I love the shark and the penguin!

Well I've been super busy packing all evening so no time to really catch up.
However, bad news is that AF will be here by morning, I've have very little spotting but I can feel her coming.
Good news is that I had the results of my egg reserve test at my IVF appointment today. They said that 10 is ok 20 is good. Mine is 30!! She did weigh me though. And by BMI was a little over so I need to get that down before the first cycle. In all they were really positive. They still said its only 30% per cycle though.

What news here?

Boodle Advanced smileys on fb?!?!? What have I missed?!

for me too please!!

Mmmmmm! Mulled wine! Yes please, Bunny!

Barking, I am seriously immature with things like this. What's that? Your has gone cold? Just wait there a sec...

Raaaaaaaar!

Sorted.

You should have seen me when I learnt all the advanced smileys on facebook. That was a great day.

Raaaaaarrrrr! Four dragons all in a row! Four for a boy, that's the saying, isn't it? (Oh wait...magpies...dragons...hmm.)

Woohoo!!!!!!

As they say, it's the small things.....

Barking - maybe just try [ dragon ] to see if you can do it anyway! If we can't get a BFP then FBD is the next best thing as far as I'm concerned.

FBD has spoken!

I wish B6 had worked for me. It didn't. I've ordered some flax seed oil to try next month. Just for poops and giggles, as you do.

Boodle I want a fire breathing dragon but I don't think they updated the app just gore the day and I'm on my phone, no dragon emotion that I can see .

Wow, so much to catch up on again!
Tally we do the squeeze and roll to save the bed sheets. On the towel front I breathe in, wrap it tight and tuck in tightly, then breathe out and it's so tight it doesn't usually slip.

Boom you are not a basketcase or alternatively we all are and your gp is a complete idiot.

Bunny have another . B1tch. «at AF, not you»

she-who-was-trying WOW!!!!!! And extra WOW as I had pretty much given up hope because of my short LP until I get sweeties clomid but I started taking B6 (50mg daily) this cycle, so maybe it might work for me too!!!!
I'm on cycle 17 as well!!!!

Not gonna lie, Bunny, 12 months is a total utter bitch! Multiples of 9, 10 and 12 are all bitches! (I'm sure you can work out why!)

Charming -we have that too. Our cats are a right pair of flirts and we've always got cats hanging around our house and garden. We don't really get it in the winter, but now the weather is starting to improve I have seen a few appearing in the vicinity! Last year we had one particularly keen male who used to just come and lie in the garden with them. He hasn't been around for a while but when he is here, they all roll on their backs singing mewing!

Raaaaaar!

foody, I also did a double take when I read your bfp! I think we've got used to the opposite.

Do any other cat owners notice that their cats have made friends with neighbourhood cats? Ours have cats that they chase, ones that chase them and others that they sit happily with in our garden. One comes to call for them after breakfast. It's really funny. A new friend appeared this evening and our cats are worn out from the playing!

Raaaar! I'm a fire-breathing dragon!

That is all.

Foody/Trying massive congrats!! I had to do a double take when I read BFP!!! Let's hope it's the first of many.

St George's Day

Ooooooo congrats Foody/Trying amazing news after all those months of TTC - gives us all hope!
Major OV pain here (which is when it should be happening) so guess the hope lives on and shag week continues in to a second night!

Btw what the hell is this ?

Wonderful news, foody! I was just thinking how we've not had many bfps and wondering if other threads are. Well done you!

I had a very nice conversation about ttc with a lady at work the other day. I was talking her through my career woes and told her that I didn't know whether to put myself through it as we'd like to start a family. She told me that she'd tried for 2 years for her first and had him when she was 34 and dc2 at 38. She then regaled me with stories of against the odds conception of her friends and finished off by telling me to never give up and that if it's what I want, I should prioritise that and look after me! All in all, the complete opposite of what I was expecting from her as she is usually moan-a-minute. An insta-differ friend also offered me a listening ear and to meet up without her ds, 'if it makes it easier'. Bless, some people can be very sensitive too!

DH manned up and dtd, so hoping that we'll get another one in as the opk line gets darker. Is that right? I thought it was best to dtd in the days leading to a pos opk, rather than just the day of, the day before being the best. That's why I switched to ics from smileys as I'll be able to see the line getting darker. Also, saves some money.

Hi foody loving the name change now that your previous name is no longer apt!!!! You've inspired me to keep shagging then this month poor dh CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! How did you tell dh/dp?

Bunny - chin up chuck; we've all been there and it's completely shit. I've said this before, but I found the 10 -15 months point to be reeeeeally bloody difficult. Before 10 months, I still felt vaguely optimistic, and after 15 months I started to get more philosophical about it all.

Trying - fantastic news. I think since I lured you into the Berry thread, I think you should make sure I get a BFP sometime too, yes? Not too big an ask?!

Boom - your GP is crap. Definitely look into the counselling though if you think that's something you would benefit from. Honest to goodness, how can anyone, let alone a GP, not get that TTC is extremely stressful and a miscarriage is a bereavement? Utterly insensitive and you need to give your DH a kick too...united front and all that. So for you!
