And please do visit lots! x

Sorry funky, that's a shitter.

Sorry to those who think she is looming as well although the Mantra goes you're not out til you're out....

Yep bunny it was the big old 12 week one. The one that went spectacularly wrong last time. I was beyond petrified. But it all looks ok. I just can't believe it.

I guess that means my time here is done. I will still lurk and follow your stories- I hope that's ok. You are all brilliant and I can't wait to share your happy news when the bfps come in...

Sorry to those AF has got

I fell off the list

Sorry to hear AF has struck a few of us down. I'm trying to keep myself busy but knicker-watch for spotting is becoming increasingly obsessive!

Oh funky that's crappy!

The trouble with my early warning system is I have another 5/6 days of waiting for AF to actually arrive, deep down I know she is def coming but there is always a teeny percentage still holding out hope!

Sorry Funkymonk, took me so damn long to copy list over on phone that I totally missed your post. Sorry for such a crappy start to the weekend.

Just creeping in to add myself to the list. Also, I know I'm a bit late for the 'annoying things people say' discussion, but the couple of friends I did tell about TTC (one of whom was the most instant of instadiffers) kept harping on about the relaxing thing, and also kept telling me that I should make the most of it and 'enjoy' the trying. I'm sure they were trying to be helpful, but it felt like they were saying it was our fault we weren't getting pg because we weren't having enough fun! If only I was a better lay...

And me!!! No positivity from me I'm afraid haha! We all need wanging today!!!

Ooh boodle you sound as positive as me

Tired here too, ate too much pasta! Night y'all

Hello all! Thank goodness it's Friday! I need to do some serious napping!

Ladybunnikins, why thank you for the chart compliments. Unfortunately I wouldn't read too much into it. Last month's chart was also very pretty and it came to nothing. Starting to feel pretty PMS-y and it's 12 DPO tomorrow so I'm expecting the spotting to start ever so soon.

Sorry to not catch up more but I'm feeling yuk tonight so it's time for me to crawl off to my bed (which has lovely fresh clean sheets on...bliss)!

Ooh thunder is this the big old 12 week?

Popped into town earlier for some food, all the way in we followed a bus with a massive pregnacare advert on the back FFS!

Tomorrow I will be pottering as hubby out then last BBQ of the season on Sunday!

My mum is here til tomorrow night (she lives in Albania) and then prob agonising over whether to pimp on Sunday!

I'm working tomorrow morning and then just relaxing for the rest of the weekend, might go clothes shopping, might go to the cinema, bike ride, swimming. Sometimes I do appreciate being child-free!

I am entertaining this weekend. Including some babies. Hmmm.

in denial about scan in the morning

Working :(

Soooooo what are people up to this weekend?

Good work Kuma

Show DH the IVF stats for your local clinic, pre 40 and post 40. Hopefully it won't come to that but there's a stark difference in success rates. I think my DH now takes me a bit more seriously when I start stressing about my age.

We never managed ed. this successful cycle I think we dtd 4 times in the window of opportunity. Clearly got very lucky!

We can manage ed on holiday or at the weekend, but struggle during work time. Looks like I'm out of the running next month as DH will be away when O should be. October is another holiday though

Gillster I have booked an appointment but earliest date is 24th Sept. Will also spend some time this weekend persuading DH that we should cough up and do the private consultation; he has been working away this week.

In our last cycle we attempted DTD for five straight days around the critical time but were only successful in 4. DH was nearly broken and he's a pretty fit man. We were both working full time so I think it's quite an achievement even though it did us no good . Haven't quite decided on the plan if action for this month. Given that I generally OV around CD20 I feel we need to pace ourselves early on and increase the tempo nearer OV.

Hugs Kuma, you would think that some holiday shaggage would increase your chances but unfortunately not. Think it might be time to instigate some tests though, nudge nudge.

boo to AF kuma might be joining you on the SoP shortly!

Not certain but pretty sure AF is a coming grrrr, because +opks were 3 days later than usual I reckon I still have another 6ish days till she cometh, but I expect a bit of spotting will occur on our anniversary on Monday!

Sid hope your body was right!

Whatever the experts say, there is no way on this earth that we can DTD every day unless we are on holiday!
