Well I'm feeling pretty shitty (excuse the pun) but my tummy is aching so badly, got the poops and I'm all achey. Gonna catch up with tv tonight and then get in bed with my electric blanket.

Haha sk1pper!!! I use microwave to heat up seed hot water bottle for feet

starmist I really feel for you honey. Be kind to yourself & eat plenty of

Hi ladies, hope you're all ok.
I've had a rough couple of days. Found out my cousin is pregnant & I feel so awful for saying this but it's made me feel really jealous & upset. She's planning on announcing the news at the Christmas family do & I thought it'd be me that would be pregnant this Christmas. I know they haven't been trying long & I just feel like it's all so unfair. I wish I didn't feel this way. I ended up crying at work today, I feel like I'm not coping at all.

EJ - happy birthday! Please don't let TTC consume you in this way. This is your day and you should be enjoying it. I know you've been feeling pretty down lately but you'll get there as we all will. Just PMA, PMA...it's half the battle. Hope you've managed to do a few things you enjoy today.

Kwick - glad you're home safe. Though I wouldn't use a microwave to warm your feet...have I missed something here...

Harriet - is it not the kind of trip that can be reorganised or avoided for something this important. If it was me, I'd still TTC and work the rest out later if it did fall on that date.

Nicky - this is awesome!! I'm so glad that you experienced no pain, and your tubes are clear - very, very promising. I recon you'll be one of the next to get BFP.

I had a pretty awesome day at work, we had suppliers down from Scotland so we took them to a snazzy restaurant. I got paid to sit in a restaurant and eat for four hours. The only unpleasant part was when the conversation turned to peoples kids, everyone around the table had kids except me. Even looking around the restaurant I could see 3 or 4 very small babies being ahh-d and coo-d by the waiting staff as they went past. Ugh...

Oh ive been trying to use sods law too. Booking anythibg involving alcohol, extreme sport and spa days. Its not working so far but its proving to give me some nice distractions

PMA all the way hep!!!!

Will add photo soon! Am away for weekend. This trip was long planned before the kitchen was booked-and took longer than planned. House is still a disaster (as in boxes everywhere!! So much dust and mess.)

Am away visiting friends. We are one of 4 couples..... Known each other for years.... And this year 3 couples have little babies/toddlers/children with them. Sigh. I will not be sad. PMA. PMA.

Ohh Thankyou :) very helpful
Just wish AF would hurry! The doctors aren't concerned I haven't had a period since September :/ maybe my cycles have always been irregular but being on the pill I didn't know?! Hmm I shall keep you ladies updated ! And hope these tablets work b Thankyou x

Microwave on the blink... not sure how I will keep my feet warm now!!!

Trying to catch up on 6 days I'm a celebrity - love this show!

mrs fingers crossed that law of Sod evoked!!!

harriet start now!!! Law of Sod would be on your side

nicky this is great news and I am glad you did not experience the hycosy agony I did Can't you sneak a few DTD in even with your mum there?

Hi all ,
Just done my hycosy . I must admit it wasnt that painful but now i feel like i do when i am on my period ! The good news is that both tubes are wide open he could see a good focile at 16mm on cd9, sperm is optimal so why the heck i am not pregnant yet ??
doc did say my tsh is higher than optimal and i might have been having early misscariages or impantation problems because of it . he actually asked if iam testing early (!) i never tested early !
he gave me low dose of thyroxine and told me to test my levels again in 6 weeks ! In the end he did say 30% of couples who cannot concieve are unexplained which i did not like !
Mum is visiting this week so the ony time we will get to dtd is tonight so not too hopeful for cycle 12 !

Here you go Alice. Dr google.

In some cases, though, you may ovulate without a period. This often occurs for women who have periodsthat are irregular. You can technically experience monthly bleeding and no ovulation, but that bleeding is not a normal period. Instead, it results from an anovulatory cycle.

www.mypregnancybaby.com/ovulation-no-period/

Hahahaha lol thanks for that ;) I shall give it a go? Wil that help then??
And lots of different answers but-- can you Ovulage without period?!

Tough one harriet I would say to be totally sure then wait until Jan but even so, babies can be as early as they want to be so no guarantees!

(In case not clear, wouldn't want DH to miss the birth)

We are so due a BFP on this thread team!

I need your advice. So DH is away with work in the last week of Aug 2017. If we started TTC in dec and miraculously fell pregnant first cycle, the due date would be 7 sept...but first babies are usually late, right? But should we wait until Jan (7 October due date) to be safe? We agreed jan but so impatient...

Just bought vouchers for an overnight stay and spa for DH and I for next year in the Black Friday sales, so that must now invoke Sod's law and I'll be pregnant before we go! We will still go of course but I'll just have to stay out of the hot tub and sauna.

Yeah I told DH that we can go private for an SA if we're still not pregnant after 6 months. Looks like there aren't any independent clinics around near us though so would have to pay for a consultation at our local hospital which is £230 for or £165 for a male out-patient assessment at a hospital about an hour away.

Probably Alice - do not give up hope! Alao shag as much as possible so you catch the post MC spike in fertility!!!

Great picture mouse!!!

Sorry for AF miranda

mouse STEP AWAY FROM THE HPTS!!

Happy Birthday ej!!!! hope you are feeling better.

Having a quiet day at home today after going to FC this morning to pick up some more fanjo gel (progesterone). Also have a work call at 2pm no rest for the wicked.

geeup if I get preggers I think, at 42, I am classed as a geriatric mother... hope that offers some consolation!

Okay I feel like some PMA is needed:
I am a juicy fertile ripe lady
I am ready to receive every good thing in to my life
I am in perfect time

Thankyou very much!!
I had a mc in April and then had a period in September but since then no period do you think it's still settling? Xx

Way way behind on thread!!!

In the space of a week 2 of the people report into me have announced they are preggers. I am happy for them she says through gritted teeth

mouse I would have punched friend in face - but then I am a bit hot headed!!

jam CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Amazeballs on the award winning!!! please may I have this miracle product whole stocks last?

sk1pper for AF but yay on less cramps - maybe I just give that a whirl

hep there is a light at the end of the tunnel - hope you now have a fully functioning kitchen - please may we see a picture?

miranda you should be testing with FMU (and a FRER)!!!
I also think you should "accidently" trip up lady you run with

Really sorry fxskip

Congrats music! That is an achievement!

Got back to Blighty last night - it is fricking cold here!!! Am just heating up hot water bottle for feet!!

mrs if you can afford to I think having a SA is a good idea - so you can rule it out.

jam LSFX!!!!

Welcome Alice!
Sorry about your MC
It can take a while for AF to settle after an MC - I had one in MC and my AF is still not right - also this cycle I was at day19 before any sign of LH surge. I am not sure how good agnus castus is - best of luck!!!

Aw Happy Birthday EJ. Hope the day gets a bit easier for you
