Just trying to catch up!
Clair, our hamster's name is George, as in the Bugs Bunny cartoons where the abominable snowman would grab Bugs and say 'I will love him and squeeze him and call him George'. I've also been doing DP's genealogy and there are tons of Georges, so it's a family name too He is a winter white Russian Dwarf, used to be almost totally white but now that spring is coming he's getting bits of grey on his bottom and head. I really wish we could have a dog. I brought my lab/spaniel cross over from the U.S., but sent him back to live with my friend who has kids when I initially thought XH and I were going to split up 3 years ago. It was the hardest thing ever, but I know it was best for Jack and at least I can see him when I go home. He was such a perfect kids' dog, was wasted on me! I still miss him terribly, but having something furry around makes it easier.
Minxi, sorry you're back at the top but at least AF finally arrived and you're set to try again. Maybe just ovulated late last month? I know what you mean about 'liver'-like clumps, if they are browish supposedly it means its old blood. I tend to get that on cycles where I haven't ovulated, but that certainly might not mean the same for you. Glad my chart-nosing was somewhat useful!
PrePG and rattling, re: short luteal phases, have you tried taking B6 vitamins? I'm on Pregnacare which has 10mg, and taking an additional 50mg tablet from Holland & Barrett. I only had an 11 day LP before, and the first month I took the B6 I had a 13 day LP. Also, as a lovely side effect, my boobs didn't hurt at all during my LP!
Pizza here......posting temp soon, it's gone down again.....
