Sorky - really sorry about your disapointment. Can only hope it works out better this time.

ClairL - you've finally pushed me to go out and find a reflexologist and get going with it over the next few months before starting IVF. And I'm starting back at my yoga classes again to help me relax too.

I had a wonderful long weekend in NY with DH once - but we did it on a staggeringly tight budget (hotel turned out to be half doss-house ). Would love to go back with some cash

Aw, sorky don't be so hard on yourself! Now you're back to CD1 - another cycle, another chance! Big hugs for you!!!

sarah LOL about front bottom! Not one I had heard until this past New Year, I think. A friend said her 5-ish year old nephew was googling it. So what's a bunch of 30-something's to do on NYE but google it too! I seem to remember goingout, getting drunk and partying till dawn on NYE - yeesh, what's happened to us???

Big hugs Sorky

Sorky, put as much as I could remember on there. . .

Awwwww Sorky It could have been a chemical pregnancy. Don't feel bad about testing early, we all do it and kick ourselves later.

Nappy, I think that was ClairL with the report on reflexology, but I'll have mine in next week!

Lottie, 'Front Bottom' was a term I only heard on moving to this country, haven't integrated that one into my vocabulary! My DP would like everyone to know that he refers to it as the 'furry front bottom'.

Back in the U.S. I tended to refer to it as 'Down Yonder'. . .I have no idea why, I'm not southern or anything

Can I ask have my positive tests, albeit faint ones, been fake then? Or was I pg but not anymore obv?
I'm at a bit of a loss to explain it myself because this hasn't happened to me before.
I'm starting to think that I shouldn't have tested at 10dpo because now I would be thinking, oh my period is a bit late this month and I wouldn't be any the wiser iyswim.
God I feel soooo stupid!

Oh Sorky I am sorry. Big hugs hun. Get some rest.

Herbgarden - bad luck too.

I know I am on cycle 1 billion but I still remember trying not to get my hopes up, but you can't help it on the first cycle, it is only natural. Big squeeze and a large cup of tea!!

Thanks Prepg for the massive list they look fab.

Not sure about the horse drawn ride, as we are not a romantic pair (well not in the more traditional way)

sarah cracking report on the reflexology be interesting to compare to Ready's experience.

"hoo har di ha"

Can someone pop me to the top of the pile tomorrow please?
Bleeding just started with nasty cramps and a negative test pretty much sums it up

Recently, I heard somewhere (Florida, I think) that a lady was driving along with her niece and saw a billboard advertising The Vagina Monologues. Apparently she was so offended that she had to explain to the 12 y/o (!!!) what a vagina was, so she complained to all the powers that be.....and lo and behold, they renamed it The Hoo-Ha Monologues so as not to offend any further.

Since hearing this story, 'hoo-ha' has become my favourite word for referring to my lady parts!

Sorky, thinking of you, wondering if you are okay. . .

Sarah ... LOL at your voting strategy! My in-laws are going to love that

Nappy ... very you're off to New York!! I've been several times and LOVE all the big tourist attractions - open top bus tours, Empire State, Statue of Liberty. My #1 recommendation would be to take a horse & carriage ride around Central Park one evening. Last time I was there, I was with one of my best friends and a few of his female relations ... I always joke it was so romantic that I almost snogged his Aunt Shirley! We were there at Christmas, so it definitely had that extra magical feel ... but the guides are wonderful and tell you about all the scenes from famous movies that were filmed there as you clip clop around with a blanket over your lap. Lovely!

Sorky ... thinking of you! Hope all is ok.

Ready ... reflexology was amazing. Loved it. Had a lovely floaty feeling last night and still feel lovely and relaxed today. Even felt more energetic today too ... The woman told me that once per month, 5-7 days before ovulation, would be ideal. She did something to my ankles which she said was related to my ovaries in particular ... and said that one side had a faster pulse than the other which she would try to balance out!?!? She also gave me a few hand exercises to do using pressure points/pathways at home. There's a point on your thumb which (when rubbed) can balance/boost hormones and then two points either side of the base of your hand which will do wonders for the ovaries and uterus when rubbed. Now, not sure if I buy into everything ... but it felt wonderful, tried so hard not to fall asleep. She also said I had the healthiest feet she'd seen in a very long time which in reflexology terms would mean that I am generally very healthy ... hmmmmm Anything I read said that it takes at least 3 reflexology sessions before any improvement in fertility could be achieved. Will be really interested to hear how you get on with yours! If you enjoy it half as much as I did, you'll love it
