Settle down girls settle down as I hand you all a yummy pornstar cocktail complete with a sparkler and tacky umbrella. I take it we are all wearing our fabulous vintage 50's frocks, high heels and have our red lipstick on? Make yourself comfortable in the penthouse... the naked butlers are just heading in with grapes and truffles in trays...

All new first timers welcome - as long as suitable goodies and alcohol are dropped into the penthouse for all to share.

Morning ladies, and sorry for my absence the past couple of days. I've been -- well, I've been in the pub. Thursday was a leaving do, then yesterday I went for "one" with my colleagues, didn't think I'd drunk all that much (though it was way more than "one"), got home, and pretty much had to go straight to bed. This after promising DH I wouldn't be too long and I'd spend the evening with him. Blush

Note to self: stop doing that.

Anyway...

garden sorry to hear about the BFN. Sad

And sorry to those whom ERTD has got: Josie Lanky and anyone else I may have missed.

raspberry good luck to your DH protecting himself from paintballs in the family jewels. The place I went last weekend had cricket boxes for sale. Perhaps he'll go in for one of those.

Have a great weekend everyone!

kkas · 18/09/2010 16:35

hi guys

just an update to let you know i survived my 20 mile walk.... only just. was a lot harder than i expected but so glad we did it. and good news is that my mum has been cleared from cancer - i am so relieved! Grin

also saw the gp re my blood results. FSH/LH, estrogen, progesterone were all fine. she gave me some of the numbers but can't remember them off the top of my head. i'll have a look at the ones i wrote down later flick. she was slightly concerned about my thyroxine levels that showed i may have an overactive thyroid, which was puzzling to me as i don't think i have any of the symptoms that generally mean thyroid problems. she is sending me for a re-test for those, but i have to wait 8 weeks. and she's referring me to gyn re my painful periods to see if there could be fibroids or endo. don't expect that appt to come immediately but at least we have started the ball rolling. and i'm so glad that hormone-wise everything looks pretty good. reinforces my belief that we just haven't been doing it enough or at the right times so will just try to take it easy and keep SWI - although easier said than done.....

hope everyone else is enjoying their sunny saturday.

alien06 · 18/09/2010 16:40

hey everyone, I survived the MIL visit lol. Now to finish work bits and chillax for x factor whooop! Yeah DH is good, gets fed up with me talking about TTC though so do my reading in secret and barely mention it really.

Not sure what else I can do differently this month as SWI at the right times last month but to no avail! Im jsut chilling and having it when I want now, cant be bothered to fit it in with ovulation- my friend got pregnant unexpectedly and when the docs worked out the dates they said she technically shouldnt have even been able to conceive so im going with that theory lol.

raspberry your DP sounds just like mine except when he goes out I cab barely get him off the sofa lol. Oooo paintballing, cant say i have ever fancied doing that , well at least not when my DH is playing as he is ex army and has a wicked shot on him! I tried pole dancing once but got soo bruised and also didnt feel comfortable as everyone else could do it except me :( its something I have always wanted to to though!

Anyone watching X Factor tonight? :)

xx

Bellaby · 18/09/2010 18:17

Can't wait for X-Factor and a few more episodes of Lost this evening

raspberrytipple · 19/09/2010 02:01

girls I know I shouldn't drink and post but I just had the most dreadful night.DP is away (which is extremely rare occurrence) and I went out for the night with my three best friends. They individually are my three best friends, I trust them with my life but they are not friends of their own making if you know what I mean, individually if they met through other circumstances they would not be friends, I am the knot in the chain - if that is even a saying. So two of them fall out tonight, big time, nearly a full on punch up. they dont know each other that well and one friend turned up already drunk, the other three of us were sober.

I am in such an awful position. I really wanted to have a good night out because I dont go out that much - through personal choice because i dont like going out til all hours while DP is at home alone - so wanted tonight to be a chilled out, relaxed nice evening but as I say one of the party was drunk before they came out and got in a very bad state. I had to ask a bouncer for help at one point but by the time I came back with the bouncer my friend had disappeared. Although I accepted she was totally in the wrong to try to appease my other friend I also know that she is going through a horrific time because of things my other two friends know nothing about and probably wouldnt or couldnt begin to understand. that said, it is no excuse for the way she behaved tonight. she was hammered when I finally gave up and walked away from her but I spoke to her when I got home and she was like the normal lovely person I know she really is. Drunk person was gone completely and so I am completely bemused as to the things that occurred.

Needless to say 0nce we left her earlier in the night (I wasnt a complete bitch, I tried to put her in a taxi home, tried to convince her to leave early and get home safe but she stropped off and I couldnt find her) the night was pretty ruined. Ive just come home and cried my eyes out. I hate to put on DP while he is away, as I say he never has a proper night away just with the lads so I feel awful but I sent him a text and just said 'if you get a quiet minute could you ring me' but I know they were going to a strip club then to a VIP lounge somewhere so doubt he will hear his phone. Boo hiss, now im worrying that while im crying his has a pair of big boobs in his face!!! raaaaaahhhhhh!!!! Im so upset (not about boobs, about my friends!!)

I really just wanted a nice simple boogie night out, not a whole load of heartache. Just wish DP was home, I wouldn't be half so upset because he would know just what to say.

Sorry to dump here but I have no where else. I wouldnt know where to start. Just feel very, very sad and need some sympathy please because I think I may have lost three very dear friends tonight. They are the only three who i have told we are trying to conceive too so I really need them!! feel like shit Sad

MissFlick · 19/09/2010 02:44

raspberrydarling, what a horrid night you've had. I hope you've had a good sleep and are feeling a bit brighter this morning. I don't think you will have lost your three friends. You said that the drunk one was fine when you spoke to her when you got home and also that she is going through a really tough time so that somewhat explains her behaviour. The other two might be a bit angry with the drunk friend but they won't be annoyed or angry with you as you have done nothing wrong. It might be a bit awkward to meet up as the four of you for a while but you will still have them individually as your three best friends I'm sure hun. Try not to worry too much and give them all a call this morning when you wake up, that will make you feel better sweet and then your DP will be home later on.

kkasWell done on the walk!! glad your tests were ok. It's great news that the hormone ones were all good and I'm sure that if the doc was really worried about your thyroid they would put you on medication now. Your result must be on the borderline so she must just want to double check. Glad you are getting those painful periods looked into too.

Glad you survived the MIL visit alien :) and that you're feeling better too.

tomboy hope you weren't too hungover yesterday Grin I have done exactly the same thing on many occasions in the past so don't worry!

bella how you doing chick? What series of Lost are you on? We have finished series one of The Wire and are going to watch series 4 of Prison Break then we will watch 'The Final Break' and then FlashForward is on the agenda before going back for series 3 of Mad Men and Series 2 of The Wire. God, how sad am I?! Having my box set line up so pre arranged! Is X-factor on the live shows yet? I will start watching when it is as I can't keep up with all of the auditions when I have to watch online!

My Emma Cannon book arrived yesterday so I have been having a little look through and I already love it. crazy I am a Cold too so am going to get myself some oils and have lots of baths! Have already started wearing my slippers to walk on the cold tiles too.

Morning Lovely Ladies

raspberry sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your night out. As Flick said I'm sure it won't affect your friendship with them individually as it wasn't your fault at all and you were trying to do your best with a difficult situation. Hopefully you are feeling happier this morning

kkas so pleased to hear your Mum has the all clear Grin and really well done on the 20 mile walk!

Flick we are on the final series of Lost and only have 3 episodes to go. Seems to be a lot of questions still unanswered but am really enjoying it. After this we'll be watching the latest series of Nip Tuck and are also waiting for the DVD releases of Desperate Housewives and 24 which I think are imminent. I'm doing well thanks for asking. I'm getting anew stomach cramps and my nipples have become very sensitive but I'm enjoying having the symptoms. It's odd but it has felt more real this time even though I can't put my finger on any specific symptoms or reasons.

DH is mostly concerned about me getting enough Vitamin D so wants me to plan a couple of holidays for second trimester - what a chore Wink

I went for a client lunch on Friday with one if my favourite clients (there were 5 of them there). I didnt drink as said i had another meeting and had to drive home. Afterwards they tried to call me but I didn't hear my phone ring so they called my colleague (who is also luckily a goodnfriend if mine but male) to ask if I was pregnant. I didn't quite know what to say so made a joke of it but think I might have to tell my colleague/friend so that he doesn't start putting the idea into peoples heads before I am ready to tell. I guess it is not easy to escape the speculation.

Right off to tennis shortly

Have a lovely day everyone

MissFlick · 19/09/2010 09:31

Just read bellas post and saw that I missed the part about the news on your mum kkas! I don't know how I managed that but I'm so sorry to not have mentioned that earlier because of course it is the best news! Phew. So pleased for you hun :)

bella Desperate Housewives is meant to be released mid September, have it on pre order from Amazon so I forgot that will be arriving imminently :) and do you mean series 8 of 24?!! ShockI didn't even know that was on the cards let alone out soon! 24 is my favourite of all. So pleased that your symptoms are good and that things feel a bit more 'real' :) I think your DH is right about those holidays- get yourself off somewhere sunny. Might be a good idea to tell your work colleague, like you said. Being a male he will probably forgot you told him anyway and I always think men are less inclined to gossip anyway! Enjoy tennis

crazybutterflylady · 19/09/2010 10:22

Hi Frolicking ones :)

Just popping in to see how you all are.

kkas fab news!!! and well done on the walk too x

garden sorry about the BFN but it's still early days...stay positive.

raspberry ((hughug)) for last night, try not to feel too upset about/responsible for other people - you also have lots of your plate right now so you have to try and look after yourself. I know its tough when friends fall out and you feel torn, but they are adults and they'l be ok. Sorry it spoilt your night out though, I know how that is. Just have a lazy and treat-filled Sunday and hopefully you'll be feeling better soon.

bellaby the holidays sound fab, lucky you! I think you should just tell the colleague at work. I have told a few already because I work in a very small team and I know people would guess. I wanted to put the record straight before people were gossiping about it!

flick day 8 of 24 had just finished on Sky so it should definitely be out on DVD soon. It's fab!! So glad you got the emma cannon book. I found it a relaxing read apart from anything else, and that it stopped me thinking about things too much, because there was somewhere i could go to get my fix, if that makes sense!! It's so weird, but since I read about the cold thing, every time i feel my abdomen it's cold! Incredible...! I am sure it always has been but I have never really noticed it before. I do love a nice radiator though and hate cold feet, so it's worth following if only for comfort :) I was having baths with ylang ylang and trying to eat warm food instead of salads etc. There's a DP section further on too, so make sure he follows that :)

Hi to everyone else, hope you're enjoying lovely weekends xx

Toriajayne · 19/09/2010 20:02

kkas Great news about your mum! Well done on your walk Grin

Raspberry That sounds horrid, fingers crossed they pull themselves together, but as crazy said, they're grown ups, os hopefully they'll all be fine.

Bella let me know when you've finished Lost and what you think of the ending!

We're back from the land of wind, rain and no mobile signal or internet, I got to speak to my cousin who's studying in Germany and we had a lovely chilled weekend with the family, though OH is going to get a swift kick to the shins if he keeps it up, he spent the whole weekend in the kitchen doing prep work for school. Why does this annoy me I hear you ask? Because the work he's doing is stuff he should have done weeks ago as he's going to bloody Sweden on Tuesday with school and has stretched himself so thin that he's now behind and stressing. He's getting no sympathy as I have this argument approx four times a year with him about him signing up to too much and then getting in a mess. Hopefully this time will be the last, though I doubt it lol.

Hope everyone has had a nice chilled Sunday! I must now go sort out the washing as I have no uniform for tomorrow I need new clothes!

JosieSmith1 · 19/09/2010 23:35

Evening all

Had a fab weekend so I'm secretly pleased that ERTD arrived as I wouldn't have enjoyed myself as much on sat if I'd been wondering if I was pg.

Anyway, plenty of JSing to come this month! Grin

kkas great news about your Mum!! [happy]

Hi to everyone else, can't catch up properly as internet keeps failing but will be at work on Tuesday so will catchup properly then

Good morning lovelies,

Hope you're all well today :)

It was a quiet weekend in The Three Follicles- can I tempt you back by letting you know that Pornstar cocktails are on special offer? Two for the price of 1 :)

Sounds like you've had a great weekend josie what have you been up to?

toria Mr. Toria has been a bit naughty hasn't he?! I am guilty of similar, but I am the other extreme- I have to get everything organised about three weeks in advance and just stress and stress until it is done. Although not this month- I am maintaining my zen like calm :) he he!
How long is he off to Sweden for? Glad you had a lovely chilled weekend.

crazy I checked when 24 is out on DVD and it is the 25th Oct so not long at all to wait. I have got myself some oils and plan on lots of relaxing baths. You're right, it is a really relaxing read.

My weekend was very chilled out. Stayed in on Friday and caught up on my TV whilst Mr.F was out. Went to a friend's on Saturday afternoon to have a girlie showing of her wedding photos and then out for a curry with some friends in the evening and then yesterday Mr. F and I went for a nice walk which ends up at a gorgeous beach. Then we met some friends for lunch before going home to get stuck into season 4 of Prison Break. It was a lovely weekend and we started the PSFs so now sticking to the every other day tactic for the rest of this month.

Love to all

LankyLegs · 20/09/2010 09:19

Morning Frolickers

How are we all? Hope good weekends were had. Just a quick one from me this morning.

Sorry I haven't posted for a few days been quite manic at work and then didn't go online once this weekend which was nice!

Flick sounds like you had a lovely weekend - hope you have recovered from not feeling well the other day? Also sorry you were feeling a bit down (I know that was a few days ago though) We all have these spells don't we? Hope you got some SWI action in after ERTD as well. Excellent that it arrived and has no gone of course!

Josie sorry about ERTD as well - heres to this month being better for all of us. Hope you had a lovely weekend.

Cavey hope you are having a wonderful time in Prague!

Rasberry hope everything is ok with your friends. I think things get said when people are drunk and of often in the cold light of day people regret what they day. Hope you heard back from them. On another note - your pole dancing seems to be quite advanced doesn't it?! Very cool - doing a tricks lesson Grin

Bella hope you are managing to keep it a secret! The thing is its so obvious when you don't drink that people automatically assume that you are!

kkas well done on your walk - that is very impressive! Hope you enjoyed the rest of the weekend! And lovely news about your mum too.

Crazy I have just got the Emma Cannon book too! It must be contagious. Hope you are ok my dear - sounded like you had a bit of a freight (was reading on the other thread) take care of yourself. I suffer occasionally from migraines - but mostly makes me feel sick. Anyway - pleased you are ok.

Toria hope the weekend wasn't too drizzly! And I think all women end up chewing ears off of their men for trying to do too much sometimes!

Waves to everyone else - sorry its short - will try and catch up later!

I feel a lot better after a nice relaxing weekend and some retail therapy yesterday as well and am going to try and follow some of Emma Cannon's ideas! I am apparently blood stagnant! Which apparently responds well to acupuncture so that's good!

Hope Monday fly by all round

xx

crazybutterflylady · 20/09/2010 11:25

Hi Lanky, glad you got the EC book, I really like it. What sort of things do you do if you are blood stagnant? It's all really interesting! Glad to hear you had a relaxing weekend, sounds like it was just what you needed.

I'm feeling a lot better today thanks, it was very scary but was relieved when I realised it was a migraine. I have got a massive wave of morning sickness today so I am hoping that means the bean is ok!

MissFlick not long at all till 24 and it is well worth the wait :)

Am just about to watch Bouquet of Barbed Wire now... work is that quiet. Apparently it's v good, only 3 episodes on itv Player. Oh and Spooks starts tonight, wahooo!

(God I am a loser Wink )

Florin · 20/09/2010 14:22

Afternoon ladies.
I worked all weekend although dh came down to stay with me on Saturday night in the hotel which was nice. Tested Sunday morning but got a bfn. My normal cycle length is now 31 days but I normally spot 2 days before. So spotting is late however ertd is due today and still no sign.
Got home at 10 last night and dh had to sit me down and tell me there had been a horrid fox attack on my very loved chickens and ducks the nasty animal had chewed through the wire. Lost 4 ducks a chicken and my bunny. 2 of the ducks were a wedding present from my dh as we had an indian runner duck theme so he bought me to real ones so they were super special. So not a great day for me with being knacked from working all weekend and ertd messing about. On a positive note this book you have been all raving about is it the baby making bible? Might have to get it to cheer myself up.
Sorry for the me me me post, will catch up properly later

womanlytales · 20/09/2010 14:25

Hello Frolickers at the 3 follicles,
I am in the last leg of my holiday - due to be back on Saturday.

kkas Great job on the run and fab news on your mom.
garden Sorry about the bfns -- Fingers crossed for you in the days ahead.
lanky Sorry about FERTD arriving. Glad you had a good weekend.
Flick Great to hear your results came all ok :)

On my end - my holiday started with me taking a progesterone test - result 0.4 / Shocked and upset. However being on holiday has helped keep me distracted and not stress too much - though I did cry at the frustration of it all. Why are my follicles not releasing an egg? Don't know...oh well.. Now the team want me to scan on CD 2 so am waiting for ERTD -- Just wish it comes quickly this time around rather than making me wait....

Have a lovely week and I hope to catch up with all of you.

MissFlick · 20/09/2010 15:10

Oh florin sorry about the attack :( That is so sad. I wish there was something i coud say to make you feel better but I know how hard it is to lose a pet, let alone in such horrific circumstances. It is sounding positive about your lack of ETRD though... When will you test again sweet? The book is indeed the Baby Making Bible- it's a really interesting read. Hope you're feeling ok today x

Great to hear from youwomanly sorry about the progesterone test :( I don't know much about progesterone testing sorry to ask if this is a stupid question, but does that definitely mean you're not in with a chance this cycle? Glad the holiday has distracted you and also that you have a plan for next cycle. Will you be home in time for the CD2 scan? We're missing you here xxx

Morning lankyyoubusybee What did you buy in your retail therapy? I still have an annoying cough, thanks for asking :) but I am battling on! I am making sure that I take lots of rest as advised by Emma Cannon!Hope your Monday is not too busy.

Hi crazy I've not heard of that program you're watching- I'll check it out! I'm so jealous that you can watch TV at work Envy Hope you're feeling better now. How long until the scan? 2 weeks?

HRHCavey · 20/09/2010 15:44

Good afternoon ladies! Hope you are all well!

Prague was lovely, apart from the awful flight times! We've been up since 5am UK time so a nap may be on the cards later on!
We managed to cram lots of touristy things in - visited the Astronomical Clock, Prague Castle (where they had a Cartier exhibition [drools]!) and squeezed in a dinner cruise on the river.

I've been very impressed by all the talk of The Baby Making Bible, and I see that it is on offer with Amazon. Perhaps I should invest in a copy! Certainly there is still no sign of any action in the ERTD department.

I have, however, discovered a acupuncture and relexology practioners who specialises in fertility issues. Her practice is only 10 miles from where we live, so I may think about giving her a call.

Must dash now, need to stock up the bare cupboards!

Florin how horrid about the attack :(

Womanly sorry to hear abou your progesterone result, like Flick I don't know much about it but it obviously upset you, glad the holiday is keeping you sane!

HRHCavey Glad you had a good time in Prague! It's definitely on my list of places to visit :)

Lanky I would like to live vicariously through you as I can't afford retail therapy atm, whatcha get? :)

Well it's grey and miserable here so I'm going to curl up with something bad for me and some more Angel I think, OH is still at school trying to finish the stuff off for Sweden He has also locked me out of the garage but wants me to finish his washing before he has to pack in the morning. Ha! Breaking into my own garage is not on my list of things to do today lol.

Imaginary symptoms are all but gone, which is good as I was getting pissed off with myself lol. Will probably change my mind and test before he leaves the country, just to keep up my end of the multiple early testers sorority (I have 22 tests kicking about now, so I owe it to them to try, right?) Have my first session of reflexology tomorrow so looking forward to that, especially as work is getting to be not fun anymore atm, fingers crossed that'll pass though!

Evening all, thank god Monday is over! I feel proper poorly Sad sore throat and flu'ie feeling and everything. That will teach me for letting DP go away for the weekend!

I am going to pee on my first ever OPK stick in approx. 30 minutes. I am now on day 11 of cycle and the box says to start roughly around now so wish me luck!! Lots of SWI yesterday as DP was away Saturday night, bless him I think he did miss me even if he wont admit it!

I have now spoken to all three friends who are of the opinion that what's done is done and life goes on although I don't think they will talk to the naughty friend for a while which is a shame but thank you guys for the sympathy, I felt pretty crap on Saturday night but it's not the end of the world. I am currently still feeling guilty for calling a taxi driver a very rude word after he made us pay £6 for a taxi and as I was getting out of the car I noticed the meter said £3.50!! Cheeky git but it is certainly not a word I use frequently or I hope will ever use again. I'm blaming the drink.....

toria I think if I had 22 tests and DP was away for a while I would probably test too.... go for it, one little test wont hurt but dont be too disappointed if its BFN, there will be another 21 to tell you BFP when DP returns!!! Fingers crossed for you.

HRH glad you enjoyed Prague, its sounds wonderful. I also hope you didn't buy too many treats shopping! I'm terrible if I go in a rush, I buy the most random crap and regret it as soon as I get home... then have to eat it! Grin

womanly hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday and start to feel a bit better about your test. I'm not really familiar with progesterone testing but I'm sorry its made you feel crappy.

Florin I'm so sorry to hear about your BFN and the horrible fox attack, they really are brutal animals and I have to say I have a lot of sympathy with farmers shooting them. They do tend to kill for fun and destruction rather than just to eat. Hope you feel better soon.

crazy sorry to hear about your migraine, they really are horrible and teamed with morning sickness sounds dreadful! You have had a few days of it. I am going to look up the Emma Cannon book I think, everyone seems to have the bug for it so may as well give it a go, I don't like to be the odd one out!

hello Lanky. I make my pole progress sound wonderful don't I. It's really not, I am actually quite crap but figure if I go to things like the master class I shall have no excuse and just have to hang off that pole like my life depends on it. My mother actually thinks it does depend on it after reading about the poor girl who fell from a foot off the ground and landed funny on her neck, she is now paralysed from the neck down poor thing. I have told my mother I am more likely to sustain a serious injury falling of my bike, I tend to be a bit careless riding and have had some awfully dramatic falls but hey, she is my mother she will never stop worrying! Glad you had a nice weekend and good luck with the EC book!

Flick your girlie weekend sounds lovely. That was my plan for the weekend but it all went a bit wrong. Oh well, its an excuse to try for another one!

bellaby have you been busted!! I always think its a bit mean for people to ask. Most people know that you wait for the 12 week scan and even if I have suspicions I wouldn't actually ask around to find out, its an invasion of your privacy!! Well done with the Tennis, I love tennis but I've never played it properly, you must be very fit though! How long do you think you will keep going for?

tomboy DP did quite well at paintballing, only got shot in the neck, nipple, thigh, bum cheeks and arm so not too bad!!

kkas - 20 mile walk! That's pretty good going how ever long did that take you??!! Good luck with the SWI, it can be so frustrating when you are not quite in the mood but know that it is that time, try not to get too stressed out about it.

alien pleased to hear you survived the MIL! You should deffo try pole again. The bruises get less the more you do it because your body just sort of gets used to it and everyone has to start somewhere! You'll soon pick it up. I haven't ever tried paintballing and dont think I ever will, especially not with DP - he would kill me!

highheels are you here and how are you feeling lovely?? xx

Right I'm off to prepare to poas, wish me luck!

Evening All

Just popping into the Three Follicles to take advantage of the 2 for 1 offer as I've managed to escape work early Grin

Florin I'm so sorry to hear about the fox attack. What an awful shock to come home to.

Toria I wasn't quite sure what to think of the ending to Lost. It left me quite a few questions and not very clear. However I read something today that one of the writers wrote explaining it so now it is all a lot clearer and I am happy about the way it ended.

Lanky glad you manaed to have a relaxing weekend. I think time away from the Internet is very healthy every once in a while. It's so strange to think how much time we all spend on it yet 10 years ago sites like this were only just starting to come into existence.

Crazy So pleased to hear you are feeling better after your scare. Hopefully you won't have a thing like that happen again.

Flick your weekend sounds like a lot of fun. Hope you are enjoying PB. Can't believe it's still another month until 24- seems like a long time to me!

woman,y sorry about your test results. Hope you have still managed to enjoy the holiday. Look forward to hearing all about it.

HRHCavey glad you had a good report about Prague. Hope you manage to catch up on the sleep

Raspberry Get Well Soon. You poor thing. Hope it won't get in the way of your SWI. I'm not at all fit but do enjoy my tennis. I'd like to keep playing as long as possible but not sure if that is the right thing to do. Quite funny as I was asked by one of the girls at the club to partner her in the internal doubles league as her current partner is pregnant. I agreed of course but was quietly laughing to myself. Hopefully I have a few months of tennis left in me yet Hmm

Have a lovely evening everyone. 20% of the way throughout the week (25% for me as I have Friday off Grin)

Toriajayne · 20/09/2010 19:49

Raspberry I knew having that many in the house was a bad plan but it was much cheaper to buy them that way lol. I'm prepared for BFNs as I always knew it could take us a long time to conceive and thought it probably would given my family history, OH is another "It'll happen when it happens" types so no pressure from him which is nice (if frustrating when I want to sulk hehehe)

Bella What did you read? Would be interested in that as I shouted at the TV a lot when I saw it lol.

Bellaby · 20/09/2010 20:41

Hey all, hope everyone's doing well! I've just got home from a fabby weekend away with DH, celebrating our first anniversary and indulging in lots of SWI (sorry for TMI). I took my thermometer and LH ov sticks with me, and Fertility Friend is still saying "ovulation not detected", which is slightly depressing, but I'm still hopeful. You never know, right? Just so long as I don't have another >200 day cycle again...
