Madness I hope that your date with your friend was okay in the end. You mention that you get painful periods and wonder about endo. Can I ask you whether you get low grade period type pain at other times of the month too. I ask because I have had this the last two cycles and am freaking out a bit.
Biscuits I'm sorry that you had a temp dive and don't feel all that optimistic this cycle. When my temp used to do this I would look at the Erratic BBT gallery and it would make me feel better 
Mrsd It's so hard isn't it. I know what you mean about worrying about having nothing in common with other mums. I feel like a freak & I especially could identify with your idea that you may as well be wearing a sign on your back saying infertile. I totally feel like that.
I know that everyone has said that all this waiting to have a baby makes you more certain of wanting a baby but I'm a bit worried because if I'm honest I find that the longer this is going on the more I am doubting myself and panic that the whole must get pregnant thing has become a kind of personal challenge. I know I am probably just having a wobble and maybe my mind is trying to protect me against disappointment but I still feel a bit worried. 
Joycep {grin} at your nephew exploits. Did you get him to sit so you could give him a biscuit when he came back?
I know what you mean though, I doubt my mothering skills all the time especially when I teach my dog to swear at the "bloody bastards" making noise outside. That makes me sound like total Jeremy Vile material, I don't usually have a potty mouth, but it's just something that has become a running joke [blush} Still doesn't stop me shouting at the TV when Jo Frost is on at the "dumb ass parenting" like I'm some kind of pro!
I also worry when I look at some of the lunch boxes I send my nephew to school with. A fruitshoot (I know the mumsnet equivalent of nuclear reactor waste in a bottle), two packets of crisps, a dairylea dunker and 2 quid to stop at Tesco does not a lunch box make! To be fair he has food issues & wouldn't eat most of the "normal" food we have. I think though that my poor mothering skills were summed up when my nephew said "Auntie Pout everyday is Halloween with you" 
Gaga It must be so hard and you must feel a bit like your nose is being rubbed in it. I suppose that when you get pregnant and are looking forward to having the baby it must feel a bit like you & the bubs are the only people in the world and maybe you lose sight of appropriate FB info. Shall we appoint a FB moderator for when we all get upduffed?!
I still find myself surfing the internet looking at baby stuff even though it makes me sad. I try to stop myself but sometimes you let yourself dream that it might be you soon. I know exactly what pram I want, the babygros, nursery stuff. By the time I get pregnant I expect that this stuff I have chosen will be the equivalent of terry towelling nappies, smocked dresses & those Silvercross prams that were like stage coaches!
