The rats are all going to be jolly well smacked, we are going to have lots of festive BFPs and possibly a mince pie (or three)

[Munkiii]

Welcome to all!

Grab a glittery tinsel wrapped ramekin, grab some mulled wine and join our very lucky thread.

Thanks guys. We've been told to ring the consultant's secretary when it's done so I should think if there's anything there, Mr Have will get a call early next week.

Have I am keeping everything crossed for you my love. Brooking like there is no tomorrow

Morning Biscuits how are you?

Imps any news on the secret railing chainer?!

Beautiful morning everyone. I now get to see the sunrise everyday due to a certain ever-increasing ball of fluff . Though the funny thing is, Otis won't let Mr Maybe have a lie in at all, he goes and puts his paws on the bed and nibbles him. Otis and Maybe 1, Mr Maybe 0

Oh no sorry to hear about af Whim she's an absolute witch

Imps are there any new developments on the bicycle saga?

Have good luck with the test results

Otis sounds so adorable Maybe where are you in your cycle by the way?

I'm a bit less busier today so that should give me more MN time (yay) i will read properly through the thread now How is everyone else? Is there anyone testing soon?

Oh Whim what a cow. Still, at least she made an attempt at Christmas spirit and all that. Hurrah for champagne breakfast Christmas morning

Otis has his moments Solars CD30 here. Am trying to convince myself that I don't have a funny taste in my mouth and am overwhelmingly tired, as don't want to get my hopes up

Gooooooood morning ladies!

Imps I would be hopping mad (but it doesn't take much :o ). Is your paintwork ok this morning?
If it's still there in a few days I'd be taking my hacksaw to the lock

Bean that calendar sounds lovely! Om nom nom :d

Yay for smegs monster egg! Ha ha @ google, well you're clearly not dead, so....! :o

how was your first week back at work? :)

DH is also a nurse! He has Christmas off this year thank gawd. I am fed up of feeling like a spare part at someone else's Christmas lunch
olives Your week off sounds like sooo much fun! What are you going to see? The only thing I have seen in recent years is Wicked which was good :)

have Fingers and toes all crossed for Mr Have's scan results :)

Sorry to hear that, Whim. I am brooking we all have 2012 BFPs, however, *disclaimer: except for those still waiting for AF, who shall have 2011 BFPs :o

CD3 here, nothing to report but PAIN :o

Oh Pop I LOVE making socks, and turning the heel is the best bit ever. I can get back to making my socks now I have finished christmas gifts

Sorry you are in pain. Hope you have a hot water bottle nearby

Brooking hard for MrHave

Sorry about af whims.

maybe I didn't realise we were both on CD30! I am overwhelmingly tired too. It's 9.30 and I've just had a 20 min nap on the sofa while my dd watched a film.

Hold on one cotton picking minute - Little you're on day 30?? Don't you usually have short cycles?? When did you last PIAR??

Whim - time to learn some martial arts techniques to keep AF at bay for the foreseeable future. This is YOUR month my dear and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Well I am pleased to say that Bikegate as ended positively - there was a note in my letter box this morning saying "Apologies - I will park my bike elsewhere next time." Now I am feeling guilty...

Ooooh just noticed the festive smilies!! Hurrah

Oh, amazing Imps Glad it ended well!

Little pee on a stick This is amazing news. And the tiredness!!! You are soooooooo upduffed!

Oh, I meant to say - I finish watching The Great Sperm Race (or "The Great British Sperm Race" as I accidentally kept calling it last night when speaking to OH - I must have been confusing it with The Great British Bake Off - and you really don't want to get those two confused [hgrin]) and thought it was excellent. My heart did sink slightly though when two experts said that the better the sex, the higher the chances of conceiving - who wants to spent time and effort when a quickie is all you can muster up the energy for?? .

I did shed a little tear when the sperm met the egg though - powerful stuff.

[hgrin]?? I meant of course.

Omg, festive smilies! yaaay!

maybe I have something even better - a warm lap cat
I've never really "done" socks before tbf, but I am enjoying these. I'm doing them two at a time on magic loop as I usually get bored by the time I get to sock 2 and never finish it

Imps DH is on late shifts tonight, I think the Great British Sperm Race might have to be my guilty evening viewing :o

Morning! whimsical sorry AF has gatecrashed.

Little So you're incredibly tired and you're on CD30?! Umm... I know you did a pee stick earlier in the week and it was negative, but maybe you should do another one soon? Just to be sure, like...

Well done Imps! No need to feel guilty, you did absolutely nothing wrong. Unlike the phantom bike-parker. I haven't seen the Great Sperm Race in ages, I remember it was pretty interesting. Did you find it on iPlayer or is it online elsewhere?

Brooking extra-hard for Mr Have this morning.

Popcorn I hope you feel better soon, tea and ibuprofen always helps me. Ooh, and those sticky heat pads. I always stick them straight on me though rebel despite what the instructions say.

Yay! Festive smilies!

Oops. Nothing to report here, CD16, think it's the last day of SWI. Very tired but that's because I got to bed very late. IL's are coming to stay this weekend as company for DH as I'm off on a hen do. I've been cleaning like crazy so they actually have somewhere to sit .

Little - POAS already! I reckon from your post earlier this week you're 12-17 dpo now? So if you were 12dpo then that's still a little early potentially for testing? I'm trying to figure out from your post but did you mean that if you were nearer 12 dpo then you didn't rate your chances because of illness putting you off SWI? So that would mean if you are more dpo then you might have hit the golden egg?

Thanks for the gravy linkImps - looks like hard work but I'll give it a go [hsmile]

Maybe - I'm doing fine thank you for asking [hsmile]. CD30 you say? When might you be planning to PIAR?

yes Maybe when? when? when?

Imps glad to hear bicyclegate ended peacefully!

Pop here have a and and hope you feel better soon

Are you off anywhere nice for your hen do Scrambled?

So, Little, on which days did you SWI then??

Little, not Little. Pesky baby brain.

Has anyone seen this? Please excuse the source but it looks like multi-vits might be more useful than I though

Gosh Pregnacare must be loving that!

We did use the his n her Conception Pregnacare one though - and I do think it helped DH's sperm improve. After 2 or 3 mths of taking it his SA showed increased motility (but then of course the first SA could have been non-typical iyswim?)

We took it fairly religiously after we moved in March and got PG in June / July. But then we'd also had the HSG so could be any number of things.

I've also seen lots of other people on other boards be recommended different combinations of nutrients etc.

Hmmm, the cynic in me suggests that Pregnacare may well have commissioned the study for their own benefit. There was an article in the Daily Mail paper the other week about how washing clothes at 30 degs is terrible because it doesn't kill bacteria...low and behold the very next week Ariel or Persil or someone unveils an antibacterial washing liquid that will work at 30 degs...

That's interesting Imps. The 30 degrees thing has been around for a while, but it was suspiciously timely!

Nevertheless, I shall be referring DH to said article and shaking his man-vits at the same time :o
