Crossing my fingers, toes and all other apendages for you Dor.

Nothing doing here, CD 21 and not a sniff of an egg. We were going to do the sechs last night but both lost all motivation as we were so tired. We'll commence today and keep going till I lay an egg. Based on my other long cycle I laid on CD26, do I'm hoping I'll be about the same again.
I'm (obv) due my Day 21 bloodtest today but I'm going to call the clinic tomorrow and tell them there's no point because I know I haven't ov'd yet. Hopefully they'll let me wait another week as I really don't feel like more poking and prodding when there is no point to it.

Our Bank Holiday Monday will mostly be spent cleaning out the garage. Rock n Roll!!

Crikey dor I thought it was game over at 12 dpo but looking at your chart now that's definitely worth poas! Hope you can find a pee stick somewhere on the island!
cavey I'm sure they'll understand about your bloods, it'd be a waste of everyone's time.
I had a terrible night's sleep, I think due to the morphine. For hours I couldn't work out what was sleep and what was awake. I.was convinced MSB was a vampire at one point kid you not It was awful and I feel rough now! Quiet day I think.

Just looked at your chart Dor, it's looking good! I say definitely test [bugrin]

[prods Dor in the kidneys]

Oooo.

I am not impressed with this rain. We are supposed to be finishing our Easter gardening today.

ooooh dor I like the look of that chart. I say test as soon as you can. Doesn't need to be fmu, just hold it in for three hours without drinking too much later on in the day. I have everything crossed for you!!

Well well well.

A Boots test and a CB digital give me a BFP!!!!!!!!!

I cant quite believe it yet!

Omg! Congrats dor!!

(and am now a little afraid that northey is the next Mystic Meg)

And, of course..

What?! Oh my GOD! Congratulations! Hurrah for magic drugs! In your FACE, rubbish island fertility healthcare system!

I feel really shell-shocked and The Mister keeps laughing as I sit her saying 'well...!'

Oh my God, I'd forgotten my spooky prediction dream. How bizarre. I am slightly in awe of my own powers.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOHH! ARGH! I be delighted for you!
If you've convinced a cbd, you really must be diffed! Aw, I'm so happy for you dor. What did The Mister say?!

I am proper fucking freaked out! All this time obssesing over my cycles and getting pregnant and it all seems to weird!

The Mister had a little tear in his eye. Bless :)

Do you feel any different? Any weird symptoms we can cling obsessively to?

Nope don't feel different at all. Had slightly sore nips but that's about it!

Ironic isn't it? You were convinced Droid was on it's way course your lack of symptoms will only fuel our future menkulling! but actually you were diffed!

Woo hoo! Well done Dor [bugrin]

[strips off, twirls nipple tassles and shakes ample rear]

OMFG! What lovely news. How many months have you been trying, Dor?

There have been 2 BFPs on the 10 months+ thread in the past few days too. There must be something in the easter eggs!

Really well done.

Now I am going to buy 100 Easter eggs for my new fertility regime.

We have been trying 19 months. We have told my Mum and Dad, Mum has been so so desperate for us to conceive and almost as sad as me month after month.

Dad just looked at us and said 'are you sure?'

I know it's still early so I am trying to to get too excited and failing. Anything could happen but it's fabulous!

Aw, how lovely. I'm really happy for you. We're on cycle 18 so I know exactly how dispiriting it is to wait for a positive month after month. What a lovely end to all that waiting.

Thankyou. I am hoping that everyone else gets the same excitement soon... and I hope this one sticks for us.

If it's ok I will keep popping back here though. I think this is my TTC spiritual home.

I think it's inevitable that it'll take some time to sink in when you've been ttc for so long dor.
Well we've had a riveting bank holiday not I've had a migraine and slept virtually all day! Got up for a couple of hours then went back to bed! Poor MSB went a bit stir crazy cos the weather's been rubbish. He's gone out now in search of dinner - dunno if anything is open but at least he's got out for a bit. I've turned on the tv just as Grease was starting. Awesome :)

Ps dor you'd best be keeping us updated! How many PESH do we have now?
