Sea Don't worry I'm new(ish) to this too. My first meeting with the consultant was my last one back in June. I didn't expect to hear from him, but couldn't bear to wait for my results so called up my GP and got the receptionist to read them out over the phone. I've learnt from these ladies that there is always a way and that the NHS need a lot of prodding to keep on track. Although I was quietly impressed that the consultant wrote to me and didn't need prodding. He may be a patronising old man but at least he is good at proper correspondence.
Nelly GL with the NHS. I'm looking forward to my next needle sesh, I felt really odd and like nothing had happened immediately after but did feel different later that day and the following day (although I did see Blur and go on hols, so whether I was just in a good mood anyway, I don't know!) Also a bit 
that you have to put on weight. Cake with nuts in though, non? I'm not overweight, in fact I'm smack bang in the middle of my BMI, but I would like to be a bit down the scale again (holidays and family gatherings are evil to the waist line!) Grr.
MissM so glad you had a lovely hols. I don't know what would delay a period outside of the obvious (BFP). But I do seem to remember the TCOYF lady talking about delayed ovulation or when the body keeps trying to ovulate but doesn't and that the luteal phase doesn't usually change, it's the ov date that does. Sorry for uselessness
rum 
at twat wear. Now you're just making me think about bald tyres. Why? I have no idea. Utterly wrong, but quite funny. I'm glad foofs don't wear out like tyres on cars. Imagine a foof pit stop? :) (the back and beyond of my mind is clearly warped and twisted)
joy how was your last minute gathering yesterday? A new kitchen and puppy respectively I hope? Just as Rabbit suggested.
buzzy glad Mr B is being so helpful, that's really amazing. I could never imagine Mr P researching fertility stuff.
Artemis hoorah the UTI is moving on. How is it going in conference land? Loving that you were reading during a boring talk.
Critter always impressed at how you deal with this. You are a true ledge. Blood work sounds terrifying. Can I ask... what the hell is blood work?
Rabbit I did laugh about your small accidental slip about even being annoyed by 10 + announcements We all knew what you meant really!! But your post last night prompted me to go up off my arse and make dinner. Your dinner sounded lush. I made a delish lamb stir fry last night with courgettes, tomatoes, ginger, green beans, ginger, garlic, ginger and soy sauce. Did I mention the ginger? Served on a bed of not-so-fluffy brown rice. Mr Princess was quietly impressed! We had some of my mega smoothies for dessert too. It's amazing how much better I feel when I make an effort with my diet.
Well the chimp book is going well. I've been selectively doing some of the exercises. I've interspersed reading with planning the kitchen, which is so much fun. Although slightly daunting how much it all costs and may have to reign in some of the ideas. Boo hiss. However, I am thinking of getting some of the bigger (nicer) companies to design it and then give it to Mr P and his friend who makes kitchens so that Mr P can learn to make a kitchen (with supervision of kitchen making friend of course)... How hard can it be 
??? I've also been having loads of fun (yep, you heard it fun ) teasing Mr P, who is at home today about how much his inner chimp keeps coming out today. He has named his chimp too. He thinks I've gone mad with all my analogies and explanations but it's good to have another monkey to observe. It's certainly given me food for thought. And an increased appetite for bananas 
I haven't once been troubled by TTC in my head today, small babies and children made me smile and pregnant women were ignored. It's not entirely their fault that they're pregnant (true though ) And my chimp, is calm and in her box makes a change . I even managed to negotiate a hostile chimp inducing phone call, a conversation battle about a plain roller blind or a spotty / floral blind in the new kitchen and a discussion about a birthday present for PiL, and whether or not they can feed me tarte au citron tonight or if not, are they are allowed to eat it in front of me. Or do I have any other suggestions for pud tonight. I have no idea how many times I have to tell them to have what they want and I'll either bring my own or not eat desert. Last time they bought out a plate of nuts, apple and dried fruit and they looked like they were going to cry whilst forcing down "health" food. I don't even have a sweet tooth FFS (small chimp slip). They don't need to worry. Grrr. Mr P reminded them that I have to keep calm and that their fussing causes me stress, so it would be better for them to carry on and not to flap about a bit of cake / crumble / pie.
Waves to everyone. Oh and anyone seen Pout around recently?
Big hugs, tail feather shakes and the rest of the routine xxxx
I'm off to buy a brown pudding (so the PiLs don't feel guilty) and kitchen magazines. Girly yay :)
