Congratulations Miasmummy on the safe arrival of Finn.
What wonderful news!
Cheese,glad all is going well with the pregnancy. Will you find out the sex of your babe with the amnio results?When will you hear?
Deige, sorry about AF. Yes, I think Agnus Castus (also known as Vitex and Chasteberry {as it was used to calm down monks in the bollocks region,I have heard})will help sort out cycles if they are too long or too short. I'm not taking it at present because I am taking Red clover isoflavones - another nature's clomid,so don't want to take both together.My cycle length is good, but I thought the red clover may help boost estrogen and consequently give a nice strong ovulation. I took red clover the month before I fell pregnant with my DS. Fingers crossed it does the trick. I still haven't had a + opk, but I suspect the almost positive I got yesterday might have been + if I'd waited longer and hadn't drunk so much water. I did another one this morning which is also almost positive, which either means I have already surged,or perhaps will later, so I'll check again this evening after holding my pee for a bit. If it is lighter I'll suspect I had the surge during the night. We've had plenty of SWI, so we'll see what happens. I took my temperature this morning but it was a bit high, I don't think I Oed yesterday,but possibly through the night, or taking your temp after sex will possibly drive it up 
Deige, I have heard conflicting info about caffeine. I am surprised that it could lower fertility so much, however,we are up against it in our forties so I suppose it can't hurt to tone it down. However I heard(on another forum for over 40's ttc) that tea was very good for fertility. I have heard about green tea being good, but this was about black tea. I do drink a lot of both black and green tea, but hope that it isn't too much caffeine. I should probably throw in a few more herbal teas during the day.
Remnant, I haven't done anything about the advent calender, but I think I will today.Every morning DS asks "how many days til Christmas?", so I know I should.I might get a chance to shop today. Depends how busy I am at work...
My FIL has had surgery to remove a cancer from his face, now they want him to have 6 weeks of Radiation therapy. This is just another thing for him to contend with. Last year he was seriously ill with pancreatitis, which at first they thought was cancer and told him he had very limited time. My Dh got that news on the day of my ERPC after my second miscarriage. That was a truly crappy day.
However,it turns out the diagnosis was wrong and he had an autoimmune condition. He also had a DVT, so is being treated for that,and other issues too. Along with DH's mum having a stroke the two of them are on a mutitude of drugs and need help remembering to take them. It is just awful, and it inspires me to be very careful with my lifestyle - eating well and exercising-because I hate the thought of ending up like that.
Isabeller, you are a saint to look after your MIL like that. I just don't think I could do it. What an angel you are.
Calibee, it sounds like you had perfect timing. I hope your eggs were waiting with outstretched arms.
It is that time of the morning again, 7am, so I must eat something and dress myself for the workday. Double period of year 8 cooking today...Argh...they are the bane of my life
