Hi all! Am v happy to have dh home!! We have been to our work Xmas do and now he's having a nap.

After me dancing today someone at work basically said 'oh I wouldn't have imagined you like dancing, that's great, we should go put'. Basically because I don't like getting wasted they assume me boring...

Wtf? Oh well I don't really care, and will go out dancing.

Bank holiday here tomorrow. Woop woop.

keepJinglingThoseBells · 04/12/2012 10:18

And no clomid side effects yet, after one dose.

Woop.

beedle I believe mrb was told to jiaj on cd17. You are now a bit ahead of me, so maybe in the throes of shag week? I hope he's all over that jug next week.

Griff come back!! Ignore all the smilies we aren't normally like that

WinterSolstice · 04/12/2012 10:27

Great no side effects Keep I think I only had a few night sweats when I was on it!

keepJinglingThoseBells · 04/12/2012 10:32

Well I already have them it's so hot, so wouldn't notice!

Also, I found I didn't bring my denim skirt here, so went with the jeans. Twas an outdoor party so felt like I was dancing in a sauna!! Fun, though.

solars when's AF due at yours? Or not due Grin

WinterSolstice · 04/12/2012 10:43

Well Keep I thought AF was due this weekend but I am still AF-less but I think the body is still recovering from ivf (I think I remember Sweetie being a week late??) I think it is imminent as I was incredibly cranky with DH yesterday!!!

keepJinglingThoseBells · 04/12/2012 11:01

You had one AF since ivf, though? I thought Sweetie's late one was the one directly after ivf.

Do you know when you ovulated?

Brooking!!!!

WinterSolstice · 04/12/2012 12:00

I've had one AF directly after IVF and this would be my second one, I'm pretty sure it was Sweetie's second one that she was late on too which was the reason I used opks to track how late I'd be too. I'm pretty sure I ov'd either 17/18th (about 3-4 days later than I normally do) or perhaps even 19th as I got a +ve on the 17th and then a -ve on the 18th which was 2 weeks ago this weekend. I do really think it is the body just getting back to normal after the ivf!

Hello ladies, sorry for the rubbish posting in the last few days, things have been sooooo busy. I am now completely sorted for Christmas, apart from getting something for my parents and the meat for Yule. We have decided this year we are going to do the presents thing on Yule itself, and completely ignore Christmas. Ham egg & chips here we come!

solars surely IVF would only mess with your ov time, not extend your LP? Even if you didn't ov until the 19th you are overdue by a day. Brooking too Xmas Grin

keep congrats on getting DH back, will he be sticking around for a while now or is he having to go somewhere else still?

sparks so sorry I missed your scan - congrats!! I can't blame you in the slightest for getting an early private one done. I think I would do exactly the same.

griff hope you are still with us, and AF isn't treating you too badly.

No confirmed news here, but I think ov may be imminent (if it hasn't happened already). Unfortunately I've had a bit of wine in the last few days and that always messes up my temping so I'm not 100% sure Confused TMI alert - had mega amounts of EWCM this morning, but MrGeek has done his back in so I am going to have to hope that our efforts to date will be enough.

I've taken drastic measures to help with my weight loss this week - I have just had a full waxing, and will be giving a pint of blood immediately before my weigh-in Xmas Grin Xmas Grin Xmas Grin

I'm right behind you my lovely......

And everyone else of course Thanks

SantasLittleControlGeek · 04/12/2012 13:54

Meant to say - beedle - so jealous of your snow, in particular the large fluffy flakes. I think I was about the only person in the UK who actually LOVED the winter before last, when we had snow on the ground for two months.

WinterSolstice · 04/12/2012 16:07

You guys are too kind with the brooking, I honestly think it's just my old body slowly getting back to normality, plus I've had familiar womble twinges this afternoon which means AF will be here tomorrow at the latest.

Sparks I loved the snow too 2 years ago until I almost skidded into 2 cars in front of me who were also skidding! Luckily all 3 of us missed each other!! I always shudder to think what might have been!!

Good luck with the weigh-in Geek

Right off for a walk to the post box, brrrrr it looks cold out there!
