Mother - no, could have found out at the scan on Friday but I managed to persuade DP to keep it as a surprise. I'm the only grad so far to do so though - hope I don't regret it! So far I think the grads have had scans showing two pink and one blue...

Soph80 · 25/02/2013 20:37

Congrats to the grads!!!!! Ace news!!!!

Mother how long have you been trying for (if you don;t mind me asking)?

ILoveMyCats · 25/02/2013 20:40

Thanks, merkin

MotherOfCleo · 25/02/2013 20:42

janey your restraint is immense, I don't think I could not find out, I'm a control freak. Grin

Of course not soph this is month 6 but cycle 5......it seems sooooo much longer though. Hmm

CatsCantFlyFast · 25/02/2013 20:48

We're in order except for Barking, Pip, Captain & Cats... not sure when your BFP's are on their way so let us know. Gives me something to do while finger drumming and waiting for shag week to start...

On a side point I did make a BIG claim that we were aiming for 21 days straight shagging this month so that O can't appear suddenly and surprise me without me getting round to shagging at the right time again currently day7 and expecting O between 17 and 21 so the shagfest has begun. What's the betting we get bored tire ourselves out before the important days! Grin

CatsCantFlyFast · 25/02/2013 20:49

Ooh mother read about the nub theory this morning... 'claims; you can tell at 12 week scan and it looked fairly reliable!!

ILoveMyCats · 25/02/2013 20:53

Errr, I don't know when af/bfp is due. In on cd70, yes, 70...... Started acupunture to regulate cycles last week. She said I could get pg this cycle if I haven't already ov, as the accupuncture will regulate hormones to ov, if haven't already or regulate progesterone if I'm in looooooong luteal phase. Grrrr!

CaptainMollingtonCholmondeley · 25/02/2013 20:55

Merk AF has just arrived today, so next cycle will end one way or another on about 31 days.. That's assuming DH has recovered enough from recent stresses to think about jumping bones.. Hmm
Would be a pretty big ironidiff if it worked this month, given we can no longer afford even a pack of nappies post company meltdown!

CatsCantFlyFast · 25/02/2013 20:55

Cats poor you and FX for both O and BFP SOON!! Smile

Soph80 · 25/02/2013 21:06

sorry to hear about your af Captain. Mine will undoubtedly be with me this week Sad

2cats been thinking of having some accupuncture myself. Do you know when you're supposed to have it (if there is a specific time)? Really don't know where to start in finding out info.

barkingtreefrog · 25/02/2013 21:06

Can I book myself in for a BFP on the 21st March? Although that's going on the average, it could be 14th March or 27th March, and actually the BFP maybe wouldn't show until a few days past anyway due to my maddeningly short LP... I just had to edit that as I'd booked myself in for a BFN!!! I'm really not helping myself here! ^^

barkingtreefrog · 25/02/2013 21:08

Soph80, does this help?

well done re link barking. My local accupuncturist has a half price clinic on a wed afternoon and I just so happen to have 3 days off and nothing to do!!! x

barkingtreefrog · 25/02/2013 21:58

Glad to be of service Soph!

Boodle9 · 25/02/2013 22:07

Evening! Oh my god, busy! Congratulations, Mother and Fairy.

(More) progesterone cream ordered and ready to try this month, regardless of whether or not DH is back for OV day. If not, I can just see what effect it has for funsies!

Barking, glad you're happy with GP visit. Have fun waiting for the referral letter...I'm seriously thinking about some kind of webcam trained on my postbox so I don't have the disappointment of coming home from work and STILL no letter. Grrrrr.
