Good to have you as a cycle buddy merk and I am hopeful for you too! I can live vicariously through you as I don't think there's a hope of me conceiving at the mo. rooting from the sidelines....
Cleaners sound great! I don't earn enough though 
. I'd love soneone to dust too- I never do it and the dust is so thick here it's quite embarrassing.

thunder it's not the ones I haven't seen in a while, DP's mates who live close and we meet up with all the time all seem to be trying or about to start trying and since we've been ttc there have been two announcements and I'm constantly wary of more announcements being sprung .

Happy birthday Pip and good luck tomorrow. Don't worry about the BMI, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have referred you if they were going to turn you away as that would be a waste of time! Sure you will be fine, and there's loads of research that BMI is a crappy measurement anyway. Spend your time being excited instead! One step closer and all that... Now, are you sharing that chocolate??

Happy birthday pip, do you have cake? Maybe inappropriate in the circumstances, but it's cake!
Am 
you don't have so many new announcements but barking I pity you feeling those nerves on a regular basis.

pip I am sure you will be fine tmi but can you have a big poo in the morning? 
sorry I have my fingers crossed for you. I have great faith that once one of us gets upduffed the rest will get dragged along too!

Good luck pip & happy birthday too. BMI is such a rubbish measurement - isn't every professional rugby player technically obese using the BMI index or something?
Welcome newbies! Right I have decided that as I still have no AF I am going to think positive & start the BFP gold rush right now.
Facts & hopeful suppositions! to support my claim:
- my previous cycle average 28 days
- last month's cycle was 31 days
- last month I was convinced I was pg, had a lot of symptoms & DP says I was emotional basketcase when I don't normally get PMT that bad
- I didn't get BFP because I didn't have any sensitive tests / tested too early but in fact it was a CP hence "AF" was late
- if it was a CP then this cycle I was extra fertile
- apparently anecdotal evidence on Google suggests if you have a CP you ovulate later the next cycle
- the closest FF came to giving me crosshairs was CD21
- if I didn't O till around CD21 then I'm getting BFN still as I'm still only 13DPO
- my coverline is in fact quite low so all my temps now are above it & the dip at 9DPO was implantation
- the early cycle crazy above coverline temps were due to the fact I was ill & DP was ill so would have been heating the bed up hugely
- I had pink CM & 1 day of spotting around the time I would implant
- I've had cramps & what I can only describe as twinges in the bikini area
- I feel bloated all the time, my sense of smell is going insane & I had a weird grease explosion on my hair a few days ago
Therefore 12 reasons I am definitely upduffed or completely barking... DP has barred me from pimping in the next few days so I will have to do it in secret

They can be funny about the BMI barking. My gp said I 'only just snuck in' for the referral criteria yet I'm not skinny (I used to be, I was a size 6 and then 6-8 then steady size 8 for years) but in the last few years - since I turned 30 in fact! - I've put on some flubber curves, finally gone up a bra size and a dress size and my old baggy trousers that needed a belt or they fell down are now too small - so I'm bloody not too skinny!!!
Happy Birthday Pip 
Without wanting to be crude, drink plenty of apple juice early tomorrow morning, then you'll go to the toilet and lose a few pounds from your bowels 
. Don't drink any more fluid after that. Wear your lightest clothes (e.g. not jeans and a heavy jumper) and do the heels in the air trick again . You'll be sorted .
thunder don't be too of me, I've got a pg colleague (in my face all the time, she's very loud and can't stop talking about the baby) and a pg SiL (who, in a bizarre twist, seems to have not only defriended me but blocked me on fb?! I 'hid' her updates as soon as I knew she was pg as I couldn't bear to see her announce it on fb and get all the congrats. Maybe I've been blocked because I didn't gush over the announcement?)
