happy I use an app called ovuview, which is pretty good. Can't see ovufriend in the Play store, so perhaps its the same thing for a different platform? Don't dare to install another as my 2.5 year old phone is barely surviving and can't really afford another at the mo....

bunny I'm in the same place as you (but only cycle 5), CD 23 today and annoyed at myself for wishing my life away but just want to get AF out the way so we can start a new cycle. Already have premenstrual rage which doesn't bode well for the weekend as the outlaws are coming up and I find them challenging at the best of times...

Wishing everybody a good stress free day!

MrsB00Mbastic · 13/06/2013 14:09

sid in agreement with barking, that nurse was bang out of order! If I were you I'd complain/mention it to your surgery, she shouldn't have made you feel like that. Coming from someone who actually does speculum/vaginal examinations (a lot!), I'm well aware of how uncomfortable/weird they can be and have absolutely nothing in common with DTD! I would NEVER be so bloody rude or insensitive!

Oh and I'm sure the blog is lovely but I just can't bring myself to be anything but bitter today so will avoid it until I'm feeling more generous Grin

boodle hello stranger! Nice to see you popping by! Hope all is well with you x

barking don't get me started with people convenience-ttc'ing. AAARGH. (Although saw one of the MNers from an old 'ttc after MC' thread had commented - direct and to the point Grin)

Right, got to go have academic supervision about data synthesis. BLART. My life is mega exciting at the moment, can't even DTD to break the monotony Hmm

Have a good day y'all xxx

Hello everyone

Remember me?

I too have been on a bit of a mn sabbatical due to losing the plot one too many times but I am now back and feeling positive- whoop! And skip!

I am sorry to read through all of the medical staff and lovely pet woes, broken willies and upsetting blogs.

As for me I did as I planned and ponothing this month. Feeling strangely calm as a result honest!

Bunnygirlie · 13/06/2013 18:42

Hello barking kuma boom and thunder

Good to see you back thunder how are you?

Bunnygirlie · 13/06/2013 18:42

P.s. do we need a new list?!? Wink I loves a list!

Thundercatsarego · 13/06/2013 19:02

Hey bunny! Good to see you cycle buddy! I'm on cd 25 and managed more dtd than most months. Af due mon/tues I think.

I'm ok thank you. Trying to think zen thoughts. And breathhhheeeee

Bunnygirlie · 13/06/2013 19:26

CD23 here and we did well this month too, days 11 13 15 18 which is good for us but didn't get a +opk though so it was probably for nothing Sad AF due weds/thurs I think!

BlindKitty · 13/06/2013 19:29

at boodle

syd yep that story is nice but I'm still mega Envy! Shag week starts for us today too yey not (cd13)

barking re the other thread, some people just don't know how lucky they are!

boom if dh doesn't remember who's side he's on at the next fc appt he will regret it!!!!!

Yet another bfp in the brooking thread. Mostly ivf bfps...soooo wish my imminent iui was ivf!

CharmingCats · 13/06/2013 20:31

God, there's a documentary on 5 about Will and Kate's baby. Don't watch.

CharmingCats · 13/06/2013 20:39

Hello thunder how the devil are you?

Spotting has started, so AF on her way. Can't be implantation, must be about 12/13 dpo, if the scan is anything to go by. Cd 71, so it's good in one way that the cycle is ending, but I am sad that there is still no bfp. Next month will be month 12.

I will be able to take on the new job too..... But a baby would trump it all.

BlindKitty · 13/06/2013 21:04

charming quick out channel 2 in instead (nice cat documentary!) Grin

BlindKitty · 13/06/2013 21:04

*put

Thundercatsarego · 13/06/2013 21:52

Oo charming was it you with the exciting job offer? That's fantastic news. Obviously a baby would trump it all but each small celebration in life should be celebrated I say.

bunny that's very good going indeed- fingers crossed the opks LIE!

blind where's my wave? Eh? Eh? Humph.

Bunnygirlie · 13/06/2013 22:46

Tallyra · 13/06/2013 23:37

well cd1 here for me, but been told that the scan I'm waiting for to check for scarring is at least 2 months away so no more TTC until then. don't want to get diffed just yet (logically anyway, my heart tells me I should just go for it, but if there's a chance of fixing something first, I really should go for it). grrr.

Tallyra, 33, ttc since 2009, 3mmc with hg, waiting for yucky internal scan to check there's no scars in there before going for it once again.

Thundercatsarego · 13/06/2013 23:40

Oh crap kuma, should we stock up now on chocolate wine and beanbags?

Hi tally how's the quilting? 2 months for the scan? That totally sucks. If only they could just do it now and you could move on. Phhbbb

happylass · 13/06/2013 23:56
