Boom I told you it was your cycle!!! . Congratulations!!! 
Sorry Bunny
Pip I'm sorry but I don't really understand the implications, does that mean you have to start again next cycle? Presumably it doesn't count as a failed cycle and take away one of your chances? So sorry it's not gone smoothly first time .
Boodle where are you?!?!? We need would like news!!!
I didn't take the clomid last night. Internet sources all agreed it's not good to take if pregnant so as a result DP and I have agreed to only take clomid every other cycle, as I will never be able to tell the difference between spotting and AF. Gutted to feel like we're delaying things but it's the only safe and sensible option. The consultant told me to regard any bleeding at all as CD1 so I'm now on CD3 but no blood as yet this morning and only the small amount of brown blood yesterday. Trouble is this could be a normal AF for me, I won't know until I have my one 'proper bleeding' day.
Just off out for the day. Will obviously now forget all about ttc and have a nice time ahem.

Oh Bunny, really sorry to hear AF has shown up. Take care of yourself today; the world will still be out there tomorrow, so have all the chocolate you want! Hope you feel better asap 
Pip how are you feeling? How did they catch the overstim? I hope it isn't too uncomfortable and that first thing Monday morning they have some answers for you, and a really clear path forward!
Blind feeling better yet? I think feeling blue during TTC is at least a 50%-of-the-time thing, at least for me!! Hope it passes soon!
Boom still smiling at your news! First round of Clomid, a win! Look at you!!
Hi Peasant, frustrating isn't it when an Ov stick gives you a good answer a few days after you were expecting it and throws off your planning!! Maybe your fella will come around; it's the weekend after all, plenty of time for a relaxing shag, right?
Merksie and Thunder what's it like not having to TTC anymore?
Hey Happy, yep CD16 here, what about you? Team Not-Synced-With-The-Group, for the win!!
so DH & I started shagging in earnest this past Monday, and have managed 2x a day since Weds 
FF hasn't given me crosshairs yet, but I had a faint line on an OPK on Weds evening, with strong positives Thurs/Fri, and then back to faint again today. Had reset CBFM (which hadn't given me a Peak reading for 2 straight months) and happily it went from Low on Weds to Peak on Thurs. Temp dip on Weds. All seems on track - so why am I wondering if maybe our Mon am + Tues pm shags won't be "enough" to have coincided with a Weds ovulation? or does the strong pos/Peak CBFM on Thurs mean my ovulation was more likely today, since it would detect the surge, which would give me another 12-24 hrs til the big O? I feel hopelessly confused. Here's my chart
Apart from the useless second-guessing, I'm recovering from a manic 3 weeks. DH and I finally have a solid week of "just us," so we started it off with a fab drinks & dinner date, followed by a looooooong lie-in and a superbly lazy day so far.

Sid your chart looks fab. Imagine your peak LH was Thur eve (assuming you do OPKs on morning) so guess O between Fri eve and Sat eve. Seems to me you've hit every possibility, but one more shag in the morning wouldn't hurt

Merk thanks for the review; it makes me feel better to think I'm ov'ing Fri or Sat night, bc then all our double DTD days will come into play. I started PIMPing 3x a day 
on Weds, after reading what I think you'd said to someone else about potentially missing a surge if your surge was 12hrs long and you only PIMPed in the morning. Moi, an overachiever?? Thurs night I had Ov cramping, I believe, but now am twinging a little, so who the hell knows.
Harrumph, I just want to be pregnant and get on with things, just like everyone else! (and am kind of desperate to not start the 2ww just yet since our next stop is a FC if this cycle doesn't work, and I am really loving the idea of not having to stand around in just a top in front of God knows how many male doctors while paying for the privilege) (plus I would really really like a May baby!)
