Oh my goodness can't believe it's been a week since I was last on here! So much news to catch up on... that'll teach me.
Hope everyone is well. My week of TTC as a result of being in the 'high fertility' zone according to my CBDM didn't quite go according to plan. Turned into more of a week of going out for drinks and working long hours! Still I'm not detered as still in the 'high fertile' zone but not yet showing as peak fertility so hopefully there is still time for me to make up for it. I think the monitor takes 2 cycles to get more accurate at when you are in high & peak fertility modes.
What sort of signals other than EWCM do people feel when they ovulate?
Hermya - thanks for checking up on us. Can't believe you are approaching 9 weeks already - time is really flying!
Ariesgirl- can sympathise with your wine thoughts. I was very good for cycle 1 but now I'm back to my old ways and wanting to enjoy the odd glass (or 2 or 3 or bottle or 2...). Hope that this is a very successful tourist season for your business. Hopefully the forecasters have it right (for once) in saying this is going to be a very hot summer!
Ariesgirl and Dinkytinky - Cavemum also mentioned my name too so perhaps we share the same name???
I did actually have a brief discussion with DH about names -he didn't like any of the names I've always liked the sound of. However not going to think about it again until BFP arrives.
Cavemum - well done on the MIL points. I'm seeing mine tomorrow so might do something similar! Although having said that she got both DH & I ones last year although she didn't get around to giving them to us (despite seeing us frequentyly) until October!!!
Dinky - glad your exam went well. Not sure if you are UK based but if so I hope your PhD means you can make better sense about what needs to be done to get our economy back on track than the politicians! Politics is starting to drive me around the bend and we still have another month until the election
zippys - are you in media or involved in economics? Budget was very nothingness - obviously predictable.
Papertiger -sorry about the arrival of AF on Monday
kkas - sorry to hear you had such a bad day on Tuesday. Hope you are feeling better now. Happy that you are going to start doing something you enjoy with the Cello lessons. xxx
Chalky - hope you are making the most of NWL. I seem to be welling up at all sorts of films at the moment. Watched 2012 yesterday and Harry Brown today - both had some sad bits. I never actually cry but think that's because I stop myself.
FelicityFlick - how long have you lived in HK? My brothers have been over there this week for the Hong Kong Sevens. Hope you are enjoying your holidays so far. Lovely that you are going to get away when your PILs come to stay - anywhere exciting?
MrsWajs - your poor DP. Hope he isn't in too much pain. How long is recovery from that? sounds like it's been a very confusing cycle for you as well - lots of hugs & bottles of wine heading your way- In fact have a Melchizedek of wine!
aly - sounds like you've had a tough week with the puppy and the girls. Hope you have been enjoying yourself since their departure! Glad your appointment went well too.
papertiger -shame your doctor gave you the 6 month advice. Seems like we hear that far too much on here.
Claire - good to see you are still feeling happier x
evilgiraffe - poor you. Hopefully the doctor will be able to shed some light on it. I'm not sure about going to see Alice in Wonderland - films with Johnny Depp in freak me out a little I have to say. But that might just be me not liking him in Charlie & the Chocolate factory and the fact that it ruined the original for me which has always been one of my favourite films.
mumsnervers - a break away in the Lake District sounds wonderful! Thanks for sharing with us - so glad that things got sorted out between you & DH in the TTC plan.
kurlyvoice - keep your chin up.
haloflo - hope the SWI is going according to plan! I paid a fortune for my ov sticks but that's because I'm impatient and don't like to wait. Need to be more organised next time and order well in advance.
kaloki - how was the chav wedding??? sounds like quite a family! And given that you are in 2WW you couldn't even drink through it!
luckyseven - shame about those chav neighbours interupting SWI. Hope next time is more peaceful
cherrycobbler and anyoneI'vemissed - hello
welcome wannamummy
I love the fact that we have so many posters all over the world so there is always things to catch up on when we wake up!
Off for a curry with DH this evening and maybe a sneakly glass of wine!
Looking at our list of graduates it seems March was a bit of a drought months. So we must be due another addition soon - any volunteers?
Phew that was a marathon effort!
Have a great weekend everyone.
Lots of love
