Hello, not much news from wintery Northern Ireland, i swear my face froze coming back from getting my Boots meal deal at lunchtime! Just wanted to check in as i have been reading but not responding properly and so much has been happening so quickly!
Hello biscuitbreaker chico193 and spanishlady wishes you tonnes of luck in getting pg and looking forward to hearing more from you both, i echo what everyone else says this is a cosy, safe place to hang out on mumsnet.

Great news about delaying Afghanistan and am so pleased the baby plans are on!
Just wondering are you using up your pills and hoping you are extra fertile first month off in May? My own GP said it can happen that the cycle after the pill you can be super fertile but when i mentioned this to my friend who is a also a GP she said it was nonsense. I wish I had come off my pill a couple of months before I started trying but didn?t want to have af or risk being pg for Great North Run.
aly323 i loved your post about telling your other half ? i did well up a bit ? has it sunk in yet?
dinkytinky thanks for the link to the great sperm race ? i noted down lots of fascinating facts in part 1 to share with dh, it is quite a strange video, very channel 4 and interseting stats on the lapdancers - Hope you are getting lots of ?genetic payouts?! happy house hunting ? very exciting times.
Ariesgirl sending you birthday wishes and hope you get the only wish frolickers now make!
haloflo we are AF day buddies again if i have my usual 25day cycle, was 27 last month and they were the longest 2 days ever! Not testing just going to wait for AF instead as it i find it harder to cope faced with a single solitary sodding line. What is your plan of attack? Imagine if we do get pg and go over we could be faced with xmas day babies! And happy birthday for the weekend ? i turn 30 on mayday (yikes!) and love that i always get a long weekend to celebrate!
evilgiraffe loving your laid back attitude after the doctors the other day, it is reassuring to get their perspective on it, saying that i hope AF hurrys up for you.
mumsnerves sorry you had to change your holiday plans and your dh?s auntie, times like this are never easy but being with family makes it easier. I?m with you on the not testing ? just too cruel when the single line flashes up and last month nearly bankrupted me.
calligraphy i too have a short cycle usually 25 days, sometimes wonder if it is a factor in not succeeding so far but the upside is you get more chances every year. Do you know when abouts you ovukate and how long your luteal phase is? Any news on the blood tests?
mrswaj bad luck with the broken wrists, ttc is frustrating enough without added calamities. I hope that it will soon be countered by a BFP!
kkas not sure about the ewcm post temp rise, i get ov pains after temp rise and in previous months ff and my cbfm didn?t add up so i am always a bit sceptical when all the symptoms and tests don?t seem to add up to make the perfect graph!
Sorry i have missed anyone ? i have been working my way through 4 pages trying to catch up!
Sitting out the two week wait and having a dilemma about what to do about Saturday night and a wedding on Easter Tuesday. I had lunch with my best friend today and she is ttc#2 after a mmc at 9 weeks back in January, ironically she is due AF next Thursday ? the same day as me. There are 10 of us going out for dinner on Saturday night and she said she was driving cause they were trying again so now i feel bad that whilst I don?t plan to have a session i do plan to have a couple of socials (i used to abstain on the tww but this is month 8 and i feel like my entire life is on hold). It would not go unnoticed if I was to be t total - truthfully am i a bad person to have a couple of glasses of wine? How do you treat the tww?
