Hope you are all having a lovely weekend.

Don't worry aries my lover, It's done now and you were very sage and wise and compassionate. Glad your nephew is getting there, hang in there until you get your few days of rest.

Sorry about ERTD highheels. At least you have your hols to look forward to and can eat, drink and be merry to your heart's content. Edinburgh and the lakes will be lovely and the weather is looking quite good at the minute too. When do you start your hols in bonny Scotland then? I teach in Hong Kong so we broke up on 23rd June but start back on 16th Aug so working in August feels a little strange when that has always been the month I've had off in the UK. Last year, I was so pleased when it was 1st September and all of my other teacher friends were back at work! Is the 'equations' part in your name because you teach maths?! or is it somtehing else?

alien- Dubai will be wonderful!! I have friends who work out there so have been out a couple of times to stay with them and had a great time. It's gonna be hot, hot, hot- you lucky thing! I teach secondary and I don't know how you do primary! I reckon it's much harder with all the prep and displays and making stuff that you have to do! My DH is a primary teacher and I am just not practical or creative enough to do half the stuff he does! I have not got much planned for the rest of my holidays- chilling and catching up with friends and family like you. Oh and a couple of weddings too which will be lovely.

Welcome to cavemum ?s friend pinklady!! and also to raspberrytipple Agnus Castus is a herb that is said to help relieve the symptoms of PMS and also help in regulating your cycles and aiding ovulation. A few of on here have used it so if you want any more info just shout. Here is a bit of info for you Agnus Castus Info

Glad you're back in the land of internet cherry hope you had a lovely dinner and enjoyed all of that wine and champers MMMM- Jealous!

MrsW 4 days and counting 'til you are back in the land of the living Rubbish about the weekend but [whispers] September will be here before we know it (sorry teachers ) The day 6 test was very exciting this morning (god, I am sad! )

Hi zips, hope you're doing ok with the trying not to get your hopes up. I know how hard it is- thinking of you xx

Big waves to everyone else. I am stuffed full of food from being at my parents and am starting a strict diet tomorrow as I have a wedding a week today and at this rate I won't be able to fit into my dress!

Hope you're all having a nice weekend, lots of love xx

felicityFlick · 25/07/2010 16:42

Meant to say glad you had a nice holiday womanly and sorry about ERTD How much earlier did it arrive than normal?

and also meant to say hope you're feeling a bit better steg xx

gardenpixie · 25/07/2010 17:46

Oh highheels and womanlytales sorry to hear about ERTD... I hope you are both OK and able to enjoy a glass or three of vino to take your mind off it

Am keeping my fingers crossed for you zippys

Hope everyone else is well and had good weekends?

I was meant to be getting ready for a spot of SWI-ing but had barny with DH and am now torn between not wanting to let it get in the way of TTC-ing but still being quite grumpy.

I am hoping a couple of G&Ts might help ...!

gardenpixie · 25/07/2010 17:48

Highheels I forgot to say, a friend of mine just came back from Edinburgh and had a fantastic time - I hope you do too!

gardenpixie · 25/07/2010 18:23

Oh Steg I just read your post about your MIL ... awful! Why do people feel they have the right to ask about / comment on things like that?

If it makes you feel any better, I had a big old family party to go to this weekend ... both of my brothers have kids and EVERYONE was making pointed references to me and DH just having moved to "get a bit more space" and I ended up telling everyone we needed an extra for our dog...

So now I look like a total loser but it did shut them up!

I know it's really hurtful though so I hope you are alright ... fingers crossed your MIL learns to mind her own business soon!

highheelsandequations · 25/07/2010 21:52

Evening all, feeling a little less and now thanks to a bottle glass of wine. Thanks for the good wishes flick and gardenpixie, I was expecting ERTD but still made me want to cry. Think it's worse this month as I'm very aware that if the clomid doesn't work on the next cycle its back to the clinic for more tests. Feeling quite desperate just now and have been considering all sorts today, thinking about trying acupuncture and have also seen a book called "The Fertility Diet" that I am very tempted to order from amazon. Has anybody had any success with any alternative remedies or anything? Trying to concentrate on happy holiday thoughts, at least the arrival of ERTD today means the worst will be over when we go away and I'll be able to properly enjoy myself. Fingers crossed the weather stays nice and is as promised, looking good so far. Also this is the first cycle I've had in years and years (possibly ever) that has been less than 30 days, and that has to be good? At least much more positive than 60 day cycles.

flick correctly guessed about the name. Up here we break off at the beginning of July, was 2nd this year and also go back on 16th Aug. I grew up in england so still find it strange starting the new year in August instead of September, still it means we're only back for 8 weeks then have half term, yippee! Do you ever feel like you're wishing your life away looking forward to one holiday after the next?

gardenpixie hope the G&Ts helped

Whoever does tomorrows list could you change my number of cycles to 13 (ish). Forgot to change it this morning. Thanks.

Right, sex and the city, a bowl of ice cream, a hot water bottle and a little more wine is in order I think. Have the whole couch to myself as DP is upstairs playing on his computer doing important things.

highheelsandequations · 25/07/2010 21:56

Forgot to say, still have my fingers crossed for you zippys and hello to raspberrytipple and pinklady.

TomboyWife · 26/07/2010 06:38

Morning all. DH is on early shifts this week, which means so am I. I am emphatically not a morning person.

For a change this month, we've been managing to SWI every other day. I've discovered that things go much better if I simply initiate sex rather than saying something like, "I'll probably ovulate soon, so you should do me now." (Gosh, looking at that in print I feel like an idiot. No wonder DH isn't keen when simply ordered to perform like that. )

Sympathies to the ERTD victims, and good luck to those who'll be testing soon.

zippys · 26/07/2010 08:48

Morning all, thanks for the virtual slaps and good luck.

Highheels sorry to hear of ERTD arrival, I am starting to think about alternative routes either acupunture or relexology, even if it just helps me relax. Also restarted my diet after hols today. Let us know if you get the book and how you get on. I love your poas I think first reponse should take note!

KKas glad to hear the job process is still going well, these things always seem to take longer than you originally think, hopefully you will know soon. Have a lovely time in Edin, I echo that fact that holiday shagging is always good

LankyLegs thanks for the bubbles on Friday, that website is amazing!! I could spend hours on there!

Halo I have agree with the others I am genuinly pleased and not at all. Which actually surprised me a little. Even BFP on here have made me over the last couple of months, whereas I just genuinly felt pleased for you chick.

Steg at least you are looking at the positive side of ERTD. Your MIL sound like a mare. I hate it when people think they have a right to ask questions like that!!

Flick thanks for asking about my sickness, it has been terrible the last week or so BUT my diet has been too so I think now I am back been good it should improve a little again. I am back to see another consultant this week. I hope you are enjoying your holiday. I know what you mean about fitting in dresses for weddings we have one in a few weeks so I hope the lbs fall off!

MrsWaj I think your dream means you will have twins! I know what you mean about not counting days. It is hard not not!

Aries hope your nephew is continuing to improve and that you are working a little less and SWI a little more.

Pinklady and raspberrytipple, hi and welcome.

Cavemum ooh what car are you looking at? We were looking at the weekend. DP want to get rid of his and so we are looking at A5 convertibles, but not sure a buggy will fit in boot easily, we need to take one down and test. Which makes me feel pretty stupid when we are not even pregnant and it could be years yet!

Cherry I dont actaully know how you coped for so long without internet.

Alien hope you have a lovely holiday, I've always want to to go to Dubai.

Mumsnerves, hi how are you? Maybe they are lucky tests the free one. I bloody hope so as I will use one when I poas.

Womanly glad to hear you had a good holiday. How are you doing chick? What did the docs say to do next?

Sorry if I have missed anyone.

No real news from me, still no ERTD but after my funny month when I missed a period totally I am not getting my hopes up. I am going to test at the weekend if no ERTD by then. I still have mega sore boobs and nipples but even that comes and goes.Oh well I shall wait and see.

ooh one question I did want to ask you lovely ladies, when I had my ultrasound the woman said she could see a follicle about to pop, therefore I would ovulate soon. Could this have been delayed and therefore I didnt ov on Sat as I thought and actually later? Although I did get cramps on Sat? Sorry if that makes no sense!!

LankyLegs · 26/07/2010 09:45

Helloo lovely peeps!

My - busy weekend on here - love that we are back to our chattyselves again

Highheels really really sorry about ERTD - especially after you being on clomid I imagine you had high hopes. Sounds like you did the right thing to get yourself back on track, SATC, Ice cream and wine - a girl after my own heart. I hope you are feeling better about it all. Its a bloody bummer when it turns up month in month out.
Its interesting that you were talking about the fertility diet book - I was looking at reviews of it last week - in preparation for my detox month - however some of the reviews were indicating that this book wants you literally to be a organic vegan blah blah so wasn't not sure... there was another called fit for fertility which looked quite good. To be honest - I think we are all old enough to know how to eat healthily - but like you I want some tips on what sort of food to eat to help - how to introduce crazy things like flaxseed and etc. hmm - keep me posted on what one you get . DH and I are keen to give it a go - even if it just introduced some different recipes into our diet.

P.s - bikini waxing does take a bit of getting used to! I get Brazilians done and was slightly concerned that my waxist has seen more of down there than I have ! Hey ho! Its not to bad - you do get used to it!

Flick ooh sounds like you are having a lovely time back in Blighty! Must be sooo nice to be back! So how is it going with the CBFM? You must be peeing in pots now right? I tell you at 16 you have no idea of privacy so don't blame your lil sis noseying around! How are your cats? Must be nice to see them! Its lovely to have you back posting! We missed you!

Steg bloody in-laws hey? I can't believe the nerve of them?! I get it all the time from my mother - and she already has 7 grandkids from 4 of my sisters - you would think she is satisfied?! Na -ah! O hope ERTD isn't too bad. Wishing you luck for this cycle.

MrsWajs how are you doing? Are you totally chilled out this month or are you counting days?! I am kind of not paying any attention to days etc - however the whole 'knowing about ovulation' thing is annoying and especially when there is EWCM and all that shiz. How is a girl supposed to ignore it?!

Hello to newbies - pinklady and Rasberrytipple great names! I want to change mine now!

Welcome back womanly hope you had a lovely break. And sorry about ERTD as well - arse.

Zippys keeping fingers crossed for you ahem... hope you are not symptom spotting like mad! Not sure about your scan my dear - are you temping to see when you ovulate? I get cramps after ovulation as well so you may well have ovulated when you thought you did.Did you like my bubbles?!

Garden hope you managed to get shagging and made up with Mr Garden? Men can be such a pain sometimes - get in the ay of all our well laid plans.

Tomboy your post made me laugh as I have been guilty of using those exact same works with MrLanky - strangely he kind of likes it?! But am getting cautious of using such terms now as I don't want him feeling like he is being used - although he does sadly say that he could never feel that way and the more shagging the better as far as he was concerned! Good luck with all the SWI-ing. I don't know what I am wishing you luck?! Just enjoy it !!

Halo - so genuinely happy for your - you totally deserve it and I hope you had a lovely weekend feeling very excited

Hello to everyone else Aries (Btw pleased that your lil nephew is doing well), Alien, Evil - have you got ERTD? Or are you still on super long cycle? Your appt is this week isn't it? Good luck with it.

I had a lovely weekend - had a boozy lunch with the girls on Saturday on the Southbank which was lovely - I introduced them to pornstar cocktails and they now love me even more! I think I also got every drunk and told my best mate about the whole TTC thing and also went on to tell her when she actually tries to have babies to come to me and I will tell her EVERYTHING she needs to know before she embarks on the roller-coaster. Then yesterday was spent recovering - aggh am getting tired of party month already girls. Am not drinking now until the Big Chill festival which is next Thursday onwards so a whole (well almost) 2 weeks of being T-total and I can not wait! On other news - should be ovulating on Thursday but trying really hard not to 'bother' this month as I know it wont happen with our hedonist lifestyle.

Not sure I have done the right thing by posting this site - its quite addictive.... but kills time during the 2WW thats for sure!

Because of the brilliant influx of new frolickers i thought i should update the future graduates list on the grads thread and it was way more complicated than i thought it would be!

Some of you here are list experts so maybe you could have a look at the list below and let me know if i have made any errors or omissions and apologies for an mistakes that may offend. (i sneak in here most days to see how everyone is doing so just post any amendments on this thread)

zippys morning! don't tell my DH your DH is looking at A5s. that's what mine really wanted but settled for our tiguan because i like to be high up (guess that's the american coming out in me!) i'm really keeping my fingers crossed for you!!!

lanky your night out sounds so lovely and i really need to try those cocktails sometime! you never know, maybe its the hedonistic lifestyle that you need in this TTC mania?!

SWI week has not started off very well for me with an episode of stage fright last night. i thought we had gotten over that stage also was pleased to find one of my "friends" had posted the following on her FB status this morning: "There's an ad on the side of my facebook that says, "How to get pregnant". Really? Is it that much of a mystery?" of course she has 2 beautiful children... smug smug smug. how can people be so insenstive?!!?!

Kaloki · 26/07/2010 10:32

That'd really annoy me too kkas

No real news here either, still on sex ban while my cervix is inflamed (grrr), still on antibiotics so hopefully it'll clear up soon.

Morning ladies,
Happy Monday to all

luckyseven good job on the updated list of graduates to be.
Zips Fingers crossed for you - - Doc appt is now on Aug 18 so wondering if I shd pay and get an earlier consultation -- the not knowing the next step is a bit freaky.
Lanky ERTD arrived at 28 days -- which is OK - - just was expecting it to be later at 32-33...

Agree with others - felt no when I read halo's news -- am really chuffed for you... Then again a friend called me this morning to tell me she's due in December - and I felt DOWN AND OUT...though jumped right into work and it has helped keep the helpless misery/self-pity - why not me - feelings at bay.

Here's to all of us graduating when we're ready

Hit enter too fast --
Kaloki Hope you feel better soon.
highheels how many cycles of clomid have you had? Hope this next cycle is your lucky one.
Mrswajs How are you doing? Thank you for updating my stats
