WAAAHH I e woken up with cystitis / a UTI. Ouuch

Sorry! Try drinking parsley tea (big bunch of parsley in a teapot with boiling water. Steep for 5 min then drink as much as you can). Works like a bomb
And of course cranberry

That's interesting- I knew about the cranberry but not the parsley. I should be ok if I get cytitis then; as well as a magic raspberry bush we've got a forest of parsley in the garden too (poor LO has 'something and parsley' for dinner everyday!) I'll send you a sackload Sarachka, or better still hop on a Eurostar and come and drink it at my place today!

 

[TrinityMom]

I am continually amazed at the things I can tell all of you!!

For your entertainment, I will officially start symptom spotting tomorrow

To help my chances at conceiving a girl, I have had Hello Kitty milk duds for breakfast...never underestimate the power of Hello Kitty! (and I left my apples at home and that's all I had in my work bag )

 

[HollyMonkey]

Good morning to you HollyMonkey and your little wriggly caterpillar .
Lovely picture again, when is Holly's birthday?

... and don't forget to share your newest update from the lab .

Holly's b'day is 3rd of Jan, so double Christmas and Birthday fun coming up!
Ha!ha! makes me think of Littlespy, DH wanted Holly to arrive before 2010, for tax reasons, but Alas!!

Not much to report from the Lab today- results are much the same as yesterday, partial ferning and 2 bricks on the tower. I might get myself a white overcoat and some goggles so I really look the part when I'm conducting my research, but it might be a bit unnecessary for simply putting saliva on a slide and peeing on a stick?!

 

[HollyMonkey]

For you then Trinitymom;

 

[HollyMonkey]

By the way I love the weird things you eat there Trinitymom, first there was Bunny Chow, now Milk Duds?!
I'm off to make a cup of Licko Slurp

And we're vegetarian which I suppose makes us weirder still

[Sarachka]

Found some old penicillin from tonsillitis in 2008 so took a couple of them. Really bad for fertility??! I hope this blip doesn't screw up my plans for this week. I want to BD today, thurs, fri, sat, sun. I was feeling really positive with my EPO results.

Parsley?! Yuck I hate the stuff. I might puke. Can I just eat it? I can eat stuff I don't like the taste of, but I cant drink it!

Hey ladies! I'm baaaack!

Ok so the story goes like this...

OH said to me the other day that a friend he works with said that his wife was pg, but she was only 10 weeks so wasn't making it official yet. And this guy was like "I can't believe how stressful it all is... I thought when u decide to try for a baby it would just mean getting your leg over more often!" (typical men lol!)

Then this guy went off to do something and OH was talking to his other mate that was there at the time, and for some reason OH decided to say "Yeah we decided to try for a baby and it's a lot harder (excuse the pun lol) than I thought it would be! ... Have u heard of Ovulation Sticks?" so at this point I was at imagining the look on this guys face as he said "what the f***ing hell are they?"
So OH briefly explained what they were and just as ge finished telling him his other mate came back into the room and he said "oh by the way Dave have u heard of Ovulation Sticks!?" to which they both burst out laughing... Then the best part was the next thing this guy said... He was like "yeah we think it involves getting a bit more sex than usual and to women it's like a science..."

Well it's very true!!! Lol!

Xxx

True for me!!!

The number of times DH has nuzzled up to me to seduce me saying 'I think you might be ovulating'...he knows my mind!! But not my body because it's rarely when I am ovulating that he does that...

Have you heard ladies? A Royal is coming up, which means Royal babies. Do you think Kate Middleton will pee on OPKS? Or maybe she's up the duff already which is why they're getting hitched?

 

[Crunchie]

Hey Crunchie what did your CBFM give you today? Mine's just covering it's arse I think giving me highs, no signs of O at all, and way too early for me! Did I read swomewhere that you got your blood results back and all was Or did I dream it? In anycase great news if it wasn't a dream...

Hi Holly

I use my CBFM in the afternoon, so I will have to update you when I get home on my bar status .....sometimes I think it just gives me a peak becuase I had enough highs ...... the month I get preggers my CBFM told me I had a peak and the a cheapie OPK told me I was ovulating a week later. SOOOOOO I do both now as sometimes I think my crazy hormones are to weird for the CBFM. BUTTTTTT it does say you shouldnt use it if your cycles are longer that 42 so maybe its stoopid Crunchie and not stooopid CBFM

Molly - I hope your docs went better that mine I was sent for the wrong tests and need to go back on cycle day 21 to be tested for something or other but I was told although my BMI is healthy to lose 10 pounds

I am v annoyed, and she told me to cut out bread.....I LOVE BREAD ! how could she say this me .......

That's funny. I just lost 80 pounds eating bread.
Oh, the ignorance surrounding weight loss in the medical community is absolutely astounding!

**UPDATE**

Still no AF for me yet.....I had a nervous breakdown last night and went to the bedroom to cry feel much better for it but I feel foolish too but hey ho Keeping my fingers crossed.....according to my calculations I would only be 4 weeks pregnant anyhow so maybe to early for hcg to show?

I'd call that one a positive. That's at least as positive as mine ever got.
