You must have some faith in the NHS- they saved my beautiful 18yr old niece from a heart attack last year and did very successful open heart surgery on her, and they've been saving my dad from cancer for the last ten years...I LOVE THE NHS

Hi Holly
I must agree. They were brilliant when my dad was dying, and they have been looking after my granddad brilliantly
I live in a country where you do not get food at government hospitals, where patients and nurses get gang raped in the parking lots and the idea of public health care is a myth, so I have great respect for the NHS and gratitude for what they've done for my family I hope we get there one day

Jesus that must be hard, the French are a bit excessive (I had a blood test almost every week when pregnant) but I'd far rather that than nurses getting gang raped. I 'visited' Sth Africa on Google Earth today (I love Google Earth), the amount of countryside is enormous! And red soil everywhere! Where do you live?

Wow! That's a lot of testing! We recently had a nurses strike and the midwife I work with and I went to a government hospital one saturday to volunteer. We delivered 27 babies in one day! One woman delivered twins outside the hospital but both babies died because the strikers wouldn't let her in.
South Africa has its problems but it's also one of the most beautiful places on earth. I love going to England to visit family and shop but I am african through and through and could never leave

We live in Durban in Kwa-Zulu Natal (on the east coast). Before my dad moved to England, he had a farm which was such an amazing way to grow up
I can't wait til we have enough money to buy a HUGE property and move to the country. My dream is to go into cheetah rehabilitation

We have plans to start a national health system but I don't see it starting any time soon - too much corruption and too little action. I wish mothers were in charge of countries...things would just get done

ok......................rant over

I dread to think how much the TTC lark has cost me in the last year

It's not a rant. On the contrary what a lovely post, so much sadness, hope and truth in so few words

Don't joke, I was in Decathlon (big French sports shop) recently- at the checkout on a busy Saturday afternoon- and when I pulled out my change from my pocket 3 OPKS fell out at the same time onto the conveyor belt. I suppose you have to 'know what they are' to balk, but it was embarrassing, and they weren't even positives, otherwise I might have flashed them around a bit.
I know, disgusting having wee sticks in my pocket. I don't know what they were doing there either, but I find loads of weird matter in my pockets that I grab from LO's reaching grasp and stuff in my pocket before she stuffs them in her mouth, so I guess it was that! I must have been admiring one of my collages with her in my arms...

Oh that is too funny!!!!
Lucky LO isn't as old as mine otherwise the cashier would have had a full explanation!!!

Tell me about it.££££££££ And I ordered some regular IC opks today, I miss my collages too much and my CBFM doesn't know me yet so I'm feeling lost and alone and need an army of IC's around me

I only wanted one because everyone seems to have one and I might as well give it a go (besides I could sell it again for more than I bought it ) and it comes with a box of 20 tests sticks so bargain or what! When do I start using it

well u turn it on at CD1 and will asked you test from about day 7ish until it gets to know your cycle....But you can trick it if you want to test ASAP rather then wait

Hollymonkey is telling fibs to her one currently!!!

 

[x-ginge-x]

I think I have to wait another cycle before I can use it though? Aren't you meant to start using it on the first day of your cycle?

Yeah I think cbfms are sneaky buggers. Mine's creeping up to me, bumlicking for its first month, loves being fed those yummy expensive Urine Snack Bars...then, hop! it'll hate me! Not a single 3rd brick I'm sure.

Wow TrinityMom - what an amazing thing to have been part of delivering all those babies It's so sad to hear the negative stuff though as I agree, SA is a fantastic place, or at least when I visited Cape Town, I loved every single second of it. I know different parts of the country vary vastly. I really hope you get your dream of going into the cheetah rehab. We visited one of the reserves that did that, and I fell in love

being fed those yummy expensive Urine Snack Bars....

this is the best line EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahhahah

Crunchie I told you not to tell anyone!
You have from day 1 to 5 to set it, but Mr. Postman arrived on day 8, I suppose he wasn't to know, so I set the CBFM at day 5 and just add 3 each day to have my 'real' O- though my cycles are all so it all comes to the same!
You did a really good deal there on E bay xGingex Well done! If I get preggars I'll give my CBFM to someone on BnB for free.....

All right ladies- I have some news. Apparently OH is ahead of schedule and will be arriving at 1400 which means I will be able to make my appointment. Never thought I would be excited to go to (as my OH puts it) the "lady doctor". Also, went to the loo a bit ago and when I wiped (tmi warning) there was A LOT of ewcm... had to wipe a couple times in fact. I'm actually experiencing an uncomfortable amount of lower abdominal cramping.

Ginge- sorry about the crazed witch that attacked you in the loo... perhaps all us TTCers need to get a protective order in place?? Hopefully your new cbfm will help you out.

Well ladies, I'm going back to the and all sorts of other craziness before I have to rush to get OH and then rush off to the appointment. I'm going to be ready for early tonight... after a little BDing that is.
