Kim, I wanted a December baby too, because Christmas seems such a lovely and exciting time to have a baby. Realistically it's probably the busiest and slightly more difficult and awkward time, but I didn't care! There are birthdays here in December too. But of course, a baby in any month is wonderful so it doesn't matter
You will get pregnant, don't worry! I guess it can take a little longer than it did before, I expect things to take longer in my thirties than they did in my twenties, I seemed to fall pregnant around third cycle - second was third cycle, my miscarriage before then was third cycle, my third child wasn't any cycle because I hadn't long given birth but he was three months old when we fell with our daughter. We are currently on our tenth cycle, although it's our ninth ttc as there was a month we didn't do anything, I think for some reason it was a stressful month and it didn't happen. It will happen for you though, sometimes it takes longer than other times, but it doesn't mean it won't happen.
I have clearly had rubbish luck with jewellery lol! Yes, or rather my husband fished it out of the toilet for me. He also bleached it lol
He did buy me the ring, bless his heart it was the first thing he did. He got dressed, grabbed a latte and went right to the shop to buy a ring. He went to Pandora and bought this beautiful thin silver band (I have a thing for silver and white gold) with little cubic zirconia stones dotted round it. I love it. It's virtually the same as my wedding ring except it's silver and has the stones in it, and my wedding ring is safely put away in the box the new ring came in. I think at some point I will pop into a jewellers and ask about repair, if it would look ridiculous because of the discolouration or if there's anything they can do for this, as it would be lovely to be able to wear it. I'm grateful for how thoughtful he is, though. He's so sweet.
I will ask my GP about the epo I think since I am finding differing information on Google.
It must be nice to have your children home, did they have a good time?
Shameless is hilarious. I love it. My husband introduced it to me a few years back but we didn't watch it all, we had our first together soon after we started watching it together and it kind of got left so we decided to start watching it from the start recently. It's nice to sit here with some ice cream and Shameless lol
Someone asked me about rock music I think? I can't remember who! I have loved Nirvana since early childhood because my older brother brainwashed me (he always played it and also had his own guitar. Followed by an electric guitar with amplifier... seriously what was wrong with our mother back then?!? Lol! He also formed his own band for a while), Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Nine Inch Nails, then some other indie/rock/alternative - Muse, Arctic Monkeys, Arcade Fire, Dirty Pretty Things, Garbage, The Doors, Florence + the Machine, John Lennon, Radiohead, Skunk Anansie, and then I also like dance, drum & bass, reggae too and also some classical music. This prompted me to check my playlist on my phone and it appears to be wiped off! Will have to fix this tomorrow.
Jessy I'm sorry af arrived but at the same time it's good you have an answer now and 29 days is pretty good for your first period after stopping bc! Is this within your usual range? I don't listen to the charts, I used to but I don't think I have paid attention to them since my teens! Back then I would record it on tape cassette every Sunday.
Citrus! It was you who asked me about music. The only concert I have been to was an O2 concert in Hyde Park years ago, about 2007 I think. It was good, The Strokes were playing too which is another band I love, which is also my brother's fault.
Ladders - what Citrus said is spot on. Other than this, with the OPKs, it's best to avoid fmu usually although I have had two of my positives using fmu, but usually I see best results from late afternoon or evening pee. Usually my strongest positives are about 9pm, so hopefully you will have seen a positive this evening
Nearly done with CD3 here and af has become much lighter which is always a relief. Still my over emotional self at this time of the month, but starting to feel slightly more positive, ish. Inadvertently caused another argument with my husband earlier, and it's because I lack in communication skills. I have Asperger's so it isn't my strong point on a good day but during this time I struggle more with communicating and I come across angry because I'm frustrated at myself for being unable to say clearly how I feel so sometimes it causes arguments but I have an understanding husband luckily, who makes every effort to help. He is also incredibly forgiving, I can't believe he's put up with me this long lol
