Hi everyone

I am back on track again after my week of pain, for want of a better way of putting it.

Kate - sounds as though your timing still would have been spot on, I thought the OPK + indicated that ovulation was "about" to occur? someone probably knows more about that than me, I never seem to get them to work and remember to do them at the wrong time of day etc. I must admit we just go every 2nd day from about day 10 to day 18 and hope for the best, the poor people who live downstairs, we have somewhat squeaky floorboards and their teenage daughter is in the room directly under ours. DH and I often laugh that she probably says "Mum they're doing it AGAIN up there, GROSS" LOL

Chookie - glad it's not just me who does that sort of thing at ultrasounds

I had a very interesting talk with my Mum the other day about the dreaded mothers day that is coming up. This still brings a tear to my eye in a good way, she said to me "what do you want for mother's day" because she always gives my 2 sisters a present and me the same thing as well. I said that this year I wasn't too interested to be honest as it just reminds me I am not a mother. Mum says, "no in our house we celebrate being a woman and you get a present too" isn't that just gorgeous, Mum has changed mothers day just for me. I don't think she realises there is an international woman's day, but we won't tell her, the sentiment is just lovely.

I hope everyone is going well and getting ready to disembark this train soon
