Morning all and it's a pretty rubbish one in Melbourne after yesterday's scorcher! : (

Teresep and Sonyalouise - I'm so sorry to hear your news. Nothing we say can make it any better other than I hope next month you get a BFP. When I got my AF last month, I took consolation from reading old threads on BB, and it's amazing that almost 100% of ladies have tickers on with babies ages. So it must work for a lot of people eventually. Hang in there x

'Thirsty ladies' - I'm bored bored bored with soft drinks, and can't stand most fizzy drinks - the only thing that quenches my thirst is tonic water with ice and lemon - that might work if you are v thirsty? (the only other fizzy thing I like is champagne )

Just one bit of info as I asked the question some time ago on an old thread about swimming or having a bath after IUI. I asked FS on Friday and he said it was nonsense to wait, once it's above your cervix it's fine. In fact he said he recommends it for the relaxation, so there's an answer. Despite this, I've waited two days but will be going this afternoon.

BecD - I'm glad I'm not the only one that names them. This month, they are called Alpha and Omega, one the basis that if they both work, it will be the beginning and the end of my IUI career.... geddit? (this really is only weakly amusing and then only if you are either Christian or Greek!!)

AFM - well, nothing really. I've been trying to take it easy. Am almost used to decaf tea. I'm sneaking in lots of vitamins just in case, like extra spinach in my scrambled eggs. It's tedious waiting though. A change from other two cycles is that my three girlfriends now know as does my Mum (the actual dates and so on) and they've all been doing web research and keep coming up with wierdest questions. Mum asked me yesterday about my follicle size. V wierd!!! Do you all have people who know this? I wonder now if it's just adding more pressure. Have you read the things to do in the TWW list on here? I'm planning on doing the last one and outsourcing symptom spotting!

Anyway, sorry for the epic. I hope you are all well and apologies if I've not mentioned you, I am thinking of you all and hoping to see a veritable flood of BFPs in the next couple of weeks - statistically we should get a couple! Imagine the fun telling your parents at Christmas when they've got a mouthful of something
