Good morning one and all!

LM - what you said about food makes sense. Hmmm will have to think more along your lines. sounds like you're having a blast in Sydney. Yes, us Poms are a bit obvious to spot.....Lobster on da beach! I've given my labby girl an extra rub as she lies at/on my feet for you, seeing as yours isn't with you. As for your 22 bullets of nipples, my nipples get very sensitive...brushing the towel against them OOWWWW!, so I'd say it's a good sign. Again, symptoms will manisfest them in different ways every time we get a shot at the money slot (so to speak) I got really itchy legs the other day...no explanation...I wondered if it was the Crinone gel ...not that it goes anywhere near my legs sadly...that'd be more pleasant probably!

Murraycod - lovin' your work on the lack of cooking! Genius! Remember to take it easy with that housework. I'm doing things...slowly and not the manic way I often attack everything to get it done and dusted (pardon pun)

Coral - by the time I got to your 'so I bought a packet of 3 POAS tests' I was smiling! We go from self control to the point of smugness to full flow mad woman sitting on the floor with 11 pee sticks spread around her from various manufacturers squinting and comparing them.

I really don't know how long Ovidrel stays in system..but you said it was 14 days from taking it, it seems such a long time...but I really can't answer for sure. I'm sure someone on here will have an answer from their fs. Your test is 2 days before mine...it's getting close m'dear. These last few days are when I swing more and more from +ve to -ve and back again. Here's a sprig of clover for you

Starbright - hope you're having a nice time away. Catch up with your news (no more squeezing!) later.

AFM - well, I babysat last night and the girls 8 and 9 decided to watch up...DH hadn't seen it and so we watched the first 10 min and as I posted previously it makes very obvious reference to not being able to have a family...I had to walk out to 'get some water', thought I'd be ok, but just too much even the second time. It's silly I know, it's a kids animation, but...
Anyway, I had a couple of moments where when the youngest girl was asleep and I checked on her, I just started to well up. I've always told her mum I'm fine babysitting cos they're older, but it got to me a couple of times last night, but I kept it in check.

Have noticed I'm pretty tired....similar to that of last cycle, but could very probably be the crinone, so attempting to not focus on it. Haven't had any stirrings the last 24 hours...and the splodge would be into its 11th day today so wonder if the minor stirrings and couple of sharp stabs were implantation. At the end of the day...WHO KNOWS?!!!

Wish me luck, I've got the 'non-babyshower' babyshower. I'm gonna try and be strong, but after last night.... I think out of 6 there's 2 of us without babies. Have a good sunday, sorry for long post.x
