Hi Lovelies,

Salt - you are such a lovely woman. Connecting with everyone here, despite being a bit low and blah blah blah at CD6. Thanks for your kindness. I'm 7 dpo now, and you are right - it seems to take forever. I'm minding my friends 3 kids for two nights, as well as my own two - so 5 kids under 10 years is keeping me busy - never done so much cooking!! It's heaps of fun though. Wishing you a BFP this cycle, another week or so and you will O again, and off goes the roller coaster ride again, this time to the destination you want huh!!

Bun - Well I'm only 7dpo, so no point testing yet. I really want to wait until AF is a few days late this cycle, no point getting disappointed over an early BFN. Interesting you say your skin has broken out. Yesterday, I had a BFZ (lol - my new acronym - big fat zit!!) turn up on my chin, and my face seems a bit blotchy. I'm kind of assuming it could be AF symptoms. Is a skin outbreak an indicator (potentially) of pregnancy? My BBs are a tiny bit tender. With my last pg, I conceived overseas (on hols in France) and was staying pretty remote and couldn't test until I got back to Australia - which was 2 weeks after my missed AF!! Hence to say I got a very very strong double line on the HPT. At this same time, my BBs were not just sore, they were pretty painful! So much so that I had to wear a bra to bed and it hurt to roll on them! So, I guess in my history, the really strong true preggers symptoms did not appear until 2 weeks after the missed period, then the morning sickness also hit with a vengance. Right now I'm actually looking forward to morning sickness, bring it on I say!! So, to answer your question, I have to wait another week (if AF doesn't show meantime) before testing. Sigh sigh sigh..... Can't wait to hear how you go at the clinic!

Sharon - 3 days BD before O - still got a fighting chance!!

Pash - Excited for you - and praying the wicked AF stays away, and a beautiful fertilized egg stays instead!! Fingers crossed for you!

Satya - how are you feeling, you are a day or two ahead of me past Oing. I seemed to O later this cycle. How are your symptoms - I detect an air of calmness around you this cycle, you are more relaxed - when do you think you will test?????????????????????

Las - great you O'd!!!!!!! Fingers crossed for you this cycle too!

Well - not much more to report here - just stuck in the abyss of the 2WW, and trying not to physco-analyse every little thing

Love to all,

Lee xo
