Mum22 - Serves me right for falling behind! I don't mind a marathon catchup here and there though, it helps that typing is my forte. I too would prefer preseed to eggwhites tho!

Iona - You've made me want gingernut biscuits now... mmmm. Sugary! CONGRATULATIONS on a strong hb!!! I'm so excited for you.

Clairesmummy - It doesn't seem to matter where I move, there's always one of THOSE noisy people. LOL... Live and let live, I suppose. You're lucky to have such privacy! And yes, yay for 8 weeks! Won't be long before I'm at 9. Exciting. I'm not sure what's up with your OPKs, I say just DTD in case, and make sure to keep testing every day. The surge is quite short so if you skip days you might miss it. I think a + OPK is just around the corner for you though.

Kezzy - So not up for starting something with the neighbours. Their dog hardly barks, but they are just annoying in general with their parking wherever they feel like with their 4+ cars in one house. Really not worth a big fight though. I was just irritable that night.. haha. Hope you enjoy your preseed! To answer your question, around O time DP and I only ever did it two-three times max. I think he just has great swimmers, and the OPKs helped us to time it well. Sometimes there was a gap of up to 3 or 4 days between sausage sizzles. Still, it did the trick!

Reet - Ahh, I remember the days of being 56kg. LOL.. I miss those days sometimes. I'm getting rounder by the minute, so it seems! For a good reason though so that's ok with me. As for the neighbours, wouldn't it be funny to superglue their wheely bins shut? Haha.. that's mean though, so I choose to just rise above their annoyingness and ignore them. It is fun to think of amusing pranks to pull though! And yes, my next scan is the nuchal trans. That's on September 2. Can't wait to see a real little bubby growing away in there. I struggle to keep it short and sweet, so much to say to you lovely ladies. I like having lots to read, too.. so I'm trying to set another trend. LOL. Try not to feel down about your bd attempts. You don't have to DTD on the day you O to get pg. Trust me, if that's the only day you missed you're totally in with a shot. Remember how seldom we sizzled the sausage??? Well, I got UTD somehow, so don't panic! The way your DH goes at it, you're fiiiine

Bons - Sorry to hear DS is still unwell. I still think you're in with a good chance this month, since you DTD close to O. I hope this is it for you!

Minnie - It could be any of those things. Or implantation spotting. Mine was very subtle, only a speck here and there when wiping. Hoping for a happy result for you!

AFM, Had a really rough day at work today again. I've typed and re-typed this part over and over again, and all I can say is I'm tired of the injustice. I'm tired of them taking advantage of my good nature. I'm tired of being treated like crap, and then reprimanded because they overload me with other people's work. This is bullying, and I'm OUT. I'm resigning tomorrow. They can shove that in their pipe and smoke it. And if they find it hard to replace the only person who's trained to back up other staff members when they're on leave... TOUGH! That's their poor management, and not my problem. I'm doing this for the sake of this baby. I can't be subjected to this kind of stress any longer, and nothing I say will make them do things any differently. *big sigh*

Hope everyone is well, and sizzling those sausages!!! Oh and wish me luck for tomorrow. It's going to be a bloodbath, and I know I'll be falling on my own blade here, but it's just the way it is. I know it'll be a relief when it's done.
