    In a way, and yes you can call me a freak if you like, I wouldnt mind having all those bloods. Although its easy for me to say as needles dont bother me, and I am thinking that at least it gives you something to focus on rather than just sitting around waiting and hoping iykwim. You will be a pin cushion but hopefully a pregnant pin cushion by the months end I wasnt planning on using OPKs this month, they have I guess worked in previous months but last month it gave me all negative and I stressed about it and then got the BT done which said I had Od so I wonder if its better to do what you said and pretty much (I love that one, hehe) every couple of days through the month - wont DH be in his element - and every day for the 4-5 days surrounding O time. Not much else I can do really.

    It might make you feel good to catch up with some of your work friends. If you dont want to go back into work can you arrange to meet them all for a coffee at lunch time or after work? I remember I was having panic attacks in the night before I was due to go into work again, but it didnt end up being so bad and everyone was really good about it all. In saying all that, if it gets to Monday afternoon and you change your mind I am sure everyone will understand.

    Good on you for doing some things that make you feel good, not really sure how the dentist fits in there (LOL) but everything else sounds great. I have a voucher that my mum gave me at my baby shower to have a massage but I cant bring myself to go get it, just knowing it was meant to be after I had my baby makes me feel weird about going.

    I hope you have a nice Friday night... we are off to buy a mobile phone cause mine died today Lucky I have a company so the company will now be a mobile phone richer.

    Take care,

    Mel

    I know what you mean Mel. I guess I am looking forward to actually "doing" something and focusing on something. This is your month I just know it! You just need to heaps ( I love that one too so had to use it again - he he)

    I know what you mean about using your voucher but I think you should. You deserve to pamper yourself and it may help you to relax as well.

    I hope you get a nice new phone. I never get a new phone - just a hand-me-down from DH

    Ok everyone I have a question to ask and it may be silly but I just don't know how I feel about it or what to do - I have a dinner to go to for DH's work. It is lounge suit and I have a black dress that I wore when I was pg and to Cooper's funeral. It is that baby-doll style, so it is fitted around the (.)(.) and then drops (hence why I could fit into while being pg and after giving birth). It isn't a maternity dress, anyway, i haven't tried it on or anything yet so I don't even know if it will fit properly but I just don't know if I can wear it again after wearing it to Cooper's funeral. I know it is a good excuse to go shopping a buy a new dress but I really don't want to spend any money because with me not working and the cost of the fertility specialist etc etc. Any thoughts???????

    Hey gals

    I will try to catch up on all your posts and do some decent personals later but I just wanted to say two things.

    Lynn: About your dress, I think that if you feel ok with it, you should wear it. Just because you wore it to Cooper's funeral doesn't mean that it should be a sad dress IYKWIM. Perhaps buy a new shoes or bag to wear with it. I am sure Cooper wants mummy to look as gorgeous as she does in that dress.

    Mel: I don't want to go putting crazy ideas in your head, but have you done a HPT? The only reason I ask is that you are generally so regular and it sounds like implantation bleeding. I could be completely wrong, but it can't hurt to test.

    Be back later.

    Luv Spring
