He said that everything seems to be working as it should be and to keep doing the baby dance for another 2/3 months. If nothing has happened by then to get in touch and we'll take next steps but so far he can't see why reason it shouldn't.
No sign of my period yet either.
That's great Penny, just goes to show the importance of getting the "day 21" test done on the right day. Hopefully this is your month anyway, good luck

Ah cheers! Due date (can't believe I'm writing those words here) is 31st Aug/01 Sept depending on who you ask.
Neyite thanks for the feedback, you'd almost sway me to have an early one! Will have a think about it over the next few days.Each scan is a day off work &flights over and back as well so that's something to consider as well.
Penny, you must be delighted with that high prog result! Very positive newsTomeeTipee wrote: »That's great Penny, just goes to show the importance of getting the "day 21" test done on the right day. Hopefully this is your month anyway, good luck
Thanks girls. Boobs still killing me and no period yet. Trying not to hope too much. It's proving very difficult to hold off from testing until Monday.0 -

Only thing about changing job is if you're planning a pregnancy, now mightn't be the best time to change job as you'll have to work a 6 month probation period in the new job, what if you get pregnant and are showing before it's up, will they still keep you on? (maybe they have to actually...)
Re: timing, I think the most important days to dtd are (in order of importance):
1. The day after the day that you get the solid smiley face. That is the first day that you get an empty circle after having gotten a solid smiley face the day before. This is as close to ovulation as you can get without risking that ovulation is already gone past.
2. The day you get the solid smiley face
3. Any days you get the flashing smiley face.
If I had to chose between dtd on 1. or 2 above, I'd skip 2 and dtd on 1. I think that gives a higher chance of success than the other way around!
Dtd 4 or 5 days before peak is grand, but if you run out of steam by the time it gets to the day of ovulation it could be a false ecomony. So if I had to prioritise I would not waste too much energy on the days at the start of the flashing smiley face period and focus on the first day of the empty circle instead. That day (1 above) is far more important than a few days before IMHO. The closer to ovulation that the sex occurs, the higher chance of success. Just my two'pence worth, don't know if anyone else that has been successful with opks agrees?
You could spend your whole life waiting to get pregnant and not do anything.
The way I'm looking at this is that my current work situation is proving very difficult to be in and very negative and draining. Lots of bad energy around and so it won't do me and my TTC chances any good either. If I get a new job and I fall pregnant well then I'll just deal with that as it happens.
With regard to them not keeping you on because you fall pregnant that would be discrimination of the highest order and totally unacceptable. Court cases all round then I'd imagine.
Your suggestions re: timing of doing the deed are interesting and well worth taking into account.
