As Jen says we have good laugh on the 2WW thread, and don't worry about where you are in your cycle, we all tend to hang out on there whether we're waiting to Ov, waiting to test or just grumbling about the old af (aunt flo!) turning up again []!
Come on over and say hi, it's always good to have some new 'faces'[]!!!
See you there...........[8D]!
