Just MC and ready to try again? Pack your cake, wine and tightie whities and join us for more ranting, weeping and most of all, laughing. All welcome (Part 6)

urban was he drunk? Who would want to drink it voluntarily, not for a cause?! I think you should do an experiment, and share your answers on here :)

ahem... i am led to believe that fish oil/esential fatty acids increases the level of mucas produced with male ejac, although no of sperm not sure. I think thats where the other critters Zinc and selenium come in. Gettng DH to take supps is hard enuff, without trying to forcefeed gf juice

Do you girls think grapefruit juice helps men to produce better sperm juice??? iykwim.... Just screamed "it's MINE don't touch" didn't really tell him what it's excatly for....!! Better to keep them in the relative darkness?

pussycat taking BVit complex which has all of those in it :)

BATFINK hope the exams go well xxx

PV how are you feeling lovely?

Oh and Nickster Have you tried B12? I take B6 to reduce PMT but I think if this isn't 'THE' cycle then I will add B12 to my list.

Funnily the last time I conceived was the 1st cycle I used B6!

Good evening lovely ladies... Just sticking my head round the corner with a cake tin full of B-day cake and all sorts of other sweet treats...
Jeewizz just took me 2 hrs to catch up, my head is swimming with names and news..... Sorry just no way I can keep up with you guys.
Congrats apple just the best news hugs & kisses... sorry you can't sleep it's crap when your dog tired yet the old mind keeps on wizzing around what about oveltine horlicks sorry can't spell, warm milk a bit of honey ??? Just try & keep those thoughts as happy as possible xx

mummya (((((((hugs))))))) thinking of you....your just the best with all your great advice.. But please listen to it as well...hopefully the massages do the trick xx

wombat ((((((((BIG HUGS))))))))

and hugs to all... I know it's so crap that we are all here but Reading all your posts really helps me, just knowing I'm not crazy, that it's kinda normal ok to have shifty cycles, I'm not the only one not to have told her parents( dh thinks it's weird) or twin sis...that it's just so bloody hard sometimes,
So thank you all for sharing all your thoughts and feelings xx (bit sad tonight)

on a lighter note ordered first batch of poas.... Have temped to get preggers last time but since cycles are not behaving need something else to reassure...!
Btw I have always temped at night!! (I start work at all sorts of times) Seems to have worked ok for me, try to keep routine as much as poss do it at 11pm & try to sit on arse or read in bed for 2-3 hrs before.... I just make a note on ff if things are a bit off.

Hope you all have a lovely rest of week... Back to lurkin!!!!
Hello&hugs to all the new girls your in the BESTplace

Inbetweener Its awful having to see that, I can't understand why they have the maternity ward next to the mc ward. I was exactly the same. xx

Nickster I could be accused of romping around lounge, however not a plastic mouse in sight 39 cycle would give you a luteal phase of 15days if I am right, which is good!

Wombat (((((((()))))))) I know, I really do.

I was in the EPU this afternoon surrounded by couples coming out of the dept opposite looking at their scan pics and being all excited. I was so......sad. felt just stupid sitting there knowing mine was ebbing away into a jumbo size pad !!!

Ah well, tonight im having a very large vodka and then going to bed. Thanks again for welcoming me aboard everyone.

and my last post for the night. Just to say i have finally noticed the difference in my cervix after 3 weeks of checking!!!!! Praise the lord! :)

Jam, velvet wombat ((((HUGS))))

apples mummy abroad is always right!

Hey loola pussycat lady! (my loola has been romping round the lounge all eve chasing a plastic mouse.... have you?!?!

Cycle buddy!!! Be interesting to see if we spot again next month. 39day AF would be about right and maybe all this bloody stressing has not helped! Wouldnt a 39/40 day cycle and a CD23OV give me a short luteal phase?

My slogan is manners cost nothing.....and therefore everyone should be polite without effort!

Oh and velvet not meaning to get your hopes up but when I was pg with ds & dd and also mc I have always have 'offwhite cm' so may be a really good sign!

Hello all,

Sorry I've been a stranger!

What a bunch of chatterboxes you all are, I lurk often but can never keep up!

Mummy So sorry AF still hasn't turned up! Is it Northisterone you've been taking? Would maybe BCP do the trick? I know its soul destroying going on it when its actively doing the opposite of what you want, but may regulate things in long run?

Wombat I could've written that post, sometimes its just overwhelming isn't it

PFFF was it you with the cowbag SIL? sorry can't remember! I was totally & when I read that, did she skive off and miss the bedside manner lecture when she was training?! Unbelievable!

Nickster I'm with you chickadee, we are proper cycle buddies this month! we had the random spotting & supposed oving the other week and now we are both oving late I am wondering if the spotting was a tiny af? I didn't even get red blood but I thought if thats what it was, then it would make it cd12ish which seems about normal. However I always ov late so day 28 isn't odd for me! I went for swabs last Wed after the spotting and really bad back, crampyness so hopefully I will get results tomorrow and know more. I've read somewhere that 40 day cycles are fine and normal and if you've oved on cd23 the latest you would af would be cd39 so its fine x

I think that the 2ww is going to last forever, I managed to get in 3swi over the oving stage, so feeling quite hopeful on one hand, but then worrying that cd 28 is too late to ov?! que sara I suppose

Anyway sorry for not name checking everyone but I have a memory of a fish. Hope everyone's well xx

I feel like you too today wombat. Got a bit emotional in the park about the unfairness of it all again.

But the main reason I wanted to write today just quickly is to send big hugs to mummya. I can imagine how frustrated and at the end of your tether you feel. 14 weeks is a long time, and you've been so great on here, so warm and funny and supportive. You deserve a break. On a practical side, have you tried anything alternative? I'm p*ed off AF is on its way but do see that it's a good thing that my cycle has come down from 6 to about 4 weeks. I think it's partly due to acupuncture and I also went to see a nutritionist and made a few big changes to my diet to try to regulate my cycle, lots of liver cleansing and alkalising (no caffeine, gah ). Anyway, I'm thinking of you all the way over there and hope you're OK x

wombat I'm with you there x

me too Wombat!!!

wombat second that.... longing inside is inbred i think :( (((hugs)))

apples try the lavendar oil in the warm relaxing bath? reading yourself to sleep works for me!

Guys i am really sorry about the ME ME ME posts today. :( it all really just mega pickled my brain and no one else understands..although i did tell my sis this aft that i was OV on day 23 and she kinda pulled her face... just hope the cycle isnt a) too short and b) too long for next time. Absolutely right, i am OV YEAH and thats great post MC, but also want it round again quickly so we can have a proper go :)

Mummy been thinking about my post to you earlier... i was hoping i was sounding re-assuring although i have a feeling i may have sounded not so. I hope you dont think that! I hope you are ok and the consultant can offer you an alternative to prog if indeed you need it :) which hopefully you wont xxx

velvet sorry you have no definitive answers yet :( bloody bodies, do they not realise how much they inconvenience us?!?!

sorry apple I missed your post! Sorry no help on sleeping remedies but maybe hypnotherapy's worth a go? I was getting really badly stressed last month about whether I'd even be able to get pg and then if I did, whether I'd MC again, and I found it really helped.

velvet I too have everything crossed for you matey.

(((wombat))) I hear you. Fingers crossed none of us will have to wait very long

Velvet it's not over 'til it's over. I'm keeping everything crossed for you.

Oh god. I want a baby so badly it actually aches. :(

Hellooo

Not really any news from me apart from pant snot has gone a very subtle shade darker from white to off-white. Am guessing AF is on her way a week bloody late so I too put in lots of SWI effort which will be null and void!

As for the period clots - I always have had huge chunks on the first couple of days.

I'm adopting fanjo too :)

nicks great news you've finally got that positive! frustrating to have DH so far away though... ah well, at least you know you can get a positive! and did you notice how MA was right, again! I swear, you're an oracle sweetie!!!

PFF can't believe what your MIL and SIL said/discussed! Some people really just don't understand do they. think izzy says it perfectly, comparing is just plain stupid! and I'm glad you got a BFN, you know what I mean. I've had a few clotty periods in my life when not on the pill, think it can be just one of those things.

inbetweener glad you got yourself to the doc and she was semi-helpful. Tis a stupid thing to tell you about the age thing now, as surely it's pretty obvious you're doing your best to get pregnant right now! gaaah! doctors can be stupid sometimes.

Totally agree with AandR, you set up some classes and I'll send everyone I know along! You girls have been SUCH a help...more useful and probably less scary than google!

ladybee mmmm... chutney! I think I'm going to have to grow tomatoes next year just so I can make some!

izzy well done on posting on fb, I can't bring myself to do it... I can't decide whether it's because I'm scared too, or whether I just want to keep it to myself.. does that make sense? I dunno....

velvet tuesday is almost Friday... test, test, test! I'm dying for you to get a BFP too!!

Does anyone know any natural sleeping remedies you can take whilst pregnant? I'm having real trouble sleeping, I'm shattered...but as soon as I put my head down I just keep thinking through what happened last time and lie awake for hours, and when I do drift off I just wake up thinking of that horrible horrible scan experience Going to mention it to the doctor tomorrow, but thought I'd ask you ladies first as we all know, one of you will know something about anything!

Uck, extra brazil nuts for no good reason. Uck. That's dedication to the cause! (Maybe try the chocolate coated ones next month ?)

fondant supposedly gf juice upto ov and then pineapple after.... so i did that... although i was inadvertently drinking pineapple before ov!!! Brazil nuts to help implantation too!!
