Will I ever learn? Just opened fb - to find a scan photo :(. Im working tonight, that hasn't put me in a good mood, plus im wearing the new all Wales uniform for the first time and I feel like it'd strangling me! And I just know I'm going to feel crampy all night. 1 2 3 arrrrrr!!!!!!

that was meant to be collie not chloe sorry.

i did meant to say to chloe did you have a good night on sat? and how's the job going?

cep · 11/04/2011 15:00

chloe there's nothing i can do, don't know who it was. i move sections in 2 weeks anyway sooo. i'm hoping i'll have my scan before the r/wedding weekend as my parents are coming that weekend for the announcement will be gutted if i can't get a scan till afterwards. If i do i may phone up to beg an earlier scan due to the bleeding.

mel i really hope it is a proper af and things get back to normal for you hon.

ifat sorry af got you.

bump lol at the convo mid dtd. Grin great timing bet you could have asked for anything. Grin we're getting odd nights. he woke up again last night wanting to come into our bed again. so we're finally putting the gate back on as the hv suggested, but as dh didn't put it on when i asked him on thursday it'll have to start tonight.

am planning on trying to start slimming world again tomorrow. got to try and lose a bit of weight. i'm not doing exercise just planning on trying to eat healthily and for me that'll lose the weight.

Loup23 · 11/04/2011 14:58

Hi hopeful1 and other 2wws, it's 5dpo and trying really hard not to get on the symptom spotting bandwagon! Have no tests at home and not planning on buying any until AF due so just sitting and waiting (and secretly getting hopes up).

ochaye sorry to hear about your loss, big hugs and glasses of Wine hope you are getting tlc from all those around you.

bump glad to hear DH is ready to try again - Fx its a BFP for you soon.

Waves hello to all others out there and hope this sunshine is bringing positive feelings for everyone!

Must do some work and not obsess about Christmas/New Year baby......!

hopeful1 · 11/04/2011 12:39

Hi All,

Just spent ages catching up and supposed to be working but on 2ww and cant concentrate on anything. I had two inseminations last week and now have period cramps, is that a good or bad sign???? I have a 5 week cycle so period not due for 2 weeks.

Ochaye so sorry for your loss

Mellies Loup and IAFUD sorry about af turning up

Chloe sorry about bfn

Gimme I know its hard not to be jealous, I have got 2 pregnant friends and a pregnant manager which is not great!!

Cep glad brown blood has stopped, if it makes you feel better I bled red blood in my preganacy with dd for 6 weeks and she is the most wonderful 2 year old so it doesnt necessarily mean anything

Loup joining you on the 2ww

Collie2 · 11/04/2011 10:33

lily welcome back sweet. I?m sorry this is the thread you have to come back to but its lovely to hear from you and I?m glad you are feeling like you are in a better place.

wellie sorry AF turned up.

ochaye so sorry for your loss again. Was you 1st mc in Dec? I had mine then too. So sorry you find yourself here again.

thumbwitch so sorry for your losses and that you find yourself here, but welcome to the thread, I?d have been lost without it over the past couple of months.

Chloe sorry about the BFN but fx for you still

ifatfirst sorry about AF

cep I?m [shocked] at your managers, and the fact they are all denying it is even more shocking. Have you thought about what you?ll do?

harassed sorry that you didn?t get many answers at the gp, but its good she?s said she?ll refer you for an early scan next time you are pg. If it was a cp, I think they are most likely to be down to chromosome abnormalities that are detected very early, so it could be that it was nothing to do with you (so to speak) and just really crap luck.

In terms of supplements see here I drank pink grapefruit juice and took evening primrose oil before ov for extra cm. I also took Zinc and selenium throughout to help reduce chance of chromosome deficiencies and to improve fertility. I also took Vit E, mainly for my spots, but its also good for fertility. I also took Flaxseed oil and ate brazil nuts after ov, to improve my lining. And Folic of course. DH was taking Fish oils, selenium and L-Arginine for increase sperm count and improved sperm quality iykwim. I also cut out caffeine completely (I drink organic decaf tea and normal dcaf has lots of chemicals) and I cut down on the alcohol. I still stuffed my face regularly with choc though ? couldn?t give that up!!

Fx for oils

mels so sorry about AF hun. That was a very strange cycle you have had, but fx this is it getting back to normal.

Grin at bump having a chat mid dtd!! Lol Glad you have sorted things out though and you are ttc again.

I?m ok. Had lovely weekend enjoying the sunshine, doing a bit of gardening (well plant post and weeding) yesterday but think I over did it as I needed at nap at 6pm. Grin

Bumpwanted · 11/04/2011 10:05

Morning ladies!

Well, I am officially TTC again! We had a chat mid DTD (I really know how to pick my moments) and he said we should go for it. I think he'd wait a few months in an ideal world but he said in reality it doesn't make much difference. Plus changes of me getting pregnant first time again are slim so I am happy to give it a shot on those terms. I am trying to stay calm about it as I don't want DH to think I am a headcase but I am ridiculously excited. I kept looking at him on the train this morning thinking "oooh we're trying to make a baby" !!

So can I go on the list please!?

Bumpwanted: TTC#1 MMC#1 Cycle 1 UCL29 CD9

Have ordered Clearblue digitals with a smiley face off Amazon so thats Melies and Loup for the advice!

Melies glad to hear the cycle is getting back to normal

Cep thanks for the grapefruit juice advice. How is the sleeping with your little one going

IAFYDS sorry to hear about the AF. Have a glass of vino and a slab of brie to make the most of it while you can. Fingers crossed next month is your month.

Chloe sorry for BFN Sad

ochaye so sorry for your loss. sending you a hug!

Minnie Olis any news?

Fingers crossed for Minnie and Olis!

:( for IAFYDS

Sounds like a tough time Gimme. I had a parvovirus (other name for slapped cheek) scare when I was pg with dd...someone i work with had it and I had to go and have bloods, I was immune and told that most people have had it as a child so you are probably immune too, you can go and see your gp for bloods to check though if you are worried.

I am sorry for your new loss ochaye, how sad :(. Have you asked for any basic tests?

Well...another short 2ww for me, another 20 day cycle (1 day longer than last month though, at this rate in 8 cycles time I'll be back to normal..). This feels more like a normal period though, its crampy and proper blood rather than mucous and gunk, so I'm hoping this is the start of a normal cycle, and a proper clear out so that I can actually ovulate! Ive just ordered 20 digital opks off Amazon, I think I'll start as soon as they arrive. I'm looking on the bright side - or trying to! At least I didn't poas obsessively this month!

Waves to everyone else x

Evening

chloe boo to bfn

ochaye sorry for your loss-hope you're ok

Feeling a bit weird today- should be af but no sign apart from a little cramping. Usually pretty regular too and would be full on feminax by now!. Strange CM (tmi sorry) Don't want to test cos don't really want to see a bfn, thought I might wait a bit and see if af turns up in a couple of days first. Being a bit of a wuss I know! Have no tests either, mind you!

Been searching for wedding venues and everywhere is so expensive. Its second time round for both of us so we don't really want a massive do but even small ones are looking too much. We've decided to give ttc till sept and then book early nxt year if I'm not pg-might be cheaper then!

olismum23 · 10/04/2011 21:00

feeling tired and awful hoping its because something good is happening :). We are not sure how we will manage but hey we will get by somehow.

ochaye sorry to hear of your loss ((hugs))

IAFUDS sorry AF got you :(

chloe sorry for BFN

gimmie minnie thumb cep mellies collie wellies brooke loup and any one i have missed hope you are well

Hi Ladies. AF got me yesterday so now on CD2 :(

cep · 10/04/2011 20:30

gimme fmu is first morning urine. sorry yourdc's have all been ill.
Thankfully (touch wood) he seems to be over the worst, only seems to wake 1-2 a week rather than every night that he was doing before. He woke yesterday cause he needed a poo, did it in his nappy, then came in to me. (dh was in with dss) i decided to let him stay in with me otherwise he'd have run all over the house for the rest of the night. He was really good stayed lying down said something a couple of times but shushed when i said shush, but it took him ages to fall back to sleep, at least an hour, he just couldn't drop off again. I'm sorry you fell apart at work, just remember it is perfectly normal to be all over the place.

if you can get pink grapefruit i'd still get that as well, as it helps cm. (can't quite remember what pomegranate juice does, it helps us in some way and also helps blokes little swimmer so get dh to drink some as well.) where do you live? i used to down a glass of p/grapefruit juice. pineapple juice and pomegranate juice. i swished when i left the house. Grin "i can hear the ocean"

thumbwitch · 10/04/2011 15:15

Ah I love pomegranate juice - maybe I'll try that instead of the grapefruit, I've definitely seen that here! Thanks cep :)

cep · 10/04/2011 15:03

sorry not from concentrate is best.

cep · 10/04/2011 15:03

thumb pink is supposed to be just as good, i had pink. pommegranate juice is supposed to be good as well. not from concentrate.

thumbwitch · 10/04/2011 14:07

Gosh, I didn't know that about the grapefruit and pineapple juices. Anyone know if pink grapefruit juice will do, or does it have to be white? I don't really like white grapefruit but can stomach the pink juice. That's if I can find it - don't recall having seen any here in Oz!

So - sorry to hear you MC'd again, Ochaye - I think I was about week 9 as well, but not sure as my dates were a bit up in the air - was waiting for the dating scan to let me know, but as it turned out by the time that happened I'd had a complete MC so nothing was there. The previous week's scan showed a 5w gestational sac, which didn't fit with my dates at all, and HCG for 4w, which fit even less so I knew then that it was a lost cause and sure enough it all passed later that day. Slightly longer than last time - which was bang on 8w, it was as though I'd just missed a period (but had tested pos so knew I was pg).

Am already on supplements, clean water, cleanest possible food - didn't know about the juices so will get onto that, and also get DH onto supplements as well.

cep · 10/04/2011 10:55

ochaye i left a note on the other thread saying how sorry i was hon to hear your news. i hope you have lots of support in rl.

harassed i read that pineapple juice should only drunk upto ov, because the theory is that p juice helps the womb to contract hence they say drinking a lot helps nearer the due date. (Although i then discovered the amount you need to drink to actually start labour is immense.) but i stopped drinking it when i thought i'd ov'd. see here

chloe sorry about bfn but i hope you had a good night.

ochaye · 10/04/2011 09:53

I hope I've got this right!
