Navis you can buy concieve plus in boots but it is a lot more money that amazon.

Pipbin · 23/12/2012 13:19

Welcome Neshie.
Brown spotting had stopped

Will be going to see friend tomorrow who was 8 weeks pg after only 2 months of trying last time I saw her. Will have her baby with her this time. Must not cry.

navis176 · 23/12/2012 12:58

Hey! How is everyone today? All ready for xmas? I?m at future-MILs ? and VERY bored

Quod - PGD = pre-genetic diagnosis ? I?ve got a balanced translocation on my chromosomes which is the probable cause of my mcs ? we?re investigating whether or not this would be worth doing ? but it seems like the no of mcs I?ve had are not consistent with the odds for that translocation, so we?re going to make sure there?s nothing else wrong before (potentially) forking out a ton of cash on IVF

Golden/Viv - welcome!! Know what you mean re dtd around ov time ? fortunately my OH, having had it all explained to him, is now v obliging around that time and takes his part of the ?job? very seriously!! Hmm, interested in this pre-seed/conceive lube plus stuff?may have to do some googling ? can you buy it in boots or somewhere? (no time to get online ? off overseas for 4 months right after xmas)

Neshie - welcome!

Good luck to everyone with scans tomorrow!

Navis176, 35, TTC #1, cycle 3 (this time around), bfp due around 19 Jan (I think?)

I have a wonderful mental image there Viv.

More spotting. Brown this time. 10DPO and I get spotting every month.

twinklestar2 · 23/12/2012 11:27

Lol Viv!! Your writing makes me laugh!

viviennewestwould · 23/12/2012 11:27

I'll add myself to the list when I am not upside down...

twinklestar2 · 23/12/2012 11:26

Still not here, on cd35

viviennewestwould · 23/12/2012 11:25

Thanks everyone. Pip, you are so right, which is why I have developed a rather hard attitude to this 'male anxiety issue'. I have no doubt that when I am at my mother's every other weekend he is spunking like a water hydrant. Anyhoo...I am typing this with my hips raised. Yes! We did it! There was smoke coming from his poor beleaguered penis and we were getting nowhere fast so I found some free porn on t'internet and forced him to watch some 'hot teen blonde' whilst I filed my nails moaned encouragement from the pouffé.

Bunnygirlie · 23/12/2012 11:14

Right let's gather the stats for the new fred!

I have just noted those from fred 1 as I can't face reading all 39 pages again lol so please add yourself and your details!

If you are PG maybe put how many weeks you are or due date if you've had your scan?!?

Lol pip I agree!

Welcome Viv :)

Pipbin · 23/12/2012 10:40

Viv men don't make it easy for us do they.
We pee on this, measure that, examine stuff they'd rather not know about and all we need them to do is what they spent their teenage years desperate to do. I understand that for a chap to 'reach a conclusion' when having sex is a purely mechanical exercise, rather than mental like I find it too be. So they can just shut up and get on with it.

Pipbin · 23/12/2012 10:36

Shhh, no more spotting. No loud noises please guys. Don't want to wake the red bitch up.

viviennewestwould · 23/12/2012 09:49

Aaargh! Still waiting for last night's sex! DP's schlong too tender last night - apparently. What if I ovulated in the night? Raaaa.....!!

ZombiesAreClammyDodgers · 23/12/2012 09:42

rache you give good advice. I should "step away now, and no one gets hurt" :)

Rache1S · 23/12/2012 09:07

Step away from the google Zombies, all will be fine Grin

ZombiesAreClammyDodgers · 23/12/2012 08:11

Very worried about mc rates for women with PCOS and trying to not read up too much on the Internet. Apparently it can be as high as 60%.

ZombiesAreClammyDodgers · 23/12/2012 07:58

Welcome vivienne!!
bunny will you be doing the new fred honours? Smile

captainmoll · 23/12/2012 07:30

Hi all, (belated) welcome Vivienne. Bunny glad to hear you're getting some fun in.
I'm on an empty early train heading for last day of work before I get some Christmas going on. Not much to report from me at the mo as I'm off ttc schedule until cyst is dealt with. Booked in for gynaecologist on jan 4th.. Fx they can fix me quick! Also dtd JUST FOR FUN this week! (Sods law I get the BFP this time when I'll be waiting for operation etc Wink).
Happy festivities everyone, big fx for all scans, POASs and OVs.

Bunnygirlie · 22/12/2012 23:34

I'm here I'm here, what have I missed?!?!?!?

Had work do last night so had a few drinkies, needed to let my hair down after another hideous month of FTC (failing to concieve). Hangover not too bad though so been trying to get festive and get the decs out, haven't been feeling very Christmassy what with the lurgy, building work and of course the stress of TTC but not long now so need to try Xmas Smile

viviennewestwould · 22/12/2012 21:41

Hello ladies, I've had a name change (was Golden but the moniker was making me feel old Sad). Thanks, Janey and Quod for sharing your timings. It cheers me to think people are getting pregnant without necessarily having sex exactly at ovulation. The stress of trying to time it perfectly is so counterproductive, I know, but I seem to be obsessed. To be fair, it is my way of trying to take some pressure off DP - if only I could see into the future I might not have to subject him to such a rigorous regime prior to ov!

Very Envy of those who, like Pipbin, will know within days whether they are going to have a baby! Mind you, I'm Envy of all of you young under-40s Wink
