BFP 2013

Hi auntie, fx for AF no show on Sunday.

Cd7 here so gearing up for shag week. Red's BFP has made me feel so motivated and given me so much hope. It's given me belief again.

Hey everyone not been on for a while have been trying to forget about all things 2ww related so avoided everything lol

red a massive congratulations for you!!!! What fabulous news to come back to!

res have everything crossed that I am physically able to for you come on little beans!!!!

And for everyone here's hoping all the BFP's come at once!!!!

I've had no symptoms at all in reality but my brain is constantly checking for them. Am now 9dpo and since ov I have pulled a muscle in my waist, had food poisoning, taken part in a show and been to an awards ceremony in full on posh frock which is my idea of hell hahahaha. I'm not the girliest of people lol I avoid showing leg if I can help it hahahaha. I haven't had a spot of alcohol at all and have driven to all my events so when af arrives will feel hard done to because of that as well lol. Af is due Sunday and have been feeling bloated since Saturday just gone. Had really swollen feet and ankles yesterday probably because it was warm. Managed to sunburn myself yesterday too despite wearing factor 50!!!! Clearly I should remain the milky white/slightly blue colour that I have always been lol.

How is everyone feeling/doing?

Xxx

Aw thx kiwi, I so hope it's me next too! We are doing all the right things, esp my husband who has given up drinking completely to improve his sperm morphology so fingers crossed we aren't waiting much longer :)

Hey winkle- doing good thanks. 34 weeks and so far so good. Keep dropping by every now and again to see how u all are. Am so hoping it is you next.

Thanks winkle and red. DP is up for taking anything that might help things along so I'll get some tomorrow.

Yes ads fingers crossed its not early AF but the good kind of bleed

thingy ditto what winkle said. I ordered ours from Amazon. They seem to do a good deal at the time. They are said to improve sperm morphology and quality.

Hi thingy I can answer that :) The tablets are called pycegenol and you get then from holland and Barrett. They are good for sperm morphology.

Sorry to bother you with questions red but I was wondering about pine bark extract. There is some in the wellman tablets did your DH take extra and what sort of dosage?

Well adsum a week early spotting af? < see reds earlier posts >
Glad you had a good holl's with lots of lovin anyway

Thanks ads dulcet and kiwi

Hope you are doing well kiwi it feels like ages.

Oh and I forgot to say big fx for you res! I missed the lead up to it all so can't believe how quickly it is that you're in the special 2ww already!!

Woohoo red massive congrats! That's great! And fx for a sticky one from me too!

Just back from holidays and glad to hear some good news!! Was so hoping this would be our month after some holiday shagging but already got cramps and pre-af spotting so feeling a bit sad today AF not due til Friday either so a whole week of depression before cd1 arrives! No! I'm not going to be depressed I've decided! So there !

Hey kiwi, long time no see how are you?

Dulcet, the grapefruit juice helps with EWCM.

Delurking to say- freaking awesome news red. Chuffed as chips for u.
Wishing sticky bean thougjts for u and res.

Unmumsnetty love to everyone else on the thread.

Congrats red! Fab news! The wine shouldn't matter, sure I read that baby doesn't even share blood supply for about 5 weeks or something. Shouldn't affect it.

What's the grapefruit thing? Think I've missed that one...

Thx red!

Thanks when!

winkle it was 2% in nov and went up to 5% in feb thanks to vitamin C(2000mg) and Wellman supplements, zinc and selenium and loose briefs. We then added in pine bark to the concoction.

Quick delurk.

red I'm so pleased for you, good to see you on the grads thread.

res I'm so excited and nervous for you. Thank you so much for letting us all know how your ivf is going. It goes without saying that I have everything crossed I can cross for you.

Still thinking of all you guys and wishing you the very best.

Red - one more question!! What numbers did your OH's morph go from and to? I'm sure you've told me before... :)

OMG! Red CONGRATS!!!
I thought the idea of AF a whole week early didn't sound right!
Yay!
And really don't worry about the wine; like others, I got very drunk just shy of 5 weeks (hadn't tested as not in full on TTC mode) and it did no harm. But I have a theory - I got that drunk on less alcohol than it would have taken usually and I think it was my body's way of saying no more.
This is great. Not sure we've had a BFP since Alex and before hers, it was Jan 1st.
You are going to LOVE it.

Red - you need to post on the fertility statue thread that you got your BFP!

Re conceive plus, I don't need it - do you think I should start using it?

You're BFP is making me very excited as its 3 months this month that my hub has been taking the pine bark extract (as well as not drinking).

Will def be getting the grapefruit juice!

And yes of course you are welcome to stay, and hopefully we'll be following you into the grads thread v soon!

Thanks thingy! kerry it's been 12 months of ttc - felt like 18 though.

Disclaimer: I have used conceive plus 8 cycles in a row before but only this one worked.

I think the grapefruit juice might have done the trick or like you say kerry it might just be our time. It's not sunk in yet. Do you guys mind if I stick around / lurk?

I've been mulling over the idea of buying conceive plus or something similar but didn't bother as I don't think I need it but I'm definitely giving it a go now.
Thanks red Hope you and your dh have a lovely bank holiday and enjoy every second of this.
