Justpick Keeping my fingers xd for you for Saturday. I hope you won’t need it, but you can apparently read the CBFM sticks by eye, despite what they say. I have been told that if you hold the "wet" end (with cap on, of course!) in your right hand, the first line on the left tests your E2 Estroidal and will get LIGHTER as it rises. I have also heard some people say they think it’s incorrect sometimes. The second line tests your LH and will get darker when this rises and peaks. Also, found some pics on the same thing and general chat: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/a2079580-A-thread-for-anyone-TTC-with-a-ClearBlue-Fertility-Monitor
TheGrinch that must be the best feeling, thinking you were menopausal and actually being pregnant! Have you come down yet? Of course you should stay on here and keep posting. I did and found it really helpful. There might be a 40s preggo thread on MN too. I have a feeling it comes and goes. Don’t take that as a hint that you should bugger off though. I felt really ancient on my antenatal thread and they just didn’t have the info to help with some of the issues I was facing as preggers oldie.
Grizzer sorry, I don’t know your exact age, but there was a survey on getting preggers by Netmums out this week which had some positive stats about pregnancy in your 40s.Maybe it has some stats to help back you up?
Gum thanks for sharing your diet tips. I know you’ve talked about the paleo diet before. Wonder if it’s what they call the caveman diet here? Did you crack and buy your bargain bundle of preggo tests and stuff? I can’t bear to have stuff like that in the house. I will only buy them when I crack, and even then as few and as cheap as possible. You deffo don’t need a CBFM!! You clearly are an expert in tracking your cycle.
Jbrd How was your class? It sounds great. I have a fertility flow yoga DVD somewhere I should dig out.
Way to go Green!! Good luck!! OMG< it is so unbelievably undignified, isn’t it? At The Lister you have to speak to the Embryologist while you are on the couch, which is pumped up to a good height, and you have your legs akimbo – . They point you, fanny forwards toward the hatch, which the embryologist pops out from… Humiliation asides, are you taking Selenium? Helps implantation. Brazil nuts have a good level of them apparently. Sticky vibes.
A friend of mine has recently had a messy breakup and I was amazed by how chilled he was, considering he’d been dumped virtually at the altar. Apart from daily gym visits and having an incredibly saintly diet, he’s also doing a daily meditation via an ipad app. I’m trying to use his success as motivation to change my diet a lot. Is difficult as DH is not keen to drop carbs. He’d probably just laugh at me over the idea of meditating too.
Has anyone taken Inositol? How about Melatonin? I am thinking of adding them to my list of supps. Will do if no success soon. Where do you get Melatonin? It seems loads of TTCers are taking it.
Well, I managed to get DS to sleep before 10/11pm tonight which is a relief as he has been very unsettled recently. And he has finally started eating properly again. He’s gone through a super fussy stage for a couple of months, and yesterday I was dismayed as he really only wanted to eat chips and strawberries, but today, finally, he ate spag with meatballs.. So, time for me to get some rest and keep my strength up as if TTC not successful this month AF will be very nasty I fear.
