Oops! That post was obvs for MrBsMrs! Not MissMrs!!

MissMrs, with regards to exercise I think just go with what feels comfortable to you. Don't over do it. But being for and healthy can only be a positive in my eyes.
Although my reflexologist yesterday told me to avoid doing too many ab crunches that involve me lying on my back, as the scarum (lowest part of back) is directly linked to your uterus. Interesting. Lots of plank type exercise for me now then!

¡buenos días Ladies

kitty lool.... no worries, I too am a skim reading culprit. Feel free to update stats whenever you want. I just dont want to bombard us all, everyday..... SO maybe I'll do it on the even days of the month..hmmmm

Congratulations allthequeens Please stay with us and share anything that you have done this month that you think may have helped with your BFP. Infact, can all the BFP ladies give me us a few tips on what they think may have helped this month

Welcome Zermatt, when is your BFP due, so we can add you to the stats.
Jones I think I may have lost the plot.... I defo saw a post from you but i cant find it in order to update the rollcall.

Kurama so sorry to hear about your hectic night at A&E. I'd say get some rest and like English said, maybe our had multiple eggs released

Lemon I'm no expert, I would say defo get to the GP.

I tried out the Conceive Plus yesterday even though I'm 10dpo and it seemed ok.

Has anyone got any advise on exercise and ttc? I used to get alot of exercise done, but when DH and I first thought about ttc,mid last year (only started counting cycles this year) I slowed down came to an absolute halt . I've put on a fair amount of weight now and haven't got my bundle of joy to blame it on just yet.... so I've decided that I cant stop keeping fit because I'm ttc and have hit the gym fairly hard over the last 3 weeks.
As foolish as it probably sounds, I was scared that if I did get pg and ran/cycled/stepped before implantation, that the bean wouldn't stick obv from the running/cycling/stepping motion

I'm no Usain Bolt/Jessica Ennis/Mo Farah, but I'll probably go back to working out 4-5 times a week. Any advice on times when I should/shouldn't exercise, how much is safe etc would be useful and for the ladies who have dc or have just had their BFPs, do you/did you exercise often?

I am so sorry for the length of this post

Kurama I hope you are ok, let us know how your scan goes x

Hello all I joined this bus back in Feb my stats are on but I've been quiet trying to make the month go faster and deal with busy RL. Just wondering if anyone is planning to poas this weekend? my Bfp is due on the 9th.. I always like a poas buddy!

Retro try not to feel too down about not dtd for 2 days, I think the little swimmers can survive for about 4 days so you should still be covered

Kurama I really hope the scan goes well today. I'm so sorry you're in so much pain.

Good luck today kurama.

Congratulations lemon and queenie

I poas this morning and got a bfn. Think I'm 10dpo so will continue to poas until af arrives at the end of the week!

cth, I just feel so silly! I'm welling up for no reason. I dread to think what I'll be like when I actually get pg!

kurama, that sounds awful. I hope it works out the way you want though! Is the pain easing at all? X

Hi Retro - been feeling really down this week as well - not sure if ovulation is coming or not but could happily sit and cry.

Coming on this board really helps cheer me up though as so many BFP's give me hope that mine might be coming soon and you ladies are great fun and really do make me laugh. I don't really have anybody in RL to talk to this about so this really helps a lot!

I'm going in for a scan today to confirm what's wrong. Pain still no better. almost passed out getting up to go to toilet this morn. It would be great if it worked in my favour I would love twins! we only missed ov day. dtd 3 days before and 2 days after before this kicked in... spent 6 hours in a+e last night they wanted me to stay in but all I wanted was to sleep in my bed with dh and cats. plus all my meds were at home lol. Thanks for all your support

anyone else have the unexpected side-effect of leaky eyes?

We got some good news last night, that will involve pretty big upheavals and decisions. I should have been over the moon and had celebratory sex. What I actually did was felt totally overwhelmed, got really grumpy so I wouldn't cry and picked a fight with DH. I'm so pissed off with myself. CD 12 and we haven't DTD for two days

Now I'm spending today agonising about it.

Did someone mention giving up sweetners? Oh god please say its not true I can't do tea without my sweetner rush!!

My almost daily since ov cramps continued last night, it was a bit stronger. Don't want to get my hopes up...I'm 9dpo today which might have been implantation? Or not!

I'd feel more confident if we had DTD a lot but due to illness & night shift, we might have just caught it. Has anyone had this before? X

linda sorry about your bfn. enjoy your night out guilt free - unless your bfp comes along before that! :)

Morning all.

hope we are all well - kurama hope all is okay.

sarara yes - thank you for remembering! hopefully they'll take me seriously.

cd3 here so just waiting for cd7 so I can start using my opks.

Thanks lindamagoo. :)

Sorry to hear about all your pain karuma
welcome zermat
fx for next time toots

I just told my dp that I was thinking about going to the doctors for help. He asked why so I explained that we had been trying for a year and that after age 35 (I'm 38) it is what is suggested. I was greeted by absolute silence. He didn't say a word and just carried on with what he was doing. Oh well. At least the thought has been put in his head for future discussuons. Men!!!

Lemon I had quite a bit of bleeding with ds1 early on, got a scan at around 7 wks and it was a cyst which went away by itself causing no problems then a bleed at around 24 wks which terrified me and it was only a urine infection, very common for bleeding in pregnancy but go see your gp for advice, fx all is well x

Kurama that's rubbish news - hope the pain eases up soon and dp is looking after you.

I tested again this morning and a clear bfp so seems positive but concerned about the bleeding so will make gp app to see if all ok and try not to get too excited in the meantime.

englishgirlabroad the herb is called Dong Quai and here is a bit about it

bodyecology.com/articles/nine_benefits_of_dong_quai.php

Its apparently good for balancing female reproductive hormones. Like I said the tea tastes rank (its a mix of about 10 different chinese herbs), but if someone told me that covering myself in marmite and dtd in front of a portrait of the queen mother while listening to the wombles theme tune would help me conceive at the moment I'd probably consider giving it a bash :)

Sorry to hear of you BFN Lindamagoo hope you have a great night out, lots of nice drinks and relax.

Treaclepie I'm on cd12 as well, exciting to get a smiley - go forth a dtd and good luck!

Thanks SaRaRa, I won't be upset if this isn't my month as it's my first month off the pill and we didn't really try, after next af though my oh is in for a dtd shock, lol. But like the dedicated POAS addict that I am I'll keep testing until af shows up

Thanks english and rambini
Yes im just glad my body is doing something and im just hoping it was a random cycle and back to 30ish days now :)

Morning all. I don't use opks, so my estimate of ovulation is fairly rough, but I knew it was sometime this week and DH has been really poorly all week so this morning I may have woken him up and pounced slightly
But he took it like a trooper so I am feeling a bit happier this morning lol, even if I do also feel like a bit of a meany!!!
kurama sorry ur feeling poorly, but lets hope if it is overstimulation that it works in your favour
toots although obviously not the preferred outcome, at least there has been an outcome! Now you can pom pom wave and fx for this cycle.
Fx for a lovely 2nd day back missmrs

Sorry linda, you never know though... Your night out sounds like fun if this isn't your month xx

Genni, I think you have your appointment today? Good luck!

kurama hope you are feeling a bit better this morning and the pain is easing.

Welcome Zermatt!
