April, genni, Surrey I so hope we don't have to go down the assisted route this Autumn, but if we have to, it will be nice to have the company on that particular journey. I hope SI works for us Surrey but so sorry about DH's results.

Willing your thrush to bugger off Treacle

Cheering on Blue's ovaries Grin

TMI alert Blush Forgot to use a panty liner this morning-hate it when you get that jizz 'dribble'!

gennibugs · 04/08/2014 14:39

Oh also - not sure if you already knew this but thrush and diabetes are often related! I was tested multiple times during my thrush hell!

cinnamongreyhound · 04/08/2014 14:21

Sorry to hear the thrush is back, wine and white carbs don't help at all :( is the diabetes something you're recently worried about or just one of those we should check just in case things?

Marking my spot so I can keep an eye on you :)

Hello! Thanks lucie for chasing me up....MaMaPo no need to feel lonely - I'll be joining you. AF came yesterday...this is when I find temping so valuable as I could see my temps falling so I knew she was on her way. Still felt a twat for seeing imaginary lines on tests and uploading to site so I could invert, writing my BFP post here for you all in my head etc etc - I had such great symptoms Sad

I fibbed to the Dr about how long we had been trying, my bloods were fine but DH's sperm test was awful (normal forms 0%!!) but it does say that the sample was tested over an hour from when it was produced. I have no idea why as we raced it there and they had half an hour to test it. He's switched to loose boxers and is now sleeping in the spare room as DD keeps coming into our bed. Figured out when we conceived last time he had been off work for 6 months, was tanned and well rested so maybe he has always had an issue and we were lucky or maybe it is a one off. Getting tested again next week. Once that is done we can get referred.

In the meantime I am trying SI again (days 2 - 6) and am currently bidding on an CBFM. Also ordered Maca for both of us to take. Onwards and upwards eh....really didn't think I'd see cycle 8.

Congrats to Brixton and I hope the rest of you get your BFP's! I might squeeze on at the back, it depends if Soy brings my ovulation forwards.

xBlueberry88x · 04/08/2014 14:13

Oh my god ive been checking in on the bus and not even realizing it was full and wondering where everyone was lol (blonde).

Treacle Sorry your still suffering how annoying.

MaMa Glad you get another go at this bus.

Seems like theres a few symptoms for a few people fx they all turn out to be BFPS.

Had my last (hopefully) day 21 test today hoping the doc will be happy with my bodies attempt at ovulation.

7dpo today fuzzy eyed migraine today and lotsa creamy cm for the last 2 days.

Treaclepie19 · 04/08/2014 14:09

Thanks kitty, definitely not passing it back and forth as no dtd with the pain I've been in. I am making sure he uses the cream too.
Just hope it goes away!!!

Sad the dragon is gone :(

gennibugs · 04/08/2014 14:09

treacle you have my sympathies. I had recurrent thrush for about a year - ended up seeing a specialist as it just wouldn't frick off. It's horrible. Deffo get DH slapping that cream on and he can also take the tablet too. Avoid baths if you can too.

kitty and april I think I'm in similar position to you both. I'm 33 and we are going to go for tests in September as that will be cycle 10 for me if no luck in August. I know they say wait a year and that some might say 10 months is nothing but I just need peace of mind. and if there is an issue - well id rather know now.If I have to, I'll tell a little lie. technically we've been trying over a year because we didn't use contraception for a while before "properly" trying anyway. I'm also thinking of paying as my GP is just hopeless!

KittyVonCatsington · 04/08/2014 13:46

Still have the bike and tennis ball though Hmm

KittyVonCatsington · 04/08/2014 13:45

Oh bugger, the dragon's gone already-I feel bereft!! Grin

KittyVonCatsington · 04/08/2014 13:44

Welcome ohlordy!

Oh, Treacle Poor you! Sorry if this is patronising but has DH also been treated for thrush and following through with the treatment without DTD? You could both be passing it back and forth Sad
I had thrush for about 6 months at uni due to strong antibiotics from a kidney infection. I reduced refined sugar and yeast from my diet and had live yoghurt daily, along with Caneston. Still took some time to disappear though.

Lots of Dragon luck for those in the TWW-sounds like some BFPs are on their way!

April I think in September/October, I'm going to get the NHS ball rolling as that will have been 10/11 months ttc with fewer "cycle chances" and i'm sure a minor fib of the odd month out of 12 is allowed at my age!
Hopefully, my super long cycle just gone will help my case at least...
I hope neither of us needs to do that though.

Treaclepie19 · 04/08/2014 12:16

Thank you ladies. I will try and stay away from everything bad :)
Keeping my mind off it all by doing lots of jobs. So far have made many phone calls that have been waiting, hoovered and cleaned the car, sorted someone to come and repair the damage to my car after someone scratched her. Now I'm off out in the garden again.

Phryn · 04/08/2014 11:14

No news here. On CD 35, but I had a 42 day cycle a few cycles ago so I'm still waiting... Lots to distract me this week on kids camp which helps. Packed for all eventualities so have pregnancy tests in case I can't find the urge to POAS and a CBFM fresh(ish) off ebay to use if AF turns up Wink !

Sorry mama and grand. Hope you can enjoy a glass of your fave tipple or nice rare steak (or veggie equivalent!)

Fairey86 · 04/08/2014 11:02

AF due 10/08/14

Trying hard not to symptom spot but have experienced nausea, constipation, my boobs have grown a cup size and, upon feeling wet this morning (I started a thread regarding this so tmi) I had a lot of snotty looking mucas (only way I can describe it)

Keeping everything crossed! Baby dust to you all xx

Aprilray · 04/08/2014 10:56

Morning ladies,
Thanks for the new thread MrsE!
Kitty great to have you back Smile sorry to hear that you had an awful AF though. I think I'm going to do one more cycle before tests. Found a clinic in Farringdon which is where my DH went for tests so think I would go there.
GrandHighWitch really sorry to hear that AF arrived, but yay for another shot at August.

I think I am around 5ishDPO, however unless I had a super duper egg which lasted longer than 24 hours I don't think we are in with a chance this cycle so I will mostly be cheering you ladies on - go Dragon Dragon !!!!!!

ohlordyplordy · 04/08/2014 10:53

I'd like to hop on the bus please.
I'm 33 and ttc #1 since coming off the pill in July.
This is cd3 of cycle 2.
Sad that af arrived but also relieved to have a 28 day cycle afrer so long on the pill.
I'm taking sanatogen mum to be vitamins and tracking using the ovia website.

Sunshinesaz86 · 04/08/2014 10:50

Thanks treacle!! Nearly there!! Sorry to hear your still suffering with thrush and even worse it's interfering with DTD!! Hope it clears soon for u!

That's rubbish sunbathingcat I agree to do as much DTD as possible, if only we could just keep it in a pot for times like that!

Blueskygirl30 · 04/08/2014 10:45

Oh my gosh, I've been trying to not think about TTC too much this month and just DTD when we can (although planning to DTD more around when I'm due to ovulate if possible). As such I hadn't looked on this thread for about 5 days...just spent 90minutes catching up with everyone!

Sorry for the AFs and BFNs so far, fx for plenty more soon!

Lucieloo your kitten is gorgeous

Treacle sorry about your thrush, I hope it goes away fast. I second the avoidance of high yeast produce.

Sunbathingcat I hope you manage to fit in some DTD before and after your DH is away! maybe you'll ovulate earlier or later and it will work out. Fx!

Good luck to every POAS in the next few days! I'm going to go and sit at the back of the bus again, on CD9 today and really trying to not spend too much time obsessing about TTC this month.

MrsExtraOrdinary · 04/08/2014 10:44

Oh you poor love, stick to red wine! Chardonnay is the worst for thrush! Wink And if having a pizza binge, have the thin crust without mushrooms, lol

I've had it months at a time myself, the hot weather won't be helping. Sanex is the best thing to wash with. 100% fragrance free. I can't use lube as it gives me thrush. Baby oil is the worst!

Hope it clears soon and you're feeling more comfortable. And slap canestan on dh every time he passes by. Men are notoriously rubbish at putting the cream on regularly. Last thing you want is for him to pass it back to you. Angry

Thanks sunbathing :)

Oh no :( lots of dtd before and after he goes away!

Treaclepie19 · 04/08/2014 10:38

Yeah MrsE :(
I've got to say I thought it had gone and Thursday went out and drank more than any self respecting human being should. Then had pizza. Probably didn't help...
I'll try and be really careful this week and hope it goes away.

Treacle you poor thing. Have you tried probiotics yet? Also cut out white bread, mushrooms, white wine. Anything with high yeast content. Too much pizza gives me thrush! Blush How weird is that!

Treaclepie19 · 04/08/2014 10:31

Ladies I need a moan. Stupid thrush still hasn't gone away so now I'm on my 3rd treatment :(
Really hoping I'm not pregnant as you shouldnt have the tablet if you are. Very doubtful that I am anyway due to not dtd because of the thrush!
Every week of my holiday I've been to the doctors. Also going next week for a blood test for diabetes :(

Annndddd breathe.
Enjoy shopping sunshine :)

kitty purple pee would be very helpful!

Sunshinesaz86 · 04/08/2014 10:22

Morning ladies, good luck to all close to POAS, and thanks for the advice re conceive plus! Got some on order for next cycle! Currently on 5dpo (accordingly to FF and my +opk on the 11th) absolutely no symptoms here which is fine as I'm not driving myself mad!

Off to Trafford centre currently to go holiday shopping, great distraction from googling everything ttc!

FX mrse, crap about your car spinning and missing your reflexology sesh hopefully you'll be lucky this month! Plenty of time to get some spermies up there gennibugs get DTD!!

KittyVonCatsington · 04/08/2014 10:15
Wink Not sure if this is related to the Soy Iso but the past two days, I have been really really horny Blush Ever since coming off the Pill last November, I have DTD lots to conceive but not really been instigating it otherwise, IYSWIM! Wondering if my out of whack hormones were suppressing my libido...
