Well I reckon get another session in now, they say it's only necessary to replenish if there's an issue with quality or quantity.
You only need the one :09

FlourishingMrs · 19/09/2015 08:29

Well done Xxbec, that's the spirit, it will stick this time, I like your proactive approach, no doubt the scan will be good reassurance. Positive OPK here. dtd last night, not sure if I should jump do this morning or let him replenish. Will tomorrow morning be too late. Internet cheapie was positive last night 9pm and clear blue digital this morning.

Hey ladies how is everyone doing?
I'm taking a new tack, I'm trying being positive lol
I spoke to my mum and told her about my worries etc and she told me to trust my body and to try to enjoy each day regardless of what the future holds so that's what I'm trying!!
I went out today and bought a couple of lovely pink and blue bits as a sign to the universe that I have faith this baby will stick and be in my arms all healthy and squishy one day lol
I booked myself a private scan for early October so fingers crossed Smile

FlourishingMrs · 15/09/2015 23:12

Go on and temp Reni, you got to feel in charge, CD15 and still on flashing smiley, CM not so strechy...

I love a good rib eye steak Xxx

Cd4 and not started temping yet... maybe next month. I tend to ovulate on cd9-11, possibly too late to start tomorrow. The temping gives me a feeling of doing something, almost as if temping in itself will help conception. Need to get a grip urgently.

XxbecquixX · 15/09/2015 16:35

That's sounds good flourishing make sure to let me know how the stork works out!
I feel so ill I don't know if this is a bug or morning sickness but I feel like dog poo!
I tried to eat a bit of lovely rib eye beef, it cost fortunes and it tasted like cow with mud on it hoofs lol (best way to describe it!!)
I've never felt this way before, possibly as I'm a bit older now?
Gawd knows why, I have barely eaten a morsel in days :0(

FlourishingMrs · 14/09/2015 23:12

Sounds like a good plan

OP posts:
reni2 · 13/09/2015 22:26

No OPKs, flourishing. At it like rabbits until a couple of days after temperature rises is the plan.

FlourishingMrs · 13/09/2015 21:14

Oh Really, I am glad you are keeping some humour with it all. Yes X Doggy it is this week. I did order the stork thing in time. Not sure DP will like it. He is very atheletic with a good sense of direction. so in Really's logic .... It must be my ageing eggs and Mirena.

Reni will you use OPK this month? I think I should try the Vit B6

OP posts:
ReallyNotAMorningPerson · 13/09/2015 15:13

That's good to hear reni. That's a good idea - maybe get him on the vits for 3 months and see if they will check again.

Once we got over the shock we tried to see the 'funny' side... DH is very laid back and also has a poor sense of direction. Quite fitting really that his swimmers are the same!

reni2 · 13/09/2015 15:03

No, I didn't see that, really, are you going to do another check soon? Motility can change quite a bit I believe.

XxbecquixX · 13/09/2015 14:53

Thanks ladies, I'm so pleased but worrying over every little cramp or niggle :0( yeah Reni baby no.6 lol (I know I'm insane!)
I deffo recommend that conceive plus stuff as I was going through my notes on FF and I had noted that (tmi I know!) 2 days after we had last bd'd I noticed the leakage of previous put up there swimmers lol
That's got to be good eh?

Just tell him flourishing that your not his friend but in the interest of conception he can do you doggy rofl!

Sounds like your taking the bull by the horns morning, keep it up, always a good feeling like your doing something, moving forward x

I took those pregnacare conception tabs but I found they gave me cramps, odd eh

ReallyNotAMorningPerson · 13/09/2015 14:17

Reni I'm not sure if you were around but DH got his test results back and he has poor sperm motility. He needs the extra help sadly Sad I was thinking of leaving the TTC board as things are going to be a struggle. However, trying not to lose hope entirely!

reni2 · 13/09/2015 13:10

AF showed up yesterday, a day late, just to tease me a bit. Will start temping tomorrow. Back to school, back to TTC. Dh doesn't take anything unless you count red wine. I take pre preg vitamins intermittently.

ReallyNotAMorningPerson · 12/09/2015 15:07

Reni we've missed you - you're back and you're already talking about the theatre of the absurd!

Huge congrats Xx is this your sixth?!

Still trying to get started on my first. DH has been taking zinc, Vit C, co-enzyme q10 and all manner of other bollocks to try and get his swimmers going.

I've been AWOL a bit as took ages to sort my login stuff out post-Jeffrey.

FlourishingMrs · 12/09/2015 04:12

congrats XX I am so pleased for you, still on flashing smiley here, temp out of sink due to cold, but plenty of Cm, more than any I have had since Mirena removal. Big argument with DP. Put me right off.

How is everyone else doing?

OP posts:
XxbecquixX · 11/09/2015 14:58

Thank you Reni, I'm full of optimism right now which is great!

How is everyone else doing, any sign of AF today Reni x

reni2 · 10/09/2015 13:23

Great news, Xxbec! Have a great 9month. Have you started temping Flourishing? Fridge and Really, you well?

"Waiting for AF" rhymes with "Waiting for Godot" and is almost as absurd I just realised Hmm.

XxbecquixX · 10/09/2015 05:03

Xx

XxbecquixX · 10/09/2015 04:26

Defendants rofl meant to say every few days!

XxbecquixX · 10/09/2015 04:25

I just woke up, thought I heard someone knocking at the door! Lol
Needed a wee and thought oh sod it 4.30 in the morning I can't be collecting wee now and dipping sticks, so I did my FRER and its positive!!!
Still obs faint but it came up straight away!!
That's it now I'll be the FRER junkie and have to do one every defendants to watch to see if they get stronger Grin

reni2 · 09/09/2015 21:26

AF due day after tomorrow, but I've started on the red wine tonight, I am sure she's coming. Not enough, ahem, action this month. Then AF week, this month without grumping and back to dtd week. Will start to temp again, too and chart on FF. Wonder if I've still got the password..

FlourishingMrs · 09/09/2015 19:19

Very true ladies, next summer we will dieting, losing sleep with our other halfs wondering what happened to their very indulgent ladies.

At nearly 40 XXbec I don't have 15 years. However it's flashing smiley on CB today. I hate the flashing Smiley... It can last days

OP posts:
XxbecquixX · 09/09/2015 18:19

Wouldn't that be something is the next summer coming we would be posting baby pics and talking sleep deprivation and the complete lack of desire for DTD lol

XxbecquixX · 09/09/2015 18:16

I have a FRER from last month tucked up on the bathroom shelf and I'm planning on using it on the 10th which before my late O that was my original proposed 1st day of AF, where as now FF says test on the 15th.

Pregnancy for me has mostly always been a very fearful time as I mentioned I have had 3 missed miscarriages so I know that sometimes with other woman no blood means everything is going well, not for me unfortunately, as soon as I get my strong positives I'll book into Baby Bond for a reassurance scan!!

I know what you mean flourishing about the incompatibility issue my friend I believe very much so has that with her spouse, she's had kids before and so had he but together it took them 6 years to have the 1st.
However they have managed to squeeze a total of 3 out in their 15 years So there's always deffo hope if that does turn out to be an issue., have you done the fertility checks?
You can get pretty good, reliable ones online these days just to cover the bases.

Tell me about it Reni we have the baby still in with us lol does definitely pose a multitude of problems lol

Wait for AF and get back on course, I have the fertility friend app which I find really handy, always have my phone to hand so I can chart everything!
