TTC MAY-be, maybe not.... lets try again with the May thread

Hi everyone,

What is pre-seed? I am ttc no 1 and have been low carbing but have put a stop to that and have started to take folic acid. (only in the last week and am not v religious about it!)

Is there anything else I should be doing?
I'm using Persona and am not OV yet but did get a nice red light today so feel some BDing coming on!

that sounds like you will have to be working there for 26 weeks by the time you are 25 weeks pg, so if thats true, you will be fine.

my book says if your LMP was 1 May, DD is feb 5 2008

Hi all,

I'm just after a bit of advice really..

It's complicated but I want to ttc after my next af which will be very early May.
I was lucky enough to get caught the first time we ttc last August but sadly lost him at 25wks.

I have been back in work for about 4 weeks now & my company (where I've worked for 4yrs) has been taken over by a new company and we have been given new contracts & are ineffect all 'new' employees. This all happened on 1st April & so I need to make sure that I will be eligible for the standard maternity leave & pay (6wks 90% & £108 for the rest) if I get caught straight away?

How would the GP workout how many weeks pregnant I was & when I'd be due? I need to make sure that I will have worked for this company for 26 weeks by the 15th week before I'm due..

Urgh complicated and long winded, I'm sorry, but it's driving me crazy trying to put my mind at rest by figuring it out!!

Help!

I've got everything crossed for us all!

As you know from the other thread Wheely, I am sorry AF arrived! When I was a teenager, my Mum called it ?the Curse? it made me so embarrassed but I guess at some times in our lives it does feel like a curse! Hope your tests go well.

Lissielou ? I am without words to say how sorry I am hon, I really am hoping to hear good news from you before too long xx

Imawurzel ? no AF for 9 months!?

Welcome Reecey hope you?ll find lots of info and support on here. How long have you been TTC?

PinkElephant ? I guess I do feel a little bit nervous about getting pg again though I really, really want to be and really feel that I would be unlucky for lightening to strike twice. I know it happens but you have to tell yourself your MC on a one off don?t you or else you?d never have the strength to try again? I do know how you feel, I guess it?s only natural that we?d want to avoid the risk of putting ourselves through that again but the prize will be so worthwhile when we get it .

Morning everyone!! Isn't this weather glorious.....could get used to this. So where is everyone in their cycle this month?

Imawurzal - have you got a hang of your dates yet?
Reecey - welcome, hope your recovering from AF arriving
Wheelybug - good luck with the scan and blood tests, keep us posted
Lissie - thinking of you honey
MrMcJr - Do you feel a little bit nervous about getting pg again? I must admit I'm excited that all the restrictions have been lifted from us but I'm a little bit nervous at the same time. Its funny about your DH being full of enthusiasm, mine is exactly the same and is so determined for us to get pg as soon as possible now. Knowing that we can actually get pg it a good feeling I just hope my next little beanie can squeeze itself out of danger and plant itself safely in my womb this time

helloooo to everyone else I've forgotten to say hello to

Hi

I am just wondering if I can join you girls too, I am CD 2 after dreaded AF turned up yesterday b*itch!. Trying for #1 so this is all very new to me.

Hopefully not it's been 9 months now.
I'm only on folic acid.
Don't 'do' tablets, can't swallow them.
so don't want to take anything else, in case they are huge!!
I know i am fertile, well was, but hope the doc's didn't do any damage.
I don't really want to spell it all out cos you all might hate me and call me selfish and i don't want that to happen
There were reasons.
Nowt sinister like.

yes wurzel that's right, hopefully AF won't come thou.

wheely bug - looks like you and me are going to be TTC buddies then if we're both CD1 today.

not doing any thing special - can't stand pinapple juice lol. anyhow have got some thrush stuff, and also the persona sticks so roll on end of the week! lol.

yup that's it. easy once you know but confusing til then lol.

thanks lissie.

(((((lissie)))))

Ah right.
So if AF did turn up on 19th (like it's supposed too) that would be, CD1.
Gotcha.

am not ttc for a while but as a ttc thread regular would just like to wish you all the best of luck and lots of jan/feb babies!

imwurzal - your cycle day is the number of days from the start of your period. so the day flow starts - cd (cycle day)1, the next 2 etc etc up to (eg )28. Starts again the firsat day of next period

Don't know what cycle day i'm on.
How do you do that??
Is that from when you first start ttc??
Or really start to take note??

im slowly making my way through mine hoping a glass a day will keep my AF away . Looks like we are all putting the grapefruit juice to the test this shall we raise a glass.......

Hi All

Have come over from April as AF arrived this morning so busy posting 'feeling sorry for myself' messages everywhere..

Having blood tests and scan this month so at least we'll know if there is a hormone problem stopping us (7-8 months of ttc since m/c having conceived twice very easily).

Good luck everyone. Off to slurp grapefruit juice.

Morning ladies hope you are all well and nurturing those linings and eggs!!

Mumto3girls ? grapefruit juice breaks down mucous so helps create wetter EWCM ? apparently. Seems to work for me

Hey PinkElephant glad you feel excited hon and quite right too! I have to admit, I still feel a bit jaded from the pressures of TTC the first time but I?ll get over that. Eating the grapefruit should have the same effect, yes. I love grapefruit too so it?s no hardship for me either! It?s always good to have something new to try each cycle to give you motivation I find, don?t know what I?ll think of to do differently What?s different for me this time round is DH?s enthusiasm, I think it?ll make the whole process so much less stressful!

Hello Woodmouse ? welcome and I hope you don?t have to visit this thread for too long! Good luck!

Mum2sam ? you are doing all you can hon The pre-seed should reach you, they are normally really quick. I need to relax too, that?s my worst fault!

Hello Mum03 LOL sounds suspicious that thread you are thinking of creating ? are you going to call it ?whilst the cat?s away..? Here?s to our eggs!

Suss ? wishing you and your DH all the best this cycle, I really, really hope it works out for you!

Imawurzel ? good thinking! Think too much grapefruit juice isn?t good either due to being so acidic but a little carton should be ok.

What Cd are you all on? My only cd2.

hello all, I was with you before in jan but left, now back again, i'm under an alias as RL people know me and I don't want RL friends knowing my sex life! lol.

anyhow now CD1 cycle last 2 has been 28 days 1 DS (took 9 months to concieve) was on the pill before him not had anything since he was born.

am trying my hardest not to get wound up by it all but it's v hard already! lol.

this month DH wants so ty and get a better amount of BD'ing in than last! lol - have a dirty w/e booked for the w/e before OV so hoping DH is home for the full month so we have a good shot - going to do it this month lol.

ive just ordered pre-seed last night hoping it will get here before the wkend. Im not sure what else i should be doing-apart from trying to relax . Cant remeber doing all this last time

I'm trying to not think 'must make baby - must make baby'
Just gonna go with the flow at the mo.
I'm only on Folic Acid tablets. Boots own.
Don't really like grapefruit juice, but may get a little carton and drink it through the day, how much are you supposed to drink then??
When it gets to July or so if we have not been successful then a trip to the doc's it will be.
Just in case.

Hi trying to conceive number two and without husband! Its our last IVF attempt, my DH has fertility problems and so we are using donor sperm. This is our last attempt as after this we have no more sperm. I did conceive last attempt but had a chemical pregnancy, ie positive test and then af a few days later. I will be dipping in and out too but I think my cycle will start beginning of may.

My dh is away most of each week too, so perhaps we should start a thread about ttc with dh away!!! might make interesting reading.

Good to see we are all starting off in a positive pro-active frame of mind, I am just taking multivit with folic acid, not into grapefruit juice myself.

I have reverted to my non-easter name (from yum03creameggs) as easter is now finished. Now instead of easter eggs we need to focus on our own eggs and getting them sorted out!

snap woodmouse hence why im getting desperate and trying loads of things

Hi everyone, may I join you too? AF is due around 23/04, so not wholly in May. is that ok? I'll be popping in and out too. We're TTC#1. I've seen a few names before and a few I don't recognise. Good luck everyone

I'm so sorry to hear about your mc's MrsMcJnr and alittlebitshy. You'll have lots of support here.

Thanks for the tips re grapefruit and everything else. DH works away a lot, so I'm sure to be around on the TTC June and TTC July threads eventually, if he is not at home at the right times!

Hi all ...... Oh I'm such a saddo as I'm so so so excited to be on here at last. Its been a long 3month wait after my ectopic at christmas but here I am all ready to TTC again. Ovulation is this friday .....hooray!!! I'd forgotten about the grapfruit juice, I'm eating a grapefriut most days coz I love them for breakfast, surley this will have the same effect? I must admit as for all the other multivitamins and EPO etc I haven't started with these yet, just settled for folic acid. I may just see how I go and then start good old vitamin cocktails in the next few months if nothing happens

Good luck to us all this month ladies Its so strange to see us both back here MrsMcJr...hopefully lots of happiness will be soon to follow

ita ment to rpoduce a better environment for the sperm i think must order that pre-seed will look it up in a bit
