Actually, is an egg a frosty or is that a fertilised embryo? 🤔 I've confused myself! Sorry Blush it's on ice so it's frosty for me.

Can't help with the sticks I'm afraid @KateyA as I gave up with them - I never seemed to ovulate according to them but temperature (and pregnancy) indicated otherwise!

KateyA · 03/01/2019 08:29

I don’t quite know how to write my list every yet but this is my info if it’s the right stuff to add.. if anyone can translate it! No worries if not.

I’m 40. Started ttc this month. 0 kids. One frozen egg from egg freezing last year.

Still coming up as no ovulation this month. AF is due in 10 days so guessing I’ve missed it if it did happen.

What time of day do you guys use the cb ovulation strips? I’ve read conflicting things about not using the first thing. Was wondering about doing them at work at lunchtime

Karigan195 · 03/01/2019 07:11

I don’t know if I should go on the list. It’s early days so no guarantees though.

karryk · 03/01/2019 06:50

@Russkispy sounds promising - fingers crossed for this cycle! 😊🤞🏼 The hypnosis sounds very interesting - is it online or did you buy a cd (does anyone buy cds anymore?! 😋)

@Presh12345 sending positive thoughts and that Greek God can weave some baby magic 😊 ❤️ xx

Back in the desert after Christmas hols at home and off today to see my Greek God for next cycle. sigh

Russkispy · 03/01/2019 00:12

Over an hour ago I listened to Hypnosis for Fertility which relaxed me and I was feeling some weird sensations. Hard to describe. Suffice to say I'm still awake at this hour! Feeling all refreshed and clear minded. Just what the guy said in hypnosis, I'd feel!

Russkispy · 03/01/2019 00:06

Took Clomid cd5-cd9, had a private scan on cd10. It showed 12 follicles, 6 on each side! (Only had 7 with IVF). Shagsthon successfully completed. I came first, excuse the pun. And now in tww. My clinic is on standby for sending me meds for a fresh round of IVF. It will be a short protocol again. And they will use a couple of new techniques for egg fertilisation including PICSI if needed. So will see how this cycle pans out. In the meantime having regular acupuncture and reflexology and tons of supplements

Russkispy · 03/01/2019 00:01

@Orchid222 just wondering how you're getting on. Hope you're well?!

minime2017 · 02/01/2019 23:58

@Realitysucks a couple of threads ago one of our Mobley ladies made a list of all of us, but she is now on a diff thread as expecting 😍

PetraRabbit · 02/01/2019 22:08

I agree about the list and would add that it would be good if someone reposted it regularly in an easy-to-find place...either near the top of every page with a 5 or 0 at the end, for example, or as a first post every new edition ie. "Winter baby dust/August baby dust" etc.

Realitysucks · 02/01/2019 19:25

Also just had some muccy CM AF is about to rear it’s head I think 😞

Realitysucks · 02/01/2019 19:24

@Rose68 and BooseysMom I don’t understand about the list what do you mean happy to help?

BooseysMom · 02/01/2019 18:54

@Rose68..yes great idea about a new list.. does everyone agree and if so, who wants to start the ball rolling?!

Realitysucks · 02/01/2019 14:04

@cleozata typical isn’t it. I’m really panicking now that it’s gonna muck up all of it. DH goes skiing end of Feb with the guys. Now not sure whether we can squeeze it all in, before he goes. May have to wait for when he comes back and delay it all by a month or so and have the scratch in Feb.
