TTC October - bring on the spooky BFP's part 2

SK I haven't even heard of Robitussin but I'm off to buy some grapefruit juice!

Ladylush Good luck at the doctors. It might all be nothing to worry about but talking to a doctor should put your mind at rest and if Doc sends you for some tests at least you'll feel like you're doing something. Let us know how you get on.

SK Glad to hear evil AF gone. I too am pretending not to be obsessed about getting/being PG, it's hard work!

My dear friend who is 20 wks PG has just been round (we would both have been due in March if mine had stuck) she has such a big bump. It was a when I opened the door but she is sooo lovely I'm pleased for her and know it will be my turn soon. We did some kind of old wives tale ring test which apparently has never been wrong It tells you how many, what sex children and in what order you are going to have. I'm expected to have one girl (which I already have) and two boys. Blimey I was only expecting one more but according to this I've got another two to go It's probably a load of old clap trap but it made me feel better

The sun is shining, I think I'm ovulating and I've just had chocolate cake, I feel good today. Hope you are all good too.

Hey SK glad AF finally packed up. I've been drinking grapefruit juice all month...I think it does help a little I certainly made sure I drank two large glasses the day I ov'ed! But I didn't suddenly start producing masses of it at the time.

I'm having really weird symptoms at the moment. I've had loads of EWCM for the past 4 days. Dunno if I'm ovulating again (might do an opk tonite!) or if I'm pg or if I'm due on. Will know on Saturday hopefully!

Good luck at the docs ladylush mtw go for it! Apparently after the egg's hatched you dry up the next day. So if there's no more EWCM tomorrow, then you'll know. But what do I know about EWCM - I get it all over the place (I mean all over my cycle )

Morning all just checking in for today we have been short of BFPs this week is anyone going to test this week?

Not much happening here AF gone so just checking out my CM again, am not using opks this month as they stress me out. I'm also pretending not to be obsessed about TTC either (some chance)

ladylush - good luck at the docs I don't think you are a hypochrondriac better getting these things checked out. I'm 32 btw so a baby really

07MTW - get BDing even if DH does have man flu tell him he can lie back and you'll do all the work, men like that well mine does maybe he's lazy.

Has anyone else heard of taking Robitussin couch medicine to improve your EWCM, apparently (read an article linked from here) if you take it a few hours prior to BDing it can help provide a better environment for the swimmers have also heard drinking grapefruit juice does the same thing???

hello to everyone else

Yep snow tyres and snow chains

Deb

I'm sure you have snow tyres though - not like us! My mum went to Finland recently and the taxi driver was laughing at the stupid Brits who crash every winter cos they don't have appropriate tyres!

Oh yes, they can't wait for winter!! I love the snow but not clearing it and driving in it - won't be doing much snow shifting this winter though!

Deb

Thanks deb - just had a look at your pics. Austria looks beautiful. Bet the kids love the snow don't they.

07mtw You've got plenty of time yet - I'm 38 , 39 at Christmas!!

Ladylush hope it goes OK at the Drs

Deb

Don't worry mtw, you're not the only oldie here. I'm a year older than you and in fact I will be 36 in January.

Ok ladies, I have a GP appt. today (well one for ds as well but that's slightly separate). I am going to ask for thyroid function test and oestrogen levels, as well as investigation into why I keep getting upper respiratory tract infections. The TFT I am requesting because my mum has an underactive thyroid and it can be hereditary - also can cause recurrent m/c. Also wondering if oestrogen levels are too high as I have tingly breasts all the time now as if I am pre-menstrual. Also terrible PMT. I get colds (which often lead to sinusitus) every month (twice this month)though I have managed to avert sinusitis by taking max strength vit c and using steam rooms. My diet is healthy, I exercise 3 times a week and I no longer drink alcohol during the week. Inspite of this regime I am not losing any of the weight I've gained since having ds. OMG, you probably think I'm a hypochondriac It is getting me down though

Hope I didn't sound insensitive to anyone who's been trying for a long time in my last message. Sorry if I offended anyone.

Thanks Bucky I'd best get to it!!

My cycle is usually 28-30 days. I'm 34 so my days are becoming numbered

You'd think with one child already I'd know my stuff but I fell PG by accident last time and only been trying 6 months this time I've fell PG twice but didn't stick so tracking my cycle has been difficult.

I thought this month I would
just let nature take its course and not worry about it but true to form Middle of the month I'm becoming obsessed!

My first time at updating the list. Hope it's ok. If I've made any mistakes please put me right. We must be due some more graduates now?

Morning 07MTW If you are young in ttc terms ie twentys, it could last upto 5 days. Otherwise yes, EWCM is supposed to mean you are fertile. It can be misleading though, I got my EWCM on CD9 this month but didn't ov till CD14! How long is your cycle?

Good Morning! Anyone out there? I need help.

I am on CD 10 and TMI alert this morning I had a huge amount of EWCM does this mean I at at my most fertile for about 48 hours and I'm still in with a chance if I can get DH (with man flu) to BD tonight?

"Tonight's the night we're gonna make it happen................" think I should be singing this to dh

oops I meant to sing...I'm about to lose control and I think I like it. I think I did...lose control that is

i think i might lose control but i think i like it

Pointer Sisters - I'm so excited and I just can't hide it.........................

excitable. Think it's the shit weather causing me to have seasonal affective disorder Self-Indulgent Hypochondrial Syndrome

Wow it's like a party here

Glad to see you're on top form. It's really cheered me up

Muppet I'm really of your afternoons relaxation you lucky thing.

DH still got stinking cold. I've tried to tempt him to BD but he can't be bothered. I'm CD9 so will let him off tonight and try again tomorrow

LOL
I like how you took a breath for the big finish!!

(Big finish) Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Tra la la la la la la la la la la la la la

You'll be singing songs next excitable

Good to see you in good spirits ( is red wine a spirit) Anyway, I always prefer a face with a smile on it to a frown, anyday.

I nearly lost my purse today, I was beginning to think things were out to get me, when the police phoned me to say it had been handed in.

So I did lose it really but a nice shop owner found it and did a good deed for the day.
So, now I feel like I have gained £15. I thought I only had £15 in it, turned out I had £30.
Although, I had just cancelled my card, so not so good, considering our mail right now.
Ah well, at least I have my purse.

And cramps, do you think..., could they possibly be...implantation ones????
