Hello ladies - just got back from Scotland, what a boring week away from MN! Not got time to read through the millions of messages you have no doubt sent since I was last here - so anything I should know?? Any BFPs????

Nothing new to report with me, had my blood test on Friday which has left me looking like a junky - nice. Get my results on Monday so all fingers crossed for Clomid please girlies!

Nikkichik · 04/11/2004 09:58

Bad luck bonkerz! Feel for you! Maybe next month!

Geordie · 04/11/2004 09:41

morning all,

welcome to the newbies!
((hugs)) bonkerz- thnik i might join u in a glass of win and large bar of chocolate and my temps took a huge dip today. Still a small glimmer of hope due to being over the coverline but not feeling hopeful anymore .

Tania- you should stop taking EP at ovulation time as you are not supposed to take it in pregnancy- I did the same with angus castus last time...only up to Ov.

oh well..better go sort ds out.

Twiga · 04/11/2004 09:33

Morning all . Hi Tania, had a quick look at your stats, unfortunately we can't feel quite as smug as I thought, MunzieB is only 22 !

bonkerz, sorry to hear af arrived {{{hug}}} x

Welcome IrishLass, can't answer your question (someone will though) but wish you all the very best for this coming month ++++++++++++++++++++*+

Well, have decided to try and relax a bit this month, have resigned myself to the fact that cycle may still be screwy after mc and won't panic if late this month (might need some help with that one). Have worked out via babycentre.com that I should ovulate somewhere between the 7th and 19th depending on how long/short my cycle is (29-37 days). Dh reckons we need to not worry so much about dates etc, so the dancing has begun already and we'll try as and when (both sitll mindful of possible dates). Dh on nights for the next week which is fine, we'll work around it - getting breakfast in bed this morning, what a sweetie!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++*+++++ baby dust to everyone x

Bonkerz sorry about AF
Munnzie Not sure if it increase the chance of ov but the more cm you have the higher chance you have of conception around ov.
Hester thanks i will have to do a google search on it or call my natrapath.

So sorry bonkerz

Tania - I read somewhere (probably on Mumsnet!) that you should take evening primrose oil in teh first half of your cycle only; i.e. up to ov.

MunnzieB · 04/11/2004 08:05

Star flower oil i miagion you can buy from holland and barrets?? what do u mean by o bibi?? your full cycle? Mine's already 26 days so don't want it any shorter!

Mariella - My nan swears she could tell the day after conception as she was sick from that day right until about 4 months and couldn't eat a thing. So u never know.

Isn't it amazing the family storys you get told when people find out you are TTC! lol.

MunnzieB · 04/11/2004 08:00

Tania, does evening primrose also increase the chances for OV or just CM?

MunnzieB · 04/11/2004 07:59

lol Tania, I find it all to confusin my self, will start doing the ov testing again this month, (sighs will be happy just to get a positive OV test!) lol. AF is due tomorrow. Sorry about AF for u bonkers. Don't worry just enjoy all the extra fun you'll have! (he he he) off we go again eh! lol.

bonkerz · 04/11/2004 07:48

Af arrived today with avengence! now feeling silly that i listened to dh at all!! Oh well will have to start all over again! Af is 2 days early which is strange!

Hello - I'm another one sneaking a peak when I should be snoozing.

Welcome Irish Lass - can't answer your question but have you spoken to you Dr? Lots of babydust to you.

Sounds promising Mariella - do you remember feeling like this with your other pgs?

I'm CD26 (35 day cycle) so still walking swiftly passed the chemists to stop myself obsessively testing I'm a hopeless case...

boobs very heavy tonight but could just as easily be pre-menstrual. Annoyingly similar symptoms

Bibi20 · 03/11/2004 23:09

Just had to sneak a look at MN before going to bed...

MunnzieB - agnus castus seems to bring my O forward, the months I've taken it I've O'd on cd16 instead of 18 or 20... (powerful stuff eh?!), but I still have an LP of 12 days with or without it.

Starflower oil has definitely increased my EWCM - didn't really have it at all before - but now have a good couple of days of it - highly recommended!!

MINNIE1 · 03/11/2004 22:38

mariella,
Symtoms sound really good, i has the same when i was pg... but i was a bit thick and only relised when i was 7 weeks pg that o ya i have defo miss AF ... If you test now it will be to early so hold off (its a pain i know) Fingers crossed for you...

IrishLass,
Welcome to MN, May i ask are you from Ireland??
have you visted your doctor about you AF??
xxxxxxx baby dust to you...

CD13 here and using my new saliva microscope (my new toy) can't figure it out (well i have a general idea thanks tania) but i'm not ov'ing yet.. so baby dust to me xxxxxx....

mariella · 03/11/2004 22:27

sorry, i don't mean ttc #1 child, i mean my first month of trying for this child (who would be #4!).

mariella · 03/11/2004 22:26

hi all, well i'm cd19 of a 29/30 day cycle, ttc #1, i have no idea when I ovulated (used opks from day 10 - 15 with no result), bd'd from days 8 - 15 on and off.................... and I suddenly feel pregnant! which makes no sense at all to me, it is much much to early for anything to have happened, isn't it? my lower abdomen feels very sort of heavy and congested, i have a funny metallic taste in my mouth, and i found myself wondering if i could sneak a nap in this afternoon (i never do that!) do you think i'm going mad? i'm sure i'm imagining it. can't even test for another 8 - 10 days. probably wishful thinking, but i can't shake the feeling.

MunnzieB · 03/11/2004 21:52

I still have to get into the habit of doing that! lol.

Hulababy · 03/11/2004 21:48

No, I haven't tried anything other monitoring my BBT, CM and position of cervix. Chart is all on FF, and hoping that'll help me out.

MunnzieB · 03/11/2004 21:45

Oh right groovey, thanks! Have u tried the first responce moniter?

Hulababy · 03/11/2004 21:41

BBT - basal body temperature. It's the temperature you take to monitor when TTC - you can use sites like Fertility Friend to help chart it, to help predict OV time. You use a BBT thermometer (accurate to two decimal places, rather than a normal thermometer which works to one decimal place) first thing in a morning BEFORE getting out of bed.

MunnzieB · 03/11/2004 21:39

sorry, for being rude, Hi and welcome!

MunnzieB · 03/11/2004 21:38

whats BBT?

IrishLass · 03/11/2004 21:37

Hi,

I'm new to Mumsnet. I came off the pill (combined) at the beg of Sept & had the usual withdrawal bleed but since then no AF. I'm now on CD57 & I've no idea whether I'm ovulating or have ovulated or not (my guess is not) . I started taking BBT on CD36 along with using a saliva microscope & watching CM & CP to try to find a pattern. So far none of them have really tied up to indicate the same thing. Seems like my hormone levels are all over the place. Has anyone else experienced this & if so, how long did it take for ov to start up again?

Thanks everyone
