Ah, lost my original post! Will try to re-do...

Vix - so glad it's work! and I'm happy to help! It lets you back fill, so that's great for you. Also, if AF comes for us both, we're cycle buddies, for cycle # and almost cycle length...yay!

Todo - yum yum about the kebab,I'm [envious]! I would definitely recommend eating and drinking what you want now! I figure if I'm PG I won't be able to eat and drink what I like, and if DH and I have to go for treatment to TTC we won't be able to either. I'm making the most of now!!

CN - Have you seen that thread about bringing on AF? I can link it here if it helps, as I know you use your iphone most of the time...
Also, I don't know what you and MC were talking about, but I'm sorry if bad stuff has happened in RL!

ToBeOrNotToBe · 23/09/2008 19:44

Or "excited" even!

crunchynutter · 23/09/2008 19:44

thank you BSL! I remember well now but I haven't seen that thread. I will get some as soon as I get to the shops!

I am comforably within the 'healthy' weight bmi guide but am still about a stone mYbe half a stone heavier then I would like. My diet is atrocious though so I think if I just get into some healthier habbits I will feel better! To be honest I don't know how I'm not 20stone with what I eat!

I've just had some really awful family news though and am a little weepy. I have work to do and all I want to do is go to bed with a block of chocolate

ToBeOrNotToBe · 23/09/2008 19:43

Hi BSL - thank you.

I'm still not convinced I'm PG - at least I'm not allowing myself to get exciting just yet. I've just asked my DH to pick up a chicken kebab on his way home to help take my mind off it all

Hi,

Vix - invite sent!! Hopefully FF will behave for you now...it's been very helpful for me.

Tobe - hi! and welcome!! great news about starting TTC! I saw you post another thread with potential symptoms - good luck!!!

Oh, it's so nice to have some new members. I am wondering if we need a new stats list...things are getting a little confusing, plus it'll be good to let our newbies see where we all are.

I'll start ( I hope this is okay with everyone!)

Thanks BSL I appreciate it, i am jealous of your fancy chart ha ha!!
My email address is [email protected]

Well my AF pains are killing me now and am craving sweet things, so am deof out this month. So BSL and Summerbird how are you getting on, any symptoms yet??

Crunchy i would go to the docs, hopefully it will put ur mind at rest!!

Welcome michelle i hope the symptoms are PG symptoms, i will keep my fingers crosses for you!!

ToBeOrNotToBe · 23/09/2008 19:02

A big hello to all you lovely ladies.

I'm new to MN and my DH and I have just started TTC since August.

Crunchy - here's the herbal remedy - agnus castus. Did you see that thread about bringing on natural AF...there's loads more ideas there. Like a teaspoon of cinnamon a day etc...I'd take a look and see if you and DH fancy any of their solutions!

The one thing I'd warn against...and just cos I think it's affected my cycle length - don't diet. Just eat healthily. I don't think dieting helps TTC. You need all the fats and protein and carbs etc for TTC and growing a baby. I think weightwatchers is great, but if you are a normally and healthy size, don't do anything drastic.

it's half term in 5weeks so I may go to casually see the doctor then-at least it would have been 4/5months then xx

crunchynutter · 23/09/2008 18:03

thanks BSL! You really are a star! I was that concerned about not getting pregnant for so long that I think I just didn't really think about when I stopped taking it! Ironic really!

I have got the details wrote down somewhere but Can you remember what it was called by any chance? My DH is reAlly anxious about getting doctors involved so I might try the herbal remedy for a month before bothering the doc! The whole MC thing I read on it scared me but it's got to be worth trying it for a while! I have tried switching to green and herbAl 'Teas and Although I am in the healthy weight for height I am thinking of joining weight watchers online to improve my diet! I just feel useless not knowing what cycle I am on or anything! It's frustrating no mAtter how much I try to forget about it!

Crunchy - I'm also happy to recommend you for FF! Just whizz me your email...

As for AF, I was wondering if you ever tried that herbal remedy to bring back AF and normal cycles? I know I mentioned it a while back and you said you weren't keen.

I would pop and see your GP! They might do something. Our GP was fine about testing DH's sperm after only TTC for 2.5 months. (Still no results, but it's only been a week) But I do know that some GPs make you wait for while, for AF to come back, for TTC, etc etc. In that case I think it might be worth giving the supplement a go. Lots of people on this site recommend it....

I hate hormonal birth control! I am so sorry you're having trouble!

also vix it wouldn't let me on FF either! I gave up though as I have no AF to chart LOL. See I can see the funny side of all this...

crunchynutter · 23/09/2008 17:37

hi girls and hello michelle and question!

Ok I have a question. I have confided in a friend about TTC as she was on the same injection as I was for a long time and has a lovely little girl. Thing is she had worried me a little now. Out of 3 others she knows that were on it 2 had AF return quickly but it took a yr to conceive (I expected that though) the other lady didn't have AF return and waited and waited and when she finally went to the doctors she had to have test done and there is a problem and she needs fertility treatment.

What should I do?? Should I hold in the initial 6months I said or should I go to get tested?the other thing was I am very wary of my doctor. Without sounding to stupid, any ladies that have had any tests done would you mind telling me what they do? I'm ok with blood tests and urine tests but anything else scares me a little hope you can help me if not I know you will at least calm me down which is why I love you all!! -

Okay a better update:

Vix - if your temp has dropped it could be AF on her way. But you never know, I've seen other people have a temp drop right near the end of their cycle and then it spikes back up and they get a BFP!!

Michelle - welcome!! Fingers crossed for you!! We are hoping for another BFP on this thread soon! Don't be tempted by the evil pee-on-a-sticks yet though, I'd wait til AF is due.

Summerbird - no symptoms either here! Onwards and upwards!

Questions - lots of people are successful in their first month...but lots aren't! I hope you are lucky. Anyhow we'll all be here to help you through. I have to say my first two 2WWs were awful! I was a lunatic!

Anyhow, off to grab some lunch.
