The Grapefruit drinking knicker checking ttc brigade

villageMum have you started yet the DP yet?

Has anyone tried the fertility thing, which tests how good your eggs are - Boots sell it?

Hi All, Queenie VillageMum and the rest of you who have said a few words. I am just feeling a bit low.. it must be the 2WW

I am thinking to go to the doctors as I am worried that I may never be able to have another baby - as I will be 40 next year gulp Time is running out for me and I just want to be sure its nothing to do with me... do you think I could try being on Clomid ... would that help me??

Cindy - sorry you are feeling so down. Big hug.

Queenie - if you have been having a lot of bding at the right time you are in with a chance. It's probably good to have a good cry and let it all out though.

And a wave to everybody else.

I'm on CD 13 but have not had a smiley face on my ovulation predictor yet and I havn't had EWCM yet either but have been basically bding every two days. Hmm I want to get that smiley face. Hope it appears before I run out of sticks. I'm sure last month I got EWCM on day 12 or something. Anyway I'm just being stupidly impatient.

Anyway the very best of luck to those in the 2ww?I will be doing that next week.

oops that meant to say don't move up

Queenie don't get too down, you could still be pg with a hard, low cervix they say that some womens cervixs down move up until quite a few weeks after the pg has been confirmed, so I don't think its a sign to pin your hopes on. Its so good to vent every now & then, god knows we all go through it month after month, a good blow out clears the air puts everything back into prepective & helps you to start the next month all fresh & determined

Queenie, maybe you just needed to vent on Friday, as you say, and to take a break from the intensity of ttc... see what happens on 2 December? You never know! Hope you start to feel a bit better soon hun. x

Hi all and big hello to Bigbaubleyes. I see your AF is due Dec 2nd which is same as me. We can go mad together in the days running up to it!!

Sorry to hear AF got you Pezzina.

Villagemum, I didn't go up on Friday. DH wouldn't have got back to where he was staying til late and I was beginning to feel very down about the whole ttc business. Instead, I saw a friend and poured my heart out / cried my eyes out. It felt good to get it out of my system and I felt a sense of calm afterwards.

I'm still a bit down though and convinced I'm not PG this month - so C1ndy, very much like you! It is shit isn't it. Me and DH had quite a lot of sex between CD 9 and 17 and pretty sure I ov'd somewhere around CD 15 - 19 but my cervix is now very low and hard, and I don't feel PG at all (currently CD 22) no matter how hard I try to look for symptoms. I hate the way ttc takes over so much...

Hope some of you others are having a better Monday.

x

Oh Cindy, you WILL get pg - even with all the tools and the DP it's not guaranteed straight away, but every month we carry on spotting ov and BDing at the right time the odds are more and more in our favour - you will get there, I know it! Just hang in there hun... And you may be pg this month after all; there's just no way of knowing at this stage that you're not... Sending you a ((big hug)).

Heeby great to hear you got the advice you needed at the doctors!!

I ovulated late last month... I think I am dpo7 not sure though.

Have no more stomach cramps so am now thinking that I am not pg! guess I will just have to wait until next week to know for sure sigh

Hi Ladies, I'm back after my long wkend in UK heebey I live out in Gibraltar as DH is MOD but will be back in UK full time at the end of summer 09. It was bloody freezing..how do you do it I've done so well at not symtom spotting while I've been away dpo6 today so only another wk to go
Sorry to hear the witch got you Pez
Glad to hear your now on your way funtime
Welcome bigbaubleyes w'll get you through it, just stick with us
I'm getting lots of twinges low down & very sore boobs, but I'm not taking them as pg signs someone wrote a good note on one of the other threads, she said that the hormone after OV & before AF gives off the same symptoms as the pg hormone to get your body ready just incase the egg is fertilised, so until you are actually late not to take note of any symtoms as it could just be your body getting ready. I've taken that on board this month & every twing I have I'm just telling myself that its my body preparing, but it doesn't mean I'm pg..its working so far

Not doing well at all today. Been crying last night and this morning... don't think I will ever get pg... AF due 1 December but I know I am not pg! Told DH that its a waste of time and that I have had enough. I guess I need to relax a little!! it is frastrating... how can we miss when we have used all the tools!! I thought it was going to be easy... how wrong am I !! oh well, looks like I will BD next month. :0(

Hi bigbaubleeyes, come and join us! I had a mc in September which brought its fair share of depression, so you're in good company. I'm sure we can support each other...

Pezzina, sorry to hear AF has arrived, but this means you might just have a fantastic Xmas present on the 25th! Glad you're reassured about your lp!

Funtime, we're in sync; hope neither of us sees AF again for the next 9 months!

Yellow, not long to go now till Thursday, hang in there...

Cindy, how are you doing?

((Waves)) to everyone else I haven't mentioned by name.

Hi all can I join i han't read all 500+ posted but you look like a nice supportive bunch. I am just getting over a bout of depresion but I am not letting this deter me from TTC. I have a DS1 (3).

Not expecting to fall this month as we're away visiting relatives at the crucial time, but that's Ok as I can then have a boozy Christmas this year.

Heeby - great to hear that you'll get an early scan and that you're still keeping us company .

Oh Pezzina - wait and see... but if she's held off until tomorrow then I guess your worries about your lp are laid to rest? (And it may not all be over yet you know - now that I think of it I was convinced after I'd conceived my ds that I hadn't and that my AF was due that month - had all the cramps, etc. So hang in there!)

Hi all, hope you all having lovely weekend.

Have got dull ache in right side this morning, hope its not because Af is due in a few days

Hello lovely ladies - hope you're all enjoying your weekend.

VillageMum AF has still not arrived but I feel she is on her way - due tomorrow and I have a feeling she will be right on time - damn her!

How's everyone else doing?

So queenie, what happened? Did you stay home?

Heeby, glad your GP visit was reassuring!

Pezzina, how are you doing? Is AF still staying away?

Urgh, only cd3 and I'm very impatient to start...

WOW!....I can't beleive this thread came from the original! its huuuuuuuge

heeby so glad your getting an early scan! whish I would have got one to put my mind at rest! And like you I have not found an ante-natal thread (apart from out wee one) I feel comfortable on.

Goodluck to all those testing soon!even those who are wondering who I am lol.

ps the Dr went really well, she said apparently all women in our area are offered early scans now, before 10 weeks, so should have one in next 2-3 weeks, hurrah! She gave me an EDD of 16th July and also talked to me about Csection (i had an emergency one last time). All in all i came away feeling quite good and more relaxed.
