The Grapefruit drinking knicker checking ttc brigade

Huge congrats heeby!!!!

Does anyone know if we should be drinking fresh grapefruit juice and why or is from concentrate ok? i just had my first glas and couldn' stand the stuff so mixed it with lemonade which was much more pleasant1

Heeby a line... goush ((Hugs)) :0) You better keep in touch and let us know how your getting on. Whahwoo!! You've graduated... Well done!!

Spats Everyone is welcom!!

Pezzina thanks for the tip, I will pop in to Boots to stock up.

Hmm, thank you yellow i'm not letting myself get too excited, it is very very faint but we both saw it and didn't have to strain our eyes etc.

We have another test in the pack so will wait a few days and do it again.

I really hope i can be your good luck symbol!

The things i did differently this month is:

Gave up coffee
Gave up all alcohol
BD more! (Deanna plan!)

I'm sure the no alcohol + GFJ made a massive difference on the CM front and this can only of helped, i hope.

Eeeek.

Ok ....

so ... it's faint, very

hey all heeby got everything crossed for you and whoever added me to the list thanks
so i have skimmed thru the threads what is this about 'cycling' i've raised my legs in air but never 'cycled' does it jiggle em further down or maybe that should be for my ignorance.
i think i got a peak on opk stix yesterday [they ebay ones so a bit confusing] so am on my second day of bd. and i had pain in my side pos ov? pain?

Hi spats, welcome from the October thread! ((waves)) If you've conceived 2 ds without any trouble I'd say your luteal phase is probably just fine... best of luck for number 3!

Hi spats welcome.

Pezz thanks for news about offer at boots, i haven't bought any yet and didn't realise how expensive it can be, i get pretty bad ov pains so usually don't bother testing but think if i am going to do Deanna plan i should probably start.

Thats what I thought. Not sure how long the offer has been running but it was a pleasant surprise when I went to get some on Saturday.

Its my first month of using them and was shocked at how much they would normally be.

i meant the ones from boots are expensive not internet ones obviously!! i am trying to type whilst having ds2 in the shower who i am also just toilet training ,so it is mad in this house - and i want another one???? xx

was going to try internet ones this month as they are so expensive but may stock up from boots. was going to wait for af before needlessly shelling out on more but if there is an offer on i am there (credit crunch and all that!!) xx

Hi spats and welcome to our thread. It does make me giggle to think of us ladies scattered across the UK with our legs up in the air tee-hee!

I forgot to mention earlier today for anyone using OPK sticks - the First Response ones are on special offer at the moment in Boots - buy one get one free - so get 10 sticks for the price of 5 AND each pack of 5 has one free pregnancy test too - so you get 10 OPK sticks and 2 pregnancy tests for £19.99.

hi, i have looked at your thread before as i tried drinking grapefuit this month. i am cd23 today. i usally am 28 day cycle but didn't get pos on opk until cd19 so not sure when af will arrive, so am impatiently patiently waiting for the next 7 +? days. We did bd alot this month but have panic about short lp at the mo which anyone reading other threads may have seen. I think people think i am an obsessed nutter about it. That me !! ps can i join your friendly thread? pps i too cycle in the air did for ds 2. Have to wait for dh to go to shower otherwise he would think i had totally lost the plot (not far from the truth!!) xx

Thanks guys, lots of love and baby dust, Have a super evening and i promise to update with any news asap xx

Pezzine Thank heavens others have heard o that too. Maneovering will be a problem, but oh well its all for the love of getting a beautiful bundle :0)

VillageMum sorry to have brought salt water in your eyes... goush I just type and type without thinking!! (((BIG HUGS)))) Now for the positive, my friend MC and became pg two months afterwards they say having a D&E clears your whole system.. kind of like when you have just given birth and that you are more likely to conceive... so come on, this month is yours!!! Your body will sort itself out.

Heebychick LOL, I'm only brave cause no one really knows who I am, where I am located. I love this site as I can ask all the questions I want... dirty or not!! Will be thinking of you tonight and really hope that I get some good news tomorrow.

Take care, all of you and speak to you tomorrow morning. I am off home now to pick my little girl up.

Thanks Heeby and all you other lovely ladies... checking CM like mad and hoping that there being so much of it (sorry TMI!)is a good sign at least... argh! x

(((((extra hugs to village who sounds like she needs them this month))))

c1ndy i am so glad you posted that, i always thought the same (but not brave enough to post it!) and yes i too 'cycle' my legs in the air afterwards but i wondered if doggy style helped so tried that one twice during our BD fest.

DH has just called to discuss types and timings of 'the' test! am so tempted to do it tonight but don't want to A)waste a test and B) get a false neg and be disheartened. I almost like the 'what if' stage as at least you still don't know!

If not count me in on the deana plan, i aam so happy to be part of this lovely supportive thread!

xx

Just re-read the DP plan again as I will try it next month if this month doesn't work for us, gosh if you have scant CM thats a bloody short time window for the little swimmers to meet the egg in time, I guess if that is the case 'doggy style' might be the best way to go about it get them in with as much help as possible

Thanks Pezzina, gosh, now I'm really teary! x

(((big hugs))) villagemum

Cindy thanks for asking... you've actually brought a tear to my eye... yes, I had a D&E after my mc but ovulated about 3 weeks afterwards. Just assumed all was back to normal again once AF came after that. Will try to be patient and see if I ov in the next few days... I guess it's all messed up, as you say!
Good luck this month!
