Hey girls here's the new thread

Morning all.

just on my way to take ds1 to football with super fat lip with an awful crustation on it. really dont want to go out the house but ds1 would never forgive me.

Seany i phoned a medical herbalist who i found in the yellow pages. I told her i was ttc but my periods were irregular. she said that i could go and see her, pay the £60 consultation fee and then get a specially made concoction or and these were her words 'try agnus castus as its been used for centuries to regulate womens cycles'. She did say not to take if i have pcos but nothing about being pg.
mine do say not to take if pg or breast feeding.
I know that some ppl take agnus castus for the first 2 wks of their cycle and then stop til af arrives. perhaps if you were worried then you could try that.?

I take pregnacare conception, b complex and agnus castus. my cycles have become more regular. finished the pill in oct and period didnt show til jan. (2 wks after starting to take agnus castus.) then 1 fell pg that month and mc but since the mc ive had a 26 day cycle and a 28. Much better than the mammouth 72 day one!!

Ant you deserve a medal. your patience is outstanding. i really hope you get a bfp soon.

how is everyone?? doing anything exciting this weekend?

pmsl at the strait jacket ant, you def hit the nail on the head there lol- i think we could all do with one! God the 19th was almost a week ago, your still in with a good chance of a bfp (could be just taking its time). I really really hope you get it.

Im not going to take another test, i think af is just strolling in at a leisurely pace arrrghh the spotting has returned but it is bright red now. it prob just stopped yest cause i was so stressed with my driving test.

Im going to book another one next week when i get paid-i only got 3 minors yesterday but i was too wide on my reversing round a corner (thats what i failed on last time as well fgs). I took my 1st test on 9th jan and my instructor has changed his car 3 times since then so thats not helping!!

Is anyone up to anything nice this weekend?

When i was out shopping i called to holland and barratt and had a look for angus castus, and it said on the back your not meant to take them when your pg (do you think this would hinder chances of ttc?). Does yours say that on the back bubble

Hope your all well...x

Seany,

Sorry to hear about the driving test. i took one in Derry and I was rubbish - ended up with 17minors, whereas in Scotland i managed to do and only get 4!! They keep telling me that NI is the hardest place to pass your driving test.

Are you going to test again??
I last tested on the 19th, will see wat happens with docs and decide whether or not to buy another test, some agnus castus or a strait jacket lol

Hey girls,

Well its not good news-i failed again (im gutted) , but i guess i will just have to try again.

Think i mite join you in that drink bubble

Something strange has happened- the spotting has now stopped! i haven't a clue what is going on with my body!!

ant that is a strange one! hopefully you get some good news on tues at your appointment. When was the last time you tested?

How is everyone else today? Hope you all have a lovely weekend. xx

Bubblebell1 · 24/04/2009 17:14

Seany how was the test?... i have a bottle of wine here that i shant open until ive heard your good news

Ant have you thought about taking herbal remedies to help regulate your cycles? honest.. it really worked for me. after the pill my cycles were all over the place. since taking agnus castus its very regular. i just know how awful it is to wait for ages for af to show. but... she could be away for a reason so i will keep my fingers crossed.

hope ur all good and have a lovely wkend

xxxx

Antdamm · 24/04/2009 15:48

Hi girls,

Still spotting lightly. went to docs this morning about dizziness and my bp is fine but he thinks cause my cycles have always been reg and since last month i was late and had bfp then bfn, he says he thinks i had a v early mc last month . He says if af has not came properly by next week ive to go back for blood test as i could be pg (ps nips have suddenly got sore again wtf???)

Thanks for the good luck-will let yous know how i get on with my test this afternoon-hopefully i pass!!

whitty so glad your spotting has stopped-thats a good sign!!

How are you ant?

It really amazes me the energy kids seem to pull out of thin air!! Poor bubble- i hope you get a full nights sleep tonight.
Try not to worry too much about monday, im sure there's nothing wrong, but you are just being on the safe side getting things checked.Let me know how you get on.

Thank you all for your good luck wishes for my test tomorrow xx

I am still spotting and it is getting a darker pink colour so i assume this is def af.Wish it would just hurry up and arrive properly so i can start afresh at cd1. I havent been having cramping or anything which is weird for me

Def going to go to doc in morning about the dizziness (think maybe i have low bp as was talking to my mum about it and she said she gets this before her af due).

How is everyone else doing?

whitty im still keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Bubblebell1 · 23/04/2009 18:13

Thanks seany i feel abit nervous. worried what they will find... someones old boot no doubt!

Good luck for tomorrow. im sure u will pass with flying colours

dont give up girls. MadM tested a few times and got bfns and was stil pg so try not to worry til the biatch is banging at the door.

after my mc in feb my next cycle was only 26 days with no spotting but since then ive had a bit of spotting pre af.. never had this before and wondered if it was anything to do with not concieving?

whitty it could be implantation bleeding. which can occur at 7-10 dpo or when af would be due. im keeping my fingers crossed for you both.

well i am on boring cd11 and i am offically exhausted. ds2 has not stopped all day. i know he hasnt had anything dodgey coz he is allergic to dairy and soya and i have to study the packaging on anything he has. Is it normal for a 2.2 yr old to get up at 4am and be like a whirlwind for the rest of the day? He hasnt even had a nap !

whittywantababy6 · 23/04/2009 15:16

Thanks Ive got more hope only because the three little spots on my pantie liner have not increased...maybe it is will see tomorrow...good luck on your test seany

seanybosmummy · 23/04/2009 15:07

Don't worry whitty, we've all felt jealous at times, its only natural.

I just bought a cheapie test but bfn. This dizziness is getting worse, i think i am going to go to the doc in the morning. I hope it doesnt get worse for tomorrow cause ive got my driving test at 2.50pm and want to have a clear head.

Just incase i don't get a chance to get on over the weekend just wanted to wish you good luck for monday Bubble

whittywantababy6 · 23/04/2009 13:39

seanybosmummy · 23/04/2009 13:34

I think google should be banned, it gives us too much false hope- i also spent last night googling implantation and spotting and have sorta became resolved to the fact now that this prob is af arriving slowly, and not making grand entrance like she usually does.

I guess we will just have to try extra hard next month (tho we did bd alot this month)

OP posts:
whittywantababy6 · 23/04/2009 13:31

Yes, it was only a drop...but I think af is here for me...im googling and alot of women have it before full blown af and I think that may be so I will try next month...

seanybosmummy · 23/04/2009 13:23

Hey girls

Ant that is so weird! i am going to google and see what dreams mean, im sure i can find the meanings somewhere

whitty you could also be having implantation bleeding, you had some pink cm a while ago same as i did didnt you?

OP posts:
whittywantababy6 · 23/04/2009 12:52

Hey ladies, so this morning I wiped and there was the pink stuff...not thick at all but I think maybe AF because they say implantation is 10 days past ovulation and Im now 12dpo...so I guess af is here...but Im not cramping will see though... seany you might have implantation since your still spotting dont give up hope...they say it happens around the time your supposed to get you period...ant your dream is cool they say that you dream stuff like that my fiance has dreams that hes running a race and its a little girl at the end saying go daddy go lol..he is a mess..

Antdamm · 23/04/2009 12:46

I forgot to mention the WEIRD bit of my dream - I gave birth in July this YEAR. In my dream i was pregnant all this time. Can't believe I forgot this in my earlier post

Seany, yeah I think you kicked it off nicely - lol. Love your dream btw, wonder what it means??

seanybosmummy · 23/04/2009 11:25

Hi Ant, I agree that we need to lift the black cloud though i think i contributed a lot to it yesterday - i feel a lot better today though thank god.

lol at your weird birth dreams!!

I dreamt the other night that my mil moved to a new house+it was all painted green and she told me to go look out the bedroom window cause you can see the animals in the zoo from there (wtf?? lol). Anyways i went up and opened the window and suddenly there was a huge tornado (only i was yelling "theres a torpedo!!"), and i couldnt get the window closed and started to get pulled out it. hahaha whats that all about .

Still nowt to report here. I have actually given up checking.

Had another weird dream, where I gave birth in the bathroom whilst DP was at work and DS was in his bedroom. Baby boy was born at half two and weighed 5lb 2oz!! In my dream I came on here to post and posted a link to my birth story on the announcements board. How crazy am I?

Hows everyone else holding up. We need to lift this black cloud. Anybody else had dreams as crazy as mine??

seanybosmummy · 23/04/2009 09:49

Im not too bad today bubble, still have random spotting but its not heavy at all, just small spots of pinky blood when i wipe (sorry for tmi-though we're all used to it by now ).

Oh dear you must be so knackered with ds2 waking at 4am (i thought 6am was early enough!)-hopefully he gets back into his wee routine soon so you can get back to your normal sleep pattern and not have to hold your eyelids open with matchsticks!

Rtuff that is awful how your docs keep fobbing you off, it is so frustrating, they just dont understand how we feel!
