Morning ladies, the sun is shining - hoorah!

Well quick question re persona. Yesterday I got a on my clearblue digital and was expecting to see an "O" on my persona but this morning there was nothing and I have used all the tests. So does this mean that the "O" symbol will not appear seeing as there is no more testing this month?
Am confused as ov seems to be late this month as it is.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
xx

Morning ladies hope your all well this lovley sunny day just popping into say hello and will post this evening xxxx

Frizbe · 17/05/2005 23:22

Wellll thanks that Tabs I don't think I'm a gona try that just yet....... I'll leave this for someone else to give a go!! come on girls whose up for this one?!

Tabs · 17/05/2005 23:18

Saw a website with loads of stuff about this some months ago, but can't find it now. Have managed to find some instructions on exactly how to do it though, just in case you want them ...

Sperm can move freely in egg white . If you are going to do this and your doctor okays it, make sure you do the following:

  • Wash your hands and the egg thoroughly before cracking it open.
  • Be careful not to get even the tiniest amount of yellow in it.
  • Use a fresh egg
  • Place approximately 1/4tsp. of egg white on the tip of the penis.

So glad they specified to use a fresh egg, as obviously people would want to use a rotten one otherwise!!!!!!!

Frizbe · 17/05/2005 23:05

YUKKKKKKKKK Tabs! eugh, can you imagine trying to stick real egg white up there! visions of dh trying to split an egg and then pour it up there, yyyuuuuuukkkkkkkkk,
But seriously do you think it'd work?

Tabs · 17/05/2005 22:35

Frizbe - I think the strangest one I've heard is using real egg white if you don't get ewcm yourself! Just makes me wonder what happens to the egg as it gets warm - have images of sausage with scrambled egg all going on up there!!!!

Frizbe · 17/05/2005 22:27

Oh Lilsmum, sorry, just skimmed the posts there's been so many! Hope you find out whats going on soon?

Debbsey, hope you an DH sort it out soon, it sounds like he's just trying to make light of the matter, as he doesn't really know how to deal with it? try not to be too hard on him, he's only a man....

Frizbe · 17/05/2005 22:26

Rom, I 2nd n 3rd the suggestions below, go and see the lady gp and push the matter further (in the meantime I hope things go well for you in the month coming, so it'll all be for nothing )

Bella n Tabs, I had no symptoms with dd either!

so in the interests of science, what wild and wonderful ways/methods have people heard of being used to get pregnant?

I read about one girl, who could only get pregnant when she stuck her legs in the air for half an hour afterwards!, she had 2 children conceived in this way, and it only happened on both occasions when she did this, just going to sleep afterwards with legs flat never did the trick!

Bella23 · 17/05/2005 22:06

Tabs - totally agree on the symptoms front as also had no signs when i got a BFP last time!
Its all part of the big scheme to drive us into the looney bin!!
Rom - yes demand to see the lady GP and be pushy, am inclined to think in this world that's the only way to be...especially when it come to TTC!

romilly · 17/05/2005 22:00

meant fave websites - not threads

lilsmum - try not to worry too much but do make appt. wont you, so you can put your mind at rest

Tabs · 17/05/2005 21:59

Trix - yes I definitely find the 2ww the worst bit. I always try to read something into what my temps are doing, but they just don't tell me anything useful!

They're a bit odd this month which is making me unsure about whether I really did ov, but should be more confident one way or the other within the next couple of days.

I also go into overdrive on analysisng every possible symptom, but when I got pg last year I didn't have any symptoms before BFP, so this is also a futile exercise!!!!!

romilly · 17/05/2005 21:59

lilsmum - so sorry hon. that is worrying - although it could equally be nothing. i would talk to your doc. tomorrow.

bella - LOL at d/h's lid preferably!! yes you are right about GP - in fact there is another v.good female GP at the same practice who i always try and see, but i seem to get lumped with him each time. i will go and see her.

trix - have a read of fertilityfriend.com and peeonastick.com - our fave threads. everything you need to know about ttcing and more!

lilsmum · 17/05/2005 21:58

bella...AF was due last sun

Bella23 · 17/05/2005 21:56

Lilsmum - actually thinking about it, i would make an appointment withthe GP asap just to discuss what is going on

Bella23 · 17/05/2005 21:54

Trix -
POAS stands for Pee On A Stick

We ladies love the ovulation predictor tests (particular fave is the cleablue digital - pricey but gives a satisfying face when a positve result)

Prefered method of collection of wee is a deodorant lid - DH's if possible....or is that just me

Trix1 · 17/05/2005 21:50

Thanks for the welcome Bella - Excuse my ignorance but what is POAS and using your DH's deodorant lid for wee collection? Will try anything!!!!!!!!!!

Bella23 · 17/05/2005 21:49

Lilsmum - when should your Af have started?

lilsmum · 17/05/2005 21:47

thanks for all the replies, i hope you all get BFP very very soon!

news with me is, today i have had some spotting (never had this), when my AF starts i am normally flooding the first few days, bad enough to use night time towels so i am even more puzzled now, it is like cm with blood in (sorry if tmi!)very very odd [scratching head emotion!]

Bella23 · 17/05/2005 21:45

Rom - I would change GP....any chance? Couldn't cope with all the umming and arhing! A more sympathetic GP might make you feel that you are going through this with some support!

Welcome trix - another obsessive.....just what we like on here. I give you 2 weeks before you are POAS and using your DH's deodorant lid for wee collection!!

Trix1 · 17/05/2005 21:43

Another thing I have noticed is how tender / painful my boobs are since yesterday does this mean anything - I go looking for signs and then get bitterly disappointed when AF arrives.

Trix1 · 17/05/2005 21:42

Rom - yes I did - i am a novice to all these different tips and things to look out for.

my friends who do not have any problems with getting pregnant would not have a clue about any of this. they would think I am mad..(envy)

Trix1 · 17/05/2005 21:40

Hi tabs, we can give each other suppor then until then. Fingers crossed. I find the 2 weeks waiting the worst do you?

romilly · 17/05/2005 21:40

tabs - a huge thankyou for that link - you are a star

trix - milky cm is quite normal - did you have EWCM around OV time? you can get different patches even after OV

Trix1 · 17/05/2005 21:37

I would seek a second opinion your doc does not inspire much confidence. I have heard there is supposed to be a very good IVF clinic in Aldridge in the West Midlands and know people who have been successful there after in some cases many failed attempts elsewhere...

Can anyone advise me on this please? do you still have mc on day 19 thats where I am now. I had a lot of very milky mc yesterday. apologies for being so graphic.

Tabs · 17/05/2005 21:37

Rom - have a read of this - I picked it up from another thread the other day. Think it includes some stuff about age limits, which I seem to recall ranged from 34-45, depending on the clinic.

HFEA IVF info

Trix - I'm planning on testing on 28th if no AF by then, so we'll be together. Hula - will that be about right for you too?
