morning all

aly i know how you feel! i am sick of this too and just want that bfp. started having bah humbug feelings about christmas this morning and just know it's because all i want is that bfp and it seems so unlikely to happen. but i am trying to keep a positive attitude. dh and i are away for a naughty weekend in the cotswolds tomorrow so hopefully that will help! good to hear that acupuncture/diet changes seem to have made a difference. will keep my fingers crossed for you! btw - lucky you getting to watch carlisle ice skate!

aly323 · 04/12/2009 03:08

I just want to be pregnant already! I'm so sick of ttc.

I was hoping for ov during my vacation. That was the whole point to my vacation (if I wasn't at work, maybe I wouldn't get stressed out). Well, yesterday was my last day and I had not ovulated. I cried in the morning both about ttc stress and about going back to work. This cycle, I've done very good with exercise and diet (lots of soy and leafy greens). I also started taking b-complex vitamins. I was hoping that all this would maybe even move my ov up a little.

In the afternoon, I went to see the acupuncturist and told them that I didn't ovulate yet. He said that with changes in my diet, the acupuncture, and eventually with some herbs, my cycle will hopefully get better and regular. Then, to help things along, he added a few needles just under my belly.

Well, on the way home I started feeling some cramps. That evening, I got a very little EWCM (I usually don't get any, but have been drinking grapefruit juice and extra water). This morning, I got an almost positive and tonight, after more cramping, my opk is a definite positive.

So, maybe it was a coincidence, but maybe not. I prefer to think that the acupuncture made the difference yesterday. Now, I just get to try to convince the other half to bd again tonight (we did it this morning and two nights before). He'll want to wait until tomorrow morning, but I think the window will close by then.

Now, it'll be interesting to see if the B vitamins made any difference. I really hope this month takes, but if not, I'm feeling better about future months with the changes I've seen.

homebound I really hope you're soon to get a bfp. The spotting seems like a positive sign. How soon will you hear from the GP?

Also, welcome to Hypotheticalmummy and any other newbies I missed! I too, love the Twilight series. However, I'll take the book over the movies anytime- they were so fun to read! Although I'm "team Jacob," I have a huge crush of the guy who plays Carlisle in the film (but I hate the blond hair on him). He used to ice-skate at my rink and is absolutely dreamy in person- a little "rougher" than he is in the film. What made him even more crush-worthy was that he usually took lessons with his daughters. `Very sweet.

Honeymoo, are you due to test soon? How about you WhiteRoses? Any news? How are you feeling?

homebound · 03/12/2009 21:43

Cycle 3 UCL 30-32 CD64

Ok so I am back again. Was to the GP today to see what is up with 36(yep you heard it) negative pregnancy tests and still no AF (aunt flo for your info hypteticalmummy).

Lost you guys for a while, and the last time I was on I said that I had gotten a friend AF, but it was a false alarm and like one small spotting episode which was gone before I even went to bed!

So here is crossing the fingers nothing is wrong. Here is my drop of hope that it might be a pregnancy and im one of those really really unusual folks who get negatives when they are preggers! (dont worry, not getting my hopes up).

Will need to catch up on everyones stories since i finally found you all again!!

HypotheticalMummy · 03/12/2009 20:25

What does AF stand for?

You can tell i'm a newbie!

Currently at work and feel the dizziest I have ever felt in my life. Probably related to something totally random - but I am hoping against hope its a sign! Seems like just about anything can be interpreted as a symptom of pregnancy. Don't want to hope too much though, otherwise it will just be too sad come the time of the month. Not sure I am approaching this pregnancy thing with the most well adjusted of tempraments!

I love New Moon, though I cannot bring myself to read the books! I always ask my DP why he can't be more like lovely Edward....

NovemberAli · 03/12/2009 16:24

Lol @ Twilight/ New Moon - I was thinking it was only me having inappropriate thoughts about hot werewolf boys!

Going to try OPK sticks I got in a bundle from Ebay with my BBT thermometer starting tomorrow, just to try and pin my cycle down a bit seen as it's been fairly irregular since coming off the pill - then I might at least know if I'm ovulating!

claireinthecommunity · 03/12/2009 16:20

Sorry to hear about your AF Yorkshire, difficult to know what to say isn't it?, other than here's to next month and indulge yourself with 'stuff' you wouldn't be able to have if you were PG

Glad you enjoyed the film Honeymoo, doesn't sound like my kind of thing really, (not to see at the cinema anyway) - maybe I'll catch it when it comes to the small screen. I have heard of these parent and child screenings for films, my local Arts Picturehouse puts them on - something to think about for the future...

YorkshireTeaDrinker · 03/12/2009 14:28

Afternoon ladies,

Turned out I didn't need the tests on my trip away anyway, as AF caught me yesterday, so I'm now on CD2. Turned out is was just PMT afterall. I've updated the list to reflect this. I've also knocked off Confuseddoiordonti who I know from another thread, as I know she has decided to postpone TTC until the New Year.

pixie this is not daft at all! Anythind that gives you concrete evidence your body does what its meant to is a good thing. And depending on your age I read that there is only a 30% chance each month even if everything else is lined up! So hang on in there, or at least thats what I'm trying to do!

claire the movie was brilliant. Only marginally spoiled by the fact I've now pathetically read all of the books in one sitting. I know. It's like being 14 years old again with a massive crush. Husband thinks I'm weird, but I tell him its the same as his dr who fixation.

Baby cinema really is quite good. Movie is so loud that you don't really hear that much grizzling and most of them were asleep. there is this whole other world of stuff to do other than sit at a desk in an office in the west end of London!!

Anyway the movie was indeed new moon and without ruining the story, it's all adolescent angst, hot teenage boys/vampires/werewolves and self restraint, "making out" whilst trying to stay alive. That's about it really.

Now I am sitting here eating a ham sandwich and got text from husband who is dining out on the river with clients. Who is on the holiday here eh?

In a grump so might go to supermarket and buy some nice dinner for later.

claireinthecommunity · 03/12/2009 12:24

Have fun pixie

claireinthecommunity · 03/12/2009 12:23

Morning all

We have a miserable day here too honeymoo, I'm not off to the cinema though , I'm off to do a recce for a job shortly, It won't take long but I'm not looking forward to going out of the door today!

I need enlightening about 'Twilight', is it related to New Moon? - both of which I know nothing

Lol at kkas and "that werewolf guy is hot hot hot!!!"

I had my little visitor earlier in the week, 8 weeks old and gorgeous! I held him the whole time him and his mum were here, took his snowsuit (v cute) off and put it back on him when they went - It felt very natural holding him

pixiestix · 03/12/2009 12:17

Ok, I know this is a pathetic thing to be excited about but I have been faithfully POAS for my Clearblue Monitor every day this month, and today - day 13! - I got a "high" reading, hooray!! So for the first time in my entire life I know I am actually ovulating (or about to anyway). Amazing!

It does throw up a few worries in my mind (I am one of life's worriers ) because if I do ovulate mid cycle as this suggests then DH and I have been BDing right on target for the last three months and nothing has happened at all. Bodies are weird.

So, guess what I'll be doing for the next few days?

Can't believe how gloomy this weather is... an I'm supposed to be off on holiday this week - at home that is. Feeling sick on waking last 3 days and cramps low down. Driving me m.a.d. Off to see twilight at a mother and baby cinema wiht my friend and her little one. Not sure this is an entirely good thing.

Just wanted to pop my head in and let you know I am still checking in regularly, we have no internet at home at the moment and work is madly busy so not really having chance to post much but I am still checking in. Hello to any new people, sorry I havnt had chance to say a proper hello.

Sevans I am so sorry to hear your news, I hope you are following the advice of the others and resting and having some time to try to take care of yourself. As CJ says there is little we can do but we are all here is you need us xxxx

No much to report from me, AF now gone, getting back to BD'ing soon but unlikely to be ovulating until a week on saturday but hey we can have fun practicing!! Still feel sick every morning, only for first hour or so then ok but fully retching never sick. I have got a doctors appointment booked on Thursday so I shall see what he thinks.

Sevans I'm so sorry to hear your news. Take care of yourself honey and know that you're being thought of. I know there is little that can be said that will offer comfort at this time. Xxx

claireinthecommunity · 02/12/2009 01:49

Sevans, I think (and I'm sure others will too) that it's a good idea to take tomorrow off from work at least - stay home and look after yourself both physically and mentally. I hope the pain you are feeling starts to ease soon. Well done for coming on and posting how you are feeling, I can only imagine how it feels - take care x.

sevans · 02/12/2009 00:29

Hi girls. Thanks for the kind words. I'm thinking about missing work again tomorrow as the pain is still pretty bad. It's just a constant pain in my lower abdomen area. I haven't had heavy bleeding so I'm afraid it is still to come.

I was much prepared for the news given the bleeding and cramping I had over the weekend and this morning. I went to the doctor thinking there was a 90% chance of having a miscarriage. I handled the news very well at the doctor but as soon as I left I was in tears.

I just really hope the actual pain goes away soon. Nothing seems to help.

YorkshireTeaDrinker · 01/12/2009 23:06

So sorry Sevans . Do take some time out to look after yourself. Thinking of you.xx

Update on my state is that there is not much change. Still got cramps but as AF is due tomorrow, that's to be expected. I'm away with work, and I'm 150 miles away from home and my stash of cheap HPTs, so no testing until tomorrow evening for me! Strongly suspect AF will make an appearance before I get the chance to test.

NovemberAli · 01/12/2009 22:24

So sorry to hear your news Sevans . I agree with Spirael, you need to take some time for yourself right now. Thinking of you x
