Hello from germany :)

Just wanted to say about the cough mixture - I used boots Nirolex - for chesty coughs. You just have to make sure that the ONLY active ingrediant is Guaifenesin. Dont get one for a blocked nose as it will containe pseudoephidrine (sp?) and that DRIES up secretions - clearly not what is wanted! I took 2 teaspoons twice a day about 5 days in the run up to OV. I did notice an increase in CM - I don't really have a lot, so it was easy for me to notice it. If it works or not is anyones guess - but now I am up duffed I recommend giving it a go!

Thanks again for all the congrats - I hope some of you come and join me soon! xx
However, I am still loitering around - far too early for me to bugger off yet xx

Well I am properly turning into a fatty (no surprise due to luxury cookie consumption) and have so far put about 1/2 a stone......but there are 2 beans in there, thats my excuse! Booked in with Bereavement Midwife (BM) yesterday, and ladies if you have access through your antenatal care to one please enquire already mine has been a godsend and she really put me at ease yesterday. Lots of hurdles still to jump for me though......the due date for my MMC is this coming Wed and I also turn 10 weeks which is when I started bleeding with DD2 :( Confused..........but I have 2nd trim loss consultant appoint next week together with BM which will help. Right enough of me......

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 21/08/2010 14:58

lottie - I think it was Robitussin (sp?) which you can get from Amazon for about £3.99, but the main thing is that the only active ingredient is guaifenesin, which I think is also the case with Sainsburys own brand but at about half the price and no postage costs. Have not tried it myself though so please someone correct me if I'm wrong!

hairytriangle · 21/08/2010 15:18

Waves at magic8 and bites into goodies. So exciting having you expecting twinnies :)

I am still resisting poas but will do in the morning. I'm cd 22 today (I think!).

U just text my pregnant sister to see if she things kfc cravings n spotty boobs might be signs lol

hairytriangle · 21/08/2010 15:19

I just text her I mean ... Blooming phone!

hairytriangle · 21/08/2010 17:01

lol she thinks it could be... or it could be a lame excuse.

Why isn't there anyone around to haddock me!

DachshundsRule · 21/08/2010 17:04

consider yourself well and truly haddocked

Magic8ballhastheanswers · 21/08/2010 17:29

LottieCrump · 21/08/2010 17:41

LOL Magic - Love that!

Thanks for cough med info, I'll pop to Sainsburys tomoz.

Moofold · 21/08/2010 20:33

lottie it was Jollster. I asked her about the cream a few weeks back and she sent me this link on facebook. Hope it works here, am rubbish with these things:
www.progesterone.co.uk/

I ordered some yesterday so will see how it goes. LucyS I'm having similar trouble. Was convinced I was about to OV, peed on an OPK this morning - negative and EWCM promptly disappears without trace. What else can I expect on the WTF cycle i guess. Its just as well really since i'm waiting and was getting tempted.

Lottie, Dacsh and owl you are making me think about my name. Maybe a wee change would do me good.......

Moofold · 21/08/2010 20:34

PS, its the Serenity cream you want

PinkFondantFancy · 21/08/2010 21:53

Hope you're all having a nice evening! I'm having a chilled out at home which is v nice. Have developed extreme envy though - am watching grand designs and they have built a beautiful lochside house but more to the point they've got 2 children and one on the way :-( I'm perfectly happy in my little terrace but am v. jealous of their family. Hmmmm sounds ridiculous now I've actually written it down :-(

randomimposter · 21/08/2010 22:09

thanks Moof for sending info to lottie - just to say you should use it in 2nd half of cycle, once you know you've ovulated (otherwise it can interrupt ov), then you use twice a day until you get to CD1... if you get a BFP you use until you are 12 weeks. I'm not really a great advert for it :(.... (only started on last pg) but many swear by it.

PFF - just saw that GD too. Amazing location. Not ridiculous to feel like that; some families do seem to grow without drama, though not many sadly.

magic gimme the cookies...

PinkFondantFancy · 21/08/2010 22:22

Where have those cookies got to??! Is someone hogging them??! Mmmmm chocolate cookies :-D

LottieCrump · 22/08/2010 00:29

Bulk buy OPK POAS in bathroom - check
Preseed - check
Brazil nuts - check
Pineapple juice - check
Serenity progesterone cream ordered - check
Cough mixture - on To Do list for tomorrow

My holiday happens to coincide with CD 9 so let the assisted SWI commence. Ooh hope progesterone cream arrives in time (excellent a new thing to obsess worry think about) ... .

Just back from supper with next door neighbours (who are good friends). Anybody else still up?

hairytriangle · 22/08/2010 05:52

Happy to be on haddock duty. I am not pregnant this month. Lay awake most of night as could test this morning using first response. Am utterly gutted and fed up. Need to find a way to rely on missed period only as this is doing my head in :(

PrettyVacant1 · 22/08/2010 08:10

I'm sorry Hairy

Thanks pv i'm losing any faith I had that I can do this. I'm frigging 42 after all :(

VivClicquot · 22/08/2010 09:26

lottie if you want to add anything else to your shopping list, this month I've taken evening primrose oil capsules for the two weeks up to ov, and both DH & I have been on zinc capsules too. In addition to the Boots cough medicine that Battery mentioned, the grapefruit juice and brazil nuts... Blush

hairy are you sure you're out if you tested early? Try not lose faith, lovely x

Morning all x

VivClicquot · 22/08/2010 09:27

How are you doing on the fish front, PV? I fear I need trotting today

VivClicquot · 22/08/2010 09:28

Damn iPhone. That should have read 'trouting'

batteryhen · 22/08/2010 09:33

hairy - think you might have teasted too early, and to be honest I do not rate first response. The most sensitive one I think is super drug.

When I MC - the hospital said to me that my urine test was negative, but I had done a superdrug one that morning and was still positive, so I think they are more sensitive than the ones the hospital used xx don't lose faith till AF arrives xx

Morning everyone else xx

viv I am not temping anymore, did mine this morning, and had a slight dip so it is just stressing me out!!xx

VivClicquot · 22/08/2010 09:51

Mine was still up this morning - in fact the highest it's been (albeit by 0.02 degrees!). But I'm only 11 dpo so not sure it should be falling yet anyway?

randomimposter · 22/08/2010 09:51

hairy just to echo what's been said really. I scrolled back and you're only CD23? Too early to be sure I'd have thought?

glad it was a typo viv, thought you'd turned into My Little Pony overnight....

morning all x

PrettyVacant1 · 22/08/2010 10:09

Grin@ Vivs trotts.
< Throws a few of my Shubunkins Vivs way >

I'm a little meh tbh.
Don't know if I'm going to play for 26,28 or 29 CD this month.
I may put it all on the red and wait till Fri till I poas. Hmm
The funny sensory suprises have stopped.
I don't feel particularly psychotic, in fact I feel like I've swallowed the Little Book Of Calm.
Don't know how long it will last for though. Grin

Mood swings anyone? Grin
