A safe haven for those just off the mc rollercoaster and thinking about getting back on or are already on the TTC rollercoaster. Be warned these lovely ladies chat, and the thread moves lightening fast, but all are welcome to join in any time Smile

For those who have just mc'd, there is great info about your first cycle here

If you want to add yourself into the stats, just copy and paste the lot, change everyones CD (cycle day) if necessary and add yourself in.
WTF = first cycle after mc
WTTC = waiting to TTC
CD = cycle day

oooohhh im confussed i thought it was grapefruit juice?? Im very new to all this.
Also what vitamins should i be taking, im currently taking folic acid and multi vits.
Thanks and congrats ladygonegaga. X

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 15/11/2010 19:40

rach I think the accepted wisdom is grapefruit juice up to ovulation, pineapple juice afterwards. I have no idea whether there is any scientific basis for thus whatsoever but am in "try anything" mode Grin

am also taking pregnacare conception (which will get me my folic acid intake) a vit B complex and additional B6 to try to sort out my crappy luteal phase.

Also currently taking some algae tablets recommended by acupuncturist and protein supplement (but thinks that's because I'm veggie)

bizarrely, my MN persona is not vegetarian - I distinctly remember tucking into nicks' shepherds pie not long ago Hmm

mummya are you around? How did your appointment go today? Everything all set for tomorrow?

HidingInTheBackRow · 15/11/2010 19:51

Hurrah for LadyG Grin

I am just on the folic acid, I can barely remember to take that so really there is no chance for all the other bits...Hmm

Now I have had my BFN I am symptom spotting like crazy! Breasts started feeling sore today though I haven't decided if it is a pregnancy soreness or AF soreness. Also am crampy and my sleep patterns are shot. SO I am figuring something is going to happen soon...but what!? That is the question Grin

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 15/11/2010 19:54

hiding welcome to the world of mentalling! Grin

OrangeToeNails · 15/11/2010 19:57

Thanks LadyGoneGaga i've taken notes :)

Thanks to Izzy too, i'm gonna stock up. might need to start with the juice now so it's not too obvious

random thing to do, but has anyone google maps directions from japan to china? worth doing for line 43 Grin

appleblossoms · 15/11/2010 20:11

orange that's made my day! Been feeling miserable today and I just laughed out loud...think I might need to plan a roadtrip just to follow out said instruction!

dachs glad the transfer was quick and went well.... and as the others have said, it just takes one! fx for the 2ww, and good luck on not testing for a while! Wink

what a list izzy! Flip, you deserve a BFP for dedication!!

mummya been thinking of you today lovely, hope it went well.... is it a case of wait and see, or are the results obvious straight away?

ladygg woohoo! congratulations!! Welcome to the world of hormonal craziness and paranoia...tis muchos fun Hmm Wink

Welcome home mamap!! We have missed you!!! Am sad you didn't bring a sneaksy BFP back with you, but fx you get a nice post holiday present in a couple of weeks!

big hugs and waves to all!

nickstermum · 15/11/2010 20:17

before i do a proper catch up, (chattermonsters galore!)

dachs you sounded so fed up earlier. (((())))) I know 2 embryos doesnt sound much, but like wombo said it only takes one my lovely. Grade 2 can implant too :) wishing your little mini-dach-beans all the burrowing in the world. I hope your feet are up, pineapple juice by the gallon by the side of you, sweeties galore and a chick movie on the telly...snuggling your little mutts! :) thinking of you lots lovely x

nickstermum · 15/11/2010 20:20

inbetweener your doctor sounds like an arse, putting it bluntly! Putting you through all that stress unneccessarily. Relax if you can lady, happy mummytobe = happy bean :)

nickstermum · 15/11/2010 20:26

dachs Mamap and me all on the 2ww at the same time.... ish! oh how exciting! Heres hoping we get twins, one made in KL and one made in my newly (nearly wallpapered bedroom...how boring in comparison!!) Grin Grin

rachk32 · 15/11/2010 20:37

ahhh thanks, will pop into h/b tomorrow and get stocked up. Will also get some pinapple juice too, and fingers crossed i can join the pregnancy group in the new year, istead of the miscarriage and conception groups, no offence ladies, youve been a fab support. X

nickstermum · 15/11/2010 20:39

gonegagalady fantabulous news. Grin

apples how you doing lovely? caribou any news on that scan my chicka?

hairy how are you holding up?

Velvet i missed your post earlier, still high temps....like bee chanted last night, i think we are in for a little bfp in the next day or two Grin Grin Grin

oh i do hope so, and i hope its me (and dachs and mama and everyone..... in the next two to three weeks... oooh BFPs galore, we must be deserving of that santa

mummy hope you arrived safely gorgeous :) and are acclimatising nicely to the hideous weather! Thinking of you tomorrow for sure.

Izz good list!
Mine is Pregnacare, bcomplex (this helps with cell division too not just luteal phase.. for anyone considering it... i taking it due to my empty sac last tine)

Those who juicing... go easy on GF juice, it had an adverse effect on me last cycle...it increases your ewcm. Drink PJ by the gallon though, and dont forget your brazil nuts dachs and mamap (apparently they are full of selenium which helps the burrowing bean!)

I would add Essential Fatty Acids 3 6 9 to that. Helps balance hormones too. Cant remember exact reason, (i have run out damn!) plus makes for a brainy bean!!

And on that note... having had a monster day in MK again :( i am still blardy wallpapering! and then i have a yummy cottage pie to rustle up for tomorrows tea :)

AandRMum · 15/11/2010 20:51

hmm moment of contentment has gone out the window - am feeling extremely crabby and spent the day irrationally shouting at the DDs Sad Feel like the worst mummy in the world - am certain my af is coming - it better not arrive early grrr

MummyA was it today? I thought tomorrow Confused ... lots of good luck thoughts going your way.

orange love the directions - on my top list of things to do!!

Nix newly wallpapered room sounds like the perfect starting point for new beans (decided you are going to have twins with Dachs)

Waves to all

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 15/11/2010 21:03

AandRmum I think mummya's op is tomorrow but she had an appointment today.

Hope the temper is a symptom of pg and not af x

nicks I forgot the omega 3s I was taking...was also taking royal jelly (read somewhere it's supposed to be good for egg quality) but it was all getting too much so I cut that one out

I also think the new wallpaper is a good starting point...do you think it'll work with my new mattress too?!

orange that made me smile Grin

nickstermum · 15/11/2010 21:37

I have a new bed, but a couple of months ago.... Does that count?? Lush comfy memory foam mattress......

New bed / mattress new beans too :)

Waves to ar hellllooooo!
Twins would have loved twins, but if I had them now ds would get ignored! I will settle for one thanks Grin, just one Ickle lickle baybee

Pj tastes much nicer in a wine glass, ESP washing down brazil nuts!

nickstermum · 15/11/2010 21:39

Royal jelly izz?, wasn't it bees wax?? Confused

AandRMum · 15/11/2010 21:54

PJ taste best in a cocktail glass nix loaded with fruit on sticks that threaten to poke your eyes out whilst lying beside a pool with sexy man dh rubbing coconut oil in.

AandRMum · 15/11/2010 21:55

sexy man even

AandRMum · 15/11/2010 21:55

hmmm

appleblossoms · 15/11/2010 21:57

Oh dear, you can tell the kind of day i've had there was me thinking it was tuesday today. D'oh! Good luck for tomorrow mummya
inbetweener missed your post earlier...flipping doctor!! Hope you're not stressing yourself out too much hun, think the 2-3 week BFP says it all really.
As for me, I'm feeling less sick and tired and as am almost 10 weeks is the same as with ds and my mmc so i'm now flipping between enjoying feeling better and terrified it's all gone wrong. I had no bleeding last time so really have nothing to mark this as different, except the scan last week...keep reminding myself of that. Ah well, just 14 days till my next scan...sorry for moaning to you all!
nicks do you want to come do my house when you're finished? We've been in a year and most rooms are still the very boring white the previous owners splashed everywhere...

mousebacon · 15/11/2010 22:01

Good luck for tomorrow MummyA will be thinking about you x

Day 34 post erpc and still no egg in mousebacon house...

Gah! I know it's highly unlikely I'd get pg but I'd like an egg please (or two...)

dachs hope all goes well for you - have got my fingers crossed x

nickstermum · 15/11/2010 22:01
nickstermum · 15/11/2010 22:09

Ar don't worry about being crabby! Happens to us all! Give em a cuddle laced with bribery aka 3 choc stars and you will be let off Smile

AandRMum · 15/11/2010 22:15
IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 15/11/2010 22:23

nicks it was bee pollen but then I realised I had even less idea why I was taking that, so stopped [desparate and has tried everything emoticon]

((((big hugs))) to everyone who needs them, not forgetting our gorgeous graduates and a special ((hug)) for mummya before her op tomorrow x

AandRMum · 15/11/2010 22:37

One last try sexy man ... on verge of sleep and worked out what I was doing wrong! He is finally covered up ... hopefully.
