Hello!
May I join you? Mc in Jan, Couple of months of insanity. Now ready to get back in the saddle, so to speak.
Am a bit of a lurker but am hoping for a bit of a positive kick up the bum.
So hello all and good luck.

mamarara welcome so sorry for your loss. the ladies here are lovely so feel free to rant or ask questions as necessary.

bump grapefruit juice is supposed to help with the production of cm. basically it's supposed to give you more of it, which is good as it boths help determine what part of cycle you're on and also the better quality and amount can keep the little swimmers aound for longer.

minnie bless for dh giving up strong coffee.

olismum23 · 08/04/2011 17:13

Before i start sorry for the me me me

Thanks to the conservative party that's me down 60 quid a week because my DH earned 1000 pound more than he should have last year in bonus (he is not a banker he is only a call centre worker on 14k, im on IB(depression)). Now we are in a great mess where DH cant afford to get his work because they have took it of us I just feel lately it is one thing after another, I feel like screaming!!!!!!!!!!!!

meliesmummy · 08/04/2011 17:41

Minnie, I've been trying the same with my dh but he loves his coffee, he really cut back before the mc but then he read somewhere that caffeine can help sperm motility so I'm not really winning that one! I've as good as given up my diet coke though which has not been easy!

Hi mama, make yourself comfy x

olis that's awful, how will you manage?

Well, I'm tempting sods law...just been to town and bought summer clothes, so if I'm pg they won't fit for long! Then we had yummy crepes on the way back to the car, off home to jump it off on the trampoline!

bump don't get amazon cheapies - they haven't detected O this month and dodnt really detect I was pregnant until way after FR etc, I'd defs go smiley face digital. Good luck mellies I'll be joining you eith frantic symptom spotting, who else is 2WW?

One question from me in case anyone experiences it, does anyone bleed day of or day after ovulation? I get it every month even when not TTC so its not implantation, way too early but not sure why I get it or if it effects ttc - any advice welcome!! Good weekends girls x

brooke89 · 08/04/2011 21:24

melies yeah you did ttc1 and im cd5 :)
blackat hellllooooo, how is everything going?? xxx
That's so shit olis I hope you both work something out!
Welcome mamarara :)

Its meant to be a beautiful day tomorrow :) so lots of Wine or juice Hmm and a bbq xx

cep · 09/04/2011 07:55

oli sorry you're having money troubles at the moment. you say it's cause dh earned an extra £1000 last year, is it tax credits claiming it back?

loup is it a lot? some women get a bit of blood from when the egg is released from the ovary. It's normal for thsoe women. i don;t think it ends to be a lot though.

mel glad you enjoyed shopping, mmmmm crepes.

Chloe55 · 09/04/2011 09:58

Morning ladies,

Just a quickie, sorry not to name check but hope everyone is doing well. I caved, I POAS, it was negative, I expected that. Had to cave though as am on second installment of friend's CDWM experience tonight and I know the wine will be flowing Wink

wellieboots · 09/04/2011 11:12

Back to the bottom of the class for me I'm afraid - AF turned up this morning, feel free to let me know if I've got anyone wrong as I've never done the list before, stitch I thought you had got a BFP but thought maybe you don't want to move yet?:

Happy Sunday everyone!

ochaye i left a note on the other thread saying how sorry i was hon to hear your news. i hope you have lots of support in rl.

harassed i read that pineapple juice should only drunk upto ov, because the theory is that p juice helps the womb to contract hence they say drinking a lot helps nearer the due date. (Although i then discovered the amount you need to drink to actually start labour is immense.) but i stopped drinking it when i thought i'd ov'd. see here

chloe sorry about bfn but i hope you had a good night.

thumbwitch · 10/04/2011 14:07

Gosh, I didn't know that about the grapefruit and pineapple juices. Anyone know if pink grapefruit juice will do, or does it have to be white? I don't really like white grapefruit but can stomach the pink juice. That's if I can find it - don't recall having seen any here in Oz!

So - sorry to hear you MC'd again, Ochaye - I think I was about week 9 as well, but not sure as my dates were a bit up in the air - was waiting for the dating scan to let me know, but as it turned out by the time that happened I'd had a complete MC so nothing was there. The previous week's scan showed a 5w gestational sac, which didn't fit with my dates at all, and HCG for 4w, which fit even less so I knew then that it was a lost cause and sure enough it all passed later that day. Slightly longer than last time - which was bang on 8w, it was as though I'd just missed a period (but had tested pos so knew I was pg).

Am already on supplements, clean water, cleanest possible food - didn't know about the juices so will get onto that, and also get DH onto supplements as well.

cep · 10/04/2011 15:03

thumb pink is supposed to be just as good, i had pink. pommegranate juice is supposed to be good as well. not from concentrate.

cep · 10/04/2011 15:03

sorry not from concentrate is best.

thumbwitch · 10/04/2011 15:15

Ah I love pomegranate juice - maybe I'll try that instead of the grapefruit, I've definitely seen that here! Thanks cep :)

cep · 10/04/2011 17:18

if you can get pink grapefruit i'd still get that as well, as it helps cm. (can't quite remember what pomegranate juice does, it helps us in some way and also helps blokes little swimmer so get dh to drink some as well.) where do you live? i used to down a glass of p/grapefruit juice. pineapple juice and pomegranate juice. i swished when i left the house. Grin "i can hear the ocean"

gimme fmu is first morning urine. sorry yourdc's have all been ill.
Thankfully (touch wood) he seems to be over the worst, only seems to wake 1-2 a week rather than every night that he was doing before. He woke yesterday cause he needed a poo, did it in his nappy, then came in to me. (dh was in with dss) i decided to let him stay in with me otherwise he'd have run all over the house for the rest of the night. He was really good stayed lying down said something a couple of times but shushed when i said shush, but it took him ages to fall back to sleep, at least an hour, he just couldn't drop off again. I'm sorry you fell apart at work, just remember it is perfectly normal to be all over the place.

Hi Ladies. AF got me yesterday so now on CD2 :(

IAFUDS sorry AF got you :(

chloe sorry for BFN

gimmie minnie thumb cep mellies collie wellies brooke loup and any one i have missed hope you are well

Minnie74 · 10/04/2011 22:11

Evening

chloe boo to bfn

ochaye sorry for your loss-hope you're ok

Feeling a bit weird today- should be af but no sign apart from a little cramping. Usually pretty regular too and would be full on feminax by now!. Strange CM (tmi sorry) Don't want to test cos don't really want to see a bfn, thought I might wait a bit and see if af turns up in a couple of days first. Being a bit of a wuss I know! Have no tests either, mind you!

Been searching for wedding venues and everywhere is so expensive. Its second time round for both of us so we don't really want a massive do but even small ones are looking too much. We've decided to give ttc till sept and then book early nxt year if I'm not pg-might be cheaper then!
