Just seen this fertility protocol and thought of you all. It looks extensive but maybe some ideas we can all borrow!

beangrower · 11/02/2012 20:02

Oh yes - I've seen this one. I think a lot of these are included in good tailored supplements like Zita West, but was useful to know things like the eve prim oil for EWCM - first half of cycle etc. I also got the idea to take q10 from this FF post.

Another one recommended on here is wheatgrass.

My DP takes the mickey-finn when he notices the gloriously weird and wonderful tabs/potions I take in the morning...

NoMaybeAboutIt · 12/02/2012 09:00

Morning all, how are we?

Thanks for that protocol Generic, I shall have a proper gander at that.

Sounds like you had a good day yesterday Bean any nice plans for today? I look forward to the day I can stick cabbage leaves in my bra Grin then DH will really think I have lost it!

How are you feeling today Sweetie?

And you Pop and Cakes?

I got so excited this morning over my temps see here only to find AF has snuck in. I am very confused. Still very sore boobs, no cramps and no pre-AF spotting. And a temp rise?

beangrower · 12/02/2012 09:06

Oh Maybe - I really thought you were diffed. I agree, your chart says so... how weird. Keep taking your temps to see if they drop below the coverline. It is possible that you could be pg but having a light bleed..?

More work for me today but maybe a late afternoon visit from friends. The boys will prob go to the allotment.

I'm expecting AF imminently too so will try to keep in synch with you. Smile

GreenOlives · 12/02/2012 09:28

Yummy! Thanks for the breakfast Bean Wink

Maybe I wonder could it be a little bean burrowing in and causing some bleeding? I really think you should PIAR to be sure! I'm no chart expert so I can't help on that front but I think a test would be worthwhile!

Was at work for long shift yesterday but today we are off out for dinner for my Mums birthday which should be lovely. Then a nice quiet Sunday night in with some decent TV is planned! Am hoping to win some sofas on Ebay too - we have decided to convert our dining room into a family/play room so need more sofas for that. I'm brooking hard for a bargain! Grin

NoMaybeAboutIt · 12/02/2012 09:48

It is strange isn't it? DH is still convinced I am diffed too. I will keep temping and see what happens

Sounds like you have a lovely day planned Olives Not sure what we are up to yet. We were going to take pup on a lovely river walk, but we have had more snow/freezing rain, and our route is like a death trap! Sure we will find something nice to do though Smile Sounds like you are going to nab yourself a nice little bargain there too! I shall brook for you too!

SweetieDoesIt · 12/02/2012 09:49

Morning all
Maybe that chart does look really good, are you sure it is AF? I am a chart newbie but Imps or Stasi may know more. I am pretty sure temps should drop not rise when AF arrives.

Generic thanks for posting that info, I am going to print and have a good read. I have just got some Evening Primrose Oil as the Zita West book also suggest this to help with EWCM production.

Olives have a nice dinner at your Mums, and fx you win your sofas.

bean hope you have a lovely day digging down the alotment.

We are out this afternoon as one of my friends is having a 40th party. I have already send a video recorded message to her DH, so I would imagine there will be a montage of some sort. We had the M&S Valentine Meal last night but I am trying to get my BMI lower (I don't want to be vulnerable to NHS guideleines if treatment required) so only had the steak and a few chips. Dieting is so dull, never mind it will be worth it in the long run.

beangrower · 12/02/2012 10:27

Good luck olives like the sound of your family room.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 12/02/2012 13:35

Hope you have a lovely time at the party Sweetie We also had that M&S meal on Friday, though I too had no chips, just a nice salad. I'm sure you will keep your BMI in check, try not to diet as such, try and change your eating habits in general. Then it won't feel like such a chore Smile

Bean hope the book is coming along nicely. I haven't tested, no. Am a bit frightened too, incase this will be a chemical. No more blood, was just a big red spot of it. All I have (if anything) is a bit of brown CM. Delightful Wink I had never heard of vanishing twin syndrome, just had a google - very interesting.

beangrower · 12/02/2012 13:49

Maybe - sounds like you are PG. I really, really hope so. I think you should do a test and find out. Even a chemical is positive in a way - at least you are getting closer to a sticky bean.

My new old CBFM is now in action. I feel a little sad but much less than previous months when I didn't know that we had a male fertility issues. I've just got to be super positive - DP is doing everything he can. Patience etc.

Saw my friend on Friday who conceived her first at 44 (gave birth at 45) - and he is such a gorgeous child. Now 2.5yo and has amazing vocab. She is so positive and she gives me inspiration.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 12/02/2012 17:05

I'm pleased you are feeling more positive Bean, it will happen this year. Especially with the new old CBFM in action Smile Your friend sounds amazing, and is an inspiration to us all.

I will see what is happening tomorrow and then test. I have funny pains in my bikini line. Not painful as such but strange. Feels funny if I cough or sneeze. Got to love the new symptoms that are thrown up Wink

beangrower · 12/02/2012 18:38

Good luck tomorrow Maybe. We will get there this year I promise! Smile

cakes82 · 12/02/2012 18:41

Maybe I had strange feelings in my bikini line before, so,,, POAS :o

CupcakesAndCocktails · 12/02/2012 18:47

Very quick post to say POAS Maybe or else! Grin

Loopyhasanotherbean · 12/02/2012 19:53

Hello to everyone I am on my phone so will catch up properly tomorrow but thought I would update you, nonchalance = 3 well timed bonks this weekend, woo hoo!

OP posts:
GenericDietCola · 12/02/2012 20:34

Maybe you really sound very pregnant to me. PIAR tomorrow please!

Far - that is ace! Is it weird that I actually wondered if you had got any action this weekend? You will definitely be pregnant this time with your keeper-baby and I shall brook no argument!

Bean sorry re AF but hurrah re new toy aka instant baby getting machine aka CBFM!

Sweetie diets are poo (I really should lose some weight too) but I hope you enjoy the party.

Green your house plans sound lovely. Hope you got the sofas! We are thinking about moving house to get a family room/playroom and maybe an extra bedroom. What with the fact that I will be having another baby and all that.

SWI has begun - hurrah - and will continue this week on holidays - double hurrah! See you all on Friday unless I get time to pop in in the morning. Oh what am I saying? I will be popping in in the morning to check Maybe's BFP!

beangrower · 12/02/2012 20:50

Thanks all for CBFM encouragement.

And we're all dying to hear about Maybe's BFP tomorrow.

xxxx

GreenOlives · 12/02/2012 21:14

Can't wait until tomorrow for the BFP maybe I'm sending all my brooking powers your way Wink

I knew the laid back approach would do it Far, great work on well timed shagging!

I always start every week with healthy eating intentions Sweetie but within a couple of days I am back to being naughty! Had a huge sharer starter to day then a roast dinner big enough to share as well

scarletfingernail · 12/02/2012 21:51

Brooking for you maybe It all sounds very positive.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 12/02/2012 22:08

Ah, you lot Grin

I hope very much you are all right, though I am not too sure...

Far loving the new tactics, and am so pleased they are paying off Wink

Olives boo to losing the sofa, I think you need that cheesecake. Plus, you get a handy little ramekin at the end of it Grin

Generic so pleased that SWI has recommenced! BFP winging its way to you!

Bean you're just plain lovely.

Cakes it's a really weird sensation. Either it is a stretching pain, of Jillian Michaels has helped me discover a new muscle Grin

Loooopy how are you? And Cakes?

NoMaybeAboutIt · 12/02/2012 23:59

I fear it will be cd1 in the morrow ladies, feeling a bit crampy. Just so no one gets too excited Grin. But november babies are the best Wink

Night smacketeers x

BeedleTheBard · 13/02/2012 03:57

Brooking for you maybe, i hope there will be ramekin action later today.

And nonchalance rocks far

Long day today so will catch up tonight

NoMaybeAboutIt · 13/02/2012 07:43

Morning all, sorry to be a party pooper, but temp has dropped below baseline, so I am expecting the witch to rock up any time now. But I am due to ovulate on the 29th Feb. Got to be something in that surely Grin

Bean you and I are cycle buddies. I feel a leap year baby coming.

Thanks for all your brooking ladies, as they say, onwards and upwards, stiff upper lip and all that jazz Grin

GenericDietCola · 13/02/2012 08:36

Ah Maybe sorry to hear that, but it's not over til the red lady shows up. Hope she stays away!
