Right I'm going to be bold and start a new thread to drum up some energy for anyone ttc a Jan / Feb / Spring 2013 baby.

Does anyone want to join me on this flight?

I guess you're taking sick leave from work?

Crazy not wishing to piss on your chips but I read, and have found, that B6 needs to be taken as part of a B vitamin complex. I found it has made a difference this month when I have been taking a complex rather than last month when I was taking B6 on its own.

Crazytictac · 27/05/2012 22:05

Oooh right. Back to H & B for me! Thanks pip

lime you're better than me. I iron on an as and when basis Blush

SilentMammoth · 27/05/2012 22:18

You're all better than me. I don't iron at all!

Well, my big news is I haven't bf DD4 (16mo) for 36 hours. She's not best impressed but we're getting there.

Went to church this am and the sermon was really relevant to me I thought today. The preacher was talking about God's soveignty (sp!?!) over everything that happens in our lives. And I thought about that how it related to ttc and that really helped. I shouldn't be so impatient selfish anyway; I've been blessed with four lovely girls and I am so grateful for them. If I don't have any more and God's decided that's it for me, well, I need to be grateful, say thank you and focus on bringing them up them best way that I can.

LLL glad the gardenong was satisfying!
Pip this all sounds confusing for you. Are you going to see what happens with your temp tomorrow?

Pipbin · 27/05/2012 22:28

Silent I'm glad you found comfort and guidance today in church.
Yes I'm going to see what tomorrow brings. I thinking a lower temp and AF.
I think it's just the Vit B having made my LP longer.

LimeLeafLizard · 27/05/2012 23:35

I iron as little as possible but there were a few unavoidable items this evening! And I did them grudgingly.

Mammoth it sounds trite when we tell people to 'count their blessings' but there is actually a really good point in there about remembering to value what we already have. Didn't realise you were bf-ing - you might find you get a fertility boost next cycle now you are stopping. I stopped with DS2 at 14 months and conceived the next cycle, so they are 2 years apart in age. Hope DD4 settles tonight and tomorrow.

Good luck tomorrow Pip.

Pipbin · 28/05/2012 07:51

Well I have a drop in temp, but no AF.

Pipbin · 28/05/2012 18:59

She has arrived.

Pipbin · 28/05/2012 18:59

Anyone else still about or have we all jumped ship?

SilentMammoth · 28/05/2012 19:12

I'm here echoey voice. Sorry about the witch Pip, especially with that chart. Are you OK< how are you feeling?

Crazytictac · 28/05/2012 19:28

Oh pipbin how utterly crap :(. It was looking so promising too.

Pipbin · 28/05/2012 19:57

Well to be honest the chances were slim as we had hardly DTD at all.
I was very down on Sunday but I'm OK now.

It was looking good though.
On the up side the B Complex has meant that I have had a 13, nearly 14, LP and much less spotting.

LimeLeafLizard · 28/05/2012 20:04

Hello, I'm still here Smile. So sorry to hear about AF Pipbin but I guess you've known for a day or so now. At least you have the positive about longer LP / less spotting to hold on to.

Not much news here... 6dpo.

OP posts:
Pipbin · 28/05/2012 20:10

Lime, it was starting to get a bit raggedy here on the sleigh so I have started an Easter thread.

Yes i did know for a few days, but it's still disappointing. If I can persuade myself that this counts only as spotting for today then it'll mean a 14 day LP, which I'd be very happy with.

Purpledragon · 28/05/2012 20:14

Sorry Pipbin hard to believe with your chart, must feel crappy. I'm often in two minds bout charting post-ov, this makes me more so. Sorry again.

Crazytictac · 28/05/2012 20:14

Well that's not to be sniffed at eh pipbin, things going in the right direction at least.

Blimey limeleaf 6 DPO already? That's come around quickly (maybe not for you!).

Nothing much to report here either. Waiting for AF to clear off. Got ages until ovulation so just pootling along. 2 of my friends have had babies in the last week and another is due next week. Making me even broodier!

Purpledragon · 28/05/2012 20:22

lime I'm 8dpo max perhaps 6 or 7. Charting and shagging, bit of a mess this month. Of course I end up will the hope that the most unlikely month is the one that works. God, it doesn't let up does it? All the things that could have gone wrong went wrong. Meh.

SilentMammoth · 28/05/2012 21:25

I'm 12 dpo.not feeling very optimistic this month as getting odd twinges.working tomorrow then eight days off so will distract myself with work tomorrow and if af hasn't turned up well test on wed.bet she turns up tomorrow though.

SilentMammoth · 28/05/2012 21:26

Clearly I am attempting to use the word "tomorrow"as many times as possible in one convoluted sentence!

Treats · 28/05/2012 21:32

Hello, hello!

Been away for the weekend, so sorry I haven't been around. Just trying to catch up now.

Pipbin - I'm so sorry that AF got you. The GOOD thing about temping is that you're much better informed about what's going on. The BAD thing is that you have so much more information to try and interpret. I know that it drives me insane to have that constant "I've had a small temp drop, but no spotting, so perhaps that means...." conversation going on in my head, and it must have been like that for you in the last couple of days. Hope you're having some Wine to help you through.....

Spring - it's still not necessarily bad news you know? Some people bleed intermittently throughout their pregnancies. The fact that it's not constant and isn't getting worse sounds very positive. I wish you could have an earlier scan, but I can also sort of see from the hospital's point of view why they won't give you one. Fx for Thursday - only 50 and a half hours away.......

Mammoth - I totally relate to what you're saying about being aware of the good things we do have. I've been so much better at spending time with DD - REALLY spending time with her - and actually talking to her and having conversations, than I was before we lost DS. Part of that is because she's older but it's also because I now realise what a precious gift she is. And I'm determined that I won't allow my longing for another baby to take over my life to the extent that it would be harmful for her.

Yes - I'm part of a choir and I've been in their shows before. I missed last year's because I was pregnant, but they started rehearsing for this show exactly six weeks after DS was here, and it was just what I needed at the time. A project to focus on so that TTC wouldn't take over my life; something to get me out of the house every week; and time to spend with people I already knew - not having to make the effort to get to know new people. It's been a life saver and I'm going to feel quite bereft when it's all over.

But then - the following week - I have my next accountancy exam........

LimeLeafLizard · 28/05/2012 22:30

Treats you have a great way with words, you come across as very empathetic. Smile The choir sounds great. I have a friend who does something similar and it always seems like a lovely hobby. What is your exam?

Purple So we'll be testing about the same time then? I'll be away over the Jubilee weekend so will test probably a week on Weds - if AF doesn't show when I'm away. And yes, Crazy it does seem to have come around quickly this cycle - been so busy!

babaloulou · 28/05/2012 22:58

what a shame pipbin but great news about your lp. how long have you been taking vitamin b6? i started it after my miscarriage this month impatiently waiting to see if/it takes to work.

babaloulou · 28/05/2012 23:00

silent look forward to hearing your poas results on Wednesday. good luck.

Purpledragon · 29/05/2012 05:36

lime yes if it comes to that, I will be most happy to test at the same time as you! Wednesday following next w/e I'll be properly late by then, if I am, if you see what I mean.

LimeLeafLizard · 29/05/2012 10:03

Great Purple, its a date!

Mammoth you're up next, I think?! Hope you are busily distracted today!
