Ted - I think relaxing about it is a good idea if it helps your relationship.

Joyful - congratulations! Fab news! And thanks for thinking of me :)

Thanks morecoffee I will take it easy today.

It's strange - I was more upset when we first started TTC. Now I don't have hope every month :( I know that sounds defeatist but I can't imagine it happening to me anymore.

morecoffeemorecoffee · 09/06/2012 14:10

queen just had a look at your pics. I would say that those are pregnant lines! Big congrats! Now go and buy a big pile of pregnancy mags and put your feet up! :)

KickTheGuru · 09/06/2012 14:11

I feel the same winkle. I have given up now. I guess some people get it and some people don't...

winkle2 · 09/06/2012 14:13

:( @ kick. I try and tell myself that it'll be a happy surprise when it happens.

I just can't picture myself with a baby in my arms anymore :(

morecoffeemorecoffee · 09/06/2012 14:19

Oh winkle, it will happen for you, I'm sure.

tedagree about the relaxing bit. I'be been at the point of giving up the last few months. This cycle, was going to dtd as much as possible, was going to temp, was going to use Ov sticks etc. In the end did not temp or use opks at all. we dtd a fair bit but mostly when we fancied and then had a few days off. When I got the ewcm we went for it every day. Just have to see if it was enough....

morecoffeemorecoffee · 09/06/2012 14:19

kick how long have you been ttc?

KickTheGuru · 09/06/2012 14:29

We've been monitoring and preparing for over a year now. I don't get positive OV smileys. I get no real indication that my body does anything different.

Much like Winkle, I think I've just lost the excitement. I think last month battered me a bit. I just can't see it happening really

KickTheGuru · 09/06/2012 14:35

I know its not that long. But I always thought I was infertile.

Maybe I just need to drop the dream and face reality :)

JoyfulJoyful · 09/06/2012 15:01

Kick I'm really sorry you feel this way and totally insensitive of me to Sk you questions whilst down. It will happen, I promise! You are not infertile. It may be taking longer than it should but you will get pregnant, carryto term and have as many babies as you desire. This goes for you too Winkle and any other lady struggling with TTC.

winkle2 · 09/06/2012 15:08

I get positive smileys so I guess that's something!

Kick - have you been to the docs? I'll be going in August cause that will be a year for us (although we only actively started trying in Jan before that we were seeing what happened).

JoyfulJoyful · 09/06/2012 15:09

That's what I keep telling myself so it's got to happen

QueenOfTheDrama · 09/06/2012 16:19

kick winkle and others... I'm really sorry that you're feeling so down. This ttc lark really takes it out of you, I know exactly how you're feeling right now. DH & I tried for over a year without so much as a whiff of a bfp until this month. You get to the stage where you think its not going to happen, but then it does!

Feel really awful saying now but I couldn't wait so I just took a digital test and got my BFP, DH & I are over the moon Smile Still in shock though, after so many months of nothing I just can't believe that its finally happened for us. Now I just need to hang onto it!

Congratulations joyful Smile

NicolaHazel · 09/06/2012 16:33

Congrats Queen and Joyful :-)

morecoffeemorecoffee · 09/06/2012 16:51

Congrats queen and joyful!

Kick, I know its hard, but don't give up. Dh and I have been ttc for 18 months. I've been so close to giving up. After my chemical pregnancy last month I was such a mess, totally distraught. If it happens again this month I don't know what I will do... Although I do have my 1st appt at fertility clinic next week so hopefully they will be able to help if it all goes wrong again.

F xd for everyone

Christelle2207 · 09/06/2012 17:05

winkle feel bad for you hun but looks like I might be keeping you company on the July thread because I've had some bleeding so AF finally here. Not surprised but pissed off as I've been driving myself crazy with various symptoms since Wednesday - why do I let myself do this? At least I feel some relief that we can look forward to next cycle now.
I know how you feel it's not fair and I like you wonder if it will ever happen ( dh is more positive). Good news however is we're on the list for fertility clinic now so fingers crossed they will be able to help.

I actually feel my whole life is on hold until I get a BFP.

Christelle2207 · 09/06/2012 17:06

Ps well done joyful looks like this is a lucky thread for many:-)

winkle2 · 09/06/2012 17:39

congrats Queen on getting it confirmed on a digi!

Sorry she got your Christelle :(

I spoke to my hubby and have decided this defeatist attitude is not going to get me anywhere! Had a little cry earlier (whilst reading the reviews on Amazon about the Clearblue Fertility Monitor!) and have picked myself up for next month.

tedmundo · 09/06/2012 18:09

@Queen .. well done on the BFP! The digi does not lie!

@Christelle .. so sorry for you. Good attitude about the cycle starting new. On the mc thread they always say .. Congrats you are now 1 day pregnant .. to be positive about it.

QueenOfTheDrama · 09/06/2012 18:09

thank you winkle Glad that you're feeling positive for next cycle, keep doing what you're doing and it will happen soon. All I did was shag loads and winkled each time! So in a way you helped get me pg Grin

QueenOfTheDrama · 09/06/2012 18:11

thanks ted Smile

sorry that af got you christelle I know what you mean, it feels like your whole life revolves around ttc. It can get you down sometimes Sad

KickTheGuru · 09/06/2012 18:31

I really am thrilled for you laydees with the bfps and sorry for my bitch mememe sessions

as winkle says - no point in being defeatist

So back to the celebrations!!

KickTheGuru · 09/06/2012 18:33

And YAY for digital confirmation!!

I wish there was a happy dance emoticon

winkle2 · 09/06/2012 18:38

Queen - aw that's nice to think that I helped!

Anyone know how much Evening Primrose Oil you are supposed to take?
And also why Vitamin B6 is good?

And also (sorry for all the questions!) I started taking Boots folic acid then after 6 months of that I switched to Sanatogen mum 2 b and then when that finished (after a month) I switched to Pregnacare. Is this ok? Or should I be consistent with what I'm taking and stop switching brands / products?

KickTheGuru · 09/06/2012 18:46

I think its the max dose on the box so normally 3000mg

i have been chopping and changing too but got pregnacare for couples this month.

Not sure about B6 but thought its meant to help with baby brain Formation and your morning sickness

winkle2 · 09/06/2012 18:47

Hubbys had zinc and is now on wellman conception.

Not sure what to do re supplements.
