Kitty are you a real kitty cat? It is the only way to explain why you are trying for no 232. Grin

redstrawberry · 24/06/2012 20:39

I think it's best to stick fingersninnyournears lolly I'm not going to stop drinking till I get a bfp. No point in putting your life on hold.
However I'm not a regular drinker of wine, just the odd glass or two on a weekend.

Happy shagathon and hope Dh feels better soon :)

I am debating whether or not to invest in opks? Would it just confuse me more? I'm only predicting OV using CM signs.

kittykatsforever · 24/06/2012 20:43

You can buy totally natural hayfever remedies at the chemist, I got some while pg and they worked quite well, says on the pack can be used in pregnancy and bf so sure that would be ok for him
As for tee total, there have always been articles like this but I tried abstaining with dh while trying to concieve number one, we were both miserable in the end and it didn't work, dd conceived in Xmas while we had a break and alot of alcohol!!
Just saying Wink

kittykatsforever · 24/06/2012 20:50

Red I'd try for a month if only to see by your estimates if your signs are right, I've never charted or known about the other ( down there ) stuff with ov but find the tests really easy and have worked every month for me, I was alot later then I figured as with the length on my cycle when I first used packs I had to start a second pack as was later then expected, after that it's always pretty much between the same 3 days every month, it adds to the excitement too If your sad like me when you get a pos result lolGrin

Christelle2207 · 24/06/2012 20:50

red I get them from amazon and they're very cheap so might useful as a second opinion. Like £10 for 30? Order from "home health" who also do hpt cheapies.

Re the alcohol question done quite a bit of research and concluded that a bit- until you get BFP- is fine. Caffeine on the other hand is very bad for fertility (and not best for pregnancy either), past 2-3 cups a day. So other than the first cuppa of a day, both dh and I are on decaf!

Christelle2207 · 24/06/2012 20:51

"red" I was making it up they are in fact £5-6 for 30. And if you have a good idea when you ov you should only use up 5 or 6 per month.

DulcetMoans · 24/06/2012 20:53

I have just been got by AF this weekend so adding myself on for next month. Happy to be along for the virtual ride!

Ok I shall go with the 'no harm in trying' theory and purchase a pack from amazon.

Thanks christelle and kittykat...I'm one def looking fwd to poas and getting a pos OV result.

I'm also on herbal teas n very low caffeine.

kittykatsforever · 24/06/2012 21:18

Me too, decaf tea and no caffeine diet coke although again I was on about 6 cups of tea aday when pg first time, switched after pg and can't tell the difference so never went back
Why is poas so much fun lol

lollypopsicle · 24/06/2012 21:21

Yeah, I'm defo in the 'you can't put your life on hold in constant hope' camp. DS was conceived in an alcoholic haze Blush. I was horrified at the thought of how much I'd drank in the 2WW but he's a fine specimen now Grin, we had been trying but I'd written off that month due to illness and not DTD enough.

As for caffeine, I've cut down for a few years now just for general health sake.

kitty, judging by your # typos, looks like a case of iphoneitis. I get that that Wink Good idea to try herbal remedies for hayfever. I shall investigate!

winkle2 · 24/06/2012 21:26

Lol kitty

Christelle - I would never have known I ov'd on cd13/14 without the monitor and wouldn't have even started dtd so I'm glad I got it.

kittykatsforever · 24/06/2012 21:32

Yes loly it is iphonitus!!
Winkle we will be fighting over your monitor when you get the bfn!! Grin

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 24/06/2012 21:53

Bloody football. It is cd 12 and we have not dtd at all this month. Last month oved cd22 so there is no rush but I wouldn't mind getting a shag under my belt.

redstrawberry · 24/06/2012 22:03

Lol bloody football indeed whenshewas
I'm glad that by the time AF finishes so will this bloody nightmare on telly!

redstrawberry · 24/06/2012 22:16

Is it just me or does the England goal keeper look like the guy from dawson's creek?

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 24/06/2012 22:19

He does. Can't believe I am actually watching this. Think my luck is out tonight. Even if we win by some miracle dh does not seem happy.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 24/06/2012 22:22

Rooney's hair looks ok. The rest of him decidedly unattractive though.

redstrawberry · 24/06/2012 22:23

This is the most exciting bit since the whole game began...DH is a bit too animated!

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 24/06/2012 22:28

I think they should just have penalty shootouts. Forget the whole 90mins of running around and cut to the chase.

wunnybunny · 24/06/2012 22:39

im lucky dp hates football so i dont have that trouble but im on DPO 2 so might give it a rest or try some more tonight for some extra comfort to pass 2ww

NicolaHazel · 24/06/2012 22:41

H2B also hates football. But we DTD this afternoon, so no worries anyway :-)

redstrawberry · 25/06/2012 08:30

Morning all Brew anyone?
Its a lovely sunny day today - CD1 here we go.

July will be our month .. I'm feeling positively chirpy

iamstitch · 25/06/2012 08:34

Morning!

Managed to corner DH last night and pin home down so I'm Grin and hopeful today. Poor boy was shattered but hey ho, such is life!! Feeling like I've been run over today, just so tired. All I want to do is curl up on the sofa and snooze which really isn't me. Even slept through my alarm this morning and woke up an hour and a half late (usually get up at 5.30).

Hope everyone else is enjoying the little bit of sunshine, been busy in the garden this morning transplanting some yummy plants for a friend who hasn't been able to grow anything this year. Maybe karma will be my friend?!!

redstrawberry · 25/06/2012 08:45

Ooh I will have a brew red if you are offering.

Football was pants. I had given up on it and gone to bed. DH came and got me to come back down for the penalty shoot out. He couldn't face it on his own.

Joe Hart (the James Van Der Beek lookylikey) is a Shrewsbury boy, where my DH is from. Source of immense pride for him (DH not Joe Hart!). Same school and everything!
