And that article is really useful and informative, Kitten, thank you.

Thankyou all you've all been so great and kept me going and positive after last month GrinGrin
That article is amazing, I'd never have known but makes sence it's taken me a week past af to get a +ve before

DulcetMoans · 22/09/2012 09:50

Congrats again kitty!

Cd5 here. Nothing to report!

kittykatskumkwat · 22/09/2012 10:51

Are you upping the dose every day winkle?
It will be interesting to see if it makes you ov sooner or what the cbfm makes of it

Lolcbcblemonlime · 22/09/2012 11:52

Dreamt I was pg. two dreams in one night!
Now I'm even more scared to test.
Nic great news on DH being willing to shag eod! Wish mine would!
Pear you poo machine Grin

redstrawberry · 22/09/2012 12:16

Thanks everyone, I am not testing anymore but have accepted AF will arrive. Just to make the 2ww a bit easier. Fx for you sunshine I have had a lot of PMS and irritability too along with a teaspoon of CM at 9dpo, severe pinching and tugging at 10dpo. But after the bfn yesterday I didn't know if it was all just in my mind.

I really thought this was the month.
Pre-OV: We did EPO, drank grapefruit juice every day up to OV, even ate the pink grapefruits (yuk!), shagged with and without conceive plus 5 days in a row around +ve OPK day.

Post-OV: Didn't symptom spot till the tugging, drank pineapple juice and ate brazil nuts everyday (apparently helps implantation), went to the movies with DH, read a book - anything to take my mind of it.

I guess roll on October - decided to ditch everything next month. AS inspite of trying it all if it doesn't work, I am just going to stick to simple shagging.

Brilliant news kitty Smile Smile Smile

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 22/09/2012 12:55

I basically told him I want a baby and he hasn't been trying hard enough.

We are now shagging constantly (could wear me out) and using Conceive Plus. I may have got him to take bloke conception tablets too. I think he's a bit jealous of his brother being a dad before him. Works in my favour :-)

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 22/09/2012 12:57

And you're not out til you're out, red. I really hope it works for you...you've really tried this month.

redstrawberry · 22/09/2012 14:52

Nic you okay after finding out about sil? I remember how I felt when my sil announced hers. Sometimes ttc feels like such a race!

Anyway I'm off for some retail therapy and going to make some Creme brûlée next weekend when af shows up Grin just a treat for myself :)

Thanks I'm still hoping she doesn't show up x

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 22/09/2012 15:26

Actually, no, I'm not red...they got married in early January, so only took a few cycles. I can't stand her and am SO jealous and pissed off!

But they don't think we are trying yet anyway, so have no idea about the 'race'.

Once we get married in 3 weeks' time though, they know we will want kids. Hate it.

Enjoy your retail therapy. :-)

Lolcbcblemonlime · 22/09/2012 16:08

I feel your pain nic. I've a cousin I'm not particularly close to who got pg and spent the first 3 months thinking of getting rid of the baby and now is behaving like the mum of the century! She is 5 years younger than me and I got very Envy when she fell pg.

PurpleGeekyGirl · 22/09/2012 17:21

Thanks for the welcome everyone :)

Not holding out hope for sept now as usual hellish pre af cramps have started, ho hum. Roll on oct!

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 22/09/2012 20:32

The SiL to be is about 5 years younger than me too...smokes loads (I assume not now) and so skinny I thought she'd struggle. Clearly not.

Thank god they live in New Zealand so I don't have to have anything to do with the pregnancy!

And H2B appears to be on fire this cycle...I just got MORE sex mid-afternoon, which makes sex on CD1 (oops, wasn't expecting it to be 1, or the mess it created Blush), CD4 (first day after AF), CD6 and CD7. Can we keep up the pace?! I reckon I have now set him the challenge after saying we weren't having enough sex. My bits may drop off Shock.

I think I've managed to show him how awesome Conceive Plus is in the 3 times we've used it as it assisted this afternoon's impromptu quickie no end!

Who else would I discuss this kind of thing with? :-)

redstrawberry · 22/09/2012 20:43

I hated it when mine announced it too. It's worse when you are trying and someone undeserving announces it Sad

I have a lot of wet knickers Blush and cramps. Lots of cm. just keeping everythin crossed now till next Sat.

Fx you can announce your bfp soon nic x

redstrawberry · 22/09/2012 20:45

I love conceive plus! Thinking of socking some up as lifetime lubricant supply :) DH lives how it feels and how easy it makes getting in .... Wink

redstrawberry · 22/09/2012 20:45

loves*

redstrawberry · 22/09/2012 20:46

Oh dear so many typos! Stocking up not socking! Grin

winkle2 · 22/09/2012 20:47

Kitty I'm going to do 80, 80, 120, 120, 160.

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 22/09/2012 20:48

You don't even need the full teaspoon it says, do you? A tube should last a while I reckon, even at the rate we're going at this cycle! I bet he can't believe he was so against it when I first mentioned it, bearing in mind he now loves it.

Men, eh?!

Thank you, red. Fx for you too. xx Thanks

Lolcbcblemonlime · 23/09/2012 11:28

Winkle what do those numbers mean?
Agree on cp nic. You only need a little bit.

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 23/09/2012 11:33

Are you still using CP secretly, Lol? You need to tell DH, like I did with H2B, that it is happening!

I think the figures are the mg of Soy that winkle is taking.
