Elderberry Pavlovas Unite - the over 30s TTC number 1

[Bunnygirlie]

Hi y'all, Welcome to our new meeting place :-) Let's refresh as usual -

Bunnygirlie - 32, married, TTC since June, due to OV this week according to app

I'm with you Bunny. We can sit in a corner and complain and moan together.

I'll join you too x

Congrats Purple! Great news for u!

I will join in with feeling sorry for myself! Am babysitting for 6 kids on my own, I am a fool!!

Thanks for all the advice on things for motility. Off to boots for multi vits tomorrow. DH doesn't smoke, we eat ok and he drinks maybe 2 pints once a week. Don't want to become too obsessed and deny him that!!

So glad we get an extra hour in bed tomorrow and not for TTC reasons!!!

Sounds like your oh is doing all the right things already. I wouldn't deny him his two pints either! Did the docs say the low motility was down to anything?

My DH drinks a little, about 2 pints a month.
This didn't change, so don't deny your DH a drink or two.

I've decided that next month I'm not going to track anything, just DTD every other day.

To top it all off I think I have thrush, if this was a symptom i'd happily put up with it but this is just a pain in the you know where lol

Sorry it that was a tad tmi!

Oh tell me about it Bunny, I had cystitis on the all important week this month. The things we go though hey.

Natural yoghurt really does work. Cheap unflavoured stuff from a basics range does the job.

Pip and bunny - as well as yoghurt for - ahem - your current predicament, try swapping to full fat milk. It could be a massive coincidence but someone (maybe one of you girls?) told me it helped with female fertility. Anyway I started drinking a full fat hot choc before bed (ha ha for medicinal reasons - what a treat though!) and noticed loads if EWCM this month vs none the two months before. You never know, am sure it's a coincidence, but it's one thing to try that's not much of a hardship?

Well I have always had loads and loads of EWCM, and I go to bed with a mug of ovaltine.

So much for that tip , sorry

Liking your ovaltine tip though - yum....

DH had chemotherapy about 4 years ago so the low motility could be due to that but they don't really know! I think you are right Pipbin, just DTD and try upon try not to worry!

Don't feel bad Janey, it makes sense.
Milk causes the production of mucus in your nose, so why not your hoo-ha!
Also, I'm guessing I might have more milk in my diet than most people as I don't eat meat, so I eat more cheese.

Great news about the BFP Purple! We are on an Elderberry roll!!!

Sorry about AF Bunny, what a total bummer and I think you're perfectly normal to wallow for a while because we all know TTC is an emotional rollercoaster.

Who's next to POAS? Is anyone in the 2WW?

Zombies I had my normal pre-AF cramps and twinges from about 10DPO onwards. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Interesting tip about the milk. I drink skimmed - years of dieting!!

Pip I tried that a couple of months ago. Didn't work. Honestly I've tried every tactic!!

rache I'm at the beginning of my 2 3 ww. Intend to POAS around the 9th. Till then every bout of indigestion or hunger pang will be taken as a symptom
FWIW this doesn't feel like a month where I get lucky, though have done all the right things. We'll see! Fx anyway.

Well Elderberries I am checking in this morning with my very own BFP!!!

Woke up early because of howling wind here, and even though I wasn't planning to test this morning I thought I should for some reason. Did my internet cheapy dipstick and on first look it looked like nothing - but then I picked it up to check a minute later and there was a faint pink line.
I had to ring DP and wake him up at 6 in the morning so that I could tell him on Facetime! I've also told my cousin who I am staying with and we did a secret early morning dance around the kitchen. I'm not really sure it's sunk in yet....

Fingers crossed for all those still waiting - this has proved an unbelievably lucky thread so far.

Woohoo Quod congrats to you and all the others that have had BFPs this week! This is turning out to be a very lucky thread Fx for everyone POAS soon!

Awesome quod loving your kitchen dance story!

Congrats to everyone with bfps, it certainly seems to be a lucky fred, I should spend more time here!

Currently 7dpo and time is dragging, but should know one way or the other by this time next week.

Aaah quod that's brilliant news, massive massive congratulations! How many days DPO are you?

I'm bloody knackered - last two nights I've woken up at 3 needing a pee (know it's a hormone thing) but then been completely unable to get back to sleep for about three hours. Not sure if that's a pg thing or just because I'm excited!

Thanks Janey - got that to look forward to then! 13DPO over here.

Congrats quod!!! Oh my god, that's number 5!!
{drumroll}

Congratulations Quoid. Please stay here like our other graduates.

Still no AF proper here, just nasty brown spotting.

Congrats Quod! So many little Elderberries this month, there must be something in the air.

Congratulations Quod and all you other BFP's! Fx to everyone else!

Can I ask a really stupid question? I've been taking my bbt every morning at 7 cos you're supposed take it at the same time every day. If the clocks have changed isn't that going to affect the accuracy of the monitoring? Silly question I know but it has thrown me!
