De-lurking to say aaahhhhh red!! Amazing news I'm so so happy for you!! :)

Thingymajigs · 05/05/2013 14:33

I've got this silly grin now thinking how you must be feeling. Ds2 just asked me what I'm smiling about. Grin Aww I'm so happy for you both. Smile x

RedRobin1 · 05/05/2013 15:08

Thanks :) I can't stop smiling either. Just wish some symptoms would kick in so I can stop worrying if it will end up as a cp again.

Hope you are keeping well wee

Like I said each pregnancy has different symptoms I honistly wouldn't have known ( and didn't ) first time because I took implantation for af never felt a days sickness or anything, it's not indicative of how things will turn out at all, If you went back through this thread to when I got pregnant with this one you will find my posts about how I knew it wasn't my month etc as no symptoms and even cm hadn't been the same as the time before etch know its hard to not worry especially after last time but just let yourself have a silly grin today and savour it, I always think implantation is a really positive sign ( I guess as it was for me) that its imbedded itself well to have caused it , plenty of time for you to be knacked, sick and achey Wink xxx

twinklestar2 · 05/05/2013 15:39

Thanks kitty needed to read that. I am going to enjoy the moment and allow myself to get a little carried away. Just a little.

MrsBri · 05/05/2013 16:20

Congratulations red!! So happy for you. :-)

FWIW, I got utterly trashed the day before my BFP as well!

Let us know when it stops feeling surreal!

I reckon it will be res next for a BFP!!

twinklestar2 · 05/05/2013 16:49

Oh and Red, you obviously have to tell us everything you did this month so we can do it too!

RedRobin1 · 05/05/2013 17:17

Thanks kerry

winkle DH was mowing the lawn and I walked into the garden pee sticks in hand and blubbing and told DH we are going to be having a baby. We hugged for ages and then DH resumed lawn mowing with a grin on his face.

We haven't yet done a happy dance as I just don't want to get too excited yet.

Thingymajigs · 05/05/2013 17:19

Yep, definitely, even if you did a handstand for an hour after each dtd we will all be attempting it. Grin

RedRobin1 · 05/05/2013 17:23

We dtd 4 times this month and I had grapefruit juice and used conceive plus the last 2 times near OV as I was totally dry.

I drank grapefruit juice after dtd straightaway - had a glass by the bedside. I don't know why but I had a theory that if I drink it after dtd it will make me more wet so the spermies can swim up to the egg.

Also it's been 3 months since DH has been on pine bark extract which may have helped with the morphology.

Also, I had a lot of work stress (close to a serious mental breakdown) so I thought it would be impossible to conceive this month. Clearly the stress theory is false!

RedRobin1 · 05/05/2013 17:26

Oh and I stroked the fertility statue pics religiously!!!

KerryJewels · 05/05/2013 17:52

It was just time for that human being to be created:) That perfect DNA...that one sperm and egg that make it have to come together..time after time with fail because that person was not meant to be...18 months Red..all that trying has finally paid off!!I guess that's why it's so important to keep hoping,praying and trying....

Thingymajigs · 05/05/2013 17:53

I've been mulling over the idea of buying conceive plus or something similar but didn't bother as I don't think I need it but I'm definitely giving it a go now.
Thanks red Hope you and your dh have a lovely bank holiday and enjoy every second of this.

RedRobin1 · 05/05/2013 17:57

Thanks thingy! kerry it's been 12 months of ttc - felt like 18 though.

Disclaimer: I have used conceive plus 8 cycles in a row before but only this one worked.

I think the grapefruit juice might have done the trick or like you say kerry it might just be our time. It's not sunk in yet. Do you guys mind if I stick around / lurk?

twinklestar2 · 05/05/2013 18:24

Red - you need to post on the fertility statue thread that you got your BFP!

Re conceive plus, I don't need it - do you think I should start using it?

You're BFP is making me very excited as its 3 months this month that my hub has been taking the pine bark extract (as well as not drinking).

Will def be getting the grapefruit juice!

And yes of course you are welcome to stay, and hopefully we'll be following you into the grads thread v soon!

resipsa · 05/05/2013 19:54

OMG! Red CONGRATS!!!
I thought the idea of AF a whole week early didn't sound right!
Yay!
And really don't worry about the wine; like others, I got very drunk just shy of 5 weeks (hadn't tested as not in full on TTC mode) and it did no harm. But I have a theory - I got that drunk on less alcohol than it would have taken usually and I think it was my body's way of saying no more.
This is great. Not sure we've had a BFP since Alex and before hers, it was Jan 1st.
You are going to LOVE it.

twinklestar2 · 05/05/2013 19:56

Red - one more question!! What numbers did your OH's morph go from and to? I'm sure you've told me before... :)

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 05/05/2013 20:12

Quick delurk.

red I'm so pleased for you, good to see you on the grads thread.

res I'm so excited and nervous for you. Thank you so much for letting us all know how your ivf is going. It goes without saying that I have everything crossed I can cross for you.

Still thinking of all you guys and wishing you the very best.

RedRobin1 · 05/05/2013 20:24

winkle it was 2% in nov and went up to 5% in feb thanks to vitamin C(2000mg) and Wellman supplements, zinc and selenium and loose briefs. We then added in pine bark to the concoction.
