We will try anything! The big fat posifrickintivity thread of TTC after MC

[GuffSmuggler]

A new thread for all you lovely, crazy ladies. Here's to lots of BFPs!

I may have gone to a fertility hypnotherapist on recommendation from acupuncturist. Hideously expensive but I loved the firat session. The second session she accidently opened up alot of feelings about my awful childhood and I spent the whole day in a real funk. I got preg the next month during one of the most stessful months of my life (exchanging and completing on houses) which just goes to show the "just relax" schtick is just baloney - but I just can't bring self to go back.

I need help please stop me from poas! I'm only 6dpo have felt sick for the past couple of days so that obviously means I'm pregnant right!! It's only going to end in tears!

Up for projectdesperate next month.

Agree with everything that's been said re it not getting easier, given it took a year to get pregnant in the first place I knew it wouldn't happen quickly but hoped it would have happened before due date which is now only 2 weeks away this is my last chance.

I got pregnant using agnus castus, I had really irregular periods and rarely ovd. The first time I took it I ovd on cd14 and got my bfp. You only take it up to ov then stop taking it. Not sure of its benefit if you are already regular.

hold off flower no point POAS this early - I am the same as you, i'm 5DPO - its gotta be too early!!

I also thought it would happen quickly - 'you're really fertile after mc' yeah right!!!! Bloody miserable you mean and bitter and twisted and MAD!!

Set yourself a project flower i've just organised some photos to get printed which I've wanted to do for ages! Also just finished a good book which had me gripped - a douglous Kennedy, easy read, not high brow but good all consuming stories - DONT' DO IT!! If you REALLY have to, then wait till Friday, you might have changed your mind ...

and you'll stink of fish!

Hi hi hi...mrs G in da house!!

Back from a boozy snoozy minimoon and trying to catch up with all the gossip!

Please add 'meets syringe' to the desperado list.

Emki get yourself a fresh pineapple, peel it, cut it into 5 'slices' and eat a slice a day (including the core).

AF due on Saturday and pretty sure she'll come a knocking after having the flu during OV even if we did manage 9 days in a row. There's always a bit of hope though I guess?

There is nothing wrong with smelling of fish! I used to work on Tesco's fish counter. The butcher christened me Kipper Knickers!
Flower step AWAY from the pee stick!
When you make it to Friday next week, then AF will be late and there will be a really big chance for a BFP!

Well if I'd known that video existes I'd have saved a few quid. My lady was very nice and the first session was really amazing - brought back the feeling I had when I first held DD1. But she didn't do the thing with the hands though. Or stare at me (did anything more happen after 5 seconds in, I had to switch it off).

OMFG Kat That is freaky as shit!

sal ooh just one slice! I've been eating about 1/2 a pineapple a day! Oh well - next month I'll do it properly

how could we forget the syringe method'!! CRAZY

If this works I'm going to have to think of a cunning way to get DH on board!

What about ...dashing home at lunch to dtd when DH working from home / or following DH around the country when OV due (and then he cancels trip and i'm still at home and less cash as didn't cancel in time.)

I'm off to bed now .... thank you ladies - DH away and this has been such an entertaining and nourishing and comforting evening xxxxxx

kat am chuckling at that video! Has he got creepily long thumbnails? Phhhbbbb

Hey saggy or should that be kipper knickers?! you alright duck? Did I see a beautiful little foal was born recently? How are they getting on? He/she looks absolutely beautiful.

I have now caught up on sal's new syringey special friend. That is absolutely amazing. If you don't get a bfp with that effort then I'm giving up!

emki impressive pineapple munching!

Thanks all I am crazy but I don't want to smell of fish!! That video was freaky I lasted 30 seconds and nothing really changed.

Must sleep now but ill probably have nightmares of the man and his hands!

Ha ha, loving project desperate! You ladies are psychic - seriously, I was googling all these things last night and making myself a little list. How sad am I? One thing to add - apparently to increase quality/quantity of cm, drink lots of water. Disappointingly uncomplicated but it's on my list because I all too often get to the end of the day thirsty...

This month I am temping and we're sort of SMEP-ing but don't think I've ov'd yet (and on cd 29!!) so DTD energy is fading somewhat. Have convinced myself it's not happening this cycle anyway, beginning to feel like roll on AF so we can try again from the beginning! Next cycle I'm on the grapefruit juice, conceive plus, and poss cbfm as well as temping. And maybe acupuncture as well if it's not too horrendously expensive...kat I'm in London too- any good recommendations for acupuncture / reflexology? Went to neals yard for reflexology session which was amazingly but hideously pricey - not sure I can justify that again!

Also any views on what's better, conceive plus or preseed? Dr Google has differing opinions... And does anyone bother with the applicator thingies for conceive plus?

But MUCH more importantly sal how was your wedding?? And mini moon? Hope you had a really fab time!!

Ps looking forward to checking out the video when I get home!

Alyant - Really sorry to hear your news, that bloody AF, needs a bitch slap. At least you've got something to look forward to next month at Latitude so hopefully that will be a welcome distraction. It's not wrong to be hopeful, but I know how upsetting it is when you find yourself back at square one. Big hugs.

MissP - totally agree with you on the timing thing - hopefully we'll have some springtime babies instead!

Hi Squiggly, really sorry that you're here but welcome, we're a nice (if not sometimes slightly desperate/crazy bunch).

Emki - I have 8 pregnant friends now! Clearly there's some sort of chair I should be sitting on or drinking from some tap but being over exposed to pregnant people has only made it harder to cope. Not all of them know about my MC so I have t politely sit there talking about birth plans, names, scans etc, knowing that I would have been due before them. It's so hard.

Randomly, the legs in the air thing...does anyone else struggle with this?? our mattress is really hard so I don't squish into in and when I tried the legs in the air thing, I nearly fell off the bed, and then nearly did a backwards roll! I'm not as flexible as I should be clearly.

Also, there is one thing we can claim girls, we might not be preggers, we might not have kids to coo and plan for, we might not be ready to shop for prams and baby clothes yet....but I bet we can boast we have more sex than the other members of MN!! :) Whether for pleasure or just TTC, at least we can take that trophy home!
That is all.
