Roll up, roll up for the best discussions of ewcm, opk, ic and double dying you'll ever have. Probably.

The smallprint - Berries have a strict entrance criteria (TTC #1, over 30, TTC for 3+months, NO instadiffers, must have a special pot) and def no mention of baby dust or baby dancing UGH !!! Ooh we are strict...please note your house may be at risk if you do not keep up repayments lol

Evening Berries. I've been lurking again. Have now left the conception thread monthly 'buses' after 2 instadiffers in 24 hours. "never imagined it would happen so quickly" comments make me a dangerous woman.
Been trying to keep up with you all...
Pixie glad you found these lot helpful. I thought you would! well done on your new job!
Boom whereabouts do you live? I assumed every area offered fertility treatment but thought some areas would have longer waits than others.
Pip all the best for Monday. At least I think it's Monday? I may have missed an update.
Barking any more news? The month I got diffed I had implantation spotting from 8dpo to 11dpo. Could it be that? Could it be ov spotting? If it's red witch spotting then Sad and Angry. I made doc appt today to set the wheels in motion. Going to really push for progesterone testing. I'm virtually sure that's what my issue is.
Short luteal phase: check
Pre period spotting: check
Early miscarriage: check (though I of course know these are common for all sorta of reasons)
Pathetic light periods: check (if wasn't for hygiene reasons 1 pad would suffice all day).
Have you ever tried b6 to lengthen luteal phase/produce better corpus luteum or whatever it's called? 1 week ago I started seriously overdosing on vitamin b complex. It contains 100mg b6. My prenatal contains 10mg meaning I am taking around 7500% of rda. Have done a lot of reading on this. Fingers crossed it lengthens my lp this month and I'll get diffed. Anyone got any experience of b6 use?

Hey Marie, think we all know the feeling about instadiffers, we had one on here once and think all the berries smashed some stuff that day!!
I'm currently getting annoyed at all the newbies starting new threads asking if they're pregnant. Lots of advice from other newbies which is generally misguided and wrong and lots of hons and hugs and lols grrrrr
Glad you've kicked things off with the docs

marie456 · 09/08/2013 21:13

Oh yeah cycle day 3 here meaning Wine aplenty this weekend to drown my sorrows. I of course believed that post miscarriage I would be super fertile and would bfp again instantly.
2 facebook announcements tonight regarding starting mat leave today and no work for a year etc etc. SCREW YOU and your perfectly functioning uterus and ovaries. Angry. Someone please wang me now.

Bunnygirlie · 09/08/2013 21:17

OMG merk I so agree! I keep reading those threads too, the one that said I've been trying 3 months and I'm turning crazy made me wanna scream!!! They really don't have a clue do they!

Welcome marie, how long you been trying lady?

marie456 · 09/08/2013 21:17

Haha! How are you doing Merk?
I like the threads where questions are asked such as "i had unprotected sex with my boyfriend and now my period is late. Could I be pregnant"? That makes me feel smug that I at least have half a brain compared to some, even if my reproductive system is guff.

Hi bunny. I've been around a few weeks but don't post much as haven't had anything really going on. I bought the recliner for a whiner/winer remember?! Currently 3 days in to cycle 10.

marie456 · 09/08/2013 21:21

Ha thanks Bunny!

barkingtreefrog · 09/08/2013 21:21

I tried vit b6 for two cycles before I started the clomid marie. I thought it had worked the first time - had a LP of 10 days!! But then back to 8 days the second cycle.
Has anyone ever mentioned that your light periods could be a problem ttc?
My problem is knowing yhe difference between spotting and AF, which is adding to my total bafflement at the moment!!!

Boomgoestheweasel · 09/08/2013 21:23

Bwaha Marie and Merk how right you are. If any newbie instadiffa offers me babydust they will get a sausage-chop to the throat. Either that or I will smack them down with my non-functioning uterus.

Kitty you didn't make me cry, I think I was ripe for a breakdown and the bump announcement was the final straw! I'm still holding you to the sympathy offer to do my baby shower though Grin

BlindKitty · 09/08/2013 21:25

marie I don't even look at the thread list these days! I literally have threads I'm interested in open on my phone. I too got sick of 'my bf came on my leg, could I be pregnant' drivel... I think barking tried vit b6 a while back

BlindKitty · 09/08/2013 21:44

boom you totally deserve the best god damn baby shower in the world! In fact, we all do!

Boomgoestheweasel · 09/08/2013 21:52

Maybe we could have a baby shower on board the BFP helicopter...?

Bunnygirlie · 09/08/2013 21:55

Lol kitty at your new thread idea!

But seriously if my DH comes on my leg can I be pg?!?!? Confused

Boomgoestheweasel · 09/08/2013 21:56

Bunny not if you were standing up or had a shower straight after.

marie456 · 09/08/2013 22:01

I only really thought it might be a problem in the last few days. Been thinking last 4 months or so how light periods were but never thought that could be anything until I read something on another website earlier this week.
Right I'm off to get my lamb stew out the oven. after 3 hours cooking it better be worth it.

CatsCantFlyFast · 09/08/2013 22:02

Bunny only if you stuck your legs in the air for 30 minutes afterwards

Bunnygirlie · 09/08/2013 22:07

How about if I scoop it up and chuck it in the microwave Wink

Boomgoestheweasel · 09/08/2013 22:12

Jizz omelette! I'd forgotten about that Grin

On a slightly different note, has anyone heard from Thunder lately? Hope she's ok.

BlindKitty · 09/08/2013 22:23

bunny you mean you Dh doesn't jizz on your leg? I think I've worked out your problem..

Ah the jizz omelette! Oh and the vomming cat is now the backstabbing cat! Every time my mate is round she's all over the bump like a rash! My mate loves it and hasn't a clue that I'm telepathically asking the cat 'who's effing side is she on???'

Bunnygirlie · 09/08/2013 22:25

Bad kitty kitty!

CatsCantFlyFast · 09/08/2013 22:29

Thunder's fine, she was on book face today

Thundercatsarego · 09/08/2013 22:44

Hey everyone, I am here (thanks for the nudge bunny)

Yeah I'm ok thanks, been hiding from everything recently mostly in petrified fear. I swear I used to be quite a robust, cheerful person, honest!

Just had a cursory catch up- barking, what's happening with the spotting?

It's getting a bit fraught in here now you're all synchronising eh? I can't feel the tension building. Come on ladies, I am waggling the pompoms yeah who am I kidding, you all know me well enough that I don't possess that kind of cheer but you know what I mean go egg go!
