The Elderberry Pavlovas- All aboard the Berrycopter. Thread 14

[funkymonk]

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

ok, here's my stats..

Tallyra, 33, approx 8weeks, in hospital with stupid sickness. 3 x mmc in past but heartbeat still there today.

Hooray tally!

Great news Tally! How are you feeling today?

Spare Will PM you the consultant's info

well berries I am sad to say that DH and I are terrible patients: consultant's advice to skip DTD last night was ignored, although DH made a valiant effort to cool things down In my defense I was overtaken by hormones and needed it as much as wanted it. In 2 weeks we'll either look at it as the bonk that worked and pat ourselves on the back for going with a feeling, or wonder if saving it for another day would've had a different result.

Bunny yes I feel the same; it's a little daunting that so many of us are now seeing FCs, but Merkin's right, if this is what it takes, then so be it even though it totally stinks to be told when to have sex even if you wind up ignoring the advice you paid for

Tally amazing news. Hope steroids are helping x

Great news Tally fingers crossed the meds work for you :)
I've added myself & Tally hope thats ok x

Anybody missing?

tally great news, hugs x

How is everybody else at the mo?

bunny yep makes me sad realising just how long I've been ttc . It's defo my turn soon!!!

funky so sorry! Won't out you again! Think my brain just processed your new name with your old name!

thunder otd is wed but I will prob pimp before then!

guys (especially merk!) my temp dropped below my cover line today so I'm guessing game over? Did go for a wee in the night but not sure how close it was to waking. What do you think?

Nope blind, drop often means implantation. This cycle's chart was crap due to travel and other timelines but on my CPs I had below cover line dip each time

Oooo blind!!

It ain't over till it's over kitty!

Eeek kitty ........! don't want to jinx it by saying anything else.

Merk, would you or someone mind explaining the going for a wee thing? I don't understand

In PeasantNews, DH and I managed to have sex twice around the mid-point of my cycle (yesterday). I cannot tell if I OV this month because I screwed up temping and ran out of OPK sticks. Honestly, if I were this incompetent at work, I'd've been fired ages ago.

Is it wrong/icky or helpful to wear a Mooncup afterwards? One of my issues is with a retro cervix, it doesn't seem logical to lie on my back for ages, so I lie on my back for a bit, then my front, and then, er... hold everything in with my trusty MC. Might that help?

Sid didn't you say you thought the consultant's advice was out of date anyhow? If so you may have just done the right thing!! :)

Ooh that reminds me, I must order some more opks!

sorry for keeping you all guessing today. I've been much better, and even managed a game of cards when dh came in. they tell me I might get home tomorrow if nothing goes downhill. just need to keep eating and drinking - it's so hard!

Aw Tally so glad you're feeling better and hope things continue to improve for you.
RP I don't think the actual going for a wee itself is the issue its just that you are meant to have a certain number of hours (4 I think??) of uninterrupted sleep before temping.
Third and final cd21 test for me tomorrow. After previous levels of 47 and 50 and a cycle you could set your watch by I think it's pretty obvious that I'm OVing but no they want more blood!

tally glad to hear you are doing a bit better, it must be so scary. Guess the worry and stress never ends x

RP if you are going to do any lying down I believe on your front is better for your situation. BUT, the swimmers that enter the cervix get there during ejaculation (its the force) not (except in exceptional circumstances) by happening to be the blob that sits near the entrance to the cervix 30 mins later!

Thanks Merkin. I wonder if it matters that retro cervixes point the wrong way, then....

happy rp yeh it's 4 hours I think but I always have toget up for a wee, it's very annoying!

merk should my temp rise back up then?

sid I've asked numerous professionals now in case one gives me a different answer and they all sat eod

Say
