Flymo - mama is the expert but it is said to help implantation. I did also read on the internet that you should eat it on an empty stomach otherwise the bromelain is not absorbed by the blood, and instead, being an enzyme, will aid to digest the food in your stomach.
If you google pineapple and fertility or ttc lots comes up about it. I'm going to follow the mama way and cut it into five slices and eat one a day before breakfast, inc core! 1dpo to 5dpo....
God, the things we do.....

flymo79 · 13/11/2013 10:02

ah! thanks sazzle, you lovelies are a mine of information and wisdom!! xxxx

ChubbyKitty · 13/11/2013 10:18

Remember when I said my cycles were still messed up?

I'll see you on the December busBlushSad

sazzlehopes · 13/11/2013 10:50

Oh no chubby. We've only just got you on board. Hope you have more luck on the december bus. Thanks

sazzlehopes · 13/11/2013 10:52

If this pineapple lark works I'm going to give my child the middle name of pineapple, or grapefruit, or smep maybe? Anyone with me? After 12 months i feel mad enough to go that far....

allchatnicknamesgone · 13/11/2013 10:56

Hi guys. Never officially boarded this bus because I was so devastated last month and thought the 2ww might be easier if I wasn't reading posts all the time! Been a lot better, but I've still been reading everything, but having 'days off'. I don't need a bedtime book put if that way.

Some amazing funny things as always and some really sad times as well. Congrats to those who are growing their bumps and sorry to those who are still trying.

I'm due Friday. Only managed 3 dtd this month because if the same old performance issues. Poor guy (I say that now. At the time I wasn't so nice unfortunately). Not expecting a Bfp but that's ok. It has to be. I have to keep sane. Had norovirus this week on Dpo11, so def don't expect anything but praying it hasn't messed up my cycle. Started a new thread with this question, but does anyone know if illness can delay a period even if you've ovulated that month?

I'll keep reading and MAma - hats off to you not poas. X

ImaginaryHat · 13/11/2013 11:14

Aw that's rubbish chubby, sorry to hear that.

Elcranko go get that frer! Baby I have no idea how you're gonna keep it a secret til Fri!

Well just been for my docs appt. She was really great and answered all my questions. The good thing is that given how things have progressed since I last saw her she thinks its pretty unlikely it was an ectopic. She says that given my 1st blood results followed by subsequent weak positives it is almost certainly an early miscarriage, that I was pg last cycle but its an early loss when I got my 'period' at the end of Oct. Todays bloods should confirm levels have dropped. I also mentioned the spotting I get pre af and asked if the blood test is just for hcg or anything else, and she said shell ask for today's to be tested for other hormones, iron levels and thyroid just to check everything is 'normal'.

Its not great but I'm so relieved she's not worried about ectopic anymore with potential damage, and it looks like a 'normal' early loss. I know that is horrible to write but its the best of the non pg scenarios I think. Of course I still feel sad but not scared and confused anymore.

Will wait til I get today's blood results back til I officially hop off onto the December bus.

Right, who's the next bfp then?!

MundayCakes85 · 13/11/2013 11:27

Morning all- great news Baby and Elcranko. I'm really pleased for you both. Sorry to see you leave so soon Chubby.
BFN here, 13dpo ish. Piac then had sort of period pains for a minute now nothing. I can't stand this waiting and not knowing Sad
I guess until AF shows up I'm still in with a chance

ImaginaryHat · 13/11/2013 11:31

Hang in there Munday, it ain't over til af arrives. You could just have late implantation, hopefully anyway!

ChubbyKitty · 13/11/2013 11:40

I'm so miffed. I've managed to go from a 52 day cycle to a 26. Who even does that, that's just stupidHmm

This is also on the doctors advice of "I'm sure there's no problem, you're only young"

MundayCakes85 · 13/11/2013 11:45

Thanks Imaginary, sorry to hear your news and then moan about a bfn. It must be awful getting that news but silver lining is that it wasn't an ectopic. FX for you for the future

ImaginaryHat · 13/11/2013 11:49

That is pretty random chubby, has the doc not given you any possible reason at all?

Thanks Munday, don't be silly, moan away, a bfn is always a disappointing sight to see. Hope you get a different result tomorrow.

Meant to say before, lucy your late faint line sounds promising. Are you going to get something between an ic and digi, maybe a superdrug test or something, or are you just gonna wait it out for a couple of days?

AnyFuckersfrogslegs35 · 13/11/2013 11:55

Hi Ladies,
Congrats to those BFP's, keep them coming.
Sorry to those already forced on the Dec bus.
Good luck to those waiting.

Typical!!!
The first month I'm back at it and monitoring again, my cycle decides to piss around :(
I always ov cd12/13 (I'm now cd13) and not a hint on the CBFM, I'm still showing an empty circle god damn hormones!
I'm going to test again later with a cheap OPK see what that says although I havn't had any previous issues with CB other than I sometimes jump straight to a solid smiley instead of first having a flashing one.
My body is giving me signals that it's limbering up to ov - so that's a good thing I suppose.
Unusually I've been feeling a bit down over the last few days for no real reason that I can explain so I'm hoping news of my negatitvity hasn't yet reached my ovaries - I've had a word with myself this morning though and kicked my own arse :)

lucyfluff · 13/11/2013 12:08

Hi imaginary, just read your post. Im glad you feel a bit better after seeing the doctor and great news about it not being ectopic Smile sometimes its good just to be checked ovet and reassured. I hope your next cycle is a sticky bean Grin

Ive had a chat with my lovely neighbour lol (over cake!!!) and she thinks wait until friday and test with fmu AND digi just to check....then I have docs at 10am so either way I can go knowing!!!! Maybe I was going crazy seeing a line yest as nothing today but I do have slight symptoms and no AF for six weeks tmrw!!!!!!! Sad

Yes im moaning again lol

ImaginaryHat · 13/11/2013 12:39

Sounds like a good plan lucy. Did you start trying again straight after your mc without af in between then? I asked the doc and she said no prob with starting to try again but recommend to wait for af so they can date it, but does that really matter that much?!

lucyfluff · 13/11/2013 12:45

Yes we started ttc a week after (had to confirm BFN to gp). I had conflicting advice from two gp's...one said go ahead as long as feel ready etc...the other wait so its easier to date pregnancy. I think its harder to hold off and wait when you have a loss because you know how excited you were...but thats just me!!!

Are you going to wait a while imaginary?

elcranko · 13/11/2013 12:53

Good luck for Friday Lucy, really hope you get your BFP.

Fx for you too munday.

Chubby I'm sorry to hear AF got you. Good luck for next month.

I've just been to tesco - they had no frers! Do they not sell them? I've come away with a 2 pack of tesco own brand tests and 1 CB digi (wanted a 2 pack but they didn't have any!) Not sure whether to wait till the morning now or test when I get home?

ImaginaryHat · 13/11/2013 12:59

Interesting to hear what your docs said, thats helpful info to know.

I think we might just crack on like you did to be honest! We never really had the excitement of the bfp as it came 4 days after the end of af it was just stressful really ( ok a teeny bit exiting that it could have been heavy implantation but in reality I knew it was way too heavy). I need to talk to dh tonight but I think I'll wait for today's blood results to come back, and if it confirms mc then start opk-ing again, and if it looks like I'm going to ov then just get back on it (so to speak!)

lucyfluff · 13/11/2013 12:59

Test now elcranko!!!! I need some bfp happiness in my life

lucyfluff · 13/11/2013 13:01

Yeah good idea with the blood tests imaginary...also they may say wait until you get a neg preg test only because I have heard of people still testing positive weeks later assuming its a new pregnancy and its residual hormones Sad good luck anyway Smile

ImaginaryHat · 13/11/2013 13:03

Elcranko why dont you try one of the own brands later (dont drink anything so urine will be more concentrated) and if it shows something then crack out the digi. If not wait til the morning for digi. That's what I think I'd do but I'm also a secret poas addict too! Good luck!

spinningirl10 · 13/11/2013 13:07

Test Elcranko!!!!

Imaginary, sorry to hear your newsHmm

I had an early mc and we just got on with it....have just pee'd on an ov stick and got barely there line, lighter than yesterday and much lighter than Sunday! I think I must have ov'd on Friday or Saturday which would have been early bit had loads of ewcm then......this is all quite confusing!!

elcranko · 13/11/2013 13:12

Imaginary I'm so sorry to read about what you're going through right now. Sending you hugs x
I think you're right, I'll do one tesco test shortly and see what happens.

ImaginaryHat · 13/11/2013 13:13

Yes lucy I will wait til I get negative test but its pretty much there now anyway. These blood tests are a week after my positive one so should now show quite low I think.

Thanks spinningirl. It does sound like you ovulated at the weekend from that. Ttc is such a confusing thing isn't it!

elcranko · 13/11/2013 13:15

I just opened the "2 pack" of tesco tests and there's only one test inside! Wtf?!
