Last time I took pregnacare for 3 months before we started trying and got pregnant the first month. I think mine had the omega oil capsule as well - I remember how disgusting it tasted coming back up with morning sickness!

mama31 · 15/01/2014 18:29

Haha! Toots! I know what you mean!! Going 2nd doesn't overly appeal to me either....and I'm sure it involves a certain amount of skill to hold off!!! Lol could be interesting!!! Not sure how it's gona work out but we can give it a go!!!

I'm hoping that pregnacare conception vits hold the magic bfp ingredients for me! Then again I'd try anything....literally anything to get my bfp! have been drinking stinky grapefruit juice since cd1 also, so Definately have a few different things to try out this time! It's good to mix it up a bit! ;)

toots123 · 15/01/2014 18:34

I bought pregnacare but im awful at remembering to take them

someone give me a big slap please! Im being ignorant as I dont really know why I should take them. I bet if I did I would remember :(

CherryPie3 · 15/01/2014 18:44

Soooo my husband has declared he's broody. Blush

No idea what my stats are as depo messed my cycle up, copper coil fell out (yep really) in September after having it fitted in june. DH said not to get it refitted (it isn't a pleasant experience lets face it).

CherryPie3. TTC #4. Last period June 20th 2012! ( no idea why the date sticks in my head).

mum2kiss · 15/01/2014 18:44

I asked about them on the jan bus and someone (sorry cant remember name!) Who is qualified in this sort of stuff said they contain vitamins that can help prevent spinabifida and ensure that all the limbs develop properly...there were other benefits too.

I had almost perfect teeth before I had dd and since having her I've had 2 root canals, a crown, 2 fillings and 2 extractions!!!!!

I too forgot to take my pregnacare pregnancy supplement! I will not be letting that happen this time. I've suffered enough to remember to take these babies every day!

angelicjen · 15/01/2014 18:51

I'm jumping on, armed with Pregnacare, evening primrose oil and grapefruit juice - willing to give anything a try.

We're ttc #1, cycle 2, will update more after ov.

Good luck everyone!

lifehasafunnywayofhelpinguout · 15/01/2014 19:03

Hi. I've came to join in. Been kicked off the January bus by A.F. Feeling a bit gutted but I have to pick myself up. Moping round and throwing a tantrum will not make A.F go away. Seeing D.P later on so we can get on with the production of little miracle for this month. We still D.T.D when A.F is present, although at the moment I'm not feeling remotely sexy sorry if that was T.M.I.
About me
mc 97
D.D born 99
C.P Sept 13
so I guess I am ttc number 4 strictly speaking.

Just purchased 30 opk's off eBay. That should help give me an idea of what my cycle is doing.

CherryPie3 · 15/01/2014 19:21

Angelic - is evening primrose oil good? Do you just take a capsule? Sorry for the questions - in outbid touch with this ttc game!!

pebble82 · 15/01/2014 19:23

Hello to some familiar ladies, and also to newbies.

I'm on this one too as well as clinging onto the back of the Jan bus. Same stats as MrsF all being the same as last cycle. Difficult to pinpoint after pill but I'll go with ttc#1 cycle 2 BFP due Feb 1st (maybe Jan 31st)

I need a good slap as DP just got home from work telling me he's off out again for a boys night and he's booked tomorrow off work so he can get drunk. My reaction wasn't "OK have a good night" like any normal person but instead "but we're meant to DTD today according to the SMEP rules, I can't believe you're doing this to me!" I'm such an idiot! I'm only at cd13 and last month didn't OV until CD17/18. Also have no ewcm yet so it's really no big deal. Feel free to call me a fool!

mama31 · 15/01/2014 19:37

Pebble....SLAP!!!! but only because you didn't grab him for a quickie before he went out!! Where there's a will there's a way ;)

Angel I'm also on grapefruit juice and primrose oil (up to ovulation only) and pregnacare vits this cycle! Hoping it's the winning combo! :)

Pollywhatshername · 15/01/2014 19:41

Hi girls,

Hope its okay to join in? Been reading on mumsnet for months but havent ever posted until now....promised myself i'd post on the Feb Bus.
This is cycle 1 ttc #2 for me. DS is 2. Ive REALLY long cycles and dont usually OV till close to the end. Makes the whole ttc process seem endless already just waiting to ovulate! Think my AF (BFP!) is due around 5th.

Hope there are loads of BFPs.!!

pebble82 · 15/01/2014 19:55

Haha, I did try but he had someone waiting outside when he got changed. Damn it!

mama31 · 15/01/2014 19:57

Awwwh pebble! Shame! Well maybe when he's drunk it will be easy to take advantage ;) lol or he might just fall asleep! Lol

gennibugs · 15/01/2014 20:03

Hello all, room for one more?

This is cycle 1 for me, ttc #1. BFF due around 6 Feb.

This is all so new to me, I have to admit after so many years of trying not to fall pregnant now I realise it's not as simple as I believed!!

Also think I need some ladies to chat with as I don't want to obsess too much with DH (fairly sure lengthy EWCM discussions would be a slight passion killer) and we aren't telling people we're trying.

Fingers crossed this is a lucky bus! Grin

gennibugs · 15/01/2014 20:05

Pebble - your post kind of reminds me of something that happened yesterday

DH is off on two stag dos in March and April. One of the dates has changed which he informed me of last night. Had me running to my fertility app thing to check that it wasn't in the crucial week!

chocolateginger · 15/01/2014 20:31

Hi guys, think I may have to join this thread soon, fearing af will turn up in the next few days.
However I thought I join in a bit early as I was interested in what mum2kiss and juliettesmommy were saying about pregnacare. I tried it when I first started ttc - feb last year. Got a BFP straight away, but sadly had an early miscarriage. Took it again next time I TTC, and got a BFP, but that was an EP. Have been TTC for the past 5 cycles, but just taking folic acid, still waiting for that BFP...might go back on the Pregnacare! ;-)

MrsF2510 · 15/01/2014 22:00

Pebble - we have more in common than our stats. DH refused to DTD tonight and I was really sulky - do you not realise that today is our best chance etc. poor thing - he's been to the dentist and is in pain. My instant response was you don't need to kiss me! I am a horrible person! X

Hibou7688 · 15/01/2014 22:13

Argh AF attacked on day 39! So looks like I'm out for jan! So I'm ttc1 cycle 2! AF/bfp due around 15-17th feb!

Fingers crossed for us for a fertile feb!

pebble82 · 15/01/2014 22:31

MrsF and gennibugs at least we can vent on here.

I'm taking folic acid tablets and vitamin D (both Tesco own brand). What's the added bonus of the others?

Whilst we on the topic of sharing, I have a waaaay TMI issue to raise. As DTD too often reduces sperm quality how do you raise the topic of OHs not ahem... well... self pleasing. Sorry... it's just I'm sure all men do it but I don't my DP "wasting" any. I also have no idea if I should bring it up or just leave well alone.

Clearly being home alone is giving me far too much time to think!

mama31 · 15/01/2014 22:36

Pebble you are so sweet!!! I wish I was more like you....im coming up to ovulation at the wkend and DH has strictly been told "no w#*king!!" sorry, I'm sure I'm just too direct!!!! Lol needs must though....im sure there's a more polite way to say it like "save it for the wkend darling" lol Definately don't want any wasted....all required for baby making purposes!!!

mum2kiss · 15/01/2014 22:38

I'm not sure I'd specifically mention it

I'd get myself on the receiving end of the self pleasing pebble !!

Maybe the more knookie he gets the less likely he will be to self please...

pebble82 · 15/01/2014 23:08

If only! I'm hoping he'll roll in before 2am this evening so I can seduce force him before going to sleep. I don't want him getting bored on his day off tomorrow when I'm at work and taking matters into his own hands.

mama31 · 15/01/2014 23:13

Lol pebble, my DH did that today on his day off while I was at work....so he has been well warned no more!!!!

toots123 · 16/01/2014 02:06

Haha you girls have made me laugh.
I wanted to bring this up with dh but apparently he doesnt do that. (Yeah right!!)

he clearly thinks im a fool as im sure he cant be the only guy who doesnt cause they all seem to!
What do I say to that though?!
