So I may not have ov'd and that could cause af to be late (hence leading me to believe that I'm preggers?!), thats just evil!

Well we've been dtd every day so nothing more we can do now but wait!

mum2kiss · 19/01/2014 10:48

Hi all!
Looks like I'm hopping on this Feb bus! Almost a week earlier than I expected to also.
Oh well.

Stats are TTC #1 Cycle 2 (officially TTC, been being less careful for about 4) BFP due 15th Feb!

Fingers crossed. Will be following the Koala plan this month :)

sherbertlemon17 · 19/01/2014 12:29

Hi ladies! Can I jump aboard?

Stats: Sherbertlemon17, ttc #1, cycle 1, bfp 1st feb.

Very very new to this, but me and DH are keeping our FX!! Pretty sure I ovd yesterday so my 2ww has officially begun!
It's my Mum's 50th on the18th too so would be lovely to give her an extra birthday surprise! Grin

Nora42 · 19/01/2014 12:46

Hi all, Smile

Also looking to jump aboard!
Stats are: ttc #1, Cycle 3, BFP/AF due 16 Feb

sherbertlemon17 · 19/01/2014 13:11

Oh just remembered what I meant to ask...

What supplements are you all taking? I'm taking folic acid but that's it. Should/ could I take anything as well as the folic acid to increase our chances or my general pre-preg health?

I've noticed a few people talking about evening primrose oil and grapefruit juice... What's that all about?! Apologies formy naivety! Smile

JonesSchool · 19/01/2014 13:24

Hello, please can I join
TTC #1. Cycle 2 BFP ideally due 12.02.2014
Have been on the pill for a huge 16 years so don't yet think cycle has returned to normal! Just had a two day period!

SnowBells · 19/01/2014 14:46

Supplements

I'm taking Zita West Vitafem (similar to Pregnacare) 3x a day, DHA, Vitamin D spray, Agnus Castus…

Just realized I must look like someone on hard drugs to some people, the amount of pills I pop each day… Hmm

MrsF2510 · 19/01/2014 14:56

Hi sherbet, I'm taking pregnacare which is multi vits including folic acid. I am eating healthily too. X

Hi all, can I hop on?
TTC#4 Cycle#1 (came off pill last month and AF got me on 14th, so I guess Jan doesn't really count!) BFP due 14/2! That would be a good valentines pressie!
I've been using Tesco multivits and preg tests, think I may switch to pregnacare after reading about increased conception %, what do others make of their tests?

angelicjen · 19/01/2014 15:44

Sherbet, the grapefruit juice and evening primrose are meant to help with ewcm. You take the evening primrose from cd1 to ov. No idea if it works as only been trying it for a week. Fingers crossed though. I'm also taking pregnacare vits. Much cheaper on amazon than boots.
I'm contemplating the koala leg cycling but worried dp will think I've gone crazy! How long are you meant to do it for?

Treaclepie19 · 19/01/2014 16:14

As long as you can I think angelicjen
I've been taking Seven Seas - Trying for a baby.

sherbertlemon17 · 19/01/2014 16:39

Thanks for all your replies!! Will definitely have a look on amazon for pregnacare!

And if this cycle isn't successful I think I'll give the grapefruit juice a try. Who'd of thought!

PolytheneGirl · 19/01/2014 18:05

Just ordered my Pregnacare conception his & hers from amazon. Also taking folic acid (high dosage) and cough syrup.

htbftm · 19/01/2014 18:25

Ordered my pregnacare too! Whats the cough syrup for? Or is it just a cough?? :-)

PolytheneGirl · 19/01/2014 18:33

Apparently coughs syrup containing Guaifenesin (basically any chesty cough medicine) can help with ewcm. I'm giving it a go. Only started on Friday though so fx.

SnowBells · 19/01/2014 18:35

DH also takes supplements. Anyone else's DH taking them, too?

PolytheneGirl · 19/01/2014 18:42

SnowBells my DH has been taking a general multi vitamin but he'll be switching to Pregnacare this week (not that he knows that yet mwahaha!)

SnowBells · 19/01/2014 18:56

PolytheneGirl I don't think it's Pregnacare he will be taking… it's called WellMAN Conception (emphasis on 'MAN'). Wink Hahaha…

PolytheneGirl · 19/01/2014 19:04

Haha I went for the his and hers because I know I'm going to have to pull the whole "I'm taking mine.., you take yours too!" on him! It's all very grown up!

rossby · 19/01/2014 19:38

I've started plan koala - CD 8, one manuka honey teaspoon ingested, and one bout of upside down naked cycling done. DH timed me (when he'd a) helped me get my legs up in the air as I kept rolling sideways and b) stopped laughing) and I could only do a minute before collapsing with palpitations. Going to aim for 90 seconds next time...

Does anyone know what the manuka honey is for?

mama31 · 19/01/2014 19:43

Hi ladies :) well that's day 2 of the "Koala Plan" complete :) including manuka honey, cycling and O after DH! I must say he doesn't like me O after him...and it does seem to involve a lot of concentration on the task lol taking the natural enjoyment away from it a bit! but we are both determined to give it a go for this cycle! See what happens!

Re vits I'm taking Pregnacare, DH is on wellmans and I also take evening primrose oil and grapefruit juice up until ovulation and have started with the spoon of Manuka honey (which is boke) each day! I also take berocca for extra vit c but that's just coz it makes me feel good!

Have dtd yesterday and today, no positive opk as yet but I think it's building up so prob get pos opk tomorrow or Tuesday. Next dtd is planned for Tuesday anyway.....koala style!!! haha!

How is everyone else doing?

mama31 · 19/01/2014 19:44

Rossby how are you finding the Manuka honey?? It's so difficult to swallow....so thick and eugh in texture :/

mama31 · 19/01/2014 20:10

Oh and Rossby I think manuka is something to do with blood flow to the reproductive organs? I think! Where is mrskoala with all her knowledge?? Could do with a re-run of the koala plan from her!
