All aboard for a positive September

[Natty1806]

I know its only just the start of August but my next AF is not due until 5th September ish.

Sorry to hear AF has arrived for others that have to join me but here's hoping for lots of BFP's this month.

okay what did i do wrong! if you want to have a look copy and paste soz

JUST an update CD15 today feeling alot better more pos today also speaking to alot of my family again which is GREAT not spoken to many of them for 6 months now but now talking 3 of my 8 brothers which is fab, mother is still off her trolley my brothers are having to take her toilet due to her peeing herself because she's a drunk, but never mind that.
Got my book great read feel alot more in control and not so worried, and trying some self-help stuff. Temp highest its been today tuck the temp correctly today and normally never goes above 36.6 but today it was 36.7. I think I ov two days ago, good job we BDed 3 days in a row and we used "pre seed". I've not really had any EWCM this month (wish I knew about the EWCM before this month as I always have it each and every month oh well least I no the signs now)that's why I reckon I OV about the time I used the "pre seed" or day after, as then I couldn't tell my CM.
Will keep BDing but looking forward to PG test

Just want to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone for their support, understanding and the information, you ladies are out of this world and I mean that, off to town take my mind off stuff and most important staying pos and thinking pos tests for us ALL.

Morning TTCers. Babymad, it's good to hear you being so positive.

Think DH has picked up on how fed up I'm feeling. He took the night off work last night and took me out for an impromptu meal. I thanked him by bursting into tears during the main course because a heavily pregnant woman walked into the restaurant. I'm on CD14, no cm to speak of and I definitely haven't ovulated. To that end, I'm leaving the thread. I don't know what has happened this month and I'm a bit worried about how upset I've become.

Best of luck to the rest of you for a positive September, I'll keep an eye on the thread and will be sending you lots of baby dust.
xx

Babymad, am glad that you are feeling more positive, at least you know that you can off load here on MN and that we all do care

Andi - OMG feeling soo bad, had a midnight visit to the bathroom and havent been able to shift the sick feeling all day. Thank god it is ds's bedtime and i can relax!!

Hope eveyone else is doing well xx

Hello! Can u believe it we bloody broke down on the way and had 2 wait 4 ages for RAC. Then when we got on the beach - Robin hoods Bay- dd crapped all over herself so had 2 change her on a rock!!! Good job I brought xtra clothes!
Still it was great and I paddled and had icecream!
Babymad - brilliant to hear your family news! 8 brothers?! Thats a HUGE family! I'm surprised about the DQ thing. I've been fine taking it constantly through cycle and when I was suicidal maniac teenager I took it solidly for 6months and it sorted me out. I'd call a qualified herbalist to get proper advice if your worried.
dd Screaming colic now so must go and help her. Got some more ideas for u so will be back at some point! xx

Hello again! poor colic girl! did some hypnotherapy on her and it worked how hilarious! Did this natal hypnotherapy whilst pg so spoke to her like the cd and she went from screaming to zonked out! Will remember that for when she's old enough 2 ask 4 things in shops!
I know this sounds crude but u no how sperm can die from the acidic conditions in the vagina? well I was thinking that when BD it would make sence 4 him 2 b on top and 4 your pelvis 2 b raised on a pillow and then afterwards dont get up 4 a bit but raise your self so as much sperm as poss gets through the cervix. Bit clinical but may speed thing along??? I expect you've already thought of that!

manuka I'm one of ten, DQ some said can take it some say cant, give up! I need to sort myself out so I started taking it today, tablet form! So how long did it take to sorted you out!? Because I cant sleep or eat and crying and headache all the time and just depressed!

That's awful, I'm so sorry you're feeling so horribly diabolical. The Dong quai as tablets for me took about 3 to 4 weeks to get hormones more close to back on track this time. A few friends tried it and were very pleased with results quite quickly too but they took liquid form.
You've suffered a bereavement that is enormous and the shock from that loss will affect your whole body. At this time your diet- if you can think about it- is IMPERATIVE. Good food will make a difference.certain food additives aggravate depression because they leech b vitamins from the body and its the b vitamins that the brain needs to function correctly. Alcohol also leeches b vitamins so its a false relaxant.
bananas contain tryptophan which is calming and potatoes full of pottassium, also calming.
The situation with your mum can't be helping either.
Its good that you can cry because in the long run its a release. Hows your dh? Is he a good listener? It must be so hard to go through this and deal with children too?
I haven't experienced losing a parent but the grief I felt from pnd was very much lifted with St Johns wort and homeopathy. Have you tried homeopathy ever?
I think you should allow all this grief out and then conception will happen naturally.
A good homeopath will listen to your life story and how you're feeling now and will prescribe a remedy that's only for you. A lot of doctors are learning homeopathy now so it's gaining more credibility. my doctor prescribed homeopathy as he didn't want to put me on prozac.
I send you lots of love and with your permission would like to send you some healing to help you get through this horrendous time. x

Hi there everyone!

Hope you are all well and there are lots of ebfp on the way. I have not been able to post for a while as darling puppy chewed through two internet cables..(yes, two of them)

Very hard to go crook on her when she looks at you with a blue head and blue paws.. she has also been in dh's paint! She is so cute but oh so naughty!

Feeling quite well. No actual vomiting as yet, but do feel nausea most of the day. Have taught kids at school new rule.... No stressing miss out! Working fairly well so far.

Cant wait for my byump to start growing. 5 wks now! Hospital quite stunned have had no af for 85 days and still got pg. Leading fertility specialist and gyno has asked for me to see her exclusively. Sounds good. Hope she is nice.

No idea what happens now... just waiting to have my first scan I guess.

{grin}

manuka I don't like talking about emotional thing to DH, we are so close but feel unable to that at the moment, I don't like crying as if the children were to see me they get upset so I try and surpress it. I don't want to try anything else but will be at a later date if I still feel the same, but I'm sure things will pick up soon. I don't smoke and I don't drink Alcohol, things I eat are well balanced so I cant understand why I feel this way, but I'm sure it will subside soon. Thanks chat later as of to Notts, should be good!

WantAbabyNOW what kind of dog have you got? Your bump will grow soon enough, you lucky thing you lol, I had morning sickness, morning, noon and night, ended it in hospital twice with it LOL. Hope you have a happy, healthy PG! Glad your well!

Morning all- babymad- how'r you today...?

Wanta- hows that naughty puppy? And you of course..

Hello to everyone else- well.. im cd 27 of a 28-32 day cycle and did a test yesterday- bad bad me- it was a bfn.
Am going to wait till cd 32 now, can't take the disappointment. Feeling lousy today- not ill just a foul mood, depressed etc..pmt? Probably.

xx

im so confused.
my normal 7-9 day af has been a mere 3 day....
what the hell is my body up too?
pos not a "true" period? ah i just give up!
how the hell can i get pg if my body is not keeping up its end of the bargain! im shoveling in all the "healthy" crap i can stomach aaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

*

ok feel better now. still feeling down, andi and babymad feeling it with you girls! lets keep out peckers up hey!

(bloody mood swings)

Hi NattyandThom- do you think perhaps that wasn't a true period? I guess the only way to tell would be to test-god I really hope you are.

I know what you mean- I too am behaving like a health guru and my body WILL NOT play ball. My mood this last week had been dreadful- my dp has gone into do overtime tonigt and I accused him of trying to get away from me- then i said i couldn't blame him - then I started crying. I am never like this, am normally calm and laid back. He has called me 3 times already to check up on me. AARRGGHH!!

lol @ you guys.... I say our bodies love the bad stuff!!

Naughty puppy ( maltese terrier) is well and is eating kangaroo meat.

I am pretty good. No up chucking yet... thank goodness.

Tried booking appointment with hospital and specialist after being asked to see her and wasnt able to. I wish people would do as they are told!!!

LOL....

I need to lie down. I am stuffed.

Hope everyone has had a good day. 4 more work days till the weekend!!!

It is very quiet on here today, am I the only one at work?!

I have a dilemma and I wondered if I could ask your advice.

DH and I discussed having a baby before we got married in June and agreed that I would come off the pill and we'd see what happened but we would actively try from this Christmas.

Since then, we have discussed moving to Spain (we live in Scotland) to be close to my family and to start a new life there. We plan to move next Sept/Oct. DH knows that I would prefer to have a baby first and that I would like to have it here due to medical reasons etc etc. I would just feel happier for the first one that way. Also, I would like to know that I can have children before moving to a country where I do not know about IVF and other infertility assistance.

Clearly, it would be better to move with a baby who is more than a couple of weeks old and therefore, I would like to get pregnant asap. Therein lies the rub, DH is worried about money at the mo and I think if I came out and said that we should actively try now, he might refuse but if I fell "by chance", I think he would be really pleased.

So, I have been doing all I can for the last few cycles to conceive without him really being aware that I am but this cycle, I have got myself all upset because I cannot get him to BD on our best days (becuase he's tired or busy or something like that, not because we have problems in that department or anything) and I don't really want to spell it out to him because that sounds mercenary and puts pressure on him.

My own thoughts are that I'll hope we managed this month despite only BDing on good days rather than the best ones and if we don't fall, I will have to spell it out to him next month.

Any advice gratefully received! I am not being sneaky, he does want a baby but his mind is not in the same place as mine as far as the larger plan is concerned.

Morning ladies getting some self confidants back but slowly, went Notts to do some shopping yesterday it was a good day!

CD17 today been getting pos-ov-test for 7 days now but NO EWCM only alittle creamy or abit dry, so I think I've already OVed but that's good as I think I OVed about the time DH and I BD three days in a row . Been taking DQ let you know how that gets on. Temp an all time high this morning 36.8

WantAbabyNOW I have a golden lab bitch and she is a *** but she only 9mths old, and she my baby!

MrsMcJnr I've read your dilemma and I have to say I'm no good at giving advice, soz I will think on it today! And/or I can ask DH what he thinks from the man point of view if you like, would you like me to ask him?

Hey Babymad, glad you are ok and getting back to your usual self. I tried the pre-seed, DH did not notice a thing! Hopefully you have done the bizz this month. I have had pos ov tests for 2 days now so am just hoping that BD on Sat might count (software said it was a good day but yesterday and today are the best days - hope and pray for tonight). Thanks for offering to ask DH. I know everyone is different but it would be worth a man's view. Keep smiling

MrsMcJnr He said yes it is a difficult one, but he said there will be abit of pressure on him already since you both decided to go down the TTC route anyway, you could try the soft approach first see if it sink in, then spell it out for him if it doesn't, and you cant go wrong with a good sit down and nice chat! From my DH.

How many CD are you?

dont know whats going on in this ere body andi, and i am not doing another test, theres not much point as it wont show up anyway (like i mentioned B4 no bfp till 12 weeks when carrying thomas) feeling stressed out so not really caring at the momnet.

dp thinks i am suffering from PND but sure that is not true. work and money and everything is geting me down thats all.

mrsmcjnr - do you have a mutiual friend of the both of you? if the friend asked questions like "when are u moving to spain" and than said "but wont your dw want to have her first baby somewhere she knows?" he might click to it. the thing about men i have found is that they have no ability to look ahead. they dont think that in 9 months time a baby would be perfect, they only think I dont want one NOW.
my DP also says he dosnt want to activly try till after xmas.. to which i said i would come of pill and what happens happens. (yet i am frantically trying to think of ways to make him BD on rights days )
failing that just talk to him. get a calendar out and show him!
good luck

Mrsmcjnr!! I did that at first and didn't conceive anyway and I'm glad cos I'd have felt I did something too sneaky even though he wanted one but not at that moment due to finances.
I think the only thing you can do is follow what your heart is saying and if its not feeling guilty then carry on but if it is feeling guilty then just be really honest with him. I did and he said he didn't want one yet then two weeks later changed his mind as he realised bollocks to financial situation lets get on with it!
Good luck and good luck with Spain!! god how fab to get away to the sun and the sea!!

Morning ladies!

Sorry to hear you are down NattyandThomas, feel free to pour our your heart, doesn't have to be about TTC, sometimes it is nice to get it off your chest.

Thank you all for your advice, very much appreciated and all made perfect sense, I'll see whay happens this cycle and try out your advice next month if I don't get anywhere. I think there is a lot of truth in what you all say. I don't feel like I am being deceitful or that I have anything to feel guilty about though because we have agreed to TTC and to have a baby. My DH is just a bit old fashioned in some ways and just expects me to be able to do the necessary without having to take an active role. I tested him out the other week and asked if he'd feel left out if we did not test together, he looked a bit shocked and said that that was a woman's domain!

I am CD18 today and according to my chart, I should ovulate today. I have had 2 pos OPK yesterday and the day before (didn't bother today), have had very sharp pains in my right lower ab and am really bloated. Temps are still low but I suspect I'll get a rise tomorrow. CM is not great and though we did manage to BD yesterday (chart says timing was "best" ) I didn't use any pre-seed and suspect that I should have done . If I can persuade DH again tonight and use the pre-seed, I will be satisfied that we have had a good shot at it (no pun intended this cycle.

How are you all? how are my cycle buddies? Babydust to all

Mornin to you all, back from weekend at Blackpool,Soooo cross with DH as i had ov pain and fertile mcon fri whilst travelling up, and DH wouldnt prefofm as we wetre stayin at his parents and he said it didnt feel right, AAARRRRGGGHHHH men dont you just love em, now hes doing the really sorry feel like i let you down bit.guess we dipped out for a pos sept now.....
