Wow snow bells, that's some serious commitment to TTC!!
Can I ask do you take angus cactus & evening primrose all the way through your cycle or only for part if it??

BumpNGrind · 05/02/2014 22:15

I've told DH to take zinc supplements, they don't work straight away but can help with sperm. Also, I've read that men shouldn't have laptops on their laps, it overheats their balls which kills of the sperm.

Treaclepie19 · 05/02/2014 22:15

Thanks missmrs haha, not sure its patience since I've already tested :p
I know i will want to test Saturday... We shall see!

missmrsmummy · 05/02/2014 22:42

Re. Agnus Casttua and EPO - supposed to only take them until ovulation, but since I am not detecting the much expected egg, I am still taking them on Day 21!!!

Fertility breakfast is yummy! Makes me feel like I'm on holiday, and having room service...

Zermatt · 06/02/2014 06:36

Just got my first +opk :) I've been doing 2 a day (neurotic? moi?) a CB digi first thing and have been negative last few days, and been doing a cheapie one in the afternoons, yesterday I started getting ewcm, this mornings CB digi was negative but this afternoons cheapie was positive! Am going to dtd for the next 4 days.

Thats all folks.

missmrsmummy · 06/02/2014 07:14

Hooray Zermatt - go for it!

onelifeonechance · 06/02/2014 07:14

Congrats Pebble and sorry to those af got, best of British for next month (also applies to any international friends!) Good luck Treacle!!

missmrsmummy · 06/02/2014 07:38

Still no smiley for me this morning goes to Google for stories of women who didn't get a positive on their OPK but still got pg

missmrsmummy · 06/02/2014 07:43

I

missmrsmummy · 06/02/2014 07:44

I just realised I haven't been testing at the same time every day - could that be why? Varying from 7am to 10am.

I have used fmu every time though.

EnglishGirlAbroad · 06/02/2014 08:19

MissMrs I dont think the time of day you use fmu would matter much. Are you using clear blue opks or ic's? I think with ic's it's recommended to not use fmu.

Mammy2Be · 06/02/2014 08:31

Hi gang. BFP this morning. Beyond excited!!! I'm on other threads. TTC#2, cycle #3
But a question - today is 16 days DPO. I've been testing since about 10 days DPO, all negative. The most recent being 2 days ago. Does that sound possible - to get a BFN 14 days DPO and still actually be pregnant??
Want this so bad, worried I'm reading something wrong (although was a digi test so a pretty conclusive 'pregnant' Smile)

Penguinttc · 06/02/2014 08:46

Is the hormone doubles every 72 hours (so I have read) then yes, definitely could happen mammy2be!! Congrats!

Penguinttc · 06/02/2014 08:48

If*

Hi squeakybeaky!!! Have you oved yet? I've had strong lines on my sticks the last two days :/ nice to "see" a "familiar face" from last cycle :)

Eurgh... This is going to be a long tww I feel!

Penguinttc · 06/02/2014 08:50

Missmrsmummy I think it's suggested you don't use your first morning urine incase you miss the lh surge if your only testing once a day.
Last month my lh surge was in the evening, luckily around day o I test 2-3 times a day and I saw it, because by morning it was gone.

spinningirl10 · 06/02/2014 08:59

Morning all Grin

I'm 10 dpo was going to poas but woke up early desperate to pee and forgot to save!!! Haha have to wait till tomorrow nowGrin

Onelife...good to see you. Please report back on the reflexologyGrin

Mammy....congratulations!!! 16 dpo, wow that gives all us crazy ladies some hope when we're worrying about getting a bfn at 10,11,12 dpo!!!

SnowBells · 06/02/2014 09:05

Onelife Me, too! First reflexology appointment this evening. Grin

Wineandchoccy · 06/02/2014 09:20

Yuk I've just had cough medicine for mucus cough and it was disgusting, the things we do to try and get pregnant are mad Grin

It's Cd12 for me and I'm using opks this month not had a positive yet but dtd every other day so having a good try this month.

Writerwannabe83 · 06/02/2014 09:32

Brilliant news mammytobe Grin

I didn't get my BFP until 14/15dpo despite testing daily sometimes two or three times a day on IC since 7dpo. I was actually surprised it took so long to get the BFP result as when I used the CB Digi (the day after my IC BFPs) said I was 2-3 weeks.

Congratulations again!!!!

MovingOnUpduffed · 06/02/2014 09:39

Can I please join in. I'm txt number 2 and this month will be cycle 9. :-( I'm due to test on 26th but I am in the middle of being diagnosed with endometriosis and I am losing hope that this is going to happen without help.
Finding it really hard this month, been in awful pain with a 7 day af, and keep seeing babies everywhere. A friend has just had her second baby and while I was lovely to her in real life I went home and sobbed for a while.

missmrsmummy · 06/02/2014 10:38

English and penguin I am using cb digi which says you should use fmu. I wonder because I've done it at different times I could have missed the surge as there could have bed more than 24 hours between tests.

However, no sore boobs which I def would have now if I'd ov'd Sad only 4 expensive tests left!

Maybe I'll get ics for next month so I can do 2 or 2 per day?

Yay mammy what great news!

sazzlehopes · 06/02/2014 11:17

missmrs - i used the cbfm and did that in the morning(i never found it a promblem) but i did like to poas on ic in the afternoon too, juts to make sure because i am crazy!

Onelife! Oooh enjoy the reflexology. Sounds like perfect timing just before ov. FX for you. Let me know how it was. And you too Snow! I'm not going now, they don't like to mess about until you reach the magic 12 weeks, but I liked it so much (and her) i might go every other month to keep everything all ok during pregnancy.

I'm fine though thanks. Feel no symptoms still. I'm 6 weeks today, so feeling more confident every day that this one is meant to be. Been to the docs, and have my first midwife appointment at 9 weeks. So 3 weeks today which will drag I'm sure! Really hope to see more of you on the October board.
Congrats to Mammy!!

spinning ooh you are poas time. I absolutely have my fingers and everything else crossed for you lady that you get a bfp x

missmrsmummy · 06/02/2014 11:30

Glad you are doing well sazzle

When you tested twice a day, did you ever get a different result on the same day?
