Morning ladies.

Bit cheeky but can I jump on board?? Haven't been riding the bus this month as have tried to take a more relaxed approach this month and think I may be seeing a very faint line. It's very early days and with my history (3 early mcs plus a still born premie) I don't want to get too excited but Grin

katecupoftea · 19/03/2014 07:14

Tips for not thinking about the 2ww choccy?

katecupoftea · 19/03/2014 07:15

sleepingstars post a picture of the line!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 19/03/2014 07:16

Oh retro we will miss you, as you are so good at cheering the bus up, but completely understand your step back. The move though is very exciting and will keep you very occupied I'm sure.

Sleepingstarsmommy · 19/03/2014 07:23

The picture isn't great but

Kate no big tips, I just didn't think about it, or come on here. I just got on with everyday life as normal Smile

Choccywoccydodah · 19/03/2014 07:24

Sleeping are you really asking????

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!GrinGrinGrinGrin

RetroHippy · 19/03/2014 07:29

MrsExtra, thanks Blush.

I'll miss all of you, hopefully will meet you on the penis dragon's anti-natal thread in a few weeks Smile

Best of luck all still to test.

RetroHippy · 19/03/2014 07:30

At least I can delete the photos of my nips off my phone now

It's pretty painful right now! Bearable at the moment though. Choccy they say emergency but I went to gp yesterday and I'm not being scanned until tomorrow.. They want me to see my consultant and that's the soonest they can do it. If it gets unbearable in the mean time, I have to go a&e. I can't take anymore bad news!

ItsChristmaass · 19/03/2014 07:36

And congrats sleeping!! Definitely a bfp!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 19/03/2014 07:38

If dh hasn't hit the button this month, I'm making 2 radicle changes. Giving up caffeine altogether and starting to exercise more. I cut the wine right down, which I thought would be hard, but wasn't. But caffeine is going to be hard. I think cold turkey is the only way. It's not helping my thyroid problems long term. Overall I just need to be healthier. I work very very long hours sometimes, not sure how I'm going to curb that? So finding the time for exercise is going to be hard, but radicle. I used to be a skinny size 8 before I had ds 2 1/2 years ago, but last year spent ill in bed mostly and thyroid not behaving has meant it slowly creeping on. I'm still in normal range but at the high end.

MrsExtraOrdinary · 19/03/2014 07:39

Sleeping Thanks I see a line!!

RetroHippy · 19/03/2014 07:44

I meant to join the gym in the new year, but kept thinking if I were pg then I probably shouldn't start exercising. So I'm going Saturday. And DH is coming with me.

I cut back on the booze this month, and don't drink much caffeine anyway. I don't take any preconception supplements, just folic acid, maybe I should?

I'm also fairly sure I didn't get any fertile cm this cycle. Last cycle it was there on the last day of my period and I went on the have a 17 day cycle, which fits with LP length. I suppose cod liver oil and EPO can't hurt can they?

spinningirl10 · 19/03/2014 07:52

Morning :)

Sleeping.....I can see a line!!! I am so hoping this is a healthy sticky bean for you xx

itschristmas....sorry to hear you're having a bad time, good luck for your scan tomorrow, make sure you go today if it gets any worse!! Thanks

Sleepingstarsmommy · 19/03/2014 07:55

A better pic here don't think there is any doubt!!

For those that are interested we only dtd on cd 8, 11, 13, 16 and 17 and think I ov'd on either day 15 or 16. The previous 4 months had gone for full out dtdathons, cough mixture, upside down naked cycling, the works but just tried to relax about it this month as I would have soon been heading for the mad house

Fingerscrossed36 · 19/03/2014 07:57

The tip I heard for cutting out caffeine was one less cup everyday. Cold turkey can give bad withdrawal headaches

Good luck, sounds like a pissed off but soon to be healthier bus. Where is that fire breathing penis dragon to reward us?

MrsExtraOrdinary · 19/03/2014 07:59

I'm taking epo retro but tbh honest have noticed any extra ewcm. In fact I think I had more before I started ttc. I'm going to give cod liver oil a go too, because if nothing else it should help my achy joints. I joined banatynes about 7 mts ago and haven't used the membership at all. Primarily because I had further surgery and up until Xmas I was still recovering. This year no excuse I just need to get on with it.

I'm going to put dh on vits because he's 40 and stressed! Grin

Fingerscrossed36 · 19/03/2014 08:02

sleeping congratulations hoping for a sticky bean for you

Nordicmom · 19/03/2014 08:03

I'm sorry to those who AF got :( !
Choccy glad you had a nice day yesterday , you really deserved it . Onwards and upwards ...
Sleeping I do see a faint line :)! I hope it sticks
Itschristmaaas I hope you'll be ok
Feel like this will be the slowest ever 2 ww. Normally week 1 goes fast and don't really think about it that much and then the second Is spent frantically testing . Now 4/5 dpo and can't stop thinking about it. Aargh been thinking about names ( must be crazy but for both kids we only agreed on the names we gave them and had no other options ) atm don't have even one we both like for a boy and only one maybe for a girl . Also staring at baby clothes on the net but haven't bought any where as before DS and DD I think too I got a few things ...

RetroHippy · 19/03/2014 08:07

Hmm, maybe I'll just stick to the folic acid and get on with it! DH I know is starting to worry that it's him, bless him. He'll be gutted that AF arrived while he was away, I think we both had our hopes up for this month.

Going to book in at the GP to get my blood test results. With this month being relatively normal I'm not sure what they'll show, but at least I can finally get the results! The issue I have is only the GP who referred me will give them to me. And she only works Thursday afternoons Hmm. Thankfully till late, but it's still a pia to get there.

Fingerscrossed36 · 19/03/2014 08:11

I put dh on zinc (for fertility) and b vitamins (seemed to be in most of the conception vitamins) however he seems to be on board so full on conception vitamins for him if we still need them when these run out.

I'm taking Tesco's pregnancy vitamins, which seem to have everything the more expensive brands have in them ( in higher quantities ) they are on 3for2. Also omega 3 (the constituent part of cod liver oil ?) thought you were supposed to keep away from liver products? Confused

Maybe the ladies reading the myth busting book could set me straight please?

PunkyPod · 19/03/2014 08:35

I think I have a smidge of a line. 8/9dpo so barely there but seriously there's something there. Going to hold my pee all day and do another test later.........Shock

Sleepingstarsmommy · 19/03/2014 08:54

Let's see a pic pinky?!?!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 19/03/2014 08:55

Oh punky that's brilliant news! I think your bfp was due the same day as me!
