Aw Nottalotta I'm sorry to see you here, hope you get somewhere with the doctors x

MissMrsMummy · 17/03/2014 17:11

Hi Notta I don't think short cycle length is a concern; they key thing is luteal phase length (number of days between ov and AF) Ideally should be between 10-14 days. Mine's only 9 Sad Taking vitamin B6 to try and lengthen it.

Sorry to see you (in a nice way) x

Lol wahoo for the new bus! Im currently on cd3 ans have ordered wellman vits for dh and thr conceieve plus stuff for me. Ive also got cb digi for this month so im ready to rumble!

Although I dont really like the idea of a december baby (I am one and it sucked growing up ) :( but on thr other hand if I did it would be due around dhs late nan who died last year. She wanted a gran/great granchild to be born on her bday.

Kurama ttc#1 cycle ? Bfp 12th april :)

Hello all. Feeling shit to be here tbh but here goes....

Nottalotta ttc #1 C11. Bfp 11th april.

AF got me today a day early, giving me an even shorted cycle than normal. 24 days. I'm sure this must be too short?

Phoned drs to make an appointment but they won't book me in. I have to phone 8.30 every morning until i get one on the day. Its shit.

Sparrowlegs248 · 17/03/2014 17:27

Thanks ladies. Not sure why that post appeared twice.
I'm wondering whether to invest in clearblue fertility monitpr. Have resisted so far as i always seem to be reading about ladies on here struggling with them and even just ic opks, and its just all a bit confusing. Agh. Going to have a couple of glasses of wine and try to buck myself up for the next round.

MissMrsMummy · 17/03/2014 17:31

Notta I found the CB digis really easy to use. Tried ICs last cycle and got very stressed out. I agree the CBFM is expensive and a big step. DH has said we could get that if we're trying for 6months+

Here are the digis. They are a half-way house between ICs and CBFM:

Sparrowlegs248 · 17/03/2014 18:53

Thanks miss I might have to give them a try. What day do you start using them?

kurama · 17/03/2014 19:11

toots123 · 17/03/2014 19:44

Anyone else a bit fed up with dtd so much? Takes the passion away doesnt it. Might need to google "new things to try in the bedroom" haha...

kurama · 17/03/2014 19:54

I know! I think my dh is glad af is here this week and that I have been on orders feom doc to not dtd last week and this week in case another cyst bursts..... it really sucks for me but dh said today "youll get me enough soon" I think hes had enough....

Just been kicked off the march bus so joining the April bus. Didn't know how frickin much it would hurt gettin thrown off!! New stats:

TTC #1 Cycle #2 BFP due 14th April

Just spent a small fortune on amazon ordering OPKs, preg tests, preseed and cough syrup!! Couldn't find any penis dragons but...

MissMrsMummy · 17/03/2014 20:26

Notta there is a chart which shows you what day to start, depending on cycle length. It's on the leaflet in the pack or online there is a tool:

uk.clearblue.com/when-to-start-ovulation-testing

Or the table is here. Go to the 'before testing' section:

uk.clearblue.com/clearblue-ovulation-test-range/clearblue-digital-ovulation-test-%E2%80%93-7-test-pack

MissMrsMummy · 17/03/2014 20:26

I've gone for the Clearblue digis this month. Picked mine up for £23.50 +p&p on eBay for 20 sticks. I have a very regular 28day cycle but just want to be sure exactly when I ov. Probably do them for 2 months and see if they land the same and work from that.

Been out to dinner tonight with family, inc my SIL with a 20wk bump. It's hard doing the baby talk when all the time you're just thinking 'I wish that was me!'

MissMrsMummy · 17/03/2014 21:30

Such a bargain Poly shame I've already got mine! Paid the same price but only for 10 sticks! Grr.

It's annoying when you have to spend time with other pg people! I met my friend with her 4 month old baby today and I had cuddles. Wanttttt!

prizeelliott · 17/03/2014 21:41

Can I join in please?!

Sparrowlegs248 · 17/03/2014 21:59

Thanks all. Was wondering how many i would need? I usually have a 25 day cycle, but 24 today. Off to find a bargain....

PolytheneGirl · 17/03/2014 22:05

Lol DH would still go Barmy if he knew how much I'd spent! Not to mention all the grapefruit, vits, cough mixture, lube... etc, etc!

MissMrsMummy · 17/03/2014 22:17

Notta I use one pack per cycle (the 10 stick pack) and usually have 1 or 2 sticks left. 26 day cycle here.

MissMrsMummy · 17/03/2014 22:19

I know Poly it's ridiculous! Now I've booked reflexology at £45 a session! Blush

PolytheneGirl · 17/03/2014 22:21

MissMrs he'd seriously blow a gasket! Luckily my feet are just too sensitive to tolerate reflexology!
