Guiltismymaster · 20/03/2014 12:19

Can I please climb aboard for the first time? I'm new and flustered and my timetable is crumpled up at the bottom of my bag with crumbs and loose change. Just scrabbling around trying to find the fare.

Here are my stats:
Guiltismymaster TTC#2, cycle 3, BFP due April 4th.

Good luck ladies.

lindamagoo · 20/03/2014 12:23

lindamagoo · 20/03/2014 12:24

Welcome aboard guilt Smile

Girls what's the best time of day to do ic opk's? And do I have to stop drinking a while before doing them?

MrBsMrsB · 20/03/2014 12:27

linda I too hope 1 shot is all I need. I really want my 2014 baby.

I will have my 2014 baby. I will have my 2014 baby. I will have my 2014 baby

MissMrsMummy · 20/03/2014 12:33

linda apparently any time between 10am-7pm. Do it at the same time every day. I'm not sure about having a drink before or how long to hold your wee in before testing! I got myself in a pickle using them last cycle so am back to cb digi this month.

MissMrsMummy · 20/03/2014 12:33

Welcome aboard Guilt sorry about AF Ginger

lindamagoo · 20/03/2014 12:38

MrsB you will have your 2014 baby, I can feel it in my bones Smile

lindamagoo · 20/03/2014 12:39

MissMrs thank you, you'd think I'd remember all this from last time but nope and I binned the info sheet

Sparrowlegs248 · 20/03/2014 13:46

Sorry to see you hear treacle and ginger in the nicest possible way and hello to newbies.

I have one shot at this bus but have had two months so far with two goes due to my short cycles.

Still not managed to get in at the docs. So frustrating trying to get past the guarddogs receptionists! And at a suitable time. I live 15 miles from the surgery but work 8 miles in the other direction.

This cycle i am:

Taking pregnacare
Using CB didi ov tests (for the first time)
Attempting to dtd daily.
Leaving brazil nuts out for dh to eat!

(what are the benefits? Also what does pineapple and grapefruit do?)

Sparrowlegs248 · 20/03/2014 13:49

On a positive note, cd 4 and AF is on her way out. Not feeling anything like as irritable!

MrBsMrsB · 20/03/2014 14:26

So a quick Google search has brought up the following for Brazil Nuts

They have:
Magnesium Required for hormone balance
Selenium Required for ovarian health, sperm health & detoxification
Vitamin E Essential for hormone balance & fertility

Check here

So it looks like DH and I will both be eating Brazil Nuts

.... thinks of how many people don't know the difference between a Brazil nut & a peanut who have probably accidentally gotten a bfp - Growls - gets over it

MrBsMrsB · 20/03/2014 14:27

Brazil Nuts

kurama · 20/03/2014 14:49

hmm iwonder if ican get my dh to eat brazil nuts??? hello to the newbies :) sorry to see you treacle and ginger (in a nice way of course)

Metalhead · 20/03/2014 15:15

Hello to all the newbies!

Linda I think with the ICs it's best to use between 10am and 8pm, and you do need to hold your wee and not drink anything for at least 2 hours before to get the best result.

lindamagoo · 20/03/2014 15:19

Thanks Metal, I did one just a little while ago, dark but not as dark as control line

Owlie84 · 20/03/2014 16:33

Hello hello!!! Do you mind if I squeeze on the bus? Just been kicked off the March bus by the bitch that is AF :( Pretty upset, but trying to get on with it!

Owlie84 TTC#1, Cycle 10, BFP due 16th April

I have bought some Lemsip cough mixture which assures me contains guaifenesin as the only active ingredient. I hope it tastes nice! Am I right in thinking you take it twice a day from the end of AF to ov?

I'm also going to try and get a Dr's appointment this cycle. Although we're on cycle 10, we've been trying/not trying for over a year now, and not even a hint of a BFP so far. DH has major performance anxiety (sorry TMI) which hinders things - we're trying to get around it by him DIY'ing (iyswim) - sorry, soooo TMI, but it worries me that this is not enough!

Crikey, sorry for the rant! good luck everyone, and penis dragon luck to all!!

lindamagoo · 20/03/2014 16:47

Hey Owlie, sorry the witch got you Hmm not fair at all. I took the cough medicine twice a day but mines was really yuck, lol, helped with cm tho. Hope you get a docs app soon and we will probably end up doing the good old DIY job aswell if things drag on again this time, we did last time after almost a year of ttc and it took a lot of pressure off of my oh and we got a bfp very soon after Smile

Owlie84 · 20/03/2014 16:51

Ooh, that's encouraging Linda, thanks! Grin

lindamagoo · 20/03/2014 16:55

I was 39 at the time aswell so was very lucky

Treaclepie19 · 20/03/2014 17:02

Thanks Spotti and Notta :)

Looking forward to a glass of wine!!!
Still keep worrying its not af but its been like it the past few months so just got to accept it has changed!
Off out for a meal with DH. Must remember it is only Thursday...

Owlie84 · 20/03/2014 17:06

I keep thinking it's Friday, Treacle! Have a lovely meal!
