All aboard the spooky train!

Hi chandlers well of course dh is planning a rematch retest! Haha. It was only a home test, so could be a load of bollox. But I really want dh to have the proper tests. Have to say though I never had a problem getting pg before dh and I got together. I had the opposite problem. So although I know I've got like a million things the matter with me, I had most of those things in my 20s too. So it could be a very valid problem. Obviously not impossible or we wouldn't have ds. So concerned but not over worried. He's on double zinc now though! Wink extra in addition to the conception vits.

Allatonce....they'll be a few of us testing then, let's hope we all get our bfp's Grin

spinningirl10 · 09/09/2014 19:46

MrsE, what dosage of soy do you take? I've been reading up and I've decided to give them a go. Mine are 50mg tablets. I'm going to take them at bed time starting today on cd3.

MrsExtraOrdinary · 09/09/2014 22:10

Well I only got mine from tesco so they come in 40mg. This month I started on day2 of cycle as opposed to day 3 last month. So I'm doing days 2-6. 2 and 3 I've gone for 120mg, tonight I'm going to take 160mg and then tomorrow and Thursday 200mg.

Side effects slightly loose bowels, extended pmt this month. But it's definitely sorting out this rubbishy heavy af pretty pronto. Are you tempted spinning? Kitty did days 2-6 last month too. I think there are pros and cons of starting earlier and later pre ov to the cycle.

MrsExtraOrdinary · 09/09/2014 22:12

So you need to do 3-7, which is what I did last month. You don't have to increase each day. But it does help build a peak pre ov. My boobs feel huge!

spinningirl10 · 10/09/2014 06:57

Morning Grin

That's great MrsE, thanks. I took 100mg at bed time and I'll take till cd7. It will be interesting to see when I ov as i usually get a positive on cd10/11 which is a bit early so if it moves it by a few days that could be good.

Pikz · 10/09/2014 07:22

Sticking my head round the door as I think ill be joining you all soon for some upside down cycling with MrsE

Seems like lots of plans a foot

Blueberry just for you and chandlers. I had adhesions and pcos when ttc my Ds and it took 18 months, some help and lots of tears but he was conceived and is now a boisterous nearly two year old. Don't give up hope

MrsExtraOrdinary · 10/09/2014 08:05

Spinning that does sound early doesn't it. Well I definitely noticed a shift to an earlier ov for me. But it does state it has a balancing effect on your hormones, so be interesting to see what it does for you.

Pikz that's just pants! But a spot of tandem upside down naked cycling never fails to make me chuckle so very pleased of the company Smile

Pikz · 10/09/2014 08:12

MrsE and spinning I'm tempted by the soy as my cycles are just getting longer and longer Hmm I'm on cd35 and no AF but bfn. It's really getting me down now.

MrsE did it bring earlier ov?

MrsExtraOrdinary · 10/09/2014 09:10

Pikz I was in exactly the same position with 2 cycles at 40 days and 36 days I think! It brought earlier ov and a perfect 28 day cycle back. So although I didn't get my bfp last month am definitely giving it another couple of months trial. It definitely got me into a proper rhythm. I don't think we dtd enough prior to ov though as I was surprised ov shifted earlier. So this month I'm ready for it. I've bought dh lots of baggy pants, he's now on double zinc, he doesn't drink or smoke , but he is overweight at the mo. We are going to do another home test and then if nothing had happened by end of October off to the dr we shall go! Shock

Sent my deposit to the solicitor yesterday. Still waiting to exchange, but should be in our new home finally by the end of the month. Grin

frogbubbles · 10/09/2014 09:36

That's great news about the house MrsE. Good Luck with the move Smile

MrsExtraOrdinary · 10/09/2014 09:54

Thanks frog! Smile I'm terrified and thrilled all at the same time!!

Aprilray · 10/09/2014 10:37

Ooh, I so hope you get your egg in time Chandlers!

MrsE great news re the house progress. I bought some manuka honey yesterday. DH wasn't impressed re price, said I could have bought 10 pots of normal honey. It is so delicious though, he kept trying to take some but I was like- No!! My manuka honey!!. Was feeling so out of sorts yesterday and definitely gave me a wee boost.

MrsExtraOrdinary · 10/09/2014 12:06

It does taste lovely April and much better than normal honey. It's nice to find something that actually does taste good that's good for ttc unlike cough medicine Confused I've noticed a real calming effect on my bowel, so even if it doesn't aid ttc I think its one of those super food things that everyone should know about.

spinningirl10 · 10/09/2014 13:04

Pikz, sounds like you could benefit from taking soy.

Yay MrsE, you'll be busy packing now then!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 10/09/2014 13:18

Spinning I know I should be packing but I've so far only managed 3 boxes! Grin Ivd cleared loads out though, does that count? Most things we are throwing away or leaving so surely can't be too bad. It's all integrated furniture that we can't take in this house so having lovely new furniture in the new house Grin

Pikz · 10/09/2014 13:53

Spinning and MrsE what strength and where did you get them?

MrsExtraOrdinary · 10/09/2014 14:11

Pikz mine are only tescos own brand. But you can get them on amazon. Mine are 40 mg so I'm doing 120mg first 2 days, then upping to 160mg on day 3 and 200mg on day 4 and 5. Think spinning said she was going to keep her dose static at 50mg a day for 5 days. It's very much personal preference as to what you do. Kitty increased her dose slowly days 2-6. Which is what I'm doing this month. Last month I opted for day 3-7. If your cycles are becoming erratic like mine were you might benefit from increasing the dose daily.

spinningirl10 · 10/09/2014 15:11

Pitz, mine are 50g and came from Amazon. I took 100g last night on cd3, going to have same tonight and then maybe 150 for 2 nights and 200 for 5th day. If I have any nasty side effects I won't up dosage.

spinningirl10 · 10/09/2014 15:12

Sorry pitz, should say mg not g Grin

MrsExtraOrdinary · 10/09/2014 15:15

Did you have any side effects at all this morning spinning? Smile

MrsGingerbread · 10/09/2014 18:07

Hello ladies!

I have just got kicked off the September bus. I am not trying next month, but it looks like I might just squeeze in a bfp at the very end of the October due to my short cycles. So can I jump on board please.

MrsGingerbread, 32, ttc #1, cycle 7 (mcs 3 and 4) bfp due 30th October

MrsGingerbread · 10/09/2014 18:20

Oh, I wrote a message and I don't think it posted.

I've just been kicked off the September bus, and need a month off now, but I could just sneak in an October bfp!

MrsGingerbread, 32, ttc #1, cycle 7 (mcs 3 and 4), bfp due 30th October

TheProofIsInThePudding · 10/09/2014 18:26

My neighbour has just told us that she is 5 months pregnant. They are a lovely couple and I am very happy for them, but I am also quite upset about it. For various reasons we've waited to TTC for several years and now it's so close, but still so far. AF is due in the next couple of days and then we will have officially started, but it could still take months sigh.

spinningirl10 · 10/09/2014 19:52

MrsG, sorry to see you here. Fx for this cycle.

Proof, fx you get your bfp soon.

MrsE, no nothing at all so far!
