Cheesy title I know.
All aboard for the final stretch! :)

MrsE, from what I read taking it on day 3 should help make it a better egg. It's a good point though to take it on cd4/5. To be honest dp and I are away for a week from nov 20th and if I take them as I've done this cycle and I ov early it would prob mean I could get af out of the way before hols

How are you feeling now?

Well tbh I'm still feeling shit. Dh was lovely yesterday, walked me in and out of 7 restaurants for lunch yesterday, I finally settled on restaurant 8. He took it all in good spirits. I'm barely eating. Think we are going to pay for an early scan at 8 wks. Just to see why I'm so huge. A lady asked me In a shop yesterday how far along I was, I had to lie, I'm soooo fat.

My mother is descending later with bday cake as its my eldests birthday. Ds is 16 today just can't believe it. Hoping she doesn't notice how shit I look. She has a sixth sense about me being pregnant but hoping her radar is focused on ds today. I'm not ready to tell her.

MrsE, ahh it sounds tough going! 8 restaurants!! At least dh is sympathetic now. Would the nhs not scan you given your size? I wonder if it's twins/ triplets
Happy birthday to your ds, hope he enjoys his day. You'll have to wear a baggy jumper.

I bought 3 baggy jumpers yesterday. They are all ridiculously stupid. One is ok but the arms are too short, one is long swing style which actually accentuates my bump, and the other was more like a crop top exposing bump underneath. The disguise isn't going well

It could be im just full of water. Or it might be to do with my stomach as opposed to my uterus. I'm off all regular meds so it's very painful. Could be my stomach problems. Still waiting for a scan of stomach.

My gp was fairly useless. I asked about my size. She didn't think that was reason enough for a scan, just that each pregnancy was different. Anyway it's only £69 so a small price to see what's going on and can have it at a convenient time.

I just dropped my last internet cheapie in the toilet
I'm 10 dpo. AF due tomorrow.
sob sob.
I best go get a FRER for tomorrow!!
eeek

Lol at the disguise it's typical that when you want something big and baggy you can't find it.
Sorry to hear you're still in pain, doesn't sound like that will improve anytime soon, how many weeks are you now? I think 8 weeks is a good time for an early scan, I'd be paying for one at that stage to.

I'm 7 weeks on Saturday. Still so early on. But already looked it up and they don't recommend before 8 weeks. I had scans at 4-5 weeks last time and it was just more worrying than comforting. So just another week to go and hopefully we can see what's what.

Lol nutella that's a good way of stopping yourself testing too early. I think it's best to wait till after AF is due. So few ppl seem to get a positive pre AF.

AF is a cruel cruel witch. Feeling sad for all of u that can feel it coming or it has arrived.

Oops Nutella

7weeks MrsE, that's fab, not long to wait for scan then!

Well af has arrived super early on cd21!!! I think maybe I'll take the soy on cd4 and see what that does. I know short cycles are not good. Not sure soy is good for me as I actually ov'd on day4 of taking it. Will see what happens this cycle and also speak to the Accupuncture lady about it when I see her.

Hmmm maybe I shouldn't take the soy?!
KITTY are you lurking, what do you think?

Spinning don't think you answered earlier but I was wondering what dose of soy you took?

Oh dear! Nutella!

spinning that's a short cycle! mind you, you still had a decent LP didn't you. And means you get more chances too.

I've left a message for the acupuncture lady. hoping she calls me soon.
I'm in two minds whether to take soy or not. I think I'll do some reading up on the train home but haven't got long really to decide if you start taking it cd2/3. Am also going to order some more ic opks tonight and also order some softcups. Oh and manuka honey. I'm also upping my exervise- I've reduced it due to ttc but I feel fat and bleugh now so think I'm better of exercising!

Spinning that is early maybe put the soy off as late as possible?

Morning ladies!

Firstly to all of those who have had a crappy few days on the bus. Please use the weekend to do something that makes you happy and spoil yourselves. You all deserve it so much!

MrsE your description of the 8 restaurants and your latest disguises really made me lol this morning. I am so sorry to hear you are still in pain though... Really hope your scan gives you a bit more insight to what's going on in there.

Sunbathing how did your scan go?

CD31 here (of a 28 day cycle). Still cramping and crotch watch has reached new levels... Am going into town this evening to buy some tests for Saturday morning, Superdrug BOGOF here I come!

Terry first time I took:
100mg days 1-2
150mg days 3-4
200mg day 5

Cycle2:
100mg day 1
150mg days 2/3/4
200mg day 5

Not really much difference there!

Genni, you and be both with the exercise! I've eased right off and been eating more so I feel a bit rubbish! Back on it from tomorrow

Nutella - can't believe you dropped your hpt down the toilet! Mind you that's probably preferable to losing it in Costa Coffee (as a certain member of this thread managed to do a little while ago!)

Glad your midwife appointment went well Sunbathing. Fx for your scan.

Good luck hiding your pregnancy from your Mother MrsE - hope the baggy jumpers work.

Sounds promising Teenie - we could really do with some more BFPs on this thread.

CD27 of my WTF cycle at this end, and if my CBFM was to be believed, AF should be here today. I'm really hoping she turns up soon, but I'm slightly concerned that this cycle was anovulatory and destined to be very long

the worst part was fishing it out i didn't want it to get stuck in a waste pipe!! haha. I also embarrassingly did take a look at it to see if the pee had had a desired affect!

xx

MrsE I'm sure you can get away with complaining about how your stomach issues are playing up and that's causing you to be all bloated. You can even talk about all the medical appointments that you're having to "sort it out"!

Are you see though my mother is no fool. I can't mention the fact the heamatologist agreed intravenous iron, but I can't have it until April? What would be the reasoning? So I'm just not mentioning it. She would also want to know why I can't take the meds ive found so beneficial before for my stomach. I've already had convos with her going is something going on because you haven't phoned me. She's got one of those sixth senses that mothers home in on. I'm going to have to put a hell of a lot of make up to get through the grilling.

Sorry AF arrived spinning. I think if I were you I'd take the soy later in your cycle - maybe 4-8 or 5-9. That way it shouldn't alter ov date just give you a nice string egg. I only started at cd2 because like MrsE, I was ov'ing pretty late.
MrsE - sorry you're still feeling crap! I hope DM doesn't suspect anything! And happy birthday to your ds! Let us know when you have your scan

Cariad - I hope your wtf cycle ends soon - they really are a ball ache!

Sunbathing - glad your me appointment went well! How far are you now.

Fx for you Teenie.. Hope the witch stays away.

I have one, single ic hpt left. I will not use it until Thursday next week. AF should arrive by then if I've not hit the jackpot. Come on little bean - get sticky, get comfy and give me my BFP! PMA!!

She may also quiz me because I can't stomach tea, or birthday cake or anything remotely normal. Ok I'm doomed! Why do mothers make you feel 12?! I'm 34 FFs!

Of course I will English! When do you get to poas?
