Pregoween is getting nearer, come on bfp's clearer and clearer!

[Treaclepie19]

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

I think I am about 4/5dpo now Genni so looking at the end of next week before AF arrives or possibly may go over into November. The consultant I have seen keeps telling me that 95% of people who don't have any issues are pregnant within 12months but I've never read of the stats being that high anywhere else and surely she has to come into it as well so not sure where they are getting that from.

Brilliant pic Teenie, I was also thinking I would probably have to skive off work as I would be too shocked / excited to do anything!

Oh dear wanttobe, your poor dh. You could do doggy when you have to dtd, that way you won't have to look at him

Lucie, keeping fingers crossed for you.

Genni, I'm having to wait until Nov 18th to see Accupuncture lady but felt same as you that I'd rather see her as she's Zita west affiliated. Let's hope it works for us both

Popping on to say that AF has arrived and for once I am delighted. We've decided to try again next cycle (having skipped this one) so I shall be crossing over to the November bus, but I fully intend to keep lurking here to cheer on the final few BFPs.

Yey teeniedeenie congratulations!

Boo for the AFs .

I think I should prob come off the stats list now as I ov'd yesterday so even with a frer Im unlikely to get a BFP at the end of October. But I'll be hear shaking my Pom poms and cheering to the bitter end. Pregvember is going to lucky for us all!

Thanks spinning

No problem dozy, will take you off the list and keep fingers firmly crossed for November for you!

Thanks Sunbathing

Thanks Cariad Yay to your wtf cycle being over with, I hope you Pregvember brings you your BFP.

Sorry AF arrived Genni
Good luck with Soy! There surely needs to be some more soy babies if the stats are to be believed!

Actually Lucie I think I need to come off too...my 1st peak day on CBFM was Tues but I think I actually ovulated on Weds - I had the weirdest short sharp pain in the right side for a few mins which I thought could be ovulation happening?! So that makes 31st 9DPO (nt entirely sure when AF is due because cycles are adjusting post pill) so a bit early to test I suppose. Will still be cheering you all on though!!

Ok joey will adjust stats, there's hardly any of us left!

BFP..

I've pink cm and period pains. Is it worth me clinging on to any hope?

Wow there's only a few left on this bus now! really hope it ends on a high.

I am having the most painful period ever. I may have to go home earlier. I don't normally suffer this badly, I wonder what is causing it! It's weird how some months are awful and others are fine.

fx for you nutella.

Funny you've said that genni, mine has been awful too! I've been in so much pain and so dizzy. Lots of clots too (sorry for tmi) :/

Hi ladies! Thank you all so much for the congrats, as you can imagine I’ve had alot to think about in the past few hours, my head is spinning! I feel very, very lucky (and a little bit guilty if I’m honest) to have gotten my BFP so early on as I know a lot of you have been here for some time. You have been a great support to me the last few months and I have been on mn every day to see how you are all getting on. I will be keeping my eye on the Pregtober and Pregvember buses so I can check up with how you are all doing and shake my poms poms every now and then, I hope that’s ok

Here are my stats -

teeniedeenie34, age 34, ttc#1, cycle#3

Came off Mercilon b/c pill 27th July and started Sanatogen ‘Mum To Be’ prenatal vitamins the next day and been taking them daily since.

Cycle 3 - We DTD CDs 10, 13, 14, 16 & 18. I was struggling to get a positive OPK this month so it is possible I missed ovulation, however I think it may have been around CD18/19.

Symptoms – I have basically been cramping since 3dpo and felt awful by 5dpo so I kept a diary of what was going on in case I needed it for the doctor -

1-2dpo – Nothing.
3dpo – Started to get slight AF like cramps but didn’t make sense as it would have been a week early.
4dpo – AF like cramps again.
5dpo – AF like cramps, bloated, exhausted by 3pm, have a large meal at night, jeans feel tight, feel really uncomfortable sitting down, constipated and look tired.
6dpo – Bad AF cramps, was sure it was going to arrive, felt terrible after eating lunch, bloated, jeans tight and uncomfortable. Shivery and cramping by 5pm, took paracetamol and spent night lying with blanket on couch. Felt awful.
7dpo – Woke at 6am with cramps, bloated, ‘bubbly’ tummy, can’t get comfortable lying on my stomach in bed, feel too hot.
8dpo – Cramps subsided but feel like I have a stitch in my side when walking around, too hot, can’t get comfortable in bed, can’t lie on stomach.
9dpo – Wake 4am can’t get bac to sleep, cramp and backache come and go, feel achy down in pelvic area, exhausted by 3pm, constipated, go to bed very early.
10dpo – Feel ok today but tired by 4pm, constipated, got to bed early.
11dpo – First good night’s sleep in a week, cramps, backache, diahorrea, uncomfortable after eating lunch.
12 dpo – Tired, feel like I have stitch all day long in both sides. Decided with OH to test tomorrow morning.
13 dpo – 7am BFP

Hi Ladies

Ok quick question for you all. Which pre conception multi vits. I have been taking just folic acid and vit d but I think im going to switch - any views?

Great stats Teenie thank you for those, it's always useful to look at other people's symptoms etc.

Katy, when we first started ttc I took vitabiotics pregnacare but they made me feel awful and gave me loads of 'symptoms'. I know a lot of other ladies on here have found the same so I can't recommend them. Maybe sanatogen or seven seas? I just take things separately now which I find suits me...folic acid, vitamin d, omega 3, berocca and then epo before ov.

Thanks lucie I only have such in depth symptoms each day because I thought there might be something wrong and I'd need them for the doctor lol

Congrats Teenie you've got my hopes up now as ive been having cramping and bloating im 4/5dpo

Katy I tried the multi vitamins but they made my cycle 7 days longer so stopped them straight away.
Im the same as Lucie I take lots of separate tablets mostly because of my coeliac (Iron, Vitamin d, Calcium, Folic Acid, B12 complex and epo at the start of cycle)

Awesome stats teenie. Thank you.

Katy I took the pregnacare ones but they made me feel so sick and headachy (DH also said I turned into super bitch on them) plus they delayed my AF by a week causing me to get excited and think I might be pg. But I know some people are fine with them. Now I just take stuff separately too.

I take pregnacare but other than neon yellow wee I don't think they have made me have side effects - cycle definitely not longer (29 days, was 31 pre-pill) and only had symptoms in run up to af which were af type symptoms. Now in early cycle and no symptoms. Think it depends what is best for each person I know lots of people said bd things about pregnacare but I already bought 3 packs so using them up hen proba will go onto plain foil acid as they are expenaive

I take sevenseas and they haven't caused any problems at all so I recommend them xxx

Woohoo Tennie :) excellent news xx

So glad Af arrived for you Cariad, good luck for pregvember xx

Sunbathing, once we get this month complete I/ we will get An thread set up x Too scared to tempt fate atm xx

Ah bother!! Boosk & Genni, sorry this is not you month good luck in pregvember xx

Katy you are not totally out yet are you? X

Random question - November is Autumn isn't it?

You know my thinking. Autumn Beans, Summer Babies
