I'm wondering if I have an addiction issue to these threads right now? I seem unable to move away for to long. My every waking thought and sleeping dream seems to be ttc and its symptoms.

Conceptionzilla I'm with you! I think some months are like that.. I'm a crazy person this month!! Only two or three days to go for me and I feel very pre AF like and had spotting yesterday so think I'm out Sad how are you getting on?

Aw, Cariad what a lovely thing to say Smile

Enjoy the acupuncture Spinning, I had sessions once a month for about 4 or 5 months and found it very relaxing, always felt full of energy afterwards. At my first session she took a really detailed medical history and took my pulse (they do that a lot!) I only had needles in my wrists/hands and feet/bottom of my legs.
She gave me some herbs to take (tasted pretty vile at first but got used to them) and my AF went from being very painful to pretty much painfree. I've been having reflexology recently as I was having to travel to see my acupuncturist and found a reflexologist nearby.

Glittery, acupuncture helps by stimulating pressure points that correspond with the reproductive organs. In my case my circulation wasn't great so she was able to get the blood flowing to the right places Smile

Genni, hope the next few days pass quickly for you- really hope this is your month!

Blue500 · 13/01/2015 12:29

Although acupuncture was an incredibly relaxing thing and woman I had was amazing (she told me 5 things about myself that she wouldn’t have otherwise known, just by looking at my tongue!) I found that it didn’t really do anything for me.

Granted I only did 5 sessions (5wks) so I probably should have done it for longer, but I just felt like I was wasting my money. It gave me incredible PMS straight from 1dpo and I couldn’t be sure if I ovulated or not as it seemed to mess up my cycle.
I think it’s just not for everyone and it didn’t do it for me but I don’t want to put people off it, as I’ve heard so many success stories from it, and I sincerely hope it works for you Spinning. Smile
In theory I should have kept it up for 3 cycles but at £45 a week I couldn’t justify it Hmm

ConceptionZilla and Sparkly123 I'm the same!! I can't concentrate on anything else

You're not out until the Red Lady sings

Nervous ok. We all need to have a good word with ourselves!!!! What stage you at nervous? BFP due soon? Wink

Nervous83 · 13/01/2015 12:59

Well and truely!! I'm not due to test until 22nd at the very earliest! BUT I do have a very busy weekend, we have DH's two boys and are packing up our house to move the following week so I'm sure the 22nd will appear before I realise wishful thinking?. I'm blaming it on fighting off a winter cold.

Linguaphile · 13/01/2015 13:32

Ah, thanks Failure, they are indeed lovely. They're 16.5 months at the moment... we're mad, I know. We just figured we might as well get the baby phase done and dusted since our life is already all about the babies right now! Hopefully the gap is small enough that they'll all be a jolly little gang of friendswe were worried that our third and definitely last-- child would feel left out of everything if they were much younger.

Here's to a few years of utter chaos!

Homeboddy49 · 13/01/2015 14:02

Wow, I feel pregnant just reading all these posts it's amazing!

Nervous, I only know my AF date from app as well. I am not taking temps yet although I have started to research a bit. I started with the clear blue Opk tests this month but had 3 days in a row of nothing when my app said I was fertile so I think the temps is the next step. I am reluctant to start as it means I will become more obsessed which is a bit pointless if hubby is away.

Nervous83 · 13/01/2015 14:15

Homeboddy Temping was the one thing that I said I wouldn't do from the start as I'm not a good sleeper. From reading everyone's posts about charts etc some people really get on with it. I feel like Fertility Friend moans at me for not inputting temps Sad.

Homeboddy49 · 13/01/2015 14:26

I work shifts as well so my sleep pattern is disrupted, I wonder if that would have a negative impact on temps.

Maybe I just need to wait for my cycle to regulate more after the mc. I Personally don't think I have ov as all the usual signs aren't here but that's a complete guess.

Just downloaded ff so I will see what that says ??

Mumwannabe82 · 13/01/2015 15:47

hi homeboddy, I just wanted to let you know that if you work shifts then you can take your temp when you wake from your longest sleep!! its the rested body temperature that's most accurate so it doesn't matter what time of day xx I hope that helps xx

GlitteryLipgloss · 13/01/2015 16:06

Did a CB digi. BFN. shit balls.

surferchic41212 · 13/01/2015 16:08

Can I join? I'm currently in tww.. So my stats are ttc#2, 31, cycle 1.. BFP/AF due on 20th, planning to test 17th 17th.. So far just felt tired and yesterday had sore boobs, but trying not to 'notice anymore as will get too obsedded!

surferchic41212 · 13/01/2015 16:11

17th 18th even.. Oh and have been having crazy dreams! (Again.. Not symptom spotting... Honest)

Boosk · 13/01/2015 16:38

Afternoon ladies, quick catch up time.

Thanks for the new stats Missmrs.

glittery interesting pics, a bit icky but reassuring too, from what I can feel that's sort of how I imagined it. Not that imagining my cervix is something I do too often. I agree that it does look somewhat like the end of a penis though, nice.

So 9dpo and no symptoms to speak of, which I'm taking as a good sign as I'd expect to be spotting by now. Managed to resist the hpts on the way home from work, have decided I will get a frer on Friday if no af.

Welcome newbies and sorry to those getting bfns today, fx it's just too soon.

tessiegirl · 13/01/2015 16:45

Hi everyone, just popping in to say I'm def out - AF arrived earlier. Ah well, only the first month of well timed dtd so guess we can't grumble! It does make you wonder though how on earth you do all you can (re plenty of dtd at exactly the right time) and you don't get upduffed!! Hmm Onto Feb bus for me... I will keep checking in on all you lovely ladies and hope to see lots more bfps! Smile Good luck and baby dust to all!

Nervous83 · 13/01/2015 16:46

Just came home from work early...feeling icky, don't know what made me do it but POAS......(OPK) BFP!!!!! CD19, phew back in the game Grin

Fx for all of you xxx

Boosk · 13/01/2015 17:02

Woohoo nervous Grin

Fab news Nervous

Nomio230 · 13/01/2015 17:17

Thanks for the stats missmrs, it must have taken you ages.

Good luck nervous

Thanks for the pics glittery. I honestly don't think I have ever considered what my cervix looks like before, but it was really interesting to see!

I am only 1 dpo, so not going too crazy yet, but I am sure I will soon need a good hard slap!

Wecome to all you lovely newbies. This is a great place to find support. Smile

Oh Tessie sorry to hear that. Onwards to the feb bus! I'll most probably see you there too!!!

Nervous good news.... Good luck!!

Surfer welcome!!

So, how is everyone, anyone testing tomorrow?

OP posts:
Boosk · 13/01/2015 17:38

Sorry Tessie, should have also sorry af arrived. Good luck for Feb Thanks Thanks

woodpigeon123 · 13/01/2015 17:38

AF due tomorrow for me....

I've had twinges today and a spot on my chin which usually are definite signs of my period.

Ugh!

I'll still test tomorrow though....

It's the hope that does me in - even though I know I've got definite signs of AF, I can still semi convince myself that I've also got signs that could mean a BFP!!!
So silly.... At least tomorrow I'll know and can be relatively normal for another 2 weeks.

xxxxx

Blimeygirl · 13/01/2015 17:45

Can anyone recommend a book about conceiving as my dh really doesn't have a clue as he said this morning and I think it might be a good idea for me to read up too! But just nothing too hard core even though we both have scientific based thinking. I just thought there is so much research that we all do together as a team on here that someone might have a recommendation?! Thanks ladies!
