April 2015 bus #4 - Step aboard for bfps!

[auxiliaryauroch]

New bus! Ding ding! Bfp seats aplenty! Make haste!

That's some dedication missmartin! You've got all bases covered this way.

Night did you manage to speak to anyone else about early ov?

Sorry miis I can't get used to typing your new name.

haha its okay i just got really paranoid someone might go on here from my work or dps family ..call me anything

No no one will listen to me Merry at only three months of trying and one month's data. Maybe I am worrying about nothing!

Hopefully that's a good thing as they may think you have every chance? Have you looked into supplements which improve egg quality? I don't know if that will help just an idea. If the eggs aren't mature enough then maybe there's a way of improving them?

I'll do my best and call you miis. I would be outed within seconds if my own family come on here due to my name but DH family wouldn't have a clue so I'm safe!!!

Hey miissmartiin I'm CD9 too and also waiting for my thermometer to arrive in the post! Can't wait to start temping! I'm planning to do it at 6am as i wake up then for work most days! I will happily do the temping on my days off too at same time. Excited to see when I OV as it's not easy to tell. I do get the stretchy CM so that's a good indication. But that sometimes goes on for days... I'm determined this is going to be my month! Good luck everyone xxx

Can't find anything Merry :( just found a clinical trial that found that early ov isn't a problem! Seems they can't make up their minds. Perhaps I'm not doomed then

I had a look yesterday and from what I read it wasn't an issue. I don't think you're doomed at all. I have started to take coenzyme q10 which is supposed to improve egg quality but I don't think you should stress yourself out with anything at the moment. Three months isn't that long, I know it may feel like an age but honestly you will get there. There's every chance you will get your bfp this cycle.

Welcome to the temping world wish. It's very insightful and satisfying when ov is confirmed.

Thanks Merry :) And thanks for looking it up!

Does anyone else take agnus castus? My friend recommended it. Just trying to work out where to buy if from... Holland and Barratt no longer stock it...

What does it do wish?

Agnus castus is a very strong herb. It is supposed to help with pms, restore hormonal imbalance and kickstart ovulation. I took it for a while and had brown bleeding which disappeared as soon as I stopped taking it. I would proceed with caution as it can affect hormonal balance. If possible seek advice from a qualified herbalist before self medicating with Agnus castus.

Don't think my ov needs kick starting, it needs delaying sounds like you should talk to someone first wish!

Thanks for the advice dizzy I might try temping this month then give the AC a try. My friend is a qualified nutritional therapist, although not a herbalist she is very clued up on womanly matters as she suffers from endometriosis. She (and my GP) believe I have a hormonal imbalance which may impede on conception. I get strong PMS symptoms and heavy acne breakouts. I did try it once before but never really kept it up since holland and B stopped stocking it. So not sure if it really worked or not. But I will proceed with caution. FX tho as you never know, a hormonal imbalance may even work in my favour?! Let's see!

I have endo too and hormonal imbalance. I have started taking maca this cycle to balance my hormones. It's trial and error really with supplements and what works for one won't work for the other. You can get Agnus castus online.

So next cycle I intend to keep temping and using opks (although will use dual hormone ones this time). DH and I will continue to take Boots Conception Support and I will take EPO up till ov. Apart from regular dtd is there anything else we can do?

Miiss I'm also in the tww. Have ordered a few frer's so I might poas on Saturday. It's father in laws birthday party so I wouldn't want to drink loads of I'm upduffed! If it's negative then I can drown my sorrows!

Night I think that's an excellent plan. The only other things I would recommend is taking 3x Brazil nuts daily and eating pineapple core after ovulation. I read both these tips on here and I think coffee did this too. Fx it's a bfp this cycle though and you don't have to try anything but I find it helpful to have a plan in place.

Maybemrs fx for you.

Thanks Merry me too :) Will def do the Brazil nuts and pineapple.

Fx for you Mrs!

Just found out DP has to be away for 3 days with work right over my fertile period! So annoyed!!

Oh no parsnip! Will just have to fit lots in the other days, it only takes one sperm after all :)

Had my second call from Clearblue, they are sending my stuff in time for my next cycle :)

Oh great news night, I just sent me signed form back today so not sure when I'll get my stuff! Exciting.

That's so exciting night. Though fx for Sod's law and you don't need to use it

Hope you can still manage to time dtd around your fertile days parsnip

Hi ladies. I hope you don't mind a late in the day bus passenger. I am looking to hitch a ride on the May bus as I was rudely kicked off of the december bus due to a chemical pregnancy and I needed a bit of a break from ttc. I have done the clearblue trial and due to my mc I have been told I can re join if I like but I am not sure atm. Either way, I am happy to answer questions regarding the trial and what you need to do.
