Great news, Xxbec! Have a great 9month. Have you started temping Flourishing? Fridge and Really, you well?

"Waiting for AF" rhymes with "Waiting for Godot" and is almost as absurd I just realised Hmm.

XxbecquixX · 11/09/2015 14:58

Thank you Reni, I'm full of optimism right now which is great!

How is everyone else doing, any sign of AF today Reni x

FlourishingMrs · 12/09/2015 04:12

congrats XX I am so pleased for you, still on flashing smiley here, temp out of sink due to cold, but plenty of Cm, more than any I have had since Mirena removal. Big argument with DP. Put me right off.

How is everyone else doing?

Reni we've missed you - you're back and you're already talking about the theatre of the absurd!

Huge congrats Xx is this your sixth?!

Still trying to get started on my first. DH has been taking zinc, Vit C, co-enzyme q10 and all manner of other bollocks to try and get his swimmers going.

I've been AWOL a bit as took ages to sort my login stuff out post-Jeffrey.

reni2 · 13/09/2015 13:10

AF showed up yesterday, a day late, just to tease me a bit. Will start temping tomorrow. Back to school, back to TTC. Dh doesn't take anything unless you count red wine. I take pre preg vitamins intermittently.

ReallyNotAMorningPerson · 13/09/2015 14:17

Reni I'm not sure if you were around but DH got his test results back and he has poor sperm motility. He needs the extra help sadly Sad I was thinking of leaving the TTC board as things are going to be a struggle. However, trying not to lose hope entirely!

XxbecquixX · 13/09/2015 14:53

Thanks ladies, I'm so pleased but worrying over every little cramp or niggle :0( yeah Reni baby no.6 lol (I know I'm insane!)
I deffo recommend that conceive plus stuff as I was going through my notes on FF and I had noted that (tmi I know!) 2 days after we had last bd'd I noticed the leakage of previous put up there swimmers lol
That's got to be good eh?

Just tell him flourishing that your not his friend but in the interest of conception he can do you doggy rofl!

Sounds like your taking the bull by the horns morning, keep it up, always a good feeling like your doing something, moving forward x

I took those pregnacare conception tabs but I found they gave me cramps, odd eh

reni2 · 13/09/2015 15:03

No, I didn't see that, really, are you going to do another check soon? Motility can change quite a bit I believe.

ReallyNotAMorningPerson · 13/09/2015 15:13

That's good to hear reni. That's a good idea - maybe get him on the vits for 3 months and see if they will check again.

Once we got over the shock we tried to see the 'funny' side... DH is very laid back and also has a poor sense of direction. Quite fitting really that his swimmers are the same!

FlourishingMrs · 13/09/2015 21:14

Oh Really, I am glad you are keeping some humour with it all. Yes X Doggy it is this week. I did order the stork thing in time. Not sure DP will like it. He is very atheletic with a good sense of direction. so in Really's logic .... It must be my ageing eggs and Mirena.

Reni will you use OPK this month? I think I should try the Vit B6

OP posts:
reni2 · 13/09/2015 22:26

No OPKs, flourishing. At it like rabbits until a couple of days after temperature rises is the plan.

FlourishingMrs · 14/09/2015 23:12

Sounds like a good plan

OP posts:
XxbecquixX · 15/09/2015 16:35

That's sounds good flourishing make sure to let me know how the stork works out!
I feel so ill I don't know if this is a bug or morning sickness but I feel like dog poo!
I tried to eat a bit of lovely rib eye beef, it cost fortunes and it tasted like cow with mud on it hoofs lol (best way to describe it!!)
I've never felt this way before, possibly as I'm a bit older now?
Gawd knows why, I have barely eaten a morsel in days :0(

reni2 · 15/09/2015 21:48

Cd4 and not started temping yet... maybe next month. I tend to ovulate on cd9-11, possibly too late to start tomorrow. The temping gives me a feeling of doing something, almost as if temping in itself will help conception. Need to get a grip urgently.

FlourishingMrs · 15/09/2015 23:12

Go on and temp Reni, you got to feel in charge, CD15 and still on flashing smiley, CM not so strechy...

I love a good rib eye steak Xxx

XxbecquixX · 18/09/2015 20:48

Hey ladies how is everyone doing?
I'm taking a new tack, I'm trying being positive lol
I spoke to my mum and told her about my worries etc and she told me to trust my body and to try to enjoy each day regardless of what the future holds so that's what I'm trying!!
I went out today and bought a couple of lovely pink and blue bits as a sign to the universe that I have faith this baby will stick and be in my arms all healthy and squishy one day lol
I booked myself a private scan for early October so fingers crossed Smile

FlourishingMrs · 19/09/2015 08:29

Well done Xxbec, that's the spirit, it will stick this time, I like your proactive approach, no doubt the scan will be good reassurance. Positive OPK here. dtd last night, not sure if I should jump do this morning or let him replenish. Will tomorrow morning be too late. Internet cheapie was positive last night 9pm and clear blue digital this morning.

OP posts:
XxbecquixX · 19/09/2015 08:42

Well I reckon get another session in now, they say it's only necessary to replenish if there's an issue with quality or quantity.
You only need the one :09

FlourishingMrs · 20/09/2015 23:36

Got another one in this morning LH still positive strongest line I have ever had, much darker than the control line.

OP posts:
reni2 · 21/09/2015 11:26

CD10, did not manage to get temping this month. Dtd week since CD8, bit of a late start.

Other than that, we are in the middle of back to school madness, trying to re-establish bedtimes (yes, 10pm is too late for a 7 year old), normal eating patterns (no, three ice lollies do not make a good dinner) and homework (no, not optional), bleurgh. Maybe we should be more disciplined during the holidays so we don't have to do this domestication routine every time.

Fridgedooropen · 23/09/2015 00:35

Hi folks, sorry I've been slack about posting. AF is due today for me (naturally, it's a busy and stressful work day just to add to the joy). DH was away at the best times this month so not expecting anything. Aiming for more DTD next month (although I'm pretty sure I said that last month... Blush)

bec CONGRATS! You sound in good form.

Flourishing good work on the extra shot this morning Wink

Really have said this earlier, but my DH was diagnosed with borderline poor motility and started on vitamin E, magnesium and zinc. 3 months later (the time they say it takes to kick in) I got a BFP. Don't give up hope. They would have retested but by then the proof was in the pudding.. Wink

reni I hear you on getting back into the school groove. DS loves his sleep and it's been very hard to get back into school bedtime habits.

Good luck this month all! Will report in as I go.

FlourishingMrs · 25/09/2015 08:31

Count day 26 here, but only 6DPO of the OPK is to be believed. Not holding much hope this month so pretending I am not TTC.
Fairly settled into school routine and managing 8.30 bedtime, must get it back to 8pm next week.
Bec how are your symptoms?

OP posts:
XxbecquixX · 25/09/2015 19:27

Oh girls I've been in hospital bodily I'll.
They are saying its severe morning sickness and now also a kidney infection!
They scanned me but the sonographer could only see the gestational sac so I'm booked in again for Wednesday, they are throwing around terms like PUL ( pregnancy unknown location) and a molar pregnancy, and also possible twins! They moved me up for another scan today as my last hcg was 7010 and they were hoping that they would most certainly see something today but I took really ill and was taken back to a&e, they pumped me full of fluid and my new hcg results came back at 14100 so gotta sit tight and hopefully I'll turn a corner now!!
I'm praying it is just a kidney infection as I have never ever suffered from morning sickness before Confused I really do t know how I could survive feeling like this for possibly another 6 weeks if not!
