Back to SQUARE ONE CD1! Anyone want to spend April with me?!

[Tee4me]

So AF got me this afternoon!! Trying not to get down in the dumps (although I just watched 'one born every minute' on catch-up and sobbed!)
Dusting myself off and hoping for better luck in April! A few stats:
Age-33
TTC-5th cycle
DC-1 DS (3.5 years old)
Anyone else at the start of their cycle and trying something new in the hope of a more successful month?!

hyper ovulation is the dream! Hopefully in a few days your already visible line will be darker. I've never watched OBEM, terrified I'll be put off child birth even more! I have never experienced it and I'm finding it extremely difficult to think about it being a possibility!!🙈

I LOVE giving birth! Really an amazing experience. My first was a section as he was breech and then I really really wanted a VBAC. As I hadn't been in labour they didn't know how I would labour but I did it in three hours and no pain relief. I haven't enjoyed pregnancy though. I get HG and migraines and anxiety.

Would this mean that people eating pineapple shouldn't take baby aspirin as well?

Hi MiMi
I have put on lots of weight - to be fair I lost he baby weight and then got lazy!
I didnt want to be overweight second time around - but hey ho. I think I will try SW as its meant to be ok if you are TTC or pregnant. I have eaten loads as have had half term - gorging on cheese, chocolates and anything else! Simply because I am bored I think!

I already feel myself going into the "oh I ace an excuse mode" where diet is concerned!!

I've just had a McDonald's!
We told ourselves it's the last one... Back to work tomorrow so healthy eating starts. I've got some juice plus left over so going to do that for next two weeks. Like you said something else to concentrate on!

My BMI is still in healthy range but I'm definitely not treating my body like a temple or a place for baby growing. That's why I don't think we will get BFP this month.

I can't remember who said it but I too am worried about going back to work tomorrow and the stress of it taking its toll and impeding the BFP

I Best Buy a proper pineapple then! I was just going to buy the tinned stuff, doh! Thats me being lazy

I absolutely love OBEM! Me and OH sit through it every week.

My hubby won't watch it. He says he's seen it all now lol!! He watched the section and he held a leg when I was in labour. He was fascinated by the placenta!

RememberToSmile I'm planning to continue with the aspirin and eat a little pineapple daily but NOT the core (which a the most potent part), just so I'm not overdosing on blood thinners. I'm only on a low dose aspirin (75mg), so hopefully that combination will give me a good chance without over doing it?!

I love OBEM but DH won't watch a second of it. I was hooked during my last pregnancy, but couldn't watch once DS was here as my labour was a bit difficult. Want to try hypnobirthing this time round. I thrived in pregnancy tho, really never felt better and I can't wait for that lovely feeling again x

Fx AF stays well away jod

My best mate is an obs & gynae doctor and has just started trying too. She text me earlier saying she has sore boobs which was making her excited - which made me feel a lot better about all my crazy symptom spotting. She knows the odds!

Speaking of symptom spotting... I'm 2dpo and had about an hour of small but persistent stabbing pains in my lower abdomen earlier. On the left hand side, just above my hip. Desperately trying not to get hopes up but also can't help but hope it's a little zygote getting comfy...

Suchajem, how do you know you are 2dpo? Temping?
They sound like ovulation pains to me but could be wrong... I get them really bad sometimes

I reckon that there will be an announcement on the news with shortage of pineapples & Brazil nuts in the shops! Ha ha.

I've stocked up. My DH thinks I'm crazy!

So my diet is up and running this weekend.
Lots of milk, yoghurt, Brazil nuts, pineapple. Green vegetables, eggs & lean meat.

Supplements are wheatgrass, evening primrose oil, coq10, Royal jelly & folic acid.

My tummy rattles! :)

Jod- stay positive!! Looks good with those lines.

Parney- was on pill for 6 years. I've been off pill since end of jan. Had withdrawal bleed in Feb, then was a 43 day cycle before proper AF in March! Currently on cd9.

Acupuncture was recommended for me as I had bloods done last week and my FSH levels bit too high. Gp says it could b that my ovarian reserve is low or ovaries are struggling to wake up! So the acupressure is suppose to stimulate the ovaries and get the eggs doing what they are suppose to do. Will try anything..

Boobs sore tonight and feel tired and nauseous but weirdly that makes me happy!! I'm so hoping maybe I ovulated later and I am just too early to be testing. I have 1 FRER and 1 Digi left but tomorrow I'm not testing. Really I'm not! I'm going to be strong (unless I can get to the pound shop and get some cheapies) lol!!

And in a strange kinda way I'm pleased that you have those symptoms!!
Those are good things to have xx

This time next week you will be surfing the Internet for baby bits and thinking what pram to buy

radders I'm lucky to have very regular cycles and got a positive OPK on Thursday, with EWCM weds and Thursday, so I'm fairly certain I ovulated Friday.

With a positive OPK Thursday I think it would be too late to be ovulating 3 days later?

Hi All, I wondered if I could join in with you guys? I'd love to have a safe place to chat over the coming months/weeks...

I am 33, and ttc my second child. I have a son, 3.5yrs old with a previous partner, and am hoping to conceive dc2 with my totally lovely dp (he has no children, but is amazing with ds).

I'm currently on cycle #2, day 3.
From my first unsuccessful cycle I have deduced that I have a 25 day cycle and ovulate around day 14, i'm hoping that won't be a problem. I've surprised myself with how terribly sad I was when af arrived, been super tearful since Friday, but starting to get my head around it now. I seem to have expected to get pregnant at the drop of a hat, maybe I need to have more realistic expectations!!

Morning ladies
Day 1 of my diet. Here is hoping I can lose a couple of kilos by the time I get my bfp. Breakfast :black coffee,no sugar lunch :2boiled eggs, boiled spinach super :large steak and green salad.

Sorry for af opal.hope u are lucky this cycle and you won't have to go through another heartbreaking period.

jod hope your line has become darker and we can start celebrating.

tee,I'm on baby aspirin too, so I best stick to that and have pineapples when the diet permits me to eat fruit.

remember hope you got to dtd one more time. Dh was too lazy last nite

Good luck with the acupuncture footprints .its worked for two ladies on other threads after 6sessions. A bit pricey but I guess worth it.

Good luck on the tww sucha and radder hope going back to work keeps your mind off ttc.

Hello opal
Thanks mimi good luck with the diet, I love a boiled egg snack. Make sure you don't feel faint - it doesn't sound like you are eating an awful lot.

No more needling pains this morning, it's all settled down. Nagging voice in my head says what if that was ovulation? If it was then we DTD Saturday and Sunday so should be covered.

But I really really hope it was some kind of implantation sensation. It was really definite and lasted over an hour.

Hopes up for this TWW already!

parney will be your poas buddy on the 24th, if the wicked witch doesn't show. Hope we can diet together. .have lost weight before on this diet but it takes a lot of willpower ((I love junk food)). On the other hand I already look like I'm pregnant, imagine when I do get pregnant..... .
