Hi sorry to butt in,
does anyone know anything about evening primrose and starfolwer oil. I've been taking 1000mg evening prim and 500mg starflower oil for a few days now but it says on each bottle 'not to exceed the recommended daily dose'

Wondering if taking both could be too much

Sorry for tmi but it seems to have made my af 3 days longer, not heavy but really, really dark. Wondering if its a positive thing, abit of a clear out maybe? sorry tmi

1wish - sorry i have no idea. I'm not hot on supplements.

becklespeckle · 20/04/2007 12:43

Bye Scorpio!

Sorry bout AF but IKWYM about knowing where you are, I am always relieved when AF comes after a long cycle!

becklespeckle · 20/04/2007 12:48

Sorry 1wish, don't do supplements either!
Cheechy - Well done for getting to 10dpo, is your LP usually a lot shorter? Anyone who is holding off testing is doing sooo well. Am glad I tested yesterday because of the anaesthetic thing but now I am worried it was tricking me and inventing loads of symptoms for myself! Still haven't tested again though, I AM going to wait until tomorrow! I had absolutely terrible backache on Wednesday night which I put down to stupid chair was sitting on at work (too low for me, shortarse that I am) - fingers crossed it is going to be good news for you!

plummymummy · 20/04/2007 13:00

Scorpio, looks like I will be joining you on the May thread. Spotting started just after my previous post and now not red yet but lots of brown discharge on the pad so period inevitable. Not that sad. Can drink without feeling guilty. My last few periods have come around 22-25 days so my cycle is getting shorter. Will have to start trying earlier in the month I reckon.

Hey BeckleSpeckle,
Let's both hold off the testing together! I've not bothered telling DH yet that I'm late. It'll make it more exciting when I tell him. Look at me getting ahead of myself here.

My LP is usually 5 days, and the maximum I've had in the last year is LP8 so I'm nervous as hell, particularly since I've got a big party to go to at the beginning of May and will have to hide the non-drinking.

I should be doing work but I keep Googling "early pregnancy symptoms" and getting all excited whenever I need the loo AGAIN.

I just know in the back of my mind I'll be trotting over to TTC May by Monday...

Caught up now, fingers crossed for plum/cheech & beckle. Good luck laydees.

cheechymunchy · 20/04/2007 14:17

Yessssssssssssssss...need the loo again!
Obsessing? Moi?

plummymummy · 20/04/2007 14:58

Thanks but I have joined the May thread as I think I am now on CD1

becklespeckle · 20/04/2007 15:00

Plummy - sorry bout AF - you were so hopeful earlier.
Cheechy - I have been to the loo loads last few days too, and tired (although I go to bed late). I know I am obsessing as I am sure I ov'd this month and have never felt it happen before. Keeping fingers very crossed for you hun (and myself). When are you testing? I will test again tomorrow morning (48 hours should mean a much darker line). Does anyone know if there is a point in your cycle where you produce a bit of HCG even if you are not pg? Lots of people seem to get these very faint positives and then AF arrives so was just wondering?

becklespeckle · 20/04/2007 15:02

and talk about previous but I am going out next Sat to celebrate my birthday - lots of friends coming - how do I explain it if I don't drink? I just know most of them will guess as they are always asking if am pg again yet (cos m/c last year)

tigerschick · 20/04/2007 15:02

Gosh - at this rate this thread won't last out the month with all these bfps and afs! Not that I can talk as I'm already posting on the May thread as well as here

Good luck to those still waiting to test.

Cheechy - With having to hide not drinking - just had a thought: do you like G+T or another spirit and mixer drink? If so you could just drink the mixer, in a nice glass with ice etc and no one would think it was odd. I did that a lot when pg, not to hide it just as it felt a bit more special. (Mine's a rum and coke btw)
Oh, and STOP OBSESSING!!!!!!

tigerschick · 20/04/2007 15:03

sorry plummy - x posts!

See you on the May thread

plummymummy · 20/04/2007 15:12

Strangely I feel fine, but thanks for all the sympathy anyway. Off to calculate when my fertile days will be . Good luck everybody

cheechymunchy · 20/04/2007 15:27

Hey Becklespeckle, you and I really are on the same boat. I use fertilityfriend to chart and I've got a coverline to prove ov, also a +OPK, the longest LP so far too.

I'm going to hold out to Monday to test. 13dpo has got to be a good sign, if I make it to then. I left the house to walk to the part yesterday and didn't even get to the end of the road before feeling the need for the loo. I didn't get this until later on with DS. My periods back then were so unpredictable that I only took a test when I couldn't lie on my stomach from BBs hurthing so much! This time round, I've really tuned into my body and it's fascinating learning about all those changes in a month.

Might try and drop in to Mumsnet over the weekend to see how you are, hun. Take it easy, x

Lexie100 · 20/04/2007 15:40

So sorry to hear about AF's.

Mine still not here . will test tomorrow. Have back ache on and off which i never get. Hungry - well a need to eat every few hours and loads of trips to the loo. Oh I can't stand the suspence. Roll on tomorrow.

scorpio1 · 20/04/2007 15:41

good luck lexie

(the bag is coming out with me tonight on its first adventure )

im going to the pub.it is CD1 after all

tigerschick · 20/04/2007 15:42

You see - there is a brightside to AF showing up - Beautifully demostrated by Scorpio going on the raz tonight!

Lexie100 · 20/04/2007 17:27

Oh Scorpio have fun tonight. Don't let the bag out of your sight .

I'm going to have a glass or two as no idea if PG or not till tomorrow. I haven't slept for the past couple of nights just thinking about it all so it might be classd as medicinal!
