Ah yes lovely old wives tales, perfect, my Chinese friend has to be like @Adrianoska & make her mum happy when she was TTC & pregnant as her mum was totally into the “don’t eat or drink anything cold” & it drive her mad as she’s a pharmacist & was like “it’s a load of BS but it’ll make her happy not to do it in front of her!” 😂she lived with her mum at the time whilst they were doing their house up & used to come to mind for cold drinks 🤣

I went to Japan & spent a lot of time rubbing buddhas’ bits...I never got pregnant though 😆

@Mrsirvine - it's eating certain ground seeds during your follicular phase to support oestrogen production and different ground seed in your luteal phase to support progesterone production. I've been doing it this cycle - so who knows! Can't harm though. Here's the article:
www.tomakeamommy.com/seed-cycling-for-fertility-how-i-used-seeds-to-get-pregnant-after-infertility/

@SmileyT - don't forget to grind or blend the seeds! Essential! Also makes them so much easier to eat if you're not a fan. I'd love to try acupuncture too. And see a chiropractor

@adrianoska congrats, so happy for you, off to find some bird poo....
@ ginger et all, af due sat 16th, I am keeping it cool for now, but will get frantic closer to the time, don't know why, we only bd once in the fertile week,🤷

Ltay2 · 03/05/2020 12:52

@MrsEmilyB I'm definitely going to give seed cycling a go next cycle if this one isn't successful. What do you use to grind the seeds?

paintfairy · 03/05/2020 12:55

Wow I can't keep up!

@MrsEmilyB I usually get too hot during my LP and I can't stand hot feet! 😂

@Newbie0818 Yeah you sound similar to me. I'm now day 41. Was positive AF was starting this morning. Had cramps at 5am. Not horrendous but you know how you get the ones on AF day and they start getting more than a niggle, but before it progresses to full on cramps? Well that. I even got up and put knickers on etc. There was some light red blood. But by the time I got up later this morning- nothing. And still nothing.

Usually for me I get spotting on and off before AF but never cramps. I also had some light cramps over the last few days. My cramps only usually come on CD 1. Sometimes I get them day 2 as well. But never before. My AF usually starts properly too. Once its coming its coming. None of this maybe stuff!

NicNac85 · 03/05/2020 12:58

Hi @Franklydear I am the same and that we only DTD once the entire cycle! There’s still hope, once at the right time is all you need FX. I am a couple of days late and waiting for a test to turn up in the post today but so scared/nervous. Hate seeing BFN. I must have spent a small fortune in tests! This month I have restrained myself and only tested once quite early but BFN.

Good luck to all!

MrsEmilyB · 03/05/2020 13:14

@Minster2012 - rubbing Buddhas bits 😂😂 I've done enough rubbing of bits lately pahaha!

My LH seems to have dropped right off today - come on body hurry up and ovulate 😒 I'm trying to convince myself my body is taking its time making the perfect egg for this cycle and the perfect womb lining for the bean to snuggle into...

@Ltay2 - I use my cheapy breville smoothie blender (seeds go in first with 50mls liquid) and that seems to work well. A pestle and mortar would work too I expect!

Minster2012 · 03/05/2020 13:33

Damn it @MrsEmilyB so all those seeds o just liberally sprinkled over my salad NOT blended aren’t gonna do my seeds any good FFS those 5calories will have been in vain then...let’s hope the quickie afterwards with fantastic up suck I’ll have you know 🥳🤣will have done the trick instead! Man I’m horny as hell currently! Let’s hope your body is making the perfect egg & from the sounds of it they’ll be PLENTY of galant swimmers round to greet it 🥳

@paintfairy let’s hope those cramps are a sign that AF isn’t coming (love the fact you said you went to put knickers on!) I can’t sleep without knickers on I would worry if we had a burglary 😆🤔DH is the same!

@NicNac85 does your postie come on a Sunday?

paintfairy · 03/05/2020 13:37

@Minster2012 really? They annoy me! Digging in. I used to sleep in short PJs before my DH came along. But now I've got used to sleeping with nothing, I hate sleeping in anything! I think if we had kids, that would fast change. 😂

NicNac85 · 03/05/2020 13:39

Hi @Minster2012 Yep, looks like it’s on it’s way today! I’m feeling so strange!

@paintfairy ah no I’ve got some lovely (they actually are) and get comfy Primark knickers for nighttime, I actually prefer to wear a vest too as I hate my boobs flopping about all over the place (D cups) disappearing into my armpits 🙈😆but our room very hot so rarely do now 🙄

@NicNac85 it’s probably because you know you are going to get an answer lovely, could you watch a film in the mean time? Or a comedy? I recommend watching the wonderful Mrs Maisel on Netflix if you have it (it’s a good thing for ladies to watch!) you can easily while away 45mins watching that? Or have a bath? Xxx

paintfairy · 03/05/2020 14:06

@Minster2012 it's not on my Netflix? Just looked.

Minster2012 · 03/05/2020 14:07

Oh no sorry @NicNac85 it’s amazon prime 🙈🤦🏼‍♀️Sorry

Minster2012 · 03/05/2020 14:07

@paintfairy even 🤦🏼‍♀️

paintfairy · 03/05/2020 14:10

😂 don't have that. Bugger.

myhappystreak · 03/05/2020 14:21

@Minster2012 your seeds and upsuck comment made me laugh 😂 lol

@NicNac85 are you going to test right away? Please say yes lol

MrsEmilyB · 03/05/2020 14:36

@Minster2012 - I honestly have no idea. The article said to blend or grind, so I've been blending - however, if we can extract calories from them unblended, we can surely extract other goodness too?

Oh my god I've been so horny too. Its unreal. DH keeps teasing me and it's making me so mad 😂 he caught me on the stairs earlier and did just enough work to get me going, then fucked off on a cycle ride. Bastard!!

@paintfairy I'm with you. I mostly sleep butt nekkid! Maybe I'd scare burglars off @Minster2012 😂 if my boobs get sore/heavy before AF I'll wear an amazing supportive, seam free sleep crop top from M&S. I should really wear it all the time being a 34E but I forget and I like them being free haha

NicNac85 · 03/05/2020 14:58

@Minster2012 thank you for the recommendation, will take a look Smile

@myhappystreak I think I will as soon as it comes, I’m scared but I don’t think there is any point in waiting now as the result will be accurate and if it’s not BFP then I suppose I just wait for AF, where ever it is although if it turned up now it wouldn’t be hugely late.

Hoping for a BFP, hope these symptoms aren’t in my head

Xx

Adrianoska · 03/05/2020 15:01

NicNac85 · 03/05/2020 15:08

Congratulations @Adrianoska!!

My delivery has arrived early, caught me off guard. Just looking at the box
