Blue shoes and nappy-mess [hopeful] (No1 Babies Detective Agency pt3)

new thread...

Hey everyone, hope you are all ok.

Nomore it's just shitty that the evil old bag turned up, but not to worry, I can wait for you (and everyone else who wants to come along)

welcome Shoesarefab, the people on this thread are fab too, you can tell us anything - and we will totally understand!

nearly bought steel magnolias in hmv the other day - it was £3 in the sale but didn't (don't remember why - think the q was long and i ws fed up and couln't be arsed to wait...)

Gilly - Thanks for bigging me up about my temping dedication. Truth is, I have not been doing it properly for a couple of cycles, and I am not temping at all this cycle - It was beginning to get tiresome. Right now I am just using CM as a guide
Do you have full flow for 6 days? Or is it lighter and spotting at the end? Because I have 5-6 days of what I call my period, but the last 2-3 days are light then spotting. I would still look into the herbs just as an accompaniment (sp?) to the acu. Please don't fret about your cycle length, so long as your LP is 10 days that is long enough for a baby to implant. Big hugs, hate the thought of you worrying.

Shoes... - Twice daily - impressive.

Spooky nomore , Well it would have been had we not been talking about it the other day

Gilly - YES! Seen the Gap baby stuff

Sybil - Thanks for saying we are fab

gillydaffodil - I think we'll find come sunday that a dream is all it was :9

Thank god for being regular as clockwork, that way my hopes dont get dashed when i am late

Ready - its a bit of a drain to be honest with you!! But surely, doing it that much must speed up the process?!

Shoes - I like the thinking, the more shots on target the more chance of a goal Finger crossed for you. I have to say I don't think either DH or I could go twice a day every day, but hey ho

Im hoping he'll get bored of the novelty soon, lol.

What supplements are people taking? I bought Sanatogen Pro-Natal? Is there anything eles I should be doing/taking?

I read a book called Planning A Baby by Dr Sarah Brewer but it scared the beejaysus out of me. My friend made me throw the book away

Shoes - I would say just keep taking the pro-natal vits (I take pregnacare, but they are all the same I think) as they are good for you regardless of ttc. And at this early stage I wouldn't worry too much about doing anything different, just enjoy yourselves

Gilly - When I said spotting, that was my polite way of saying the dregs/discharge - Full flow for 4 days sounds about right to me, sounds like you don't need to worry about that then!!

I've got pregnacare sitting on a shelf at home getting ignored. I suppose I really ought to be taking it, and if anything actually did happen, I'd be kicking myself. [talks sternly to self]

Friend 'in the business' recommended every 2 - 3 days from day 9 onwards. Shoes 2x a day! 2 x a week would be good! (dh not helping ttc very much)

Afternoon all

Welcome Shoes!! Looks like you've fitted in straight away - welcome to the gang!

Sorry to hear your AF arrived Nomore!

Hello everyone else!

All this talk about full flow for 4 days is scaring me!! I have very light flow for 1 day then full flow for 1 then light again for 1 - does this mean something might be amiss?

toomuch hiya
ready just put 'cod' as a word in scrabble thinking you'd be well impressed with my topical-ness but then it was a different game

Phew - thanks Gilly! Thought there was something new to worry about.. Sorry to hear about AF!

{waves at nomore}

toomuch - mine tends to be 3 days and just regular flow. no period pains either and always arrives on the same day each month. I wonder if this has anything to do with my 12yrs on the pill?

No period pains, you lucky thing!! Mine are agony for the first day. I also get killer 'foul mood' pms when it starts. DH has been known to beg me to take long baths so that I'll go away and stop being awful to him. I can't tell you how much I am looking forward to not getting that for the next nine months (fingers crossed...)

yeah, I put it down to the pill though as for the first time last month I got them. I thought I was going to die. Lol.

I never get ratty though, a little tearful sometimes :-)

hi shoes (are we ok calling you shoes?) and toomuch I get mega emotional (mostly weepy and very 'touchy' - I think everyone's having a go at me) on the clomid - mostly when I'm taking it/straight after rather than at af. Most of my pmt symptoms are physical - before pill I got awful stomach cramps, hot cold fever, after coming off pill - back ache, heavy boobs, on clomid - spotty skin/greasy hair

nomore - shoes is fine, i'm only using my email address name as my initals (ELH) are taken!

As for spots, since i stopped taking my pill my skin has been disgusting. really big spots on my chin/forehead/cheek(!) etc and then little pimples on my chest and back. It makes me feel really dirty and unclean - however much I wash

oh it's miserable being greasy isn't it? I feel about 13 again
so tell me more about yourself then shoes...nice things, not spots! I'm guessing you like shoes for one...

haha - obsessed with shoes. I have over 250 pairs of high heels.......

Three younger sisters, one of whom has a little boy who is 1 tomorrow!! She is 7yrs younger than me. She did everything first, bought a house, got engaged, baby etc. Cow!!
