The Grapefruit drinking knicker checking ttc brigade

[yellowflowers]

Hello,

As Nelix has a bfp (yay!) and she started the last one I thought I'd start this one as a continuation of this thread

Here's hoping we all get BFPs this month but if not then let's continue the thread until we all graduate

Heeby dont go, you keep us sane that all the ttc gets a pg in the end

Don't go without me Heeby, I'll try not to be too long !

Have a fab time, those of you jetting off to exciting places.

pezzina - it's not over until the old witch flashes her draws, fingers crossed that it's implantation.

heeby i command you to stay!!!
you are our mascot -now i gotta go i have some celebrating to do

Heeby - just look at me - posting on our thread in antenatal when I'm not PG and posting in here even though the MC is too recent for me to TTC !

just stay where you are comfortable and feel supported - and I bet that is in here

I went out and got very very drunk last night for the first time in months My head and stomach are really not speaking to me this morning. It felt good at the time, but I don't think I'll do it again anytime soon - can't cope with the hangovers !!

Howdy everyone!! hope you are all well.

I'm just twiddling my fingers and well thinking am I ... am I not... goush this is the hard part, forget the pinning DH down to do a bd!

I have a couple of pg tests lying around and couldn't resist testing... I know .. I know... yes, it was negative but I think I am getting used to doing the weeing on a stick routine, so thought why not. I think after I get pg I may need to go on a Peeing on a Stick Anonymous course!

Guess this two week wait is going to be very slow.

Had a few twinges bit like a period pain yesterday but it could be the spog bol i had yesterday afternoon!!

Speak to you all soon
Cindy

Aahhhhhhh! thank you guys, i'm honestly touched and feel very welcome, thank you. It's strange cos i feel in a sort of limbo, i don't want to start shouting about it yet but at the same time feel bad for talking about it on here when you guys are still waiting, mind you, that said, i wanted the BFP'ers to stay when i was still trying so maybe as long as i don't go on and on i'll hang around until you kick me off! (plus i can tell you all about the horrible feelings of nausea i have from the minute i wake to about 8pm - lovely!)

jools i have a lot of love and respect for you, i hope you can jump back on that band wagon soon and feel as much as back to normal as you can - had to giggle about the night out, has been a long time since i got silly drunk!

smiley where do you live then if you are coming back to the UK? I still find it exciting and amazing that people from around the world can talk in the same place - i know sad huh. Wow did you hear about the telephone being invented heeby ..... yes ok i'm a little in the dark ages still!

c1ndy when is you AF due date? the twinges could be good news?

So where is everyone at? i have lost track of who is testing soon, is the list up to date?

lots of love to you all and thank you so much, i felt really sad when i thought i'd have to leave here!

plus ... i posted a couple of times on the july thread and no one acknowledged my existance despite asking questions. humph.

I'll stay here where it's warm and cosy and full of lovely ladies!

Just to add to what everyone else has said Heeby, even though I've only been on this thread for a few days I find it very inspiring to know of your success post MC so do stay around! As someone said before, you are now the grapefruit mascot!!

Pezzina - how are you getting on today?

C1ndy - the two week wait is so slow isn't it....I'm now certain I've ov'd as EWCM has cleared up completely. Have movements and twinges down there already and even though probably only 2dpo I'm beginning to wonder! (Last night, for example, I was convinced we'd done it this month). Silly, silly me...!

Heeby glad you're staying

Queenie No more spotting to report. No more since lunch time yesterday. I'm just trying to keep busy and not stress about it (yeah right! ) what will be will be. However, if AF doesn't rear her unwelcome head by tomorrow then I may well do a test. I will be 10 dpo. Do you think that will be too early?

Pezzina - yes too early. STAY AWAY FROM THE TESTS (as if I will be staying away myself).

Jools - you are very very welcome here.

Heeby - def good to hear about your signs though sorry you feel sick. I think most of the original July people are on here now...

C1ndy - potentially very exciting!!

Queenie - 2ww so difficult isn't it?

me me me me me - a me update!
8dpo today. Had ewcm last night - just a little. Good sign I think. Then dh jumped me last night so can't examine for cm today as will just be sperm - yuk! Woke up all bunged up today too (another good sign?) and temp highest yet for the month.
A, loving Fertility friend now I am temping - so much extra info. It gives me 48/100 on pregnancy signs though which isn't very high I don't think. Am off work today and things to do round the house but reckon that means I will spend a lot of time on here!

Ooooo Yellowflowers - all sounds good for you sweetie I think FF is great too. I know you're right about the testing - will try to resist

Hey pez - well, I don't feel pregnant despite all those possible signs. I think on balance am probably not and don't want to get excited. I am going to try not to test until at least Monday as that will be 11dpo - too early still I know but will I be able to resist then - hmmmm

Hey lovely ladies, how are we all doing this morning? Happy belated birthday to funtime and whitebeaches - I hope you enjoyed that cake!

Heeby - good luck at the docs this morning. And stay here - we totally need you as a mascot. Your words on baby bonding/preceeding worries were lovely. I can't think of much to add to it really. Although my lovely, funny ds gives me many a challenge ( he is VERY energetic and spirited) the joy he has brought dh and I is almost impossible to express. And yes, the moment I looked into his beautiful, earnest looking blue eyes was the moment I fell more deeply in love than I ever imagined possible.

Jools - I'm so glad to hear you are feeling positive and have a plan! I hope you enjoyed your nighg of drunkeness - god knows we all need a break from time to time and I'd say you deserved it more than most. Hope your head and tummy forgive you soon!

Pezz - am keeping fingrs crossed that was implantation bleeding. You never know.

Villagemum - welcome to full membership of the ttc brigade May we all stay sane.

Good luck to all those in the window of waiting.....

Also how's the symptom spotting elliegant?

Heeby would love you to stay...it's nice to have a positive reminder that all the hard work is worth it and you write such warm lovely things.

Also I think if I got pregnant I would want to hang around so you better set the precident!

Yellowflowers I'm excited for you!

Want to give everybody positive messages but have a deadline so better do work!

Your thoughts / advice needed: having completely 'dried up' down there, EWCM is back and more than before. I'm day 19 of what is usually about a 29 day cycle...

Think I've already Ov'd and that I'm about 2dpo but that's just a feeling. I don't know for sure...but now confused.

Could it be an early indication of success or does it mean I need to BD away? DH is away but could join him tonight (a 2 hr journey away). Should I / would you bother?!?!

pez and yellow STAY AWAY FROM THE TESTS!!! i really do think your signs are great tho and secretly am excited for you, i had a tiny brown/yellow dot around 8dpo and then nothing else, then had a cold, CM and lots of twinges ... coincidence? i think not!

Thanks for making me feel so warm and fuzzy guys, you are such a good support, i hope my sickness can produce lots of baby dust to throw over you all ..... here we go

*

((((hugs))))

Thanks for the warm welcome and good wishes guys - cd2 now; hurry up, hurry up...

pezzina, cindy, yellow, all those signs sound really promising!

Queenie you can have more than one lot of EWCM each cycle and although it usually happens before you OV its not always the case. However, if you are not sure you have OV'd then I would take it to mean you are still fertile and try to BD. Not easy if your DH is away but if you can make it happen then go for it.

Not good news from me, I'm feeling very crampy - sure AF is on her way. Not feeling too bad about it as I have been expecting it since yesterday. More worried about short LP. May start taking Vit B6 or Agnus Castus next month. Also, how much Folic acid is everyone taking a day? The pro natal vits I take has 400ug in - is that enough? I read somewhere it should be 800ug

Heeby pull a chair.. actually pull up a sofa and put your feet up as your part of this team and we need YOU.

I have been having period like pains this morning very mild but tiny twinges... but it could be anything too early.
I think its wishful thinking. I have 4 pg tests left, its so hard not to just take a test but will hold out until next week before testing again sigh

I am skimming posts as Boss is on my back today... have loads on. So if I miss any posts I am sorry...

Heeby did you still have fertile CM as I have now sticky stuff... so am now thinking I am not pg. Cervix is still high.

queenie - yes go and join dh def. Maybe just pretend it's romantic rather than for baby making, but turn up in a coat with nothing on underneath - I dare you!

(You'll kick yourself if you don't go and then period starts in 14 days from now thus showing today was ovulation)

Thanks Pezzina. May make the stupid drive later today but probably not. I've got to learn to relax more about ttc and driving round the country on a sperm hunt does not seem conducive to that!!!

I'm sorry to hear you feel like AF is on it's way. But don't give up all hope. Cramps are an early sign of PG too. You'll just have to wait and see (which I know is a nightmare!)

Don't know much abut treatment for a short LP but I think I read on MN somewhere that it's best to see a herbalist before self-medicating. They might just be herbs but herbs can be quite powerful and do things that might not necessarily be beneficial to YOU.

C1ndy: how many dpo are you?

yellow flowers - crossed posts. Laughing out loud. Maybe I should / will go...and you're right. It should be about romance not BDing...but nothing on under my coat might be a bit of a problem - he's staying with his sister and brother-in-law!!!!!

(I could try sexy underwear under my clothes though...boring, yes, but perhaps better in the circumstances )

Pezzina my doctor said 400 - but you could eat a lot of green vegetables as well!
