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

Snowflake - (like your new name by the way)...I think you read quite accurately into what he said to me. He just wants a bit of a laugh and to not let this consume us too much.

But, as smiley says, it's not easy. Smiley, I couldn't have put it better. So much so that I might show him your post - i.e. it's hard, difficult and there are lots of people who feel like this.

I think men just see things differently to us. In a way I like it as I reckon 2 people obsessing together might be worse, sometimes when one person is saying 'chill out' it makes it better. But sometimes (and I have certainly experienced this) it leads them to say things that we find hurtful and they don't even really mean. It's their way of saying 'it's painful for us too but we don't know how to express it as we're severely emotionally retarded - we can't help it - it's in our genes'.

Well put Becky

Had a really great night out last night with the girls, it was really nice not to think about ttcing & have a few drinks (few too many)eat loads & boogie the night away, paying for it now though as I didn't get in till 230 & was a little bit drunker than I wanted to be. Only another 2 parties to go to this wk my poor body will def need a rest next wk, but with a marathon BDing wk planned to start on Sunday I'm going to need the Xmas break to sleep

The test I have taken was by Fertell you can buy it at Boots. The difference between an ovarian reserve test and an ovulation test is that an ovulation test measures a hormone called Luteinising Hormone (LH) which increases when the egg has matured and causes it to be released. This is called ovulation. An ovulation test only shows you the time in your menstrual cycle when you are most likely to conceive, it will not tell you about your fertility or the quality of the egg you produce.

The Fertell female ovarian reserve test detects a different hormone called Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH). Women are born with their quota of eggs. As a woman ages so do her eggs and the quality of those eggs decline. The ovarian reserve test detects when the FSH is at a level that indicates that the egg quality has decreased and the chances of the egg being fertilised are reduced. Fertell is a fertility test for ovarian reserve and gives a measure of underlying fertility through assessing the egg quality.

It has made me feel a little more relaxed that my FSH is fine and therefore my ovarian reserve is at the normal level. They have a male fertility test also, so I may persuade DH to take one, even though he is five years younger than me! if we have had no luck this month!!

Becky I missed the war in the womb, I tried to find it but there was nothing, then I realised that I read your post on Friday and it must have been Thursday night doh was it good? Any good pointers or tip bits???

BoosieBoo gulp, I cannot believe how many times you bd last month. I am going to buy some preseed. My bd will start on Thursday! Here comes another session.

Villagemum how is the DP going??

Snowflake Never ever thought we could buy pre-seed on Amazon? am going to give it a go in a little while, whilst boss is not looking.

Ilovebeingamummy oh I am so sorry for your loss (big hugs) I feel your pain. I really don?t think it?s the breastfeeding which would cause this, no one really knows what causes MC. I think its natures way of saying that the time was not right for the bean to develop. Be strong and try and stay positive, we are all here to support you.

Pinkie I know how you feel. This is my second cycle now of ttc? and you know something I am starting to think that Thursday will be bd.. then miss a day and then Saturday bd ? and then miss a day?until OPK turns pink and then bd for three days! phew this is my life now?. ?. I am getting a little fed-up of it, why can?t it be easier!!! I want to scream sometimes.

Smileycat I echo your same thoughts on ttc? if DH only knew what we go through.

Have you all noticed... I am catching up with posts!!!

We must all start a new thread ...

I have started a new one on with the new name .... TTC any which way DP CM BT OPK Grapefruit drinking ....

Hope this is a okay name... see you all there!! I am not sure how to do the links.

Cindy laughs... I thought the counter said 898... but it must have been another link I was look at! shall we start a new thread any way?

Hopefully this link will work
