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

Seem to have persuaded dh of the Deanna plan - we did it sat and sun (cd 7 & 8) so one more than necessary, and he has promised to come home from work on Tues before going out to a pre arranged thing so we can fit in a quick one.

smileycat - I agree about migraines. I had one one month a while ago and was convinced it was sperm meeting egg and big release of hormones, as very rarely get migraine. Had lots of other symptoms that month and then not pregnant but I think migraine def a sign body trying to do something.

I feel very happy and joyful about ttc this month and that it'll be my month, I may be mad, but def feel positive.

Hey everyone,

I feel blue today, please cheer me up!
DH came home yesterday but i was too late getting up to test so i tested this morning and it said "peak" which is bloody marvelous (pickled swimmers remember?!). We have BD'd obviously (missing each other and all that ) but feels like we are definately out this month. And to top it off DH said "doubt we'll catch this month" and has now gone out tonight leaving me home alone AGAIN!!!!!!!!!
Am i being selfish or stupid? I don't understand. He only came home yesterday and granted his mate is going through a rough patch (he didn't go on the stagg do) but God!
So looks like I'll get to try the Deanna plan next month. Anyone joining me?

Sorry for the downer ladies but i've waited 19 days to OV and what a waste. Really hoping someone is online to answer me

Hi wanabe - I'm here as working this evening and got mumsnet open too to check every few mins! Sounds rubbish - poor you, but if you did it last night and today is peak then surely you've got a good chance?

Hey Yellow im just in one of those moods i think. I'm in the "I hate men" mood! lol
Thanks for answering me. I guess you're right, although not sure how good his swimmers will be. Just have to wait and see i suppose.
Glad you're more positive this month though, always nice to see, keeps me going! Hope you're right and this is your month. We need some more BFP's on this thread. Maybe it's catching!

But I'm probably just setting myself up for more of a fall if bfn! and also this morning I on;y had legs in air for 10 mins then had to go out so had to have shower etc so probs washed them all away! Tried not to but obviously had to wash self properly. (tmi?)
I know how you feel as bad mood all last week. Will you have chance tomorrow or day after to bd?
xx

As I am OV-ing today I've amended my AF due date.
Yes Yellow we shall be making the most of it!

Smileycat fingers crossed for you ... I had headaches with my first one, therefore it could be a sign.. you haven't long to go before you can test.

Well I used my last pg test yesterday evening as I was bored... and it was negative... what a waste!! but I couldn't stop myself. Feeling that AF will be on its way this morning have the AF usual signs. long deep sighWannabeMum I will be doing the Deanne plan again this month and also the temp charting - do we have an abbreviation for that?

Dustytv goush... sounds that you may be. Admire your patience, I would be testing by now! good luck!!

Yellow how are you? are you in the midst of trying again??

Hi Ladies, do you think it is a good idea to see who will be doing the Deanna plan this month. Statistically 40% of us should get a bfp for every 10 trying.

So please update the below and place DP to state you are going/or are doing the plan. Let's see if we can all get a bfp using this plan.

Morning so sorry to hear that the witch arrive for you C1ndy big glass of wine tonight heeby how are you feeling is she on her way or are you still feeling positive. Wanabe I hope you are feeling better today you never know it only takes one to make it even if the others are a little pickled lol. Well I couldn't help it & tested this morn bfn of course as my temps fell a little on Sunday but were quite high again this morn so was feeling really positive & couldn't help myself anyway I'm now going to be good & wait till Fri/Sat to retest that way I'll be days over my usual 25 & on track for my sometimes 28. babydust to all ~~~~~~~~~

Hi all,

Sorry to hear about your dh wanabe, but like you say you never know, i worry that i'm in danger of sounding like a mad woman sometimes when i'm saying to my dh 'we have to tonight!!!' i think they want it to be as natural as possible and less of the 'routine' stuff i guess, but of course you have know where you are eh!! good luck honey, you never know xxx

smiley silly you, but don't read anything in to the bfn, it is early and like i always say 'it aint over till the AF lady sings!'

c1ndy sorry to hear about Af, what a baggage! will you be doing the deana plan this month, i have been following it this month so lets hope i can be a advocate of it!

as for me ... i normally have spotting on cd25 (yesterday) and full on today, and guess what i've had ....

none of it so far, so allowing myself to feel mildy (very) excited, dare i say it!

Heeby that sounds very promising!!

Well, I'm pretty down today as I should be ovulating by now (cd17) but nothing! I guess the mc I had has thrown everything out of whack... very frustrating as we're still holding off ttc until the next cycle, and now it's going to be delayed. Cindy, I'll definitely be doing the Deana plan when the next cycle arrives - if it ever does... Will update my AF date when (if!) I finally ov!

Wanabe, you never know - once before ov might just do the trick!

smiley - good luck!

Hello all,

Heeby all sounding very good so far sweetie - my fingers are crossed for you. Tomorrow will be the big day!

C1ndy sorry to hear AF arrived but glad you're still positive. I'm trying the Deanna Plan this month - have updated the list to show. I'm on CD11 so have started using the OPK sticks.

Just been adding my temps to FF & read up on a few of their articals on temping & FF friend has done a study on implantation dips & says that from the study if you have a single days dip around DPO 7/8/9 you could be on your way to having a BFP although some of the BFN charts also show this dip, more of the BFP's show it. I had a dip on Sunday DPO9 & a rise today so crossing my fingers I'm one of their positive ones...the next few days will tell
heeby I'm soooooo excited for you roll on tomorrow morning, will you be able to hold out???

Hi All,

Had totally deluded myself last week that our minimum BD efforts last month (due to a succession of vistors staying for over a fortnight, which was a bit inhibiting!) had succeeded anyway as had sore boobs from wednesday onwards something I never usually suffer from, then AF appeared on saturday but very very slowly so still thought well maybe but this morning is here with a vengence and have got really bad stomach cramps (all too usual since my very first one as a teenager) so have rung in sick and curled back under the duvet! Felt so miserable on saturday as was feeling very convinced that we had finally managed it, but yet again not to be Definitely need to get our act together better this next month and do a bit lot more BD

Have updated list below:

Heeby - got fingers tightly crossed for you as sounding positive

Cindy - thanks for your +vity, helps to know others are in the same place!

Pezzina goush, Your in the full flow of it all rite now! I wish I was too, now I have got to wait till next week wednesday... but feeling really positive!!

JClaire sorry to hear your news. I know what went wrong this month... did not bd at the right time as DH had a flipin cold. But I am really enjoying this, as I know that at the end of the day my day will come! :0)

Hi everyone,

Well AF arrived yesterday. Feel strangely ok - it was only the first month trying and have just spent a silly amount of money on a new work wardrobe, so at least I'll get a bit more wear out of it! I'm starting back at work tomorrow after 11 months of lovely maternity leave

Anyway, have decided to be more pro-active this month so will be following the Deanna plan and have just ordered some pre-seed - and of course will crack open the grapefruit juice!

Good luck heeby for tomorrow

Thanks for all the good luck wishes guys, i am a fully fledged knicker checker today that's for sure! feeling a bit queasy today and bloated, mind you after a bad diet yesterday that's not surprising! I will try and hold out to tomorrow as thought FMU would give a better result but might have to do it this afternoon when dh gets in, he is buying test so depends on which one he gets!

smiley so that sounds positive eh? i am going to do temps next month if af comes. It might give me some more insight if nothing else.

village that must be so frustrating, i didn't know if i OV'd after MC as had a cyst develop but it all cleared up ok in the end, my cycle changed for good it seems tho, it went from 32 days to 26 days and has stayed that way for 6 months. (except 2 months ago when the cyst burst and i had in 3 days late)

jclaire so sorry about AF, at least you can spend the day feeling sorry for yourself and eating bad food, it always helps! and like you say there is this month to put the effort in more!

I hope i can be proof to everyone that the extra effort is worth it!

Lots of love to you all xxxx

Hi all C1ndy, Jclaire, sorry about AF, C1ndy you have great great attitude just what we all need.

Heeby, keeping everything crossed for you

Goog luck smiley

Sorry to hear you feeling down today Villagemum, try and stay positive I too will be trying Deanna plan so feel quite excited about getting going with it.
