TTC any which way DP CM BT OPK Grapefruit drinking ....

[C1NDY]

Hi everyone I have started a new thread... hope you like the new home, this is where it will all happen. (Cindy opens a bottle of champagne) Here's a drink to all and to our month ofthe BFP... .... baby dust all around ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

c1ndy this is fab news - yay!!!! am SO pleased for you. I really really cheers me up when someone on here gets a BFP xxx

Yellowflowers for breakfast you get Gronola which you can have with yogurt or milk. You get one snack a day i.e. bar of chocolate, crisps etc... which they supply to you. They give you a soup for lunch, freshly made, you just need to heat it up... I am having today Spicy tomoto with beef. For dinner I am having a hotpot. You need to add yourself vegetables or salad and two pieces of fruit a day.

Check their website on www.dietchef.co.uk/

As I am unofficially pg I will ensure I get loads of veg and salad rather than worry about veggies that have high calorie content.

Its easy... and the food is delicious!! each day you consume 1,200 calories but I am upping that considerably so that my bean does not go without. But hopefully I can lose weight gradually if I stay pg...

Iggy thank you, but I am waiting till Thursday to ensure that the bean plants itself well!! Lets hope everything goes well.

I have everything crossed for you c1ndy

Iggy thank you

question for wannabe or anyone who can answer:

(TMI alert)

You said one of your early symptoms was uti like symptoms. I am 8dpo today if you believe FF and 10dpo if you believe me, and today for about 20 secs I had burnign sensation down there (not had sex for 2 days so not result of rubbing or anything) and then not pain but felt different to wee and now feel like I need a wee even when I've just gone. Not had cystitis for about 10 years and think it would be odd to have it now - does this sound like what you had? Obv clutching at straws again as justhad temp dip so af probs on way.

Yellowflowers - I remember getting mild thrush in the 2WW - dead common because of hormonal changes apparently...

Just checking in quickly as have travelled up to Birmingham this AM for a workshop that starts in a minute. Staying over in a nice hotel and will treat myself to a swim and a sauna

Strange things happening with my cycle - tmi moment coming up

I've continued to have minimal brown spotting since my heavy AF left the building after only 48 hours. CD8 or 9 today and I think what I'm seeing is brown-tinged EWCM Am beginning to wonder if I will OV earlier than my normal CD16 - gaaaahhh - maybe I should get the train home tonight instead of staying over !!

Back later when I have more time. Have a good day everyone

oh jools, that is a pain. Worth popping into boots and buying opk to wee on?

Hello, I'm here. Been rather hectic today. DS only nodded off at 2ish but it still napping happily in his room leaving me plenty of catching up with MN time!

Not much to report today other than flipping nightmare this morning with another flood of blood and god only knows what else while I was having breakfast with ds and then taking delivery of a hie car. Aaaarrrgrghhhhh. I went through 2 pads in about half an hour and was terrified I was going to bleed all over this hire car. Bloody nightmare. Literally. Seems to have calmed down again now thank god. That has to be it noe surely????

Jools - You need to get some OPK's hon. Your cycle sounds a bit out of sorts still and OPK's were the only way I got a handle on mine after we failed ttc for several months. I was oving later than I thought and I am convinced a lot of other people have this without realising. Enjoy your fancy pants hotel!!

Yellow - don't want to get your hopes up but in my BFP month I felt a slight soreness in my ladybits - perhaps similar to that after having had a good seeing to after a bit of a break!

Sorry - I am TMI woman today.

So ladies, what's the verdict on ttc the month after mc? I know I said I was going to wait one cycle but dh and I are both having second thoughts.

ooh yellow - sounding promising for you honey. How long til testing time??? All my fingers crossed that this is your month. x

I can't remember if I'm 6 or 7 dpo but I've had heartburn, boobs that feel very big / full, have headache and am in a very emotional mood today. Last two things, of course, can clearly be explained by the shit day I'm having at work today...but I can't help hoping that maybe they're all symptoms???? Guess I should wait another week though...oh, I CAN'T STAND IT!!!

wasabi sorry to hear about the heavy blood loss. Hopefully you're through the worst of it now? In terms of ttc after MC I would just go for it as soon as you feel ready. This was the advice of my friend's gyney who she saw after having loads of MCs. Apparently you're more fertile immediately following a MC. Many doctor's do advise waiting a month or two but I think that's more about a) making it easier to date the new PG; and b) encouraging you to be in an emotionally strong(er) place.

I reckon i can legitimately test on Fri if no af by then... but I am not really hopeful - I actually feel very unpregnant!

Hi Wasabi

I've never used OPK's because I always get very convenient ovulation pains over 2 days - and I'm sure that I conceived before by BD'ing within around 4 hours of first feeling ov pains

I always get 3 - 5 days of EWCM, so if this is an early run-up to ov, I should hopefully catch it. Am getting ridiculously excited at the thought of possibly ovulating earlier and starting the 2WW earlier - I need to get a life !!

Fingers crossed for you YellowFlowers

yellow - isn't feeling very unpregnant a sign!?! xx

Wasabi - on the TTC after MC front - I'd just go for it - take advantage of the apparently increased fertility post MC

Have your hormone levels dropped yet ? All I'd suggest is making sure that PG tests are showing a BFN with FMU before you start TTC, otherwise you could end up in a situation where you are cautiously celebrating a "new" BFP that is just old hormones.

I was simply told they like you to have one AF for dating purposes. You do run the risk of getting dates wrong and having loads of worry if the new beanie is not the expected size at an early scan and you have to go back in a week.

My GP said - well dating is what dating scans are for !! You could deviously argue that, if you have no idea of your dates, the GP might be more inclined to send you for an early scan.

Wasabi if you want to try straight away go for it.

There are a lot of stories out there with women who have conceived after a MC and their babies have been fine - so go for it.

This month I used preseed, as Villagemum recommended it - perhaps all you ladies should give it a try its a wonderful product... I honestly believe it helped me to conceive (well we will know on Thursday for definate) seeing as I will be hitting the big 40 in March!!

Oooh C1ndy that's so exciting!!

Wasabi If you feel ready then thats when you should try. Don't stick to what people say to make their lives easier, if there is no health risk for you or your bean then why not go for it?

Jools you don't need to get a life. My life is totally wrapped up in all the TTC and PG stuff. It doesn't change when you get your BFP as you know! I've been over to the antenatal thread to tell them all my news! Too scared to go over and talk regularly though until 12weeks so will just watch

Plus this year (so far) is turing out to be a fantastic one! We had a letter through from the luxury hotel where we got married inviting us for a complementary overnight stay with use of the spa & leisure facilities included because our 1st anniversary is coming up! How fantastic is that? Me being a little sceptical rang up and she hs booked us in on the saturday before (7th March, anniversary on the 9th). I'm so pleased can hardly stop smiling. May my good luck continue and some of it rub off onto all you lovely ladies!!

Yellow at about 7dpo on my pg month I got a couple of sharp pains in my lady regions, I remember asking anyone if they had had anything similar...so could be a sign

Wasabi if you & dh are ready then go for it

haha queenie - yes I am trying to persuademyself thatnot feeling pregnant is a sign!

We went to our local pub tonight - I had 2 pints of shandy which I suppose is a lot volume wise even if not alcohol wise but went to the loo 5 times in three hours!! Though maybe because I was thinking about it.

Also on three separate occasions I smelled women's perfume in shops today and thought that it was very strong - maybe it was strong but not something I usually notice.

But temps not particularly high and some twinges that suggest spotting will start soon.

hmmmm.
