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 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Am update - slept really badly and then temp was mid table - neither particularly low or high, but starting to feel like I might start spotting later. Wail... I hate not knowing what is going on. I did wee on a first response this morning and it was negative - but am only 10dpo (according to FF)

Please could you do me a favour and have a look at a question I've posted on the conception bit? Rather than post twice, I put it there so that I had a the best chance of people having the same/similar experiences but nobody loves me . It's to do with my periods since having ds and the mc's.

Thanks lovely ladies and fingers still crossed for yellowflowers.

yellowflowers fingers crossed... it sounds promising. let us know if you have any other pg symptons?

Funtime will go over and see if I can see your post

oh no - just went to loo and period started - pink/red blood, not spotting. first time in long time a period with no spotting first - possibly because of acupuncture. Am really disappointed! It's started at either 11dpo or 9dpo depending on whether me or ff right about ovulation.

Not even going to speculate on implantation bleeding because if it was then the other things I've been having (weeing a lot, smelling perfume etc) wouldn't have started yet anyway.

Bloody mind games again!

Sorry to hear that yellowflowers.

Right, you and I are definitely getting a BFP next month!

I hope so funtime - I really thought this month might be it! And the funny feeling and needing to wee is still there so possible I have cystitis too. Gah!

Hello, can i join in? I was trying to read through the entire thread but was only 13 pages in after an hour or so ;) so have no idea what is going on. He he. Congratualtions you all of you who have conceived and good luck for all those TTC. I have only just come off the pill. Was on it at 15 and will be 34 in August. We are expecting it to take a long time but if it doesn't it will be a very pleasant surprise.

Aww yellow so sorry the witch got you this month! Drink lots of cranberry juice but not the juice drink (too much sugar). It's really good at relieving the symptoms of cystitis/UTI's.
Take care honey xx

Kittycat Welcome, this is a lovely place here. I am not sure how long it will take you but you will get good advice here. Firstly, you may like to try the Deanna Plan (DP), good reading on the following website : www.pregnancyloss.info/sperm_meets_egg_plan.htm

then you may like to go to the Fertility website to chart your cycles found on : www.fertilityfriend.com/

When you are ready update the list with your name on it and expected AF date.

I hope this helps.

Regards
Cindy

Yellow sorry to hear AF has arrived. It was sounding very promising!

I am waiting till Thursday... every twinge I get I am wondering if AF is going to show!!! Word of advice.... never test early!! take it from me its torture!

Welcome Kittycat - good luck with your ttc. If you have just come off the pill you might find it happens very quickly - there is a bounce that lasts for about 3 months post pill apparently. Worked for me with my ds - he was a one month wonder and honeymoon baby! Sadly his brother or sister is proving a little more challenging....

Yellow -sorry that the witch got you - it was sounding so promising! Interesting that acupuncture could have had the effect of reducing your cycle length.

Queenie - we have high hopes. No pressure

Thanks all for your encouragement re ttc again so quickly. Bleeding has drastically slowed today thank god although haven't done a pg test to check hormone levels. Have got a clinic appt at 3 so they should do that there. I haven't had any mad tearful moments in last couple of days so assuming they are dropping very slowly which is a bit of a PITA. Hey ho.

Off now to check out Funtimes question - hope everyone has a lovely day x

Welcome kitty, good luck with TTC and you'll find the ladies on this thread nice and friendly and not easily shocked (except me, I'm scandalised at the slightest thing ...and I'm not that nice before AF is due ).

Sorry, I'm in a funny mood 'cos I'm ordering a shed for my veg patch!

Sorry its not your month YellowFlowers You work so hard at all this, it simply must be your month soon

Oh, forgot to say welcome Kitty

You don't have to be mad to post here but it helps

Funtime - I just remembered I planted out baby leeks at some point late Summer - do you think there is any point going outside to investigate ? !! I have no idea when they should have been ready, but am guessing it was before now !!

Hi kitty and everyone else - kitty do add yourself to the list (find the most recent one and cut and paste it into your entry and add yourself).

The acupuncturist said last time the aim in order to get my periods as good as possible was to get my periods from spotting for 2 days with brown blood before full flow to starting red and with a flow so that seems to have happened. So fascinating. Have another appt on Thurs so will quiz them then

Very interesting about the spotting Yellowflowers - I had that last year - a brown spot or two one day, then nothing for up to 48 hours, then a day of brown spotting before the main event. This last AF seems to have reduced the amount of spotting.

It had previously made me wonder about my luteal phase - I used to go to 13DPO, but with spotting seen at 10DPO. This last AF, first spotting was seen as 11DPO, so maybe one day longer ...

Jools - you might be in luck, although I doubt that they'd be so baby-like now . Mine were ready October-ish and I'm still harvesting them as-and-when. Let me know if you find them!

oh yellow - am so sorry the witch got you... felt sure this must be your month. Like funtime says - def next month

Interesting what you said about AF - cos I never get spotting - just straight into the main thing - do you think that's a good thing then? Mine doesn't drag on wither - I get 2 heavy days, 1 medium then a light ish day then is all gone..

I just 'know' this month is not the one for me... We hardly BD'd at all and I have no syptoms at all. Not even one.

Welcome kitty - I find this thread excellent support - everyone is lovely

queenie how are the symptoms? Anything to report?

ust checking up on you all. Reading about AF coming still fills me with dread. I rememebr each month thinking how the hell do people get pg everytime i did the first wip of AF. It does happen though when you least expect it. I do feel for all of you as its the most out of control i have ever felt whilst ttc. You have absolutely no control over it and its so frustrating. I am over on the antenatal grapefruit thread but not on lots as only 7 weeks so don't want to jinx me and bubs. However someone posted something today saying after 6 weeks risk of m/c goes down to 7 % which is good news.No sickness yet but have a feeling it may come from anytime onwards as getting ocasional feelings of it. Won't complain though as this is what i signed up for!! Fingers crossed and babydust to you all.

Spats I am on the October due thread, but goush have not committed to fully posting there as I don't want to jinx it. Have today and tomorrow to go before I know AF has come and gone!! I am 4 weeks today according to FF Pg webpage.

Spat where is the location of the grapefruit thread...

Spats its okay have found it, just reading all your posts.. but will not post until I am sure the BFP sticks.

Hi all - just been reading back on your posts.

Firstly, welcome kittycat - this is a great thread and will be great to have you on board! Let's hope, for you, that you get lucky on your post-pill bounce. I'm almost starting to think about going back on the pill for a couple of months so I can benefit from a bounce!

yellow - I'm so, so sorry to hear AF got you. Like you and the others I had a really good feeling for you this month. Hugs to you. How are you feeling today?

cindy - am sure you'll make it to Thursday. Your strong BFPs are such encouraging signs.

wasabi - thanks for the high hopes!! Not sure how I feel about it this month - as ever, could go either way (obviously!). We did a load of BDing this month: CD 7, 10, 11, 13, 15, 17 (twice), 19, 20 but annoyingly not after that. I got my LH surge on CD 19 so hopefully caught it? I'm now on either 7 or 8dpo. I've had all the things that could be seen as symptoms over the past few days - sore, full boobs, cramping, slight feeling of nausea (which I've not had before), headache, heartburn etc. But I now from bitter experience that these can just as easily be explained by an impending visit from the witch...so I'm trying not to get too excited and trying not to set myself up for a fall (though as I inevitably will do, thank god you are all there to catch me!!).

How is everyone today?
xx
