Bubble Think you can have a night off tonight!

Angel hope the wicked witch stays away tomorrow, will you test ?

Idream fab newsyour dream has come true!

Calling all Symptom spotters does anyone else think that taking folic acid can make them feel nauseous ? I've had a fair amount of nausea since we started ttc which coincides with when I started on the folic acid. I've had quite strange aches in my right pelvic area today, not really painful, but very aware of it. It's almost like a pulling sensation so of course I'm imagining implantation pains as I'm now 8DPO.

lovelylullaby · 19/01/2009 19:38

Hmm I wouldn't have thought folic acid would make you feel nauseous.

Catz · 19/01/2009 19:54

So you lucky ones with the BFPs (if you're still checking) - what symptoms did you have and when did they start?

Not that we'd use them for symptom spotting...

WaitingforaSproglettoFall · 19/01/2009 20:26

Hi people, had flu for the last week so haven't really been on here much. Congrats to those who've been lucky with the BFP's!!

Only managed to BD on CD11, 14 and 15 as felt like death, had a fair amount of EWCM on CD14 so feeling fairly positive.

Now on CD23 and am symptom spotting like mad, I'm not due until Sunday so trying to be patient!!

What symptoms are the rest of you on the 2ww experiencing?

idreamofbeanie · 19/01/2009 20:39

Hi all, thanks for all the congratulations. It still doesn't feel real but it's slowly sinking in that I might actually be pregnant . I didn't have any symptoms really - a bit of a strange crampy tingly feeling, different to usual AF cramps, but nothing I would have noticed if I wasn't symptom spotting. In fact I just felt very healthy, full of energy and positive this month - I only tested because it was my birthday and DP is working away this week and I didn't think I would hold out until next Saturday. I'm still not convinced AF won't show up this week - it all feels so precarious this early - but if its going to happen it will happen IYKWIM so I might as well relax and enjoy knowing DP and I can make a baby!

Good luck to everyone testing this week - it seems we have landed on a lucky thread!

theboob · 19/01/2009 20:40

no not got a digi test yet
i wont be making a doc apt for a few weeks yet as the wait to hear from the midwife drags lol ,i thought i had symtoms last week but all weekend i have felt normal and i still do now,no nausea,no sore boobs,just feel srange in my tummy but i think thats because i know there is something there
i know there will be more BFP this month.....i can feel it in my bones lol

AngelFairy · 19/01/2009 21:09

Bubble... I reckon number 12 wouldve done it. Fingers crossed for you hun x

Fifi... I'm spotting atm so prob won't test, unless AF doesn't arrive. How about you?

I've been feeling very strange this month, but not sure if it's because I know I could possobly be pg.
I first noticed tingly breasts and nipples, then nausea and then right side cramping. I have since been having different to usual cramps with spotting since Fri, but AF due tomorrow.
Who knows...?!

HTH x

DistortedAngel · 19/01/2009 21:12

Hello all, would love to join your thread. TTC#3 - no idea about cycle as have just had coil removed today and haven't had a period for years. Unlikely for October I know but what the hell...

FifiOK · 19/01/2009 21:34

Angel I've got another 9 nine days to go before testing.

distorted welcome to the thread, you never know they say you can be really fertile after having a coil out. I conceived quickly after having a coil out in June. It ended up as a MC but nothing to do with the coil (blighted ovum)

lovely maybe you're right about the folic acid. Probably feel a bit nauseous with the folic because I always end up washing it down with a coldish cup of tea on an empty stomach ! If you want to update the list, add what number you are trying to conceive TTC#, how many cycles you have been trying for, and then what cycle day you are on.

gettingstarted · 19/01/2009 21:42

Congratulations Idream that is so exciting!

Thank you for all the hugs and also for the good ideas devilsadvocate I will make a list in advance for next month. DP and I did go out on Sunday and had Dark choc and Fried pineapple crepes - AMAZING and ideal period food!

Starting to feel that hormonal craziness is passing and hopefully cramps are on the way out. Watching that Little Chef thing at the moment - strangely fascinating! Good luck the rest of you - I have everything crossed for you x

1LittlePrincess · 19/01/2009 23:13

Hi all hope you are all well!

This is such a busy thread, I have been away busy Bd'ing so it amy take a while for me to catch up on all thats been happening

DP went away this evening and will be away for 5 days so am crossing my fingers, toes and legs that we have managed to Bd enough and at the right times. Only slight EWCM today and usually OV 16-18 (I think) so hopefully there will be enough lil swimmers to last!

HUGE HUGE HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to those who have had their BFP's YaY! Keep that lucky baby dust scattering around the thread

When I was in Super Drug today I saw some Vits that are aimed at TTC. They were made by pregnacare who do the pregnancy ones...Has anyone tried these, and do they differ that much to a general Vit complex containing B6 and Folic Acid?

Hugs to All x

idreamofbeanie · 19/01/2009 23:43

Hi Princess,

I think TTC/pregnancy vitamins contain more folate, calcium and iron which are needed for pregnancy and don't contain vitamin A which is bad for the developing baby.

Good luck for this month - hope all that BDing works!

littlemiss26 · 20/01/2009 09:31

hey this is the first time i've had a chance to get on, and what a busy few days its been

congratulations to all the BFPs!!!! i have to admit i feel really jealous and like mensa have given up on my body sorting itself out. I did a test and it was very definately BFN but i'm still not convinced i've ovulated so pretty pointless really

Its so exciting for you boob and beanie! enjoy it!!

girlwithacurl · 20/01/2009 09:52

Morning. Temp rose today, managed every night since Tuesday so hoping that will be enough. I think I have bruised my cervix though do you think that is possible!
I take the pregnacare conception ones... not sure if they do anything, have slightly different recipie to the prenancy ones and makes me feel I am doing something, so much of this feels like old fashioned luck that anything I can control I want to do.
Also saw that Little Chef thing last night... very odd!

Hobnobfanatic · 20/01/2009 10:00

Girlwithacurl, I bruised my cervix when I first started seeing DP - way too much sex! I think you're more prone to it when fertile in your cycle, too as the cervix softens, doesn't it? Might be a good sign!

Congratulations, idream! So thrilled for you! There's so much good news on this thread - I hope it's infectious!

girlwithacurl · 20/01/2009 10:17

thanks hobnob glad its a good sign. feel a bit sore but its all in a good cause!

Back to the symptom spotting 8dpo and today have a really dry mouth (although had 2 cups of tea and a litre of water already!) Still have sore boobs and AF type cramps and heartburn. Really hoping AF dosn't turn up early - had a few stabbing pains in my lower stomach to.

Anyone tetsed today? I had to POAS so used my last opk dont know why as it didn't tell me anything.. ha ha oh this TTC drives you mad!

pinkie08 · 20/01/2009 14:33

Hi all

Big congrats to all those with their BFPs. I am at cd20 and had one dominant follicle on cd11 on the scan, tried really hard cd11,12,13,14 and 16 so feel like we have given it as good a go as possible.

Trying not to get overly hopeful as the disappointment is too great, do have backache but think have really hurt it lifting dd and also getting ovary pains

I think the pregnacare conception has something that premotes CM which is why i swopped over as the clomid can dry it up.

theboob · 20/01/2009 15:51

hello ladies
just wanted to pop on and see how you all are,i will post longer later when i have time xxxx

girlwithacurl · 20/01/2009 16:08

Hi, advice needed. My temp rose today, which means I prop ov'd yesterday, but i still have EWCM... do you think we should still BD tonight? as previously stated I am very sore so would prefer not to, but don't want all our hard work to be in vain!

ha ha at cazza POAS opk! it is addictive isn't it! I think I could do a doctorate in it, am definitly at "expert" level!

Cazza28 · 20/01/2009 17:10

girlwithacurl I would bd tonight as well, they say you are still fertile the day after ovulation (as the egg lives for up to 24 hours) if you can put up with pain that is!

Just order 10miu test from e-bay - dont think the one I have is going to last much longer!

MensaReject · 20/01/2009 19:12

Well my period has arrived. Glad i didn't waste money on a test! This is the most 'normal' cycle i've had (thanks Clomid!) although i'm really not looking forward to this next cycle (lap and dye tests & bloods etc)
I'm disappointed and also a little worried as i can't find my Clomid tablets i've just moved house so they must be in a box somewhere.... Good luck to everyone else.

aww mensa im sorry that cow got u i hope that you get some answers this cycle and your bfp

OP posts:
pinkie08 · 20/01/2009 19:44

Hi mensa sorry the witch got you. The gp will give you more if you tell them you lost them so dont worry if you lost them.

I have just finished my 5th cycle at 50mgs and feel a little more positive as had a scan on cd11 and had a dominant follicle that she said would ov within the next day. She wouldnt obviously commit to whether there was viable egg in there so not getting excited but do know i tried my hardest.

We are moving on to stronger options if this hasnt worked its just such a shame as it has worked for so many others.
