dh and I are having a last push at ttc. we are giving it either a year or another mc before we give up (haven't told gp ) so i have decided to reopen the anti-testing thread!

god i hate that obsessiveness. Have been every other cycle, bar the one i actually got pg on

You must not obsess. ever ever ever.

AND NOT TEST

i am feeling more positive this time - i am concentrating on eating well, etc, to optimise success next time. Every small thing, i guess

definately. have you read zita wests book re diets etc for ttc? tis v good.

tbh, i hate testing now. i have to test on PDD and after period has finished. costs me a fecking foortune!

no i haven't, i am going to stay away from things like that, and those conception pregnacare things, purely because i will become obsessed that i cannot conceive - i know i can, i just had an 'accident' this time, it is not sign of things to come

dykwim??

you should make use of offers! Boots tests are good - got (faint)bfp on them when docs was neg when i started mc

i'm just taking regular pregnacare, making sure i get 5 a day and protein, calcium, etc. Trying to get out every day for walk, etc. Have also had sex since mc and that was ok - big stepping stone in my head.

also why i dont want to join a ttc after mc thread - will make my worries worse, and often the women on therre have recurrent mc, and mine was 'just' a blighted ovum (must have been), so feel slighty fraudish.

DH says i should stay off ttc on mn as it makes me baaaaaaaaaaad.

lol, tbh i dont touch the regular ttc or ttc after mc threads anymore. its very easy for me to become bitter, and i dont want to get into a suffering competition iykwim.

know what you mean about sex being a big steppingstone, we cant have sex while im pg because of the rmc so it tails off at end of cycle.

oh, and it wasnt "just" a blighted ovum. you still need to grieve for the future that you have lost.

exactly - about the suffering. i go on the ttc#4 thread, no competition there, nice to chat, etc. I don't even know what cd im on, thats how im doing it this time!

thats good, must be v liberating!

it sort of is! Though i will check in a few days for any fertile-ness

lol i can never relax enough to lose track of days. tbh the ep haschanged everything. i cant leave peeing for as long as possible anymore. i keep an eye on any twinges etc.

still, one day im sure itll happen again for us. our family isnt complete yet iykwim

i do totally know what you mean - a woman knows IMO. I will feel done when i have dc4 and a dog.

I'm sure your ep has changed everything - it was a huge thing to go through.

lol we have the dog. who we need to get de-knackered asap. he is rather fond of my leg

yummy

think my cat is pregnant again, which is fine, she can have one more litter and then snippy for her too.

lol, benji particularly likes it when i wear my white fluffy slippers. it keeps popping out! ewwwww

yuck!!!!!

he is very cute though (on FB)

he is lovely. has a lot of character!

this thread should also include ovulation tests. I have not been lookign at ov tests online, honest guv.

I know they are no use to me!! i have tried before and they stress me and i know when im fertile! (v good cm and high cp)

oooh, thats another one. i have even at the height of my madness used OPK's as HPT's just in case

LOL. it can work though, there is a link on POAS.com

i dont need to waste £20 do i?

how mad are we????

no do not waste the money. buy some shoes with it instead!

i have turned into a loon over the last 3.5y poor dh has to bear a LOT

don;t make start cracking heads!

best of luck girls xxxxxx

thanks lulu x
