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

[C1NDY]

Hi All,

Hope you like our new home!

Pinky Men!! its their pride that hurts and of course the embarrassment of having to place something in a cup... I am sure that is all it is. He will come around, I am sure. Well my fingers and toes are crossed for you.

I am off to the doctors next week he is going to do a few tests for me before I TTC again which I told him I am starting in July.

Okay have to go the big bad boss has just come in and I have loads to do!!

Any of you lovely ladies testing at all?? surely we should have some BFPs soon.

Hello all!

Still waiting for AF - so not much to report, although not really expecting it until the weekend at the soonest.

funtime is good to hear from you xx

pinky how long have you been ttc? Just wondering cos I wondered how long people usually wait before seeing a doc about it, am thinking if I have no luck this year I guess I might go?

C1ndy good news about going to docs.

Iggy I would lie and see the doctor earlier, that is what my friend did... but she was an oldie like me and did not want to wait they had been trying for 6 months without any luck. She now has a baby girl, but she did have to have IVF as there was something wrong, not saying there is anything wrong with you but she went to the doctors earlier and lied so as not to waste time....

Iggy I have been trying for about 9 months, when I saw the doc it was a couple of months ago so after around 7 months. As I had had my MC a year before then he assumed (I did not correct him) that I had tried for 12 months. I beleive that they normally say 6 months if over 35 and 12 months if younger.But as Jools says if in doubt lie!!!

Yellow BD boring, that is very funny, it definately seems more of a chore when you know you must do it at a certain time each month.

I saw that too Jools

Thanks all - will see how I go.. as MC has only just happened I guess I can't go for a bit. Will just have to see if anything happens soon.

oh no poor Ray.

My consultant last week said they wouldn't usually have seen me until I had been trying for 2 years. But he agreed to have me as a patient anyway.

oh dear - another night out last night and got drunk again! This detow/diet not going well. But after a year of trying not to drink much etc and still not getting pregnant I am now having a couple of months of living normally.

Oh no poor poor Ray.

I know what you mean Yellow it is such a pain in that you feel guilty for having a few drinks when it seems to make no difference if you live like a saint to conception chances. The way I look at it is if I have had a couple of drinks, is that you hear of alcoholics and drug addicts getting pregnant, so for someone who is on the whole healthy then a few drinks now and then should not make a difference.

detox, not detow!

Thanks pinkie - yes, you are right. And I am enjoying life more not worrying about it.

Yellow - relaxing is good Sods law says you will fall PG after a night of drunken debauchery, but it really doesn't matter

Until the egg implants, it is not feeding off the mother, so you can't do it any harm.

Life is too short to put months on hold living like a saint

agree life is too short - after having jan completely off booze i completely went the other way in Feb - which was teh month I got PG... so the alcohol didn't seem to have made too much difference...

Hello everybody, I've been out of reach and a little down on my luck lately with (here begins the list): my car breaking down in the middle of nowhere (with my kids and husband in two totally different far flung places); my five year old son being diagnosed with early stages of pneumonia FREAK OUT; a smallish infestation of ants in my pants, er I mean, in my house and of course now after all the loving and tending of DS I have come down with monster cold-sore-throat virus which, I think, has covered up impending AF signs. Sigh. It's CD 25 and I have noticed a little brown tinged mucus when I wipe (sorry TMI). So AF is on her way early, I guess. This will be my second period after mc. Here's thinking about you all: good news and not so good news.

I?m back! Been offline for ages as went away for our lovely holidayette last week and came back to a load of work. This is my first morning of sitting down and having a proper MN catch up!

Funtime great news that you have seen your little bean bouncing off your uterine walls! When you?ve been through as much as you have it must be nigh on bloody impossible to relax but hopefully now you can start to.

Yellow getting wasted once in a while I think is a very good idea! I haven?t given up alcohol while ttc because I don?t want to put my life on hold. I have a glass of wine most nights. I am going out with the girls on Friday night and am intending to have more than just the one! It would be sensible not to drink post ov ?just in case? but I tend to think that if it is going to be it is going to be. When I was pg with DS I went through a drunken Christmas before finding out I was pg. All was well. With my mc I was far more restrained and look what happened.
I genuinely don?t think it makes any difference to early pg outcomes.

C1ndy Glad you AF finally arrived ? and its nor often I type that! It must be a relief. I hope you docs appt goes well.

Iggy Has yours arrived yet?

P1nky Sorry to hear you have had some grief with your DH. They are funny creatures. I have had the ?obsessive? comment too although that was before my mc. DH is way more up for it now as I think he was as devastated as I was when we lost it. I hope you can find a way to persuade him that he needs to be properly on board.

Jardins god you must have been so worried about your DS? How is he now? I hope all is well there.

Hi to Jools, Kitty, Lovelymonster and Whatsfortea and anyone I haven?t mentioned.

Well I am CD18 today so have it all to play for! Lol. I am convinced this month that we got plenty of action in at the right time so am happy about that but the downside is that I am now hopeful which means I will be crushed if, once again, it isn?t our month. Last month I was 99% sure we?d missed it because it was my first month of temping and it seems my OPK?s were giving me slightly misleading info. Hope is great but I can?t face the BFN at the end of it all. Oh well.

Started a new exercise regime this month as I am turning into a complete lard arse and guess what? I ov?d a good 2 days earlier than usual. Connected do we think? I wasn?t sure but it seems plausible. I am hoping that early ovulation is a good omen. My cycles were short when we conceived DS and when I got my BFP that we later lost I got a positive OPK on CD15. This time I got it on CD13.

I am obsessing.

Have a good day all xx

Hi Wasabi great to have you back, glad that you had a good time. Great that you are feeling very positive this month, I have everything crossed, we need a few more BFP's round here, it seems to have been a while now.

Hello to everyone else!

I am CD 21 todaY, so in the quietly optimistic phase of the two week wait.....before the obsessing starts next week as AF date approaches!!!!

Going to have my Progesterone checked tomorrow AM so finger crossed that the Doc was right and that I was tested too early last time. I am pretty sure I OV'ed this month all the signs were there + OPK EWCM and rise in temp.... what more could I want lol

Hi everyone,

Well my AF arrived and stopped but I have been spotting for over two days now, it must be everything sorting itself out down there - hopefully.

I saw the doc yesterday lovely chap, his going to do the hormone test for me and also to check if I protected against Chicken Pox -as last time I was pg I got worried when the nursery my DD goes to had an outbreak. He is doing other test also... and he was really sweet saying that next time he is sure it will stick and that it would be very rare if it happened again. I need to get my weight down which I am doing - so I guess I will be ready for my mission in July to ttc again.

Wasabi I have everything crossed for you. I really hope you have hit the target this month

Pinky good luck with the test

Jardins WOW how unfortunate week you had, it should get better.

Oh I'm so glad your doc was nice C1ndy. It all seems to be highly variable.

Pinky I am CD19. Shall we hold hands in a slightly scared sort of way????

Well I feel absolutely awful today. Actually, that isn't true I am fine in myself but my joints are killing me. I know - how random? I started to ache yesterday and this morning my ankles were slightly swollen and my ankles, wrists and even the fingers on my right hand are really sore and achey.

Obvious explanation is the skipping which is part if my exercise routine has nailed my joints. Am secretly (or not seeing as I am posting about it) hoping that progesterone has softened my joints and made them sore from exercise? My temp was up again this morning but another .3 of a degree. I;m only 5 days post ov though - too early?

Again with the obsessing.

Wasabi and Pinky we can obsess together

I ov'ed on Sunday I think - originally thought there was no chance this cycle as BD attempts had not worked that well during my fertile time. However, despite the fact I wasn't expecting to symptom spot:

I got thrush quite badly - a definite symptom (OK but maybe just cos of serial BD attempts

Vivid dreams - including a very odd one last night about trying to discreetly breastfeed a newborn and my boobs falling out everywhere !

Creamy CM

Bit of blood on wiping yesterday

On Tues, I was so, so tired - in an aerobics class, my legs felt like lead and I just couldn't move quickly at all. I've felt like this once before - implantation day for last year's mc but at the time put it down to restarting my very low calorie diet and my body adjusting

Haven't seen Yellow for a couple of days ? Hope all is ok

wasabi nice to see you back

Hope the aching is a good sign!

I will be joining you with the obsessing soon I hope - but AF not here yet - my rough estimate was sometime just after this weekend.. so hopefully not too long now..

pinky hope test goes well - when do you get results? Is it soon?

c1ndy that sounds good about your doc - tests all good too.

Am just going to keep coming on here and chatting while I wait for AF to turn up!

Glad your doc was sympathetic Cindy sounds like you are going to be raring to go come July

Wasabi yes it looks like we are very similar in terms of CD I am on 22 today, expect me to be going slightly mad next week, you are welcome to join me in obsessing!! No symptoms yet, but give me time and I will have convinced myself that I have every possible PG symptom going!

Had my blood test this morning, hopefully it will be a better result this time.

Hello to everyone else hope you are all well.

Right off to walk the dog...

crossed posts Iggy and Jools

Sounds interesting Jools

Hope AF arrives soon Iggy then you can share in the obsessing!!!

pinky enjoy your dog walk - mine was a bugger this morning

Hello!

Thanks for concern jools - I am here but had to go away yesterday and didn't have email.

Welcome back wasabi!!

Cd 10 today and managed to BD day 6 and 8. Hoping to BD tonight or if not tonight (dinner with friends - eating out never conducive to bd!) then tomorrow morning I hope.

No news to report though. I got given by someone a back of first response daily ovulation tests -one months supply (20 days). I have pcos so not meant to work but going to try them anyway. Is it true what it says on pack about how once pack open they can't be used after 30 days? I was hoping I could eke them out to next month to if necessary?
