oooh cross with Rom, Harrizeb, could it be you ?

Tabs · 16/05/2005 15:40

Teuch - guess I'm against the consensus on this one, but I def avoid caffeine and alcohol in the 2ww, and the rest of the time too mostly, as both decrease fertility! Most places have decaf now, and it's easy to say that you're on a health kick without going into detail as to why.

Your call though - I know some find it harder than I have.

Lottielou · 16/05/2005 15:42

Hi Ladies.
Great new thread. Well after AF is over now, so am now on CD7. As most of you know this is my first cycle after my m/c so am getting down to some serious Bd'ing this week. Have decided not to use OPK's for this month and am praying that i wont have to next month.
Heaps of baby dust to all of us, i have a feeling this new thread will bring tons of BFP's for all of us.
Hope you're all doing o.k? Haven't had time to catch up from previous thread and these messages! love to all x x

romilly · 16/05/2005 15:43

fertility friends website says behave just as if you were pregnant in the 2ww with regards to drinking alcohol - which is worth bearing in mind if you are the type to go on a huge bender - but frankly i think one or two really won't do any harm...

Lottielou · 16/05/2005 15:44

Doh forgot to add the baby dust...LOL

Harrizeb - oooh sounds so positive for you, get yourself under that babydust gal!!

Well no ey face on the OPK yet....and am on CD13 and just checked that last month I got it on CD12 so not sure what is going on???
Little voices rearing ugly head again trying to panic me but just fingers crossed the persona gives me an O symbol in the next 2 days!!

Harrizeb · 16/05/2005 16:37

thanks - but it's got to be just my body doing silly things I'm sure, besides I've only just started chatting to you guys, I don't want to move yet.

fingers crossed bella that you get your y soon, bding just in case?

LottieLou - lots of babydust for you this month, you've had such a rough ride the last few weeks.

Good luck for the testers Frizbe, Handbag, Milosmum, fingers crossed for you all.

Yellowbear I hope Thursday is exciting for you and helps you be able to relax a bit and you see your little bean and the heart beat.

Bella23 · 16/05/2005 16:40

Harrizeb - absolutely!!

Lottielou · 16/05/2005 16:55

Harrizeb - Thank you hun, much appreciated.

Debbsy · 16/05/2005 17:00

good luck harrizeb fingers crossed for you and bella hope you get the smiley face soon.

munz · 16/05/2005 17:48

evein all, well over the w/e DH and I went from 4 BD's to 2 so not bad, and on 4 tonight as well as long as he behaves! anyhow off out swimmin will post again and catch up properly after 8, also BB in work from tomorrow (hopefully) so should mean more MN time for me! YAY!!!

Hulababy · 16/05/2005 17:56

Debbsey ? so sorry  Really hope you get your time soon.

Teuch ? I just continue in exactly same manner re drinking/eating in the 2WW. When I first started TTC, I did try to be careful but now I just get on with it. DD was finally conceived last time round after I had spent the weekend before testing drinking at a big night out, and drinking at a Robbie concert. She was just fine.

Lottielou ? good luck for this month

Frizbe, Handbag, Milosmum ? good luck with the testing ? when is test day to be?

Hulababy · 16/05/2005 17:57

CD18 for me, which in the past has been OV time, but not sure this month. Seem to have had EWCM earlier last week, and them again yesterday. Oh well - we will see in two weeks I guess.

wendy11 · 16/05/2005 18:09

Rom - ((((Hugs))) Your story brought tears to my eyes. I know exactly what you mean about the happiest and saddest days of your life, but remember that there will be happy days again and some day soon you will literally be jumping over the moon with happiness when you get your BFP.

Bella - hope you get that soon. The waiting is awful....almost as bad as the 2ww!

Charleepeters - glad the bleeding has settled down. Hope all goes well with your scan.

Debbsy - so sorry hun. You have experienced a massive loss and no matter how short or long a time we know we are pg we still maked plans and have hopes for the future and it will take time for your emotions to settle. Have a good cry and release the tension whatever way you can. Don't hold it back because it is going to come to the surface eventually and believe me better now that in several weeks or months time.

For me af arrived last Monday and still having spotting today which is really odd for me so thought I better ring the clinic and find out if this is OK. Apparently this means that the osetrogens are really low and is a good thing and should stop once I start the injections on Saturday. Don't mind so much now that I know it is OK. This may sound silly but I honestly think the acupuncture is helping my body accept the treatment as I haven't experienced any of the hot flushes or mood swings that I was warned about - just the headaches but that could be as much to do with having a cold as anything. Although have been feeling quite emotional as dissolved into floods of tears at lunch yesterday when I dropped the pepper pot and broke it into a million peices - not the end of the world but it felt like it

Sorry my posts are like an essay. I will have to learn to keep them under control

Hope everyone is having a nice evening.

Frizbe · 16/05/2005 19:08

Hi Hula, I'm not testing until next week, af due on the Tue, so will test around then, if she doesn't appear, although as was 5 days late last month, although I have tried to account for this in my cycle calc's you never know right?!
Handbag has said she might test on Fri, as away at weekend and might not want to be drinking!
Milosmum a bit in front of us, so? this week????!!!

Wendy11, did you see the daily mail today? (it was in the hairdressers I didn't buy it!) lady on page 3, had triplets on 1st IVF attempt, so fingers very x'd for you, how good would that be

Dust for all

Frizbe - triplets Don't know that I could cope with three, but would definitley give it a go if I was that lucky

Hulababy · 16/05/2005 20:31

Well good luck for the testing

I have a weekend away this Friday coming. Going to tay with friends, who are expecting their first baby. They'll be at 36 weeks when we go down. DD is very excited and wants baby to arrive whilst we are there. Tried to tell her that it won't be as too early - but in her 3yo wisdom she doesn't really believe me.

She did scare me though this week. She came into bedroom the other morning and told DH and me that babies grown in their mummy's tummy and then come out of their bottom Wasn't expecting that from her just yet!

charleepeters · 16/05/2005 20:32
