Another thing I have noticed is how tender / painful my boobs are since yesterday does this mean anything - I go looking for signs and then get bitterly disappointed when AF arrives.

Bella23 · 17/05/2005 21:45

Rom - I would change GP....any chance? Couldn't cope with all the umming and arhing! A more sympathetic GP might make you feel that you are going through this with some support!

Welcome trix - another obsessive.....just what we like on here. I give you 2 weeks before you are POAS and using your DH's deodorant lid for wee collection!!

lilsmum · 17/05/2005 21:47

thanks for all the replies, i hope you all get BFP very very soon!

news with me is, today i have had some spotting (never had this), when my AF starts i am normally flooding the first few days, bad enough to use night time towels so i am even more puzzled now, it is like cm with blood in (sorry if tmi!)very very odd [scratching head emotion!]

Bella23 · 17/05/2005 21:49

Lilsmum - when should your Af have started?

Trix1 · 17/05/2005 21:50

Thanks for the welcome Bella - Excuse my ignorance but what is POAS and using your DH's deodorant lid for wee collection? Will try anything!!!!!!!!!!

Bella23 · 17/05/2005 21:54

Trix -
POAS stands for Pee On A Stick

We ladies love the ovulation predictor tests (particular fave is the cleablue digital - pricey but gives a satisfying face when a positve result)

Prefered method of collection of wee is a deodorant lid - DH's if possible....or is that just me

Bella23 · 17/05/2005 21:56

Lilsmum - actually thinking about it, i would make an appointment withthe GP asap just to discuss what is going on

lilsmum · 17/05/2005 21:58

bella...AF was due last sun

romilly · 17/05/2005 21:59

lilsmum - so sorry hon. that is worrying - although it could equally be nothing. i would talk to your doc. tomorrow.

bella - LOL at d/h's lid preferably!! yes you are right about GP - in fact there is another v.good female GP at the same practice who i always try and see, but i seem to get lumped with him each time. i will go and see her.

trix - have a read of fertilityfriend.com and peeonastick.com - our fave threads. everything you need to know about ttcing and more!

Tabs · 17/05/2005 21:59

Trix - yes I definitely find the 2ww the worst bit. I always try to read something into what my temps are doing, but they just don't tell me anything useful!

They're a bit odd this month which is making me unsure about whether I really did ov, but should be more confident one way or the other within the next couple of days.

I also go into overdrive on analysisng every possible symptom, but when I got pg last year I didn't have any symptoms before BFP, so this is also a futile exercise!!!!!

romilly · 17/05/2005 22:00

meant fave websites - not threads

lilsmum - try not to worry too much but do make appt. wont you, so you can put your mind at rest

Bella23 · 17/05/2005 22:06

Tabs - totally agree on the symptoms front as also had no signs when i got a BFP last time!
Its all part of the big scheme to drive us into the looney bin!!
Rom - yes demand to see the lady GP and be pushy, am inclined to think in this world that's the only way to be...especially when it come to TTC!

Frizbe · 17/05/2005 22:26

Rom, I 2nd n 3rd the suggestions below, go and see the lady gp and push the matter further (in the meantime I hope things go well for you in the month coming, so it'll all be for nothing )

Bella n Tabs, I had no symptoms with dd either!

so in the interests of science, what wild and wonderful ways/methods have people heard of being used to get pregnant?

I read about one girl, who could only get pregnant when she stuck her legs in the air for half an hour afterwards!, she had 2 children conceived in this way, and it only happened on both occasions when she did this, just going to sleep afterwards with legs flat never did the trick!

Frizbe · 17/05/2005 22:27

Oh Lilsmum, sorry, just skimmed the posts there's been so many! Hope you find out whats going on soon?

Debbsey, hope you an DH sort it out soon, it sounds like he's just trying to make light of the matter, as he doesn't really know how to deal with it? try not to be too hard on him, he's only a man....

Tabs · 17/05/2005 22:35

Frizbe - I think the strangest one I've heard is using real egg white if you don't get ewcm yourself! Just makes me wonder what happens to the egg as it gets warm - have images of sausage with scrambled egg all going on up there!!!!

Frizbe · 17/05/2005 23:05

YUKKKKKKKKK Tabs! eugh, can you imagine trying to stick real egg white up there! visions of dh trying to split an egg and then pour it up there, yyyuuuuuukkkkkkkkk,
But seriously do you think it'd work?

Tabs · 17/05/2005 23:18

Saw a website with loads of stuff about this some months ago, but can't find it now. Have managed to find some instructions on exactly how to do it though, just in case you want them ...

Sperm can move freely in egg white . If you are going to do this and your doctor okays it, make sure you do the following:

  • Wash your hands and the egg thoroughly before cracking it open.
  • Be careful not to get even the tiniest amount of yellow in it.
  • Use a fresh egg
  • Place approximately 1/4tsp. of egg white on the tip of the penis.

So glad they specified to use a fresh egg, as obviously people would want to use a rotten one otherwise!!!!!!!

Frizbe · 17/05/2005 23:22

Wellll thanks that Tabs I don't think I'm a gona try that just yet....... I'll leave this for someone else to give a go!! come on girls whose up for this one?!

charleepeters · 18/05/2005 08:35

Morning ladies hope your all well this lovley sunny day just popping into say hello and will post this evening xxxx

Bella23 · 18/05/2005 09:07

Morning ladies, the sun is shining - hoorah!

Well quick question re persona. Yesterday I got a on my clearblue digital and was expecting to see an "O" on my persona but this morning there was nothing and I have used all the tests. So does this mean that the "O" symbol will not appear seeing as there is no more testing this month?
Am confused as ov seems to be late this month as it is.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
xx

charleepeters · 18/05/2005 09:10

ok so how long after your af's due should you test a bit premature i know but just wondering

Bella23 · 18/05/2005 09:10

I reckon 10 days post ov is the earliest

Harrizeb · 18/05/2005 09:46

Morning Ladies, we have sunshine here too.

Af arrived today so on CD1 - DH's response? you mean all my hard work has been for nothing? I suggested that I restrict his activites to the best days in that case, but he wasn't up for that wanted to do it every day!!! I don't think so. Well not yet any way.

Charlee such cool news for you, I hope you managed to savage your DH last night

Rom good luck with pushing to get to see the lady GP and hopefully she'll be a little bit more knowledgeable

Debbsy Sorry he's still being such a bloke about this and not giving you the support you need.

Morning to everyone else and hope you have sun shine too - even though I feel really nasty with a stuffy cold, today has an optimistic feel about it.

Morning ladies!

Just a quickie this morning as at a client's. Thought I'd share with you a promotion that the client (easyJet) is running at the moment, which could let you win some flights. Check out this link: easyJet win a flight

Good luck!
