salad I suggest an all-out assault on your DH'd sanity, with obsession about his underwear, bath temperature and banning of laptops being a good starting point. You could then move on to insisting he perform pagan fertility rituals at new moon. Then handing over the pot of swimmers will not look so alarming - see, there's logic here....

BUnderTheBonnet · 03/06/2010 22:24

DH's not DH'd. Doh.

Ban caffeine, alcohol and all favourite foods too. Go on! Let us know how it goes....

Miffles · 04/06/2010 14:00

Hi all...been keeping a bit of a low profile, as kind of adjusting. As some of you may know, I'm waiting for a scan to confirm I have PCOS. Appt is next Friday.
DH and I have been having long talks and adjusting to the fact that I haven't gotten pg as quick as hoped and that it may require medical intervention.

Then my wonderful (not sarcastic, I promise, she really is!) sister announced her BFP. Those from the Feb bus know debka. Took me a little while to overcome my jealousy!! All good now, and am naturally very pleased for her.

Have started taking all sorts of supplements (including Angus Castus) to try and help me and will let things be. It helps knowing the ball is rolling. Also doing pilates and exercising more to control the weight.

In the meantime - pass me one of those mojitos!

Prinpo · 04/06/2010 16:51

Hi Miffles, help yourself to mojitos. It's a magic jug that never runs out .

Sorry to hear that it's not been an easy run. I do remember debka from the Feb bus. No matter how close you are, it's hard to hear of anyone else getting pregnant when you're ttc for any length of time. I think there are a few of us around who are here for the long run so we'll grit our collective teeth and have the occasional wail at how unfair life can be.

I need to get some Angus Castus. I've started Evening Primrose. I actually heard something on the radio about how people are putting themselves in danger by buying Clomid online and taking it with no monitoring and all it made me think was, aha, maybe I'll get hold of some Clomid . Desperate? Moi?

Miffles · 04/06/2010 20:43

Ha ha ha!! Sorry, Prinpo I'm not sure if that was meant to make me laugh, but it really did!! That is so funny!

Evening primrose is meant to be good, but I would actually recommend flaxseed oil. Evening primrose has only omega 6, I think, which is not good to overdose on. In the Western world we tend to not get enough omega 6. Flaxseed oil is meant to have omega 3,6,9 in proportions 3:1:1.

Will let you know if it makes any difference....on angus castus (the tinctus liquid stuff), flaxseed oil, vitmain b complex, magnesium, calcium, q10 enzyme and multi-vit and mineral (with zinc). Thought i'd try and cover all bases!! This is all in a bid to get me to ovulate!!

Thanks for the sympathetic words. Much appreciated and helps knowing other people feel the same.

Miffles · 04/06/2010 20:44

(that should read - we dont get enough omega 3. we tend to have way too much omega 6 in our diets already)

Hi,
I've having a confusing cycle this month - EWCM every couple of days, but only tiny amounts, and temps all over the place. Wouldn't expect EWCM in any amount for a couple of days yet, so . Getting fed up the SWI already this month too - too knackered...

Miffles · 05/06/2010 18:16

welcome beckylou, make yourself comfortable. There's a jug of mojitos going around, I think.

Thought I'd do todays stats as got a little bit too much sun earlier today and now recovering inside! I hope everyone is enjoying this bit of summer. Outside shagging anyone??!!

Miffles · 05/06/2010 18:18

Seems great minds think alike, BUnder!! What does your name mean anyway?

busymum05 · 05/06/2010 18:28

lol wish we could SWI still bleeding a little from MC sorry (TMI) DH is desperate for some action...can't say i blame him it has been a while!!! I just can't wait to be officialy(?? sorry terrible at spelling)in with a chance for a march baby...fingers crossed for early next week

BUnderTheBonnet · 05/06/2010 20:21

at miffles
I picked my name when I was pg with DD1. We called her "B" when she was a bump (so that I was a mum to B - ha ha). I was really irritable and fidgety when I was first pg and my mum said "you've got a real bee in your bonnet today" and I thought no, I've actually got one under the bonnet. So it stuck. You're the first person who's ever asked, BTW! Where does miffles come from?

Miffles · 06/06/2010 18:00

Didn't fully understand your explanation, til I read it out loud - a mum to B!! It all makes sense now.
Miffles is actually my childhood nickname that only my closest family used. My sister (debka) is 19 months older and she used to be asked what her baby sisters name was. She couldn't pronounce it and Smith (not exactly hard!!) came out Miff. And so I became Miff or Miffles. When I signed up, I had a total blank as to what to call myself, so decided on that. Unfortunatly it meant my sister immediately recognised me on MN!!

Had a good SWI weekend. Or in my case, that should be S without I, as am not expecting to get pg!! Have my scan on Friday for the PCOS, and will take it from there. DH and I are feeling positive again, which is good.

Hope your DH is able to be patient with you busymum and you can get down to it again soon. Fingers crossed.

Nothing to report here. I find the first part of the cycle worse than the 2ww to be honest.

Medee · 06/06/2010 19:39

I know what you mean, B.

BUnderTheBonnet · 06/06/2010 20:05

Yep, at least the 2ww has all the symptom spotting to keep you amised, and the "am I, aren't I" thing. This bit is just a waste of time.

BUnderTheBonnet · 06/06/2010 20:06

Gaargh! Amused.

Orchid12 · 06/06/2010 20:37

Hi,
AF got me yesterday so I'm over here on the March bus now. This cycle is now one longer than when we conceived DS1 so I'm hoping it's our turn soon . Am trying not to be so obsessed this month, and am being nicely distracted by needing to look for new jobs for DH!

So, pour me a mojito someone and I'll pass you some nice homemade chocolate cake in return.

Hi Orchid, sorry AF got you but nice to see you here on the bus. Personally, I've moved on to tequila slammers. Anyone care to join me?

BUnderTheBonnet, I agree about this stage of the month feeling like a waste. I quite like drinking wine and having runny eggs with soldiers but at least when we start SWIing again I can kid myself for a while that I may be pregnant.

Orchid12 · 07/06/2010 10:13

Prinpo Oh yes, a tequila slammer or ten sounds perfect - especially given that I'm sat at my desk and it's 10am! Bring em on...

Roll on the SWI in a couple of weeks. At least until then we can sit back and enjoy the tequila without feeling guilty!

Love to all, Orchid

debka · 07/06/2010 12:02

Really wish I hadn't read your post mif... TMI for your big sis!!!!!

Please can I join?

digitalgirl · 07/06/2010 17:23

decaf so sorry , that's so rubbish. Hope your gp can help. Let me know what happens as I've got an appointment next week. Big medicinal glass of red tonight and a slab of chocolate is in order.

decafgirl · 07/06/2010 19:03

Thanks digi just had a meltdown on the phone to my mother. We really don't have that kind of relationship. Her advice? Give up for 3 months. Not what I need to hear really but I'm sure she was trying to help

Am just in the process of writing down all my cycle lengths from ttc DS and from August 09 so GP can see how odd they are.

First time round I had (in days)
36, 44, 67, 45, 68, 39, 36, 33

then this time I've had
34, 37, 53, 31, 32, 34, 46, 49

Do you think I'm a candidate for Clomid? I do think I ovulate but it's just really unpredictable...
