[Trolley_Dolly]

[Fruitful]

Hiya! There are rumours floating around that green tea might be good for fertility (increases CM or suchlike), though I don't think the evidence is very strong Still, I figure it's probably good for you anyway, and I'm trying to cut down on caffeine and green tea has less than black tea - and *much* less than my beloved coffee

Oooh, Trolley Dolly, I can't believe you're actually a air hostess! Guess I should have worked that one out, eh? You're so brave - I hate flying (totally irrational, I know!). What an awesome job!

I know what you both mean about the timing issue. I guess I'm lucky in that respect, as neither of us generally have to travel too much for work, but, as luck would have it, there have been quite a few of the last months when the odds were low, 'cause one or other of us was away around O It's looking good for the next few months, though, so I'm optimistic. Great that it's also looking good for you on that front for a while, Trolley Dolly! Go for it

Friskyfish - thinking of you during your wait! Hope you're managing to find nice stuff to do during your day off to take your mind off it. Bet you can't wait for your oh to get home this weekend!

 

[friskyfish]

Arrggghhhh!! I'm sorry to bore you all with my situation!! I'm going insane here. Just spoke to my man,who wants to wait till my period is ten days late before we test!! TEN DAYS??? I wanna do it now,thats another week to wait!! I feel shitty and fat tonight xx

[Tink80]

hi, guys! still waiting to O....but this cycle I don't know now because a bigger, better unit just opened up next to us and our landlord gave us first dibs and we could not pass up the deal..so we are moving before the end of the month..which falls right around O time..and i don't know if i'll really get preggers with the stress and physical activity around moving. we're still gonna try but sigh...why do things always happen around babymaking time? there's always something going on and then nothing of course before or after. we've gotta jump on this though..there's actually room in this unit if we do get preggers for a baby crib and stuff.

I guess I'm always a bit worried about accidents and I'm particularly anxious during take-off - you feel so out of control! I know it's actually very safe, so I do fly pretty regularly. I find a glass or five in the airport really help!!

 

[Fruitful]

Stlll waiting to O, girls (OPKs are negative so far) - I'm so happy it's falling just after the weekend this time, as it should make things a lot more relaxed! Can't wait, though - am sooo impatient!

Friskyfish, you must be feeling really frustrated! I guess he's just being cautious, but that's a long wait.

Wow, that was super quick, Tink80! Best of luck with the move and the babymaking! They always say it tends to happen when you're not thinking about it too much, so, you never know, it might actually help to be focusing on something else

 

[friskyfish]

I think that's very true fruitful,things do happen when we least expect it,so you never know Tink?? Fingers crossed for you!!

How are we all feeling today anyway?? AF still hasnt arrived yet! Yes it's a long wait 10 days,,he's been cautious I think,as he was really upset last time,as we both had out hopes up. Think I still may test on Sunday tho,which will be 7 days xx eeeeeeeeeeek
I did a shift at work last night,and one of the girls commented on how big my boobs looked! Haha sayin that tho,they always go bigger before AF ....along with everything else!! Xx

 

[Trolley_Dolly]

Hi ladies....how is everyone...im looking forward to the weekend its dh birthday so we will be doing quite some celebrating so im sure lots of alcohol is going to be involved...i will try my best to be goodAlso we have guests staying for one nite so not much gonna be happening so i think whenever i get my dh on his own im just gonna have to jump him lol.

Tink wow sounds great about a new place room for a babba must be fate.

Fruitful glad your not a nervous flyer...yes a few drinkies before hand makes is the way forward.

Friskyfish wow your friend noticing yours bbs thats quite some statement....bless your oh it is a real emotional roller coaster but so nice to know he really wants it too....im keeping everything crossed for...sundays not that far now...how many days late will u b then?

Every month i tell my dh af arrived he just goes ok not to worry maybe next month....but he is really stressed out with his work...and i suppose it snaps me out of feeling sorry for myself...well sometimes...

Whats all your plans for the bank holiday??x

 

[friskyfish]

Haha trolley dolly ,my fella says 'oh well,better luck next time!' Maybe they don't want to make too much of a fuss,incase it upsets us xx

I'm goin out this wkend,I don't know if I can drink?? I'll find it VERY hard not to!! It'll be 7 days late on Sunday! Xx

Yeah,yr gonna have to jump your DH web he's on his way to the loo or somethin!! Haha xx

 

[Fruitful]

Yeah, mine's always like "Don't worry, it'll happen soon" when AF comes or I'm getting anxious about it. He's much happier than me to just wait and let it happen in it's own time, but I think he's also trying to stay calm so at least one of us is

Bank holiday-wise, we're just going to chill, I think. Maybe get away somewhere for the day but not sure yet.

Talking of jumping OHs (lol), I've been reading this book, and apparently recent studies show that your most fertile days are actually the two days before ovulation, rather than the day of ovulation itself (and especially if you tend to bd in the evening). Thought I'd share the info, as I didn't know that!

Anyway, hope you're all well! xx

 

[Tink80]

Hi, guys. Thanks for your comments! I hope you're right

You know, I was talking to my hubby last time about how calm he seemed when I got AF and I'd be emotional and weepy and he confided to me that he was very sad too but he wanted to hold it together for my sake and men always try to appear strong even if they are let down and in fact he is hoping and praying for this very much, but he doesn't want to put the pressure on me more. So maybe that is the same with your OHs..they probably really do care, just trying to be strong for us, ya know?

Last night I was tossing and turning and feeling oddly bloated. Took a couple OPKs throughout the evening and all looked negative yet i spotted some EWCM. Wonder if it's because I've been taking the FertileCM and started grapefruit juice? I have noticed a few days before I O I get the EWCM. My cervical fluid and opks don't go hand in hand for some reason which is why I started the supplements. I'm going to do the cough syrup too every other day (when we plan to BD) before I 'O'. And we are also using preseed too. I say a little plea to the swimmers after we BD "get in there and really HOLD ON' then during 2WW i tell my potential egg to get to the uterus and hang on for dear life, lmao. I'm such a dork, little pep talks to my body

 

[Tink80]

Oh and Fruitful I have been reading that too. I read that actually you are more likely to carry the pregnancy to term if you BD two days prior and the statistics of miscarriage are higher if you BD and conceive on day of O.

 

[Fruitful]

Sounds like we're reading the same things, Tink

I say a little plea to the swimmers after we BD "get in there and really HOLD ON' then during 2WW i tell my potential egg to get to the uterus and hang on for dear life, lmao. I'm such a dork, little pep talks to my body

lol - I love that! I've also caught myself talking to my belly a couple of times during the tww

 

[Tink80]

Haha, Fruitful. Makes me think of that Friends episode where Phoebe is a surrogate and she's waiting to test and laying upside down singing "Are you in there little fetus? In 9 months will you come greet us? I will buy you some Adidas..". LMAO.

 

[Fruitful]

lol - she was always the best character!
