Pipinha, I only have 2 angels but I know at least some of your pain. We lost our son in October to an accident at 17 months old. We were crushed. Then almost 6 months later we had a miscarriage at 12 weeks because the baby stopped developing at 7 weeks. Been trying for a rainbow baby ever since AF started again back in late April.

 

[Pipinha]

I'm rooting for you armymama, for you and for everyone else in our group

Baby for all of you

Just wondering what is everyone doing to ttc ??

I have taken the simple route so far basically just making sure to DTD plenty !!

This will be us going into our 4th cycle and just wondered if there is anything else I should / could be doing to help.. or avoiding
I have done a bit of googling online but find so much conflicting info & if you avoided everything they say then wouldn't be bale to leave the house !!

I have suffered 2 loses myself.. an ectopic, had to have my left tube removed, and a miscarriage. The hospital said i was just unlucky, that lightening had struck me twice. I have an 11yr old son (my lil soldier boy) but my OH doesnt have any kids. He is an only child, so would love kids to carry on his family name, but unfortunetly his experience of pregnancy isnt good. Its so sad that people who want kids so badly have bad experiences. We had a couple of bad experience's, but when i read some of the stories on here it makes you realise that some people have been through alot worse.
After reading some of the stories on here today, it has made me thankful for what i have. Life can be so cruel sometimes.

Ladies, i wish so much for all of you to get your rainbows!! Dont give up!!
for all you xxxxx

Weeyin , Basically if you are both healthy, knowing when you ovulate and DtD should be enough, you can improve your chances with fertility friendly lubricant.
Just live heathy and enjoy each other.
Up to a year on 1 time ttc is normal, if after a year you still have gotten pregnant, then you should have fertility tests done

weein09 Well as you know there is tons off stuff, i've taken the approach of trying different things on diff cycles. I always temp and use opk's tho so i can time BD ! A couple of cycles ago i used softcups then preseed now this cycle SMEP, preseed (lots of it) the odd softcup and started reflexology. Taking prenatal vits and a teaspoon of manuka honey a day. They say to put cimamen with it but i can't stand it lol Oh and lastly i tried robitssuin to thin my cm as clomid has made me quite dry!!

Apart from when witch is with me i don't eat suggary food, choc or have lots of caffene. In 2ww i drink mostly water no caffene at all . Yes its miserable!!!!

If no positive this cycle then i will eat and drink as i please on the next one!! Hope thats helped a little!!

 

[nimbec]

oh i meant to say i've been ttc for a long time and only recently tried all the additional stuff. I don't 0 without clomid

Most importantly don't let it become a chore to you and partner!

 

[weeyin09]

I did use a clear blue opk the first cycle & I got my smiley face pretty much when my calendar app I have on my phone said I would so was pretty accurate, I have really short cycles but what I find strange is I was on BC for 10 years until last OCT and we started ttc in April, up until the first month we ttc I never had any symptoms for the tww after o so the first month I was convinced I was pregnant, so I guess I just hadn't noticed and yet them seem to be pretty strong !! My bbs hurt just walking down the stairs today !!

What about staying lying down after dtd etc does anyone think that makes a diff ?
Just hate feeling like maybe I am not doing enough, poor oh has been told not to do loads of stuff lol

 

[nimbec]

haha yes my oh is like 'for gods sake WOMAN!' yes i lie down for at least 25mins after sex but usually all night as we do it more at night....there is evidence for and against but i think its worth doing just to help with gravity

 

[weeyin09]

ha you have to feel a bit sorry for them really !! poor guys

I'm sure my bbs think they are pregnant I have really blue veins on my aerola now which is new, our bodies don't half like to mess with us..

Still least I have cheered up since this morning lol

I noticed the blue vein thing today too, but convinced myself they were probably there all along and I just never really noticed!

 

[weeyin09]

see I have been checking, kinda like stalking my bbs lol

I noticed couple days ago I had some on my bbs and asked oh to check incase I was goin mad plus no one knows them like him lol

and now today, not this morning, this has happened some point during the day they are on my areolas too and really noticeable, bbs are killing me too just walking around is hurting

I defo feel like af just round the corner though so no idea what going on !!

Weeyin I feel you! My bbs didnt hurt at all this week and i woke up this morning with them pretty sore. Now (as the day progresses), I wish I had a second bra with me, because every step is killing me ahaha

 

[weeyin09]

haha glad I am not alone !! Going up and down the stairs in my work is like some kind of cruel torture

 

[HWPG]

hi ladies! you make me smile.
somedays i feel for OH, others i'm like, "you really dont have it that bad". other than going the bathroom, i try to lie down after dtd. and i def leave my pos OPK out for him to see, just so he knows the spotlight is on him! i've been taking vit B complex this month, and i made an appt today to have my 7dpo progesterone blood levels checked as well (in august). my annual exam is in september and i want the result when i get there, not ordered after the visit. i'll go armed with temp charts, opks, prog levels - just in case.... it helps to have something be "in charge of" when you're ttc, yes? cause it feels like so many other things are out of our control.

 

[ilovepiano]

Pipinha my heart goes out to you, you definitely deserve a BFP soon!


Did my bb's grow a size or two this week?? i feel them so heavy!!! fingers crossed although this could be leading to a mega-AF aswell lol!

 

[Hopeful H]

I'm out too. Been for a wee twice and there's definitely a tinge of colour. Don't understand it really, had different cramps, heartburn, backache...my body hates me! I've bought the fertility monitor so hopefully that will make a difference next month. Although we did it for days before I ovulated and the day after so not sure what else we can do!

So you took my advice! where did you buy it from? and can i ask you how much it cost? sorry but i'm very interested. Use it, and within a couple of cycles (i hope it won't be long) it will "get used" to your system and should guide you accordingly. That's what my friend says - and reviews as well.

i'm 14dpo today. bb's are full... no pain... we'll see. AF should appear on Saturday. i hope it stays away, far far away!

Hi ilovepiano. I did! Got a brand new one plus 20 test sticks for £79 off eBay. Hopefully it'll come in time to use this cycle. I need something-starting to want to avoid half of my friends just to escape the baby talk. Feel awful.
