AF due July 23/24? Looking for a buddy?

[DottyP]

BTW, Mariposa, you asked about diets...

I haven't really changed much. I don't smoke, drink alcohol or take caffine anyway.

I'm trying to make sure I eat as healthy as I can - smoothies and fruit to get my five portions a day.

I've just started taking the Pregnacare supplement once a day. Supposedly includes all the vitamins you need as well as your daily amount of folic acid. Was told to take them by the fertility nurse. Also got OH the male version.

Wilsey, Polaris, Mariposa, Dee and Trying4num2 - thanks

I tell you though if AF was a person I'd be doing time for murder the way I was feeling this morning.

Me and AF

I've had a little word with myself to pull myself together.

And I've sorted my treat! I've booked a facial, massage and makeover at a health spa - well I was upset so I DO deserve it

Thank you ladies for being there, it really helps xx

Wow!!! You know how to treat yourself don't you girl!! good lass, don't blame yOu. You know what if next month isn't my month I'm going to get my nails done n have leopard print tips haha I know I am not conveying myself as classy but I swear I am haha xxx good luck everyone. Taking my first ever ovulation test on the 31st so will keep u posted x

Male version?? Where may I find some of those??? X

These are the ones we take - https://www.vitabiotics.com/Pregnacare/hisher_productinfo.aspx

You can get them in pretty much any supermarket or chemist. Don't know if they really do much good but taking them would no no harm.

I guess the main thing for women is folic acid.

I was thinking about taking just folic acid but after I read the pregnacare packet I was like I have to take these! I think I would buy anything if it says aids conception on the packet which is daft as I work in marketing lol

Hey ladies!!

How are we all doing today?

I'm the same Dotty, I don't drink, smoke or drink coffee. Sometimes I have the odd green tea (especially around ovulation time).

I'm taking this - you think that is enough supplement? https://www.elevit.com.au/about-elevit/benefits/ingredients/

Hellooooo Ladies
Dotty i'm so sorry darlin that sucks *hugs* a spa day sounds very nice though

I tested this morning and got a bfn grrr AF isnt here yet but i can tell she's on her way *sigh*

I hope all you ladies are well

MWAH

xXx

 

[Wilsey]

Can I join you girls? AF was due yesterday / today, so this us the perfect thread for me, but I thought I'd become obsessed with symptom spotting if I joined too soon.

Anyway, I have had no symptoms at all, but no AF yet, so hopefully I'm in with a chance. And like Dotty, I keep thinking AF is starting, but it's just totally clear CM!?!

I'm going to try to hold out for a few days yet though before testing. Good luck to the rest of you x

Hi Ganton - so sorry, not sure if anyone welcomed you! WELCOME!

How are you doing today? What are your symptoms? Still just clear CM?

Let us know how you are

Hi girls congratulations to everyone who got BFP and big hugs to everyone who got caught by the witch, I havent been writing on this in ages, too scared after my mmc at the start of the month, but im whispering my bfp to everyone and hoping this little bean sticks,

Its my birthday in a few weeks so im sending all of you who are continuing into August good luck birthday dust as I seem to be very lucky this month (well bad start with a happy ending)

Gl to all xxxxxx

 

[DottyP]

Hi Wilsey,
Had a look at that link - that seems very similar to what I take. Basically, I think as long as you get your folic acid then everything else is a bonus

Tia, it sucks that you got a bfn. But hey, if the witch has still to arrive then there's still some hope! Are you planning to test again tomorrow?

Ganton, sorry I missed your first post. Hope you don't thin kI was being rude. Welcome! And how are you?

And finally, t-bell -CONGRATS! - and I hope the little bean sticks for you xxx

[Tia Maria]

T-Bell congratulations on your BFP, thats excellent news, i hope you have a happy healthy pregnancy

Ganton welcome to the thread When is ure AF due? Im same as u i mean all i have is CM - thinking its my AF.

Dotty i dont know if i'm testing tomorrow, my AF still isnt here, like i said i feel like my AF is coming and i sometimes think its here but its just CM. Do you still think i'm in with a shot? Even though i got a bfn today?

How is everyone else??

I hope you are well

xXx

 

[Wilsey]

Hey Tia,

How many days late are you?

I'm still disappointed this wasn't my month but thankful to have a short cycle. Sounds very planned and unsexy but my DH and I have looked at his roster (he's a cop so does shift work) and worked out the days we can get busy. He has days off around ovulation time so that's handy. Fx'ed for me please!!

Hope you are doing well and passing the time ok. So hard not to test!

xx

 

[Tia Maria]

Oohhh well least you can focus on gettin down n dirty with him on his days off which as you said is very handy Im sorry its not been your month but fingers crossed for next month....and we'll all be here for you through it

I was due my AF today...so i guess im not officially late as yet.....i think she'll come but a little piece of me is think...but will she? lol

How are you?

xXx

 

[Wilsey]

Thanks hun! This is the best thread I have joined - you ladies are all so lovely! Definitely keeping me sane!

I know exactly how you feel. AF came a day later than expected so I kept saying to myself and DH 'I'm 98% sure AF is coming' but secretly I was 50/50! I have my fingers and toes crossed for you Tia!

I've started temping so hoping that gives me some insight. Trying opk's again too. Didn't get a surge last month - but will keep trying.

Seems crazy how some people can get pg so easily and others have to try so hard....

 

[Tia Maria]

Awww hunnypot i really hope August is your month, my fingers will be firmly crossed for you

To be honest i have been quite arrogant.....when i concieved my daughter Lilly-Mae i got pregnant in the first month of trying.....and i was stupid to think it would be the same this time.....i didnt even do any positioning or anything this time. Guess it serves me right in a way. But i hope i still have a shot

What actually is temping? Ive seen people talk about it but im not sure what it actually is!?

xXx

 

[Wilsey]

You just don't know how it will work conceiving a second child. Could take exactly the same amount of time as the last one or take 5 times as long! Who knows why it happens when it happens!

You just take your temp in the morning and note it down (using something like www.fertilityfriend.com to make a graph) and then after it a few months it shows a pattern. There are spikes and dips in temp that show you things like when you ovulated etc. I'm still learning about it but hoping knowing what my body does and usual patters will help. Especially for not giving myself false hope.

 

[Tia Maria]

Yeah thats very true. You just can't take anything for granted can you.

Oh i see! I hope that helps you i really do. I've never thought about doing anything like that i might try it

xXx

 

[Ganton]

Thanks for the welcomes girls. I've been out and about this afternoon to keep my mind off cheking if AF has arrived.

Still no symptoms, but still no AF (just clear CM without a hint of spotting). My problem is that I rapidly switched from a 29 to a 22 day cycle a few months back, so AF could just be late due to a move back to a longer cycle. I don't temp, chart...etc, so don't know if and when I ovulated. I am therefore trying to wait until at least Friday to test.

If I'm really looking out for symptoms, the following are a bit unusual:
- I don't have any pain or twinges, and no change in BBs, except unusually pert nipples. If I weren't wearing a padded bra to enhance my assets, people would definately accuse me of smuggling peanuts
- I have had a very persistant ulcer at the back of my mouth for a week. I get ulcers quite a bit when I'm run down, but don't have a cold or feel stressed, and this one just won't go

Sorry to those who have had a more than unwelcome visit from . I think treating yourselves is an excellent idea, and best of luck for the next cycle.

 

[Tia Maria]

Heaaay Ganton
Well as long as the AF stays away thats a positive thing, i hope it continues to stay absent for you Are you trying for your first?

Lol you really made me laugh with the peanuts comment, i hope that along with the ulcer (u never kno) are positive signs for you

Keep us updated!!

Well its now 09:43 and my AF still isnt here.....keep your fingers crossed for me girls!!!!!

I hope you are all well

xXx
