Anyone struggling to get baby number 2??

[slg76]

thanks girls. Feeling much better than I was. I have no idea why but I developed a stomach ulcer! The medication is helping a lot.

Today i have some tummy pain that I haven't had now for several days. I can't tell if it's the ulcer or cramps. maybe both? I definitely am tender much lower down which must be uterus and not stomach

I never know when I will test. Some day I just get the urge so I go for it. I always know I should wait until at least 12 DPO but I never do

I always get tempted by that little voice telling me to test early as well.

Ouch stomach ulcer sounds painful. How many dpo are you now?

Button I'm au natural this cycle except for my daily fertility smoothie! Banana, natural yoghurt, frozen berries or mango, a heaped tea spoon of royal jelly with propolis and pollen and topped up with almond milk. The royal jelly is an acquired taste but I'm enjoying it!! How about you? X

Ooh I'm also doing the clearblue trial next cycle where you got clearblue opks, there's a thread about it in ttc forum.

And next cycle I might try progesterone cream.

Oh! And also this cycle I'm going to eat pineapple core after I ovulate to help implantation!! Well, you never know!! X

W, I actually did pineapple core this month too. Can't hurt well actually because of my ulcer I skipped the actual pineapple and took bromeline pills which is what is in the pineapple core. My acupuncturist said it would help my ulcer too.

My H. pylori test came back neg. so all I do for my ulcer is keep taking the antacids for a month or so and see if it heals.

I'm 7 DPO today. Part of me really wants to POAS and part of me really doesn't because if I'm not pregnant I don't want to know I'm thinking sunday would be reasonable to test (10 DPO). Early. But reasonable

I'm just taking pregnacare this cycle and we used conceive plus.

My temp has dropped again today but I was up with LO early this morning and didn't really get much sleep afterwards so I expected it. The really low points on my chart are my LOs 5am wake ups. I think my chart is measuring my LOs sleep more than my bbt!

I might try pineapple core next cycle. See if it helps with the spotting.

 

[Mrs W 11]

Do you know what days I take the pineapple core? I hope it's not too gross, do I eat the whole thing does anyone know?!

Slg, excited for you to test!! 10 dpo sounds very reasonable! X

I'm sure I read on another thread to chop it into 5 pieces and then have some everyday on days 1dpo -5dpo

Yes. You can eat the whole pineapple in the 5 sections but if that's more than you want to eat you can cut the soft flesh away and just eat the core, the core has the most bromaline in it.

Mrs W - I was doing a search for a progesterone cream that was mentioned on another thread and found one on offer

Hello girls

I thought I'd join the discussions.....just need a place to vent my anger really....
We're 8 months on TTC and still no pregnancy...

I'm so upset didn't think it would take that long....we conceived our daughter so quickly and I assumed a sibling for her won't take long either.....wrong wrong wrong....it's soooooo upsetting

Hi Sailor :wave:
I'm sorry to hear of your troubling conceiving. It can be so frustrating! Do you have any idea why you haven't had luck yet?

I figured we would have two or three kids pretty close in age. Wrong!!! DD is 4 next month and now we are just hoping that we can eventually have a second one.

Hi sailor, we also conceived quickly the first time around and are finding it frustrating that number 2 isn't being so easy.

Welcome future-sailor

I understand how your feeling, I conceived my son quickly with no problems, we began trying mid march and got BFP end of April.

My frer ended up arriving this morning just as I received an email back from the seller saying it should come by Thursday lol, of course I didn't wait for them to come and bought a test yesterday and got bfn using smu, I had a cry because I just don't understand why it won't happen for me

Anyways I'm ok now and debating whether or not to test again, AF is due today but I don't think it's wise to waste a test when I clearly got a negative yesterday right?

I'm sure she will be here soon enough

 

[Button#]

Sorry about BFN BabyJan. Maybe wait until tomorrow and test if AF isn't here by then

 

[babyjan]

Ahah couldn't handle and tested again, bfn as expected!!

I think once AF arrives I'm gonna book an apt with my GP and ask them if they can carry out tests, do you think they will listen?

 

[slg76]

babyjan, sorry about your bfns. Your misery does have some company as I also was staring at a bfn this morning I have a few more days before AF but there's really no reason to think that this month will be any different

 

[babyjan]

Sorry slg

 

[Button#]

I think it varies by area and GP. I would call and if they don't see you ask what the cut off point is for when they will see you.
