[klemoncake]

oh manny, sorry hun. particularly annoying when you tried so hard with the bd'ing.
my due date was the 26th aug, so maybe this will be our month and we'll get in just in time for the due dates. really hope so hun.

cath- thats gone quick! am really pleased for you, one month will go fast!

manny are you trying anything special this month?? I'm going back to preseed as i think we used that the month i was pregs.

 

[mannymoo]

In general I'm not going to do anything different this month - except maybe try stress less (as if?!?). In a way its a good thing this isn't my month because I'm still on the reflux meds and have my gastroscopy on Friday. This last month I was completely stressed out about my health but now that my pains have completely subsided due to the meds I think I will be more relaxed this month (knowing that it IS just reflux and I'm not dying!!) I've also cut out all the nice things in my diet (coffee, chocolate, anything oily etc) which I only started on 2dpo so I'm going to keep up with that I think. The other thing I'm going to do is START drinking again! With the exception of my two holidays, I've totally stopped drinking this year (no wonder my health has been so poor!!) so I figured I'm going to reintroduce a glass of vino now and then. It can't hurt, can it?

Lemon I'm starting to think that just being ourselves and not trying so hard to get pregnant might be the key to getting pregnant. I've already done my maths for this cycle and I'm going to be testing on my D-day which is 27th and if positive, 40 weeks from today is the day I had my second mc. Would be weird if this is the month...

Kat - how are you feeling? Strong? I think we've lost Kelly to her journal group so its just the four of us for now...

 

[KatM83]

if it helps, this time round i had kinda made peace with the fact if i didnt pregnant we would be waiting a year and i really really didnt think i would catch, i used opks and followed the smep, it was far from romantic haha, i dont drink really anyway but i didnt do anything different with my diet. Im doing ok, cant be bothered with work tonight but ho hum..i think i felt movement just before have been getting impatient not really sure weather i'd been feeling bubs or not!
I really hope you ladies get bfp next month xxx

 

[mannymoo]

Oh Kat - I hope it is Bubs that you can feel moving. Timing is probably about right now. I've not tried SMEP yet. Maybe I should give that a bash this time around. It can't hurt. Hope work doesn't drag too much tonight.

 

[klemoncake]

ahhhhhh, how sweet!!! that must feel AMAZING knowing babes inside you! wow!!

As for the drinking manny, to be honest I don't really drink at all anyway, but the last few months I've just gone with it so on AF I've had a couple of drinks and then if its a special occasion i will have a glass. looking back over the last year, i think of all the things I've not done "just in case" and now I'm just feeling like, its clearly not having the odd glass of wine or not is making the difference, its either something wrong, or just shitty luck.

I'm speaking to a complimentary therapy lady about doing some stuff with her, which is normally not at all my bag, but i think some stress relieving stuff is defo a good idea.

so what day do you ov on normally? I'm cd 4 today and normally ov on day16, so thinking we must be pretty close?? x

 

[mannymoo]

Oo I'll be interested to hear what the therapy lady says. And only one week till your appointment. According to ff I Ov on cd16 too and today is cd1 so we're only 3 days apart now. Def bump buddies when we get our bfp This month!!

 

[KatM83]

Yea go for it, its just fitting it in Like i said it really wasn't a romantic time for us kinda like we got to do it haha.
I feel massive today my boobs are ever expanding haha.
klemon ive heard good stuff about preseed, im not personally one for giving up stuff to ttc but i really believe that i've got this far now because oh stopped the cigs! He stopped when got pregnant last time but the other mc i had the dad was a smoker too..i know it might not be right but thats what i think xx

 

[mannymoo]

So I've done my SMEP schedule, sent it to DH, put it in our calendars and stuck it on the fridge. Romance is certainly dead when it comes to baby-making!

 

[KatM83]

hahahaha

 

[klemoncake]

ha ha ha! We've got our schedule too!
ooh, so what do you think about this (its a bit gross)- i read somewhere someone had used these soft cup things which are like little cups people use for AF but you put it in after bd to sort of hold the spermies near the cervix!!! i bought some!!! they look yuk but i thought why not!!

am counting down till tues!! hope they can do something!

poor dh had to do another sample yesterday in the hospital he doesn't like it! they have really bad quality porn stuff he says and it freaks him out!!!!

 

[mannymoo]

haa ha - its so funny to think of porn at a hospital! I've heard that those soft cups work really well. You can be the Guinea pig for this one and if it works for you, I'll try track some down... Can't believe your appointment is in a few days now. That is really great! Hopefully they can give you some answers before O-day a few days later!

Kat hope you doing well?

FMS - going in for my scopes tomorrow morning and dreading it. AF was also really weird. Sorry if TMI but it was super heavy but only two days long - less than 48 hours. Then very light spotting after that. My body is weird!!!

 

[KatM83]

Hahaha bless him talk about under pressure i've never heard of them cups, what a good idea though! I hope you get some answers Tues thats come round quick, bet your glad.
Manny have you been doing anything different like more exercise or diet? that affected me for a few cycles.
I'm fine, can defo feel baby moving about now, seems to be after getting in from walking dogs or tidying up etc i'm so chuffed..it feels like muscles twitching and sometimes feel a big pop xx

 

[mannymoo]

Kat thats fabulous! What a wonderful feeling it must be. I do look forward to that some day. Looking forward to seeing what your picture changes to tomorrow.

Not doing anything different. I run a few times a week and thats about all the exercise I do so will just keep that up. And with the reflux I've cut out all the bad stuff from my diet anyway (battling without coffee but feeling healthier!) so not really changing my diet either. I just read a post elsewhere where a lady swears by drinking horlicks. Might give that a try as I love horlicks and need a coffee replacement anyway.

We're away (again) in the run up to Ov. I'm a little concerned that we weren't successful last month because we BD'ed all 11 days leading up to Ov. But thankfully my MOM is coming away with us so there probably won't be as much BDing - LOL. Going to try stick to my SMEP schedule as best I can.

Lemon - are you doing SMEP this cycle?

 

[KatM83]

Ive decided that ticker is stupid!
Yea you need to give the spermies a rest haha.. you will feel it next time i'm sure of it xx

 

[Kelly9]

You haven't loooooost meeeeee!!!! For some odd reason this thread stopped popping up on my list and I only just realized it now plus I was away just got back yesterday

Sorry AF got you manny and klemon! Hopefully neither of you will have many more.

Cath I'm glad that you can put everything with your last loss behind you now, Sept is soooo close it's scary.

AFM: not much going on, ms some days none the others. Had a scan at 5+4 saw yoke sac, cause I went to emerge for my gallbladder again so taking it easy and watching what I eat to some extent. Next scan is in a week, very much hoping to see heart beat so I can relax some.

 

[klemoncake]

Hey, I'm prob too late but hope the scopes went ok manny and not too uncomfortable. When do u get results?
Kat- I love it! Can't believe u have an actual baby inside you, moving around!! Sooooo cute!!
Glad your back kelly and really glad things going ok for u.
I'm off on a hen do this weekend, starting smep on my return! Xx
