[the_key2005]

oohh Lolly love the siggy its so cute. I need to get IT-savy and do something cool like that also teehee!!

Hi xshell79, I did have af 11 wks after my D&C in dec. It was a terrible time waiting for that first one, she was a real witch then. But when she did come I was soo pleased. Trust me I never thought I would be this happy to see here, this month however am hoping she doesnt show teehee!!

Kanga, you didnt have to twist my arm at all, of course I will join you all for the 18th. I just looked at the 18th in my calendar and thats not a long way away actually. Am nervous now eeek!

Loving the siggy Lolly

Going to try and do one this evening if DH lets me get a few minutes on the laptop.

I just thought - wouldn't it be so fun if we all got to be cyber bump buddies!!!OOHHHHHHHH please let it be the cyber cyclers month!!!!

 

[groovygrl]

hello everyone!

Can I please join you? It will be calander day 28th for me on the 20th March.

A little background- DH and I have been TTC for two years. I got my first BFP on Dec. 3rd and sadly had a MMC and D&C on the 26th of Jan. (I was 11 weeks and baby stopped developing at 7-8 weeks)

I had 1st AF exactly 28 days after bleed indicating MC. This brings me to now, exactly 17 days into my 2nd cycle. (I've always had a 28 day cycle) I am somewhat doubtfull that I will get a BFP this month because DH and I gave it our best efforts on days 8,9 +10 only. He had to leave the country for work on evening of day 10 The days we BD'd were on the outer perimeter of 'optimal' but...

Anyhoo, I'll start symptom spotting anyway and watching the skies (well my knickers actually) for and I can test on 20th if no sighting.

Wishing you all lots of super sticky Baby Dust. Bring on the BFP's

Yey - Welcome groovy girl - let's hope you have extremly sperm friendly cm and kept the chaps nice and comfy till you ov'd!!

[hb1]

I think I will have to get busy with a siggy too

As for sympton spotting - I got lot's of cm around 4&5 dpo and lot's of tightness - although part of me worries that my cbfm gave me my peaks too early and this was oving but the peaks were cd13&14 which would be perfect. I have had some twinges since but maybe I'm reading too much in to it - have never really sympton spotted before!!!

[groovygrl]

thanks hb1

ya, I did what I could to keep swimming. Ate foods to optimise alkaline environment so now... (for future, does anyone know of any other things that can be done to keep them hanging in there?)

I have abundant CM so... that's the start of my symptom spotting.

fingers cx'd for all of you

 

[hb1]

Well AfricaQueen talked about evening primrose oil on another thread ( but only before ov ) so if I'm a bfn this cycle I'm giving that a go next time!!

What foods have you had to keep you alkaline?

[goddess25]

My cycle is so variable not sure when I will test 28 days for me will be on the 16th... my last cycle was 32 days but that was post mc. Maybe i should aim for the middle and try to hold out till the 18th. I have no symptoms yet of pregnancy apart from a bit more CM at this stage but nothing major.

Good Luck to all of us!

Morning girls,

Well, I'm super tired at the moment and wishing it to be a sign. I was in bed by 9.30 last night and just couldn't wake up this morning.

I'm slightly concerned that I've got a minor spot breakout with is usually a sure sign af will arrive in a week or two. Bum.

 

[kanga]

I have no symptoms yet, boo! Apart from craving sweet things yesterday but that could have something to do with my sweet tooth!

Welcome groovygirl! Look forward to hearing about these alkaline promoting foods ..

 

[the_key2005]

hi ladies, oh eemm geee!! am trying to remain sane here and not get too excited etc. So am going to refrain as best as I can from doing any major symptom spotting, but please don't hold me to that teehee!

I just remembered that I forgot to update you all on how the softcup went. To be honest I was very surprised at how easily it slipped into place and how I couldn't feel it. I took everyone's advise and slipped it in whilst laying down, it was such a breeze. Pulling it out over the loo was interesting but not as difficult as I had envisaged. I got a text from DH in the morning whilst at work saying ' Hun hope you didn't forget to take that thing out lol'. I think he was more shocked then I was that the whole thing went in so easily and that I couldn't feel it . Fingers crossed ey!

Welcome Grovygrl!!! Yeh I too will be trying out EPO next cycle if we dont get out bfp this month. Any tips you can give on the right foods to eat would be greatly appreciated.

 

[hb1]

Yeah - my oh was a little freaked out by them too

I found this link:

https://parenting.ivillage.com/ttc/ttcprep/0,,qzx3-p,00.html

I come out as middling compared to the advice - it contains info on more alkaline foods.....

 

[QueenieMurphy]

Ladies, I can seriously recommend EPO I took it for first time the cycle I got my bfp - I never used to get much EWCM at all but I produced loads - and I mean loads from CD6 onwards with EPO. I just took it to day 1 to day 13 to be on safe side but I'm sure it helped me get my first bfp ever(after 2 years!!). Took it again this cycle - loads EWCM again, fingers crossed it works again.

I've heard cheese makes a very acidic environment for the swimmers but would love to know other things that help make it alkaline.

No symptoms so far apart from feeling really really tired but work v stressful at mo so could just be that and seriously needing a holiday.

Think I'm 4-6DPO. I was looking on google last night for earliest bfps. A lot of people get them 10-12DPO.

Its good being on this thread though as I'm stopping myself poas and waiting for 18th when we all test(she says with 9 days to go).

Hope everyone ok xx

 

[hb1]

I wouldn't lose too much hope if you've been eating acidic foods tho - when I googled it a lot of the results were about naturally encouraging a preferred gender - more alkaline for boys, more acidic for girls.

I def think holding off is cool - there's nothing you can do now anyway and testing too early can send a girl demented!

Am finding sympton spotting crazy as never did that before!!!

[kanga]

My softcup experience was, um, interesting. I got it in ok but couldnt get it out!! I was worried it was never going to come out but I managed to find the instructions and 'push down', LOL! Will deffo use them again though if this cycle isn't my turn.

Still no symptoms, and no CM

 

[Lolly W]

I've decided, from reading all your posts, that next month my ttc action plan is:

1. Continue with CBFM - Although I'l lose love for it if I don't get my BFP this month!

2. Try Pre-seed lubricant (apparently replicates the best ever cm and keep sperm healthy for longer)

3. Try Softcup

4. Take EPO days 1-15

5. Scream!

What do you think?

Welcome to the madness Groovygrl!

Of course you're welcome to join us - pull up a pew.

9 days and counting ladies. Are we all in the same time zone? Just wondering when on the 18th we'll all be online to celebrate / comisserate!?

 

[hb1]

I think the screaming will add a certain je n'es sais ce que to your ttc!!

I right with you on that action plan - fxd you don't need it, heck fxd none of us needs it!!
