Cyber Cycle Sisters! ---- 2 BFPs again this month, we are on a roll sisters!!

[cutelou101]

Hi,

I was wondering whether i could join. Got AF on Saturday after MC 13th Feb. We did TTC after MC, but did not work so TTC again this month

I'm currently on CD4, thinking i am 28 dayer, but was on pill for so many years i can't remember!

yaaay for glorious week-end have fun with that hb

those irregular timings were only possible because DH and I went to his family's beach house for a week. We each organised one week off work with the sole purpose of TTC. This seemed to work for us Sadly, it's just not even remotely possible for both of us to take a week off every month

question for the group: once a day?, once every other day?, as many times a day as poss.? what's your feelings or understanding of this?

Lolly - what day(s) of your cycle did you think you conceived? or, did you guys do it so much that it's hard to pin it? Kinda personal, I know. sorry

 

[groovygrl]

Oh Lou I'm so sorry. we all know that hurt.

you are most welcome here! Our lovely friend Lolly just took one for the team and got a BFP last week so... I'm thinking we've got good TTCAL vibes going on. We are all still grieving but working towards another BFP and a healthy 40 weeks and wee bub. Lots of support and great info. here. Sing out if you need help with the acronym's (I know I did)

 

[QueenieMurphy]

Lolly thanks for info re aspirin, I think I wont take it, have also read somewhere on here someone said it can affect fertility so not to take at least until you're pregnant so have decided to leave well alone.

Ladies I did once read that sperm are faster in the a.m so perhaps a morning BD is the way to go - have also read(yes I read about TTC ALL the time) that the best time to BD is between 3 and 7 pm as that is the most likely time that ovulation occurs, I do try to get OH up the stairs straight after work around O for that reason. Sadly a morning BD not an option here unless weekend, I'm awful in the mornings though OH would be up for it I just am not a morning BD'er!!!

Groovy sorry about your AF, hope shes not giving you too much trouble, flaxseed oil supposed to be very good for us so I might start taking that, always reading about how great it is.

Am ordering our shopping for next week, ordering lots of foods for fertility, berries and mackerel and seeds, OH not impressed(and neither am I frankly but needs must).

Cutelou, hi there, nice to meet you Hun and welcome to our thread, very sorry about your loss hun, you're on CD4 like me - we can go through the cycle together - the awful 2WW.

I don't think I'll get a bfp this month, just got a feeling will be a few months for me, don't know why. Diet is going well though - think am finally in the zone.

Hope you're all ok ladies - HB how did it go with the spell???

[QueenieMurphy]

Groovy the 2 months I've got bfp we've done it ( I ovulate CD14/15) CD6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and then usually only about twice for the rest of the month as we're exhausted!!!

When OH had low count and motility we were told only do it every other day as they said the swimmers need to regroup but now his count has gone up we do it every day round OV.

[groovygrl]

the_key - aha! OV pain, pre seed and BD - perhaps that's like the holy trinity of getting a BFP - temps up too?! ACE! Now... the wait!

your turn to get us the BFP?!

 

[cutelou101]

Thanks Groovy and Queenie, needed some postivity for TTC so thanks for having me

I never tracked my OV last time, just did a quick online guide and seemed to work. But bought ov tests online yesterday, has anyone used them before? Going on hol to cornwall next week, so the right time for trying

 

[groovygrl]

lucy - ha ha ha ha was laughing out loud when I read your shopping list and your comments. I know, I know.

DH not really impressed with my dietary efforts either, he's such a meat and potatoes guy. what are your thoughts on coffee and alcohol. I know (from reading way too much) that both are definately not ideal but... DH and I love our wine and I'm from the camp that believes God created and blessed the coffee bean lol. Anyhoo... I'm down to one cup of coffee a day and limit myself to three standard drinks (glasses of wine) a week. Sometimes I fall off the wagon but most weeks I stick to it. I have to avoid certain friends sadly.

sorry for all the queries ladies. just putting together a new game plan in my 'cycle off TTC'

 

[groovygrl]

enjoy your holiday cutelou - be gentle, loving and generous with your hurting beautiful self. HAPPY...blissfull 'ing

 

[hb1]

Spell is cool.

Well - we're dtd today, tomorrow, Friday and then aaaaaaaalllllll weekend poor oh!!!

Hey CuteLou - Welcome hoping you get a swift BFP

Hope everyone is well

Just spent an hour crying to "one born every minute" as they were following premature babies - oh was in tears too - never seen it before today. A lady at my work gave birth at 27 weeks recently - she must be so brave - am crossing my fingers he makes it!!

Off too bed - need to keep the energy up for bding and that crying's taken it right out of me....

sleep tight ( have a good day Groovy! )

[cutelou101]

Sorry ladies, just got a quick question. Saturday morning i got a very very faint positive (had couple of sypts in week too), then evening AF arrived, not sure if this sign of chemical preg, and if so if i should go docs or just ignore and carry on next month??

Thanks HB, i skyplus'ed that tonight, was it any good, i have advoided the programme so far! happy bd'ing xx

 

[groovygrl]

cutelou - my really 'unqualified' opinion is that it could be one of two things.

1) because you were carrying twins you had double the amount of HcG circulating in your body and this may mean it takes longer (than most single pregnancies) for levels to dissipate. The HPT you did might have picked up remaining and/or declining hormone.

2) you actually did have a chemical pg.

Either way, I would suggest you mention it to your dr. If it's determined that it was a chemical pg, you want it noted so that if you choose to persue investigation process's in the future you're sure to be better and more quickly supported with all the info.

take care x

 

[QueenieMurphy]

Well done HB!! Fingers crossed the spell works, it makes me laugh how we say poor OH all the time, it should be their idea of heaven all this BD'ing!!!

Groovy - well done you cutting back the alcohol to 3 a week. I want to give up altogether but its not easy - I tend to try not to drink as much as poss (drive when we're going out so I have the excuse) but at other times if I'm out with certain people I end up have quite a few so I need to decide really to give up properly. I'll drink in Rome I think - we're going with some real big drinking friends so I know a lot of time will be in bars and after that I think I'll really cut back - just friday night though = wine !!! I always start getting that friday(wine) feeling about 5pm on a friday.

I don't drink coffee - about the only vice I've managed to avoid in my life, but i do drink a lot of tea and my acupuncturist said try and only have 2 - i didnt realise tea was bad!!

Cutelou - I agree with groovy, its one of those two things - i think very possibly the chemical so definitely tell your GP - I've just had the same thing and she said its counted as a m/c so I'm glad I told them. I'm so sorry Hun, its awful getting a positive hpt and then bloody AF turns up. Fingers crossed for another bfp this cycle xxx

 

[QueenieMurphy]

Groovy - one thing about wine, I think red is better than white, so I don't feel so bad if I have red wine!!! White wine is apparently the devils brew when it comes to TTC. I don't know where rose comes in!!!

 

[groovygrl]

haha! Good thing I'm usually a red drinker! No, you def. can't play the limit's game when you guys go to Rome. I'll support you in the 'when you get home' plan. More important to really enjoy yourself! When DH and I conceived, we spent a week at the beach eating and drinking to EXCESS

DH is a girl sometimes 'cus he prefers white wine but now I can tell him it's the devil's brew so don't bring it 'round our table. RED,RED, RED.

re: sadly, it's all about caffeine being the 'evil' here so ya, tea's not on the top 10 list either. Sorry I'm trying to get into herbal teas and fake coffee beverages but they don't give me the warm fuzzy's and they make me crabby.

sad and sorry and crappy about the chemical babes. Sorry i didn't acknowledge it earlier.

 

[cutelou101]

Thanks Groovey and Queenie, i thought it might be, as i did tests after mc to see when hgc levels dropped to try and track ov, so i did have a negative about two weeks after mc. I'll try and see him, but he is a strange man

Def don't worry about cutting back in Rome Queenie, worry about that when you get home. the main point is to make sure you enjoy yourself.

ha ha! yes its is always poor OH, maybe they feel under pressure??? I'm sure its my OH dream!!

 

[kanga]

I was thinking the other day about how a lot of teenagers get pregnant and how lucky (!) they are to just get pregnant without really 'wanting' to.

Well, I think we should follow their lead girls.

This weekend, dh and I will be sat in the park drinking cider, in our tracksuits. We will proceed to do it in the bushes, followed by a trip to McDonalds for a burger and fries. Followed by another fumble on the way home.

That outa do it

Welcome cutelou x

 

[QueenieMurphy]

hahaha Kanga, can you take pictures.

It is extraordinary how many people get pregnant by accident when there is only about 12 hours a month when it can happen. I bet they don't lie there with their legs up in the air for 30 mins either.

CD5 for me, the BD marathon begins tomorrow.

 

[Lolly W]

Ha ha ha! Love it!

My theory is that they (teenagers) do it several times a day, every day apart from when they're at youth club or causing trouble on street corners. These days we just don't have the stamina!

I missed a busy evening on here last night - Welcome to our new pal cutelou101. Are you on Facebook? A couple of us are and it's lovely to put a face to a name.

Groovy - I can't really remember the dates but I do know we did it every night I had a high on my cbfm, the morning and night of my peak and then the evening I went back to high. If you look back on this thread, I think I told you when we'd done it (cringe)!

Still no symptoms from me I'm afraid. I'm sat with a toasted hot cross bun and a decaf coffee wondering what to have for lunch. I've done the hoovering which is a real mission with a 5 month old golden retriever puppy at my feet and put some washing on - what fun!

 

[the_key2005]

Ola ladies wow I too missed a busy night on here last night. Groovygirl the wait oh that dreaded wait, a tiny intsy bitsy part of me wants so bad to be able to use my brand new shiny CBFM next month but I wont be too upset if I don’t get to use it teehee!! PMA all around.
Welcome CuteLou, so sorry to hear about your mc and the chemical, good on you for getting right back into it. Which OPKs did you get? Oohh cornwall, I have managed to convince DH to take me to Cornwall for this year's summer hols. You will need to give me some tips on accomodation etc
Girls morning is a very rare occurance in our household because like most of you we are both out the house by 7am, the thought of getting up at 5am to squeeze in a little nookie always gets out weighed by the thought of more sleep lol
Oh no I missed 'One Born Every Minute' must 4OD that tonight, oh and Kanga you had me giggle to myself. The sad thing is I was brought up believing that you could get pregnant easily so did everything within my power not to especially with the whole stigma stuck to being a teenage mum. I remember being on the pill from 16yrs *sigh*. Can you imagine my joy when I knew I could actually fall preggers. Now to just get that sticky bean, right girls!

See what happens when I miss one night with you girls, I end up writing a massive best seller post…geeezz
