Cycle Buddies wanted! CD 1 Feb 6! No matter what CD you are on!

They say that you should only take EPO from AF to O Claire as it can cause uterine contractions in pregnancy. Read this Evening Primrose Oil, I have been taking it from AF to O to help with CM. I read that PMS is caused by lack of Calcium and Vit D so I have been taking that all month.

Everything that you are describing is the way I feel. I do have sore bbs and I am so bloated I look pregnant and I am moody....so that may be my pms starting too.

thanks for that info irish!! xxxx

 

[Conswayla M]

I take Evening Primerose oil, for helping with conceiving, plus I have bad psoriasis too! And it seems to help a tad. I only take it up until O and I notice a great change in the amount of CM I get. Its crazy really. Claire, all these things could be good signs for you! Especially the sore boobs and bloating!! This could be the month of many !!!

irish do u take the flax seed oil the 2nd half of your cycle and if yes where do u get it and how much of it do u take? also how much EPO do u take?

 

[claire99991]

conswayla i would love for it to help with my psoriasis i hate it no creams or anything work the only thing that works is light treatment and i carnt keep having that it comes bk as soon as i stop so i would love for it to reduce it a little

keep me a place in xmas thread i tested today got BFN am sure AF will come on sat but its ok i am going for my xmas baby!! xxxx

 

[Conswayla M]

Uhhhggg, light treatments, how many times have I done those? Not so much fun at all! Nothing else really works for me either, it is such a pain to have!!

If there is anything to take after O I would love to hear about it to. I was doing the green tea thing, but it absorbs folic acid, so all that folic acid I am taking is getting sucked away from the green tea. I am trying to find other herbs, I am going to the store after work today, maybe I can grab something...ANYTHING!!

 

[claire99991]

said on that website to take flax seed oil in 2nd half of cycle but i dunno what that is haha!!

 

[Irish_eyes]

WHAT? The green tea sucks away the folic acid? I have been drinking at least one cup of green tea a day for over a month or so, so all the folic acid I have been taking is washed away? I am actually sitting drinking a cup now...think I'll through it out and make a proper cuppa then.

Claire, I don't take flaxseed after O simply because I am taking a bucket load of vitamins and I don't know whether I am coming or going. You can get it in a health shop, try H&B but they probably charge an arm and a leg. Try Tescos to see if they have it first. I got my EPO in Tesco and I take 1 capsule which is 1000mg.

Well, last night DH brought a drink up to bed with him. I am always telling him off for falling asleep with it in his hand. He was watching some tv and I went to sleep, next thing I remember turning round and looking at him and sure enough he is asleep with the drink in his hand. So I took it off him and put in on my bedside cabinet. Then I must have went over again. Then I woke again, this time I took my temperature just incase I won't be sleeping another 3 hours. It was 4.14am, I got up and turned the tv off and got back into bed. I just thought I am soooo warm then I realise that I wasn't getting to sleep as I need the loo. So got up and went to the loo then thats when I saw it....the drink that I put on the my bedside cabinet was on the floor on DH's side of the bed!!!! As if he had put it there himself....!!!! Did I just dream that earlier as it was on my mind...if so...it was a vivid dream!!!

 

[cazd]

OOOOH ! Spooky!
Thats such a weird sensation - I blame it on ghosts!

 

[claire99991]

irish how weird is that!

well was awake till 3am couldnt sleep, is it just me but the few days before my period i carnt sleep at all im so restless at bed time its awful.

 

[snugglebot]

I was awake a few times last night too! What is wrong with us? All excited about our bfps?

 

[cazd]

I slept like a log last night - for the first time in about week.

Yup - I think it must be the TTC excitement that keeps us awake xx

 

[claire99991]

Well i need not stay awake with excitement tonight got another BFN today on FR it was a twin pack so i thought i would get rid of the other one haha. Nevamind

 

[snugglebot]

I still haven't tested... I am determined not to until Sunday. The is due Sat or Sun.

I just don't want to see a BFN and I have only one test anyways...the same one I had reserved for the V-day POAS party which I didn't participate in since the witch arrived on schedule.

 

[claire99991]

snugglebbot aw hope you get to use the test this time and you get a great big fat line!! xxx

 

[Conswayla M]

Irish, don't worry too much about Green tea. I have been drinking a cup a day every day.....well not the past 2 months as much. I think a certain amount is okay, and I don't drink it after O because thats when the folic acid is needed more. I drink a cup here and there. Some studies show that 1-2 cups a day is okay. So I have no idea, there is a lot of talk about Green Tea and pregnancy....and I don't know which to believe!

Common ! Yes.....I am still stalking you all

 

[Irish_eyes]

I haven't been taking it too much these passed few days anyway conswayla, does take a while to get used to doesn't it.

Well were are all you ladies tonight?

 

[claire99991]

well i got my flax seed oil and my EPO tablets, have took a flax seed oil tonight as im in the 2nd half of my cycle still and although im 99% sure im not preg didnt want to risk it. I hate taking tablets, i dont take anything at a absolute push ill take paracetamol but thats it i always imagine im getting all the side effects of them ... i am crazy, think it was from when i had my operation to have ovary out they told me they were going thru a little cut in my belly button to get it out when i woke up the pain hit me like a double decker bus i couldnt move and they started injecting morhphe into my arm and i was trying to tell them to stop cos i felt paralyised it was awful and dizzy couldnt focus was the worst feeling ever and they wouldnt stop putting it in, so i think it all stems from that! So anyway im now worrying about feeling weird of the vitamins haha told ya i was nuts!

Other than that got sum lovely lower back pain and period pain and i nearly died when i got on scales this morning io hope its just time of the month gain

When u testing Irish?

 

[Irish_eyes]

Well, I sneakingly tested tonight and got a hence the lack of PMA but I know I am only 9dpo and my temps are high. I am feeling quite warm at the minute and dh has the back door opened cos his smoking and my cheeks are burning. I am normally freezing when that door opens then again its not as cold as what it was.

Really I should be testing at the weekend. I have 2 ics so I am going to use them one on Friday and if I don't spot on Friday I will do it again on Sunday. I also have 2 FRER which I bought last month but AF showed before I got using them. But my spotting is due on Friday afternoon if that doesn't show its a good sign.

 

[Irish_eyes]

I think I am lacking PMA due to the lack of symptoms....have you seen the symptoms Snug is getting? She is well for a this month..lucky girl. So yes, I am reading all these symptoms and I don't have any other than what I am used to every cycle. I also am feeling pms because I was getting annoyed in work over things and that only happends with AF is due.
