Glad you are home now Lucy, go have a good kip and let the pain killers do there work xxxx
 
Anyone know where i can pick up some 75mg baby asprin today? My choices are supermarkets or boots . . . . Going to give this a go to help keep hold of bubs.
 
Luce hope your in less pain now hun....Take some time off to get back both your physical and emotional strength..We are here to help you through this!

Raz, in greece you can only get 75 mg in pharmacies with prescription. Since my doc wasnt convinced about the usefulness of aspirin i went ahead and got the baby aspririn which in Greece is 100 mg but in UK 80 mg. Hope this helps
 
ummm well ASDA has a Pharmacy so will pop and ask there then, thanks hun. x
 
I am on a TTC vit at the min that has folic acid in it (been taking this for ages) but i also have a bottle of just folic acid so should i take one of them as well as the TTC vit?? Not sure of the dose. Oh i have also stopped my cod liver oil tablets as i was worried about the amount of vit a in them . . .

Oh dear only 4 weeks and the worring has begun already . . . :(
 
The preggo vits usually have less than 1 mg folic acid. The 4 specialists ive seen in the past 2 years all said we should be getting at least 2mg.
 
Ok thanks Vicky will check the mg when i get home and might take a extra folic acid as well as my baby asprin and TTC vit. Anything i can do to help i will do, i know the doctors will be very unhelpful so i rely on you lovely ladies xxxx

I know superdrug and Asda do them, I can never find it in my Tesco's.xxxx
 
Doctors unhelpful????? Now how could you say that????? Bad girl....
 
Lucy pleased you're home. Take care of yourself :hugs:

Girls, I have a question about robitussin. I've got a red raw sore throat and want to take something for it, but I know that a lot of medicines actually dry up cervical fluid. Am I better taking the robitussin do you think? I know if you're using it to increase cervical fluid you take it a week before ov. I'm still at least 8 days from ov. It won't do any harm to take this now will it?

Dawny, congrats on the witch arriving and well done on inserting the disco ticker thing. I'm shite with IT and had to persuade my husband to do a ticker for me and to insert my FF chart :dohh:

Happy Friday to everyone else
 
Lucy - Glad you're home and resting. Sorry you were in so much pain, sweets! :hugs:

Cesca - Happy birthday to your sister! I hope you all enjoy your weekend!

sugarlove - Nope, it won't hurt anything!

Nato - Congrats on 3dpo!!! :thumbup:

Raz - Love the ticker! Can't wait for the digi! You did win the battle, and the victory over the war is coming!

I hope everyone has an amazing weekend... I'm probably not going to be on loads today. I have the consult at 10am and then I imagine it will be very close to time to do lunch with hubby when the consult is over. Then, I really need an oil change and I need to pack (though only 2 days, so not much). I have to sort a cooler for my refrigerated meds to take. And, we're trying to leave around 5! So, you can imagine! LOL
 
Hi all, how are my favourite internet rabble

Vickers, i bd'ed until 2dpo as commanded by your hot dr. I have not tested yet. I am definition of self control. Ahem

I am talking to you now wearing a nose peg. Just in case that bean soup is still working.

Sugar, it wont do your TTc any harm at all

CJ, i still havent worked out how to find your chart and stalk you, will you click my link below and friend me on FF s i can view at will please?

Allie, how are you enjoying your time off? are you doing nekkid dancing in the kitchen if not, why not.

Amy, hope things feel better very soon, i get the same when af arrives, it can really send things awry

Hearters - hope youre having a lovely time with your ma. the temping panic sets in when i am about to ov, i've started worrying my temp increase isnt enough, or i'm not oving - you might show ov tomorrow for Wednesday from your chart, although i am a chart novice

Yogi bear, if SMEP is bothering you, are ou still going to do it? I reckons your sanity and relationship is more important, it got a bit much for us too, but last night i was thinking i will kick myself if we swerve tonight and i dont get a bfp. Im not sure how many months i can do the full smep

Hi Mone, that IV sounds horrible, well done for getting through it - glad theres only 1 more session. When i had my mc my arm swelled up as the stupid A&E nurse left the tourniquet on, it was really painful. How are you feeling now? Its just a matter of time before you get to a 'safer' point, you just need to do what you need to do to get there. I agree on the SMEP, starting at CD10 seems more manageable. I did actually ov earlier than usual this month so i can see the logic behind it. Like you though, i dont feel i have time on my side

Allie you are Ms SMEP 2010, we need a sash for that award. And a cash prize. Those drs appointments seem, er, just what the doctor ordered. "Proactive, not prolactin" is your new motto

Dawny, yeay at arrival of witch - she does have her uses occasionally. You cant leave now you have the signature. dance dance dance dance

Sassers, how the the twin beans today.

Megg, glad the motherfucker doesnt seem likely. Good luck at the consultants. I assume you dont need luck to do the oil change though

Cesca, do you want me to come over there and kick some boss butt? What a trout.

Raz, how's mini bean? Twit twoo at the ticker. I will be joining you for bump buddiness shortly. Get that digi done. Did you get your aspirin? I had problems with superdrug, they said i needed a prescription (even though you dont) but i found an independent chemist where i get them now.

Luce, glad youre home safe. Sounds absolutely awful, the pain can in some ways serve a purpose and distract you from what's happening. Sounds like rest and painkillers are a good idea. And soup and nice bread.
 
Now i am obsessing over FF and thats my new thing, i have been playing round with it and just found the search charts like mine search option on the chart gallery.

The SMEP plan is supposed to have a 40% success rate against the usual 20-25% or whatever it is, and FF backs that up.

Charts with the same bd pattern as mine have the following breakdown:

Ovulatory - 54%
Pregnancy - 41% !!!!
Miscarriage - 4%

Compared to for eg, charts that just have the same coverline as mine which have 31% pregnancy.

I am becoming FF geek arent i
 
and right, the charts where the member has bd'ed every single day from -4ov to +1ov has the same rate of pregnancy, 41%
 
Nato, you're so sweet! I'll take that sash lol. No naked dancing-yet- but I have danced in my kitchen, actually!

I haven't hide time to read the thread...and am off to get blood drawn, but wanted to send my love to Lucy today. :hugs:

I hope everyone has a good weekend!
 
Hello chickas
nato- so you're 41% up the duff really?? when will the peeing on the sticks commence? huh? 'm glad you're into FF nowadays I can properly stalk your cycle now....the FF force will tell me when you're preggie.....

Mone - Your iv sounds horrid love...keep strong x

Meg - I'm so pleased with this new doc of yours (well today anyway!!....I still haven't forgotten about the polyp/iui situation) and I feel so positive about this ivf working for you.....there are problems there, and they are finding them and dealing with them.

I get my baby aspirin from home bargains...they're cheap too, if you have one near you then check it out. I also take extra folic acid...just in case really, I take pregnacare tabs which have it in......and then *ahem*....:blush: I take another 6x 800mcg....I rattle as I walk lol.......actually I'd better not give the full list of what I take in a day, I'm more vitamins, minerals and supplements than woman!

I'm having a shit day...was up and about mega early, as my DS had an operation booked on his leg today and we had to be at the hospital at 8am....cue the hospital calling at 7.30am to cancel until tomorrow :( and I'm feeling very hormonal, having ovary pains....I can't wait until I ovulate...it needs to wait until after the weekend though....as I am too busy, tired and grumpy to BD!!lol!

I need chocolate.........
