Hi Devers,

I'm so sorry I didn't reply to your post!! I so though I did as well, something must have got in the way. Please don't feel unwelcome; like worrisome says we're all in this together and everyone is so very welcome to join this thread, it's definitely not a closed circle. It's now full of lovely, supporting girls and I'm glad to see you've had some great responses already - but I just wanted to say welcome as well and sorry to hear you feel down, although it's only natural. This baby business is an emotional roller-coaster!! I've only just started and am already a bunch of nerves, I can't imagine how you must feel after 15 months of it. But you've done tests and they're all normal, so I'm sure the is waiting for you just around the corner!! Sending lots of and happy thoughts your way. Welcome again hunni xxx

Hi Devers :wave:

Well, I can finally poas again tomorrow!! I've totally gone in to withdrawl! Started SMEP last night... fingers crossed this is our cycle. So bored of waiting now... and broke from all the supplements, opks and hpts!! Not to mention the private fertility consultant.

How was everyone's Monday? Hope you've all had a good start to the week. Do we have any testers this week?

Hi Leelee

Not 100% sure think I am cd20 and had ov signs on Sat 10th so possible 8dpo or 9dpo. ut could have been later than that. God knows lol

Hi Devers

God totally normally hun. I would think it wasnt normal if you didnt feel that way. I remember my friend coming round to see my hubby to tell him our other friend was going to announce she was expecting at a meal we were going to. She thought I was delicate. How right she was.

Exciting stuff. 9-10DPO!!! When is Af supposed to make an appearance?

 

[Worrisome]

Should be 28- 29th. Just got some sharpish pains though, so don't know if af or could it be something implanting. I think Im just totally delusional (sorry about spelling) Im not going to have hit jackpot 1st time again and after being on bcp.

I noticed your posting on high temps, why would this be hun? Have you done anything different?

Well according to Zita West women are very fertile when they come off BCP so this might be your month!!!

My temps are really high after AF. They haven't come down under the coverline and I am on CD5. I started taking B-50's this cycle so I was just wondering if anyone experienced the same high temps.

 

[Worrisome]

Leelee are B-50's a vitamin. Did you have a normal af this month?

 

[leelee]

Leelee are B-50's a vitamin. Did you have a normal af this month?

Yes, they are B-50 complex - a combination of B6 and B12 to try and lengthen my LP. No I didn't have a normal AF this month. I had spotting for 2 days before (which I have never had) but the rest was normal. It was heavy for days and I had cramps.

 

[Worrisome]

Has anyone mentioned what the high temps could be? Sorry on hubby's mobile net and would take me ages to find lol.

Im new to temping so not really sure. Have you looke on fertility friend at other charts?

It could be the vitamins regulating my cycle and making my temps higher. I was drinking on a couple of the nights (after AF arrived) so some of them could be attributed to that.

 

[Worrisome]

Ooh does alcohol make them higher, I didnt know that. Trying to get my head round them for next month. Fxx I wont need them though. (see PMA is back lol)

Yeah, lots of things can affect them! Lack of sleep, moving around before taking temp etc etc

I'll keep my fingers crossed you don't need to worry about charting and that this is your month!!!

 

[Worrisome]

Thanks Leelee

This will be our month, pma lol

 

[berrukins]

Every day OMG ouch!!

Petite, no hun what I meant was I got caught with second son first month of ttc and it would be very rare for it to happen again as this is our first month ttc no3

Well got another sympton (tmi alert) I sqeezed my boobie and it had a bit of colostrum. So I googled it, like you do and it says it can be a very early preg sign due to hormones. Told you my body likes to mess with me.
Also went to pick my son up from school and the teacher was talking to me, son looked really sad and I nearly started crying, god knows what thats all about.



Berrukins, sorry about the cystitis, ouch, have you had an cranberry juice brill for this.

I'm now drowning myself in cranberry-grapefruit juice twice daily!! Kill 2 birds with 1 stone ... cranberry for the cystitis & grapefuit for the EWCM!

Hmmm, the emotional bit does sound very much like an EPS! I've read many women who have gotten erratically emo when they've just conceived, it's all the hormones doing its work!

 

[Worrisome]

Oh I hope so Berrukins, made a total fanny of myself lol
Ive been having grapefruit also, defo works in that department.
I have also read about the cough mixture.

Maybe youve created a new drink there ha ha

Hi Peach Blossom

I know what you mean about being bored of waiting! Since reading all the responses to my message i am feeling much more positive.

Like you say maybe this will be our cycle.

Fingers crossed for everyone

Hi Leelee and Worrisome

Thanks for your messages. I have been to the doctors had all the usual tests 21 blood test, ultrasound. I am ovulating every month but my cycles are quite long 33-35 days.(all the tests were normal)

I felt loads better after reading that it is quite normal to feel low/ depressed , started to think i was being a bit dramatic. A majority my friends are pregnant at the moment which makes it quite difficult to talk to them so thank you so much.

Positive thinking all round.

Thanks again

Hey - no problem at all. What did the doctor say is your next option? There is a thread on here about Agnus Cactus. It is supposed to make you O sooner. Also have you considered charting? I find it very useful.

This is a really supportive group as well:

Hi LeeLee

Thanks for the advice about Agnus Cactus will look into it. My Doctor has referred me to a fertility specialist and advised that i try and have a balanced diet and get fit.

Hope you are having a nice tuesday
