Good luck this cycle Diddums and foquita

Glad to hear your appointment went well yesterday mrsc. You must be getting so excited to meet your wee girl now!

Happy Anniversary for yesterday Caroline!

Really disappointed today, only lost 1/2lb again this week despite putting in 110% and doing more exercise. At least it's a loss but expected more. Also my temps have been pretty steady this last week, is that a good sign?

 

[Diddums]

A loss is a loss NewMrs and its going in the right direction! My temps always stabilise for the few days preceding O so could be a good sign. Fingers crossed!

Happy Anniversary for yesterday Caroline xx

Newmrs-I agree with Katya you lost weight, that's a step in the right direction. Keep up the hard work, it will be worth it!

Nat- when you were on femara and getting monitored did they ever tell you how thick your lining was? When I was on clomid and had the scans my lining was always really thin. The cycle I got my bfp I had a scan the day after I o'ed and my lining was 11 mm which was by far the thickest I had. That cycle I drank two cups of red raspberry leaf tea and ate Brazil nuts every day until o day. Not sure if it helped but it cant hurt!

Congrats Nat and Katya on your TWWIt would be so great if you both got your BFP this cycle and then you could be bump buddies together!Sending you both lots of sticky

NewMrs, I think it's probably a good thing to be having stable temps. I think that stable temps=more stable hormones, maybe?Good luck, hon

Louise, it's good news that your little one is doing well and you don't have to have any more scans to monitor her growthNow you just get to sit back and wait for her arrival

Everyone in their last trimester must be so excited! I can't wait to hear all of the good news and see all of the pics in the upcoming weeks...won't be long!

 

[NewMrs2011]

Just took an OPK...not even a hint of a line, very unusual for me as I always get a second line. Something's definitely going on down there, whether it's bad or good I don't know, but it's just nice to see a change with something!

 

[mrsc81]

Good luck newmrs, hopefully something is happening

 

[Diddums]

Good luck NewMrs. Hope this means your body is resetting itself

 

[foquita]

thanks bethany

good luck newmrs, fingers crossed it means something good!

rachel, on my first cycle my lining was only 5.8mm on CD12 (if I remember correctly) so on the second cycle I drank two cups of raspberry leaf tea a day and it was 7.8mm on CD12! the third cycle I drank two cups of raspberry leaf tea a day and took baby aspirin (thanks to bex ) through the TWW. I think I have genuinely tried everything

 

[Rachel789]

7.8 mm on cd 12 is great! It continues to thicken about 1 mm a day until o so it sounds like the tea really helped, I think that is what helped me too

 

[foquita]

I think it was you who gave me the idea and I really believe that it was the RLT that thickened my lining!

still didn't get me a bfp though unfortunately!

 

[Diddums]

Hmm might try the raspberry leaf tea. How much do I drink and when in my cycle. Before O? Do Tesco sell it? Xxx

 

[foquita]

I drank two cups a day up until O I'm not sure if you get it in tesco but you do get it in holland and barrett. one tip of advice I would give you, buy the brand clipper because it's really lovely tasting! I got a white box from H&B, not sure what the brand is called, and it didn't taste as nice it was really weak tasting. the clipper stuff is amazing and is well worth the extra money

it can cause uterine contractions apparently which is why it's not advised during the 2WW or before 36 weeks pregnant

 

[foquita]

my lining was about the same both cycles that I drank the tea, a 2mm improvement on the cycle without the tea

it was actually more than 2mm because my lining was 5.8mm for trigger at CD13 and the following month it was 7.8mm at CD12

 

[Rachel789]

I have heard good things about drinking it late in pregnancy. I still have a lot left so I am going to ask my dr if its ok that I drink it after 36 weeks.

 

[rmsh1]

I'm starting to drink it tomorrow, right on 37 weeks It cant hurt

 

[Diddums]

Thanks ladies. Maybe will pick some up and try it for a couple cycles.

Got my temp rise this morning so looks like I'm in the tww. I'm 99.9% sure I'm not pregnant, we were both so tired we didn't bd much, decided to make more of an effort next month, maybe skip the gym over O so we actually have some time together! But either way this is my fourth month ovulating. Not going to bother with a progesterone test this month but will have one next month again xxx

 

[mrsc81]

Well im hoping your wrong and you get a bfp!

 

[Diddums]

Hello ladies hope you all have a relaxing weekend!

FF gave me cross hairs and says I'm 5dpo, I'm think I'm only 2dpo. What do you ladies who chart think? Xx

 

[Rachel789]

Due to the timing of your +opk and ewcm that you may have o'ed on cd 28.

 

[Rachel789]

Wow Bex and Louise I just looked at your tickers and you both only have about 20 days to go and are both full term
