Lanfear, got you added to the front page! Good luck!

Bing, that sounds lovely! I hope it was just the therapy that you needed.

Hello Ladies! :wave: back from a month of NTNP.. HATED IT!! much happier that af has started so I can get to temping again next cycle.

Will try to catch up on all the pages so far..

OFFICAL TESTING DATE.. HALLOWEEN!!

 

[Yoga_Girl]

Hi everyone! Hope you had a good weekend. I needed a pick me up, so I dyed my hair, painted my nails and went to Sephora. The lady at Sephora was super sweet and gave me extra samples. I have been having fun trying them out this week.

Eclaire~I have not tried the progesterone cream, but please let me know how it goes. I have the same challenge.

Bing~Hope you are feeling better! Yes, I just read on webmd that the US can check your uterine lining. My Dr is great, he just doesn't always tell me what he is looking for. What you will find with seeing a specialist is that they are the most brilliant people on the planet, but their communication skills are not as brilliant. So I would suggest writing down all of your questions before going in and be really prepared. This was advice that I got from another friend and I found it really helped. Good luck! Let me know how it goes.

Hi I'm new, my name is Nicole. Actually I was wtt but u think I might have been a but too presumptuous with my first chart after coming off bc and turns out I dtd on 2 of my most fertile days. Currently I'm taking prenatals and off caffeine and alcohol just in case. I'm not sure what I am hoping for. If I get AF then that let's me have coffee again and I'm not a big drinker but at least I can have a little over Christmas before TTC in Jan.

I'm going to be testing Oct 6

Here is my chart...what do you think?

I plan on testing on October 4! I can hardly wait!!!

 

[chistiana]

Hey ladies! Can i join you? Bing said you re a wonderful group of ladies n i would love to wait this out with you! At little bit about me...
05/10 ds, 04/11 mmc at 11w1d, 08/11 mc at 6w5d, 05/12 dd, 03/14 mmc at 6w5d. Sooooo its been a looong journey. I ve had 2 uterine septum resections (last one was 06/14) and this is our first cycle back on ttc. Unfortunately i kind of missed ov so we didnt really time bding well but of course you can never lose all hope right? I ll be testing on 3/10 if i dont cave before that (i m sure i will!!)

 

[chistiana]

Nicole wow this is a very well timed chart!! You re in with some really good chances so i d give decaf a chance if i were you!!!

 

[Bing28]

Morning everyone! I had the BEST night sleep last night in ages and feeling much more refreshed and happier today!

Yoga - thanks for the info! I'll make sure I go in prepared!

Hi Christiana :wave: nice to see you over here! The ladies here are amazing! This is my third month with then all.

Welcome back Canada! :wave:

And hello to all the other new ladies :wave:

Xx

 

[Nikoru0111]

Hi everyone! nice to meet you!

Chistiana- Yeah I might have to look into decaf. I just don't like how the decaf is processed. I need to look into getting some of that decaf that uses the swiss water process. The only problem being that I live in Japan and I cant read (or speak) Japanese that well.

Actually I am starting Japanese classes from October 1st, so I wanted to wait until Jan to start ttc and then I could probably fit at least 9-10 months of lessons in before giving birth. One of my best friends always says that babies come when they are ready not when we are though lol. She is pregnant at the moment and it wasnt planned. She is getting married in October (already planned before she found out she was pregnant) so now she has had to alter her dress and her honeymoon (she was meant to be trekking in the jungle). My other best friend is ttc right now and having a hard time so I am hoping she manages to conceive before I do. Fingers crossed.

(p.s) sorry I like to ramble on a lot...

 

[chistiana]

Lol yes they never ask us!! When i got pg with my dd i had to finish my dissertation but because i had ds and working i could never get down to it...at 13 weeks i was put on extremely strict bed rest (feet up and only out of bed to go to the loo) so i lay there for a whole 5 months and finished my dissertation before she arrived (5 weeks early little minx)!!!
And wow i admire you, japanese sounds a really difficult language to learn!

Bing hey girl, so glad you re feeling refreshed, a whole new relaxed attitude might do the trick!!

 

[Nikoru0111]

And wow i admire you, japanese sounds a really difficult language to learn!

I have studied a little when I was in the UK so I guess when I say I know NOTHING, it isn't true. It just feels like that when you are surrounded by people using all sorts of different vocabulary when you only use and understand the one from the text. Anyway at least in Japan I can go out and practice my Japanese as soon as I learn it and maybe it will stick. My husband works a lot of hours so cant always help me.

He is ill at the moment though, with a fever poor thing. I think he has been working too hard.

 

[jumpingo]

nikoru, where in japan?? being surrounded is hard but definitely helps! it works the other way too though; i'm surrounded by english now (living on a military base after living 7 years on my own in tokyo) and am forgetting all my japanese

 

[Bing28]

Wow it think it would be amazing to learn japenese but it's sounds like too much hard work to me!

Christiana - yes a good nights sleep and I'm ready to face cycle #15!! In response to your question in the other thread no I have never had a TV scan before so hopefully they will find something as I think there would be nothing worse than having unexplained fertility.

In Tokyo, yeah I am picking up things little by little, but it just isnt fast enough for me. I want to be able to communicate with my In-Laws properly and express my feelings thoroughly to them. I'll be taking 20 classroom hours per week of Japanese soon and I expect that I`ll have to do at least 5 hours homework per week and we have the choice of optional free kanji lessons after class each day as well. Plus I'll be surrounded and have my husband to help a little.

7 years on your own! Well done! I don't think I would have survived the first few months without my husband but mainly because the move and set-up is stressful and my job was particularly hard. I quit though and wil finish at the end of September woohoo!

 

[juscause]

Can one of you ladies please help? This is my first month temping. I also used OPKs and got faint lines up until yesterday, when it was as dark as the control line. Today's OPK was way darker than the control line. However, my temp took a nosedive today. When did I o?

 

[Bing28]

Feeling rather excited about this cycle now!

Just been doing some research online about ways to thicken your lining and found lots of useful info so just been to holland & barratt at lunch time and stocked up on Raspberry leaf tea, Vitamin E and B vitamins! Even if we have no success this cycle i'll be interested to see if my periods get longer/heavier!

Going to try and eat extra healthy as well this cycle. I could do with losing a few pounds anyways!

Xx

 

[Turtle0630]

Wow, lots to catch up on! Welcome to all the new ladies! Glad to have you along, and good luck! I think I've got you all added to the front page, please let me know if I missed anyone! And canada, welcome back!

Juscause, I don't know for sure but I would guess that means you're either going to O today or tomorrow, since your opk was even darker today. A positive just means you'll O sometime in the next 12-36 hours (I think, everyone seems to give slightly different time ranges for that). So having a positive yesterday could have meant you would have O'd yesterday, but since your temp didn't go up today and since you still had a positive today, I would guess it would be today or tomorrow. Hope that helps!

Bing, glad to hear that you're feeling so positive about this cycle now! That's great! FX that it works and that you can just cancel that RE appointment due to already being pregnant!

 

[ZubZub]

Hi, can you add me for 19 October (I think). I'm going on my 28 day cycles before my mc. AF arrived exactly 4 weeks after my d&c so hopefully my cycle isn't too out of whack and it's a close enough guess!

As an aside, do you ladies think we are CRAZY to try again? My previous pg's have been: normal DS, mc, Down syndrome DD, mc... 3 out of 4 pg's have not had ideal results. Scary. Thanks for your input!

 

[orionfox]

Ok please add me for october 21st Fx that this is the cycle for me finally. Glad to be starting cd1 today yay lol

 

[sheylee]

I'm out for sept! Please add me in for October 21!
