Resisting the title Wonky Cycles R Us....boarding the Maca Train to BFP Central!

[CelticNiamh]

Erm.... where the hell is everyone?!

Called my midwife this morning and she got me a scan which was all fine, can't see a reason for the spotting

x x x

Delighted all is ok SBB I was thinking of you

 

[nevertogether]

i'm here!

sbb - so glad the scan went well and nothing bad showed up

celtic - how are you?

quick q - my temps have been very stable this month. i haven't taken them every day. been trying to relax here and there - giving myself a little TTC break. but every time i have taken them they are the same thing. i know it's not my thermometer (even though i do have a new one on order) because it does give me different readings when i checked to see if it was bad. i've ready stable temps mean steady hormones. is this true? is that a good thing?

 

[Linny]

YEY SBB!!! I'm so glad all was ok! Wow your midwife is very good to get you in for a scan so quick. Ive had three appts with THREE different midwifes......I'm yet to meet mine

I would use it as an excuse to put your feet up for the day and get pampered

:wave: never! I'm rubbish at temps hun, SBB is the best one. Great avatar

 

[SBB]

Thanks Celtic and never and linny

Yep never I think that stable temps are good, really up and down charts can be an imbalance of hormones so looks good to me! That's based on my VERY limited knowledge of temps in relation to hormones!

[Linny]

[SBB]

Kell I stalked you earlier but forgot to post as I said I'm not predicting your O any more but it's looking good!

[mrbojangles]

Hi

Without trawling through the whole thread can anyone offer advice about pro's and con's of taking Maca? Also what to buy and where from in Uk......

Many thanks xxx

 

[kelster823]

chello Dandy... hmm so it has been awhile since you have been to Vegas.... give a shout out when you get there to one of my best friends Donna who lives there

yeah I know I shouldn't allow my sister to bug me in that way but this girl is TRULY unbelievable

oh the stories I could tell you and she had the balls to ask me for a $500.00 advance on her paycheck for next Friday.... she has no bank account her checks get deposited into my account so I KNOW I am getting the money for her car payments that are directly taking out of my bank account.. umm YEAH NO chicka sorry uuutttt ahhhhhhhhh.. maybe you shouldn't have a personal trainer for you and your daughter or buying Ed Hardy shirts at $150.00 a pop..... AND she lives with my mom and pays IF SHE pays maybe $300.00 rent................ that is covering her, my niece and my nephew.that doesn't even cover the grocery bill my mom buys each WEEK....

UGH SORRY FOR THE RANT

and this pees me off too

I want to buy some of the clearblue conception indicater tests...they don't sell them here in the States.. Just the pregnant not pregnant ones... CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[nevertogether]

kelster - i got a set of those off ebay for pretty cheap last cycle. wanted to have them just in case i got a now just saving them for a special occasion. maybe you can take a look on there? sorry to hear about your sister. really stinks she can't make more of herself. it's hard to get yourself out of that rut, but it's possible. i'm living proof as i'm sure many of you and many other people are as well. so can't have too much sympathy for her! hope she gets her head on straight.

dandy - good luck at your appointment next week. glad to hear you are relaxing, but still am very hopeful that the will arrive soon for your peace of mind.

hope everyone is well. nothing new on this end. booking my tickets to pristina, kosovo either tomorrow or this weekend for my visit to see DH. nothing is set in stone. so even if we do go to kosovo, there is no guarantee that i will see my husband. that's the army for ya. i know you know the deal kel! his unit has pulled strings here and there for us before though so i'm hoping they stay right on track with that.

sbb/celtic/linny - thanks for the help on the temps. sure wish i had a shot this cycle, but what can ya do! FX'ed for a NEXY cycle try!

to everyone

mrbo - sbb or another one of the UK gals should be able to help you out. i can't remember the site they always give to me.

 

[kelster823]

thanks babe I will do that

sorry I forgot to mention in my previous post

YAY YAY YAY on Sept to see DH..... relax this time and enjoy... it WILL WORK OUT..

 

[nevertogether]

added a little more to my message about your sis i'm trying not to celebrate too much about september since i just don't know.

where i got mine kelster. a little expensive for us american dollar gals. maybe one of our UK maca girls has a secret hehe.

 

[SBB]

Kell your sis sounds like a nightmare!!!

Those conception tests are crap! Great for confirming you're pregnant but the amount of threads in 1st tri about people panicking because the weeks bit hasn't gone up... I don't think it's worth the stress!!

But if you really want some an ebayer will send them. Or I could go buy you some and send them!! Let me know I don't mind honestly... You have to pay though they're not cheap

Never so will you be in your fertile period for your visit?? Woohoo!!!!!

Mrbojangles what are you wanting to take maca for? It generally helps balance hormones. Just make sure you get organic and prob go for capsules as they're easier and the powder tastes awful apparently. I got mine from www.creative-nature.co.uk but amazon also sell them...

[kelster823]

dammit I did a search and nothing came up Never

what did you type in?

 

[nevertogether]

sbb - i will be pretty close to it, most definitely. but that will depend on when i ovulate this cycle. last cycle was a little off at CD18, so i'm curious to see where this cycle falls. i did go to the ovulation calender though and put in my information to see.

ovulation on CD16 i will ovulate on Sept 2, 2010
ovulation on CD17 i will ovulate on Sept 3, 2010
ovulation on CD18 i will ovulate on Sept 4, 2010.

but, like i said, it will take this month's cycle to really determine if it will fall on those days or not. my trip is sept 3 - sept 6 and i don't know what days of it i will get to see DH so everything is pretty much up in the air. but i am definitely RIGHT around my fertile period for sure.

you know what's funny. i got a reading from sandra gibbs in may. she said conception on 5 sept. i quickly wrote it off because i knew i wouldn't see DH until november and that's just not possible. but now, now it seems extremely possible and the fact she was VERY close to the time i ovulate. that is just REALLY creepy. of course, i'm not putting all my faith into that, that would be dumb, but the coincidence makes it hard to ignore! i wasn't even thinking about the reading when i was planning the trip. i just knew this four day holiday was too soon for us to save money, so the next in september would be the best. and then i thought about the reading and was !
