Roll up, roll up! Statistical chance of at least one BFP! - *15th BFP Announced!*

[Andielina]

Hi Pola, not much going on with me at the moment is in town. Can't wait to get back to the (I always seem to want it more when I can't have it??)! DH is away at the moment so I'm bored. Just learnt how to print my charts off from FF so I can now study them in more detail. I've put them all in plastic wallets in a nice folder to keep them safe, how very sad!

How are you?

thats not sad at all!

Im good, DH and I had an appointment with DR because he got a sperm test... the results came as normal, which is great!

Im still puzzled with the soy I could get in this country... it says 450 mg of soy isolate... I read that soy isolate is the form of soy to eat certain things and digest them, but it never says something about it having soy isoflavones... in the rest of "ingredients" of the supplement facts, those 3 elements are soy isoflavones, but the ammount is in mcg, so if I sum them all, I barely get 3gr of soy iso... so I said to myself what the hell, Im taking one daily on from CD5-9... tomorrow is the last day,... It has given me light headaches... today after I felt pain in my ovaries... would it be working? Also, my chart looks all over the place!! Im confused, but this is the what the hell cycle! Everything is valid! I quit metformin on CD3... it was too much for me... I could barely handle 500mg of the 2000 mgs I should take per day!!!

so who knows whats gonna happen??

As for the rest, things are super... DH invited me to the movies today and we had a blast

Awesome Pola!! I'm glad the test came back normal. I hope this is the cycle for you!! I've got my fx'd for sure!

As for me, I'm 18dpo and STILL NO AF!!!!!!! This has never happened to me. I took a Frer yesterday afternoon and swore there was the FAINTEST line ever, but I wasn't sure, it could've just been an evap. If there's still nothing by Saturday I'm going to test with another frer with fmu.

I hope everyone is doing well and I'm SO hoping for my bfp soon!!!

 

[LilLeafyLea]

Hi girlies! Hope we are all well on the eve of the best day of the week....well it will be come 5! OH is away for the whole weekend - YIPPEE!

Secret, there's no shame in being organised! Alongside FF I've made my own spreadsheet to track my cycles in Excel with colour coded keys (I'm a cheapo and didn't want to pay for the subscription upgrade on FF!).

Hi Pola, not that clued up with soy iso but what is the RDD of it usually? If it isn't the right stuff at least it will keep you regular lol!

Andielina, this could be the start of something beautiful! I'm watching this space and hope to see it filled with a BFP from you soon! xx

*gasps* lets hope its not an evap! Ill have my fingers crossed!!


weird, isnt it, that still AF wouldnt come in case you´re not pregnant... maybe get an appointment with the gyno... a blood test can help you know better!!

Hi all.
Andie that sounds promising. Good luck it would be driving me crazy. Any chance you ovd late?
Leafy 7 dpo hope all is good in the hood.
Pola. I remember taking about 3-4 spy tabs a day the cycle I tried. Give one a try this cycle there are some good groups on bnb about it.
Secret youll be able to share your bfp chart with your child one day. You're making history.

[HisGrace]

Hope everyone is doing well and we will have ton of BFPs soon. DH and I used preseed, soft cups, and OPK for this cycle. I'm believing this is our month!

Hello sweet, my hood is all kindsa good thanks! I think I'm more likely 4, 5dpo. May have been a tad optimistic when creating the ticker! I felt twinges on Sat and O pains on Sunday so not so sure. Yeah feeling good though, trying to ignore all possible symptoms imagined or real (fluttery heart, full blown cold, crazy creamy CM and so on) and I am not testing until I am late! Ironclad promise there ladies! I will pee on porcelain and porcelain only!

How are you medear? You good to go this weekend? It'll be the perfect relaxing environment for you, it's a shame you can't bring a good supply of your DH's swimmers with you for daily top-ups! I'm sure you'll get plenty tomorrow to see you through though!

Jehovas I'm going to add your details now, hope they do the trick for you!

 

[pola17]

Can you add on the things Im doing this cycle: "sunflower seeds"...

I did some research and I found this online:

Eat ¼ cup sunflower seeds daily.

Sunflower seeds are abundant in vitamin E (known as the “fertility” vitamin), a powerful antioxidant that protects delicate omega–3 fatty acids as they enter the cell membrane. ¼ cup has 90% of the daily requirement of vitamin E. Vitamin E also helps the liver degrade excess estrogen in endometriosis.

I discovered this, after DH bought me some lastweek, and I tried them... I loved them, so I googled its properties, and thats what it says... I found the same thing from different sources and in 2 different languages, so this is something...

I may be in CD9, but Im eating them!!!

That sounds really cool!! I moved recently and don't have a doctor around here yet... so I'm going to have to call around and see who's taking new patients. Still no bfp... and still no a/f!!! I've got all kinds of things going on with my body that don't normally happen and don't have anything to do with my PMS symptoms. I just want to know! I have never just missed a period. Ever. And I've never been this late. Never had lady problems... I've always been completely normal. Oh the frustration!

 

[pola17]

Probably stress is not helping!! I hope you can find an appointment a.s.a.p!!

 

[MrsFX]

Hi all,
its been quiet on here this weekend!! I hope everyone is ok. think we're in the TWW now i've been away so hope that the BD on friday eve was enough.

 

[pola17]

Hey!! I was also thinking the same, the weekend was very quiet... probably all of you were busy!

 

[MrsFX]

Hopefully busy making babies!

 

[LilLeafyLea]

Hello meluvlies! Had a majorly busy weekend was expecting to come back to at least another two BFP's! No such luck!

Well I'm nearing completion of my tww. My mammaries have been absolutely killing me for the last two days (due af on Weds). Nips are red, they are mahoosive and just painful...walking, turning over in bed and even looking at them makes them hurt! Ok the latter part is stretching the truth ever so - but you get the general idea! I caved and did an early preg test (up to 5days before missed period early) and big fat smelly no!

Feeling ok though, just want to get af out the way (damn you week long period!) and start again!

Mrs how was your pamper weekend? Hope you are nicely rested!

Pola, hope the sunflower seeds work a treat for you, the benefits sound great!

Hope the rest of you ladies are doing well?
xx

 

[pola17]

Thank you! I dunno if they´re going to help, but at least they taste sooo good!

Not much to report in here... waiting to O

 

[MrsFX]

Leafy those symptoms sound soooo promising I am keeping everything crossed for u to get a BFP and sustain your wonderful attitude.

AFM trying Berocca vitamins, completely unrelated to TTC just to give me a boost and i think it is working. Even if its just a placebo. Had 'period type' pains today for a bit but who knows!!

 

[secrethopeful]

Hello all, not much to report here. AF finished so back on it again. FF let me have a brief trial of the full package. So having printed off the back catalogue whilst I could, I too am setting up excel spreadsheets to do it myself until the next time it lets me have a free VIP trial!

Had a bit of a wobble at the weekend, just frustration over not having a clue what my body is doing and being upset that after 16 months there's still nothing. DH was really supportive. My main problem is that I know there is no point going for tests yet as I know full well we're not BDing enough! The latest round of friends' babies are arriving or being announced (some have just started round 2!). But enough whinging, I'm over it. This is 'no symptom spotting' month, except of course to update my lovely new spreadsheets !

It is sounding promising for you Leafy, yours could be the BFP we're all waiting for!

Pola, are sunflower seeds really yummy? I can't imagine that!

Hope we're all having a nice evening...

 

[LilLeafyLea]

Argh...Just wrote a long response and my internet went down just as I sent it! Here goes again!

Thanks a lot ladies, trying to keep hope alive! If af does come I think it will be a doddle this month. I have no spotting, no cramps, no wild bouts of uncontrollable rage! I think I'll be late this cycle. BFP's only happen to girls in the movies...and just about anyone but me!

Pola, hope your wait is passing by quickly! Not really a fan of plain seeds, I prefer them with a bit of seasoning on them but if it gets you your bfp I'll happily chomp away! Hope you're ok

Mrs I love the Berocca advert! I'd love to recreate the treadmill routine! That's the only reason I'd go to the gym! I'm still waiting to hear how your heavenly weekend went! We need to live vicariously through the pampering treatments!
Hoping that your period type cramps are a positive sign for you! You're CD18 so is it O cramps you're experiencing? It's always nice to get the signs and be able to prepare yourself!

Secret, we all have our wobbly days. I'd be worried if I didn't get them - it means the passion is still there! I agree, it's so frustrating when everyone around you is getting pregnant - I wish I had something more insightful to say on the matter but If I did I would have consoled myself with these thoughts a while back!
It's just great that you have the support and understanding of your DH - where would we be without a shoulder to soak and a big bear hug?! At least you know what you know you need to do going forward. For me I liken sex and cycles to gently pacing for 3 weeks, having the odd skip here and there to jumping on to the previously mentioned treadmill set on supersonic speed franticly humping like mad for a week before returning to the gentle pace again! It's not romantic, it's needs must!
