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

the picture isn't the best! the varnish is too shiny to see the detail on them, but you get the idea!

 

[LilLeafyLea]

Err... they are flamin' amazing! The varnish finishes them off perfectly! I love them all but the Reindeer and the hearts are adorable! Your tree will look fab! They're making me peckish for cookies now!

If you have a look at page 13 of this thread it'll give you more info on RJ (It's about halfway down the page). It won't counteract the benefits of your usual honey intake as it's another substance all together. It's secreted from the glands of worker bees and is used to promote healthy egg production amongst other fab benefits. There's also some info on EPO.

Holland and Barrett have started their crazy 'buy one get one for a penny sale' again. It may be worth taking advantage of this after you've done your research on what you'd like to try, if anything.

I'll pick some up tomorrow and give it a bash, thank you

 

[LilLeafyLea]

No worries I really hope you get some positive results from it. A word of warning though, the ones from Holland and Barrett are the size of suppositories! If you're ok with big capsules you'll be fine but if not, you can open them and add the powder to a cold (never warm/hot) drink.

 

[foquita]

me too, if I only ovulate every 4 and a half years at least the egg will be a big meaty, juicy one after all the RJ

 

[LilLeafyLea]

Hilarious images of GM monster eggs pummelling the lil spermies into submission spring to mind! It's a case of whatever has worked for others - I'll gladly try atm! GL with it x

 

[MrsFX]

Foquita: those decorations look fab. I'm going to try to make a 'merry christmas' to hang in front of the fireplace. Good idea re: royal jelly.

SA results take a week. They will probably tell ur gp and you can call them.

 

[firstbaby25]

Foquita they are amazing! Could you PM me a recipe? So that when the finances pick up I can make it? Yeah well you can obsess on here. I just think that with such long cycles I'd want an idea what was happening. Read up on Luteal Phase and you'll realise that it's unlikely that is holding up your cycles - more likely O that holds up the cycle. Although I am not a doctor!!

I'll add you all now

Mrsfx - I guess I am like that because my OH reacted badly to me being obsessed with TTC and at first I TTC in secret, did the temp and the OPK on my own but that was the straw that broke the came's back, then I gave up and we got pregnant. So I realised all the stuff we do to 'help' was the by the by AND that I am in no rush, I want a baby so bad but I have fertile years ahead of me still. Now we have a happy medium!

I had something to say to Leafy but it's took me so long to type this out that I have forgotten

that's my chart - but now that I have been temping this cycle and have the best chances that I ever had with the before O - I have put it in my signature I hope that you lot are prepared for me to prattle on about my chart and stuff!!

thank you it's two cups plain flour, one cup table salt and a cup of water et voila! cheap and cheerful

i'm going to get OPKs when i get paid now, and give them a shot...what's the worst that can happen i'm CD36 now so if my cycle is 56 days like the last one i only have 20 days to go hopefully it is a bit shorter though! i had EWCM and cramps on CD32, so i am kinda hoping that might have been ovuation. only time will tell though, we'll see if AF arrives in a week.

 

[MrsFX]

What a lovely ovulation dip u have Jayne!!! It looks like a good chart and u've had enough bd time. I hope to see another implantation dip soon.

 

[firstbaby25]

Thanks mrsfx - I am very hopeful this is the most that we have ever tried.

Now that my OH is on board with TTC if I'm not pregnant this cycle then I am going to get bloods done because my cycles have varied so much in length and I sometimes randomly spot (I get excited it's IB too :sad2). I am also going to get him to take zinc and selenium as well as multi-vits for a few months see if that helps me get a before Christmas naively, I wanted a last Christmas

 

[MrsFX]

Me too. I have the the Xmas bfp craving. I hope that my fert appointment on 19 th dec will help make Xmas easier. Just keep thinking 'this time next year I'll be Pregnant' it's easier than waiting on milestones like Xmas.

Getting some investigations done is a good idea. Although ur young if there is a problem best to get help now.

I wish I could temp. I have 2 naughty kittens who wake me up frequently in the night and early morning. Boooooo

 

[firstbaby25]

I tried to look at your chart and seen it was empty .

Well that's it, I'll be happy if my doc says it's nothing to worry about I won't 'push' it for a while! I googled and cancer and all sorts came up as a reason
I hope the FS goes good for you for a 2012

 

[LilLeafyLea]

Pola, Sorry, I completely missed your post about the falling out with Dh. Hope everything is ok with you now missy? Whatever your Dh did must have been big and I hope you two have managed to resolve things. If you ever need us we're here for you x

Mrs, thanks for the info, a week isn't bad at all. Hope things are OK with you, meant to ask how your lil kitties were getting on. I had a cat a couple of years ago (who sadly passed away), all he did was sleep! Hope yours don't keep you up at night for too much longer!

Jaynie, I agree with Mrs, that is a lovely ov dip and nice steady temp rise thereafter. Lets hope they stay up!

I would love an Xmas baby but if I could be guaranteed a BFP before I hit my 2year mark (Feb) I would be overjoyed! So I'm trying not to put any pressure on atm and plus would definitely be nice to enjoy a few drinkiepoos this year, I've certainly earned it! If I keep thinking I won't be pregnant by xmas, maybe I will!

Foquita, in homage to your photo, I take my hat off to you! Any woman who can go 32 days and wait for another 20 odd days for a result is a very patient lady! Hope the time flies by for you and af doesn't make an appearance after all!

Naneth and Jehovas, hope you ladies are both ok, haven't heard from you in a while? x

1 day to go until D-Day for us! Oh is positively in pain going a whole week without any 'release'. He thinks he has it hard (no pun intended there!)! What a joke! Af is due on Sunday and I had a day of pink tinged cm yesterday so I think she'll be on her way bang on time. It could possibly be IB but I refuse to raise my hopes this cycle!

 

[foquita]

me too, I did a test this morning just in case and it was BFN (as I thought!)

I'm feeling quite miserable today, I know I've only been trying for 6 months but I feel like i haven't even had a chance yet there is just so little chance of it happening

I'm on my way to visit my friend in Brighton for a few days so hopefully that'll cheer me up!

hope everyone is well

 

[MrsFX]

Foquita I'm sorry about the. Bfn. It doesn't matter how long it takes if it feels too long then it matters.

Leaf good luck tomorrow. The pinky cm is a positive sign. Im sure u'll get a feeling about It as the week progresses.

I had a shooting pain last night when I woke up because of the cuddly kittens. Who knows.

Afm. We haven't continued with bding this week. No action since Sunday too shattered. Work is a bit stressy. Had hoped to be on mat leave by now!!

 

[Naneth.Estel]

Hi, I'm still here.

We got our results back today. OH wasn't too bad, his sample was smaller than they really needed (less than 2ml) but he had 189million swimmers. His motility was 30% but the doctor said that with the quantity she wasn't too worried at the moment because they still need to know my exact figures before referral (and it would need to be repeated then anyway).

My results were all fine, apart from the CD21 progesterone test - which wasn't there at all! The lab hadn't done it! That's the second time I've had a problem with the test, so I've got to wait for the witch to show, work out when CD21 is and then book it again. Once the doctor's got that, because it'll have been two years of definite trying by that point, she'll get us referred.

But she kept looking at me and saying 'hopefully it won't come to that' like she knew something I don't. So hopefully we won't get a visit from the witch this cycle and the next time I see her she'll be organising pregnancy stuff instead of TTC stuff.

 

[LilLeafyLea]

Foquita, you certainly deserve a break away. Spending time with mates is the perfect remedy. Hope you have a lovely time. Sorry about your BFN but it may well be too soon so it's prob best to wait a few weeks for af.

Mrs, Who'd have thought that we would ever welcome pain upon ourselves! That's very ominous news! It may either be a great sign or one of your little kitty's digging their claws in! I'm plumping for the former - keep us updated!

I am very happy for my BD breather. Feels like we've had enough to last a lifetime lol! Oh may disagree with that and he will certainly be engaging in the familiar subtle signs that he'd like some tomorrow. That is out and out begging!

Naneth great to see you back with some fab news too! 189million from under 2ml? I'm no sperm expert but I'm sure that's well above average! It never ceases to amaze me how many of those swimmers can occupy a tiny amount of semen! Hopefully the motility will increase a good deal with the next SA.

I don't think there has been one person I've discussed starting the fertility treatment journey with who hasn't experienced a mistake along the way! At least they haven't given you someone else's results like the letter my oh received a few days ago. It came from our GP, the envelope was addressed to him but the letter inside was addressed and meant for someone else! It's ridiculous.

Fingers crossed that it doesn't have to come to the referral and I really hope you do get your BFP this cycle, but if the doctor knew something surely she would tell you? Either way, it's certainly looking like you're well on your way to a BFP! x

 

[HisGrace]

Hi all! :wave: I'm still around. I'm just trying to relax this cycle and not symptom spot so I've haven't been posting much. I was telling DH yesterday how hard it is to relax when you keep thinking every little twinge could be your fertilized egg burrowing into your uterine lining or your uterus stretching or something related to pregnancy. LOL. AF is due on Sunday and I hope she goes on a nice 9 month vacation.
