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

[StephieB]

Oh a quick edit. Just got my +OPK so will be pouncing on OH as soon as he walks in from work! fingers crossed

 

[LilLeafyLea]

Hi ladies, nice to see such so many positive posts! They're really helping to keep my spirits up this cycle so thanks! Welcome StephieB, I hope this cycle normalises for you and all goes well with your first appointment! Also congrats on the OPK! Apart from the honeymoon period when Oh and I first got together I don't think I've ever had so much BDing lol!

NotNic, loving the PMA method this month. Fxd you get a positive OPK soon

There's a great sale on at Holland and Barrett at the moment on selected items. Buy one and get one for a penny. Anyone taking advantage of the offer? I'm thinking of either getting some Royal Jelly (which increases the quality of your eggs and reproductive organs) or Agnus Cactus which increases progesterone, and also eases PMS. I've read that AC also regulates AF but I'm concerned as I have a regular cycle, so will taking it throw my cycles out?

I like your thrifty thinking Leafy. I've heard evening primrose oil is good for cm.

I would be unsure of AC also. I tried soy once (known as natures clomid) but it lengthened my cycle by a day and caused me lots of raised hopes and heart ache.
I think I might go for EPO and Royal jelly

I am feeling very confused at the mo. Sore nips and waking up starving hungry. Trying to be positive but imagine seeing 2 lines on test. Just 3 sleeps until the fertility clinic and they can test me there.

Hi MrsFX, I've been taking the EPO since my last cycle and did see a marked improvement in cm so I'm continuing with that this month. I think I'll go for the Royal Jelly too, thanks for the link!

Your symptoms definitely sound promising, let us know the outcome! Do you usually get sore nips pre AF? I have them for about a week and they subside a few days into AF so it's not a very concrete symptom for me.

Welcome StephieB, I hope this cycle normalises for you and all goes well with your first appointment! Also congrats on the OPK!

Thank you 1DPO and counting. Dreaded TWW

 

[MrsFX]

I will try EPO next cycle, if I need to Leafy. I have had sore bbs in my time but not nips. Trying not to hang all hope on that tho. I also have the mother of all pmt! Very grumpy with DH. Poor man!

 

[LilLeafyLea]

They put up with a lot but we're worth it! You only need to start worrying when you can't discern the difference between pmt and a what you perceive to be a good day! Which is me most of the time! I didn't realise that Royal Jelly regulates your hormones also so that may help you. I hope you won't need to take anything at all though!

 

[besty]

Count me in AF due 15th sept. This is my first month TTC im just using the pillow and trying to be relaxed hope we get lots of BFP this month girls

 

[LilLeafyLea]

A warm welcome to you besty, hope that the first month is the lucky one for you! I've added you to the list, thanks for your info

 

[katherinegrey]

Hello! Awesome thread! I'm testing sept 16th and I'm using opk's, bbt, EPO and agnus castus upto ovulation, then flaxseed oil after, and green tea during ovulation when I get my pos opk! PHEW! So everything basically!!!

 

[LilLeafyLea]

Hi Katherine, thanks! Looks like you have all bases covered! Wishing you the very best this cycle hun, I've added you to the list, thanks for posting!

 

[katherinegrey]

Thanks for adding me here's hoping!! I'd dance naked at midnight if I read it could help I'm such a sucker... haha

 

[LilLeafyLea]

Ooo sounds like a great thread there! 'Things you would do for a BFP' lol! I'd rub chillis in my eyes and swap washing powder with itching powder! Hmm...We're not right are we?!

So what are the benefits of flaxseed oil if you don't mind me asking?

 

[katherinegrey]

haha! You're so right! I would try and execute the whole karma sutra by moonlight in the garden if it was a cert to end up with a bfp!! haha!

Flaxseed apparently helps with baby development and can help implantation and improve your luteal phase apparently

 

[LilLeafyLea]

Hehe! You'd either end up with a BFP or a fine for lewd behaviour! Good times!

Oo thanks for the info , may add that to the shopping list next cycle!
