She showed up last night, just as I was going to bed

Sorry the witch got you hope you enjoyed your choc hun. Good luck with the new supplements this month, Fx'd! PMA all the way!!

 

[Hope4BFP]

Maria & Sam, you two are having VERY strange dreams lol! What's going on with you both, what are your symptoms? Are you gonna test?? It would be soooo great if you get your BFPs this month!!! Keep us posted!

I am waiting to Ov, due this weekend just in time for Valentines, awww! We are trying every other day Bding this month as I think we were going a bit overboard before, 'quality rather than quantity' as they say! Am also sipping away at pink grapefruit juice (I really like it!), not too much, it has taken me 3 days to get through a 1L carton, I'll let you know how I get on.

Bucket loads of for us all this month!!!

not arrived yet, I keep thinking she is here and rushing to loo and nothing. I am eating green and black's dark choc and having a cheeky tiny glass of fizzy rose wine, half alcohol.

I am so convinced she is coming. Really tired all day, and bbs still big, usually af here by now, but she is prob waiting til just b4 bedtime so I am all excited and then bam she will come.

Hey Leilani, glad you sound ok, its such a pain isn't it! Are you a teacher then? Me too, I teach special needs, what do you teach?

Good luck Hope, if just one of us gets a bfp this month, it would make me happy even if af had got me! Sam, maybe its your month!

Wierd dreams continue, very vivid!

Here is to at least one girl on here having a bfp this month, or more than one!

Hi ladies

I'm not symptom spotting this month at all. Mainly because for the first time ever I've not had any!

Saying that today I've had a little bit of discomfort in my lower abdomen and my bbs are tender today.

AF will arrive without a doubt in the next few days. I would be the most surprised person in surprised land on surprised event of the year if she didn't!

Big hugs and to you all

[mazcal]

Sam, I really hope she doesn't turn up for you!

She is cutting it fine with me, still no show, but it will only make it worse when she comes.

Maybe that you have no symptoms is a good thing, but its best to try and not think about it, although that is virtually impossible!!!

If she isn't here by tomorrow morning I may test, I'm almost afraid to though.

Have a good day tomorrow everyone!

Loads of

 

[mazcal]

Even though I am knackered, I am awake with insomnia.

I have just taken a test because I am fed up of wondering. It is completely negative. Hmmmm, better wait and see if AF finally shows then. Prob will tomorrow. Wasted another test.

 

[lola13]

Hoping she doesn't show for you guys. It is brutal waiting for her to show. I don't bother testing anymore...too many disappointing BFN's.

I'm gearing up for another ovulation sexathon. Anyone else worn out by this cycle? BDing just isn't what it used to be. Too much pressure!

 

[Leilani]

Hi ladies - well I'm all stocked up and ready to go this cycle! Got my Soy (will take 150 mg this month), EPO (will double the dose, as I really haven't noticed ever having much EWCM), Folic Acid, Multi-vits (ladies ones without Vit A) and some Strepsils Chesty Cough medicine - I'm going all out to have EWCM this month. Also stocked up on Maca for my bloke, and he's going to get some Menevit (men's fertility multi-vit, it's a bit expensive, but comes highly recommended, and I was checking the ingredients off against DH's normal multi-vit, and he'd need to double his dose + get some other bits, so doesn't work out any more expensive - why do sperms take soooo long to mature - typical bloke!!).

I never got my chocolate, as the shop was closed

I teach high school students, and I'm also the logistics manager, which means I do all the timetabling/rooming/exam organisation/every other job nobody else wants to do, so am always really busy a the start of the year - and glad we've now run through an entire week without any major hiccups!

I've still got the witch busy down here, so don't expect her any time soon Maria or Sam.

What are you BD strategies this cycle Hope4 and Lola?

Lou Lou and Tracey - what are you girls up to?

Oh no Maria. You are not out though until AF shows up. Maybe it's too early for a BFP??

Morning or Evening Leilani!

I had the strangest dreams last night. They involved lots of weird rooms with gardens, animals, a chinese woman licking small rabbits clean, I was in a beauty pagent and a nude bikini! (Nightmare!) Make absolutely no sense whatsoever, the girls at work now think I am completely bonkers.

CD26 for me today and nothing from the this morning. Last night when I went to bed I'd already visited the bathroom and then as I climbed into bed I felt a "flow" so went running back to the bathroom. It was just lots of CM.

If there is no sign of the wicked one I will do a test on Sunday morning. So scared to test though as I too can't stand the sight of . I've never had a and don't know what I would do if I ever got one. There would probably be news reports of people hearing screams of excitement!

Hello everyone,
Someone mentioned this thread in the TTC section, I had never seen it!!
I'm 39 and will start trying this month. I got married, gosh! 8 years ago and I never wanted kids and neither did my husband.
But this summer something changed, I cannot explain what, talked to a friend of mine (38) who got pregnant very easily and I thought 'maybe it's not too late for me', and now I can't even understand why I never wanted kids in the past, very strange...
My husband was shocked and very surprised to hear I wanted a baby, it's been a few months of fighting and talking about it and what can I tell you.. he's finally given in and we'll start trying at the end of Feb, when we'll be going away on holiday.
We've both been taking Pregnacare conception for 3 months, I've been taking Primrose Oil for years since it totally helps with my period headaches, so I'll keep on taking them only that now up to ovulation. I've started going to Yoga and also doing Fertility Yoga poses at home and I'm thinking of going to Reflexology once a week. Do I sound obsessed or what..!!
We've both taken Fertility tests that are used by the NHS and got positive results.
Will let you know how it goes...
B.

Hey thanks Sam still no show. I keep thinking of my friend who had two negatives, and then two weeks after missed period had positive and it was twins. Maybe too early, but maybe after the pill I am not going to have a solid 28 day cycle? Hope she stays away from you this week! I am the same, can't imagine seeing a positive!
I have the same symptoms as you, been running to loo feeling like its started and cm? Also bbs are giving me jip, my OH is not allowed near them at the mo!

Hi Barbarap, welcome! Its funny how once you allow yourself to want a baby at our age (me 37) suddenly you just can't wait for it to happen!

Here is some more as you can never have enough!

 

[mazcal]

Sam, you having wierd dreams there! xxx

 

[Lisa1]

I missed O this month to being away although with my PM I am hpking the spermies held on tight at least if I do get preggers it will be a girl

Trying to catch up with the thread and was hoping someone would have a surprise so whos next for testing?

 

[Beanhopes]

Hey Lisa

So good to have you back. Hope you didn't get too stressed being away.

I think Maria is due to test again as she has had a no-show from the .

The wicked is busy with Leilani - boo hiss. Leilani is armed and dangerous this month with all maner of lotions and potions ready to get that eggy.

I will be testing on Sunday if she doesn't visit me

Big hugs and welcome home. xx

Woohoo. I like the sound of your friend's results. Come on we need a or 10. xx

 

[mazcal]

Hi Lisa welcome back! You are on the 2ww now then.

Sam is waiting for her af to not show and so am I. I only had one cycle after coming off the pill, af came 29th day, so if I base cycle on one month, technically one day late, with neg test last night. Maybe my periods are returning to the random 28 to 35 day cycle they were b4 pill, but I was sure I ovulated 2 weeks ago? Its making us all a bit crazy this business!

I am not gonna test til at least sunday now.

Leilani, about to start having fun soon, with all your potions. I am in awe of anyone who teaches high school, it would be my idea of hell!

Lisa, who knows, it could be you this month!

Hope Ella is doing ok.

It was a hectic five days am glad to be home and yes I hadn't even thought I am in the 2ww looking for a miracle this month lol.

come on girls start the rolling. Has anyone heard from ella? hope she is ok

 

[Beanhopes]

I've not heard from Ella but I've been thinking about her lots. I thought I might private message her but didn't want to get on her nerves. I think she'll come back when/if she's ready. I just wish I could make her feel better. She made me realise I wasn't alone in the over 35's before this thread started and I miss her.
