Phew dance lucky you realised you deleted yourself !!! What would we do without you xx

I so want to be a poppy seed I'm having doubts that it will ever happen why does AF coming have to bring with it an emotional rollercoster ! Few days of weepiness then back to positivity

 

[Oasis717]

Definitely could not be without Lisa that's for sure!!! Xxxx
It will happen Regina, I know how hard it is, try to stay positive, we are all proof that it most definitely is possible and it will be all of us at one point, when I lost two babies one after the other I never thought I'd be where I am now, anything's possible, don't loose hope hunni, we are always here for you no matter what xxxxxxx

Didn't even realise I'd gone, just wandered why no one had posted all day!

Anyway I know now you feel, Af comes along and you have a little cry, but within a couple of days you're looking forward to next OV!

What we have to remember is at our age these things take longer, I was told last year he average for our age is 6-9 months!

Although when we tried again in December it happens first time.

I had been having acupuncture and reckoned that may have helped.

Out of interest how old is your other half as this can have a bearing on things as well!

Well the OH just turned 40 . I'm being silly really as we are only trying 3 cycles since the mc ..... It took us 6 months of ntnp for our first BFP . 3 cycles is nothing in the bigger scheme of things . Don't mind me tis just my hormones talking .

Tested again today another bfn ..... Just waiting for AF to come , for once I wish she would hurry up get here

Hope everyone has a lovely day

Sorry af is on way.

We found that DTD every day before OV didn't work, it did in the past for the other 3 but not this time. DH is 43 so I think he needed a bit more of a rest, quality not quantity !

Therefore we DTD every other day but then DTD day before OV day of OV and say after. Also not to leave more than a few days between DTD as sperm lose quality too!

My be worth trying DTD every other day

 

[crazymam]

Welcome kat and good luck ! xxx

I agree with lisa, my OH is 43 and this time we dtd every other day and it seemed to work, whereas we never took a break before , it also makes for better quality sperm too which is just as important x

Hi Ladies, hope you are all having a good weekend despite the weather. Rain here.

Regina - it's awful waiting I know. You just want to know one way or another but its not over yet hun. DTD every other day seems to make sense. Mind you, I am hoping that the 4 days that DH is away, his little fellas are building up their strength for the 4 days being at home

Bash - Good news with the happy faces, are you going to chart and do temps? Fertility Friends is a good site. FX for you. Keep us updated on how you get on at the docs x

Crazy - How you feeling? 13 weeks now eh?

Hi Kat - welcome to this lucky thread. Good luck to you hun x

Becks - thanks, I know all you lovely ladies are behind us that are ttc and hopefully those positive vibes will bring results soon x

Lisa - can't believe you unsubscribed lol. Blimey what would we do without you?? We'd be lost. You sound like it is a constant round of checking levels and being a pin cushion, bless ya.

Karen - how are you feeling? I love that saying from Fern Brittan, so true. The scan pic is great.

Fiona - love the pics of the sticks. I don't think you can help looking when you go to the toilet, after what we've all been through. Has it sunk in yet?

AFM - DH gone back again today so sat in stuffing my face with tangy haribo's, nearly ate whole packet. Looking forward to OV time, hate this first part of cycle, then you are on tenterhooks on OV time and then even more so in TWW. Come on ladies - who's next??????

 

[Left wonderin]

Maybe it will be you Josie

Regina, looking at your chart, looks like you have 14 day LP, Therefore Af should start today!

Jo, everything crossed for this month for you. Keeps taking the b6 as it shouldn't hurt. My doc said tou could just take it when you OV , but I wanted to keep taking it to make sure it worked!

My acupuncturist suggested a couple of things in my diet which can help increase your blood quality, so better blood going to your ovaries.

He suggested to eat at least 2 eggs every day, although once I was pg hosp said 7 a week should be the limit, but I was eating 2 a day.

He also said to eat full fat butter, Kerry gold in particular as it is from grass fed cows. Also full fat cheese. Skimmed milk is ok.

Spinach, kale and broccoli are very good as well.

Also a good piece of steak not too over cooked.

I did all of this. DH was sceptical, he reckoned the acupuncturist was a chubby chaser and was fattening me up!

I was prepared to try anything!
