[josie1234]

Hi all, pic is so cute Lisa, she is a smiler

Yes definitely a sign Regina lol. OH came home last night so got a few days together which is nice. We were going to see his mum today but not going to now as OH is tired with travelling and she lives an hour and a half away and we can't stay there so have to do it there and back in one day. Will go another time maybe when he is off longer. No updates from me, still no AF and not sure on temps. Will get some Agnus Castus today. No cramps or anything now so maybe another long cycle, hope not! Have a good Easter everyone xx

 

[josie1234]

Tanya - boo at the temp drop. Do you feel like AF is coming?

 

[Soanxious]

Yes Jo try the angus castus.. so many women say its excellent... a midwife I know told me about it, that and dong quai it's supposed to be excellent..xxx

Dong Quai

Benefits of Dong Quai

Dong Quai is one of the most powerful female fertility tonics that exists. It’s traditionally used as a blood tonic, to have a positive effect on circulation. Dong Quai can help jump start periods in women who have absent periods, it can improve menstrual flow in women who have very light periods, and it can help women who experience weak feelings after their periods have passed. It has also been proven to help improve red blood count, and to help with so called “stagnant” conditions such as PCOS, endometriosis, ovarian cysts and fibroids. Studies have also shown that Dong Quai can help with painful periods, short periods, or other menstrual irregularities. As you can see, Dong Quai is a multi faceted herbal remedy, and can have great effects on women!

Other Benefits

Dong Quai has other healing properties aside from fertility benefits too! It can be used by both men and women for a variety of conditions. It has been proven to help boost male and female fertility, improve overall happiness and mental clarity, and help with constipation, headaches and more. It can also help with things like shingles, hepatitis, allergies, anemia, high blood pressure, and even rheumatoid conditions like rheumatoid arthritis! So, Dong Quai can be beneficial to a wide range of people, not just those who need it for fertility purposes.

[Oasis717]

So sorry Tanya im worrying about lack of symptoms myself but i know its early at 12dpo. I had zero symtoms with my bo. So much for pma! Dh said hell get me two more Asda tests later but he thinks testing after gettin 4 positives only causes upset and hes right xx

Been looking on Countdowntopregnancy and feel a bit better. It would seem Asda tests are pretty rubbish and dont get dark until 16/17 dpo. My line is the same as most at 11/12 dpo. Wish id bought more Superdrug tests now lol. Feeling completely normal which is bothering me! Xxx

 

[crysshae]

It's okay to feel normal Becks. Every pregnancy is different, and I had no symptoms of any kind that I can remember during the first trimester with my oldest daughter and our twins. With the boys I felt queasy, and with the youngest, I had a headache every day, but not till some time after my BFP. Can DH pick up super drug tests instead of Asda today?

I get December 27th as due date from your O date...

Tanya - I'm so sorry.

Regina - Definitely a sign!

Jo - Glad DH is home for Easter.

Vi - Sorry. Don't know anything about Provera.

Jenn - How are you?

Tilly - Glad to hear you are doing well. Yay for seeing baby!

I hope everyone else is doing well.

AFM - My temp has remained high for 3 days. And the higher temp today was taken an hour and a half early...

 

[Left wonderin]

Becks I felt completly normal no tiredness , no sore boobs , no sickness until 6.5 weeks ! I mean nothing ! Then one morning I started dry heaving and then one by one all the symptoms appeared .

 

[Soanxious]

I would wait a week and digital test Becks.. Im only going to Digital test AFTER af is due if im late from now on, so no seeing a test fade.. simple yes or no xxx
