Wishing for a Christmas baby

[cheekybint]

Shona , i was taking 3000mg so 1500mg is fine, good job you didn't take anything higher if it's been giving you such bad headaches. I had a few too, but nothing that wasn't manageable

Morning Sandi! Sorry you think AF is on it's way Hope it's not!!!

Very sorry to hear about your daughter's teacher, how sad Hope she gets through the funeral okay (well as okay as can be expected in the circumstances)

Good morning ladies! The shower was ok and I did get some ideas for my baby shower one day....I just focused on the spying so I would not be sad that someone else is pregnant and not us....

So sorry AF is on the way for you Sandi and Sarah....but until AF arrives there is always hope!

Ovulation is imminent!!!! got a slight positive OPK last night and my CM is fertile...just don't have the EWCM yet...

I do not know if I mentioned yet but when I went for my PAP smear in the fall, my doctor said I have a tilted uterus / cervix....I have read that this does not affect my chances of conceiving but I am wondering if it makes it harder to see if I have EWCM...

what do you ladies think?

It seems Caro, Shona and I are very close in cycles.. I hope my 2 ww wait starts within the next two days or so....if I get my BFP I would be able to tell my mom on Mother's Day that I am pregnant! So wishing for my BFP!!! My mom desperately wants to be a grandma!!

Just finishing work, haven't had time to read all your posts as my OH has been complaining about how much time i'm on BnB at work LOL!

Anyway, instead i was on Fertility Friend...

I've been playing with the next few days temperature and if it stays the same or increases FF is going to say my chart is Triphasic with possible implantation on CD22!!

Now i'm nervous about testing and definitely will NOT be testing today lol

 

[kissyfacelala]

Yipee! Cheers to Mel! I knew you were pregnant. I just have this positive feeling about you!!

Can't wait for your BFP posting!!

 

[cheekybint]

It's not a definite but it's looking really hopeful. which has had a terrible effect on my PMA now

I really don't want to get my hopes up

 

[caro103]

Your chart looks amazing Mel! fingers crossed it just keeps rising!

Monica-not sure about the tilted uterus thing, have heard it doesn't affect chances of BFP too though so thats good.

Sorry Sandi and Sarah, but like Monica says its not over until AF shows!

Shona, sorry about the headaches, I took 2000mg and have to say apart from increasing my CM I was lucky enough for them not to affect me. Hopefully they'll have done the trick though and you won't have to take them again!

Well...mm...I'm confused. Took my temp this morning and it was 97.45-but I woke up with a very dry mouth so reckon it wasn't accurate. Especially as my CM has dried up now and I feel like I normally do a few days post Ov. So I took it again a bit later and was 98.16 which is higher than my mormal resting temps and ff then says 3dpo, so going with that, but will keep my eye out for any other signs.

Only other thing I can think is I've noticed I have a fallback cycle, usually about 4dpo so maybe one of my temps wasnt accurate last wk. who knows! any thoughts?

 

[reedsgirl1138]

YAY Mel!! I hope your temps stay up for you!!

Kissy I hear some woman do not get ewcm...I don't think I ever get anything that I would call that to be honest but I can tell you it is abundunt and there is lots of cm when I get my positive opk..

ASfm...I have lost all PMA. I know I am not out til the witch actually arrives but I am pretty sure she is on the way. I have the appt with the FS tomorrow and I was hoping to get to cancel it but I will keep praying and hope that I will wake up tomorrow and feel better about my situation.

 

[reedsgirl1138]

hey caro looks like we posted at the same time I wish I knew the answers for you on temps but I am horrible at taking my own. I keep trying but ugh I really think my bbt is broken cause it only holds the first temp I ever took with it..97.70. And I know that was not the temp I had yesterday cause I wrote it down and it was 97.78 so I don't know. I forgot to take it this morning so who knows...

 

[caro103]

Hey Sandi, hopefully the FS will have some answers for you hun! and you never know it might be fab news

The temps thing doesn't add up at all for me this month, think all the pills have had an effect. Also I'm pretty rubbish at remembering the instant I wake so there is a good chance some aren't all the accurate! thats why going by CM this month for Ov. They usually give me a clue when AF is on the way though as I get a drop. But then the B6 might affect that this month! arrrr, wish I'd done OPks!

Oooh Mel can't wait for you to test! xx

 

[cheekybint]

Evening ladies

I'm now not feeling good about this month at all, I shouldn't have played with FF really because if my temp goes down again tomorrow i'll be devastated

Hope yours continues to rise though Carol so you know you've had your O

Sorry you're full on PMA Sandi It's always the same isn't it, first week we're all full of it but by the 2nd it's pretty much all gone. I really hope you get some good news tomorrow

Well my ICs didn't turn up today so I couldn't test even if i wanted to. If they come tomorrow i will definitely test just to put my mind at rest one way or the other

Gosh i really really hope this is it, i could cry i'm that nervous

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Mel I have probably cried enough for both of us today. I know right coming off O time I am always so sure this is the month and by time its time to test I am so unsure of myself and just feel like crap to be honest.

Girls thank you so much for being so supportive!!

 

[kissyfacelala]

BIG HUGS to you Mel! Don't worry and relax! easier said than done but what will be will be!


I still think you are pregnant! remember two eggs! it doubled your chances!! PMA

 

[kissyfacelala]

Sandi! don't cry! Crying gives you wrinkles! I know this is hard...I keep freaking myself out this month...almost at ovulation but keep thinking what if I don't ovulate again!!

My OPK was slightly positive and my CM is fertile but not the EWCM

Well good that some women don't get EWCM! Maybe I am one of them...going by temp and my OPk as well.

Today I had wierd symptom...Really stuffy and runny nose at the same...left was stuffy and right was runny...could that be the EPO? giving me abundant mucous everywhere? sorry if TMI....

Carol, temping is hard....I am just lucky that I wake up at the same time everyday....so I would not worry...

 

[reedsgirl1138]

LOL Thanks for the laugh Kissy I needed it. The things I torture myself with and how a comment like that can lighten my heart. Thanks

 

[cheekybint]

Lol kissy if it's giving you mucus up there you'd better lower your dose!

Glad you smiled Sandi, I know I keep saying it but we are all here for you We will get there!

Well on a more positive note, I read an article on Soya and it showed that 70% of all women who were taking it fell pregnant in their first month of using it. So if that's the case we should be getting some BFPs between us!

 

[kissyfacelala]

I think it is just a coincidence! and I am over analysing everything! I was just thinking maybe EPO gives a runny nose....

I am taking 3000 mg of EPO a day which is what it says on the bottle and I read on some website to take 3000 mg.....

Sandi...glad to make you smile!

 

[cheekybint]

Yeah i was taking 3000mg too, no runny nose for me lol

 

[wantingagirl]

Thank you Sandi, he is pretty. Oh my gosh what happened to the teacher? I hope the hag stays away or else!!!

Oh I might give it up Mel if it carries on as non stop migraine since day 1 of cycle but Im intrigued to keep going to see if any difference oh the things we do lol.....

Aww Monica I hope you get your BFP too, when is your mothers day? Ours was a while ago over here. Yes we are vey close in cycles so can go insane in the 2ww together hehe Im getting impatient and want to ovulate soon

haha thats funny Mel. I hope this is it and at least some of us get BFP but hoping all

Monica I have heard that instead of pillow under your bum you have to lay on your tummy instead and have pillow under hips and tummy with legs in the air. Also there is a very not nice position that is the best for that. My sis has a tilted uterus and got pregnant no problem

Ugh Carol the headaches are so severe but trying to bear with it if it works, may just switch to preseed next month

I have heard that ewcm can still exist up there even if you dont see it.

I havent been taken Soya Mel how much do you take and what does it do?

 

[cheekybint]

Hi wantingagirl how's your head??

I (along with Sandi, Monica and Caro) have been taking Soya Isoflavones this cycle. It's natures answer to Clomid, and you take it in exactly the same way. I took it for 5 days at the beginning of my cycle and my FS confirmed 2 dominant follicles this month, both of which I ovulated

Everyone else seems to be having positive ovulation results from it too

Hopefully it's going to lead to some BFPs aswell


Edit - Removing the L from Caro's name!!

 

[caro103]

Hey guys, not sure where the Carol has come from but names Caro or Caroline

Shona (hope i remembered that right ), Soya acts a bit like a natural Clomid and you take it the same way. I only took 160mg a day, think Mel took 200mg. It has confused my cycle slightly but think I o'ed eariler. Its also meant to increase the LH so give you a better Ov with a stronger egg!

Wow Mel-70% of people get their BFP with Soy! woohoo! BFP here we come!

Sandi totally see what you mean about PMA the 1st wk and not the 2nd! at the mo mine is somewhere in the middle at the moment! just feel a little uncomfortable today
