Wishing for a Christmas baby

[reedsgirl1138]

Mel WOW! that's alot of pills. lol. And I was only thinking of doing temps and smep. Lets see what Kissy says and I might follow your lead. I don't see what it can hurt and we can compare notes and see how the month turns out!! April will be our month ladies!! All of us! PMA PMA PMA oh and pills and lots and lots of bd with our behinds in the air for 30mins after!! LOL

 

[kissyfacelala]

wow Mel!! you go girl! I am very impressed and I agree with all your "potions" but I am not a doctor by any means...I did take pharmaceutical courses but I agree with caro...this plan should be cleared with your doctor...but thank-you for your confidence in my opinion and I do not mind at all!!!

I have considered talking all of those vitamins myself....in fact I have primrose oil in my bathroom waiting for first day of AF...has anyone seen her? I think she got lost...hopefully she will get accomodation somewhere except our homes....I will only accept her this month!

now seriously, your plan is very natural....i think it is great...the cough syrup could have some chemicals but the key is to get the ones like you said without the decongestants or antihistamines

only thing that is chemical is the baby aspirin...but many people take that daily to lower cholesterol so nothing wrong with that...here is what I found...

Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) ie.aspirin should not be used by anyone who:

is allergic to ASA or to any of the ingredients of the medication
is in their last trimester of pregnancy
is prone to bleeding
is using methotrexate at doses of 15 mg or more per week
has an active peptic ulcer
has had a severe allergic or asthmatic reaction caused by salicylates, ASA or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs; e.g., diclofenac, ibuprofen, indomethacin, naproxen)

so I think you should be ok....and nothing should work against each other...because they are natural ingredients and I have not read anything otherwise but I am not herbalist

right now I am taking....

a prenatal vitamin with folic acid and tons of other vitamins and minerals...
and
FemMEd hormonal balance vitamins and I am waiting for chasteberry vitamins...just to keep my cycles regular and stimulate ovulation...here is a great article.. .https://www.babyhopes.com/articles/vitex.html

here is hoping your recipe works and I may join you! except for vitamin B6 since my LP is 15 days...caro have you thought about vitamin B6??

thanks for reading...it did get long...but I have been doing research as well...

maybe we should rename this thread as TTC with magic pills...

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Good idea Kissy! If we all start taking those pill we could also be known as the "magic pill girls!!" I just know we all are goin to get BFP really soon and will not have to worry about taking anything but prenatal vitamins with folic acid!! PMA

 

[wantingagirl]

Hope you all didnt mind im a copycat too! come on BFP's!

 

[wantingagirl]

yeah I hope it doesnt take us all as long as 12 months, Im willing for it not to take as long this time!

Nah think we have all copied you Caro103, hehe...

Aw Kissy this seems to be happening at the min, my co-worker fell pregnant by mistake grrrr and my sis and my aunty both pregnant!

Hi Cheeky Im fine how are you? Im now in the 2ww oh no lol....

Wow I think I am going to rattle with all that lol.... I take the EPO, softcups, preseed and CBFM but not tried the asprin yet I think if you have EPO and drink lots of water guaifnesin wouldnt be needed but will hold off my decision to see what everyone else has to say. I take daily pregnacare vits which has b6 in it.

hehe kissy and reedsgirl I totally agree. Ok my plan of action is EPO for this month. If this does not work next month EPO, asprin, softcups, CBFM and preseed if not enough EWCM so will see what happens. Phew I will be rattling!!

Hi ladies

Temp dropped again this morning and AF due in 2 days, pretty confident she's going to show on time

Think i'm going to go ahead with my little concoction except for the expectorant.

 

[wantingagirl]

I am so sorry about your temps cheeky but hope she doesnt show! At least you can try your experiment and keep us posted. I shall be trying it too if no luck but dont know about the green tea hate tea and coffee yuck yuck!

 

[cheekybint]

I've resigned myself to the fact that she will show now, my temps are too low for her not to

I'm unsure about the green tea too lol If i have tea it has to be with lots of sugar and some biscuits lol But it's not expensive so i'll get some to try it. Planning on waiting for it to cool down somewhat and then down it in one lol

Although i'm resigned to AF showing, i'm not shopping for any of these goodies until she actually arrives! Would be sods law that i get them all tomorrow and AF doesn't show (or just wishful thinking!)

I will start a post in my journal just for my pill popping antics and keep it updated so everyone can see what's happening, if anything!

 

[wantingagirl]

Well I hope she doesnt.

Yeah I still dont think I could drink it even downing at once I have a right phobia with tea and coffee

PMA is the way to go but at least we have a plan for next month. I will keep an eye on your journal!

 

[kissyfacelala]

hey cheeky...really sorry that your temp dropped again....really hoping AF does not show up for you...

if you end up buying soy isoflavones (I hope you don't) would you please post what you bought...ie size of capsules and how many you would take?? thanks!

I am also gonna start using the soy isoflavones once AF shows...uggh CD51

Here is what I found on soy isoflavones in an old baby and bump thread....loving it...the natural Clomid!!!

Soy works because it inhibits estrogen receptors (just like Clomid) making your body think that it's lacking in estrogen. This perceived lack of estrogen puts you into overtime for producing LH and FSH, both of which are needed for a good, strong ovulation. Anything you might have ever read on how or why Clomid works, the same exact principles apply with Soy Isoflavones. As PH said, it has been shown to cause infertility in animals, and I don't know what effect it would have on humans if taken every day... but taking it for the 5 days per cycle will result (usually) in a quality ovulation 5-10 days after the last dose. The only other difference is that it takes twice as much Soy to equal a Clomid dose... so 50mg of Clomid is 100mg of Soy. I'm taking 120mg, because it's hard to get 100mg when the tabs are 40mg each! LOL

Make sure you use Clomid days... 1-5, 3-7, or 5-9. I would suggest not doing 1-5, as it churns out more eggs, but they aren't nearly as mature. 5-9 gives a few or possibly only 1 egg, but it's at a really good maturity. 3-7 is a happy medium... the most eggs of the best quality. More eggs = more targets for the swimmers.

my chasteberry pills arrived today!! so cheers to our April BFPs!!!

 

[caro103]

Now you guys have got me thinking! hehe
I'm deffo going to be buying some vit B6, it can't hurt, my temps dropping dramatically already this month and i'm only 6DPO! I know not preggo this month as we used protection, but its quite nice to have a cycle charted with knowing I'm not preggers-reminds me what it normally feels like leading up to AF when not symptom spotting! Kissy I hope you AF hasn't got lost via me!!! I've a wedding to go to Sat and do NOT want her visiting then!

Love it that everyones got TTC buddies now!

 

[caro103]

Btw girls, I need to ask what is probably a stupid question, but hey ho.
What is baby aspirin? would you normally give it to babies? or do you just take half a dose of normal aspirin?
Thanks

 

[cheekybint]

Hey caro

Baby aspirin is a low dose aspirin at 75mg. It's available from chemists and i've discovered Asda also sell it too (83p for 28)

I've been pricing everything up today lol

 

[cheekybint]

Okay ladies here's what today has brought!

I'm currently experiencing what can only be discribed as period pains, no AF obviously.

Also it appears I now have blue veins showing on my nipples (well the areola) What's that all about?? I usually start seeing the big thick blue veins in my boobs at this time of the month but NEVER actually on the nipple area.

Currently confused!

 

[caro103]

mm, afraid I have them all the time
but then I'm quite pale skinned.
If its unusual, who knows could be a good sign!? or just that you've really hot nips!

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Hello ladies!! Just wanted to check in with everyone!!

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Hey girls I was just wondering about Hippy. Anyone talked to her? I have been missing her on here

 

[Shey]

nope haven't seen her on here lately.

 

[lime]

hi everyone

how are you all doing ttc? just wondering if any of you are using preseed or concieve plus??

I am currently on pregnacare conception , and was wondering if i could benefit from taking any other supplements along with these??

any feedback would be fab! x

 

[wantingagirl]

wow kissy and everyone else that sounds like a gab plan, I think I would be too scared to take that tho. so it helps you to Ovulate? Im really hoping we all get a BFP!

Yes Caro like you sed at least you know what you are looking out for but with my first I had no symptons at all and every other month I did have symptons I didnt conceive, I actually even vomited at one point and no nothing!

It was hilarious I usually put a pillow under my bum but this time I turned around had my pillow under my bum and my legs against the wall and it seemed to have worked. We went up to bed about 9pm so came back down and have a recliner sofa so pillows again under the arse and legs in the air for about an hour so seemed to work and hardly any leakage at all totally going to use softcups next month tho if not pregnant plz plz plz be pregnant
Im going for the aspririn too and have EPO for next month.

Cheeky whens your AF due?

Reedgirl hey maybe send her a private message. I havent heard from my buddie tinks for a while and Im dying to know if shes pregnant im hoping its good news rather than bad

Hiya Lime - If im not pregnant next month I am using preseed and softcups. I will also be using EPO and baby aspirin, I take pregnacare and my DH takes wellman vits and I used the CBFM. pheww is that all you say
