[annmariecrisp]

Hi girls,
I am ttc number 1! I would love to buddy up so we can share our stories and symptoms and ups and downs and then hopefully our BFP's!! I am 33 yrs old and have been trying for 10 months, I have unfortunately had 2 mmc's however we are remaining positive and very excited. I am at the moment 8dpo and will be testing on or around the 1st June? (if I can wait that long, lol!) I am new to this section and it would be lovely to be a part of this community and make some new friends xxx Thanks xxx

Hi im 32 and at the same point as you in my cycle 9 dpo and due on 31st may. We have been ttc now for well ages i suppose we was really hoping it would just happen so we have never used any protection in the 6 years we have been together and nothing has happened. So we have now started taking every vitamin possible, my Oh has stopped smoking and cut down on drinking (as have i the drinking that is) and we feel much more positve now, although we will seek help if nothing happens with the changes we have made. I have been a member for a 9 mths now and love it on here and have just decided to have a look in the buddies section as it would be so nice to have someone to chat too.

forgot to say sorry for your loses that must be quite hard.

Hi,
It was difficult to say the least to lose 2 in a row but I have to look at it that something wasn't right and that fate took it's course, we went to a specialist and have had tests but not had any results yet, so we shall see, I'm really hoping that there is nothing wrong. At least we know we can conceive just need to know how we can get it to stick!!
6 years is a while but I truly believe that it will happen for you, just keep up the practising bit xx I love it on here and it would be lovely to buddy up xxx Gives us someone to rant to too! :0

That is a very positive way of looking at it and very true I believe that all things happen for a reason, even if that reason isnt very clear to begin with. Im quite a positive person and believe that it will happen for us its just a matter of time and we have done so well lately to make really positive changes so im excited about that. the showed up for me today so here we go again. How about you?

Hopefully when you get your results they might be able to advise you on what can be done to make your bean stick. I must go to the doctors and have a few basic tests done but for some reason i keep putting it off.

Hey,
The got me today too! Couldn't believe it!! We dtd every 2 days this month!! (which was nice) but I really felt pregnant this month
Do you use opk's and check your temp every month? I haven't done until now but am thinking that maybe I should? what do u think?
Better luck for us this month I hope xxx

 

[Apple Blossom]

I use a clearblue fertility monitor, its very helpful but opks do the same job but the cbfm tells you when to test and when your high and peak days are which you wouldnt get with opks, if you do get one have a look on amazon as i got mine pretty much half price.I would recommend opks as i didnt use them for a while and its only now that i use my monitor that i think i was off by a couple of days and those couple of days make a difference.

I really felt like this month was different too but ive got my hopes up that all the changes we have made are really going to be a big help, but i must remember that it will take 3 mths for the effect to make a difference with the sperm.

Do you take any vitamins?

 

[annmariecrisp]

I'll definately look in to the cbfm today on amazon, I am taking mother to be vitamins and am on weight watchers and I have now lost 20lbs so far, had a bit of a blip this week but back on it now Have also got OH taking vitamins but he still drinks and smokes, I have to say I dont think I have a chance in hell of getting him to give up at the moment. I have got him taking zinc and also eating pumpkin seeds (supposed to be really good for sperm!) he doesn't really like them but I sprinkle them into his salads and pasta so he doesn't have to eat them on their own!
We had a long chat at the weekend about how we both feel and he says that he really wants a baby but is really scared of us losing another one so that's why he hasn't really got involved too much apart from dtd! but he has promised that he will make an effort to make an effort from now on!!
My cat has just had a kitten! which is lovely however! even my cat has more luck than me at conceiving at the moment and it's getting me down a bit!
This month I felt so different and then AF hit me 2 days early! didn't get it!
Oh well, like they say onwards and upwards xxx you tested yet? or are you just going to wait to see if AF turns up? xx

Hi Lauren and welcome to bnb! I love it on here! Ah poor you about your losses too...I have had tests too but just not had the results yet, just to check that there is nothing I need to do something about. When was your last loss and at what stage were you if you don't mind me asking....I have to try and stay positive as I know that pma is the way forward 9 dpo.....you lucky thing, don't worry about bfn's at ths stage as the average day to get a BFP is 11.6 days!! so you are still in it this month!!
I'm on CD3 now and this month I am taking my first month of Soy isoflavones (natures clomid) just to see if it makes any difference....supposed to help you release a strong egg if you take it days 3-7 at 200mg a day! I read it on here! so we'll see. anyway if you ever want to chat and I'd love to have you as a buddy
Speak soon xxx

Hee Hee your ok im blond too and every day is like that for me

congrates on your weight loss my oh is trying to lose a bit so he is going to go to the gym and try to eat a bit healthier. I had to laugh at the pumpkin seeds as i give them to my oh and sprinkle them on salads etc but he will it sunflower seeds by the bowl full so thats good.

My oh still has a drink every now and then but nothing like he use to its very difficult for the men i think as its not there bodies that go through all these changes each month. I can understand your oh being scared i would too but i suppose its one of those times when you should put your fears behind you and try again but scary all the same. Its also good that you both talk about it that is great me and my oh are always talking and reassuring each other.

So sweet that your cat had a kitten i went out today for a picnic with my little boy and then we went to the cinema it was such a lovely day just wish i could give him and brother or sister, one day hopefully. x x
