WTT with a view to TTC in Sept/Oct/Nov - looking for a TTC buddy!

[Soniamillie01]

Miss malteser - sorry AF arrived, I've been spotting all day so in the same boat! I would definitely try the b6, my Luteal phase was 9 days last month and this month is 11, well including today as only light spotting so it seems to have worked for me.

Emz - The only thing I'm doing is keeping track of how long my cycles are so that I know when to expect the next one and keeping note of when we DTD! My libido was sky high a few days leading up to what I thought was O day and it was the same last month too. Now I don't really feel up to it! lol but that could be down to my cold because I don't get much sleep with it and I can't breathe properly!! lol
Do you know when you're going for your first scan? x

You are doing pretty much what we did then. I knew my cycles and when I ov'ed (pain), but nothing other than that.

Haven't called docs yet but apparently we can get a form from docs to fill out and then MW will contact us. I am going to do that tomorrow

Another stupid Q from me ladies. What is a luteal phase?

 

[Soniamillie01]

It's the period of time from ovulation to AF arriving, it needs to be a minimum of ten days for the lining to be thick enough for a fertilised egg to implant x

Blooming 'eck, I didn't know any of this Maybe my luteal phase was too short in October then Interesting though x

 

[Soniamillie01]

I'm currently taking b6 to try and extend mine. It has added one maybe two days this month so hoping it will continue x

 

[miss malteser]

I went to the chemist for my B6 and they didn´t seem to have any idea what I was on about! Looks like I´ll have to wait until I´m back in the uk over christmas to visit Holland and Barrett. They always have every kind of supplement ever invented! So no doubt that will mean another month of ttc. Not a happy bunny.

 

[miss malteser]

Sonia, how many mg or mcg of b6 do you take? I read on another post that we should take 50mg a day but reading the labels of some general health supplements yesterday, they only contained 1.5mg of b6! That´s a pretty big difference! I´ve also read that if you take b6 you should also take b12 as too much b6 can cause a b12 deficiency. This ttc malarky is getting far too complicated for me!

I always remember my RE teacher at school (sex ed was also taught in RE at my super strict catholic school!) putting us off sex before marriage by telling us that 2 seconds of intercourse was all that was needed to get a girl pregnant! If only....

 

[almosthere]

sonia, still no af? late yet?

AFM, I got my third pos OPK this morning, haha. But yesterdays was the darkest so I think I OV yesterday morning. I had a HUGE temp drop this am, is this a bad sign? =( It went from being about 97.8 yesterday morning at 9am (the room was warm) to 97.2 at 6am this morning (the room was cool). Is this bad? I already had a temp dip 4 mornings ago right before I got my first opk... =(

 

[Soniamillie01]

Almosthere - I think a dip in temp is normal on ovulation and should now rise, to get cross hairs on FF need a rise over three days.

Miss malteser - I take 50mg and my prenatals already have 10mg in them and cannot get a different dose to 50mg, other than 100mg. The upper limit for self administering in the uk is 100mg so if your prenatals include it I would tale a 50mg supplement in addition. 1.5mg seems quite low- my 10mg in the prenatals is 714% of recommended daily allowance but ok to take more up to upper limit which is the 100mg.

Also strange that your pharmacy doesn't have it, wonder if it's known by another name? It's a very common stand alone vitamin in the uk but it also common as a multi vitamin. Not sure ok the b12 thing but your prenatal should contain that as well I guess. Hope that helps.

AF has arrived, for what it's worth as hardly anything and not having to wear anything (tmi). DH is v keen to TRY lots this cycle so we can try for a BFP for Xmas. I could potentially test Xmas eve x

 

[almosthere]

Sorry to here AF showed, but a xmas BFP sounds better anyway =) Unless AF arrives within the next week, I should be testing around DEC 12! =)

 

[miss malteser]

Sonia if AF is that light are you sure it actually is AF?? I´ve read that loads of ladies get spotting around the time of their first missed AF. Have your temps dropped? I will also be testing (hopefully) on Christmas Day, although being back at my mum and dads for Christmas and not having a spare minute nor the possibility of hiding a HPG as NOTHING is private in that house, it may be difficult!

Almost, I agree with Sonia. It´s definitely normal to get a temp dip on ov day.

 

[almosthere]

Thanks ladies. Now more crazy temp changes. It went from my 97.2 yesterday am to 98.2 this morning! Could this mean I finally Ovulated? Also, on day 4 of pos opks, !!!

 

[almosthere]

and is it bad we didn't BD last night? we have been BD too much and DH says it is turing into a chore, shucks!

 

[PreshFest]

I bet you ovulated!! And it shouldn't be a big deal that you didn't bd last night. as long as you did the day before and you do again today, then you should be good to go!!! GET THAT EGGY!!!

AFM... Scan tomorrow morning, so today is draaaaaaaaaaaaaging. I'm very nervous, but so full of hope. So all I can do is wait, wait, wait!!

 

[Soniamillie01]

Hope tomorrow goes well preshfest!

Almosthere - I would day you definitely ovulated given the + opk and the temp rise and agree as above shouldn't make you out.

AF defo arrived now - with a vengeance! Not nice roll on next week x

 

[almosthere]

Hope AF ends soon for you sonia!

Preshfest, keep us updated, I know you will have a nice strong baby growing inside!! =)

AFM I don't feel pregnant yet, boo. Haha. But about to shower, straighten my hair, do my make -up and get sexified for our last chance at babymaking for November tonight! I only have 2 hours til DH get's home!!!

 

[Emz1982_in_uk]

Almost - Good luck. Can't wait until you test. How long will you wait? x

Presh - Good luck tomorrow x

Sonia - Not long now until that Xmas BFP x

 

[almosthere]

how are you feeling emz?! And planning on testing after my semester is over, so DEC 12th! And almost only one semester left for my BA degree just have to mention, sooo excited!!!! And I will be student teaching with cute little preschoolers and maybe with a cute baby bump! hehehe.

 

[almosthere]

and when did i ov? if inbetween my temp drop yesterday and my temp rise today? So am I 1DPO??? My first pos opk was 4 days ago!

 

[Emz1982_in_uk]

OMG, I am in my final year of my BA Education degree! I am going to hopefully teach 4 to 10 years olds. But as we wouldn't start our teacher training until September 2012, I'm gonna have to take at least a year out.

I am feeling HUNGRY!!!! A few pangs of nausea and very mild stretching pains. Oh and one sore boob. But all in all I feel ok. Was supposed to go to the gym tonight but my son wouldn't let me. He cried so I stayed, bless him x
