Trying For a Baby II

helen81_2

Yayyy 2 cycle buddies! Anyone else at the start of a cycle wanna join us??

Hayley, I usually wear tampons but as something unusual was happening to me Im wearing pads soI can see whats there.

Ive been looking back at some notes of my cycles from last year and doing some counting...turns out my Luteal phase from this time just gone was 6days shorter to one last year (Nov) Ive done some googling on luteal phases and everything I read about it says that although the 1st part (follicular phase) of your cycle can alter from month to month due to many factors inc stress,exercise,upset ect.. the 2nd part (luteal phase) should always remain consistant from month to month
So now Im thinking maybe an egg did get fertilized but it just didn't have enough time to implant properly and got washed away with AF? Would explain the mucky brown period I seem to be having?

Why can't I just accept that I wasn't lucky this month and move on!!! :mad:
Im trying but I just keep having these thoughts.

Ooh I always wanted my very own cycle buddy :j Ah don't worry about the TMI, I don't think anything is TMI on this thread :rotfl:When I came on last night it was quite a dirty brown but then it went quite pink. Don't know what it's like now coz I wear tampons through the day.

I'm on cycle four now, going to try extra hard this month to BD more, we are very lazy sometimes

My OH has just said he's heard that drinking Lucozade and eating bananas lowers your sperm count? Is he talking rubbish? He drinks loads of Lucozade :eek: I've told him he's got to start taking Zinc tablets, is that the best thing for him to take?

Ive seen a few posts where zinc is reccomended, think it was Shelly? It can't do any harm to put him on them surely? Sounds like Im talking about a pet dog or something! :rotfl:

Oh, Hayley and Helen. Keep your chin up. It will happen for you.

Just googled to see what foods are high in zinc and I got this.

Shellfish, beef, and other red meats are rich sources of zinc. Nuts and legumes are relatively good plant sources of zinc.

Hi everyone,

Can I be a cycle buddy even though I'm on cd5 today? I don't ov until day 20 usually so quite late on in cycle.

I don't OV till at least cd18 either,with a cycle of around 31 days
Yay, more cycle buddies! Lets hope at least 1 ,but ideally all of us get lucky this time :j Sticky baby dust to us all xxxxxxxxx

becs

I hope so too! My cycle is either 28 days or 31 usually. This will be our 8th month since being able to ttc. Just changed dosage on the meds that I have to take last week as well so keeping my fingers crossed that will make all the difference this month too!
Perhaps it will be our little group that come flooding in with the BFP's altogether next month!

I'm feeling a bit left out .........

I want a cycle buddy!! Anyone ladies around CD18??? I always have a 31 day cycle but have no real idea when I ovulate.

Baby dust to everyone.

I think I'm of CD18 but not really sure with everything all messed up. I've been doing ov test sticks since Thursday but no result yet - hang on, just got to go do another one.

Nikabella

Oo yay, ok well we can assume we are cycle buddies! I must buy myself some of those ovulation sticks if we miss this cycle! I've been trying to just track ov on CM but I'm obviously a bit thick as I really haven't seen anything this month that has made me think I'm ov'ing!

Oh no just dropped one ov stick in the stuff past the mark and while I was faffiing around getting another one my hot cross buns burnt under the grill .

I think I'm tired, built a tv stand today (took 3 hrs) and half cleaned my flat (just living room and kitchen left to do).
