Trying For a Baby III

~BamNaggy~

Aww thank you ladies, I am very touched...and flattered. x x


I am quite a positive person, however it is my first month ttc and I imagine you are normally full of joyous expectation.
I think, after a few months of BFN or worst of all a MC you feel a lot less like bouncing out of bed every morning with a big cracked grin on your face. So I can understand that some of you are feeling down...and I totally sympathise. x x


So if I do seem too cheerful to some of you, especially those that are not feeling so grand at the moment, I apologise for any unintentional tactlessness. :happyhear

P.S I am not been saintly about giving up alcohol. I am not really a drinker anyway. Maybe have a tipple twice a year and then of course there is Christmas, where I make a general show of myself on the dance floor at the work's party lol.

Lots to catch up on again, i really must make more of an effort to do less work and more MSE!

I feel crappy today, AF is due today but so far just had pangs of pain, but slightly more exciting that i wont be taking my pill for the first time as of Friday....:eek:

Also have terrible toothache, i wish it would have saved itself for when we do conceive (providing we do) because, don't you get free dental care when pg?

Sticky baby dust everyone xx

**confuzzled**

OMG Bam, you bear an uncanny resemblance to John Travolta:eek::rotfl::rotfl:


I feel icky:( but my crisps are helping a lot:D:D

Hi all, liking the busyness of the thread at the moment, its very upbeat too

I'm on CD16, think I ovd yesterday but I've got horrible crampy pains now which I don't quite get why, but ho hum. Feeling really odd at the moment, not sure whether I'm having a silent migraine or whether I just need a holiday! Nothing else to report here.

Got my fingers crossed for you confuzzled

stickybabydust ladies xx

Ooh bam - my ttc checklist was/is:
gave up drinking (started again after 4 months, not lots but a glass of Chianti or a G&T if I fancy it!)
do more exercise (learning to swim and snowboard)
eat healthier (still do though, but we have pretty good diets anyway)
take my prenatal vitamin (Tommy's which I buy on 3 for 2 in Boots and stock up :money:)
take low dose aspirin
take 100mg B6
take Agnus Castus (up until ov each month then stop)
take my BBT everyday (at 6:45am:eek:)
get OH to take a good multivitamin everyday
check my cervix position/texture and cm everyday
use a cbfm (lent to me by a fertile friend so very :money:)
cut down on caffeine (yeah, that lasted about a week :rolleyes:)
use FertilityFriend to keep a chart/record of each month to look for patterns over time

I'm now at a point where I'm finding more and more things I enjoy doing that I'll have to stop once pg, so I'm making the most of them until I get my bfp...

Me too!

Me too again!

What's the benefits of taking these? My biggest worry is not getting pg it's being totally run down and exhausted when I do get pg. With my son I was only 20 but I slept 15 hours a day in the first 12 weeks and was signed off at 29 weeks just completely wrung out. It didn't help that I absolutely hated his dad though! :eek::rotfl:

Well I need crossing off the list AF arrived today :mad:, my reaction kinda suprised me knew it was coming but I have been sat here 30 mins crying my eyes out and im all red blotchy and snotty, not a good look, its really hit me how long its taking im so fed up of saying its our turn then finding its not

I take folic Acid
Started taking temp
tried cutting out coffee but so hard I have about 3 a day & about 3 diet coke is this too much caffine? oh and a chocolate bar as well
Alcohol - have not tried cutting this out yet only drink really on weekend and after AF its a good thing I have wine
could do with loosing a little weight & eating healthier but more because its not easy to excercise with 2 knee replacements a hip replacement and both elbows replaced

Loving the positvity Mrs:D And can I ask, if it's not too rude:o, why all the replacements?!?! You must only be about 60% you by now:rotfl:
I've added you to the list and i don't know the RDA for caffeine but it's sounds as though you could be in the high range but then again I'm a coke hater:eek: and yep thats all kinds of coke before you lot start insinuating anything:rotfl:

Thank you!:rotfl:It'll be just my luck that the show is recorded for a dvd or something and he picks on me. I'm having bad AF pains again so I'll end saying "don't you f**king pick on me you f***king man.... I'm on my period":o

Waiting for DH to naughtily leave work early. Going to McD's before theatre so I don't have to cook:j

Sorry about AF
