Trying for a Baby part 5....

mennie

Hey please can I join in?

I am 30, DH 33
TTC since Aug 07.
3 mc.

This is our last try before adoption. SO we are really going for it.

I have bought the baby making bible and just ordered taking charge of your fertility

So far I am monitoring my temps and cm, cut out alcohol, caffeine, eating more wholegrain, pulses and leafy green veg. I drink lots of fruit and herbs teas. I swim, run, dog walk, and wii fit. I body brush daily.

I am currenlty about 3 pounds overweight and dh is about 2+ stone overweight. Which we are working on. So hard to do this and be tactful. Any suggestions?

He is taking multi vits, zinc ans selenium. I am taking multi vits, baby aspirin, zinc, selenium,garlic, folic acid, evening primrose, cod liver oil, omega 3 oil and agnus cactus tinture

I would be interested to chat to others who have been trying along time and are trying naturally. Diet overhaul and holistic approaches

Thanks xxxx

Welcome mennie:hello:

I'm sorry to hear about your mcs (((hugs))). I've miscarried once too.
I see you are eating and drinking healthily, does your OH still drink alcohol?

Good morning ladies

I was hoping for some advice, I know I've not been here long so I hope I'm not being cheeky. I don't know when I ovulated this month but AF has been appearing at the start of the month for the past few and hasn't arrived yet.(I think I am at least 14dpo) So... I tested yesterday morning and this morning and got faint positives. But this is exactly what happened in dec which resulted in a m/c. So now I'm really worried that it's going to happen again. Surely the line should be darker when I tested a day later??

It depends on when you ovulated, and when it implanted.
Try another test tomorrow FMU, fingers crossed it'll be BFP that'll go to term:j

welcome mennie,

I've also had 3 mc, is your doctor now doing tests to find out the reasons for the mc? It may not show anything but then again there could be a reason it is recurring.


Starjump really hope the tlp turns to a BFP for you, I think it could just be early on so I'd suggest testing again in 3-4 days time.

Hi all

Just checking in..... AF appeared as expected on Tuesday. Boo!

Just waiting for some stuff from my homeopath.

It doesn't help I have a colleague at work who is pregant. It's lovely news for her, but I'm a little jealous too.

Morning every one..TFI Friday!

Starjump - I would recommend you maybe try one of the digital preg tests. They are a bit pricey, but they take away the ambiguity of analysisng lines.

Maybe wait another couple of days if you can bear it, and test again. Good luck..hope it's a + and a sticky one!

Welcome mennie. Wow you certainly seem to be doing as much as you can to get that sticky BFP. I hope you succeed this time. I've had one mc and am trying to do things a bit differently from last time. I've cut right back on alcohol..maybe just a couple of glasses of wine a week, drinking mostly decaff tea now (although I am having a normal cup here at work as they dont have decaf and I forgot to bring any teabags), trying to eat lots of veg and fruit, walk lots etc. OH is taking a multivit supplement for men, and I have been taking Pregnacare multivit+fish oil capsule for the past 4 months now.

OH has also cut right back on the booze and quit smoking last April (thank god). A massive achievement as he was a hardened smoker!

One of my friends is following an organic, largely vegetarian, diet. No alcohol, only drinking filtered water, lots of supplements etc. She has suffered 3 early mc's too, so is waiting to see if the above helps her next time.

Thanks ladies. I took a CB digi and it came up with pregnant 1-2 weeks. Think I'll test again with frer - I have one left! - on Sunday and hopefully it'll be nice and dark line that I get. I'm hoping that this is a sticky bean.

Thanks again, it means a lot that I can 'talk' with people about it as haven't told anybody else in real life - apart from OH!

Morning-having a bad day here.dd has hurt her foot so we're off to a+e in a bit!
quick question-went to the toilet earlier and there was a small amount of cm that was slightly pink tinged,i think i am about 5days post ov so what could this mean?

Oh dear, not too sure my bf is ready for all this ttc, last night he asked if i've tried out the ovulation test yet, but instead of asking me that, he asked "when are you going to put one up":eek: i then had to explain that you only need to pee on it! NOT put it anywhere!:rotfl:
I tried not to laugh too much as he's so keen for us to get a BFP but it was vv funny!

good luck everyone
