  • Aww Mit3 no worries hon..I really appreciate your PMA (((hugs)))

    AF has arrived and I actually feel better now as I can start planning for the next cycle. So this cycle was 28 days which is a bit more like it used to be..maybe my mum was right that my body needed a bit longer.

    oops I'm meant to be lurking arent I :o

    Right I'm going outside now to plan up the bulbs my folks brought me for my birthday..that'll cheer me up a bit :)

    Hoping the CBFM turns up in the next couple of days so we can get busy with that too.

    MV the booze makes you feel depressed. I had my worst day yesterday after wine saturday night. Huge hugs, though.
    I usually get depressed before AF, but in your case GFH, it may be your pg hormones:(

    Take care (((hugs))).

    This is what I am doing at the moment.

    * Charting/Temping
    * Using opks
    * Softcups
    * Taking Pregnacare Conception

    Currently 4dpo, had a nice dip on my chart today so am hoping my temps shoot back up tomorrow :)

    If we aren't successful this month I am going to start taking 3000mg of Evening Primrose Oil daily from CD1 to about CD13 (usually OV on 15 or 16) to try and increase EWCM which I haven't had since the erpc after my mmc.

    I don't really see what else I can try - although am considering buying a learblue Fertility Monitor off Ebay.

    Sorry to hear your news GFH - you seem to be one strong lady though and your time will come! :o

    Sorry to all those who have had BFN's and/or AF visiting, here's to our current/next cycles being the ones to hit the jackpot! :beer:

    Q - dont give up, I'm hearing a lot recently in RL that people seem to be getting pg early or late in their cycles so all's not lost.

    MV - hope your PMA makes a reappearance soon, I'm sure you'll having bucket loads of it in a few weeks. TTC seems to be all peaks and troughs and its hard to keep on an even keel sometimes :)

    Hi Shazza, welcome to the forum. I had to google softcups. Not heard of those before. You have to remember that the odds of getting pregnant even if you do everything right are still against us. So you've just got to keep plodding along.

    If EWCM is a problem, have you looked into Preseed? It's supposed to be a sperm friendly lube. We've been using it, not preggers yet though.

    @lolly - which tests have you been using? I'm sorry they have been BFN :(

    We BD'd last night. I'm very happy as after 2 weeks of no DTD, it was relatively easy again. And I swear it's getting nicer everytime. :) Still not nice enough to want to do it though :( But getting there slowly.

    Welcome FairyShazza. Fingers crossed you see a nice implantation dip :).

    CD8 for me. Looking forward to the week ahead and lots of BDing. I have also had no EWCM (since coming of the pill) and have bought some pre-seed to try this cycle. Has anyone else tried this???

    I have also started charting temps and will start using OPK from CD10 to reassure me that I'm actually OVing.

    I'm supposed to be running/crawling a 10K on the 23rd of May so better get my act together...will be running 3 times a week until then :eek:. I Doubt the donut and bag of monster munch at lunch will have helped any!

    hi all

    gizmodo- they were ebay ones but i have used a regular POAS jobby but im not sure what make it was.

    i am incredibly tired today, i was last night too started nodding off on the sofa at about 7pm , not like me at all hmmm.
    I had a sore throat yesterday and saturday not majorly sore but still there so i thin ki might be coming down with something. I hope not :)

    i nfeel a tad deflated i guess, i really thought it was my cycle, that lil bleed i had didnt help, ( i thought it was implantation) i know it isnt over till the witch
    flies in but it doesnt help :)

    hi fairyshazza...i too took EPO this cycle, i dont think i took a high enough dose as there was very little difference, some slight EWCM but not as much as id hoped, so if i havent got my :bfp: this cycle i think i will up my dose :)

    FX'd to all x
