Trying for a Baby part 5....

    Hi - I'm having a similar month to NATSING - CD17, and HIGH, for the fifth day in a row.

    DTD every day since CD10, and will just have to keep at it.

    I'm waiting for the specialist to get in touch. In the meantime, I'm working on losing weight - my BMI is nearly down to 30, got a ways to go.

    I'm also:

    Taking baby aspirin (it may have helped the last - and one and only - time I conceived), taking Gaifenesin (ditto), eating clean, inc seeds, nuts, maca, any number of supplements (multi vit, vits B6&12, milk thistle, Omega 3, bromelain), getting PT as of this Saturday, and I've ordered Fertilitea, from Ebay, at no small expense.

    I am on my 60th day of sobriety, and zero caffeine.

    Why can't I get pregnant?

    Three different people have told me they're pg in the last 48 hours - it's not their turn! They should just wait, like the rest of us. Greedy. Why do other people, who are older and fatter than me get pg at a drop of a hat, and I can't? WHY???!
  • Quite right, chickpea. They should cross their bloody legs until you get there first!

    Seriously after 60 days alcohol free I would have a sense of humour failure too. Have a night off!

    Hello everyone

    Been offline for a few days - have read back and haven't seen any BFPs, although it does seem like there may be some lurking around - good luck to those girls!!

    Am stuck in 2WW - CD17, usually have 27-29 day cycles. I don't feel any different, but DH is frantically symptom spotting - apparently my nipples look different, I'm complaining of being tired more and I'm eating more. :) Bless him.... am about 6dpo so I think it might be a bit early.......... first month we've really been trying so I'm really pleased he's showing such an interest....

    xDx
    Fear is temporary, regret is forever.....

    Hey girlies :D Well firstly i have to say thank you to Fanta for bringing the music back to the thread! "So I say thank you for the music . . . ." ;).

    GFH sorry if I annoyed you earlier - I just thought it may help for someone to get bossy! I see what you're saying about a pup and mat leave. If its not this pup no, it'll be another in the not too distant future :).

    The lady with the long name that I can't remember (slhsm?) it sounds positive for you so big fat chubby fingers crossed :D - when is your test date?

    Perdi what's your update? Sorry I remember you posted and think you said no AF yet but due, however I have a lame old memory!

    In fact I think I'll go off and read back again before posting more! :rotfl:

    xx

    Deb your DH sounds a sweetie, bless. Fingers crossed for you too hun x

    Charlie it sounds like you've had a nightmare/confusing time of it. I hope the doc can sort out your infection and you can crack on with a BD fest shortly x

    Right, heading back to re-read back and reply to everyone xx

    Forceful I love it :D

    Very tearful today. Not sure if that is SS or not. I hate this last few days waiting and wondering :cool:

    GTS ((hugs)) for the tearfulness. The 2WW is a nightmare and I really hope its your month (although who will update our lists;)!!)

    Doglover, I'm very similar. My pre-pill ones used to be fairly heavy and quite long, but since coming off they've been shorter and shorter and a couple of early ones too. Also didn't have much CM until this month, and I was worried if I was actually Oving, hence the CBFM. If the week goes as planned though then I guess there's nothing to worry about.:D

    Perdi thank you for your post. It did make me panic a tad but I'm hoping its just an adjustment thing. Major crossed-ness from the DL camp that you'll get your BFP shortly.

    Hugs and SBDTA xxx

    Didn't annoy me at all. You're quite right.

    Just trying to work out how to post a pic of the pup.
