I went to the doctors yesterday who has given me norethisterone to regulate my cycle. She said it's usually for people with heavy periods but you take it like a pill so three weeks on and one week off when I should bleed. So i've got that for a couple of months to see if if helps. She did warn me of the side effects and I prob shouldn't have googled it cause it doesn't sound great!

I would like AF to come before i start taking these tablets as otherwise i will be 100+ days of no AF and then another 3 weeks :eek:

I think "would like" is an understatement Hope either AF or BFP arrives pronto and stops messing you about!!

On the norethisterone side, my sister's recently gone on that cos of the heavy blood loss (she ended up VERY anaemic). She's still functioning If there's anything specific I can ask to put your mind at ease gimme a shout.

Not really sure if i should be posting or not with recent events, been umming and aaahhhing all week as i am a semi-regular member of the thread - i read it every day but don't often post.....

but, i had a bfp on monday, which also happened to be my OH's birthday!! :j

P.s. I hope no-one takes this post the wrong way, i honestly haven't come on to gloat but to thank you all for the support

Yay! Congratulations AA :j

I hope there's noone else out there too scared to post! :think: How else will we get the BFP fix we need??

Chooch - welcome :wave: You are, of course, welcome here too- but if you want a thread that's specifically for the highs and lows of waiting to TTC then there is one recently set up just for that here.

Sorry haven't posted much, i've had 2 weeks of hell!! Worked 28hours in the past 2 days :eek:

(((Hugs))). Will you have an easier week next week?

Off for round 2 of blood tests tomorrow and my Vit B12 test, then off to docs on Tuesday for DH sperm test results and my second lot of results. Worried of course, but hey, got to keep that PMA, we could have a long road ahead of us, so no point sulking now!

Relax now, it's in their hands. Whatever the results, they'll sort it out for you:)

My gym session today has totally wiped me out today! Back for round 3 2moro! xx

Well done!:T

I've taken norethisterone, but to bring on AF (took 3 times a day for 7 days). I didn't get any side effects.

It should regulate your cycle if you take it like a pill. It won't get you pg though:o

Those of you who go to the gym totally put me to shame!! My chosen form of exercise is walking, I used to love doing exercise classes but since moving to live with DH I can't seem to fit them in, plus my favourite one is taught by his ex girlfriend at the leisure centre here so I'd find it a bit weird, even though she wouldn't have a clue who I was lol!!

:rotfl:
Walking is good:cool:

I'm wondering when would be a sensible time to test seeing as I don't know how long my cycles are! Bought a Digi test today but have some ICs to use first. Think I'll leave it a few more days yet!

Don't use Digi until you see a line somewhere. Perhaps get a cheapy store brand test?

I was due AF today and all day felt ready to start, but still nothing :eek:

I have had a kinda watery, white discharge today (sorry if tmi) i have googled this and appears to be normal before the witch arrives (never noticed before as i was never trying!!!)

Fingers crossed it isn't AF, but I get those cm before AF too:o

lisa26 wrote: »

Hello! Back again!!! Sorry to be a pain but I have a question! Do you only get EWCM near OV? If so when does OV occur in relation to the EWCM? Here I am on CD30 and have just seen what looks suspiciously like it to me!!! OH was on nights last night and is again tonight so no BDing till tomorrow night, I hope if it is OV that tom night won't be too late!!! Ooooh its all so confusing!!

It happens when estrogen surges. Estrogen surges before ov (dries up after ov), about a week after ov and before AF.

I have looked at some of the thread, but there are so many posts it just boggled my mind! What I would like to know is how can I best prepare myself for TTC?

What is best to eat/drink/take? For me and for OH?

What can we do to improve our chances of conceiving?

Good idea to take folic acid or one of those mum to be multi vitamins. Same with your OH:)

Try finding out when you ov, and note down somewhere the start date of AF & possible ov date.

There's various ways to pin point ov. I checked cm before TTC:

I had only started taking the agnus castus (sp?) last thursday so that had to stop straight away :eek:

Feeling slightly overwhelmed and very scared that something will go wrong , but keeping everything crossed.

Thank you all for your advise and motiviation over the last year, even tho i don't post often, the support has been immense!

Spreading lots and lots and lots of baby dust to you all!! Xx

P.s. I hope no-one takes this post the wrong way, i honestly haven't come on to gloat but to thank you all for the support

Congratulations!!!!! you are not gloating and i hope no-one else is thinking that too - although i want to know your secret LOL
Did you do anything different this month or notices any changes?

Hi Everyone,

It is very nice to meet you all

I want to start trying on my 30th Birthday which is not until the end of this year. I'm giving myself and my OH time to get our heads around it all as it will be the first for us both.

I have looked at some of the thread, but there are so many posts it just boggled my mind! What I would like to know is how can I best prepare myself for TTC?

What is best to eat/drink/take? For me and for OH?

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I have not been able to find it.

I'm very new to all the abbreviations so please bare with me.

Chooch

Hi Chooch,

We were all in your boat once....warm welcome
its good that you want to prepare yourself in advance

i personally took pregancare for 3 months before i started trying and then for 3 months into TTC. they are quite expense and OH was taking the male version, now 12 months on i am taking supermarket own branded folic acid as they are much cheaper although once i DO get pregnant i will start taking pregnacare again

i didnt change much in the way of eating as i am fairly healthyish eater anyway but just upped the veggies and fruit

Also dont take this the wrong way but you have to prepare yourself mentally for the long/short road ahead you dont realise how much of a struggle TTC can be

But do enjoy and please keep us updated

Was your pee a bit diluted today?
Why not try again tomorrow?
Perhaps get a cheaper store brand ones? (They are more sensitive than Clearblue)
Fingers crossed:o

OOOhhhhhh, congratulations Always Alone :j
Fab news to read on a friday morning!

Fingers crossed for you Miskanorman too, heres hoping that faint TLP turns into the biggest of BFP!!!

Morning all!

((hugs)) PP

:hello:choochi0

Good luck Mishka!

I woke up this morning feeling very deflated. Had some discomfort yesterday but not sure if it's ov pain or AF as it felt like I did for a week befor AF arrived last month. Not painful or crampy but a kinda heavy stretchy feeling across my lower abdomen. Also my temp this morning has dipped again slightly (not that it was very high but I had had a few days of it increasing a bit). So I kinda thought that maybe I wasn't going to ov this month. Then just know I discovered what I think is EWCM! It wasn't completely clear-some bit were creamy looking but it was very stretchy (so TMI). So I'm not sure what is going on? Maybe I am going to ov afterall? We didn't BD last night because I was too tired and fell asleep on the sofa. The last time we BD'd was Tuesday evening so I hpe if I have/will ov we haven't missed it.

Sorry I'm rambling now, you guys must be sick of me!

Hope you all have a nice day

xx
