    Hello MrsHappy and Sa-ra-ra-ra!

    Emsbet, don;t worry about not having symptoms, I never get many, some women just don't. I've never heard about smelling different before. I do smell different right now but only cos it's been so hot!!!! :rotfl:

    As for early scans, I had one with my second pregnancy, which is the one which ended with a live baby, and I did find it a bit reassuring, but I have friends who had an early one, saw a heartbeat, then went for the 12 week one and the baby had died in bewteen, so they are no guarantee and they are not cheap.

    I probably wouldn't have one again, I didn't with my last pregnancy, which ended at 10 weeks although bean was only measuring 6 weeks.

    I definitely feel pregnant today. My nipples hurt when DD feeds, my tummy is all achy, I am constipated :o Am having to sit on my hands and not test as I know it's too early.

    Oh, and can I go on the front page?

    I'm wanting to use it to lengthen LP - do you think I should take it continuously?

    Well, we aren't meant to offer medical advice on here, and i am definately not a medical professional, so i wouldnt dare to tell you what to do! All i can offer is my experience, and that was for short LP, and i took it all month round, and made sure that i had a good quality product (not the cheapest out there) and that i kept to the dose on the bottle ( mine said one per day).

    You could try asking a doctor, but, when i did, mine just looked blankly and said, oh, herbal remedies. Not heard of it, give it a try.

    With Clomid, one can start from CD1 to CD5, with CD5 yielding better quality eggs and CD1 more quantity of eggs.

    I was always told to take it from CD2. I think that was one of the reasons I never caught the eggy:o I don't know why the doctor didn't start me off later. Me being older, my eggs are bound to be slightly off. Stupid man:naughty:

    OI!!! I got told off for the talk of stale eggs! :eek: Don't you start!:eek::eek::D:p;)

    OMG I am shocked. Do you really plan when you have sex, be sporadic and let things happen. Would kill the passion for me.
    When you been together over 10 years like us there ain't much passion left :rotfl:We are a real old married couple lol. Tbh with my sex drive non existent if we didn't plan it wouldn't happen. Or once at best.

    Emsbet, how far along were you last time when you mc'd? I would imagine that getting past that milestone would be a big relief for you, but if/when I get pg again, I will be going straight to my doctor and asking for an early scan. Other thing you could do is yoga, my boss did yoga right throughout her pregnancies and she really enjoyed it, it's very good at calming you down - just let them know you're pg or better still, go to a class specifically for pregnant ladies. Or meditation, going to look into that now as I could do with a bit of de-stressing!

    It was about 6wks so only another week and three days until I pass that. I was also spotting from about 13DPO which (touch wood) I haven't had.
    Still deciding what to do about early scan.
    I've tried yoga before and it's nit really me. Ive found my knitting relaxing.

    Thanks for the reassurance. I get what you are saying re:early scan- I'm going to think on that one.

    Hope it's a beanie playing up.

    Really sorry about my freak out earlier everyone :o I'm not going to say anymore about my pregnancy (except to offer advice to others) as this isn't the place.
    Hope I didn't offend anyone :o

    Hope you all are having a nice evening.

    I know Goppers I testing later in the week, anyone else testing soon?

    xx

    ETA I stopped taking agnus cast us after ov as it says on the pack of mine nit to be taken by pg women. I took it for longer the month I had my mc - that's probably not related though

    hello :wave:

    had my last day in the office today - just working from home tomorrow then off to london to catch my flight! :)
    We're off to slovakia...! random I know, but can't wait. Not sure what to expect but I'm sure we'll have fun!

    Well, CD16 and looks like I still haven't ov'd :( I really thought I was going to, but my temp dropped again this eve and I don't have any ewcm... We've been at it like rabbits as well!! :rotlf:

    So I'm not sure what to do about temping, and whether or not to take my thermometer. Maybe I won't take it. Can't remember who said it, but taking my temps isn't going to get me pg or stop me getting pg! we'll just have to keep getting jiggy on our hols :D

    It's been so hot today, hasn't it?! I've been so sweaty and horrible all day! Haven't been sleeping well either as keep waking up too hot, flinging the covers off then waking up again later too cold! :rotfl:

    ((hugs)) for your OH, fannyanna, sounds nasty. Hope he's been sorted out by the hospital.

    There's a few potential BFPs lingering amongst us, by the sounds of it...exciting! Looking forward to catching up when I get back from hols.

    Right, must go to bed - see you in the morning :)

    BB x
    :love:"Live long, laugh often, love much":love:
