Afternoon ladies!
I've just been out and bought some Superdrug own 'pg' vitamins (which are also for conception) and some raspberry leaf capsules which can be good for increasing LP. Anyone else heard about this? I know it's used in the later stages of pregnancy but, I've read a lot about it in conception stages too.

I've not tried it, but good luck:)

Still no AF here yet; perhaps I'm tempting fate by buying conception stuff...?

Good tactic:cool:

All stress can put ov off:o

Thanks QQ, still DTD as and when, rather than stressing about every couple of days, sort of thing. But while I've got these infections I'm just not up for it (not up for much tbh!) so we've had a bit of a break. Tbh, I'm not too fussed about getting a BFP til I've had the tests, so I know that either there's nothing wrong or it's being dealt with, iyswim

Hi Ladies,

Long time no speak! But don't worry I have been lurking and keeping an eye on all you lot!

Just had to post cos.......

Today is CD11(31/29/10) and just went to loo and found EWCM!!!!!!!! hooray!!

Last night we BD'd and TMI it was very slippery down there!!

Feeling really great and positive - It's been really helping me this cycle that I haven't been using OPKs. I find when I'm using them I spend all day thinking about TTC. I have to think about when to stop drinking and when to hold my pee - then I have to rush home and PIAC without DH knowing (don't want him to think I'm a TTC nutter!). Then if I get a negative OPK it puts me on a downer for the rest of the evening. I'm usually a happy person so that was just doing my head in.

Obviously I'm not in the 2ww yet - that is the hardest time usually but I'm gonna try and stay positive and not think about TTC too much.

I have been reading the FLYlady thread on the Old Style Boards and following the tips and advice to get my house in order. It's giving me something else to focus on.

sending my love to you all my TTC darlings.....we'll get there when the time is right.....stay positive ....xxxxx

arghhhh blinding migraine woke me at half one this morning and I went to reach for the normal combination of co-codamol and ibuprofen. :eek:Stopped and thought about it and decided that I would be really brave and just take paracetamol. Then spent the next hour wanting to kill DH for every breath that was too loud, every snore, every wriggle he made. :cool: I ended up on the sofa rather than a police cell, and although migraine hasn't completely gone it's much better than it was.

Am hoping its the surge in hormones that is causing the migraine!!

SBDTA x x x

Have you tried triptans for migraine? They are definitely not recommended during pregnancy but I've never read about them interfering with TTC.

Hi All,

Thanks for all the warm wishes. Cramping got worse for a while, to the point where I thought I would have to cancel my psych appt. Luckily, I managed to get past that and it started to calm down again. But cramping seems to be coming and going at the moment. One minute not too bad, the next horrid.

Really got to start worrying about myself more, and how I feel about stuff, instead of always trying to fix other people's problems and worry about them. Pretty sure I do that as it's easier to worry about other people's problems than it is to worry about my own. I find that hard.

Anyway, am back now to lying on the sofa and relaxing and hoping that OH will get us burgers on the way home! lol. Don't fancy cooking right now.

HUGS to everyone who needs them xx

Hey Euro, glad you are feeling a little better. I think Burgers is the answer for sure! Maybe even washed down with wine?

MrsExcited, loving the pma! Sounds like a good way to go. Wish some could rub off on me though. I really hate this waiting game. I tested this morning bfn. AF due Sunday. But tomorrow we are going out with 12 mates to celebrate my birthday. Will need to try and not drink, but not make a big deal out of it. Hoping people wont ask becuase of the mc. Moan over, sorry ladies xx

So you spotted at CD17? Do you know when you ov'd?
If you ov'd at CD14, then CD17 is only 3DPO, too early for implantation. Had you ov'd on CD11, then implantation spotting at 6DPO is possible (reply from QQuaver)

Hi QQuaver
Thanx for the lovely welcome and advise
Ok let me see if I can work this out - what does CD mean please?

According to an online Ovulation Calender, (https://www.ovulation-calculator.com) I've ovulated on March 13th. I had spotting yesterday, March the 17th.
Does that make any sense?
