Just dropping in. Me and OH have been too tired & busy to TTC this week. Been very stressful. BUT just a tip for anyone with an android phone - There is a FREE app called Womanlog - It tracks your period, your ovulation days (predicted) and you can add your temperature etc there hope it helps someone!

Just added! Nice little reminder! Thanks

Well another low for me this morning. Quite depressing really. This is my first month using the cbfm, and at least when I wasn't using it, I had some hope haha. Now with all lows so far, there's none. Oh well, still another 20 days to go roughly till AF!

Yeah I've been using this for a while now, it is useful to be able to track on a daily basis and I think its fairly accurate with its predictions.
I put in my temps, when we BD and when I have taken my supplements. I have a reminder set on my phone every evening about taking my supps as otherwise I forget!

Morning ladies!!

Gizmogiz - yay for smilie face opk I would say BD tonight as well Good idea re: reminder on phone for taking supplements! I should do that!
euro - glad you're feeling a bit better today hun
QQ & tinksy re: royal jelly - I've had a look at this today and I think I might try it too (in pill form) how much are you supposed to take and how often, etc..? They come in 100mg or 500mg tablets at HollandBarrett. Any ideas? I'm off to do a bit of research... VERY IMPORTANT for anyone thinking of taking Royal Jelly - DO NOT take if you have an allergy to bee stings, bees or honey!!!
QQ - do you mind if I ask how things will work out this cycle with your ivf? I know you are going in on CD1 but what happens then and after that? I'm just curious. Please don't answer if you don't feel comfortable. Is it definitely happening this cycle? Are you having it done on NHS or privately? Enough of the 20 questions now...!
keza - your temps looking fab and good things do come in threes... :cool:

Hope everyone else is ok today!!!

CD8 here and I'm having problem with my trapped nerve again this morning...! I've had to cave in and take some codeine Not good for TTC but I am in agony... I will take another dose before going to bed to get a good nights sleep and hopefully it will be better tomorrow!

DH and I are back on the BDing trail - I hope I ov this cycle!!

Morning all - wow this thread moves fast!

Thanks to cleomolly, smash7, gemmaE, BB1984, QQuaver and Keza for my warm welcome, I really appreciate it.

I'll have to get the hang of this snazzy multiquoting one of these days. I am very jealous of others beautifully constructed posts.

Smash - We are both on CD 8, although I had a 25 day cycle last month. hope your trapped nerve feels better today. It's agony - I had one in my neck a few years ago and still remember how painful it was. A steaming hot water bottle was the only thing that vaguely helped.

Keza - I call it the facebook plague! Everyone seems to go through a phase where all their friends are getting engaged/married/pregnant. Nightmare. Hopefully it's your month though!

QQ - thanks so much for adding me to the front page - I feel all official now!

Glad the OH gave you all a laugh - he makes me LOL every day. Last night, he noticed the grapefruit juice in the fridge.

OH: "Grapefruit juice eh? I hate it"
Me: "So do I"
OH: looks quizzical
me: "It's for my, erm, you know..." (hopes he drops the subject)
OH: "What?" (places hands in varying positions on nether regions - his not mine)
me: "no, no"
OH: "What then?"
me: *mutters* "my mucus"
OH: "Ewwwww!!! Nooooooooo"
Me: "well, you did ask!"

Have a good day everyone! I am using up holiday days today, so will be decorating so we can sell the house and get properly started on our build! Also, have to do Day 3 of the 30 day shred DVD even though I am so sore from the first 2 days that I cannot stand fully straight.

My wedding dress does zip up, but breathing is not entirely possible.

Have a great day everyone.

Mozzy, with 28 day cycle, you'll probably get Peak at around CD14, and 2-5 Highs prior to that. Patience!

I don't know if I have allergy to bee stings, never been stung:D
I'll let you know tomorrow:p

As I'm not in the sunny UK any more, I have to do with local health shops. Bought something called Supreme Royal Jelly, organic and made in New Zealand:cool: 60 softgels for £25:eek:
Used DH's credit card:cool:

Says it contains 1000mg/softgel and to take 2 before meals. Have taken two now, and I'll hope for the best:cool:

I love talking about it:p I don't do that on this thread as I know it is irrelevant and is boring for most of you:o
So ignore the next bit if you are not interested:)

---

It's done privately, and I'm on what's called 'short protocol' as I'm more mature:cool:

1. I'll do a blood test on CD1, and it'll tell the doctor how much follicle (egg) stimulating drugs to give me.

2. I start injecting the drugs from whenever the doc tells me, and go for scans to see how it is growing.

3. Just before ov, they take the eggs out, inject sperm, let it grow for a bit (2, 3 days), and put it back in me.

Then 2ww:whistle:

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

My DH asks me that too, usually when having breakfast:D
I just say it makes it easier for the sperm to swim:o

QQ and Tinksy - Just listening to Radio 4 and they are talking about Royal Jelly for helping babies feed and improving fertility!

Admittedly it's the morning drama by Roald Dahl and the baby (and husband) in question is gradually turning into some freakish giant baby-bee hybrid, but interesting all the same.
