[QUOTE=Jen151;42821896 Well i got some more info on maternity leave & redundancy at work today. Apparantly if im PG just now, then i will get the full maternity pay as a lump sum along with the redundancy money :eek:
But if not PG this cycle - will get nothing!
No pressure there!!!!!
Little to no chance of being pg this month so the ttc break looks set to go ahead.

WOW we have moved fast today
A big hello to all the new posters :wave:
Afternoon girls.
I've got all nervous. I've called doctors to discuss fertility after FF said my LP average was 9 and my last one was 7.
Waiting for a triage call...
I'm all shaky!
People do get pregnant with short LP, don't loose hope :grouphug:Evening all, went to the doc's this morning about my dizzy head and apparently I have a virus, which may take up to two months to clear. Good thing is it shouldn't affect ttc and the pills he gave me don't say I can't take them if pregnant. So thats good...
Hope you feel a little better with the medication and it clears up soon
CD49 here and I'm preying for a + opk tomorrow after having faint lines for a few days, otherwise I'll be fairly annoyed :mad:DMP Mutual Support Thread Member No 315Married 03/04/2010with many thanks to MSE Wedding boardLO 23/03/12 Special thanks to TTC thread0 -
evening ladies!!!
well hello to all the newbies I hope your stay is short!!!!!
Royal Jelly questions, I don't know much but what I did discover was that it was good for fertility and hayfever and endocrine probs. I take 100mg a day at the mo, you can take 200mg a day but as I am asthmatic I am being careful and in a months time i will up the dose. Its not instant although some people have reported it causes them to ov earlier. Definately seems to have a positive affect on people using IVF as it helps them produce very healthy eggs. So fingers crossed!!! the only thing I have noticed is that yesterday I had a very tiny spot of pink spotting. Extremely small, guessing it might have been ov spotting hmmmm
i'm on cd11 ( i think! ) lots of EWCM so baby dancing here tonightCrafting for 2009 items doneOne patchwork blanket, two neck supports, one tea cosy, one knitted bunny, one knitted egg!0 -
Hi and welcome:wave:
I noticed you posted on the 12month+ forums as well, you are welcome to post on both threads (like me:p)?
How much weight do you need to lose? I know they won't give you Clomid until you get down to a certain BMI.
I take Pregnacare too, but for short LP, you may need more, like Vitamin B100 complex?http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/pages/product_detail.asp?pid=107&prodid=395
I have about 1 1/2 stone to lose till im the same weight as when i fell pregnant with dd.... There was no mention of my BMI though it is quite high. Ideally id like to lose about 4 stone more, im over weight but i know people a lot bigger than me (mainly my sister in laws! lol) who fall pregnant so i dont hold with this "oh its just because you're too fat" rubbish.. anyhoo... just keep swimming! lol0 -
divorcingjack - hot water bottle at the ready, thanks!
Your DH sounds like my DHs twin! :rotfl:
QQ - I'm fascinated by your IVF, thanks for sharing! Looking forward to reading about your journey. Fingers crossed xx
emsbet - welcome! don't be afraid to ask questions - there's always someone around to help! congrats on your wedding! BEST DAY EVER!!!!! I loved mine
Derby - red raspberry leaf is meant to help with LP, I think- it thickens the lining or something
lullypops - welcome
vesper - glad your weekend was ok, good luck for tomorrow!
mrsvicx - sorry to hear about virus, hope you get better soon
tinksy - good luck with BDing tonight :cool:
Can I just say - grapefruit juice is disgusting!!!! :rotfl: I have drunk a glass and I will do one a day but I am not impressed :rotfl:
I take pg vitamins, red raspberry leaf and now drinking that awful juice :cool:Que Sera, Sera0 -

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.
:rotfl:
:rotfl: I remember reading that story! Very strange. I like you, DJ, your posts make me laugh!Question - did you used to be married to someone called Jack, or is there more randomness to your name than that?!
Can i also ask which vitamins everyone takes. After reading various forums over the net, it seems there's quite a few that I should be taking.
Right now its only Folic Acid and Vit B complex for me.
Thanks!
I only take Folic Acid at the mo...was planning to only start taking anything else once I actually am preg. Guess I'll go for pregnacare or similar.
Smash - hope you feel better soon. I had a trapped shoulder for over a year, ages ago now. It was horrible! Eventually I got rid of it through acupuncture, but took a long time and even now I sometimes get a twinge if I'm very cold/stressed and tensing my shoulders.
Welcome to all the new people! Welcome to the crazy and mildly obsessed world of TTC!Don't worry about not knowing all the lingo - I only joined this thread in January and I didn't have a clue then. I refused at first to refer to sex and BD-ing, as I find it a bit strange, to say the least! However, after a while I found talking about "having sex" all the time made me feel like a bit of a slag(!) so now I'm happy to BD!
Well, AF has stopped, yay! :j Was very light, only really needed tampons for one day (sorry, TMI I know, lol) Today I have EWCM - I'm assuming that can't be ov, right?! I also feel quite crampy and very grumpy today
I am DETERMINED that this is going to be the month! PMA PMA PMA! :cool: I WILL get up the duff this cycle, dammit!

Hi Ladies
Sorry for just disappearing. It just all gets a bit too much this TTC malarky and I needed to get away from it all! I'm feeling alot better now though after having a break and not obbsessing about it every 5 minutes
I got to CD90 last cycle and am probably at about CD65 now. My BMI is 15. something so this probably has alot to do with it and I think i've accepted that realistically i'm not going to get regular cycles/get pregnant it being that low!! I don't have an eating problem I just don't seem to put on weight so now i'm going to concentrate on fattening up
I'll probably just lurk for a bit as I don't think much is going to be happening here.
Congrats to all the BFP's this month :j
