Candycane - huge congrats :j:j

GorkyPark - thinking that cough medicine is worth a try and gives you something new to try which is positive when getting disheartened. Dont like the taste but going to see if it works.

I'm always open to try new things:) I've tried soya but it didnt work for me really:) mainly it gave me hot flashes For last couple months I've been having acupunture once in week + chinese herbs which I hope will help me as well

Which cough mixture do you use? Robitussin or generic ones? it is too many cough mixtures and I'm not sure which one to pick:) I think I'll give try this month as well

Hello all. Just read back an ublieveable number of pages, far too much happeneing for me to try and comment, most of it has moved on now I see anyway.

I am CD13, no sign of EWCM, we've not managed to DTD yet but need to tonight, I usually OV around CD14-16 so if it is going to happen then it will be the next few days, just before I go away for my spa weekend with my mate for my birthday (which was yesterday).

HAven;t managed to temp yet, keep having to get up for the loo in the night, or for DD, or DD jumps on me in the morning and it's too late to do it as I've moved, etc, etc.

what cycle day do you normally ov hun? I would definately recommend temping, do you use ff at all? if you do they explain all about temping etc on there. xx

CD14-16, I know I should have started but see above, will try harder next month if I am not PG (ever hopeful!). Will get on FF too.

skintchick, so a heavy bag could dislodge old blood? I may try that later:think:

So it seems! My yoga teacher (yogi?) did say it is supposed to do that so I guess, yes, but don;t just stick a heavy bag on yourself! Look into it first, not sure what you'd Google though but yoga, abdomen, and bag might be a start.

funny you say that, my Nan is Dutch and some of her family is pretty tall!

My cousins are Dutch and are over 6ft 3ins!! HUUge. Especially for our family where the tallest man is 5ft 8.

My mate goes in for her planned C-section on Thursday. So looking forward to meeting her little one (it's a boy, her second).

Okay, so i am probably being silly here (again....!!!!)

I stopped taking the pill about the 28th-ish of December... and i still havent had AF as yet (which is weird as if i miss one, i usually get AF immediately lol) i wondered when or if people reckon i should do pregnancy test at some point in the near-ish future/next few weeks etc?? I have MEGA achey boobs and had a weird dragging sensation a week or so ago.. i KNOW these could be AF "issues" so certainly not hopeful at all BUT - just wondered how or when i should test just to see........? What do u lot do lol? I mean, even if i had conceived the first BD, i would still only be about 4 weeks at most by this weekend....... Am i being a gun jumper??? :o

If you are worried you could always to an IC. It is possible to OV straight away however it does usually take time for your cycle to regulate again. In November I was doing an IC and an OPK everyday (very cheap internet ones otherwise it would be very expensive) as I didn't know where I was in the cycle and then after AF I was able to know where I was.

You could to a test now and if negative do one each week until AF or +. (Do be aware that it does get very depressing the more negatives you get, so if you would be affected negatively leave it at least a couple more weeks - If you have regular cycles then AF is likely to show by then)

Zippy - how's the bleeding now?

ikkle87

Bigmomma if it would put your mind at rest then do a cheap test. Bodies are weird and even though you got a bleed when you had your break it might just take a little while. Be patient though and if it gets too long then maybe speak to your GP as I think they can give you something to help bring AF on.

I wonder if we have dutch genes in our family as I'm 6ft2 and the rest of my family are diddy lol.

Skintchick, yeah it probably would be better to temp from CD1 although hopefully she won't come and you will get a bfp. I didn't bother with temps the first month and I didn't know where I was or what was happening and AF took me a bit by surprise - whilst I had light trackie bottoms on too! Temping has definately helped though as I can see whats happening infront of me.

Just in the middle of reading an article about ttc when overweight/trying to lose weight, it's quite interesting. xx

Congratulations Candycane!!!!
Well that's blown my prediction out of the water and there's still a week of January to go..well done girls!!!

ikkle87

Ditto ikkle. I don't know when would be best to test, as am only 9dpo but cd 32 (I think- lost track). It's best to test on 14dpo isn't it?
I hope february can knock the socks off January, BFP wise

bigzippy

Ikkle, any chance of sending me a link for that article? Hope the macmillan nurse is helpful and supportive and your dh's head is back in the game

Fannyanna, it's still going, still doing my head in, but no huge clots today or yesterday, so that's progress I suppose yesterday was lighter but today is heavier than yesterday, but my ibs its playing up today and I've got a spot outbreak, so I'm hoping that's an indication that af's on the way out... We shall see... ss-ing for the end if af, eh, whatever next?

I did read through, but on my phone so harder to respond individually, sorry

Oh but wait, congratulations candy cane!! :j
