    I've been Money Tipped!
    MV - that is very true! Good luck with it all.

    Still no ov here - don't think it's going to happen this month. I feel stupidly down about it even though I knew the chances were very low! Don't think it helps that I'm struggling to get a job too at the moment. Oh well 23 days until our wedding :)

    CD1 for me :( I'm gutted it's arrived in time for our little 4 night holiday as that means I'll be on the entire time and I've never had AF on holiday before, ever! Always was either on the pill or took the tablets that delay it. Don't even know if I can swim?! Looking at the weather here I might have to swim to the airport tomorrow so I'll find out sooner than expected! ;)

    Hugs for Fannyanna and my fellow CD1-ers :)

    Woo hoo :j you must be so excited!

    MV - sounds like your kind of on your way ttc already! Hope it happens soon for you soon. I reckon if everyone waited for the perfect time to have kids there wouldn't be any kids!


    Re American Pie - I can't believe that came out 13 year ago :eek: It feels like yesterday.

    Birdie85 - ((hugs)) for CD1 - hope you are going somewhere nice where you can take your mind off it. I've never had a problem swimming or being away with AF, I'm sure you'll be fine.

    Mogwai - Fertility massage - please tell me more! I adore massages and if I can kill two birds with one stone (relax and increase chances!) I'd be there.

    AFM - First peak on CBFM today. Have been going for every 2 days BD so this week have managed Sat, Mon and Wed. I'm now going into "lets try and do it as much as we can to increase our chances" but I know from experience that doesn't work with oh. I need to try and keep a bit of patience going till tomorrow night. Any CBFM'ers got any tips on best days to BD over the 2 peak days? Will once tomorrow evening be enough if the last time was wed eve. Oh - have been using conceive plus this time too as I don't seem to get much EWCM. Problem is, now I'm using it I can't tell what's leftover Conceive plus and what's EWCM :o (sorry for TMI!)

    Have my next reflexology appt tomorrow evening which I'm very much looking forwards too.

    Morning all,

    Hugs for all those who need them. I really like that when one person posts a problem, everyone else comes out of the woodwork with similar issues. It helps to know you're not suffering alone.

    Anyway. My temp went up again today so I'm pretty sure I ov'ed and that makes me very happy :) I'm looking forward to the next few weeks and am feeling very hopeful. If i catch this cycle, the EDD will be my deceased MIL's birthday which would be nice :)

    Hope everyone is okay, and QQ - you are totally right about givig your eggy the best chance. If you don't mind me asking, was your m/c conceived naturally?

    Perhaps you could swim with tampons? Not that I've ever tried...
    zcrat, I'd BD on both Peak days, failing that, since you BD'd yesterday, you could BD tomorrow only:o
    lilymay, it looks like 2DPO to me this time:cool:
    And yes, last time I got pg was natural and was first time without protection (honeymoon baby):cool:
    Like most honeymooners, we were at it like rabbits:rotfl:
    I mmc'd at 10 weeks (after heartbeat was confirmed).

    QQ *hugs* for losing honeymoon baby, mine was one too :o

    appointment with gynae went very well, although i could've done without the internal exam lol
    i've got another appointment in four months to see how things are going and in the meanttime, my metformin dose has been increase from 500mgx2 daily to x3 daily, they're guna do an ultrasound hyscosy (not sure if that's different from a normal one) and i'm guna get my hormone levels checked, but she said i don't have to do that next cycle i can wait a couple if i have time before the next appointment to give the metformin chance to work :cool:

    she also mentioned clomid, but i think that would be the next step if the metformin doesn't work which obviously i'm hoping really bad it does. she mentioned that my bmi is too high for fertility treatment but i'm ok with that as i'm doing all i can to get it down and again, the metformin should help with that x x

    Thanks QQ. Will try my best to entice him tonight!

    TeamLowe - sounds like there's lots of positive actions that are being taken. Good luck with getting that BMI down. I'm on WW at the moment and even after following the plan for a couple of days I feel better. Really hope the meformin works for you.

    zcrat, Ive been looking for a video on fertility massage but havent been able to find one. I did find these instructions though

    Its supposed to do all sorts of good things, mainly resulting from increasing blood flow to the uterus and ovaries.

    more info

    short video demo of massage

    You're right, any kind of massage is good, and if this has the added benefit of boosting fertility, why not! :D

    Awww... (((hugs))).
    Your doctor's appt sounds good, fingers crossed metformin does the trick:cool:
    AFM, clomid did wonders by making me ov early (didn't result in a baby though:o).
