Trying for a Baby Part 7

mogwai

Congrats lulu!! How long have you been trying for? I have just got some conceive plus this month and am def going to use it. Its not that I have a problem with EWCM but am thinking it might give DHs spermies a boost??

Hope this is not TMI, but how did you apply it? I got the tube and am thinking I need to buy a small syringe to use it properly...

QQ - My FSH was 2.7 and my LH was 7.2 - this was on my CD21 bloods (I thought they checked these on CD3s but my dr assured me this timing was fine). I am thikning of going on a low carb diet anyway to lose the 1.5stones Ive put on so happy coincidence! I never had a sweet tooth but love my carbs (taters, bread, mmm)

Oh and I forgot to say lilymay, so sorry for your loss. If you dont mind me asking, how old was your dd when she passed?

I checked on ff and I started cramping last month at CD24 too, so I'm going to assume it means AF will be visiting. I don't feel stressed though, just a bit disappointed that I know what's going to come!

Marie - I've made another appointment with the GP too although it's not for another 2 weeks. If AF does start on CD29 again, there is clearly a problem with my LP so I'll print off my charts and show them to him.

I forgot to say before. The strangest thing happened to me today. I got chatting to a woman at my meeting and it turns out her son is buried next to my daughter in the cemetery in Sheffield. I couldn't quite believe it when she told me where he was buried. Both our children died on the same day, in the same hospital and were buried 1 day apart in the same cemetery. Bearing in mind I now live in the North West, she lives in Scotland and the children were born in Sheffield...it's just so strange that we would ever meet. The cemetery is only very small and the baby section is even smaller. We had a little cry to each other when we realised. I have her number now anyway, but it was just such a strange chance meeting.

I realise it's a bit of a depressing topic, I just felt I should share.

On a lighter note, DS and OH are having a poo crisis so must dash!

Aw see I'm quite sentimental so I wonder if they're friends now and wanted their mummies to know that they have someone to play with :T big hugsfor your cry but I bet it will be nice to have a friend who's been through the sameish thing x x

Congrats to lulu

Lulu - Congratulations! Hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy.

Mog - She was 3 days old. I'm sorry, I didn't mean that post to bring the mood down, I was just so shocked that I should come to meet this other lady. It knocked me for 6 a little bit this morning.

Teamlowe - That made me cry In a nice way. I miss her so much.

Anyway, I've just been looking on amazon @ conceive plus and pre-seed and 95% the reviews say it worked first time. Although the sceptic is me in wondering how many people have bought it and it hasn't worked! I don't think OH's swimmers are the problem for us, it looks more like my cycle is duff. :rotfl:

MrsJ28, how was your screen free afternoon?

It was bliss!! I've only just turned on the tv and opened the laptop. We ended out going to the garden centre and buying lots of bedding plants and doing the borders in the garden (we moved in 8 months ago and haven't done much to the garden yet), DH mowed the lawn, I got the kitchen all nice and clean and then we had a barbecue as it's a nice evening, sat outside! Lovely! I highly recommend the screen free thing once in a while, we should definitely do it more.

Hope your AF will show soon and you can get started on your next ttc cycle. It must be difficult waiting but I'm sure your body is just getting ready to go again.

Congratulations Lulu!! :j Hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months.

Aw lilymay dont be silly, its sad to hear she was so young - she was just an angel when she left..

I didnt really look up the reviews but it sounds good (conceive plus). Im trying to do something new every cycle, so last month it was acupuncture which seemed to lengthen my cycle from 28 - 31 days, but gave me 5 days of proper EWCM! Am continuing with this
and will try CB digi OPKs and conceive plus.

Dont know what ill do with all my stash when we eventually conceive!

mrsj28 I think a screen free day sounds like what we need - we are both addicted to our laptops and DH can watch TV all day if I leave him be! We do watch everything on TV together though so its not completely antisocial.. :rotfl:

Good morning:wave:

Tomorrow is the planned IVF egg transfer date. Fingers crossed my hormone levels are fine and that the egg will defrost OK

claretsgirl, no symptoms is also pg symptom (unless you haven't ov'd yet). Fingers crossed this is the month:)
When are you testing?
lilymay, anything that happens at 3DPO means nothing. Egg will only be floating in your fallopian tube, so crampings are all unrelated:D
That's an amazing story about your DD (((hugs))).
I like what TeamLowe said in that your DD wanted to tell you she has a friend.
Hope the poo crisis wasn't too bad:o
lemonmelon, free Ben & Jerrys?:happyhear
lulu75, congratulations!!!:j Seems conceive plus may have done the trick, were you always a 'dry' person?
mrsj28, I love the screen free idea. I'll try that if I ever have a child:o
mogwai, I'm not sure about D21 bloods, as I had my LH/FSH ratio checked at the beginning of the cycle.
