Trying for a Baby Part 7

codemonkey

I took 5 of the holland and barrett capsules every night from CD3-7.

I think the extra oestrogen causes the masses of ewcm which is just confusing.

Next month i think I'll go back to au naturale. i've been super grumpy.

So on top of feeling really bloated and my belly getting even bigger (urgh) I've now got a random pain under my ribcage and I keep rubbing the top of my tummy because it's sore... I've just realised that it must look like I'm a pregnant belly-rubber! If only!

I didn't think you were from my part of the country Lily, just a sad co-incidence that 2 young lads have died in similar accidents within such a short space of time.

I'm the same atm birdie. Yesterday i was passing a mirror and my belly was sticking out so much i looked about 6 months gone. Briefly entertained a fantasy that i was and just didnt know it, then told myself off.

Today I am craving meat and want to rip heads off people who annoy me. At the moment that is everyone in the office.

Teaandcupcakes - The general advice is to wait til AF is due and hasn't shown up to test. You will still be pregnant at 14DPO if you are pregnant is the thinking, all you can do by testing early is find out a couple of days early, but more likely you will frustrate yourself with a -ve pregnancy test. That said, some of us here have a POAS habit (peeing on a stick) and are glutton for punishment. You can get strip pregnancy tests from amazon or ebay really cheaply which feeds our POAS habit. I don't think I would be the same if I was paying £7 a pee
Tinkwings - Fingers crossed you won't need any extra help and its just a matter of time before you get your BFP. I love the lavendar hearts. One of my friends sent me one after the m/c as it helps to soothe and relax - such a lovely thought from her.
Goodvibes - for CD1
Gemzie - See teaandcupcakes advice for when to test
Mogwai - Lol about scaring your friend. My best friend is 7 years younger than me and has to hear all about EWCM etc :rotfl: She also had a work collegue who went thru IVF a couple of times, so she will be very well prepared when she is ready to have babies Good luck with losing weight. I like the idea of new undies :cool:
Razwaz - It defo makes it easier without the pressure of BDing around ov time. I've had to have a couple of months off TTC since the m/c, but it has been very nice just to BD when we felt like it. Going to try and continue that way for the next couple of months and see where we get to with it all.
Atton - Yr not a failure. You have come thru a lot in yr life. It can be harder work for some people getting a forever baby thats all. You are on track to have the tests done after the wedding, so I would just try to relax and enjoy BDing in the meantime.
Definatelyblonde - Did your OH manage to contact the hospital? Is it work doing a test with the light/short AF? North Scotland sounds lovely DH wants to visit Scotland and climb Ben Nevis at some point. Think me and DD will go shopping while he does that tho :rotfl:
JoJoB - for CD1. Boo for yr OH sabotaging you with choccie biccies as well. I had a couple of glasses of vino by accident last night tho so I can see how easily these things happen I've cut out coffee too, as I like sweetner in tea so thats ok to drink still. A decimal place thermometer will be fine for temping btw.
Elsie - Have patience I ov'd on CD22 the month I got pregnant. The charting is most helpful once you have been doing it a few months so you can get a pattern built up and know what to expect. Hopefully you will just get your BFP in the meantime tho and not need to look for patterns.
Lemonmelon - for CD1
Lilymay - Housework tonight is planned for me - booo! Hope you enjoyed meeting up with yr friend. My thermometer was from amazon and was about £5 I think. I would prefer one with a memory tho. I take mine when I wake and then sometimes doze off, and have to remember the figure an hour or so later. Which was fine at first, but after a few days all the figures sort of got mingled in my head a little.
Tealover - Hope its gone ok for you working from home. I hate being bored at work too - the day drags on and on and I eat >way< too much when I am bored!
Birdie - Where are you from? I'm in East Yorkshire, but DH works in North Yorkshire. Hope you enjoyed badminton.
Onlywayisup - I couldn't get OPKs to work for me. If yr wee is too dilute this can effect them. I hope your migraine has gone now.
Needhelpsaving - Hope your day has improved now :A
Codemonkey - I would never have thought a man would complain about DTD prior to TTC! I thought they were always well up for it :rotfl: 2b used soy last month when she got her BFP, and she did have a very long cycle - but with a BFP at the end of it Try not to stress out about it, as that may in itself delay ov

abis21

You ladies will have to let me know if I miss something or do something wrong with the lists. I keep fretting that I will miss someone out

Hope everybody is doing ok. :A

AF is lighter for me today thank goodness. I bled on my leggins yesterday morning, had a shower and got changed when I got in and managed to bleed on that outfit too I think its just 'normal' bleeding for most ladies, but I'm not used to it yet so not prepared for it. I hate big knickers, so don't wear pads/pantyliners usually. In a pre-m/c period I would use 3 or 4 normal (yellow) tampons throughout the period, so I did used to be super light and not need pads/pantyliners. Need to get used to the new bleeding. Had to buy some green tampons for the first time ever

Am going to watch DD in a dance show tomorrow night and am excited for it already :j She is in dance school this week, and then they put on a performance for everyone tomorrow from what they have practiced this week.

And then this weekend we will be getting ready to go on our hols :j We go to the New Forest via Oxford on monday for 9 sleeps :j

I bought DD some new shoes (I swear she eats them!) today, but have managed to come home with 5 pairs for her She wasn't with me, so hopefully some will go back as they won't fit her. She goes through shoes at a phenomenal rate tho, none of them are hardwearing enough for her. Like, this weekend just gone there was a BMX track on the campsite we went to and her sandals have come back looking very shabby as I think she uses her feet to brake on her bike sometimes :eek: I don't know if those particular sandals will survive 9 days of walking & biking in the new forest!

Hope QQ is enjoying her time with her sister. :beer:

I live in the 4th smallest city in England, not far from Lightwater Valley See, I need kids as I've got a theme park practically next door!

Hooray for dance shows and holidays, sounds lovely!

Badminton was good; I'm getting better every week and was getting shots that I'd have never managed a couple of months ago! :j

Gemmzie

Thanks abis21, I can get tests from work so not to worry there but will wait as don't want to frustrate myself.

My guess for BFPs this month is 6 - I think there will be loads in September!

tea_lover

I won't be guessing the number of BFPs for August as I haven't got it right yet and have now convinced myself that I can't guess it right I won't get a baby.
