Trying for a Baby Part 8

angeltreats

Atton, please don't give up. I know it is hard and I know you've been trying for far longer than many of us but never say never.

Chloelouise - best of luck with the PhD, hope the final stage is as stress-free as possible for you

Lilymay - I've been having a good old think about maca too and reckon I will try it from next cycle. I'm going to ask DH to take it too, he already takes vitamins and he's been taking cod liver oil on and off when he remembers so I'm sure he won't mind one more pill to pop every morning. I also take agnus castus from CD1 until ov, not sure how much good it's doing me now as I'm fairly regular (within 2 days or so) but I'm sure it helped my periods start again after coming off depo and shortened my cycle down to a normal length.

Bit more good news for me today - our clapped out old banger went for its MOT today and sailed through no problems - the only advisory was "tested in wet conditions" I was expecting to have to come home and order parts and spend the weekend passing DH spanners and torque wrenches. They say these things happen in threes, and we've already had two this week - I won the iPad and now the MOT - and my exam results come out tomorrow morning so I'm feeling fairly hopeful.

Hope you are all having lovely days, and the CD1 people are all having lots of choccy.

Hmmm I think I'll give the Maca a go too on my next cycle. Can't hurt! Thanks for the tip about building it up slowly Rum, I'll do that!

Good news about the car Angel, I always feel so nervous when I send a car off for an MOT, like it's sitting an exam! Fingers crossed you get great news tomorrow too!

Cheer Rum.

I've started taking 4 pills a day. I have quite a strong stomach so hopefully won't notice any dodginess

positives: New cycle, know DH is definitely on board and can eat all the cheese and drink all the wine without anyone asking questions. didn't waste money on conceive plus only to get a sneaky positive (Dammit)

negatives: no baby for Christmas. Probably no baby next Christmas either. 3 people I know due to give birth in the next week or so, one of which is my ex's unplanned and unwanted baby, which is all kinds of unfair

Soooo, hippy that I am, been reading up on red clover. Apparently an infusion of the dried blossoms drunk every day can resolve fertility issues, even if your tubes are dodgy so have ordered some of those until summer, when I can pick my own. From January going to make a significant effort towards losing weight. I comfort eat so I get depressed because I suck at growing babies, then gain weight which doesn't help my fertility so I comfort eat some more. Will give the conceive plus a go too. In the meantime, I will stuff my face with junk and try to have a Merry Christmas.

I'm just not feeling Christmassy. Dh has no presents from me & I'm just the ultimate Scrooge. I so thought I'd be pregnant by now. Ergh.

Me too ladies. I'm really pleased I don't have to go back to horrible job but it does mean I have literally no spare money for christmas. I can't believe it's yet another christmas and I'm not even a little bit pg.

And I have yet another uti and it hurts to wee. I am not impressed. :mad:

Awww Becca, have a big festive hug from me! And you Code and Tea! I'm still struggling a little to get the Christmas spirit, OH and I are off to watch a Christmas movie tonight and off shopping tomorrow so may feel more jolly after all that! Did most of my Christmas shopping online yesterday after panicking about the last posting dates! Just hope everything arrives on time! :eek: Feel bad because normally I'm really well organised and buy/make really great things for OH but he's got pretty bog standard gifts this year.

Birdie - if it makes you feel any better my OH has got a CD and a pair of slippers from me this year!
