Trying for a Baby Part 9

All the recipes sound lovely, courgettes just seem to thrive in my garden

Happy Birthday Loveactually, I'm 6 months older than you

I'm SS all over the place, last night I was unwell, I've obviously eaten something funny, and well... you know.. toilets trips aplenty!!! However, while I was lying about clutching my tummy I was googling my symptoms on my phone as possible early pregnancy symptoms.. ARGG! IDIOT!!

Sorry Mrstm for CD2. Your pantry looks amazing so tidy too.

Just wondering if anyone is taking folic acid while TTC?

I'm unfortunately a food hoarder (this is part of the reason I go to therapy), but I can't stand an untidy food storage area. Growing up we had a much smaller pantry, more of a closet really, but everything was packed in. Even when I tried to organise it, things would get moved around and more stuff shoved in until you really couldn't find anything. I make sure everything is labelled (not much worse than playing the '!!!!!! is this?!' when you're trying to make dinner!) and I try to keep it clean. DH knows that unless I ask him to hand me something, stay out of my pantry!

Also, I'm taking folic acid. I definitely do not eat enough greens to get my minimum, much less enough for ttc or a healthy pregnancy.

Disney, the recommendation is to take folic acid from 3 months before you start trying to conceive. It's something the baby would need in the very first weeks, potentially before you even know you're pregnant, so something everyone on this thread should really be taking. It's a major factor in reducing the risk of things like spina bifida and cerebral palsy etc. The NHS has a page on it specially, if you want more info.

Fannyanna, I had a similar ordeal trying to sort my HSG - in the end I rung my FS secretary in frustration, who was lovely & sore to the FS, got me an appointment with the FS really quickly, who prescribed norithisterone and sorted out the issues I was having with the awkward xray department. It's definitely worth giving them a call...? Good luck. (As an aside, my cycle lengths have never been so good since I was on norithisterone! It's like it regulated my cycles for me)

I have a fairly balanced diet with fruit and veg but the folic acid isn't going to do any damage so maybe I will start taking it.

We all have things our other halfs aren't allowed near lol.

My passport with my married name arrived today,can't believe I've only got 6 weeks!

Still hot here and don't think we have had any rain!

Loveactually

Thanks all for your wishes:o

I also take folic acid but in form of conceiving vitamins last two months I used santogen for couples both for me and DH, but this month I shifted to pregnacare conception.

I also used Preseed first time this month. It's expensive :eek:

159 - are you sure you ovulated when you thought you did?

I'm pretty certain... Was doing opks from day cd10 - 20 and cd16 was the only day I got a high. Have been very regular with 14 day lp. I don't temp as I work shifts so never awake the same time. Just have to wait and see I suppose.
Is it possible the hot weather is messing me around?!

fannyanna sorry to hear you didn't get the help you wanted from your gp.

Happy Birthday loveactually!

Kellykins hope you do get a BFP for your 30th

Mrs_T_M amazing pantry - has made me hungry!
