Hi There ladies!

sorry been AWOL (except for posting the lists) ive not written for a few days.

Huge congrats loudfish:D:j

Claretsgirl: Im glad you are starting to feel better. x

Sweet potato: sorry i can not help - i have no experience with Clomid - maybe pop over to the 12+ board someone there may be able to help you.

Jay - Ive just told my OH - we will be trying the SMEP next month (if unsuccessful this month) Hope you OH is ok btw?

AFM:

Im also TTC #1 - I got to 30 and thought it was time to grow up (i still dont feel 30, always wanted a family but i still dont see myself as grown up enough. but OH is 36 - so thought we had better start sooner rather than later). I take 5mg of folic acid ( prescribed by GP due to spinabifida in my family) also take the preconception vitamins, OH takes the male version too. I was taking Angus castus but im not convinced it did anything so stopped.

so ive put myself on at 1DPO - after 15 days of High (and no peak) on my CBFM, today i had a low - so previous patterns show i have a further 1 day of high following ovulation - so i just guessed it - pretty sure its a anovulatory cycle, so not holding my breath this month. anyone have any ideas what other vitamins can make you ovulate earlier? ive only tried angus castus - which didnt work.

hope everyone is well. I have to work all weekend, so no friday feeling for me :-(

Soy isoflavones works like magic for me. I ovulate on day 13, and it beings it to day 9! Far too soon really, I can't see how a good egg develops in that time. I only did it twice.

Tesco sell the best high strength low cost ones, but they are hard to find. Check the strength as the h&b ones are expensive but very little actual soy in them

Not a vitamin but lunaception can help with that. Don't know if you've tried it but it works like this.

Ideally, you'll want to make your bedroom as dark as possible - if you can see your hand in front of your face, it's too light. If this is not possible, a sleep mask will suffice. Sleep in total darkness until CD12, then crack open the blinds or take off the mask for 4 days (you want to mimic the full moon). Then back to sleeping in darkness. Make sure you get at least 30 minutes of natural daylight. The idea is that your cycle should be regulated naturally by moonlight, but streetlights mess with that. Sounds totally hippy dippy but weirdly, it does work. I've not been doing it for a while (no point really) and my cycles are definitely more erratic.

Another thing that can help is fertility self-massage. There are youtube videos that show you how. Might be a coincidence, but the month I did that I ovulated at CD14, and I normally ovulate on CD20 at the earliest.

I am wondering if I have ovulated a couple of days early this month. I have not had ewcm but I don't seem to really get it...I have had VERY watery, slippery cm though for a few days, until today when it has dried up completely. As I am not using any other methods to track this month I don't really know. Just have to wait and see I suppose. Feel a bit fed up because of hubby being away probably coinciding with ov this month....feels rubbish to have a 'wasted' month.

Because of not really getting any/much ewcm I keep being really worried that I just do not ovulate. We'll give it a couple more months and if I am still not pg by the time we get back from holiday in April I will go back to all the temping, cbfm etc - then I guess it will be clearer if I am or am not ovulating.

Anyway, I have a friend coming round tonight and we are going to make pizza and cocktails...looking forward to it. I guess I would not be able to have cocktails if I was pg!

Oh also meant to add...have worked out that hubby will be away in the US on business the week that af is due so I will be all miserable on my own without even him to comfort me! Boo.

Sorry for the rant everyone!

So just found out my SIL is pregnant. Even though I knew it would happen I ended up bursting into tears when my Mum told me. Obviously she then wanted to know why I was crying and I sounded like a brat with the 'lifes not fair, they are younger and have no money' speech.

Going to be a difficult year I think

kellykins

CD1 today.

Have got my lap for the polyps at the end of the month. While they do this the dye test for my tubes will be done so that will be the last of the tests. Hoping that after this it may increase my chances of getting pregnant. Trying to get some hope.

Hugs Tia xxx

Thanks for the lists Kelly.

I'm feeling very emotional at the mo, just had a big cry on hubbys shoulder & then ran off & was sick in the loo. God knows why but he half wispered....You're not pregnant are you? No I'm not. Probably a sign AF is on her way, have my appt on monday when I'll be prescribed Clomid. Think it's all playing on my mind more than I realised.
