No I was on 5mg letrozole (ovulation onduction as don't ovulate on my own properly) which produced loads of follicles but no ovulation so I had trigger. We bd 4 nights in a row (night before trigger, night of then next 2 nights). I know I wouldn't have got pg without it. Really hope it works for you, will be keeping everything crossed x

See im on ov induction and only produced 1 follie after losing my lining after a month with nothing happening but grew another lining.feeling all out of sorts after the pregngl.hope its a good sign.

Hugs credit crunch, my DH says the same things. I hate it, but I am also glad that he seems so sure it will happen.

I think the desire to get pg after a miscarriage is very strong, maybe it's a sort of healing mechanism. It is okay to have fears, because it's such a big thing. And also to be impatient - after all, we are not where we expected to be. I hope that you get your rainbow baby soon.

I looked at the smep online, but the chances of DH and I DTD three nights in a row are non-existent!!

Ah three nights in a row, we could almost do that. But the doctor the other day recommended to us doing it 10 days in a row!!!! :eek::eek::eek:. I think my hubbies bits would fall off if we did it that much.


Don't think he quite understood as well that I know all about when to dtd, all the symptoms of ov etc etc. His idea was to have complete abstinence from cd1 til cd10-ish, dtd for 10 days everyday, and then complete abstinence again until AF. That was though if you were working on a 'normal' cycle, ie ov at around cd16.
But I though that men weren't meant to go for complete abstinence for so long as the sperm just died or got lazy. Will have to watch the Great Sperm Race again. Either that or I'm imaging it again.

:mad: no sign of af:mad: !! Really hoped the twinges from yesterday would turn into af but nothing.

Hus to those on cd1 and hugs to those having a hard time at the moment.

Well my good intentions of walking a bit of the way to work and eating healthier lunches have all went to pot yesterday, didn't have time to walk to the next station on either the way to or from work, and ended up going for a pub lunch with a colleague and picking something completely unhealthy. My colleague sais it looks like I have started to lose weight from the extra effort I had been putting in, so maybe it is starting to make a difference. I don't actually have scales at home so I have no way of knowing, I feel a bit slimmer but that could be psychological.

Then I get home to discover OH hasn't made any dinner or defrosted anything to cook, so we ended up ordering pizza, we did go through Quidco so at least there's a few pence cashback to look forward too :rotfl:

We were supposed to BD last night, but I fell asleep settling DS1 in bed and OH didn't wake me up despite me telling him that he was to wake me up if that happened :mad: So, I'm not holding out any hope we'll get pregnant this cycle.

We have BD today, but I was wanting to do it a minimum of every 2 days, not 3, and this is probably my most fertile week. Hopefully we'll be able to BD tomorrow and Monday night. I cooked dinner this evening so at least I've not hand junk again, although I have had 2 chocolate bars today!

Hugs to all those that need them.

can I please be updated to cd2 please?
going to see dr this thurs.
its my 5th cycle since my MC & our 11th cycle TTC in general.

Not quite sure what my doc will say or do,but right now I just need some re assurance!
I have got mouth ulcers, break out of spots on my face & neck & a horrible cold! I am making myself sick with TTC! not to mention silly arguments with OH - him telling me not to think about TTC & it will happen - you know the same lines people say to you over & over again

I know he means well but I hear it from everyone & i thought he would know not to come off with the clich!s!

Thats my rant over lol :rotfl:
My friend told me about the sperm meets the egg plan - have any of you heard about it?

Hello there - I've also had loads of minor things wrong since my loss in June - UTIs, other infections, anaemia, bad skin, prone to everything going around. I've mentioned it to the GP who said it's probably a reaction to the stress that I've been through - it apparently can take 2-3 months to manifest itself, so just as you're starting to recover emotionally your body feels like it's dropping to pieces! I also think it takes our bodies a while to physically recover from miscarriages/loss, although that doesn't help when you desperately want a baby.

I went to see my GP as I don't believe I've ovulated since June, she's taken me seriously and sorted out cd21 blood tests to investigate and said if I'm not she'll refer me to a gynaecologist for clomid. Hope your GP is also sympathetic.

Ha. Nope. AF has FIRMLY arrived now! Although sad, actually glad to see her a teeny bit now as at least it doesnt mean all those scary things i read on Google!

Step away from Dr Google. It rarely leads anywhere good. (Although I have been known to type stuff like 9dpo, swollen feet in the hope it says I'm pregnant. It always does.)

Evening all.
Just had a lovely evening with a wonderful friend. Decide (or the wine decided) to discuss probs I'm having with getting pregnant and anxiety regarding going to fs. Was so nice to have someone to talk to and listen. She was fantastic - dont know what I was hesitant about.
Am thinking about taking B6 to extend lp based on this last month. Can I start at any time? And do I take every day?
Hope your all having a lovely weekend - all be it cold!

Just been looking at online ovulation predictors and it might not be too late for this cycle afterall :j

If I were to have a 28 day cycle (no idea what it is as only had one AF since stopping pill, and haven't had any in the last couple of years) then I should ovulate on 15th October.

Feeling sharp pains in my lower right abdomen, maybe I'm ovulating now? I'm so impatient!

We were NTNP when I got pregnant with DS1 so this is the first time I've ever been counting the days etc. We did try for 4 months earlier in the year that DS1 was conceived, but it was more a case of coming off the pill and hoping for the best. After 4 AFs I was getting upset that nothing was happening and I decided that it was never going to happen so went back on the pill to focus on my career, got a promotion, worked long hours so stopped taking the pill by accident, never had a AF but fell pregnant with DS1.

Feeling really broody at the moment, there seems to be a pregnancy or birth announcement at least once a week on my Facebook at the moment, and although I'm delighted for each an every one of them, I must admit I sit there thinking "why can't it be me".

I know a lot of you ladies have been trying much longer than I have, and I hope I'm not annoying you with my posts, but I haven't told anyone in RL that we trying for #2. A lot of people pass comment that it's about time we started trying for #2, but I don't want to tell them we are doing in case it's not so straightforward this time.
