Official Trying to Conceive - Thread 11

RebekahR

Well I *think* I have ovulated yesterday or day before ... with eccm's etc I think I will be put at 1DPO please ... I have no confirmation on fertility friend but I dont think I will this month. I have a very heavy cold and have spent the past week mouth breathing which has really affected my morning temperature taking.

Yup I got it on a ic. Then I used a superdrug cheapie at 12dop and a clear blue ... because they are cool ... at 14 dpo.

My names Rebekah and I'm addict ...

I only have 1 ic left from ttcing Jess - wonder if it will work lol. Better buy some more!

Ooh wouldn't it be lovely if you just needed that one from last time also, what's so cool about clear blue?

Will you all be doing tests with your OH? If not how will you tell him if and when it's a bfp?

Cheers for words of wisdom Mrs T M, it's good to hear from someone who's been there and done that! I can but try but it's worth knowing that good intentions go out the window when cravings rear their head:D

Hope everyone's had a good weekend and this week goes on nice and quick

My OH will be around when I do my test, I don't tend to tell him about the negative ones especially when they are pre AF due date. He would think I was mad the amount of time I spend POAS.
However if that one is negative on Friday I'm then away for a week so if AF doesn't show and I get a positive, I will have to FaceTime him to tell him.

Being away will be great though as it will totally distract you. Unfortunately I'm only away for the weekend lol x

More like still in the middle of it! I keep craving pepsi, but I have to limit my caffeine (recommended is 200mg or under per day, but I like to stay at half that due to my history of blood clots!).

Also, on the subject of B6, I took and am still taking a B-complex tablet that I pick up at Aldi of all places. One per day, keeps your B-6 and B-12 better balanced, helped lengthen my lp from 10 to 14 days, and as an added plus, it can help with morning sickness after you get your BFP! B-vitamins are water soluble, so any that your body doesn't need will come out in your wee. Makes for some spectacularly neon yellow or orange wee at times!

Also, for anyone who takes a multi-vitamin, check what type of vitamin A is in it. It's not an issue until after you get your BFP, but once the placenta forms, the vitamin A needs to be beta-carotene based instead of animal based. Most prenatals have beta-carotene , which your body turns into vitamin A. Too much vitamin A in baby can lead to vitamin A toxicity, but it is rare.

Just trying to pass on helpful info, take it or leave it as you will.

Yes and no. I'm too terrified lol. Clearblue gives you a clear pregnant not pregnant in words and also the weeks! 1-2 ... 2-3 ... 3+

I dont test with him as he doesnt care. I showed him a test in his face and he just gave me a so what look and didnt say anything. Think it scared him half to death :rotfl:

I just waved it under his nose one morning think it was the 12 dpo one lol.

I know I'm totally romanticising and day-dreaming now, but me and OH will have been together 10 years on Tuesday. Wouldn't that be a great day for a BFP!!

Well, started spotting last night and AF in full flow this morning:(

So can I be updated to CD1please?

The moral of the story is throw away your tests after the 10 minute mark!

Thanks for your take on the B6 stuff. I've started taking 1 50mg B6 and a B complex today. Do you know what your doses were?

On the plus side my LP went up to 11 days so hopefully I shouldn't need to increase it much more to have some success. Also trying reflexology on Wednesday.
