    hello ladies... im on cd2 today, wishing af would hurry up & leave already! im sort of 'pushing' down there to empty my uterus quicker! i think its working as it looks like it'll be a day or 2 before she leaves!

    oh i must say a big CONGRATS to our ladies who've achieved BFPs this week - Bettyboop, WTH - i think thats all?

    i missed out a lot in just a few days! better stay on from now on! hope there'll be a chain of BFPs happening throughout the coming month!



    jen: im praying its a bfp for you! your chart looks very promising! please test quickly with a good hpt! oh yeah so how does your poop smell at the moment? sort of pungent & sweet? hope so!

    acria: sorry about af too im on blackmores conceive well atm, not sure if it helps though, but i was taking elevit before it & i think that elevit didnt have enough vitamins for conception... maybe you should switch too? it wouldnt hurt to try it hey! it has b6 in it too, but not too much i dont think that might stuff up your cycle... after mc your cycle does go funny... my af's got a funny lighter colour to it, it used to be very red, now it's sort of funny.. cant explain it.. how many cycles are you since mc? hope you feel better soon...

    pbstar: my cycles now stuffed up cos of the mc d&c - did you have natural mc or d&c & was you cycle always 31 days before? mine was 28 days due to being on the pill, now my first cycle is 35 days! i shudder to think how long this cycle will be... im going to a chinese herbalist tonight to get me checked out & some chinese herbs for me to cook & drink - im hoping to ask him to make my cycle this time shorter & get me preggers sooner! i hope it will work. have you tried chinese herbs before & how are you finding it??

    toccara: im trying to be like you and see af as a good thing! im over it now, was pretty down few days ago.. but im trying to make a april baby - hopefully as a birthday present, seeing as how i lost my angel a few days after my bday this year... im hoping you caught the egg!

    nickster: thanks for coming back to give us hope! sticky vibes sticky vibes...

    pbstar - thanks for telling me about your experience it helps to hear the most information possible Let me know how it goes with getting to a 28 day cycle, I'd love one! A woman I know who is a midwife recommended a naturopath in town..maybe I should make an appointment. Has anyone seen a naturopath? What do they do and what sort of costs can I expect?

    Vanaithi - Well I talked to DH about it, and he's as desperate for a baby as I am, so doesn't mind the cost of swapping supplements, so it looks like I'll be changing over to Blackmores Concieve Well also! My m/c was last June, and I didn't keep track of my cycles for a while afterwards, but since I've been taking notice, they've been shortish with a strange AF.

    Looks like AF is feeling like being here more. I'm having some cramps and a slightly heavier flow. I just love my cups of tea, but I'm so worried about the caffiene content. Oh dear.

    acria: i spoke to a lady who went to a healer (?) naturopath (?) and apparently crystals - rose quartz kept close to your body at all times, smokey quartz next to the bed during bding, & eating a carrot & a banana a day will get you pg! im thinking of trying this as well, once i figure out where i can get crystals. wouldnt hurt - need all the help you can get hey! also i heard accupunture can help too. which i am might try as a last resort. if you do decide to go to a naturopath, please let me know how that goes!

    I'm willing to try anything! I have some crystals my grandfather gave me, so I'll grab the rose one and keep it in my pocket or something, and place the smokey one on the bedside table. Bananas and carrots, here I come! I've heard acupuncture is good as well. I think we'll try one more cycle 'on our own', and then see this naturopath. I'll use this month, 25 days, however long this next cycle decides to be, to drop some weight as well, as I'm sure being 40kg overweight is certainly not helping!

    Hi All,

    Just touching base.

    Jen- you made me laugh being up so early in the morning, now that's true dedication to BB.

    Acria - I have also had weird cycles since I came off the pill. Only last month AF was on again, off again - very bizarre, unfortunately a BFN in the end.

    Since I have been testing for Ov I have found I Ov on day 17 ! and therefore the LP is only 11 days long. As for the B6 - how much are people taking?? I have an awesome multivitamin which actually has quite high levels so dont want to take too much of one thing (50mg a day). I must have a look on the net.

    AFM - I am away until Sunday (although i will have a peek tomorrow at work) at a conference so hope to see more BFP when I come back Sunday night. Must remember to pack my thermometer.

    Sending to you all
