UK SMOG Wannabes ~ December

[deaks66]

Girls im such an f-ing idiot.... just dtd and then realised left femmecup in from testing cm! How on earth neither of us noticed. So a totally pointless attempt. Dh not feeling great but is trying to get on the mood for another go. All a bit stressful Seriously i am RUBBISH at ttc!!!!!

Sunset, sorry to hear family bein g insensetive. You will have your baby very soon so ignore them and enjoy this time.

Hi everyone else. Sorry not being very socialable but really feel i have ruined another month.

[Lavenderlime]

Deaks I feel I have ruined this month too given up on finding O as it's costing me a fortune in Ovulation test strips and cheapies have run dry and they are all really not there negatives, so not much LH about, cm is watery/creamy and there isn't much of it and no sign of O. It was stretchy at some point last week.

Think I probably missed my surge so then dawned on me I should have stopped taking cranberry sups after my attempt. I may have caught the egg but very much doubt it we DTD last night more for fun than an attempt because I really think O has been and gone. Also I've eaten some chocolate yesterday and today and felt really sick as a result and realised if I had caught the egg I shouln't be eating any sugar to keep my bloods low. No Xmas dinner or anything else off limits so just chocolate for two days and nothing much else..... really not healthy but it is acidifying (looking for silver lining...). Back on strict diet tomorrow in time for a really strong sway next week month.

Just want this week to hurry up so I can start a new month and fresh sway.

This is all a lot harder than just making a baby. Deaks hugs, if anyone deserves a DD after their BFP it's you. xx

Lavendar - sorry you don't know where you are this cycle. Sugary foods do not raise blood sugar though, so you don't need to worry about that. If anything, they help to keep blood sugar low as shortly after you've eaten them your blood sugar levels crash to lower than they were before you ate! That's why I became a fan of sweeties while I was swaying

Oh poor old us lavender! Not great for the christmas spirit! Feel like I have been down in the dumps all evening which isn't very fair on my family but don't think they have noticed. Blamed it on a headache. Dh and I managed to dtd again and really proud of him as he is feeling ill. Doubt much will come of either attempts as first one most of the sperm probably pulled out when I pulled the damn femme up out...stupid! And second attempt may well have been too late though I never noticed my cervix go particularly high or soft and cm still quite stretchy so probably haven't even ov yet though it has been 48hours since first opk so surely! Will see what temp does in morning. Does anyone know what how different an evening temp after rest would be to a morning temp? X

Zanacal that's the best news i've had all day !! Makes me hopeful if by some miracle I caught the egg and it was a little X there are good conditions going for a girl embryo to thrive in! Thank you x

[deaks66]

Oh and lavender, well done on being so good with the diet over Chrimbo! I have been about 20% strict!

[deaks66]

Can anyone tell me if the second batch of sperm after a long abstain will be as low in male sperm as the first batch 4 hours earlier?

It's hard isn't it Deaks when you've been working so hard towards something and with all best intentions things don't go to plan. Sigh... I hope there's some Christmas magic out there for us. I really hope you catch/caught the egg. Good on your DH what a trooper. I guess you just have to think there are typically 300-500 million sperm, in about 5 ml (1 tsp) of sperm and it only takes the one. big FX.. can't help with temps though sorry really should look into it and start though as will probably help with next months sway.

Thank you! Think it really helped cooking it I was so occupied with getting it all cooked and timings by the time it was all done and plated up for DP and the boys it wasn't tempted in the slightest then I just occupied myslef with clearing up the carnige in the kitchen so I could chill out on the sofa! My only vice in life really is chocolate!!

With the sperm thing I would have thought DH's sperm count would have been pretty low 4 hours after an intial release this is more based from logic than fact though.... so not really 100% sure.
