Hi girls,

Does anyone have any pics of getting EW to float using some mesh and please could you talk me through the process.

Oh and where have you bought your ph testers from and the calibrating solutions? x

Threelittlemen - Praying you got or get a BFP this morning!! fingers crossed.

cars - I'm really glad you got your EW to float. Did you do what maybebaby did? I'm going to give it a go when my microscope gets here. I hope it works for me to. Thats if I didnt O last night, might be too late!

Cat - On the EGS forum theres a thread for pictures maybebaby posted some pictures that really help on there. I haven't done it yet so cant help much sorry. You can get the hannas on E-bay. I have some links somewhere for the solutions I will have a look.

That's great, thank you so much!

How much of all the supplements is everyone taking?  I was wondering whether it would hurt to take more cranberry and calcium than as stated in the faq.  Obviously if more calcium was taken this would mean the 2:1 ratio for magnesium wouldn't work but I've read a few people saying that they really believed calcium helped their sway. 

 

Cat - I think you can take more cranberry than in the faq but be sure to watch out that your not bruising easily or bleeding alot when you get a cut as it can thin the blood too much. I'm not sure about how much more calcium you should take as it can contribute to kidney stones. Also the Calcium really upset my tummy and digestive system so I upped it gradually. I always type it in google aswell to see what other websites say about certan amounts of vitamins and minerals can do to you. I think the most important thing is listen to your body. If you using a digital reader you dont need to worry about the 2:1 ratio.

Sorry for waffling there.

Sorry for waffling there.

You're not waffling at all, I really appreciate your advice.

Why does the 2:1 ratio not matter if you use a digital tester?

Are you taking the cranberry tabs from Superdrug?  x

Hello again,

I'm not sure why it doesn't matter to be honest, I think you need ionc strentgh to use the ph strips but for some reason it doesnt matter with digital reader. Yeah im using the supps from superdrug . I would take 2 if I needed to but so far 1 a day is doing the trick. How much mag are you taking?

Hi girls

Hope you have all had a nice day today!

So for me today is rubbish, 21 dpo and a great BIG FAT NEGATIVE test, i am so fed up, i feel frustrated with my body, why cant it do what its supposed to, i accept i am prob not pregnant, i am not obsessing over everything, i'm not thinking about it every minute of the day, i'm not unduly stressed, and today i have eaten several things i shouldn't have so what is going on[:'(].  I dont know what to do, i'm so tired, if i go to docs what are they gonna do prob nothing!!!!!  I think i will wait and see if no AF by wknd then docs on monday as i will be very very very very late then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

xx

Hi threelittlemen,

Sorry about your BFN. When did you O? How long is you LP usually? It is odd isnt. I think you should def. go to the docs if AF isnt here by the weekend. I hope you get some answers soon.

I have had a packet of crisps today so maybe it is something in the air!

I think I O'ed on CD 25 at some point, FF thinks i O'ed on CD26 but i chnaged my info so my cross lines changed from CD26 to CD25, we BD on CD23 and CD26 very early in the morn when cervix was low firm and closed.  Over the last few cycles well since Jan this year, my LP has ranged from 12 days to the max 15 days and here i am at 21 days its crazy, stupid and so frsutrating, its so hard not to get your hopes u, there was a part of me this morn that just expected BFP as its been so long, i know i have been unwell, but i have been better since friday last week so i cant see why AF would still be delayed!!  Do you know what i don't care whether AF arrives i just need something to happen, at least if she arrives i can start planning agagin, my mum has said she will come to the docs with me as hse sufferes with PCOS and knows how i am feeling.

threelittlemenandcounting i am so sorry for your bfn .

I to seem to be eating the wrong things but have no idea what my cycle is doing so will be verystrict as soon as af shows ! x
