Hi ladies,

For those of us out of the July game there are not many places to hide so I thought I'd start a new August thread to give us all some positive vibes!

Cycle 3 - BFP August 6th

whenshewas I really hope you're pregnant too Smile

woody17 · 08/08/2012 18:44

whenshewasbadshewashorrid I definitely got some symptoms at least that early. Fx for you.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 08/08/2012 18:36

newbie best of luck at the GPs on Friday.

goingbananas I have a 31 day cycle and tend to ovulate on cd17. It could be different for you though. Best if luck.

I really hope I am pregnant this month, cause I've got all the symptoms, tired (no make that exhausted), hungry all the time and I think my sense of smell is stronger. This is probably all in my head as I am only 6dpo and it is far too soon for any symptoms.

going bananas being overweight or under weight can affect conception, but if only the women who were a perfect BMI got pregnant the human race would die out. I haven't heard that you need to stay away from pasta, just that, as with rice and bread, you should switch to brown (wholegrain) instead of white as it healthier. Don't know if bananas help girls (they help sperm alright) but they do say to eat plenty of fruit and veg.

qazxc · 08/08/2012 14:32

33 Those sound like like hopeful signs to me, Good luck.
weechops don't discourage too soon, it's not over till AF arrives.
Have another 10 days before i can test. Don't know if i have symptoms or are imagining things as i want it so badly. I have a 40 day cycle so if this month isn't the month, I'll have to wait til October. That's when my baby would have been due so I think I would find it quite hard.

goingbananas30 · 08/08/2012 12:49

I was reading something about staying away from some particular foods..... pasta, noodles etc, how true is this? Also, can ones weight affect conception? i weigh 47kg
.
Been eating bananas like crazy...lol! read it helps...

I'm pretty sure that it was accurate the month I did get pg. I haven't been able to use it since as I'm on the wtf cycle after a mc so have no idea about af dates etc!

goingbananas30 · 08/08/2012 10:41

I hope the GP finds a solution for you. i will be saying a prayer for you.

Thanks for helping i'd go check fertilityfriend.com

woody17 · 08/08/2012 10:38

It's possible, I might have post-pill amenorrhea, going to GP on Friday to investigate Hmm. Sorry don't know about your cycle length. There are loads of apps and fertility friend.com should be able to give you a better idea to help you work it out.

quick question, if i have a 31day cycle what CD am i likely to OV?

goingbananas30 · 08/08/2012 10:21

Here is me hoping i get lucky BFP and not need to buy the CB...

Is that normal? i mean not having AF.... wishing you AF as you desire and you can also have mine (if u dont mind).... Smile

Charting temps is tricky because you have do it the same time everyday which means no lie ins on the weekend. I use CB OV sticks and the CBFM (even though I'm not meant to because AF hasn't arrive post pill). I should be going into cycle 4 now but it's been 97 days since coming off the pill and I still haven't had a period Angry

goingbananas30 · 08/08/2012 10:03

Thank you Newbie, that sure helped. Grin

Been trying for 4months now, as for knowing when i ov, i have an app that monitors and some calender on the internet. I use internet cheapies, i cant afford to use CB since i test twice a day after CD10.

I just cant get the hang of CM and bbt Confused. My cycle moved from 28days to 31days and my GP says i should ovulate on CD17 but i should add 2 extra days..... I am hoping and praying hard for a BFP.........

Oh and you're probably not ovulating when you think you're?! How long have you been trying for? And which sticks are you using?

Hello goingbananas I like your name! I also panic that no matter how long I wave legs in air some swimmers almost always leak. I've read numerous articles and everyone of them says this is normal. I guess what goes up must come down! They say the fighters swim to the cervix straight away so I think we're safe!

goingbananas30 · 08/08/2012 08:44

Morning everyone, Smile

Can i join as well? Grabs cushion and sits.

Ok, i have a few questions i need answers for... DH and i are actively ttc, i am supposed to ovulate this week but after poas i still dont have a double line. Is that normal? Also, after DH puts his swimmers in, i have legs in the air for 30mins and i lie still for another hour but wen i get up i still drip............. someone, anybody pls help cos i am going crazy.

Great day.

winkle2 · 07/08/2012 22:58

Add cd17 to my list ;)

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 07/08/2012 22:54

Sorry for all the BFNs.

woody17 · 07/08/2012 16:52

FX that you get a bfp soon weechops

winkle2 · 07/08/2012 16:51

Hi all

Been keeping busy with work and life so haven't been on much.

Monitor has gone back to low today but we're going to keep DTD. Currently on CD17 and have so far DTD CD9, 12, 14, 15.

No wonder I'm confused: monitor said I ov'd on Cd14 or 15, IPeriod says CD20 and Period Tracker says CD24!

SunshineOutdoors · 07/08/2012 16:48

Looking at your last post though your cycle might be longer than 28 days so you might not be ready to test yet. Fx for you Smile

SunshineOutdoors · 07/08/2012 16:46

Sorry about the bfn weechops. It sucks Sad

It isn't actually over 'til af comes though. Here's hoping you're pg, but if not then I hope af comes soon so that you can get on with the next cycle

weechops · 07/08/2012 15:45

cd28 today and af due today (im guessing as cycle was 28 last month, but 40 the month before - 1st one since stopping the pill) No sign of her yet but tested this morning and BFN :(
