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

Hi everyone. I am really confused - have been having quite a lot of cm - it's been very slippery and watery. Yesterday I had a tiny amount of pinky tinged cm and then a bit later when I wiped it was a bit browny. Have been having cramps and twinges. But up until Sat morning I was getting +ve preg tests (although incredible faint lines - almost invisible) so I just don't know what's going on. Some people have told me that after a mc you won't ov again until tests are -ve but then some say that hgc levels can be low enough to ov but still get v v v faint +ve lines. I think I am just overanalysing everything because I am so desperate to be pg again or at least even have the chance to be pg again!

Hello all
May I join in please? Totally new to this, month 1 of ttc, and I think my BFP day should be 26th August. Have a feeling I am going to over analyse everything, so would be good to have some company while I do! :)

winkle2 · 29/07/2012 21:07

Whenshewasbad - that's lovely news for your cousin.

Hellokitty - hopefully this a lucky month for both of us! We're really going for it this month. Annoying I have no idea when I OV do have to dtd eod from tomorrow for 3 weeks - will be knackered! Good luck to your oh on his sample too.

hellokittydrivesmenuts · 29/07/2012 20:40

Winkle hello there fancy meeting everywhere :-) think we ate destined for our bfp's together :-)
Let us know how your dp test goes my dp is 14th I delayed by a week as was over the vital time lol and could not bare missing a month ;-) still now on month 16/17 ! How you feeling? Hope you all get some bfps !!! Whenshewas- hope today went ok for you with the news ! I was at a party where clearly only pregnant peeps were allowed lol I gate crashed!!! X

NicolaHazel · 29/07/2012 20:13

Apparently you can spot with OV. I did last month, but didn't this. So I looked it up then :-)

SunshineOutdoors · 29/07/2012 20:05

Hi, my temp hasn't changed yet but today I got a very very tiny amount of bright red blood spotting, literally just a couple of spots on the toilet roll when I wiped. I remember it happening last month as well, but I can't remember exactly when. Is it likely to have anything to do with ov?

kittykatsforever · 29/07/2012 20:00

Ah whenshewas atleast she confided in someone who would have empathy with her and listen rather then just say well you probably relaxed and stoped thinking about it........ La de la
Did you tell her you were trying aswel? X

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 29/07/2012 19:54

winkle fx for your dh's sperm count.

My cousin is pregnant and I am so happy for her. It turns out she was havIng trouble ttc for a year and a half (really hope she isn't on this thread or I have just outed the two of us). Won't go into the details but she has had a horrible time, wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Sheep2345 · 29/07/2012 19:37

It's getting exciting in here as August creeps up on us, Looking forward to keeping check on all the BFP's!

Pesky July AF has not aarived yet so may have to edit my date when/if she arrives, only day 29 but am a 28 day girl!
If she does not come soon I will be out of the August thread with all you lovelies and will have to find/start a September one!
Oh the waiting game Sad Still, have bought lots of internet cheapie OPK's as consolation!

toffeesam · 29/07/2012 15:27

I'm aiming for August.

Aran I don't use the sticks, just get a lot in over the 'feritle week', and either side just for good measure. when i spoke with the doctor he asked me what method i was using and i said we were "going at it a bit gung ho."

After he stopped laughing, he said that it was a good approach. It's not worked yet though. trying for a year but only started working out my ovulation in the last 6 months.

winkle2 · 29/07/2012 14:26

hello all

welcome hellokitty - recognise you from another thread :)

havent been around much. wish I could say its because I've been doing loads of shagging but we havent had sex in a month! not good for someone TTC!

Currently on CD8 so will start EOD from tomorrow.

Hubby had his sperm analysis on Friday so we're expecting the results this week.

Hope everyone's ok :)

SunshineOutdoors · 29/07/2012 13:43

I think I just try to help people not test too early because I know what a head fuck it is. Not trying to be smug and annoying and yes I have tested too early myself but just trying to save someone else the disappointment and lack of certainty testing early brings.

But I do know how hard it is and once you've got it in your head you have to test really.

jessiethecowgirl · 29/07/2012 13:18

I understand the testing early thing, I have always done it lol. Although once I do it I'm pretty good at waiting the 48 hours to retest, etc.

2 weeks is just too long!! I'm currently 2dpo and can't believe how long I have to wait to poas sigh... I will enjoy hearing about all the BFPs to come over the next few weeks :) fx to everyone!

Zeux sorry to hear that you're out this month re: employment stuff. Hopefully it all works out for you!

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 29/07/2012 13:04

dexi I think newbie is right. I always try to test later on but regularly cave and test stupidly early.

I have a few preg tests in the house but dh has hidden them so I will have to explain myself to him before I can poas.

hellokittydrivesmenuts · 29/07/2012 13:01

Hi all good luck in your missions for August bfp's , may I join you all to stop the insanity for the month? X

Newbie2 · 29/07/2012 12:02

Oh Dex you're not a wolly! You're just very keen to be pregnant! You're not alone as well! I too brought a twin pack yesterday and got a BFN. Don't let MN users pursuade you when you should test. It's actually starting to bug me now when people say 'you tested too early' Yes it's a waste of money and Yes it might have been too early but at least you yourself know now and can move on with te next DtD plan :) if you want to spend your hard earn cash on 10000s of pregnant tests go for it! I bet the ones who say its too early secretly have done it themselves :)

letsdothisthing · 29/07/2012 12:00

Oh sorry Dexi, hope its too early for you and fx that AF stays away!!

Dexidoo · 29/07/2012 11:21

Stupid stupid stupid POAS this morning and BFN (10dpo) I don't need anyone else to tell me I'm a wally.

Bought a twin pack FRER yesterday afternoon (after a couple of glasses of wine it seemed like a good idea)

I am not using the other one until next Saturday unless the witch gets me.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 29/07/2012 07:05

Hi kitty. Sorry to hear about your dd. it is exhausting when they don't sleep, not that mine has ever slept well.

kittykatsforever · 29/07/2012 06:14

I think that's the way to look at it whenshewas , I guess we never know others struggles and if she had problems, sounds like she's lovely and fx you get updiffed as it Is great when you do have cousins the same age!
My dd has decided to become a normal baby recently as she has a cough and has been up since 5 both the last nights aswell Sad

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 29/07/2012 05:30

Oops missed out kitty sorry been up since 4.30am with sick dd.

To be completely fair to my cousin, when I got pregnant two years ago I announced it on her hen do (didn't have much choice the not drinking would not have gone unnoticed). I was of course then a pregnant bridesmaid at her wedding.

She couldn't have been nicer about it, made sure I was left alone to have a sleep in the day during the hen do (it was abroad). She was so sweet not a hint of bridezilla. That's why I feel guilty for feeling jealous. She is lovely, the family has been wondering if she would be getting pregnant and I can see why she wants a bit of fuss.

Actually she could have been having a nightmare time ttc since the wedding.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 29/07/2012 05:23

newbie wishful sunshine fatas thanks for the messages. I agree I am really glad she has "spoilt" the surprise. Don't like feeling jealous, I love my cousin and else will be a great mum. Not really sure how you announce a pregnancy sensitively (especially when she doesn't know I am ttc at the moment).

This could work out really well if I could get pregnant quite soon our kids would be a similar age. Would prefer the lottery win though. Grin

SunshineOutdoors · 29/07/2012 04:52

Hi Zeux I hope things go your way at work. And in the nicest possible way, I hope none of us are on the September thread Grin but if I am I'll look out for you -although if I miss august I might be bloody October thanks to my stupid long cycle

Zeuxippe · 28/07/2012 16:19

Hi everyone! Hope you're having a lovely weekend.
