Aiming for August 2012 BFP!!

hello ladies, how are we doing? anyone else opk positive at the moment?

I've been tracking my cycles for a year. They have averaged around 33 days. This is the longest cycle so I'm hoping it's a fluky one off! My fertility monitor gave me a peak at cd13 which was early for me... So who knows?!!

Went to the docs yesterday about it and he's sent me for tests as we've been trying for a year.

Sorry, just seen you said normally around a 33 day cycle

Gosh, 39 days. I've had the occasional really long cycle like that, but only when I've been totally stressed. Do you often get long cycles? Or perhaps you could have ov'd very late?

Hope you're ok

Def not preggers :(

good luck miarosemum - keep up the good work for another couple of days.

winkle - hopefully just a one off funny cycle for you, your body getting things out of it's system before your bfp. Still very frustrating for you though when you just want to crack on with the baby making

thanks winkle, must be so frustrating having a long cycle and not knowing where you are...def not preggers?

Miarosemum - I say keep dtd every other day to cover you - good luck!

Bodi - my cycles are usually regular-ish around 33 days-ish so not sure what the hell is going on this month!!

hi winkle,

i'm in no mans land as have really irregular cycle - currently peeing on ov sticks twice a day everyday (facing dehydration and going insane) - hoping one will show a +ve at some point in the not too distant future. Based on last month could be 36 d cycle, based on 2 years ago could be 6 month cycle. Fx for us that we get a +ve ov soon.

hello all..can i join please! ttc for second, got one dd five years old but struggling for the last year to get a bfp this time around.. we have been just shagging for the last year taking things easy not really taking notice of fertile days etc but not getting us anywhere so we are now doing a little bit of planning..so have a 30 day cycle, 1st day of cycle this time round was 5th july so am on cycle day 13, have been doing opk since day 10 and got a positive yesterday and another today. so on day 11 and day 13 we did the deed, (not sure of acronym for this!). words of wisdom please, shall we do the deed tonight as well and till when? af due 4th august x

Zeuxippe ? I'm not sure if you know my history but I'm currently on CD39 of my previous cycle and have no idea if AF will arrive (she's about a week late). So I'm dusting myself off and telling myself that AF didn't arrive last month and it's a new cycle.

So therefore I cant add myself to the list as I don't really have any idea of whats going on!

Hello winkle! Are you ready for August ttc? And do you want to add yourself to the list?

hellllooooooooooooooo

anybody here?

It's the final countdown!
Copper Coil comes out later today, no going back!
Am sat at my desk all nervous and excited and waiting for 5.30pm.

Am I ready for this?!?! Will I ever be?!?!?!

Only one way to find out

Ok my TTC madness has officially started! Even though we aren't officially starting to try until the next cycle am feeling queasy and now convinced I have early morning sickness!!

Surely this cannot be..

doh - supposed to say little! Trying to do them twice a day but what with the 4 hours no drinking/going to toilet before makes it pretty hard going - will get dehydrated at this rate! Will keep going with the sticks and hopefully at some point will show a positive for ov - who knows when the hell that might be! So frustrating having an irregular cycle and never knowing what's going on!

Is a lottle a mixture of alot and a little to be in between??
I think they do go darker, if it's the cheep ones I'd maybe do another later or in between when you do them just to check but it should be as dark or darker for a positive

I'm using the one step sticks too and get a very faint line normally but today line looks a lottle darker but not darker than the contral. Does anyone know if they gradually get darker when you're coming up to ov and then a big fat strong line on the big day? Very irregular cycles so really don't want to miss it!

frustrated pants - i know what you mean dh knows far too much about my cyle to be healthy, take sthe romance out of things but at least you're open with each other!

Hi all. Joining from July thread, ttc #1 cycle 6 BFP due11/12 August, age 29. Anyone know how to copy paste on a galaxy tab?

Definitely upping the ante this month. Told DH we must dtd eod or else! Plus i am going to start the 30 day shred to lose some weight and cut out the mid week glass of wine!

4 friends are expecting! All conceived month1 lucky people!

I am also on the clearblue trial, this will be next month now. Hopefully i won't need it!

Only when TTC does a conversation run like the following;
Frustrated: I feel sick
Mr F: are you pregnant?
Frustrated: no, it's too early anyway
Mr F: how do you know you might be
Frustrated: because I'm not due to O until tomorrow

Since when did conversations in my house sound like this? Please tell me it's not just me?

I have used OPK in the past but the main problem I have is that in one month I ovulated on CD12 then the following month I ovulated on CD 29/30. It means that the cheapies are the only option for me (plus I am outside UK in a country where such things are difficult to get hold of and amazon don't deliver here!) so now I have kinda given up on using them. The EOD method is also a struggle when the window is potentially 3 weeks, it's just too much!! So this month I am trying to relax DTD when we want/when CM is EW, and I have now told myself that I would like to be pregnant this time next year (obviously preferably about to drop, but if not then hey ho) rather than telling myself I want to be pregnant right now, as the pressure/ roller coaster of emotions is just unbearable.

Now lets take bets on how many days it takes me to start behaving like a woman possessed and the whole of the above goes flying out of the window

Hey all (waves hello) I've been lurking for a wee while and stumbled on this thread and thought I'd join for some company & support :)

I'm on cycle #2 and expecting my BFP on August 7th.

Not charting or anything yet, just looking out for cm and think I'm gonna ov round about the 23rd.
This will be monster number 3 for us and my other 2 monsters were both conceived in the first month. Hoping this one won't take too long :)
love, weechops x

Hello everyone! I am dipping my toe in the August thread as next AF due end July/ start Aug depending on Ov date. Cycles have varied from 25-31 days ish.

Recognise a few 'faces'! We are TTC#1 I had my mirena out in Jan and in March decided to see what happens so we are now on 5th cycle. Did have a MC at 6 weeks in June so we more or less had a month off after but now ready to try again.

I have just started using some cheapy Ov sticks from eBay, not sure I hold much hope on them, they are thinner than a matchstick!! Anyway my CM appears fairly reliable, pretty sure I Ov on the last day I see EWCM as AF arrives 14 days later.

I will enter my stats once I know what length of cycle I'm likely to have :)

Hi,

I am using the cheapie amazon sticks too to start and hopefully at some point will get a darker line. I also have the CB digi monitor too incase there is an ambiguos line. I have pretty irregular cycle so using the cheapies to save money as could be going for a while. Does anyone know if your diet or anything can a affect these? I am just finishing a detox and was wondering?
