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

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 12/08/2012 17:05

It might be a little early 3little. Not really in any position to give any advice, I am 10dpo and just poas (no will power at all). It was bfn (Internet cheapy).

Really thought it might be positive, have been feeling shit all day (nausea, fatigue). I guess I just feel like shit.

3littlewomen · 12/08/2012 16:01

Oh and qazxc, I loved your negative control getting DH to POAS, must remember that one (though my DH is starting to contemplate how much we have spent POAS over the years)

3littlewomen · 12/08/2012 15:58

Hi ladies, well I gave in and tested this morning at 4am - BFN Sad

Though we are TTC # 5 I have never previously payed any attention to my cycle. I have had 2 AF since having mirena out, cycle 1 was 34 days and cycle 2 was 29 days. I am due based on an average cycle length of 32 days AF Friday 17th. Was I too early to take the FR test this morning? It is the six days as stated on the box?

Symptoms wise I am a crock.... Past two nights have not being able to sleep for deep pains and surface pains central in lower abdomen. I was awake a lot of last night..... Hence POAS at 4am. I have never had this before, but 5 years ago I had an emergency CS (GA, huge incision) andi wonder if this pain could be the adhesions? Maybe I am reading too much into this, but my boobs are killing me and I am so tired....

Well done to all the BFPs this month, and best of luck to all who have moved their hopes to September Smile

berri · 12/08/2012 14:21

Congrats to babyjames and qazxc - have you retested yet? A line is still a line :)

Grin at all the DHs/DPs - they don't have a clue do they, sigh!

frustratedpants · 12/08/2012 13:27

Grin weechops DH tried that on cd2 and wondered why I threatened to chop it off if he touched me glared at him.

weechops · 12/08/2012 13:14

qazxc sounds good

winkle woo go on girl dtd :)

My dh got a bit frisky this morning saying 'let's get this weechops3 made' Um not on cd5 we're not pal!

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 12/08/2012 12:19

quzxc the faint lines sound so good. 8 dpo is really early. Fx it all gets darker.

frustratedpants · 12/08/2012 11:20

Fx nicola
excited qazxc are you using first response? With dd I was getting faint lines for a week on FR before anything showed on CB.

frustratedpants · 12/08/2012 11:17

Hi tink
If you are averaging a 27 day cycle, your smiley face would be correct time wise, although maybe a day or 2 early and AF due around the 26-27th?

I read somewhere although cant remember where that "the days between O and AF is always 14 days." don't hold me to how reliable this is
But IME this can vary as last cycle mine was only 12 days, (OPK last month) which makes it hard to get a sticky iyswim. this month I've dropped the OPK and moved onto saliva ferning, and O is where I expected for a 27day cycle.

I think the easiest way is to work out the most fertile days for longest cycle and shortest cycle, and join them together to make one long fertile period.

tinkfairy · 12/08/2012 09:46

hi im hoping you ladies can help me, i got a positive on my cb smiley test last night and dtd my af due 27-29 th august. this morning my opk was negative, so i have had one this month. last month was longer than usual cycle as ov later than expected, but im confused this cycle. i have been tracking them now for nearly a year and 29 days is the longest and 25 the shortest any help and info will be great as reading through post you all have more experience than me. ps ttc #2 dc1 was conceived first month and is now 5

NicolaHazel · 12/08/2012 09:25

No AF yet...I've now moved when I think I OV'd, so I'm probably now 13dpo.

Will test tomorrow if no AF appears today. Don't feel particularly pre- menstrual.

When are you testing again qazxc?

threeleftfeet · 12/08/2012 09:22

congratulations babyjames!! Thanks

qazxc have you thought about using an early response one (or is that what you're using already?!) My line was much stronger with one of them.

qazxc · 12/08/2012 09:17

I'm 8 days DPO. tried again first thing this morning still a very faint line. will have to wait til i can do the digital cb for DP to be convinced. He says he doesn't want to get his hopes up which i understand but a little excitement wouldn't go amiss

winkle2 · 12/08/2012 00:39

Good luck Scarlet!

ScarletStarlet · 11/08/2012 23:12

Hi everyone, I'm new been lurking for a few days and thought I'd say hi now, I'm TTC number 1, on cycle 1, BFP due 21st Aug, good luck to you all

winkle2 · 11/08/2012 22:49

Lol dexi I'm such a drama queen aren't I!

Dexidoo · 11/08/2012 21:38

Catching up with everyone after a busy week. Congrats to the BFP's, fx for the rest of us for our next cycle.

Winkle it's like a soap opera with you, but glad you got one in today know how frustrating it is to think you should be DTD but other things in life get in the way.

Day 10 in the Dexi house and we have DTD day 8 and today. Aiming for EOD but not too stressed- the month we got PG we only got to it twice a week so I'm a firm believer in what will be will be. No +opk yet, last month was + CD13&14

Hope you are all having a lovely Saturday night- mine is going well- Chinese, wine & diving finals Grin

goingbananas30 · 11/08/2012 21:15

Congrats to all those who have BFP........

We are still camping here cheering people on and hoping for BFP's Smile

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 11/08/2012 20:17

Looking good qazxc if your not due till the 18th a faint line is amazing. How many days post ov do you think you are?

babyjames · 11/08/2012 20:10

FX qazxc :)
Sorry to those with BFN, I hope next month is for you.
yikes I used EPO for the first time this month and got my BFP yesterday! I haven't really felt pregnant at all just gone off wine and coffee. I also had a bleed a week ago which didn't happen with my DS.
Sor

winkle2 · 11/08/2012 18:45

Whispering congrats qazxc :)

SunshineOutdoors · 11/08/2012 18:14

Hooray qazxc! If I didn't camp out on these boards I wouldn't know that a faint line is still a line, so in fairness to your oh I can see he might need further proof.

How many dpo are you? I am going to v festival on Sunday 19th, and if I'm not pg then I want to get a bit intoxicated. I'm thinking of testing on Saturday, then I'll be 11dpo... do you think that by then I can count a negative as a real negative and a positive will show up on a first response?

Wasn't expecting to ovulate as late as I have... I thought I'd know for definite one way or another by next weekend.
