All aboard for a positive August

hiya all

haven't had chance to read through the whole thread so don't know who has and hasn't had bfp's so will just say congrats to those with bfp's and commiserations to those with af.

am on cd10, have just come back from a week at the seaside, dh should hopefully get his sperm test result today so who knows that might bring some closure. Last month my mum asked if we were going to have any more babies, and I said prob not as was unable to get pregnant, now she's being all tactful, not, rang last night for a chat and then said .. "any news? any babies on the way yet?" tactless cow, lol.

Hey ladies, I have been away from MN for a few days and things have certainly been happening here. Fingers and toes crossed for you Bobblehead!

I am feeling awful, I hurt everywhere and the veins in my legs are aching and I feel very emotional. I have also lost any sense of what is going on with my body.

Now been off the pill for just over 5 weeks. Usual Pill AF ended just over 4 weeks ago. 23 days later AF arrived but only for 4 days and very light and since then I have had spotting, dark discharge(sorry TMI).

Anyone been through this and know what it is?

Also be bad as had quite a ot to drink at the weekend and I know I shouldn't be drinking much at all if TTC.

Agree with all you have said about sharing, noone else knows how much I think about TTC and this site is great for giving your awareness and perspective!

Happy Monday ladies

oh nicki and bobble the suspense is killingme so god only knows what its doing to you!! would be great to have 2 BFPS...and we are not even in august yet!! hehe
have had a really lazy weekend..so lazy in fact me and dp didnt get up yesterday until 2:30pm!! we sat in bed watching films which was nice and cosy. i ovulated yesterday too (cd17) i thought it was early on in the week it happened but on sunday the line was VERY clear.
we have bd'd every day for the last 2 weeks (except last wednesday) so i really have got my fingers crossed.
nice to see you are all back though..i came on a few times yesterday afternoon and no1 was on

Yeah, wait till wednesday. fingers crossed for you. x

No it was a moment of weakness I'm going to wait until Wednesday as it's a waste of money as I'm sure i'm not pg.

Not sure you can always try.

I know but DP's just gone off to work and I want to test now but I only have Sainsburys tests which says to do them on first day of missed period.

Does anyone know whether they do work 2 days early??

Hi Nicki

Well done for holding out on the testing, only 2 days to go and hopefully you will know either way, think i am on CD40.

Well i'm on CD26 of and 28 day cycle and I really want to test even though I haven't had any signs. Although on Friday I felt really sick on the tube but I think this is because I eat to many sweets!.

I know what you mean Natty whenever I see a little baby let alone hold them I go into this big cheesy grin! I'm sure all these parents in town and on the tube must think I'm some sort of stalker.

Didn't get to the big ASDA, just the usual one, but we went out for lunch and a walk down the cannal plus i got to cuddle my friends 7 month old baby that is trying to talk (well makes noises) and kept me smiling all afternoon.

I missed BB too!!!!

A huge Asda sounds cool...but dangerous and pricey if I were let loose!!

And Morrisons....well I'd probably still get excited just cos it's different!!!
Now that's really sad to admit to!!!

Must go to bed!!

Have sat down to post 3 times today and each time dd launches an attack and I have to leave!
No more news from me, still a faint line this morning. I have one cheapo test left so I've promised myself not to do it until af day (wed) as this is still so early. Then I will buy something expensive to check with no matter what the result. Not sure how I'll last that long!
Anyone else ready to test or ovulate?

Fab, people back on line. I was missing you all. I did wonder what kicker inspecting was miam - of course I knew what it was!!
I am a classy bird - honest!!
I hate grapefruit juice as well, but will give it a whirl. I have no idea though how much of it you are supposed to take, and when? - is it all the time or just in the run up to ov???
Pendulum, sounds like you have had a lovely day. It sounds v promising for Bobblehead doesn't it. I will be soooo jealous, as we both hoped we would get our bfp's this month as her bday was on the 11th July and mine was on the 12th. Of course I will also be v pleased for her!!
Anyway, bed time for me - such a dirty stop out.
Sweet dreams everyone and see you tomorrow. xx

I am sure you all realised I meant KNICKER

Hi everyone!!

SOL - I missed BB too - bloody DH wanted to watch Top Gear tsk tsk....by the way I was killing myself laughing at your post about your plan for the month and read it out to DH - he says you are a 'classy bird' lol

Bobble - I am so excited for you - it all sounds VERY promising doesn't it! Glad to see you are addicted to HPT's too.

Been another nice day here... went to Morrisons today (on serious economy drive and DH has banned me from Sainsbury's or Tesco so very jelous of your trip Coggy) our DS has taken to calling it a 'girly shop' but if he goes to B&Q with his Dad then thats a 'mans shop'! Sexist already and only 2 years old.

Natty - don't you worry about how you will deal with becoming a Mum - I was exactly the same before DS - you'll be absolutley fine. I think when the baby is yours it's just totally different..if you see what I mean.

Welcome to all the new names Bubblez and Andi, looking forward to getting to know you all. I am now on CD 9 and we have managed a BD on Day 7 and 8 so we've started early...I am kicker inspecting vigourously for the EWCM (sorry TMI)

Can't stomach grapefruit juice so hoping I get an abundance of the stuff naturally!

Hi SOL, I've just logged on to see if any more news from bobblehead. Sorry you're feeling so uncomfortable.

I've had a great day, eating icecream in the park with DD and then taking the shears to the overgrown garden tonight.

AF seems to be at an end so need to get obsessed with "signs" again soon. Am on CD 5 tomorrow- but of how many? Last cycles have been 37, 34 and now 25 days!

Is anyone else due to test in the next week or so?

Where is everyone? Can't be watching BB as that has finished - to my horror. I thought it was on at 9.00 as usual!!
So, anybody have anything to report?
My af is awful this month - TMI alert. Awful pain, particularly on left hand side and really quite heavy with some small clots - pleasant!
I am hoping I haven't got endometriosis - has anyone else got/had this?
I was always told that after having children af pain/af woud be better, but having had dd 3 yrs ago, it has got progressively worse! They lied..!!!

Morning

Had good time at the zoo yesterday, took a friends daughter. Must admit it is hard work having kids and i only had her for the day. It's really weird to have someone else to think about, not that i am a selfish person but you get so used to doing waht you what to do and when you want to do it - think i have a lot to learn.

Didn't put me off having kids though, looking forward to Bobble posting her BFP and lots of s later as i am sure she is preg.

Hope everyone else is well, got the shopping to do today and after reading cogg's excitment of going to sainsbury's instead of tescos i think i might get DP to go with me to the big ASDA near us for a change, think it is the biggest one in the country.

OMG know i sound sad, oh well seem to be rambling...off i go.

LOL Bobblehead.....it just gets rather addictive tho doesn't it??!!

Only a few more hours before you can test again in the morning!!!!

Almost asked dh to try one so we could see if its evap but I'm way too possesive of my tests

Oh Bobble - this sounds good.

I think that the cheap tests are a good idea as it fulfils that need every month and then, if you do get a 'cheap line', you can try a more expensive one.

Good plan.....I like it!!

Hi dm2b, I got them from Early pregnancy website. I had ov sticks from there too, which usually gave me nothing but last weekend I had a line (not positive but quite dark) and same again yesterday (just in the mood for peeing on sticks yesterday). Have a look on the peeonastick website, its very informative about tests.

Oh Bobblehead, this is all sounding good! Just what you wished for on your birthday eh?
Fingers crossed.
I have the most HORRENDOUS af pain, and my tummy has ballooned as if I am pg! Love it!!!

hi bobble i really have got my fingers crossed for you...it does sound good.
which cheap tests are u using from ebay? whats the seller?
i brought some from a lady and ov ones too...i am confused cos i have been doing the ov ones and nothing then last 2 days been getting a faint line...maybe they just arnt very good?

Morning all! Well I did another test and there is still only a faint line...although dh does agree its there so I'm not imagining it! Don't think its evap as it does come up within 3 mins, just soooo faint. Plus I've done around 6 of these in the last few months (cheapy internet) and never had even a hint of a line (and obviously I retreive them from the bin several times a day and study closely!)
So...I can't call it a bfp but I'm very hopeful. Thing is I have tested way too early so will wait until af is due and buy "proper" test then. In the meantime I will finish up my cheap tests by doing one a day until then.

I am so aware that this could all go wrong, it being so early, especially after what happened to Trace and SOH ((()) hugs to you both x) so am desperately trying not to get my hopes up.

(its not evap is it????)
