August bus in full summer swing, lightening strikes and symptoms spotting galore!

Thanks very much all, KittyVonCatsington - thank you twin! :D Best of luck to all those awaiting BFPs - I'm still in a fair amount of shock and convinced my AF is going to start any day now ?! I'll try and take each day as it comes I guess :)

Thanks ladies, wow it's a minefield isn't it. I think ur right on temping, also have a cbfm for next cycle which hopefully will ensure dtd at the right time. I'm going to get googling.

Kitty u got ur soy at tesco didn't u?

Sounds bloody frustrating katy. I think if you aren't lucky this cycle and I hope you are then give bbt temping a go and look into Soy Isoflavones to help you ovulate at a decent time, to give you a fighting chance of DTD at the right time. Of courses, I'm not a doctor and like English said, we all react differently to things. Start by doing lots of research based on your cycles then make a decision-leave well alone or try something. Good luck!

Oh kitty what are we going to do without u. My cycles r a joke. Cycle 1 51 days, cycle 2 25 days, cycle 3 29 days and counting!!! Does soy sort out ur cycle to? I just need to regulate it this is a nightmare!

Congrats to you too Plinky!

A word of warning following on from Kitty regarding Agnus Castus.... I tried it in Feb and had hideously long anovulatory cycle of 45 days! My have been completely unrelated to it but I've now sworn off it. I'm taking macca now as it just supports general reproductive health and has other great energy boosting benefits.

Congratulations pinkyplonk

Jeez! How rude of me! I should fully read before I post

CONGRATULATIONS plinky! My BFP twin So happy for you and hope you have a boring but lovely 9 months! Hopefully see you on the AnteNatal Clubs

Thanks Cpt I know how hard the past week has been for you and I really appreciate your best wishes-means a lot! Thinking of you xx

April It's 9th time lucky, I tell ya!

Oh, good lord! I certainly don't want my legacy to be the "Kitty Plan-get your DH to A & E" You all make me chuckle!

Katy I wonder if your boobs are due to water retention? No idea if it's due to coming off the Pill as it didn't happen to me and women get different pregnancy symptoms so it could be a good sign. Keep an eye on everything and if you have ics (don't waste expensive ones), keep using them. You won't get a dark line see how faint mine is! but will be obvious something's there. You listening MrsGrat - keep testing

I've read mixed things about Agnus Castus/Vitex. You will have to get them online as health food shops like Holland and Barrett aren't allowed to sell helpful high doses due to the status it has been given. Be aware they can mess with "already good" cycles but you should go back to normal if you stop taking them. They are supposed to help lessen PMS and regulate cycles so if you are struggling to get a regular AF (35 days or more) they seem to work. And of course, you could always try Soy Isoflavones if your cycle continues to play up!

Just popped on to see how're all getting along and wow!! August has been a busy bus. Congratulations to those who have had a BFP this round, hope you have a happy,healthy 9 months.

kitty CONGRATULATIONS!! I am so happy to see your BFP news. I'm a May Day baby, it's great always having an extra day off round your b'day. I've also got a May baby, it's a lovely time to have a baby too. Have a happy, healthy 9 months.

Quick q has anyone taken angus castus and dong quai to regulate cycles? I'm trying to do some research but there is a lot of conflicting info so wondered if anyone had experience?

At thanks jazzy, all I can do is keep on keeping on. I think I'm following sunbathing with late ovulation this month but hey let's wait and see. Trying to see the +ve in that at least I got ewcm this month which is the 1st time so hopefully it's a sign things are righting themselves xxx

Kitty congratulations!! Brilliant news . Thanks for posting your stats. I am really hoping it is cycle 9 lucky for me too.

Congratulations to you too Plinkyplonks .

Still time for some more August BFPS!!

Thank you for the messages. I think I am for September then as I am ovulating about now (It think)

Congratulations on all those who are pregnant, so good to see these images and hear the joy. Hurrah!!!

See you in September, those who are continuing on the journey x

Wow!! Thought i'd hop over briefly to check on you all and am delighted to see all these new bfp's!!
Congratulations!!
Katy, your not out yet, all of my pregnancies i've not got bfp until a week after af was due.
I'm cd3 atm, just been to superdrug and bought some epo to start taking for nxt couple of weeks, also a multi-vit.
Ordered some opks and am going to start those religiously once af buggers off. Cycle 8 now, hoping this will b the last month, if not might re look at the soya info as i think this may benefit me.

Congrats plinky good day for bfp's

Wow big congratulations Plinkyplonks - great news! Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months :)

Hahasunbathing perhaps A&E Will see an influx of men with broken arms soon...
i'm not sure dh will be too pleased with this latest ttc strategy!!!

Congratulations Kitty - wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months! Sorry teacher about AF!

I am still waiting over here. CD35 and no AF but still bfn (I think, maybe saw a line on IC but think my eyes are going a bit mad - nothing on the tesco one). I wonder if I oved later this month, hence everything being delayed. Who knows!!

Plinkyplonks, TTC#1, cycle 7, BFP due 25th August

In a lot of shock today, got a BFP today. Was convinced my period was about to start :D

Thanks Kitty, I've always thought its little early but doc said it was ok and it just gives me slightly shorter cycles and therefore more chances of that bfp! I will try it cd3-7 though and see what happens
