TTC in August Looking for a BFP

Hiya Theblonde1,
Stop lurking and join in - I was the same last month in the July thread.

I 2 am bd'ing like mad - more than usual cos am using it as dh's punishment for forgetting my b'day Not much of a punishment I know but gets me what I want.
I know the waiting is so hard - it took me 10 months of bd'ing last time but looking back I really didn't have a clue about fertile days etc for the first 8 months. It was only when I took some control of it all that I got anywhere. There wasn't a happy ending for my pregnancy so am now back to ttc and feel so desperate to be get pg. Just get so frustrated with it all. Can't face the thought of months of trying - but am trying to stay calm and relaxed about it. Am sure you will find coming on here will help you though - somewhere that you can meet like minded people who aren't going to tell you all the usual crap - 'your still young' 'plenty of time ' it's just not your time' etc etc

Don't forget there is a postal strike today.

Hi Guys...just wondering if I can join you.I've been lurking for a few weeks now and can't believe that there are so many people going through the same as me...and you are all so supportive.I am 32 and DP is 39 and we've been ttc since the beginning of January.Am currently on CD16 (or2DPO)and think I've pulled a muscle with all the frantic BDing!!!....am sitting here being tearful and feeling sorry for myself because like all of you I want a BFP so badly...and(not that I'm being negative)am waiting for the postie to deliver a load of OPK's for if AF arrives.
Sorry to drone on to you all.

Brilliant, just brilliant Knitter!

Best of luck for the blood test and at the diabetes clinic. I had pregnancy-induced diabetes the first time around (controlled by diet not insulin). It cleared up after the birth (thank goodness) but did make things a bit more complicated. The upside though was that it meant lots of extra-special care, attention and monitoring, which made me feel as though I had lots of support.

Congratulations again!

Knitter
Calm down!! Just think of what all those needles are going to result in - one cute little bundle of joy. Do a Jordan and ask for some magic cream before they put the needle in.
You must be so happy right now - and am sure your dh is liking the idea of huge boobs - just wait till he realises that all he can do is look!

Good luck with all the tests x

Hi all.

Aussiesim - good luck with peeing on the sticks. Have heard a lot of good stuff about acupuncture, they say that reflexology is really good as well (having my feet played with sounds much nicer than having needles stuck in me). You will have to let us know how it goes.

LittleSquirt - am so pleased I didn't see that thread when it was going on - would have been hooked and I know that my dh would have been going mad at me for spending even more time on here. Lets hope there is more BFP's to be heard of this month.

LibraLady - Any news? Are you riding the rollercoasters or left holding the bags? Fingers crossed you got a BFP.

Tigerschick - think dh is starting to realise how much making up he has to do ... knows exactly what he needs to do to make it up to me. Think he is starting to look a little tired now though..... As I am now CD15 there is no hope of him having a rest just yet . Having this power over him has got to be the best present yet

Aquababe - are you feeling any better today - have a great holiday and come tell us all aboyt it when you get back - all refreshed and ready to start again.

Off to find my grapefruit juice now x

Morning!

Doc is sending sample off so will know 'official' result on monday, but she said that after 3 +ive home tests (yes I did another this morning just to prove to myself that I'm not imagining it all and the huge sore boobs, it's pretty certain that it's all systems go!

Got to go & have a blood test now (am terrified, I've seen a psychologist and a hypnotherapist because of the freaking out I do if they go near my arm to take blood, they say it's because it used to take 4 adults to hold me down to take blood when I was 3, and now I can JUST ABOUT cope with them taking it from the back of my hand.) and she's referring me to the diabetic antenatal clinic when the pg results come back on monday.

I hate being diabetic, it just complicates EVERYTHING.

Hi guys
Best of luck to us all this month!

I am TTC no.3 38yo (craddle snatching a 37yo). I took nearly 2 years to fall with DS1 (4.5) and 8months with DS2 (2) and have been off contraception/breastfeeding for 12months. I got so disappointed with my BFN's the last 2 months that I am worried it will not be good for my peace of mind to keep TTCing for too much longer. Today is CD 13. I have been testing for my LH surge - yesterday was nothing, today was a faint line which is encouraging, at least it looks like I am OVing. I have an appointment with an acupuncturist on Saturday to see if he can improve my chances.

Crossing my fingers for a whole heap of BFP's on this thread this month.

Oooh, Libralady, so exciting! Do keep us posted!! I was wondering what the next cliffhanger would be after the amazing "Immaculate conception" thread last night (hoping everyone saw that, if you didn't, check it out here.)

Keeping fingers crossed you get a BFP Tomorrow!

Hi all

aquababe - sorry for your bfn, just remember that it ain't over til it's over - and if it is over, it's only for this month. Hope you have a good holiday

Moodymoo - I should bloody well think he made it up to you - I might laud it over him for a little while longer yet, if I were you

Libralady - this suggests that it isn't such a good idea tho this sounds interesting!! Hope you have a good time if you do decide to go.

Girlycm - hope you have a great holiday

Knitter - Congratulations - don't get your hopes up about the dr confirming anything, mine just said that if I had a +ve test then I was pg. I had to wait for the 12 week scan before I had any other kind of confirmation, and I think that this is the norm. Good luck all the same

Hope everyone else is well and happy and keeping positive

Hi all

Knitter - congratulations am really for you but a lot as well. You must be so excited. Good luck at the docs 2moro.

Libralady - not sure what I would do about the rides - it's one of those situations where you avoid them all and then find out you aren't pg and or you ride them all and find you are pg. Personally I would love an excuse not to have to go on scary rides - dss says I am sooooooo embarassing when I go on them -scream like a girl and cry like a baby.I'm the one usually watching the bags whilst everyone else rides.

Bellie - dh most certaintly did make it up to me last night.... and again this morning.... It's a very serious thing forgetting your wifes b'day you know. Lets hope he forgets our first wedding anniversary next month

Aquababe - - keep your chin up - it will be our turn soon. Big hug for you.Have a great hioliday, realax and you never know what souvenir you might bring back with you!

Whoop sjust seen the time - got to go get tea on and look like I have at least attempted to do something since I got home Will drop in again later x

Alicante followed by Sardinia

ooh knitter congratulations!!!

aquababe hope you have a great holiday

moodymoo - did your dh make it up to you last night?

CONGRATULATIONS Knitter! I'm keeping everything crossed for a confirmed BFP from the doctor for you.

aquababe - sorry to hear. I do appreciate how you are feeling. But don't get disheartened! Have a super holiday and look forward to the BD to come!

So sorry aquababe

Yep, have a rip roaringly drunken holiday and everything crossed for next time x

Another frigging negative and showing signs of af coming.
Feeling very low. though I knew in my head I might not concieve that quickly my heart thought I would.
on the plus side going on hols on friday so will be drinking none stop during af then starting this whole thing again.

Guess what?

I did ANOTHER test this morning, and the line was stronger than yesterday's!

Was worried about doing it in case I got it wrong yesterday...

Going to the doc tomorrow, I won't believe it properly til the doc says yes!

Right, who's next? ALL OF YOU!!

Fingers crossed knitter - yes agree, must be your turn
Happy bday moodymoo

Tomorrows August!!!!!!!
Lots of baby dust to us all. Wishing everyone lots of luck. x x x

Fingers Crossed for you knitter.

Can I join in I am CD16 and am a bit irregular so have no idea how long my cycle normally is.

Off on holiday tomorrow nice to get away from work (place so depressing)

Good Luck every one!!

lol knitter - my dh thinks we're all totally mad And yes, I am slightly jealous - db looked at a house about a 5 minute walk to the ground but didn't know what he was doing so didn't buy it

Moodymoo - Hope you have a great evening Yes, the older dog, Widget, works. That photo was taken about 18 months ago so I don't know what was going on at the time. Nell is only 9 weeks so she isn't working yet. We got her because Widget was born 3/4 blind so he works but could do with a hand every now and then!

And btw my lovely DH thinks it's highly amusing that there's a whole forum of women chatting about weeing on sticks, and the outcomes!
