TTC in August Looking for a BFP

Oh my goodness congrats aqua!!

What CD are the rest of us on?
Or is just you and I waiting Ladylush?

I am CD16

OMG Congrats then Take it easy hun - esp as you've been unwell. Lots of r+r.

Hi awen how are you?

didn't have any willpower this morning and did a clrearblue

what do you know very faint line!!!
keep think I'm seeing things got dh to check three times

Ladylush :~) HI honey how are you?? Sorry have ben crap and not caught up lately.

Thanks Ladylush It does put a bit of a dampner on things when your not well. I did a preg test just to double check which peeved me off even more

I know what you mean about seeing a positive

I have now purchased more sensitive pregnancy tests and am using all the willpower I possess not to pee on them.

Sorry to hear you were unwell on your holiday - what a shame I was sick on ours too. Happy today as it is the first month I am using ov sticks and I got a positive today. It was nice to see 2 pink lines again - even though it's just LH surge and not HCG

Went to Sardinia, which was beautiful, but had a dizzy spell and fever.
we had our anniversary on the 10th too which was nice but probably the food there which made me ill.
I'm off to buy some more sensitive tests and am going to try really hard to wait before doing them.

Woohoo! Sticky stuff!!

DH has been jumped!
Now we will wait to see if anyone wins the egg and sperm race!!

I know waaay TMI but I just had to share DH's joke about the egg and sperm race, it had me creased!!

ov tests Are, hopefully, rubbish!!

EWCM??

Sorry! I don't know all the jargon!!

Yeah, maybe I should just bed (I always think 'bed' or 'bedding', as in get 'im in the sack!! Every time I see BD!!) Anyway, maybe I should just jump on him in the off chance. Don't imagine I will hear him complaining!!

fairy afaik the ov tests can be unreliable. I used them for the first time this month and all negative so far (though currently cd 12 so it could be a bit early still). Mind you, no ewcm yet. Maybe you could continue to test for a few days.

CD14, just done a ov test and still negative
I am worried that I am not going to be fertile at all this month.
I am still BF DD, but been off any pills for 3 months now and had 2 AF regular distance apart.

Had BD with DH on CD10, reckon I coudl be preggers already?
Yeah right, fat chance!

Feel about negative ov test though.

TMI pos but had absolutely no sticky discharge at all?
So either not a chance this month or done it already!!? And we are off on hols next week so will have to wait to do any testing until we get back

moodymoo - it was our anniversary yesterday - 9 years. dd was at grandparents so we went to London on our own - it was raining though so went and saw a film (felt v naughty in the afternoon ) and then went out for a meal!

LT - have popped into September and now will join properly !

Aquababe - hope you had a great hol - did you go anywhere nice?

Well back from hols to this crap english weather and started thinking about testing again I wish I had more patience and could just wait but I'm not made that way.
done a test this morning cd 23 (-3-9)and got the bfn that I expected.
I wasn't well on hols so I doubt if I managed to have sex enough or on the right days.
Bloody tests!

LikerabbitsBX - thanks for that, will check it out!

Bellie - Join me in September thread?

Well, my knicker watching has stopped and AF is finally here. I'll be in the September thread [waves goodbye]

Good luck to the rest of you and hope NOT to see you on September thread (but in nicest possible way i.e. BFP!!)

Sorry to hear your period has arrived Bellie , know how you feel .Have decided that i'm not going to put so much pressure on myself this month as I was so disappointed last month. Am sure that if we relax a little bit we will have more chance.
When is it your weding anniversary? It is mine on Sunday and I can't wait - 1st one. Hopefully will have finished my period and bd'ing will be back on the menu. What you got planned?

Sorry about period bellie but at least you can have alcohol without feeling guilty whilst you celebrate your anniversary. Have a lovely time

Hi,

I have found all this info on cervical position...good reading

www.sisterzeus.com/cervob.htm

I am ttc on CD28 so far (due on today)and always on time, my symtoms are -

Period type cramps
dizzyness
hearburn
constipation
NO SORE BOOBS (which for me is sooo unusual as I always have sore boobs b4 period)
Really tired although cant sleep when bedtime
Cervix is very high
Feeling sick at times, sometimes gagging feeling
Vived and wierd dreams

Had BFN on Sat just gone, hubby wont let me test again till the weekend!

Bellie - oh no I think maybe as lots of MNetters who are on these TTC threads have had funny things happen - think we're all a bit too obsessed

CD31, still no period. I don't feel so much like it's due as I did. Not sure what that means? May start a new thread later for people who've come off the pill - find out what happened for different people.

Well, checked my cervix again a moment ago and it's not quite as low down as it was and the CM is white and sticky. Certainly more when I wipe today. What does that mean?

period arrived this morning
Not as heavy as normal, but I think it is probably due to the fact that I have been 'mucked about' this month as I have never been this late (apart from when i was pg).
Do you think that as we want to get a bfp so much it is affecting our bodies?

LT good luck for the docs on Thur.

Might not be around for a couple of days - dd is going to granparents and me and dh are going to have some time together for our anniversary - boo for period though!

Hello ambi - how are you? I used to be plummymummy but I got so cheesed off with m/c that I became a lush I seem to remember you had very long cycles - or am I mixing you up with someone else?

Congrats munch

Bellie - how are you?

fairysnuff - sad isn't it, just got off the phone to my mum and she said it was bliss not knowing these things, didn't worry about it. She also said...(managed not to cry but was hard - HORMONES!!! ).....that another family member had the same problems with early menopause....her mum (my grandma). My mum confirmed she was 29 and grandma was about my age but I was wrong about my aunty, she was late 30's/early 40's. This all scares me, it really does, I feel so emotional now [slaps self round face!]. My mum said she thought she was pregnant at 29 (desperate not to be as had me and twins and that was enough lol) as had no periods and felt pregnant at times but the Dr finally did a blood test and it showed she'd started the menopause. I'm praying this isn't the case for me but I can't bear the thought of trying for ages to then find this out Hoping to get appointment with my Dr a week on Thursday (next time they have appointments with her that you can call about day before, i plan on phoning after midnight and using their automatic system - that will guarantee I don't miss out - she's popular )

Right, moan over, back to the kiddies......

Oh you poor thing.
I defo blame MN too, for filling my head full of stuff I really did not need to worry about.
Reading about bellies EP (hope I have the right person, sorry if not) that bd with DH the other night when I am pos not ov yet could mean that the wee buggers catch the egg in the wrong place.
I never worried about these things before!!

My Brother has two girls about 4ish years apart. The age gap is good for them. I am sure you will be fine. Hope the DR can put your mind at rest though, I agree, find out now if it is a worry to you.

I am going to be just under two years difference if I concieve now. Am I mad!? Probably!!
