Im trying for an August baby

LOL smallone - "at the meer whiff of trouser"

Wow! - you go away for the weekend and another two BFPs appear!

Congratulations Babybump2b and trying4tallulah! suzi and bubble - so sorry to hear you are still in no man's land with no AF or BFP. Hope one or t'other appear soon or Doctor has some answers.

Olivo - I had C-section with DS and got BFP first month of trying back in July (although sadly ended in mc) and second month of tryin this time so fret not.

Baby dust to all x

Wow such a lot has been going on! Congratulations to the new graduates!

Suzi, if your spotting was implantation, your cycle is prob longer than usual so it might take a few days to show positive. I hope you can get an answer to this sooner rather than later.

I'm on the 2ww now, not feeling too twitchy yet, I'm hoping to get to the 11th before I start thinking about it - yeah right!

I had emcs with dd, but I one of my friends has had two cs really close together and she seems to get pregnant at the meer whif of trouser.

Suzi, just seen you are still waiting - I can't bear it - what a bummer for you. Waiting hardest thing - anyway just sending you the answers....well - no clearly I'm not cos I don't know them I mean I'm sending you hope they soon come.

I'm thinking of trying Agnus castus to get my cycles a bit more regular. Does anyone have any experience of this?

Congratulations to Babybump2b and trying4tallulah! Great news, I hope all goes well for you.

Good luck to everyone else!

Suzi, you sound so frustrated, i wish I could advise you on what's going on but don't really know, I hope it works out for you though.

Wishing, how are you today?

just logged on to see such great news - congratulations to you both - yippeeee for the happy stories.
To all those still waiting or having confusing times I send you my love and such strenght - I really know how that feels
to those BDing - enjoy every moment!
to those in the 2 ww I send you patience and courage to resist the dreaded test AND to those of us who are just back to the start I send you more good humour than I have. I'm fine, struggling a bit this time around - not sure why but keep bursting into tears which is driving me nuts! I know it'll all be fine and there are so many worse off than I am but it's hit me this time! Anyway - in a couple of days I'll be bouncing back and ready to start again!

In the meantime have taken myself off but hope to be back to read of fabulous happy news all round very soon.

August BFPs....so far

Hi Suzi - I'm no expert but AFAIK the follicle that releases the egg hangs around for a bit and produces progesterone until the point of implantation when something else takes over (placenta?). The follicle (corpus luteum) is supposed to dissolve, but sometimes they hang around for longer than they should and the high progesterone levels stop AF arriving. I might be talking complete bs here, but I probably got the info from fertilityfriend.com at some point. In my case I have a cyst which is an old corpus luteum that hasn't dissolved properly, but thankfully it doesn't interfere with my cycles. I have no idea how common this is and it's probably more likely that ov happened late or something, but it was just a thought. Hope you get your BFP soon.

thanks to those who've given reassurance about post c-section ttc. I guess there's nothing I can do about it anyway!

Congratulations on all the BFP's!!! Lets hope they keep coming xxxx

hi issy ive just read your post and the part 'Could be that your corpus luteum hasn't collapsed properly and is still producing progesterone.' intrigued me. i have no idea what this is or means , but would appreciate more info please? Im trying to work out what the hell is going on with my cycle... surely the test would show up now if i was pg.

the first day of my last AF was 23rd oct..., had a day or two of spotting and still no AF or BFP. Anyone had any experience of this?

Congratulations trying4tallulah .

Sorry those who got AF and sorry liahgen, hope he changes his mind.

Hope you get some answers soon those overdue for AF with BFNs. Could be that your corpus luteum hasn't collapsed properly and is still producing progesterone. I must have had one of those just after my hycosy as no cyst then but on first IUI scan I had one floating around near one of my ovaries and I had a really odd cycle the month after the hycosy too, with spotting when AF was due but real AF came 3 weeks later. Was confusing for me then when I wasn't even ttc so must be really hard for you.

Good luck everyone and keep up the daily BFPs!

sunnydale. Get a lovely early night with none of that messy bd'ing shenanigans!

Hi everyone, just catching up - wow more BFPs, so impressed, def picked the right thread as a newbie

2ww begins it really feels like I am trailing behind but I am moving slowl up there, fingers crossed I make it to the special list at the bottom! If not there's always Chrismas

Keep smiling!

Congrats TryingforTallulah, splendid news! Olivo, I hadn't heard anything about ttc after a C-section but can echo Headfairy in that I had a C-section for first DC and got pregnant with second DC after literally one shag (when DD was 2.5). I also know three other women who've had no troubles with conception after a C-section... so I hope that puts your mind at rest xxx

Right, I can hear the creak of the stairs (actually, they sound like they're about to collapse) which can only mean one thing: father in law, all 22 stone of him, is off to get his train home. Loud and noisy BD'ing all round tonight! Or maybe not: might skip it tonight as def not ovulating and did manage one last night, despite looming presence of inlaws. LOL at Headfairy's quiet DH. Better than being a grunter, eh!

aw, sorry to hear that LJ, hope the spotting stops and it's just an implantation bleed after all your heroic efforts!

Hi ladies sorry I haven't been round much. spotting started Thursday night so think AF is on its way. Absolutely gutted. Bd'd 13 times this month and just don't know what else to do. Congrats to those who have got their BFp and sorry for those who had no luck this month.

Congratulations trying, that's great news. When I was pg I told everyone I was on a really strict diet so I couldn't drink. My voracious pregnant appetite did slightly give the game away but I got away with it most of the time.

Liahgen, sorry to hear your dh has said no more, I hope he changes his mind soon.

Olivo, I had a cs for ds and a tiny infection in my wound (I didn't even notice it, the mw said it was looking a little pinky and put me on antibiotics for a week) I conceived the first time I tried when we decided to ttc again, sadly that miscarried, but there was nothing to imply the mc was anything to do with cs, and it made me feel much happier that I could get pg that quickly after a cs because like you I was worried about my fertility afterwards.

WOW congrats babybump and tryingfor tallulah, pass the luck

bubble Im in the exact same position as you, not sure what else to do. i know if i go to doc he will do test, say its negative, then tell me to go home and wait for AF lol. What a nightmare, i will test again thursday morning (before im off to ireland for a break), if its BFN then i will put it out my mind and hopefully AF arrives. Hope you get answers

liahgen so sorry you are leaving, hope you get what you want in the future.

Just logged on this morning/afternoon (my tunr to sleep in today) Congratulations Babybump2b and trying4tallulah I can't believe how lucky this thread is, I hope there's plenty more BFPs to come, it makes me smile everytime I read one, well done.

thanks olivo i can remember i had an infection in my wound but nothing major. i read the thread and there were more positive stories so not too worried.

i am going to visit the dr this week. im also goin to bd as much as pos and just test at 4 weekly intervals.. im confused as i have never had problems before. i just hope im reading too far into things and af comes soon.

oh, smiley, sorry to hear that. let us know and rememebr we're here to listen. take care.

hi bubble, i don't know about the depo i'm afraid. It must be so confusing to have neither AF or a BFP. i hope you get one or the other soon. is it worth a dr visit? If you have the patience/ stamina / time, i would continue to BD as much as you can.

i didn't mean to scaremonger about the CS. i just picked up on a thread last night where someone had asked about it and it made me do a bit of reading. i think it depends on whether you had infection after your CS, or whether you conceive and it tried to implant where your scar is. The things i read implied that you could have a bit more trouble conceiving. HOWEVER, there were plenty of success stories ( and few negative ones!) so lets try not to worry - we've got enough on our plates!!off for some grapefruit juice......

Big huge congratulations baby & tying fantastic news. I had a slight temp drop this morning so feeling a little down today Oh well only only another 1 or 2 days before I know for definate
Have a lovely lazy Sunday everyone

How long does the depo injection take to leave your system?
