Hi wondered if any one else was aiming for an August baby and fancied joining me this month to pass the time. This will be our 3rd cycle of TTC now and im on CD1 but staying positive.

My details are

Gemma C, TTC#2, usual cycle length 28-32 days, cd1

Please feel free to add yourself to the list, I would love some company.

What fantastic news - more BFPS since I was last in.

Noodle, Bella and Sleeves - here's wishing you all great pregnancies.

What's happening at the top fo the list? 2manychips had an appearing/disappearing af at the weekend, what happened?

Suzi - how are things with you?

It looks like there are few tests being done this weekeend, as long as the old witch doesn't turn up.

I'm now on the 1ww but it's going to be so slow! I'm just praying hard that something will happen this month. DH is going to be away for work next week and I have ideas of how I could let him know if we were (he'll be on the webcam so he can talk to DS). Yes I know that's tragic but I know you guys will understand.

Good luck to anyone testing today x

Sleeves - congratulations - that's brilliant news.

Sans04 - big huge babydust to you too and hope AF stays away for you.

bubblebell - for me CM disappears/goes watery pre AF, but when I was pg had a lot of CM in 4 days before AF due, so fingers crossed for you.

mummy2t - welcome.

olivo - thanks and hope your cold passes quickly.

sans and evie - hope your angry moods are pg not AF hormones.

smallone - good luck with blood test tomorrow, sorry can't help about coeliac.

Suzi - I admire your resilience to testing. Good luck tomorrow.

Newhere - Enjoy the hotel.

Good luck everyone xxx

bluesatinsash · 26/11/2008 21:19

Congratulations ilikeyoursleeves - woo hoo another BFP !

Suzi and bubble - sending bfp vibes your way...

Evie - I had horrendous PMT the week before my bfp and was sure AF was on her way so she's not a given just because you're feeling murderous.

Headfairy - happy bd on Friday! Not sure re: grapefruit juice, I didn't take it but did have a Tesco-so-much-cheaper-than-innocent smoothie every morning.

smallone - hope your tests go OK tomorrow.

NewHereHelp - if BFPs are given for enthusiasm and gusto you would be first in the queue - you go girl!

BabyBump2B · 26/11/2008 20:47

Oooh Ilike thats great news - congrats!

I've fallen off the list as well so am adding myself back in!

wow, more bfps, how cool! congrats to those with happy news spread some our way eh?

Sorry to all those with af... rollercoaster starts up again....

Suzi, you're very brave, I'd have tested immediately. Last time I got pg, exactly the same thing happened, 2 days late I got what I thought was af, it only lasted a day, but for some reason it didn't really register that it was unusual, so I didn't test for a week, and it was a bfp! Fingers crossed the same happens for you!

Smallone... how spooky! We did manage it last night (how funny is this? Sharing intimate details of your marriage with strangers LOVE IT!) and dh is definitely much better today so we're going to go for it again tonight. I've told him I want to do it every night this week until Saturday so forewarned is forearmed! I'm cooking him all his favourite meals this week to make sure he's extra happy. I'm working on Friday til 10.30pm but it's Friday night so I'm sure I'll be able to pounce. I hope your dh picks up soon, keep plying him with Lemsip!

Does anyone know if you have to have been drinking grapefruit juice for ages for it to have an effect on your cm? I meant to start earlier, but didn't get round to buying it, but I've had a big glass every day for the past couple of days. Not noticed any difference, but I could just be being dim. Is it cumulative or will a glass in the morning make a difference for the evening?

smallone · 26/11/2008 20:06

Thinking of you suzi I hope you get a definite answer tomorrow, its horrible when you're in limbo.

olivo · 26/11/2008 19:34

suzi - you are soooooo impressively calm! i would have ripped a test open by now. let us know when you have news, and good luck!!

SuziBhoy · 26/11/2008 19:10

thanks evie and new will post once i know whats happening!

NewhereHelp · 26/11/2008 19:02

OMG you are so together - Will keep checking this thread, everything crossed for you - can't believe I have another 18 days to wait!!!! Am waiting for DP to turn up at hotel for cd10 BDing

I am now taking evening primrose oil and drinking grapefruit juice and following the SME plan - all very scary for a newbie like me!

Lots more BFPs for everyone

evie2000 · 26/11/2008 19:01

for what it's worth I think you're making the right call - my experience is certainly it can happen.
good luck though!

SuziBhoy · 26/11/2008 18:58

ha ha ha ha at you two

i think i will wait until i know AF is deffo away, as dont want to get my hopes up. so if i carry on thinking im not pg, then it will be less of a disappointment if AF does return to haunt me

you are so right evie 'damn the pyscology of a woman.'

evie2000 · 26/11/2008 18:53

do it do it do it!

such fun goading someone else into testing! But seriously, do a test if you're thinking it really has gone. HOwever, without meaning to be a downer on it I have sometimes found AF has disappeared to return the next day so if seeing a bfn is going to bring you down then wait and see!

PS - myself although I'm sure i have pmt how is it I can still convince myself i will have BFP and will therefore be gutted when i'm not pregnant. damn the pyscology of a woman.

NewhereHelp · 26/11/2008 18:52

Sory got all excited obviously do what ever you feel most comfortable with

NewhereHelp · 26/11/2008 18:50

Def do it now, surely you can't sleep tonight if you don't - I won't sleep !!!!!!!!!! xx

SuziBhoy · 26/11/2008 18:46

should i?????? or wait til 2moro... incase AF returns! Hoping it was implantation!

NewhereHelp · 26/11/2008 18:45

Suzibhoy Do a test - now!!!!!!

SuziBhoy · 26/11/2008 18:32

okay im confused, as (what i thought was) AF arrived yesterday, now theres no sign of it, the witch has disappeared!! not sure what to think.......

evie2000 · 26/11/2008 18:04

I keep meaning to add myself on so here goes - hope i've got it right.
The countdown very much in earnest here but frankly feeling so p...d off which I assume PMT so not holding out much hope.
Love hearing of the good news. fingers cross for everyone at the top of the list and good humour to all those around the bding stage! Damn the men with their excuses of why they can't whenever we want!!

suzibhoy - really sorry, can't be trusted with the list

smallone · 26/11/2008 17:19

Congratulations to all the BFPers! I do like it when they start rolling in!

headfairy I think we may be leading some sort of double life! We're cycle buddys and DH has also been ill. Im trying the Deanna plan (ish, not forking out on opks!) managed it cd8 but since then DH has been too feeble. Did manage to convince him last night, (had ewcm) but not sure if he can manage tonight aswell, poor lamb! Unfortunately I'm not very sympathetic, don't think he quite realises how much ttc affects me.

Got a fasting blood test tomorrow am for diabetes and coeliac disease, not sure if its legal for me to drive before my morning cuppa! I've heard coeliac disease can cause lowered fertility, does anyone know anything?

SuziBhoy · 26/11/2008 16:58
