August BFPs....so far wink
Bluesatinsash
SpecialOffer

Sunnydale · 23/11/2008 11:46

Way-hey! So, so SO happy for you both Bluesatinsash and Specialoffer - hadn't checked thread for a coupla days and it was so great to hear some positive news. For those whose AF has recently arrived: sorry to hear it, but please stay on the August thread, it would be sad for you to go! Also, I guess babies can come early as well as late (esp second / third babies) so you could still easily squeeze one out in August!

I have updated the list to include more info on myself: hope nobody minds but although I only have one DC, I've put TTC#3 as it feels kinda wrong not including the other conception, even though it didn't make it. Hope that makes sense to some of you, if not all...

Looking forward to more big fat positives +++++

RipMacWinkle · 23/11/2008 08:22

Morning all - just updating the list again.

Really sorry about all of those pesky af arrivals. Hang around here though - this is a good (and v busy!) thread!

Looks like there are few people due to test in the next few days - keep us all posted.

Love to all x

August BFPs....so far
Bluesatinsash
SpecialOffer

Sans04 · 23/11/2008 02:33

Hello ladies

a very big fat congratulaition to you bluesatinsash and Specialoffer I am very happy for you guys, hope there will be more and more BFP on this thread.

noodle12 yes you'r right I agree, but I am a bit confused, as I don't have sore boobs as usual before af and no tummy ache or crumpb, but still in my heart I don't feel that I am pg I don't know why?

so sorry VKFAB, neevy, olivo and all the other that got af, but just think and hope that there is always next month I now saying that is easier.

VeryKeenForABean · 22/11/2008 21:42

Just popping myself to the bottom, as you say, I could still be in for August at a stretch!

shopaholicDIVA · 22/11/2008 21:24

good luck and loads of baby dusts to everyone who is trying for baby in august. at least you are all not in aibu thread not wanting baby in august
2 years ago i found out i was pg on the day boden sale started and also i passed my driving test. and my little boy is sleeping peacefully in his bed now.
god bless you. babies are lovely and they are the best present in the whole world. have you xmas presents.

olivo · 22/11/2008 21:13

2manychips - i agree with bluesatinsash that you ought to test just in case. my sister thought she'd had AF but it was a bleed when she would have had AF and she was actually pg. it is something about the AF hormones 'over-riding' the pg ones ( sorry, i am not a scientist!!{grin])
good luck.

bluesatinsash · 22/11/2008 20:47

Thanks everyone for all your good wishes, just wish there were more BFPs!!

2manychips - have you tested? I have read many times that sometimes AF arrives even though your pg as there is still Af hormones in your system... Some poor souls get AF throughout their pregnancies..

Suzibhoy - I have my fingers crossed for you..

VKFAB, neevy, olivo sorry to read about AF rearing her head.

specialoffer - I won't be joining the ante-natal club just yet. The memory of having to bow out of April 09 is still too fresh. I will be lurking though .

2manychips · 22/11/2008 19:46

Hey girls, af arrived for me yesterday and has gone today. Never done that before..what the devils going on?!! Lovely news bluesatinsash and specialoffer. Good luck x

LJ29 · 22/11/2008 19:40

neevyweevy · 22/11/2008 18:59

AF just arrived I know ttc is a tricky process but I actually convinced myself that because i used the ovulation predictor tests and babydanced for 2 weeks solid (im still knackered lol) I would be pregnant! Anyway i suppose what will be will be! Im gonna stay on this thread do you think I might still make it into august?? im going to put me at the bottom of the list! xx

olivo · 22/11/2008 17:53

noooooo, don't leave me!! sorry to hear about AF. you could technically make it in august, verykeen.
there is a september thread, but i'm too shy . I feel like I know you all!!

I've been out and got more OPKs, pregnacare conception vits and loads of grapefruit juice. oh, and a new battery for my thermometer!! I'm leaving nothing to chance, me! Thank goodness Boots had a special offer weekend on!

noodle12 · 22/11/2008 17:52

Hi girls. Really sorry Olivo to hear your news. Got a feelin I might be joining you next time around too.

Only on CD24 but in danger of repeating last months testing too early. Did one this am and a BFN although hoping it's just cos I'm too early.

Had what felt like reallly bad period pain this am too so don't know if they are about to appear..... time will tell!

VeryKeenForABean · 22/11/2008 17:27

Typical, spotting started after writing that last post! AF arrives again Hope she hasn't got anyone else. Hope the pain passes neevy.

In additional twist, the ebay tests were on the mat when I got out of the bathroom!!

With so many of us coming to this point, maybe it's time to start a September thread!

I think I might want to step it up a gear this month, may look into OPKs/vits/preseed again. Am getting more and more attracted by the idea of reflexology/acupuncture too, even if just for a spot of relaxing!

olivo · 22/11/2008 17:22

hopefully it wont come to that, but if AF does catch up with you, i'd welcome the company!!

SuziBhoy · 22/11/2008 13:50

hey bubblebell sounds like we are both in the same position... heres to AF staying the hell away .

i would also like to stay on this thread if AF arrives......... do u think anyone would mind if we added ourselves to the bottom of the list??? although it might not come to that fingers crossed.

bubblebell1 · 22/11/2008 13:39

congratulations blue and special im so so pleased for you both heres to all the others that are due to follow.

i tested this morn and it was a BFN

AF not here yet but i am preparing myself for next month and ttc already. sadly i dont think i will have a due date in aug if 'she' arrives after the weekend so will i be evicted from the thread ??

good luck to those on the 2ww

LJ29 i have had funny pains down below since ov too. they seem to have subsided now tho. felt like pressure. i have no idea what it was but am thinking it could be body returning to normal after pill.

xxxx

LJ29 · 22/11/2008 12:45

Afternoon ladies, congrats to those with a BFP let hope they're the start of many!!

I think I ov'd about 6 days ago and ever since have had a really funny tummy on and off. I'm not sure I would describe it as crampy but more like a stretchy, pulling kind of sensation. very odd and just wondered if anyone else has had this?

neevyweevy · 22/11/2008 09:58

Morning Ladies! Not really been on all week but have been catching up with bubble through email! Today is D Day for me and I feel awful, the witch is definately on her way, I have dreadful period pains but Im still hoping its a sign of pregnancy! although I tested last night I couldnt help myself and it was BFN! I shall keep you all updated as to when and if she arrives! and congratulations to all who have BFP!!!!
