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.

Evening ladies and welcome purple - so sorry to hear about your mc. There are a few of us ttc after mc so share your desperation tc but terrified too conundrum( sp?)

Headfairy - sounds like AF is on her way - glad you're not too down. I lived in the faint hope that I had conceived after mc and before AF but accepted that my hormones were all over the place. It took me two cycles to get back to 'normal' and I'm still not sure if I'm there - ho hum.

neevy - stop proding your boobs! I would try and hold off as long as possible with testing, easier said than done I know.

spats · 12/11/2008 19:10

hey wishing did you ever hear about your blood tests?

neevyweevy · 12/11/2008 18:39

Thanks suzy, I will try very hard not to test or i will just set my self up for disappointment and expense!!! Good luck ladies!!!

HeadFairy · 12/11/2008 18:16

Evening ladies... well I've had some brown spotting today, but boobs are agony. The only time they've hurt this much has been when I was pg, but I think the spotting is turning red so must be af. A bit confused, but resigned to thinking that I won't be lucky this month. Guess the hormones are still playing funny tricks hence sensation that I've been kicked in the chest! Ho hum, not too down, would have been bloody lucky if I'd got pg first time trying again. Mind you, if I do catch the next bean I'll still be on course for an August baby so I can stay on this thread

SuziBhoy · 12/11/2008 18:02

neevyweevy - very exciting i know but i would wait another week! u think u could wait that long? saves you using a lot of tests.

neevyweevy · 12/11/2008 17:54

Im driving myself mental lol! Dont know if my boobs hurt cos im prodding them every 5 mins or not!!!! When do you all think the earliest is I can do a test? Im on CD 20!

yellowflowers · 12/11/2008 17:25

Wishing · 12/11/2008 17:05

hello everyone!! welcome i shall wear purple! so sorry to hear about your mc last month, it must have been so hard for you at 13 weeks - its always horrible but i cant imagine what you must have been through - thinking of you!!

Hello Lollys mum, nice to see you and not see you at the same time if you not what i mean!! sorry af got you but goodluck for this month!!

i wouldnt worry ladies that you dont feel pg i think half the time we worry ourselves daft with symptom spotting, i know i do!! and on the up side i hear read on mn all the time ladies who rule out pg and are so shocked when they hit lucky that month!! it aint over till its over ladies!! heres to a af free month for us and a few more to follow after that!!

xxxxxxxxx

SuziBhoy · 12/11/2008 16:39

hi makka, fertile thoughts for you.

im not feeling pg at all but the last time i fell pg it was a shock as i never felt any different at all and had convinced myself i wasnt. so you never know.

makka · 12/11/2008 14:52

Hi Ladies- well I'm cd 23 today and have given in to the lure of cheap pg tests from e bay- should be here tom. They did confirm my last pg very early though last time...so who know???? Anyone else feeling pg? Personally i don't but that doesn't mean anything does it really?

Good luck ladies!!

IShallWearPurple · 12/11/2008 14:43

Hi everyone,

Can I join? We're sort of TTC without actively talking about it too much, as I had a missed miscarriage in October at 13 weeks. My period returned 11 days ago (so I'm on CD11?) and I'm desperate to be pregnant again, but very, very scared too.

I must admit that I haven't read the whole thread yet, but will try too. Good luck to everyone on here though!

LollysMum1 · 12/11/2008 14:05

Hello August, I'm joining from the July thread. And will be using my CB fertility monitor so let's hope it "increases my chances of conceiving by 89%"! Anyone else using one?

Afternoon all. I've updated list for Wednesday - hope it's fairly right!
Am off to the gym this afternoon for first time in months. DD is starting at a creche 3 sessions a week hopefully from next week so gonna start getting more exercise then, as I figure anything I can do to get in better shape has gotta help ttc.

neevyweevy · 12/11/2008 13:44

I seemed to have a lot of niggly stabbing pains and tender boobs last night on CD 20 now but now its all gone Dont know if I am just imagining it as I am looking for it if you know what I mean?!??! Seem to have a bit of earache today tho - dont think thats a symptom!!!!

bluesatinsash · 12/11/2008 13:18

phew, me too yellowflowers although my bd last week was up there with bells on, DH is looking a little sad this week as I'm in incubation mode!

issy - I've recounted and I'm officially cd 19 today (AF arrived on 25th Oct) - can whoever next updates jump me up as I daren't do it again - ta muchly.

Got a busy weekend coming up which should help with the 2WW no man's land - arrrgh.

yellowflowers · 12/11/2008 13:18

I know - and possibly all for waste as not even ovulated yet according to my temps and opks. don;t think I'll be able to persuade my dh to do same next moth!

lillypie · 12/11/2008 10:24

Bloody hell yellowflowers I'm tired just looking at that

yellowflowers · 12/11/2008 09:49

Hi everyone. How are you all?
Day 18 today and still no sign of ovulation (though have had cycles up to 36 days before so possible just not happened yet). Temp dipped today again so graph currently had 2 recent dips. Have managed to bd so far on days 7/8/10/12/15/16/18 so not quite deanna plan but nearly.

Issy42 · 11/11/2008 22:59

Hi bluesatinsash - sorry, just meant that your cycle day seemed to be a day out compared to the previous list, not that you had updated it incorrectly. Everytime I post it I notice something wrong.

Sorry to hear about your mc. Totally with you on the 2ww can't believe I'm one week in tomorrow and it feels like forever since my IUI.

Wishing - that sounds like a good philosophy.

OK, so another attempt at getting the list right as there was some cross posting earlier:

hi all

this wait is driving me mad, cant think of anything else. im a hairdresser and i find when im doing peoples hair i drift off into a world of ovulation and such.

Wishing · 11/11/2008 22:01

i wish for the 2 ww bluesatinsash and then when it comes it torture!! thinking of you!!

bluesatinsash · 11/11/2008 21:56

Hi wishing and neevyweavy and to everyone else

That's it, I give in - I'm never updating that list again I just take my date add one and do the rest with everyone else but I must be doing it wrong - hurrumph!

Ahh, the egg meets sperm plan - thanks for link - I've stumbled across it before as part of my getting over mc research. I am quite OPK-tastic when it comes to bd but think my cycle is still awry...

This 2ww malarky is blardy hard, my nails are already taking a hit.
