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.

Congratulations thepippy really pleased for you. Hope it works out for you this time, I second the sticky thoughts!

Olivo I am still here... same as you not sure if I have ov'd yet as I thought I had, OPK's and EWCM, but no temperature rise yet... not sure what to think and poor DP is exhausted

HomeintheSun · 10/12/2008 07:55

Congratulation ThePippy I'm still lurking waiting for the BD'ing to start CD10 today, I'm out babysitting tonight, Thurs, Fri and Sat so will have to find the time and energy to fit it in.

HeadFairy · 09/12/2008 21:49

What other ov signs have you got olivo? I often get a second batch of ewcm after I've ov'd which is a hormonal blip I believe.

HeadFairy · 09/12/2008 21:48

I'm still here olivo. So grimly determined that whatever month the next baby is born in he/she will damn well celebrate their birthday in August

Spotting has stopped I now have a very odd burning sensation behind my pubic bone. V odd, trying not to think about what it might be. It's prob cos I've been at my desk all day and these jeans aren't the loosest (or I'm not the slimmest )

olivo · 09/12/2008 20:14

Congratulations, thepippy! great to hear some positive news.
sorry to those who AF has visited.
Is everyone off to hte spetmeber threads - am i going to be left all alone?
smallone, good luck for Friday.
ilovebeingamummy, if you're around, so sorry to hear your news.
still not sure what is going on in my cycle, thought i had ov-ed but now more ov symptoms! it can't happen nmore than once per cycle, can it?

Issy42 · 09/12/2008 19:59

Congratulations ThePippy .

Sorry to those whose AF arrived .

Thanks for the good wishes sans04, hope the plan works for you this month.

Wishing and bubblebell - hope you get some answers soon.

Good luck everyone xx.

ThePippy · 09/12/2008 19:47

Thanks SmallOne, and don't test yet! I only did it because of my need to drink wine at every opportunity

I will be thinking of you on Friday and sending lots of baby dust your way

smallone · 09/12/2008 19:28

Sorry to those who've been visited by AF

bubblebell Hugs to you, If I was you I wouldn't be able to do anything but bite my hands off. I hope you get your answer sooner rather than later. Good or bad.

Congrats to thepippy my cycle buddy, thats making me a bit twitchy to test tomorrow! But I'm resolved to wait til at least fri. So remind me of that!

wishing please send some of your patience my way! I hope you can keep as strong as you seem to be now.

spats · 09/12/2008 19:25

congrats thepip. Don't worry about crossing poss, i have done that also and made boobs in the past. Have fun on the pregnancy threads and good luck. x

ThePippy · 09/12/2008 19:08

Thanks girls.

Headfairy, I am not that good, but I just guilted myself into thinking everything I did caused the MC that I am super paranoid now.

Thanks for the sticky thoughts bubblebell1 - I hope they work!

I will have to go and lurk on the pregnancy room now too - how exciting!

HeadFairy · 09/12/2008 18:57

Aw, thepippy, that's great news, what a lovely suprise for you. You are good aren't you, I'd have just drunk the wine and then done a guilt test the next day. My spotting has stopped for now, so I'm not giving up just yet, but I'm also telling myself it's only a matter of time, so I'm not too disappointed when it does happen.

Sorry to hear about af spats I'll probably see you on the September thread in a few days.

bubblebell1 · 09/12/2008 18:56

CONGRATULATIONS thepip

im soo pleased its about time we had another BFP

sending sticky thoughts to you

ThePippy · 09/12/2008 18:53

Really sorry spats, I posted that before I read your post. Sorry if I sounded really insensitive, I know how miserable it is when AF arrives!

ThePippy · 09/12/2008 18:51

Hello, sorry for not responding to all the encouraging messages to me - I am under the control of the internet police at work and I didn't want them seeing me looking at conception chat rooms, and have been too busy in the evenings to even log on!

Well, I am home alone tonight (hubby at his Xmas party) with a stinking cold, and as I was feeling sorry for myself I decided it would be nice to have a glass (or several) of wine. However as I am CD 28 today with the visit from AF due tomorrow I figured I should cave in to the callings from the medicine cabinet and test just to make sure - I figured I would know it was BFN by tomorrow anyway so being disappointed a day early wouldn't matter.

Anyway, I am now shaking because I got a BFP!!!! I am very happy and very scared at the same time after loosing my last baby and only finding out at my 12 weeks scan. I don't know what to do with myself and I can't even talk to my hubby until tomorrow cos he will no doubt come in far too drunk to have a reasonable discussion with.

I do so desperately hope this one works out, I'm not sure I could cope with another loss!

Anyway, here is the updated list...Good luck to everyone else still awaiting their result for this month...

aww spats im sorry that AF has turned up... there are 2 sept threads come and join

spats · 09/12/2008 18:46

AF got me today as well. Felt very teary at work and was sent home coz crying. THink may have a bug as well. However does mean get to drink on my b'day on 20th and at the xmas party on 23rd and on xmas day. Also thanks (i think) to agnus castus i had a respectable 12 days luteal phase this month instead of a 10 , maybe 11 day, so next month if i take it again may do even better. Which thread you all going to, is there a sept one? x

HeadFairy · 09/12/2008 18:07

Well, it's stopped for now, but I'm feeling rather crampy so I think it's just a matter of time. Poor you. It's not often we think "I wish af would come". I don't know if it's the right thing to say, but I hope it comes soon. I'm off to stock up on Robitussin and grapefruit juice

bubblebell1 · 09/12/2008 15:22

oh head im sorry.... i wont give up my day job to read tea leaves just yet

wish my af would come

HeadFairy · 09/12/2008 14:51

Bubblebell, hope you find out some good news soon. It all does sound extremely mysterious.

Hate to burst your bubble (geddit??) bubblebell, but I just got a little pink smear so I reckon af is on her way. Next ov due Christmas day, so no excuse, no "I'm working, I'm tired, I'm full, I'm playing with my new Christmas presents" I'm full on serious for this month!!! Poor dh won't know what's hit him.

So sorry to hear about ilovebeingmummy Hope she's not too devastated.

bubblebell1 · 09/12/2008 14:32

unfortunatly ilovebeingamummy has had a mc

she is on another thread its very sad and am sending her more big hugs

bubblebell1 · 09/12/2008 14:30

Hey girls!!

how are you all?

well... i went to the drs yesterday and he said.... well you are either pregnant or your period is due anytime now. he told me to go and get some more tests and test again in a few days if AF hasnt arrived.

then last night i had awful aches and pains around my hips and in my lower abdomen and my boobs felt heavy and hurt when they wernt in my bra. i was sure AF would arrive this morn but again there was nothing.

TMI ALERT i told him that i have ewcm in abudance and there is so much of it i think that its my period coming but when i check there is nothing but this ewcm.

i have no idea whats going on... im 2 wks late today and ive never been this late before.

im so fed up i just want to get on with getting pregnant but i feel helpless as im out of control.

head ive got my fingers crossed for you... i have a funny feeling that its goin to be good news sometime soon

come on girls cheer me up bring on the BFPs

HeadFairy · 09/12/2008 12:43

Afternoon everyone, just updating the list, I hope I've got everyone right. Has anyone heard from beckyjamie and littlecheese?

Sorry to hear about your bfn bubblebell, hope the docs can give you some answers. Let us know what they say.

Sorry to hear about af LJ and Lillypie.

I'm not going to say anything more about me cos I'm trying not to think about it

Im on CD 24 now, and still no temperature rise... I think i have a usual cycle of 33 days, although last month was longer, but that was the first "proper" one after the MC. Now I am worrying that the reason for the MC was a short lutal phase and that even if I do get BFP this month it won't make any difference as my lutal phase is so short. I know I shouldn't worry about it until I am sure, but I can't help it!

Sorry Forces and Lilly better luck this month!

lillychristmaspuddingandpie · 09/12/2008 09:35

I'm out too AF arrived bang on time this morning

Good luck everyone x

ForcesSweetheart · 08/12/2008 17:31
