trying for a September baby, anyone want to join?

I wouldnt worry too much. A lot of women (me included) who werent trying or expecting to be pregnant have done all sorts to their bodies.
I was suffering terrible migraines when I concieved ds and was talking tension headache tablets like smarties.
I also got horrendously drunk (again didnt have a clue)
My friend went to Alton Towers when she was about 3 months, totally unaware and enjoyed the rides.

I think those of us who are actively ttc stress over little things which may not necessarily be in the best interests of our babies but have nonetheless been done by millions of women unknowingly before the get a BFP.

Hi.
Littlepea and HeadFairy great to know that someone else is waiting as well. Fingers crossed for all of us!

Hi Minx I didn't mean to up set anyone, are you ok?

I signed up for it some info I think it was called either 7 ways or 10 ways to get pregnant quickly, by Beth Kiley this is the web site the info came from.

www.cleanair.org/CEH/CEHNewsroom/Painkillerssj.htm.

I read it this and couldn't help but wonder, this month I was so sure I was pregnant (I know it was probably wishful thinking) I had cramping, and a bit of spotting, my boobs hurt like hell along with other things. I hurt my neck and took some ibuprofin and about 24 hours later I came on but really heavy and yesterday I passed (sorry if tmi)a couple of clots the size of a golf ball. But I guess I'll never know if it was an early loss or a heavy period. I won't be taking it in future though.

Do you have a link homeinthesun?

Have just had a quiet cry to myself thinknig there's something really wrong with me

Hi I signed up with a thing that sends me regular advice on what to do and what to avoid to get pregnant and I was sent this yesterday which I found informative and thought I would share it.

When you are trying to get pregnant, it is very important to be aware of what pain medication you may be taking, as some can increase the risk of miscarriage or prevent conception. Basically, you should avoid all painkillers other than acetaminophen or Paracetamol (otherwise known as Tylenol), which have no harmful effects. But do avoid ibuprofin, aspirin, and others, which could effect the ability of the embryo to implant into the womb. The embryo may not implant at all (no pregnancy) or it can implant poorly,resulting in an early miscarriage. The most dangerous time to be taking these medications is when you are approaching ovulation.

Hello everyone, what a lot of news to catch up on, sorry if I forget everyone's names, but just wanted to add my congrats to those with bfps... evie, bexxa and trixi I think (blimey, I'm lazy, how hard it it to scroll down? )

Issy, crikey, just read your story on the other thread. I hope you do get your bfp and manage to avoid the ivf, but on the other hand I can see it would be complicated. I hope you get what you want, whatever it is!

Minx, (great name change btw, I hope it brings you luck) I hope you get some answers soon and that your hormone levels just haven't risen enough yet to trigger the bfp.

Snowfalls, I'm due on the 6th or thereabouts too, we'll have to do some virtual hand holding, although I'm fairly certain I'm out for this month. Already getting pre af signs, and we only managed one bd thanks to my horrendous cold.

Bubblebell, that sounds awful, I hope those pains don't return. I don't know if it's related but after my mc the first time I ov'd was mega painful, I had normal ov pains at the beginning but they lasted ages, four days or so, and eventually the whole of my lower back was in agony and the pain wrapped around my waist. I thought something was seriously wrong with me, but I just took paracetamol as I was truly fed up of doctors and midwives by then. I've ov'd twice since and it's not returned, so hopefully if it is the same as me, then you won't get it again.

I've just updated the list because for some reason I was on cd 30. My heart skipped a beat when I read that, I thought I'd totally lost track of days and I was actually 2 days late. Sadly not... still on cd 23

Hi everyone still mistified as to whats' going on with me, cd35 no af and another bfn . Boobs still hurt like mad, worse in the eve.

WTF is going on!!!!!!

My only theory is that I ov'd v late maybe on cd26 instead of 14-17 which is usual for me. If so af due in a week or so.

too late to do any bd now i've worked that out although did have a drunken fumble in xmas eve (with MiL in the house .

Ho hum yet more waiting......

Bubblebell I hope you get anwsers soon, it does sound pretty severe I've had some quite severe ov pains before though that have bent me double lasting a ocuple of hours or so, not enough to go to hosp though. Hope you're ok. xx

Bubble i dont know what it could be, i remember when i had my Op, i lost the baby, it took ages for my body to get back into place. Sometimes i would have pain so bad, and it felt like someone was sticking hot needles in places , but i would be doubled up. I had to go for a scan to see if they had left anything in the womb, but it was clear, just my body which wasnt a nice experience. Go for the scan, it will put your mind at rest, and if it is ov then at least you be prepared for what is to come. I hope all will be well with you.

Snowfalls, we will find out at the same time...the waiting is crap!! Ive already tested twice, why i dont know, its way to early!! lol...

Happy new year to you all, and congrats on all the BFPs! Especially good to know that you can still BD once and get PG - takes the heat off. Now what does anyone reckon: we BD'd day 10, 12, 13, 14 and 15 - is that enough? Can we stop now? Am beginning to feel like a sperm bucket. No idea when I ov'd as not temping or stick-peeing this month, so am leaving it to chance in a bid to feel more relaxed / less obsessive. Only thing is, we got drunk on CD14 (well, it was Hogmanay) so am hoping the gynae who told me it was okay to drink on the day of conception was right, as I must admit I felt a bit foolish / guilty for doing so when I'm ttc. Oh well, people have done worse I suppose and the main thing is that DH could still "perform", despite getting hammered. Sorry, that's probably TMI. So it's the 2ww for me now - HATE IT HATE IT. The first week isn't so bad, but the second week, when you COULD test and it MIGHT show so you DO test and it's a BFN and then AF is late... AARGH! Snowfalls, I sympathise. Minx, like the new name, good idea. Issy, you naughty girl! And dear Bubble, thinking of you and sorry for your pain. Sounds far to severe to be ovulation pains but I'm no doctor.

Has anyone else read every single webpage relating to how soon you can test after conception, oh and every single page relating to symptoms while trying to fit them to those that I'm having.
Aaaaa! Driving myself barmy.

AF not due until the 8th. That's 6 days. 6 very long days. And even then if I OV'd when I think I did I wouldn't get a BFP. From my extensive reading (!) it would seem that the earliest I could expect a BFP would be the 9th and probably later.

Doesn't help being the only one in the office. Gives me more time to browse sites. At least Radio 1 is playing lots of cheese!

Hi all. Just popping in again to say congrats to Trixie and hi to bubblebell - how awful for you, did you go for the scan today? Keep us posted.

I'm not going to join the thread but due to a miscalculation on my part and being a bit naughty there is a very small chance that I could be on for September after all, though there will be repercussions if I am. Full story on this thread.

Good luck everyone and Happy New Year xxx

hi everyone!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

congrats to those with bfps and good luck to those on the 2ww.

well... i had an awfull new years eve. at about 3pm i had the most awful pains down low on my left side sharp and extreamly painfull. i couldnt stand up straight and it was making me feel sick. it wouldnt shift so i called the dr out at about 11pm and was taken to hosp.
had a pt which was neg urine samples clear but my womens bits were so so tender and painfull. i was given painkillers and monitered. i came home yest and was told to come back for a scan today if i was still in pain. they said they didnt know what was causing the pains but the pains have just stopped. im still a little tender but i dont even need to take painkillers.

(tmi alert) so after bucket loads of ewcm i had a check and my cervix has disappeared out of reach.

please someone tell me that those pains were not ovulation pains because i dont think i could survive another bout of that and the pains makes my sex drive vanish.

i am hoping AF turns up soon. im fed up and feel like ive waited forever and some for dc3

Updated for today and added snowfall back in.

Homeinthesun sorry AF got you, but welcome to the bottom of the list, was beginning to worry I'd end up hanging around here on my own.

littlepea and irishmumwannabe crossing everything for you. Symptoms sound hopeful, and this does seem to be a lucky thread!

Hello all,

My name appears to have vanished from the list somewhere along the line.
I am now officially in the 2WW.
CD23 and BDing on days 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17, 19, and 21! Here's hoping!
Off skiing this weekend so that should distract me. AF due on the 8th. Which is actually only 6 days away.

I reckon I OV'd on around CD19 though, does this mean that tests won't work for longer than if I'd OV'd on CD14?

Hope all are well, and happy New Year!
Snowfalls

Congrats trixie - fab news.
SOrry to forces and all those who have had bad news - fingers crossed for next month.

congratulations trixie - what a fab start to the new year.
fingers crossed for the rest of you.
littlepea, not wanting to get your hopes up but my boobs are much worse at night, so here's hoping for you.

OMG Trixie I was thinking about you only yesterday cos I knew you were due to test. I am only delighted for you congratulations.

Can't believe all the BFPs are rolling in. Hopefully this will eb teh luckiest thread ever.

As for me I am only 5 DPO and I feel quiet ill. Was up at 3 o'clock in the bathroom, and now feel like I am abuot to throw up as well so hopefully that'll pass as it's far too early to be a symptom, ....isn't it? [hmmm]

(Irishmumwannabe heads off to make a cup of tea and hopefully settle her stomach. )See you all later.

Trixie....wonderful new!! We are starting to get alot of good news

Im in 2 minds with myself, so im going to say i dont think i am and just wait. Yes i feel sick and i get tired, but my boobs only really hurt like hell on and off through the day (mostly at night), surley it would be 24/7?? Andways, well done everyone & i hope we keep adding names to the BFPs xx

Happy New Year everyone

Fab news! Congrats Trixie.

oh trixie that's fantastic great news! sending luck and sticky dust your way! xx

Wow ladies!! Congratulations Trixie, Evie and Bexaa!! Wonderful news for the start of a fresh new year! Really hoping all your beans stick, and that this thread keeps being so lucky!

Forces and Homeinthesun so sorry AF caught you Hoping the new 2009 cycle will be a lucky one for you both xx

Well I guess I'm officially into the 2WW, but determined not to obsess as got a few very busy weeks so shouldn't have much of a chance to think about things...or get on MN!

Good luck all- lots of New Year's babydust to everyone!

Hi all - congrats to Bexaa and Evie2000! Very sorry to hear about the disappointing results this past week, though. As if Christmastime and New Year weren't stressful and emotional enough.

I'm checking in from our week in the country with a gang of friends to report...after testing repeatedly TOO EARLY and working myself up into a lather over BFNs, but continuing to have sore boobs and feel vaguely tired, AF was due today, I tested, and oh my stars there was a BFP. Can't quite believe it, am trying to come up with plausible reasons for not drinking while surrounded by my lovely borderline alcoholic friends and bursting with news I don't feel right sharing as some of said friends are having a pig of a time TTC. But anyway. BFP! Here's hoping it sticks; I didn't have a problem with that last time but I'm all too aware that you never know...

Hi all, not on this thread but just dropping by to see how you're all doing and wanted to congratulate all the BFPs . Great news. Good luck everyone else still waiting.

Wow, congrats bexaa and evie!! So happy for all of you BFPs this month.
I've removed myself from the list as evil AF arrived on Tuesday morning. Was 3 days later than I was expecting based on when I think I ov'd, so I'm hoping that's a good sign that the b6 I started taking this month is working to lengthen my pathetic 9 day luteal phase. If I did ov when I think I did that gives me a 12 day LP. Think I may temp this month to try and get a more confirmed ov date and know for sure if the b6 is working.
Actually, just working out dates after something Irishmumwannabe said, and if I was to conceive in this newly begun cycle I'd still have a September baby, as based on my dates my due date would be around 7th October, but being diabetic I'd be delivered 2 weeks early again, making actual due date around Sept 23rd! Will add myself back to the bottom of the list.
U still feeling rough littlepea? Really hope it's a good sign for you.
