trying for a September baby, anyone want to join?

hi - gateau - just wanted to say that i have cycles anywhere between 22 and 26 days - i think its normal if its normal for you if you see what i mean? didnt seem to matter when conceiving dd but am having more difficult this time and did wonder if cycles were long enough - gp seemed to think so although am waiting for results of blood tests to confirm ov this month. sorr about af - think i will be joining you on an oct thread soon as pretty sure af is on its way.

hi snowfalls and everyone else

Hi all, I'm a lurker I'm afraid. Been reading all your posts.
Also TTC for a September baby. Think I might be going a little crazy - I think I have morning sickness, but if we have conceived the earliest it could have been is 5 days ago - is it impossible that I could have morning sickness that quickly?
The smell of chocolate made me feel horribly nauseaus (sp?) earlier, and I have been sick twice, but other than that I feel pretty well in myself.

Am I being crazy?
Thanks,

hi girls!!

hope your all well... still here with no AF. but all of u with AF join the bottom so we can stick together during this ttc business

thinking of you all and hoping that you all get lucky soon x

Gettingstarted, i would see the doc, if you are going mad (inside) then there are things in oral form. Thank godness you have a great donnor who is on "tap" lol....Has your Af came? If so....go luck next month....

Gateau....my cycle was shorter which was strange for me, this time i have ov 5 days early, that for me is just unheard off! I ov on day 17/18, this time day 13. I was lucky that i started the bking on day 10, just decided to do ov kit because i didnt feel right (pain in lower tummy alot earlier) so i got a smiley face on kit last night, 5 days ealier than i should have. Like you i wondered if it was normal. So do look out for your ov to start earlier, just incase. My hubby will be glad if we get pregnant, so he can get some peace! None for at least another 3 nights!!!

MOrethan, thank you. I'll get a basal body temp chart, I think. It helps me think I'm doing something positive, I suppose. I used it and then got pg with my DS.
gettingstarted, shall we start a 'trying for an October baby' thread? A fresh start and all that..Better than ligering on this one, I reckon.
So does anyone know if a cycle as short as 22-23 days is normal?

I thought you only got a period because you were ovulating and the egg hasn't implanted in the womb lining (something we're all bloody wishing for here!) I think it's consoling.
Do those of us who have started AF come off this list now or join on the bottom as second time round? (MN virgin still)

Hi Gateau

If you were to chart your basal body temperature for a month you should be able to see a pattern on the chart that confirmed ovulation (it would have a lower first section and higher section of temertures the second part of the month) so it's relatively easy (if not quick) to check.

Good luck for next month ...let me know if you want more info about charting.

Morning ladies,
Sadly my name needs to be taken off the list. My AF arrived this morning.
I got a surprise actually as I wasn't expecting it until later this week. So this cycle has been only 22-23 days long when it's normally 24-25. Is this normal? Maybe my recent ms cycle has messed things up a little, I don't know.
And this may sound like an ignorant question, but is it guaranteed that when you have a period you are still ovulating? Or is it possible to have a period without OV?
I just want to be consoled that as least I am ovulating!!

Haven't been on for a while but congratulations to you 2manychips!

Finished work now until a week on Monday so will start bding thi week and hopefully keep it up for at least ten days (every second day for about 2 weeks). DH looking forward to it!

Hope everyone is ready for Christms and to those testing this week hope you get the best Christmas preesnt!

Good to have you back morethan!

Hi All
I've got my sense of humour back now after AF started to subside

Wasn't sure if I should update the whole list or not but I need demoting to the bottom since the witch arrived

However it is great to see the BFP's appearing and I am hoping to stay with this thread as my cycles vary 24-31 days I am still in with a chance for Sept 09.

Off to look at the slimming world site to try for a healthy christmas week

Fingers crossed for some more BFP's for the Sept 09 thread x

Trixie! Get thee to a supermarket to stock up on matches! Good luck with your 2ww!

Well, all that BDing seems to have given me a touch of cystitis, which is only mildly annoying (actually, it makes me feel about 15 years younger!). I'm on CD18 of a usually 27/8 -day cycle, managed to BD on CD11, CD13, CD16, and CD17. No opks, no temping, was determined to be casual about this but am now driving myself MENTAL wondering if it happened, and kicking myself for not just biting the bullet and tracking my cycle properly.

AF due on 31/12, ten days from now. I have some First Response EPTs and they say that more than 60% of pg users get a BFP up to 6 days before AF is due. So here I am wondering if it's all possible to get a BFP tomorrow. Logically I know it's a waste of an EPT, but I WANT TO KNOW. Like I said, mental. Must find something else to do, like building a model ship out of matchsticks. Gah.

littlepea72 my "oh so fertile friend" who managed first time swears on pregnacare + doing it every day for a week after OV was +tive plus lying with legs up for AN HOUR - clearly not as much work to take home with her as I have , I've only managed half an hour... but she was very successful. Have told donor the week plan. Booked him in from Sat 3rd at the moment, at least I know what to expect this time . No AF today as expected, but horrendous thrush after antibiotics this week -evil- pharmacist said nothing was certified safe for treatment when ttc, but taking the risk with cream as insides are on fire . Definite conspiracy!

Many congrats 2manychips!!!!!

Sorry to hear about the bfn gettingstarted, I've always tried to start the bd fest just before I ov, so there's some swimmers hanging around when the egg does pop out. It's hard if you don't have a regular cycle, I usually ov on cd 15, but I watch my cervical mucus like a hawk (and check the position of my cervix if I remember) and as soon as it's showing signs of my fertile time (ewcm and cervix very high and soft) then we start bding, I don't wait for the positive on an opk. It worked twice for me.

sans I don't know what that pain might be, I hope it's implantation. Difficult to tell unless you feel it yourself. I usually know what implantation pain feels like, but I think it's different for everyone. Some don't even feel it at all. I'm keeping all things crossed for you!

I've updated the list, I hope I've got everyone right...

congrats 2manychips!!
tested again now and bfn- dam! think i am just over-symptom-spotting. AF will probably arrive soon then.such a waiting game

Oh my goodness, 2manychips - how exciting! Hope the spotting is just implantation bleeding.

hey,havent posted on this thread for a while but I've been watching you! I've had bfp's this week but also had a bleed so not sure whats going on but I'll join the bfp list if I may? Good luck ladies.

Hurray for olivo!! So exciting! Hope the feeling sick isn't too intrusive.

Sorry for the BFN, gettingstarted. Here's to a better result next time.

Gettingstarted, i use the ov kit also, always did the business on the day or the day after, it just doesnt seem to be working for me that way. Im a bit confussed about my ovulation and i am questioning the kit. So this month i am going to start now and do it every other day, then when i ov which should be about the 25th, then i will try 4 days in a row...if that doesnt work then im stumped! I dont know anything about using the syringe but i would of thought its just the same (well the outcome anyways lol), i dont envy you on that one
If you have an idea on when you ov then i would start before it, it can only help. Its just so heartbreaking when you get you BFN, trying not to get excited doesnt work....hope you get a better result next month

Just got BFN, due tomorrow. Must not test next month and just wait, it's not nice. I am trying to work out how many days I need to do BDing for (or the nasty syringe version that is worse than you'd think) Tried 3 days this time. Do I go for the whole week? Did it the day ov kit showed positive then next 2, any tips?
