Hiya,

I put August as its a little late for July!

I'm TTC number 4(!)

Due to test on the 15th August but don't think we have much chance this month as its only our first and DH has been ill for a few days and now I've got the bug, so not much romance happening!

So just wonderded if anyone is just starting TTC and wanted to join me?

i bougth a clearblue digital last night, and that was neg, so just waiting for af to arrive nowSad

KLou111 · 13/11/2010 14:02

Bollocks!!!! Still may not show yet though liz

Well, I'm meant to be Oving Tuesday, fertile now. I'm not getting any EWCM so hopefully I'm OVing. Gonna get some grapefruit juice and EPO for next month if nothing happens. May invest in some OV sticks too.

Sorry to hear that liz

I've got to wait unitl Tuesday unitl I'll know either way. Feeling sick all the time, but the sort where it helps to eat, not helping me get into the Little Black Dress next month!

I felt sick like this 2 months ago and nothing happened so not too hopeful yet

Would really love another summer baby, bbut it maybe 2012 at this rate Hmm

GruffaloMama · 14/11/2010 08:55

oh liz sorry. Lots of hugs. eaglewings - that sounds positive 0- and at least it'd be compensation for not fitting into the dress... 'klou guess you're 'busy' - good luck.

I think I got a positive test this morning. It was an internet cheapy and very faint so not counting my chickens just yet. Will buy another type later to check. Fingers crossed...

KLou111 · 14/11/2010 11:12

OMG Gruffalo!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Told you you all sounded hopeful!!!

Let us know about the other test, but as they say, A LINE IS A LINE!!!!!!

KLou111 · 14/11/2010 11:12

PS, yes been busy Grin

GruffaloMama · 14/11/2010 14:23

Hi - went for a Clearblue digital and it came up positive and conception 1-2 weeks ago - which is right by my dates. Smile Obviously delighted but a bit Shock. Had convinced myself it hadn't worked this month. Here's hoping for everyone. Hope it's okay to lurk a bit - really rooting for you all.

KLou111 · 14/11/2010 15:05

CONGRATULATIONS Gruffalo So pleased for you and very Envy
Hope a couple more BFP's coming our way!!!

lizandlulu · 15/11/2010 10:58

oh wow congratulations gruffalo, ditto what klou saidGrin

KLou111 · 15/11/2010 11:52

Well, I've got EWCM today at last!!! Only teeny tiny bit, but it's there so hopefully Oving!! Plenty of little swimmers in there awaiting there prize :)

MadKatz · 15/11/2010 13:20

Congratulations Gruffalo

Tested Saturday and yesterday, both BFN's so now assuming it was an odd period and starting again.

Good Luck girls for this cycle x

lizandlulu · 15/11/2010 14:57

i am starting to think i ovulated late. i had ewm last sunday while i was in new york, but seeing as it was so close to my af being due, i didnt think nothing of it really. so if that was late ovulation, that would explain why my af hasnt come. we did lots of bd'ing from the monday when i got back, so might have caught the time right ifswim?

KLou111 · 15/11/2010 15:38

Hopefully liz not long to test if so :)

MadKatz · 15/11/2010 16:01

Liz, according to 'Taking Charge of your fertility' travel can play havoc with your cycles and can cause late OV's and AF's, so I wouldnt be surprised.

GruffaloMama · 15/11/2010 16:03

thanks all.

Sorry Madkatz - might be your body adjusting after the chemical preg? So hopefully this month will be normal and good to go.

Liz that definitely sounds convincing - and good timing. Klou hope the little swimmers are doing their thing.

lizandlulu · 15/11/2010 16:44

madkatz, i have read that bit too, sounds promising, but i am trying not to think about it! dh is going away tomorrow on a lads holiday till sat so will be kept busy enough to take my mind off it i thinkSmile

good luck to everyone else this time round.

KLou111 · 15/11/2010 17:25

Sorry about you BFN's MadKatz x

eaglewings · 15/11/2010 19:06

:(

Had a nap yesterday afternoon (post Sunday lunch) went to bed feeling pregnant, eg feeling sick etc - woke up feeling v different. Now started spotting so expect it'll start in the next day or so as usual.

Never got a bfp as it was too early to test so could all be in my imagination

KLou111 · 15/11/2010 19:47

Could it be implantation spotting?? Keep thinking positive x

lizandlulu · 16/11/2010 11:25

have you had any more bleeding eaglewings?

eaglewings · 16/11/2010 11:36

Thanks for asking, sadly its full blown bleeding and cramps today although I kept hoping all day yesterday.

Feel much sadder this month as I really hoped for a summer baby (selfish I know) and felt that there was a real chance. Still, there must be a good reason it didn't implant if I did conceive.

Onto the next cycle and Boots to get the Persona sticks Confused

KLou111 · 16/11/2010 12:35

Sorry eaglewing September is still Summer so fingers tightly crossed for next month :)

lizandlulu · 16/11/2010 14:18

i know what you mean eaglewings i was hoping to be pg before now as i didnt really want to spend the hottest part of summer heavily pregnant, now though i just dont care!

MadKatz · 17/11/2010 08:42

Ditto Liz, not lookig forward to being pg in the hot weather, but more than anything I just want to be pg!

lizandlulu · 17/11/2010 09:20

to be honest, i hated being pg with dd. i had all the horrible symptoms, back ache, heart burn, no sleep, constantly needing the loo, and i remember saying to someone who asked how i was, that i felt awful and cant wait for it to be over. i definately didnt bloom! but if thats what it takes to complete our family, then so be it.
