August - first month of TTC? Join me!

[TotorosOcarina]

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?

ps.... saliva test update it does work... in line with my dates I should be ovulating the next few days and sure enough the saliva forms fern like patterns on the minimicroscope, amazing really! Here's some info www.early-pregnancy-tests.com/ovscope.html if anyone is interested! Enjoy the rest of the weekend :)

wooo... petitech fern like patterns in the saliva... you know what to do

Thanks for the link, I might have to get one since the OPK never give me a + though CM and temps say otherwise.

hi all

bf & me are TTC for our first baby. i'm 30 and he is 27, my wee toyboy! we started TTC in August. after a life time of being ultra careful with condoms etc somehow i'd always thought would get pregnant the first time we had unprotected sex. but not so far!

good luck everyone & congrats to cowboylover - quick work!

welcome [love4lady], [goldmaple] i think some things work for some people and others don't... i can't really get the POAS Ov tests to work but this microscope thing seems to work, also find it hard to track CM too... weirdly apparently you can also spot the similar patterns if you put CM on the microscope lens... although probably doing that and then doing the saliva test not the best idea lol!

petitech as if the thought of checking cm isnt gross enough, you have to throw that image at us if my af does come this month i have decided to scrounge a taking charge of your fertility book. shall know this week as i am due around thurday. off to bed now, night all!

sorry just trying to make everyone see the ligher side, , happy Monday everyone!

Well AF not due until Friday but since weekend I have suffered the following:

Sore boobs (very sore)
Pain in ovaries
Tiredness
Back pain
Uncomfortable stomach

If I'm not pg then there is something wrong with me

Will test Friday, can't wait although it's my daughter's 3rd birthday tomorrow so that's a distraction!

please an you pin point where the ovaries are? i am a full grown woman of 30 and dont know where exactly i would feel any pain not that i think i have ever had any ovary pain, but i live in hope

not to sure myself lizandlulu :)

that sounds promising wobblewatcher! fingers crossed for you

today i've had an upset stomach, not nausea ... don't want to go into TMI but the other kind of upset stomach. could this be a sign or have i just caught a bug? bf had a bit of a stomach bug last week

i dont feel pg but every little thing is making me wonder !!

Just very low down and either side-I get it around ovulation and worked out was prob ovaries-couldn't be sure though. It's very achey...

my mil said she used to get it and she could tell when she was ovulating cause of the pain.

But god knows why I have it now, I ov aggggeees ago. Feel like my tummy is really empty too, like a deep hunger despite just eating.

drives you mad spotting every little signal doesn't it... I was exhausted today and ate a cheese roll the size of my face... given that i only just ovulated, pretty darn sure I'm not pg, think it's my mind and hungry tummy playing tricks on me. Sandwich was very nice though hehe :)

lizandlulu does this help...

wobble your post sounds so much like how I'm feeling too, that I've decided to post on here too.

TTC no 3 but it's 9 years since I last did a pregnacy test I wonder how soon is too soon to test? How are you managing to wait!

I'm feeling sick and hungry and don't want to be too far from a loo after any drink

Are the more expensive tests worth the money?

how slowly each day is passing..

Hi eagle wings

There are moments when I'm so so sure, like 100% sure that I'm pregnant that I'm desperate to do a test but others when the possible disappointment just does my head in. If I'm not then I'm sure there must be something wrong with me. My boobs are so sore and I have this odd feeling in my tummy which I had when I was pg with DD. It's like a watery but dull achey feeling. Strange, never had it before apart from during pregnancy.

Oh well, here's hoping.

Good luck and to others...this really is harsh...

Ps I really think it's not worth doing before you are due but saying that, I may succumb...I think first response are ok but others may say different. My thinking is that if you have enough hormone to cause symptoms then surely there would be enough to show on a test but I may be wrong...probably am...

hiya eaglewings, i think we do imagine most of these symptoms cause we are just so damn desperate to be pg again

i used to buy the more expensive tests but ended up spending an absoloute fortune (this was when trying for dd) i really resent wasting money so am trying to hold off testing and so far have only bought the cheapie packs from wilko. about £5 for 2!

lizandlulu sadly I think you could be right and I'll try the cheap tests. Could be many months due to my age before I get a bfp :(

petitech. that link is very interesting thank you

Morning all,

Hope you are all well, did you watch Cherry has a baby last night on BBC 3? Was amazing, especially the story of the woman who had spent years and so much money getting pregnant, had a wee tear when Cherry gave birth at the end. Am sure that all this trying and waiting will be forgotten when the babies start popping up all over :o

Have a good day y'all

no i didnt, i saw it advertised and forgot to sky plus it {sad}

aww sounds sweet. that could be us in nine months time!!

anyone got any news?

my stomach is still upset, dont feel deep down that i'm pg tho. but when i think its a possibility it makes me so happy! was just going to leave things to chance & see what happens but thinking about getting a test kit now, time of the month is due Sept 21st

I'm going to test after Friday as one website I went on said I wasn't due till sat. Still feel very very different, ESP in my tummy/womb, and breasts.

Fingers crossed for us all...

AAAARRRGGggghhhhhhhhhAAAAAArrrrrrr

ITCHY NIPPLES'!!!!!!!!!!!!
