Aiming for August 2012 BFP!!

[Newbie2]

Hi ladies,

For those of us out of the July game there are not many places to hide so I thought I'd start a new August thread to give us all some positive vibes!

Cycle 3 - BFP August 6th

sunshine - I forced dh into doing the dtd this month when we were both ill! it was a labour of love believe me!!!
was that your first cycle since bf? maybe it was just your body still with hormones and it will start shortening down? It could be the same for me except id have thought 3 months on would be getting back on track? Im only 3 days over my longest cycle but when I have had 25 day cycles and this is 35 and im desperate to concieve its really doing my head in!

I was taking epo to get EWCM.

Kitty my cycles have ranged from 27-43 days over the past year! So frustrating and annoying!

Hubby's booking his sperm test in for Friday. Means we can start dtd this weekend which is cd8/9 so good timing.

Ah ok, thank sunshine
I'm not taking anything apart from a santogen mother-to-be thing - it's for before and after conception and contains folic acid etc.

I'm hoping for a -ve pg test by the end of the wkend so hopefully I might start ov soon!

August is less than a week away ladies - exciting times ahead!!

Good luck to our 1st bunch of testers frustrated, lime, thequeen and dexi

Fx for BFP's for you all, cheers

I cannot wait for August to begin

I've got my fingers crossed for you all.

I know this sounds selfish but I'm pleased I'm testing in the second half of the month. Last month all the bfps were great, but I'd already had my bfn at the beginning and knew I was out for July, so although I was pleased for people, I was a bit jealous and 'why not me' at the same time.

This cycle I'll be on the 2ww while a lot are testing .... I think this might make the days go faster for me and I'm hoping there's lots of bfps for you all.

Obviously even if I get a bfn - which to be honest I'm expecting this month, I feel very differently to how I did last month when I was sure it was going to happen - I'll still be pleased for you all and still want the testers after me to get bfps too.

As soon as I've had a -ve test, I'm going to start testing about 2 weeks after that as I have no idea when af is due!

I feel like 'why not me' this evening :(

Oh winkle I'm sorry. I wish there was some kind of fairness to this ttc thing. You're quite early in this cycle aren't you? I think you're still getting over last cycles shit-ness and it will be a little while before you're ready to feel ok for this cycle. I was the same when af came this time that's why I wasn't posting very much until now. Give yourself a break and it's ok to think 'it isn't fucking fair' because it isn't

Thanks :)

Only on CD5ish. Hubby's going for his sperm analysis tomorrow.

Then we start dtd eod from Monday.

Sorry that was meant to try and cheer you up, not sound really depressing. It will happen, I'm sure, you just need to give yourself treats in the meantime. By the time ov's coming around you'll be ready to face it with a positive attitude

I know I know :)

Well put sunshine!

winkle I feel exactly the same this evening- have been crying a bit too feeling sorry for myself

Hi everyone :)

I've been lurking around but haven't posted much - at 7DPO today so halfway through the dreaded 2ww - on the list for the 4th, but think I'm going to test next Thursday 2nd (if no AF) as will be away from DH for the Friday - Sunday so want to do it with him before I go, not feeling optimistic though!

We all definitely need to plan some lovely things over the weekend to keep our spirits up, either waiting for ov or on the 2ww. It is very easy to become maudlin.

I'm 8dpo and keep thinking about the possibility of using a FRER this weekend but I know logically this is a stupid idea and I should wait. I'm going out with a friend for lunch on Saturday and was worrying about whether I should have the usual couple of glasses of wine, again I know that this wouldn't do any harm but I don't feel very logical at the moment, the madness has definitely begun!

Hi lets and dexi 7 & 8 dpo is where it really gets hard. I know what you mean about worrying about having a drink. It really won't matter at this stage though.

9dpo (but 5 days of AF) It's too early and i'd get a -ive if I POAS now, right?

Frustrated- yes,it's too early and you'll only drive yourself mental. Youre unlikely to get a positive (because it's too early) and if you get a negative you'll feel a bit shit, and not believe it anyway- a complete head fuck.

Step away from the toilet! A tip whe I get the urge- pee (to get rid of fmu) and then drink lots of water- no point in testing with diluted wee!

I know its hard xxx

Wishful that's a very good tip :)

Oh fatas :( Hope you're feeling better this morning.

Fingers crossed for you dexi and letsdothis

My monitor started asking for sticks this morning so here we go again

Sorry for my woe is me post last night, I'd had 2 glasses of wine!

Interestingly because I have no AF and got a smiley last Sunday (which could have been a false alarm) I am still testing for OV which is taking my mind off the 2ww (I guess I don't feel like its a proper 2ww if I'm still checking for OV and DtD EOD).

winkle hop you're ready to get winkling!

Yes thanks winkle - hope you are also feeling better! Am still waiting for cd1 here as spotting pre-AF has been ongoing for 2-3 days now so may be tomorrow or day after and I can think about getting going again!!

Good luck to all those on the 2ww and any who need extra strength re not POAS too early - good tip wishful!

Hi fatas sorry you're feeling down.... start of cycle blues it will pass I promise

To everyone on 2ww - STEP AWAY FROM THE STICKS!!!

A very big dark positive will be so much better than a creepy, unsure of itself line.

Positive thoughts to all of you. Wish I could wish you all pregnant
