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

Thanks kick A few big changes have happened in my life in the last couple of weeks so I will have a much less stressful job and a much much much much better work/life balance.

Thanks dexi I am going to phone dr tomorrow. I've had a bit of brown discharge again tonight and just want to know what's going on.

As for alcohol, I didn't exactly go off it but as soon as I knew I was pg, I felt so protective that I just didn't want to drink any.

KickTheGuru · 30/07/2012 19:04

Yeh I think that's normal. We become so keen to protect the baby

How long have you been TTCing for?

SunshineOutdoors · 30/07/2012 19:33

woody just want to send you virtual support again. Go to the doctors and give yourself some treats. It's very early days but I can feel how frustrating it must be for you.

winkle2 · 30/07/2012 23:12

Dtd #1 done! Currently winkling!

KickTheGuru · 30/07/2012 23:34

DTD done here too!! Supplements taken. We started with rump pumpy on wed, Fri, sun and today.

So that is cd6, 8, 10, 11

Started using up my opks yesterday sowill see if i get a positive this cycle

NicolaHazel · 31/07/2012 06:32

I DTD too...tail end of OV for me though, so not sure how much benefit it will have been. But it was also make up sex, so we needed it anyway!

I am one of the unlucky 20% who have pain during OV, so I'm glad it's done with for a few weeks (hopefully longer!).

Muumimamma2 · 31/07/2012 08:23

Hi everyone, I've been really busy moving house and then couldn't find the July thread anymore... anyway, it looks like I may be pregnant! I did a really early test last week (one of those First Response ones) and got a faint line, haven't had time to do another one yet to make sure though. Have also been working my but off sorting out our loft with my dad, I'm sure I should be resting more but just seem unable to find the time right now :( But anyway, I'll try and do another test soon and hopefully it's good news!

threeleftfeet · 31/07/2012 08:42

Muumimamma2, wow, congratulations! Grin

(A faint line, is a line, right?!)

threeleftfeet · 31/07/2012 08:45

I planned to test this morning. I'm down on the list as August 5th but the mumsnet due date calculator reckons 3rd August. It's possible I can't count any more I guess?! (I've not double checked either. Hmm, maybe I'll do that now).

Anyway we're away at a festival from Thursday so i planned to test this morning. Got up this morning absolutely bursting for a pee, literally ran to the toilet and then thought damn, I forgot!!

It needs to be the first pee of the day if you're testing early doesn't it?

threeleftfeet · 31/07/2012 08:52

The due date calculator is for baby born due date not AF. So not sure what I used but whatever it was, it was right, it would seem I can't count any more! Having checked again, my BFP date is indeed August 3rd.

So, here's an updated list:

miarosemum · 31/07/2012 09:12

Well poas again this morning, and another faint line, slightly stronger than the previous one night before last! Af due 4th aug, can't quite believe it though and keep imagining af symptoms, can't relax till af date comes and goes, also will have to go buy some tests out here on hol as only brought a couple with me!

threeleftfeet · 31/07/2012 09:19

Wohoo miarosemum! Congratulations! Grin

False positives are very rare. Worth repeating - a faint line is a line!

Muumimamma2 · 31/07/2012 09:22

Thanks Aufaniae, you're right about faint lines being lines too, my previous faint line is celebrating her second birthday in a couple of weeks :)

woody17 · 31/07/2012 09:22

Congratulations miarosemum and Muumimamma2

Aufaniae I think the tests normally advise testing first thing in the morning.

Kick we've been trying since January, although we were very relaxed about it all. However, since the mc, I feel absolutely desperate to get pg.

We DTD last night as well!

Does anyone take any supplements apart from folic acid?

threeleftfeet · 31/07/2012 09:23

I want to POAS now! Is there any point if I've missed the morning? (AF due in 3 days).

miarosemum · 31/07/2012 09:23

Thanks auf, wish I hadn't tested so bloody early though as the waiting till af date to come and go is horrendous, never tested more than 2 days early before!

threeleftfeet · 31/07/2012 09:25

I'm taking fish oil suitable for pregnancy, as I'm a vegetarian (and don't normally eat fish), as well as conception vitamins which include Folic acid. I'm not taking them religiously every day though. Perhaps I should be?

jessiethecowgirl · 31/07/2012 09:26

congrats miarosemum and Muum!! A faint line is line!! Hopefully this is good news for the rest of us! Ih ave added myself to the list. Currently in the 2ww and its a long one, sigh...

miarosemum · 31/07/2012 09:27

Aufaniae, I tested randomly in middle of day 5 days early and got a faint line, maybe wait till tomorrow morning now though just to get a clearer result x

miarosemum · 31/07/2012 09:29

Thanks auf, wish I hadn't tested so bloody early though as the waiting till af date to come and go is horrendous, never tested more than 2 days early before!

miarosemum · 31/07/2012 09:30

Oops!

woody17 · 31/07/2012 09:31

Aufaniae you could test during the day but if you don't get a bfp it might not be accurate!

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 31/07/2012 09:54

Congrats to mia and muumi

On Cd 17 today peeing on the opks and no sign of ov yet. Am becoming convinced it arrived super early this month which means we missed it dtd wise. Pissed off.

Think there was a tiny bit of ewcm on fri / sat (bit more on Sat). We have only dtd on Sat night, so small chance we caught it but the opks didn't show ov.
