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

Just checking in really, haven't said anything here for a while so thought I would wave July goodbye here and usher August into the thread with some BFPs!

So come on ladies, let's make July look bad!

newbie2 im presuming it's more or less the same method of putting in taking out as Mirena coil. Putting in hurt a little bit (reminded me of a mild contraction, not exactly painful more uncomfortable) but was fine to go to work straight afterwards. Taken out -i didn't actually feel anything felt more during a smear

Just adding my dates in, hope I have done this right, first time trying to cut and paste on phone! V confusing!

Also, yay august! I know I have ages to wait, but is exciting just to be in the right month :)

AF has arrived so that's me out already, but at least I have a starting point now. Will move myself to the end of the list - could still end up being an August BFP!

And we're off....fingers crossed for us all!

Oops should have said in post earlier: BFP due 27th Aug, first cycle. It seems soooo long away but it'll be great to see how everyone else gets on - everything crossed for us all!

Newbie2 · 01/08/2012 06:33

Hello August!!!! Goodbye Smelly July!!!

OP posts:
Dexidoo · 01/08/2012 06:42

Hello August, hope it brings us bountiful BFPs!!

I am not testing tomorrow- postponing until the 4th unless AF gets me. Will change the list later. My spotting that wasn't even heavy enough to be spotting has gone away, just hoping there could be a bean busy implanting!

limey are you still testing today? Good luck x

threeleftfeet · 01/08/2012 08:17

Tried again with FMU and definite line! Very faint still, but stronger than yesterday and definitely blue!

I could see it clearly at 3+ minutes. I showed DP at about 15 minutes, but it had faded so very faint indeed now (is this normal?). i can still see it but he's not convinced - mind you he looked at it in a dark room, without his glasses and he's got a migraine.

I can still see it there, but he is waiting to get excited till I test again tomorrow, which is a little frustrating to say the least!

winkle2 · 01/08/2012 08:46

Congratulations auf!

Welcome August please be my month!

threeleftfeet · 01/08/2012 08:49

Thanks! Fingers crossed for you too winkle :)

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 01/08/2012 09:20

Auf it is all sounding good. Congratulations.

Brand new month ready for a fresh set of BFPs.

SunshineOutdoors · 01/08/2012 09:32

Wow auf your name must have bought you luck! Congratulations!

threeleftfeet · 01/08/2012 10:08

Thanks WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid and SunshineOutdoors :)

SunshineOutdoors that crossed my mind too Grin

Seriously though, doing the sticks really helped I think. After 5 cycles I was starting to get worried that there was something wrong. But with the sticks it meant we definitely got the right time, knowing when tonight was actually the night was very helpful! Think we were perhaps a bit too relaxed about it before.

I really want to tell DS! But I guess it's not fair until we get through the early bit, is it?

Wishing all of you lots of luck and BFPs this month!

Sheep2345 · 01/08/2012 10:13

newbie2 having the coil taken out is a brezze, over in minutes Smile
Having it put in was not terrbile but not the nicest experience. I seem to be a bit crooked internally as the doctor kindly commented three times that she couldn't find my cervix!
I would recoomend it though as its 5 years of not thinking about taking a pill or worrying a condom has split! The only thing it, it may make AF slightly heavier which is not good if you are already heavy!

Newbie2 · 01/08/2012 11:19

Sheep thanks for that. Helpful to know! Do you still ovulate on the coil then?

OP posts:
threeleftfeet · 01/08/2012 11:22

My friend just gave me an early response test. Nothing faint about that line! Definitely BFP! Grin

Really happy now, DP too :)

Newbie2 · 01/08/2012 11:25

Yay congratulations Auf Great way to start August!

Is anybody else sick of seeing mums with babies on the rolling ads on this page...talk about rubbing it in our faces Angry

OP posts:
IBelieveInPink · 01/08/2012 13:54

Congrats Auf how exciting!

I'm so tempted to try the sticks now, although we had said we would just go with a relaxed approach for the first few months. I can see my lack of patience is going to be no good for this game!

NicolaHazel · 01/08/2012 14:02

Congrats Auf! :-)

berri · 01/08/2012 14:19

Congratulations Auf, so exciting!

I have ZERO patience for this too, I don't even OV for another 5 or 6 days and I can't stop wondering what will happen, how on earth can you 'just not think about it', which is the advice everyone gives for success!

By the way, do you tend to dtd eod even when ov? Or every day over then?

SunshineOutdoors · 01/08/2012 14:27

Any news from dexi or anyone else early on the list?

Dexidoo · 01/08/2012 15:33

sunshine I'm pushing my testing day back until Saturday- hoping that spotting is not the start of AF but the sign of something more hopeful but we will see ..
