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

OP posts:

Newbie you do still ovulate and have a normal bleed - it's non-hormonal so does not affect cycles and fertility resumes on removal.

Oh and congrats auf our 1st BFP of the month - lets hope it continues Grin

Chimpette · 01/08/2012 16:29

Congrats Auf, that's wonderful news!

Having been all upset yesterday because I though we'd missed out on DTD at OV, I've now got EWCM and a positive OPK today. Poor DH hasn't had a day off work in weeks and is knackered though; might not be a recipe for success tonight Hmm

Anyway, I'm feeling optimistic and am adding myself to the list.

Fingers crossed for some lovely August BFPs!

Yay for Auf Grin

miarosemum · 01/08/2012 16:39

Well poas again today using fmu and another line (stronger than yesterday) but still not due af for another 3 days and convinced af will arrive, can't stop thinking negative, please send positive vibes my way! Too good to be true, we did use opk sticks this time and dtd every other day more than any other month so fx

resipsa · 01/08/2012 16:55

Auf congrats on the first of the month. Great start. Lucky, lucky you!

Chimp test buds again!

winkle2 · 01/08/2012 18:01

Congrats auf on positive test!

threeleftfeet · 01/08/2012 18:10

Thanks everyone Grin
It's just starting to sink in a bit!
Sending lucky BFP vibes to all of you :)

We've been trying for ages, the only thing that's really changed this month is the sticks, and this thread of course!

IBelieveInPink

berri we were DTD approximately EOD in the week before I thought I would OV, although (i can't remember exactly sorry) it might have turnd out to be been 3 nights in a row before OV. I had an idea when I thought I was going to OV - although the sticks showed me it was actually it was earlier then I expected. We then DTD every day for 5 days (bar one when life got in the way) after getting positive OV from POAS. Then we calmed down a bit!

That's definitely the most, at the right time of the month that we've managed since starting TTC. But that was party down to the sticks. The nearly every day in the run up to OV was just a (nice) blip, rather than something planned. I think if I hadn't been POASing we might not have continued the effort over the next few days, but knowing that it was the right time made a big difference.

IBelieveInPink I didn't find POASing as stressful at all (although I thought it might be) but then again I actually only POASed twice! Got an OV +ver earlier than I expected, and it probably helped as we might not have bothered those days.

threeleftfeet · 01/08/2012 18:11

Oops I meant +ve, don't know what +ver is!!

threeleftfeet · 01/08/2012 18:12

Oops also IBelieveInPink your name appears randomly half way through the post, sorry, not sure what happened there! Confused

miarosemum · 01/08/2012 18:52

Congrats auf, fab news! This was the first month we used opk sticks too and dtd over 7 day window, more effort than we normally put it I must admit Blush

IBelieveInPink · 01/08/2012 20:15

Right, that's decided then. DH can have his way this cycle and we will just try and 'let the magic happen' (ahem) but next cycle,.... I'm getting me some sticks! Grin

DulcetMoans · 01/08/2012 21:55

Yay! First BFP and only 1st Aug. Congrats auf

limesoakedmadeleine · 01/08/2012 22:32

Sorry it's so late, I've only just had a chance to update. Congratulations Aufaniae, I can see that August is going to be a very lucky month since I'm quite definitely pregnant too! So say several different brands of pregnancy test, an uncharacteristic inability to sleep and an equally unusual distaste for food. Think it's mainly excitement rather than hormones. Could still murder a glass of wine though...

Good grief, I can't quite believe it. I know how very very lucky we are to get a BFP so soon - due to an illness DH had a couple of years ago we'd been told by the docs we were reasonably likely to have difficulties, so we're both a bit shell-shocked. He's alternating between hinting about fleeing the country and playing the ukulele to the embryo. Apparently I'm not allowed to mumsnet in bed with the computer on my tummy.

Wishing you all tons and tons of luck for the month ahead. A BFP for everybody! [salutes]

threeleftfeet · 01/08/2012 22:42

Congratulations limesoakedmadeleine! Grin Grin

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 01/08/2012 22:43

limesoaked congratulations

It is do good to see all the BFPs rolling in.

SunshineOutdoors · 01/08/2012 22:45

Hooray! Congratulations *lineaments

SunshineOutdoors · 01/08/2012 22:46

Pressed send too soon! That was meant to say congratulations limesoaked

And miarosesmum too!

threeleftfeet · 01/08/2012 22:48

limesoakedmadeleine is this your first?

DulcetMoans · 01/08/2012 22:52

Another one! Gives me hope! Congrats. lime!!

limesoakedmadeleine · 01/08/2012 22:59

Thanks so much everyone. Grinning much now!

And yes, congratulations to miarosesmum!

Yes Auf, first baby, first cycle. We only decided to go for it at the beginning of June, so I thought I'd at least have a few months to get used to the idea. Someone is smiling on us - and chuckling now as we run around like headless chickens... I practically had kittens when the word 'pregnant' appeared.

threeleftfeet · 01/08/2012 23:05

Congratulations miarosesmum too! Grin Grin

This is officially a lucky thread!

winkle2 · 01/08/2012 23:23

Well done lime!

We dtd on Monday do we should've dtd tonight but we have a friend staying over so we're going to have to dtd tomorrow instead and then eod from then. That's still every 2-3 days. So fingers crossed!

NicolaHazel · 01/08/2012 23:25

Congrats...3 BFPs and only 1st August.

Fx it continues!

resipsa · 02/08/2012 07:27

Lime Miaroses (love those names, btw) - congrats! Beginning to think there's something in the theory that the early testers get all the luck; must try to adjust cycle accordingly Grin.

resipsa · 02/08/2012 07:28

PS Lime 1st cycle? Soooo Envy!
