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

Hello ladies

Could I join please? Have had a little lurk and you're all so lovely and supportive. I'm ttc dc2. Ds1 is 15mnths. This is our first proper cycle of trying. Af due around 11th. Last time I did all the temping and charting and peed on many sticks. Was hoping to be a bit more relaxed this time round but am already reaching for the thermometer....had almost forgotten how hard it can feel with the waiting. Had early mc before conceived ds1 so think that is at the back of my mind too.

So anyway would love to join if you'll have me! Sending you all lots of luck and Congrats to those with bfps already!

Hi Worried. I know what you mean about the memory of m/c lurking in the background but you know you can carry to term so all should be OK. Like you, my plan was to be more relaxed 2nd time round (DD is 18 months) but the plan seems to have gone haywire!

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 02/08/2012 08:52

worried hi I am in the same boat as you and resipsa (she is my secret twin). Dd is 18 months old. I have been trying to be more relaxed this time round. Started out quite well but I am decidedly stressed right now.

Work isn't helping, we have all had a stupid number of objectives landed on us all. I don't really know what to do, stop ttc and get a different job or keep going for a baby and stick with the shit job.

resipsa · 02/08/2012 09:16

Stick with it if you can only because the prospect of starting somewhere new and finding out you're pregnant within 2 weeks (as I did) is seriously stressful! Felt like a stupid 18 year old (not the haggard 39 year old I was).

tinkfairy · 02/08/2012 09:22

hi im new but have a problem i have regular 27 day cycle but in now late and tests are negative and no sign of af. i have never been late always on time or early but im thinkg when i lost my dc2at 9 months i didnt find out till af was a week late maybe this time it will be the same. im not stressed but have been sad as family friend was killed in hit and run maybe you have seen it on the news. and last night i got told another family friend who was married in to the family died too, but still nothing effects my cycle and info you ladies can give would help thanks.

winkle2 · 02/08/2012 09:29

Welcome worried and tink.

Really sorry to hear what you've been through tink. It could've affected AF I really don't know x

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 02/08/2012 11:13

Oh tink you have been through some horrible things recently. I am normally very regular but I do remember missing one period (years and years ago). Pregnancy was defiantly not on the cards, it was a one off v stressful event that cause the missed period.

You have been through so much it really could be stress.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 02/08/2012 11:25

resipsa I think you are right. Will get my head down and ttc. Was v stressed last night - if stress affects ttc there is no way this is my month - it has been horrendous.

Dexidoo · 02/08/2012 13:29

buggerbollocksshitwank back to CD1 here.

Still in it for a late August BFP

Congratulations to the lucky ones, I'll be off to stock up on wine & chocolate

SunshineOutdoors · 02/08/2012 13:33

Hi worried and tink

Don't really know what to say to help tink.... our bodies can react to a lot of stress. Do you have anyone for real life support? Feel free to off load here, I can't imagine how difficult your loss must be.

Dexi I'm sorry af got you.... but still on for august, it could still be your month. A bit of time out, enjoy some Wine then get back on him it

KickTheGuru · 02/08/2012 17:02

Seriously

Is it wrong that I want to POAS and I"ve not even OVULATED yet? Shock

Lorelei353 · 02/08/2012 17:02

I've just ovulated (yesterday I believe) and can't wait.
Exciting to see some August BFPs already.

KickTheGuru · 02/08/2012 17:05

Keep humping for the next 4 days!

Just because you pick up a smiley face, doesn't mean the egg drops. It can drop up to a week after any kind of detection.

Humpalot

Newbie2 · 02/08/2012 17:25

Kick if you're not temping how are you meant to know when to stop? You can't keep going forever :)

tinkfairy · 02/08/2012 17:30

im honestly fine now but still no sign of af im happy with dd and dp so dont know where af has got to let my self cry last night but im fine off loaded to mil so happy again everyone here has own ttc troubles no need to bother you lot
but i have bee nttc 9months so fingers crossed

jessiethecowgirl · 02/08/2012 17:33

lorelei I fell pregnant the very next month coming off Cerazette! Good luck to you!

KickTheGuru · 02/08/2012 17:37

Newbie

I stop about 10 days before AF is due based on my longest cycle. Based on the fact that 86% of pregnancies result in an MC if LP is too short. So I would rather not even fall pregnant and suffer the agony of an MC due to a too short LP.

I have appointments at the clinic so will chat to them about it anyway. I don't get positive OPKs so I err on the side of "DTD every day for a week and DTD EOD the rest of the time" :)

qazxc · 02/08/2012 17:37

I have a smiley face on my ovulation test this morning. Fingers crossed that tonight is the night.

Jenjen85 · 02/08/2012 19:06

Hi everyone :-)

Lurked around at the start of this threat but haven't been on here for a while. Af is due on 7th but yesterday/today Iv been havin some brown discharge so it's probably the start of Af rearing her ugly head early :-( maybe September will be my month?? Fx for all you lovelies who are still waiting for BFPs and congrats to all those who already have your BFPs :)

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 02/08/2012 19:18

qazxc smiley face!!! Go on girl you know what you need to do.

jenjen I don't want to raise hopes unnecessarily but the brown blood could just be old blood from implantation, it sounds a bit too early to be af.

SunshineOutdoors · 02/08/2012 19:18

jenjen dare I say implantation bleed?
