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

qazxc!! That's a funny story!

Managed to DTD last night but taking today off and will try again tomorrow.

Hello, newbie here! Just discovered this place after a Google search and already experiencing the highs and lows on this thread. I'm on my 4th cycle TTC, using CBFM for the first time this cycle and got my first peak reading this morning. My cycles have been a bit irregular since coming off the pill after 20 years (I'm almost 36) but I'll assume AF is due on 20th.

It's hard not to get a bit obsessed isn't it? I was utterly convinced I was pregnant last month, spotting every symptom you could imagine. I was genuinely surprised when AF arrived.

Symptom spotting and trying to reel it in!
I definitely have sore boobs but then I got that last month about 10 days before AF (wasn't TTC yet then) so it might just be normal cycle stuff.

Got a while to wait yet...

weechops sept is our month... that means a may baby... the perfect time of year for a newborn. enjoy the new toy. i have already worked out the itinerary for DTD in hols in brittany...tee hee

How are you feeling WhenSheWasBad? Fx that it's not just a bug!

Lol qazxc!

perpetual thanks for asking. I am feel

Feeling (stupid iPhone) the same but with a headache too. So think I am just a bit run down / have a bug. Doesn't mean this isn't my month just that this isn't the start of any symptoms.

quzac hee hee. You are even more crazy than me

Evening ladies! Does anyone experience burning boobs before AF arrives? I haven't had AF for many years so I don't know the difference between PMS and preggie symptoms. I'm 7DPO today and have achey burning boobs

Not sure about symptoms... I can't remember having any except late af until after I had a bfp last time.

Well I'm confused after temping.. they seem to be up and down a bit.. I can't really see a peak tbh but fertility friend reckons I'm 6dpo and a different app I use reckons I'm 2dpo. I'm worried I haven't ov-ed at all

Well, only time will tell I guess. I feel so different to last month... I'm not even that excited that testing time will be approaching soon.

Is anyone due to test in the next few days, it seems a while since a bfp.

Sorry and to all of you who are out for start of Aug

Trying to give up the symptom spotting - sounded very rational about it on my last post but actually it's because I too have got myself so convinced I'm pregnant too many times this year and taken too many tests only to be met with a bfn.

Hi ladies - thanx for the welcome

Am feeling so so tired - which I hope is due to upcoming BFP - not ye olde age. Lovely DH has let me have a long sleep this evening - have just woken to 3 lovely clean, hair all washed DD. Bliss.

I have always found I never conceive when BF (have BF for 7 years altogether). I rarely have AF when feeding - and between this and the mirena I think I have had about 6 AF in the past 16 years . I wouldn't rely on BF as contraception, though I do think your fertility is seriously reduced!

Love all the symptom spotting - believe its never to early - my first I started vomiting 7 days post DTD and carried on every morning for 7 months. Often sore boobs or a change in smell (DD2 refused to eat Chinese takeaway as I swear I could smell the person who cooked the rice was a smoker) is my first symptom - but it's being different each time....

Dread to think how much I have spent over the years on tests!,

3little I agree with the sense of smell thing being the first symptom. It is really odd having such a strong sense of smell.

newbie not sure about burning boobs. Mine are feeling v tingly at the moment 4dpo. Someone said aching boobs are caused by an increase in progesterone after you ovulate. It could still be a preg symptom though fx

Thanks WhenShe I don't feel at all pregnant though so i'm nearly positive it will be a BFN this weekend :(

Don't right it off just yet. Most women don't feel pregnant at 8dpo. I didn't feel pregnant with dd till a few days after BFP and that was a change in sense of smell. The other typical symptoms took another week to kick in.

Thanks WhenShe but I feel I need to prepare myself mentally as its going to be a big full into the pit this month

I know what you mean Newbie I'm thinking negatively so a bfp will be a big surprise rather than a bfn being a big letdown.

Cd32 here... This time last cycle I was getting stupidly excited and starting to test. I'm not even sure if I've ovulated this time.

Hate hate hate having such long cycles.... It will be nearly two weeks before I test. It just feels like with a 6 week plus cycle I get less chances to get pg. If I miss this one I think my next chance will prob be October

Sorry I'm feeling very negative at the moment. Got a bit of the 'it's never going to happen' mentality.

I'm sure I'll cheer up soon a bfp would cheer me up very nicely thank you very much

Can anyone help? Ff reckons I oved 7 days ago but my temp has dipped since then. Cm is definitely clearer than it was yesterday. Does that mean I might not have oved yet and it's coming up in next few days?

If so I'm ready to do what I need to do

3littlewoman tiredness was my first symptom - before I even knew I was pg so fx for you!

I wish I could manage not to get my hopes up so much but I find it impossible.

Hi, I think I'm back.

I've been told i'm good to go by my gynae, suspected polyp is not a polyp pain is just my endometriosis, and that pregnancy will help that, also okay to take my pain killers and instructions to go back on period stopping contraception after successful pg told "you can get pg any day during your cycle so dtd 2-3 times a week." take that at eod

Now just have to hope my fasting blood tests that I have on Thursday come back okay.

But feeling more positive today, and hopefully our of COD for this cycle.

Glad you are feeling more +ve frustratedpants

hi all.

Late comer to this thread, hope it's OK to join the list?! I need some answers too!! Am a first timer! I stopped taking Cerazette on July 22nd 2012 to TTC. I'd been on combined pill for 12 years then got put on Cerazette in Jan 2012 cause of high blood pressure (so only been 6 months but not had proper period that whole time). Anyway, since coming off, have not had AF yet but... (TMI alert) ...day 6, started getting lots of CM which was 'slimey' on days 7-9 (did the deed on day 7) and was really randy day 10 :) haven't felt like that for MANY years but Fiance was ill on the sofa so
:(. I have had swollen boobs for the last week or so, itchy right nipple last couiple of days and weirdly had sensitive teeth. Can someone tell me if these symptoms are from coming off Cerazette or could I be ultra lucky and PG first cycle??!! I don;t know much about TTC so would appreciate any help as am 33 and soooo ready for BFP.

Thanks all. BTW Bold:JessieThe CowGirl would love to hear from you as same situation (hopefully).

Hi 33 the slimy cm sounds like extra wet cm (ewcm), you normally get this around ovulation. I also get very randy around ovulation do it all looks like a good sign your body is back to normal.

How many days has it been since the randy day?

Hi WhenShe, that was last wednesday night (Aug 1st). We have done the deed on July 28th and again Aug 4th (weekend on bonking at the mo, need toget out of that habit I reckon if not lucky this time). I am also rather hungry all the time...? Dread taking my bra off at night as the 'drop' is quite painful! . When do you think I am likely to axpect AF or BFP?

excuse spelling and grammar, typing blind as at work and minimised screen in case someone sneaks up behind me.
