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

newbie I really hope that you get some answers on Friday.

Ive used the mums net ovulation calculator before although I have no idea what some of the things mean!

goingbananas30 · 08/08/2012 10:41

I hope the GP finds a solution for you. i will be saying a prayer for you.

Thanks for helping i'd go check fertilityfriend.com

Woody , did it work? i mean the mumsnet ov calc

woody17 · 08/08/2012 10:42

I'm pretty sure that it was accurate the month I did get pg. I haven't been able to use it since as I'm on the wtf cycle after a mc so have no idea about af dates etc!

Newbie2 · 08/08/2012 10:45

Thanks ladies Thanks

I was reading something about staying away from some particular foods..... pasta, noodles etc, how true is this? Also, can ones weight affect conception? i weigh 47kg
.
Been eating bananas like crazy...lol! read it helps...

qazxc · 08/08/2012 14:32

33 Those sound like like hopeful signs to me, Good luck.
weechops don't discourage too soon, it's not over till AF arrives.
Have another 10 days before i can test. Don't know if i have symptoms or are imagining things as i want it so badly. I have a 40 day cycle so if this month isn't the month, I'll have to wait til October. That's when my baby would have been due so I think I would find it quite hard.

qazxc · 08/08/2012 14:38

going bananas being overweight or under weight can affect conception, but if only the women who were a perfect BMI got pregnant the human race would die out. I haven't heard that you need to stay away from pasta, just that, as with rice and bread, you should switch to brown (wholegrain) instead of white as it healthier. Don't know if bananas help girls (they help sperm alright) but they do say to eat plenty of fruit and veg.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 08/08/2012 18:36

newbie best of luck at the GPs on Friday.

goingbananas I have a 31 day cycle and tend to ovulate on cd17. It could be different for you though. Best if luck.

I really hope I am pregnant this month, cause I've got all the symptoms, tired (no make that exhausted), hungry all the time and I think my sense of smell is stronger. This is probably all in my head as I am only 6dpo and it is far too soon for any symptoms.

woody17 · 08/08/2012 18:44

whenshewasbadshewashorrid I definitely got some symptoms at least that early. Fx for you.

SunshineOutdoors · 08/08/2012 18:55

whenshewas I really hope you're pregnant too Smile

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 08/08/2012 19:06

Thanks woody & sunshine I think it is just a mix of wishful thinking and a bit of a bug. Or a phantom pregnancy.

weechops · 08/08/2012 19:29

cd30 has now turned into cd1 - she got me :(

I must have missed ov this month by a couple of days. I couldnt have dtd then anyway as dh was working away then.

Ah well onwards and upwards. I can play with my new toy when it arrives over the weekend and start poas cd6. Just to feed my obsession lol!

Off to change the list

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 08/08/2012 19:33

Sorry weechops you sound quite upbeat though. What's the new toy? It sounds good if you get to poas from cd6 onwards.

NicolaHazel · 08/08/2012 19:54

Ooh, weechops, you share a birthday with my niece :-) Fx it is lucky for you.

And When, my sense of smell has seriously got better a) since I came off hormonal bc and b) in the last week or so.

11 DPO today and I am having weird pains. Last night it was shooting / stabbing pain across my uterus twice, enough to make me double over. And now today I have a stitch-type pain on the right hand side of my uterus. Odd.

Sure my body is playing tricks on me though.

winkle2 · 08/08/2012 20:03

Argh sorry she got you weechops

Thats sounding very promising whenshewasbad

Cd18 today and night off dtd!

IBelieveInPink · 08/08/2012 20:51

Fx whenshewas I hope you get the good news you have been waiting for!

To those who have already had pregnancies, How early do the first symptoms tend to show up? I know it must be different for everyone, but just curious how quickly things can happen?

weechops · 08/08/2012 21:38

WhenSheWas i ordered the clearblue opk off amazon. Prob not supposed to use it from cd6 but hey, it'll keep me entertained til ov :) Fx you are pg this month.

woody17 · 08/08/2012 21:53

Sorry that af arrived weechops I am considering going with the clear blue thing if I don't get pg soon.

babyjames · 08/08/2012 21:56

Wowsers I just noticed the top 3 people on the list got BFP! Thats great news congratulations :)
I am due on the 10th but not feeling hopeful as had a bit of a bleed last Friday after my Zumba session and not feeling at all pregnant. I haven't even bothered to buy a test yet this month! May get one 2mor and test Friday as planned if AF does not arrive before that. I seem to remember it took a week after AF was due to get BFP last time and no symptoms really till after that.

woody17 · 08/08/2012 22:17

I've updated my estimated BFP date - this is a guess due to my wtf cycle!

worriedmum100 · 09/08/2012 09:04

I gave up my seat on the train for a pregnant lady this morning. Hoping for good karma!

33andTTC · 09/08/2012 12:01

I can officially join the list now I've had first AF (started yesterday) after stopping Cerazette a couple of weeks ago. I'm assuming 28 day cycle but who knows. Bit sad symptoms were AF ones not BFP ones (bit of wishful thinking there!) but nice to know my body is doing normal things again down there! Sep BFP hopefully... fx
