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

Congrats Jessie! Any tips to pass on?

jessiethecowgirl · 15/08/2012 09:31

tips? hmm... we just DTD EOD all month. Oh and I always "propped" up afterwards :)

weechops · 15/08/2012 09:38

jessie that's brilliant!! Congratulations!!

Ahhhtetley · 15/08/2012 09:53

Congrats Jessie Grin

My spotting stopped yesterday, only saw it on two trips to the loo (sorry tmi) Af is due on Saturday but I'm do tempted to do a test today. But, if I get a bfn i be gutted as this is the last month we said we'd TTY (been 2 years) so I almost want to hold on to the hope Blush

woody17 · 15/08/2012 09:54

Congratulations jessie

Sorry to hear about the pain when - it sounds horrible

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 15/08/2012 12:50

Thanks for all the best wishes. The cramping is still bloody awful, I did cave and poas and can just about see a very faint line. It feels a lot like last months chem preg. I had bad cramps then up until I started af, then felt much better.

I can't believe this is hsppen

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 15/08/2012 12:52

I can't believe this is happening again. I think I am going to give up on ttc for a month I just can't take this anymore.

NicolaHazel · 15/08/2012 13:13

Oh no, When. That is so horrible for you.

I really hoped you'd be successful this month.

onemoreforgoodmeasure · 15/08/2012 13:44

Thanks for the welcome.

Sorry to hear about your worries and pain at the moment When, I hope what you fear isn't true. I know the frustration, I had a mc in March and have only managed one cp since then and the disappointmetn/frustration can be overwheling at times.

Congratulations Jessie!

Fx crossed Nic and Ahhhh!

(what a busy thread - I'm sure I've missed loads, will I ever catch up?)

winkle2 · 15/08/2012 14:04

Thanks Jessie, that's sort of what we've done this month so fingers crossed for me! congrats again!

when ? I hope that faint line turns into a nice dark strong one. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you x

berri · 15/08/2012 14:08

When I'm so sorry you're in pain - I'm sure some paracetamol won't hurt if you have any? I hope you have someone there in rl to have a proper talk to?

berri · 15/08/2012 14:10

Many congratulations Jessie that's really wonderful news Thanks

Fingers crossed for you NicolaHazel and everyone else symptom spotting.

Lorelei353 · 15/08/2012 16:18

Nic It sounds like you've got vertigo. I've had it once or twice and my mum gets it regularly. There are loads of potential reasons for it but I did read that it can be an early pregnancy sign too. It's really disconcerting - I had to walk down my hall holding the wall as I felt I was going to fall over!

This might cheer you up though

woody17 · 15/08/2012 16:31

when I hope you are ok. I hope that the line does get stronger and that the cramping is just everything stretching?

Ahhhtetley fx for you

NicolaHazel · 15/08/2012 17:48

I'm not sure about vertigo...I'll look it up though. I felt better after lunch. I'm exhausted now though. Bone tired. I've struggled at work since about 3.30pm.

I had a hot flush and felt all weird and out of it briefly too.

I. Hate. Hormones!

NicolaHazel · 15/08/2012 17:51

I'll have to research that more...see if it can come and go like mine does.

hollyscots · 15/08/2012 19:21

Well done Jessie and so sorry when. It appears I've messed up my dates and had imaginary ewcm on sat as it has arrived in full force today! Off for a quick bath and then going to drag dh to bed! Bfp due in 14 days...

resipsa · 15/08/2012 19:53

Congrats Jessie. Am well jel as the kids say. I'm out for Aug as from today (and so grateful it arrived just as I was about to do a court hearing!). Hoped it would be our month so could get in the 12 week scan before the due date of the preg we lost in March. Hey ho - pick yourself up, dust off, carry on.

How're you when and Nic?

NicolaHazel · 15/08/2012 20:06

Hi resipsa :-)

I'm OK this evening, so far...everything has calmed down, even my boobs, a bit! Another BFN this evening. I really should wait until the CB digi arrives, but doubt I will.

How are you today?

SunshineOutdoors · 15/08/2012 20:10

Thinking of you when please come and talk on here whenever you want, even if you're feeling negative.

SunshineOutdoors · 15/08/2012 20:11

Sorry you're out resipsa

SunshineOutdoors · 15/08/2012 20:11

And hope you get some answers soon NicolaHazel

NicolaHazel · 15/08/2012 20:19

Ah, god, didn't notice you saying you were out resipsa :-(

At least it happened before Court...that would have been less than helpful. Maybe my Court appearance on Friday will bring my AF on! I detest going to Court, so that would top it off nicely.

SunshineOutdoors · 15/08/2012 20:21

God I'm trying so hard not to symptom spot but it's impossible... I'm feeling very pregnant, just like every other bloody month.

Can't work out my temp chart really. I either oved on day 25, had a few high temps then a dip again(implantation?) on cd32 so am 15dpo OR the little rise on temp was a red herring and the 'implantation' dip was actually ovulation dip so I oved on cd32 and am now 8dpo.

Fertility friend seems confused too - there was one day (cd32) where I'm not 100% sure on how I'd describe my cm - creamy or watery. I think it was watery and ff makes this 8dpo now.. But if I change it to creamy I'm 15dpo. Maybe I'm just wishful thinking I'm 15dpo so I can start testing?? Internet cheapies arrive tomorrow... I wonder how long I'll be able to sit on my hands for?

SunshineOutdoors · 15/08/2012 20:24

Ahem... A medal to anyone who can actually make head nor tail of my last post Blush

In a nutshell... I'm blatantly going to be testing early again Grin why do I do it to myself when I swore I wouldn't after last month.

Does the fact that I'm now cd40 make it more understandable?
