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

Is this where you all are....

RIBS that sounds horrible! Its as if dealing with a mc is not enough that you have had to go through the horror of all that.

winkle hope you get some answers soon mate! I hope those bloody doctors pull their act together and get the tests done for you.

ribs that sounds dreadful - I'm so sorry you had to go through all that

winkle do you have any idea when you're ovulating?

Quick question- does anyone else get light headed/dizzy spells at time of O? Had a +ive OPK yesterday and today, and the past couple of days i keep randomly going light headed.
Anyone else? Or does anyone know what causes it?

Zeux I have no idea when I OV! Will just have to keep dtd every 2-3 days as long as I can!

frustrated if I stand up too quickly I do. I'm due to ovulate on Sunday and I'm currently experiencing cramping. I don't feel it's normal even though I've read that you can experience it. My boobs are a bit sensitive too.

Anyone missing?

Hi everyone - i would love to get a bfp in August. I think this might be wishful thinking as I've just had a mc. This will be dc1. I have no idea when a possible bfp could happen in August, if indeed it could. But I have read that some people fall pg again before af arrives so hoping that might happen for me.

Rule number one when trying for a baby - NEVER tell anyone you're trying for a baby!!

Went out last night with some girlie mates, mentioned my missed period to them (nearly wrote pissed period then!!) to see if it had ever happened to them and one of then started going on about relaxing and maybe I was stressed. I said I'm fine, I'm treating it like it came and went and starting again. Then she started saying but you might be stressed and not know about it so stop thinking about having a baby. I said how am I supposed to do that?! I repeated about 100 times that I wasn't stressed and i was fine but she kept going in and on saying you are stressed I can tell! I said I'm getting stressed at YOU not the baby thing!

Aarrrggghhhhh!

winkle I was wondering what was going to happen to you after the dramatic ending to the thread :) Sounds really rubbish! Has this friend fallen pregnant herself? I'm finding my friends so selfish with their words now we're all reaching or reached 30 especially the preggie ones or ones with babies All I can say is nobody knows what TTC feels like unless they've experienced it!

Can you add me in? I can't seem to do iron my phone.

MightBeMad - cycle 1 - BFP due 15 August

So that was a surprise! Got a +ve on the stick last night. It's only day 11 of my cycle. I have fairly short cycles (25 days typically), but I wasn't expecting it yet.

Actually the maths does add up. 11+14 =25. Doh!
(You're meant to ovulate 14 days before the beginning of your next cycle IIRC)

Although I thought the tests don't actually go +ve on ovulation though do they? It's the couple of days before, isn't it?

DTD anyway, so fingers crossed :)

"Rule number one when trying for a baby - NEVER tell anyone you're trying for a baby!!"

Tricky though, isn't it? People keep asking me if we're going to have another.

I usually answer "well yes we'd like to but we'll see" which i hope hints that maybe we're trying without being too specific and that usually seems to be enough for them.

My best friends know we're trying, and they're good about it, they don't hassle me, but they do mention it from time to time - like if we talk about plans for next year they say "remember there might be a baby here"!

None of them try to give me well-meaning "advice" thankfully, that would drive me nuts!

winkle2 was she slightly merry? I remember my friends being so repetitive when I hung out with them when they were drinking, and I was pregnant. (Of course I was never like that when I used to drink lots before, oh no! )

continuing from the July thread......

my thoughts exactly winkle Arrrghhh! why do these women insist we are stressed or making sure we "enjoy" having sex. It's none of their effing business. I'm just so pissed with my friend and SIL too. I wish that rule was highlighted earlier on! I wish I had not told them we were trying :( They are supposed to listen not analyse. Why can't people just be good listeners these days, I didn't ask for their opinion or advice

I've added another July thread and answerd you there winkle, just for red and anyone left

I am just still pissed off that my SIL who has been ttc for over a year, gone through treatments and drugs, now doesnt seem to stop bragging about her pregnancy and then turns around and is asking me to make sure my sex life isn't regimented (yes thats the word she used!!!) and telling me to enjoy sex. WTF! I didnt ask for her advice even once. I just feel irritated and angry with her that shes presumed my sex life is regimented or I'm not enjoying it! What a cow! Sorry but I am so pissed off about it.

And the worst part is that she went through the same ttc emotions and would tell me how she hated people telling her to relax and enjoy sex. So for her to suddenly be so patronizing and insensitive just because shes now pregnant is making me so mad. Rant over.

Red- could you not point out to her that while you realise she is trying to help/ reassure ( best words to say instead of f**k off) that you know she's been in a similar position and can she remember how anoying it got with well wishers and their relax comments?

can you add me, ttc cyle 12, af due 4 aug, on cd16. 30 day cycles normal

Perhaps she has issues imagining her DBro actually having wild passionate sex. If she brings it up again, how about you say "i can assure you that's not the case. Do you really want to know what your DBro and I get up to in bed"?!

can i just add even though on cycle 12 approximately, not really been 'actively' trying or timing ov, so thought best maybe start charting a little give us a better idea or when to dtd through out the month

hi miarosemum :) this is my first month of charting (after trying-but-not-very-hard for a while) too.

lol I will try that tact aufaniae and kitty next time they try to offer their unwanted advice.

Ok I've added...

Just thought I would change my af due date. Probably won't ovulate till 1st Aug anyway but I am going to try really hard not to test early this month.

Just taken all my ttc vits and supplements.

pregnancy vits - so I have lots of folic acid & vit D
omega 3. - help brain development if I do get preg
agnus castus - might help regulate my hormones
Epo - for lots and lots of ewcm
1/4 aspirin - to improve blood flow to uterus (hoping it helps

implantation)

Right that's the vits sorted, have also managed to stear clear of chocolate and sweets for 6 days. A complete record for me, just goes to show how much I want to get pregnant.
