Hi Rum, you shouldn't feel silly at all :). You just never know! D you mind if I ask how long you've been trying for?

rumisyum · 11/08/2013 11:10

Hi Gingerandcocoa (which sounds delicious btw). We've been trying for just about 3 years now! (That is a LOT of shagging.) I've had a couple BFPs/chemical pregnancies/early MCs in that time, but not even one of those for over 2 years now. And yet, this month I'm feeling hopeful. I blame the 5 days (!!!!) of EWCM. (Haven't seen that kind of thing since I was a horny teenager.) How long have you been TTC?

Anyway, hope it's gloriously sunny where you are too. I've got a busy day of basking in the sunshine planned. Smile

supercalafraga · 11/08/2013 11:23

good luck rum! Really hoping this is your month!

Gingerandcocoa · 11/08/2013 12:02

Rum that sounds quite positive! Really hope this is your month!

I feel a bit guilty as in comparison we've just started trying, really, this was our 2nd cycle, AF due tomorrow but BFN today so I think it didn't happen this month. I always thought I'd fall pregnant immediately (why wouldn't I?), had no idea you could only get pregnant on a specific day of your cycle, that chances are 25% per cycle etc!!!

Writerwannabe83 · 11/08/2013 12:18

Ginger, I tested with FMU the morning before my period was due and got a BFN so I thought the same as you. However, I took another test about 8 hours later and definite BFP!! Until AF arrives there is always hope!! Grin

And good luck with all your DTD Gilly, I really hope this is your month x

ImaginaryHat · 11/08/2013 12:21

Welcome rum, really do hope that you have a positive outcome this month, the EWCM does sound promising! Good luck!

ginger I was the same before we started ttc, no idea that the window for conceiving was so short. You spend your youth being told you will get pregnant if you so much as look at a boy the wrong way! Damn lies!

coco808 · 11/08/2013 14:37

Fingers crossed for you Rum! Hope this is the month for you :)

I'm in the dreaded 2ww. Not sure when I ovulated. Had ewcm one day and then again almost a week later (both lasting just 1 day). Did anyone else experience anything like it?

Gingerandcocoa · 11/08/2013 15:06

Writer, that gives me a glimmer of hope :) Anyway, now I've run out of tests so will just wait and see if AF comes over the next couple of days. I'm tired of all this waiting!!!

Imaginary, that's so true, I was once convinced I was pregnant, even though I was still a virgin..........

Hendricks · 11/08/2013 15:31

Good luck gilly, rum and everyone else.

Think I may be on my way out - cramps and some serious spotting today after the BFN yesterday morning. However, it ain't over til it's over so I'll stay on for another few days until I either hit CD1 or a BFP.

rumisyum · 11/08/2013 15:41

Thanks for the good luck wishes and the warm welcome, ladies. Smile

Fingers crossed for you, Hendricks.

Sorry, coco808, I've never experienced anything like that.

Ginger, but what about dirty toilet seats?! Grin You shouldn't feel guilty at all, it would be wonderful if everyone who wanted a baby could just get knocked up first try! It would save a lot of anxiety and heartbreak. And honestly, I still don't see why I haven't just gotten preggers straight away, it makes no sense to me. Part of me is still convinced I'm uber-fertile. deluded

Nulanoo · 11/08/2013 15:49

Hi

I'm new to mums net I'm not sure i understand all the abbreviations but I stoppedy pill July 20th and I'd love to be pregnant already! I've been having a brown/ red mucus for a few days which has sent me off in a panic as I've never had anything like this before, everything I read tells me something different though x

VJONES1985 · 11/08/2013 15:57

Have you got your last breakthrough bleed yet? I'm guessing so, as July 20th is a while ago.

Nulanoo · 11/08/2013 16:01

Yes that was a week after I'd stopped the pill. Sorry I'm not very good with this we are trying for our first baby :)

rockyroller123 · 11/08/2013 16:12

Hi,

Thought I would join in as I have been lurking all month.

Not sure ive got all the abbreviations yet, but im ttc #1 started this month. AF is due on the 26th so ages to wait.

Trying not to get to obsessed and just making sure me and the hubby are at it every other day or more if we feel like it.

Good luck to everyone out there and hopefully there will be more bfps before August is finished. Grin

VJONES1985 · 11/08/2013 16:20

Nunaloo - I'm sure it's just a symptom of pill withdrawal.

Good luck nunaloo and rockyroller.

Nulanoo · 11/08/2013 16:30

When we talked about it we said lets just stop the pill and see what happens now its the main thing on my mind!!!

ImaginaryHat · 11/08/2013 16:37

Haha ginger that really made me laugh!

GinandStripes · 11/08/2013 17:40

Had an irrational drunken fallen out with the boyfriend last night, which I reckon means AF is on her merry way.

Actually feeling quite positive about it. Our uncreated child has obviously decided that it doesn't want a late April/early May birthday!

Also means I can drink wine, eat brie & rare steak on my birthday, if I so wish Smile and there's lots more dtd to do Wink

supercalafraga · 11/08/2013 17:42

enjoy that brie and wine combo gin! my favourite combo - with sushi to follow of course Grin

ThreeFromDesire · 11/08/2013 18:32

Rocky, rum and nula- hello Smile

I'm on day four of opking and had three days of flashy smileys Hmm I'm only cd8 today but taking no chances and planning on cutting sex down to every other day to increase possibility of pregnancy.

I know this sounds odd given how much extra effort I'm making this month compared to previous but I'm not feeling it this cycle at all Sad anyone else ever feel a little despondent?

gillywillywoo · 11/08/2013 20:18

So got my positive digi OPK this morning and managed to dtd this morning AND this evening! DH is feeling very pleased with himself and I am very pleased with him also lol GrinGrin

Roll on tomorrow night! Grin

Hendricks · 11/08/2013 20:19

Looks like, Dragons Den style, "I'm out". Spotting has now turned into a proper period so I guess this is were I change buses and hop onto the September one.

For all the right reasons I hope I don't see any of you on September's bus. Good luck everyone ! Thanks

Hendricks · 11/08/2013 20:20

Good work gilly - hope this is your month.

snoozysleeper · 11/08/2013 20:36

Hi all Smile

threefromdesire I understand the feeling despondent thing

Good work gilly

And sad to hear you're off the bus hendricks but better look gor the September bus

I've been feeling nauseated only in the evenings for past 2 nights and just starting again....but bfp due approx 18th so surely too early for symptoms! I think I'm symptom spotting Blush oh well

Gingerandcocoa · 11/08/2013 20:42
