okay I hope I'm not treading on anyone's toes but as the proud owner of a July AF I'm posting early. Any seconders for a BFP filled August are very welcome.

Is my bday in August so fingers crossed. And by my calculations my ov this month should tie in with dh's 30th birthday.

so paws crossed

lol now that would be telling becky..

I know what you mean about symptoms being so much like pre-af that is what makes me feel less optamistic(sp) (and I was curtain I would be positive about this).

Don't worry about the lack of 'stuff' it is all about quality. Remember it only takes one sperm to fertilise an egg.

Bellie · 25/07/2006 12:20

wow - another bfp - congratulations wright!
Good luck and crossing fingers to all those that are playing the waiting game!
Will ply dh with painkillers tonight and he will just have to grin and bear it wont he !!

MrsMcJnr · 25/07/2006 12:41

Thanks for the dust bubblez and hope you feel better soon after the fall. I really have not got a clue what CD I am on, here is a brief summary, can you or anyone else help me work it out?

Took last pill just over 5 weeks ago on 16/6, Pill AF finished 1 week later 23/6. 23 days later got AF 16/7. AF ended 5 days later on Thurs 20/7 but was very light therefore a real one? that was 6 days ago.

All seems like TMI sorry!

bubblez · 25/07/2006 12:52

If I was you Mrsmcjnr I would count from the 1st day of you last bleed (be it 'real' or not) which would make you cd9.

The reason I say this is because when I first stopped the pill (b4 dd) I had a bleed and didnt think that it meant anything (not a real bleed) but it turned out to be the first day of my new cycle and I fell pregnant that month.

MrsMcJnr · 25/07/2006 13:28

Thanks Bubblez, that really helps. I will do that, CD9 I am then!

MrsMcJnr · 25/07/2006 13:37

Sorry to hijack this thread, if I am on CD9 does that mean that I should ovulate this weekend (CD14) and therefore should be TTC alot at the end of the week? Can anyone recommend anything to test to see if you have ovulated?

mrs mc j

i still think that the ewcm - stretchy clear cm is best sign..

OP posts:
bubblez · 25/07/2006 13:44

yep I agree with becky EWCM is def the best way to tell when you have oved. BD on what you think is cd14 anyway as you never know. But make sure that you bd on the day you get your EWCM.

Oh and judging by this and last months thread it's doggy, flip and hold legs in the air.

MrsMcJnr · 25/07/2006 13:48

Thanks so much, better buy some grapefruit juice! I am sure DH will not object to the position but might get a bit freaked by the legs in the air!!!

bobblehead · 25/07/2006 14:20

Oh! I've missed so much already!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS NICKI & WRIGHTY!!!!

Nicki mine was faint and wishy washy until yesterday then got noticably darker!

When are you both due?

wannaBe1974 · 25/07/2006 15:28

hiya all

well it looks as if we're finally going to get confirmed what dh has been thinking - he's just called for his sperm test results and gp won't discuss it over the phone - he has to make an appointment. Our surgery only ever say that when there's a problem - i.e. if it was normal they would give him the result over the phone, so as they're not prepared to even give him the result we can only assume that dh has problem with sperm count, so looks like ttc dream is finally over for me. Will have definite confirmation when dh sees gp next monday.

Beccy1974 · 25/07/2006 15:34

Natty1806 · 25/07/2006 15:51

Don't give up wannabe, becki is right hopecat's DP didn't have any and she is now pregnant. They can work wonders nowadays, how's your DP?

buffythenappyslayer · 25/07/2006 15:55

hi everyone,hope you dont mind me barging in like this!!
bobblehead said to join this thread,so thats why im here!!
been ttc for what seems like forever!(had mc in april,was ttc for 3 months before that and ever since)
am really hoping for bfp soon,and af is late,but am worried about doing anotehr test (did 3 2 weeks ago,all were neg,but still no af so might have been too early!)

trace2 · 25/07/2006 16:17

wannbe, they did this with dh, and our gp does the same only tell when clear, but when he went they said they carnt tell you this over phone even when clear, as my dh was called great sperm, so please dont worry yet, until you have to also they usally call you back because like us( some months dont ovulate) they can have a bad lot of sperm!, so keep bding you never know, also my friend got pg her dh had a low sperm count she also had problems now got a loverly little 6 month boy.

buffythenappyslayer welcome, to the nuthouse

bobblehead · 25/07/2006 16:17

Hi Buffy

Sexonlegs · 25/07/2006 16:42

Wannabe, I am sorry to hear you are feeling low. As many have said on here already, there must be a way around it - and there might not be an "it" anyway - until the Dr's appointment, try to relax (which I know is difficult).
Welcome Buffy, you are definitely in the right place.
And Coggy my love, how good to see you. Yes, Bacardi Breezer. I have to say I haven't had one since, and that was nearly 4 years ago!
Hope everyone is well.
I am dying of heat and also q stressed. We are having an extension on the house, and it is about to get messy big time, so we are moving out. Dh has been told his job is disappearing at the end of the year, so a bit freaked by that, although was on the cards. Plus, this time next week my brother and his family are moving to the Far East for 2/3 years.
Boo HOo!!!
BAck later. xx

Natty1806 · 25/07/2006 16:47

maybe you should try the barcardi breezers again.

Nicki10 · 25/07/2006 17:04

Ok so I did another test a clear blue one and BFP!

Well less BF and just a bit of P was pale but defineatly there so that's 2 now and I'll do the digital tomorrow. Also got spares for later this week!

At work today I was also holding a 28 day old baby it seemed like eveything was just perfect! Musn't get to excited early days.

Sexonlegs · 25/07/2006 17:07

Nicki, that is great news. Congratulations!!

Natty, am thinking of mixing the Bacardi Breezer with the grapefruit juice! Eughhhhh

Natty1806 · 25/07/2006 17:41

I have grapefruit juice, think i will stick to the preseed with a few wines

Natty1806 · 25/07/2006 17:42
