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

hiya everyone,
Congratulations on that lovley bfp Nicki10, How wonderful for you, I cant wait to see member profiles in 8 or 9 months, they are going to be inundated with gorgeous babies after all these bfps just lately. Good luck with your pregnancies all you bfp-ers
Wannabe, I really dont think it will be bad news re. your dh sperm test. I think it is better to have appt with dr anyway, even the most well meaning receptionist may get the wrong end of the stick, always better to hear the info from the expert. IF there is a prob, you can discuss the solutions and plan of action at the same time. Try not to stress hun, this may be just the begining, not the end.
Trace, how are you feeling honeypie? Hope you are doing well, i have seen your name a few times but sorry have seemed to miss you lately.
Have been going through a bit of trauma, i started another thread to get some advice, didnt want to bore you with all the details. In a nutshell, am not ovulating which is why theres no babybump yet, after all this darn time!!! Gyny thinks i have Polycystic ovaries, too many hormones of the wrong kind, and no ovulation. Trying not to stress, but feel v.sad.
Why oh why cant life be a little more straightforward for once?!
Am trying to think positive, and to still believe i will hold my own baby one day.
Meanwhile, my sister had her egg collection today (ivf), 17 eggs!!!!!!! Delighted for her so far on this long journey. Keep your fingers crossed everyone, for plenty of lovely 5 star grade A+ (or however they rate them) embryos, ready to be put back on thursday.
Love to all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Natty1806 · 25/07/2006 18:06

keeping my fingers crossed for your sister.

bubblez · 25/07/2006 18:12

Sorry to hear that PCM, fingers crossed for you and fingers crossed for your sister.

Welcome BuffyTNS, if AF is late then test hun, we are all here for you whatever the result and then you will know what direction your going in.

SOL maybe bicardi breezers are the way for you. lol

Wannabe fingers crossed for you and your dp when is your apt?

Nicki get excited hun because you definately are pregnant.... a positive is a positive!!

How is everyone else this evening?

coggy · 25/07/2006 18:13

SOL..thank you for that lovely 'welcome back'...it made me smile.

Natty....I was quite concerned as I thought you were going to mix the grapefruit juice and preseed!!!
Wasn't sure which end that mixture would go in!!!!!

Pussycat...that sounds really positive for your sister and now, you have something more to work on maybe? Would you have the same sub-fertility issues as your sister maybe?
I discovered that I had LPD and my sister took years and YEARS ttc her first. After talking to her and my mum about them and my grandma it sounds as if we may all have had similar.
Just a thought?
I hope you don't feel too fed up after all this time.

bubblez · 25/07/2006 18:13

I can't believe that August hasn't even begun and already we have 3 BFP's on this thread how lovely is that!!

Nicki10 · 25/07/2006 18:13

Good luck to your sister Pussycatsister

coggy · 25/07/2006 18:15

Pussycat...that was meant to sound encouraging but I think it sounds a bit depressing.
Sorry....I don't think it's come out quite right.

Think the heat is stopping my flow!!

Natty1806 · 25/07/2006 18:24

Grapefuit juice mixed with preseed in a shot glass.

LOL

It could be next new thing, maybe after a pint of cough medicine.

trace2 · 25/07/2006 18:26

pussycat, ill look for thread, you know my friend on here the one with the baby she as that so you can get pg, and he dh as low sperm count too, great to see you back on line with give postive vibes for your sis hun!

bubblez · 25/07/2006 18:49

sounds like a treat natty lol

At the risk of sounding like a hypercondriact(sp), I have some quite af like pains in my lower left hand side... as if the bloating, wind and tiredness weren't enough now I fear af might be on the way.

But surely it is too early for af as my cycles have never been less than 28 days only longer?

I do get some cramping when I ov but I know that I oved ages ago b/c I got the ewcm.

Sexonlegs · 25/07/2006 18:50

Hello PCM, and lovely to see you on the August thread. Fingers crossed for your sister too.
Natty, pmsl at the thought of a pint of cough medicine - whatever next! Makes me want to heave just the thought of it.

Nicki10 · 25/07/2006 18:54

Bubblez when is your AF due? all your symptoms sound exactly as mine were, constant burping, tiredness and bloated stomach. I thought I'd just eaten to many pies!

Original poster
Beccy1974 · 25/07/2006 18:56

bloating (as usual) check
wind (more than usual! :-) check)
weird pains in side/s - check, but not much in way of uterus area type pain so must be af

v v v v tired and still peeing quite a lot, but being rational i guess just drinking more as hot

can anyone remind me, i know temping makes sense when you keep records etc, but as a rule, when do you get a dip and when should it stay high??

OP posts:
bubblez · 25/07/2006 18:56

Af due Sunday if 28 day cycle(like last month) or tuesday if 30day cycle. I have never had an early af always 28 days or later.

I think that I oved on the 16th.

Nicki10 · 25/07/2006 18:57

The dip occurs just before you OV so that's when to BD and from then on it will go higher and remain like that until AF arrives or throughout pregnancy.

bubblez · 25/07/2006 18:59

Becky where are your pains..?

Mine came on about 30 mins ago and they are much lower than stomach and generally on the left, cramping pains.

Nicki10 · 25/07/2006 18:59

Well Bubblez and Becci all I can say is I had those exact symtoms and no usual ones like sickness or sensitive breasts so I was sure I wasn't PG and here it is my BFP with less B and F hee hee!

Sexonlegs · 25/07/2006 19:01

Wow, it looks like there may be more bfp's on there way then with these symptoms going on for you guys.
How jolly exciting!!

pendulum · 25/07/2006 19:02

Blimey all,
Big congrats to bobblehead, Nicki and Wrighty! It's not even August yet!! Look after yourselves and demand to be pampered!

I'm still here- only CD 6 so very dull....

bubblez · 25/07/2006 19:02

Did you get pains too nicki? Or was it just the bloating and wind?

Oh I hope that it is, dare i say, pregnancy and not just phantom symptoms.

Sexonlegs · 25/07/2006 19:03

Hey Pendulum, I am CD4 of a 30-ish day cycle, so we can be cycle buddies!

Beccy1974 · 25/07/2006 19:07

nope, i thought same last month and month before, trying for 3 ..

my pains, just odd gripey things but its nothing out of ordinary. i kept a note of everything last month in diary and its all much as per then.

am just a total hypochondriac

OP posts:
Nicki10 · 25/07/2006 19:22

I've had pains pretty much all month. I had OV pains first which were like extreme cramps on the left hand side which went off immediately after I ov'd on the 13th.

Then start of last week I had like a pulling sensation in lower abdoman especially when I cough and after going for a wee. Sorry TMI . I still have these now and sometimes they are more on left hand side and sometimes on right.

bubblez · 25/07/2006 19:22

Your right Becky maybe they are just phantom symptoms... oh can't wait to find out one way or the other!

pendulum and SOL you may be early on in you cycle but ov is only another few days away must get prepping .... ooooohhh fingers crossed for you both!!

desperate2bmum · 25/07/2006 19:32
