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

Hi Beccy - thanks for asking

I feel bloody awful as it happens, but I shall do no moaning here!

sallywoo · 17/07/2006 13:27

Coggy, SOL fancy another cycle buddy???

I am new but have been reading for ages finally plucked up the courage to post after seeing so many BFP's on these threads.

ME: 29 no other children
DH: 30
TTC: 12 long months!!!!!!

Tried everything from temping, OPK's, EPO, grapefruit juice, cough syrup and pre seed.
Saw gyne in june had bloods done, HSG which was v painful, DH has had test also. Waiting for results next apt in Aug. Trying to keep calm and not think about it all the time but it is so hard.

Beccy1974 · 17/07/2006 13:28

nightmare; someone recommended some odd ginger drink from a health food shop on a thread i browsed earlier. said it really worked for them. .. might be worth a try

Angsthase · 17/07/2006 14:06

I find it impossible not to think about TTC most of the time. Going slowly insane.

AF due Thurs. Wish it wasn't going to come, but as DH only reappeard day 21 - me thinks I have fat chance of a BFP!

Roll on OV in August . Might just keeping practicing once AF has been and gone.

Here's hoping we all see a BFP before the end of it!

Sexonlegs · 17/07/2006 14:18

Hi Angsthase, my af is due Wednesday or Thursday this week, although it has been "threatening" since yesterday. So, bring it on August!!

Sexonlegs · 17/07/2006 14:23

Sallywoo, welcome! Of course you can join me (and Coggy - can't speak for her, but she seems a pretty welcoming person!)
Fingers crossed.

Booboobedoo, I would love to join you on your thread - hopefully will be there soonest!!

Becky, pmsl about the "odd ginger drink"! My tipple when conceived dd was an orange flavoured bacardi breezer!

Welcome chunkymunkey too.

trace2 · 17/07/2006 14:24

hi all just an up date realy! not read all post so who ever got there bfp congratulations, them whos af came sorry,
looks like i wont need a d& c its mosley come away this weekend(sorry if its tmi) been in lots of pain which gp says it comferms it was a miscarage, not just implation, at one time dh was taking me to a&e as he hated seeing me like this. i think i have relized it must have been for a reson that this happened! i am still having a little cry now and again as i think that was maybe our last chance, i have to stay stong for ds ., as most of you know we was going to have put our dog down, but some how hes pulled through, i know this may sound silly, but its like one life for an other.
i will be joining the august thread, but at the moment i still carnt sit long on here and its still very raw! i keep thinking i was only pg for 4 days, so it as been easier than losing it later on.

Natty1806 · 17/07/2006 14:37

Glad to hear you feeling a little better trace, think you were in a lot of our thoughts the past few days. You will get pregnant again, so try to think positive ( i know it must be hard) good news about your dog though. Take it easy. x

Sexonlegs · 17/07/2006 14:39

Oh Trace, how lovely to hear from you. I have been been thinking about you all weekend, as I know many people have.
I am soo pleased about your dog - that must be a huge relief not to have that trauma.
Once again, I am really sorry about your loss. I have to say I have not experienced this myself, but I know others who have including a very good friend, about 2 weeks ago. I do feel for you, and know only time can heal, and that everything happens for a reason.
I wish you well with whatever you decide to do and will keep an eye out for you on mn.
Take care Trace. xx

coggy · 17/07/2006 18:12

So glad to hear from you on here Trace and really good news about your lovely doggy.
If wishes were changes we'd have done it on MN for you for both things.
X

SOL....so you're not my CB anymore eh?!!
Maybe............

Sallywoo...I am a pretty welcoming person (!) SOL's quite right!!
You can be my cycle buddy.
I've been ttc for 13 months now so a few things in common there....welcome aboard!!!

Sexonlegs · 17/07/2006 18:24

Hi Coggy, I am not sure what is going on. I am not officially due until Wed/Thurs but thought things had kicked off yesterday. Do feel periody though, so will not be surprised in the least when she rears her ugly head! Bummer!!
Hope you're feeling ok today hun. xx

coggy · 17/07/2006 19:17

I had a weird wait this month for AF...really different.
Shame...it gets your hopes up doesn't it?!

I'm fine today thanks apart from dripping with sweat!!
Nice!!!
Keep crossing my legs and wishing I hadn't!
I think trousers are far better than skirts in hot weather...I can't bear my skin touching itself!!
Freaky??!!!

Let's hope it cools down for around ov time or I've got no chance this month!!!!

It's horrid that AF wait isn't it?
I keep convincing myself one thing and then talking myself out of it.
Unfortunately I had a long time of doing that this time!!
Have you/will you test or wait for your next couple of days?

Sexonlegs · 17/07/2006 20:12

Coggy, you are hilarious!! I just think it best to go knicker-less myself - the only way to keep air circulating round those regions.

Feeling a bit naffed on now with waiting
for af to fully arrive, cos I have had real pains today but not a lot else. They have also been a bit like ov-type pain which I get often - sort of a shooting type pain, but only lasting a few seconds. Also TMI warning here... cm seems to have gone back to being creamy coloured now.
God love it all.
I couldn't agree more about bdíng in this heat - the last thing one would want to be doing - can't be arsed most of the time anyway - how awful is that! Anyway, need to check dinner isn't burnt to a frazzle. Will be back later. xx

coggy · 17/07/2006 21:05

hey SOL..hope your dinner was okay!
I guess you're watching BB right now!!
I can't be much bothered with that now Nicki's gone but probably'll get into it again soon.

Hope your rumblings aren't AF....

Angsthase · 18/07/2006 09:40

Well SOL if Coggy can't be your CB anymore I'm quite happy to be , but hopefully you'll get a BFP and won't need me anymore

Believe it or not I'm having the opposite problem to you girls. Work in an office with aircon and am freezing my proverbials off. Think it's working overtime! Could do with some of that tho when it comes to BD'ing - talk about sweaty betty!!

Angsthase · 18/07/2006 09:40

sorry if TMI!!

Natty1806 · 18/07/2006 10:16

LOL

Sexonlegs · 18/07/2006 10:38

Know what you mean. I am glad that it isn't the "right time" for bd'ing at the moment - would die of heat exhaustion! Mind you, good for burning off extra calories.
CD29 for me today soe really due tomorrow/Thursday. No more cramps or period-type cm, but I am soooo not getting my hopes up, as af can be a sneaky madam when she wants, lulling you in to a false sense of security and the biting you on the bum!!

MrsMcJnr · 18/07/2006 10:40

Hello, I'm climbing on this train now, let's all hope it's a lucky one!

Sexonlegs · 18/07/2006 16:21

Hi Mrs McJnr, I too am all aboard now and ready to go! Dabbled on here at the weekend as thought af had arrived, but then it petered out.
But, af definitely here now, so this will be my new hang out.
Fingers crossed ladies.
Dd was conceived in August 2002, so perhaps that is an omen!

desperate2bmum · 18/07/2006 18:47

grrrrrrrr i hate this weather!!!!
hope you are all ok and not burnt to a crisp with all this heat...i am on cd12 and this damn waether is not doing me any favours!!
