TTC in August Looking for a BFP

507 replies

Hi,
Thought I'd start a thread for those of us looking for a BFP in August. I'm ttc #2. Have a DS of 3.3. I'm current on CD15 - OD day - with a bit of luck. Have been bd'ing like mad over my fertile days and will continue to do so for a few more days yet. Then it will just be the 2ww. Anyone else in situation?

i used to make dp 'come on we have to' doesn't make for fabby sex! have a good holiday x

fairysnuff · 17/08/2007 19:40

DH is getting excited already
Oh No! I didn't mean it like that!
It is just that we are both keen for another LO, so he is hoping as much as me that we manage easily again.

Hi Guys,

I am new here. Been TTC for 2 months now. Have an 8 year old so its been a while since I have been preggers! lol

I am really hoping for BFP this month. My last period was 21/07 due on this tues coming. Tested this morning after dreaming about going to tescos to buy some tests....tried to wait but couldnt help it had to buy them...tested and got BFN

I have cramping like period pains (but had that with my first pregnancy) headaches and tiredness. A little back pain aswell.

I have also been checking out the whole "feel your cervix" method....however not sure what my cervix should really be feeling like in early pregnancy..any help would be good. Have read a few articles but I just cant seem to take it in....its all a bit medical. Need some advice from someone knows what their cervix feels like in the first 4 weeks...lol

I was nver this obsessed with my 1st...didt test till 6 weeks...lol now you have to chain me to the house to stop me buying them!! lol rarrarar I hate the 2WW!!!

ANy help or advice on symtoms other are having would be really helpful!!

Thanks guys, hope to hear from you soon!

Welcome clarebx

Hoping that you just tested too early rather than it not being this month!

Sorry no idea about cervix feeling, but there are people on mn that do know about this. I am sure that someone can answer your question.

CD29 here and still no period - will test again on Monday if still not arrived!

I am back in my bubble of hope, as period usually arrives bang on time and if it is late usually have period symptoms leading up to it which I just don't have this time!

ClareBX · 18/08/2007 09:49

Hi Belle,

Thank you!!

Good idea...I think I will just leave it to Monday to test again. I hope you get a BFP.

Oh Bellie.....I REALLY hope it's a BFP!!! I'm CD28 and DO feel like it's on it's way Funny though, I'm not that bothered now. Now I have an explanation for the things I was feeling, I actually feel better for knowing! I've decided that I'm going to TRY MY BEST to just get on with it i.e. stay off the pill and just have sex like we normally do. We do every other/few days anyway so I shouldn't really need to check out for ovulation etc! Anyway, I say I'm going to try, bet I end up buying the biggest bulk pack of OV sticks (or whatever it is) lol

Best of luck Bellie, keeping everything crossed for you!!

LT xx

ladylush · 18/08/2007 11:04

Scorpio it's lovely to hear from you and I think you are right about it happening because you were relaxed. What CD were you when you tested? According to my ov sticks I'm supposed to test from CD6 - sounds way too early imo. Still spotting from period. Think I'll leave it today and try from tomorrow or next day.

Hi everyone else. Tomorrow is our 7th wedding anniversary but it will be 17 together as we met in 1990 so we had many years together before having children which was great but now I'm having trouble making #2 it seems like some cruel karma.

Anyway, we're off out tonight. My mum is babysitting so we're off to the bar and restaurant

Bellie · 18/08/2007 15:05

Have a lovely evening tonight ladylush

Upsidedowncake · 19/08/2007 06:32

ooh Bellie. Good luck! Fingers crossed.

Upsidex

Bellie · 19/08/2007 09:58

cd30 - still no sigh of period or any pains! Going to wait until tomorrow though to test again.
How are you today upsidedown - you were up early

Waiting2Exhale · 19/08/2007 12:36

Hi all, newbie here. Is it ok for me to join, I know its late in the month.

Am CD 23 and expecting AF on 25th August. Have a DS of just over 1 and have been TTC for 2 months.

scorpio1 · 19/08/2007 13:21

Ladylush-i was cd32-weird, i know, becuase of my cycles. was a strong bfp too, think i oved cd19 that month. Hope you had a good night out

Good luck to you testers

Thelittlesoldiersmummy · 19/08/2007 13:40

Right well am conpletely confused thought AF was coming last night have had odd cycles last month 28 the month before 30 am day 29 today anyway went to the loo last night and wiped there was a very small amount of red blood so thought that was that so put a pad in but when I got up this morning there was no more blood went for a wee then checked my cervixs it has gone high and soft and no sign of anymore blood so did a sainsburys test and there was the fainted line ever hold up to the light faint but deff there as my DH could see it so I went to tescos and bought a clearblue and came home and tested and there is a faint positive on that as well again really faint so what does this mean am I or not

Bellie · 19/08/2007 17:03

thelittlesoldiersmummy - they say that a positive is a positive - congratulations

looneytune · 19/08/2007 17:11

That's what I thought but didn't want to be the one to say it in case I was wrong BUT........CONGRATULATIONS

looneytune · 19/08/2007 17:14

TLSM - I'm still waiting for my period but it's got to be coming as it feels like it. Can I just ask about the cervix checking??? (saw yoou mention on other thread) What examples can you give of what things mean? I also saw someone mention checking CM inside? ANYTHING anyone can tell me would be great. I've never checked before but just did and I presume it's what you call hard and low? and it's milky lotion like (sorry tmi). Just fancy knowing what some of you others obviously do!!! Presuming all this confirms it's on it's way? And it hurts more now

Ambi · 19/08/2007 17:45

Hey scorpio - SOOO HAPPY FOR YA! Congrats on your BFP. We started on these TTC threads together, and I've been looking for updates on everyone, and am pleased to say that I hardly recognise any names on the TTC boards (which can only be a good thing).

So does that make you due in March? - My maths is rubbish, nice time of year...

LoveAngel · 19/08/2007 18:04

Hi Ladies - just a quick update. Got my AF a whole week late (and after doing 5 pregnancy tests!). Bloody hell...my emotions have been all over the place this week. I can't go through this again next month so just going to relax and maybe take a month or two 'off' thinking about ttc - whatever happens happens, eh? Good luck to all of you and hope to hear lots of good news from you all v soon :-) xxx

Upsidedowncake · 19/08/2007 18:53

Hello there

I've been hanging out on the Lcy thread with the other people in my situation - figured it was better to leave this as a conception thread.

But I have been keeping up with everyone's news.

Oooh The Little soldiers mummy - that is really good news! Fab. Your line should get stronger every day as you get more and more hormone! Not that you should spend the money ...

LT - good luck

Love angel - sorry about your AF. all the best for next month.

Scorpio - lovely to see you back

and Bellie - good luck for tomorrow. Got my fingers crossed for you.

looneytune · 20/08/2007 07:47

I'm soooooo stpuid!!! Just wasted ANOTHER test just because I didn't get my period yesterday. FFS, I KNOW it's coming, I can feel it and everything suggests it's coming BUT because when I was on the pill I would always get it on the Sunday, I decided to test Of course you know the result .

Don't let me test any more!! I just need to wait for it to arrive, after all, this is the first month post pill so I should expect a different cycle!!!

at myself!

looneytune · 20/08/2007 07:50

Loveangel I'll be joining you soon! [winkn]

Bellie - Good Luck

TLSM - agree with upsidedowncake

USDC - hope you are coping ok and the other thread has been good for support. Thinking of you x

Bellie · 20/08/2007 08:14

loveangel but now you can focus on the next month is the way that I have to look at it.

LT - you still never know - it ain't over till it's over!

Upsidedown - glad to hear that you are getting support xx

BFN this morning - but still no signs!! loveangel - looks like I am following in your footsteps!

Have a good day all x

looneytune · 20/08/2007 08:24

Bellie - oh no, well as you say, it aint over til it's over

I'd like to think the same way but I've got no feeling at all of being pregnant, not had sore boobs for at least a week, al symptoms gone apart from white spots on boobs but that's probably from hormones after coming off the pill. I DO feel like AF is coming, checked my cervix after lesson from TLSM and it's low down and hard which suggests not pg I'm soooo stupid, I've used 7 tests in this first month alone. It's only because they were VERY cheap from ebay and therefore cost doesn't matter. I deffo wouldn't have done that if they were the price of the pee on stick ones you get at the shops!

I actually want my period to arrive, I know it's coming and the sooner the better to get it all out of the way! And next month, I'm going to try and avoid counting days, checking anything, just going to do the business when we want to and TRY and not think about the fact we're ttc.

munchkinmum · 20/08/2007 08:48

erm -morning all.

Am a lurker and occassional poster on this thread but not posted for a while as I felt that TTC was really getting on top of me.

AF late and tested this morning - hell's bells. A BFP!

Just wanted Mumsnet to be the first to know as even though I have not posted much it has given me such support lately.

Love to you all
Munch
