Hi guys - we've had May and June, so may July be third thread lucky. I am a July baby myself. All welcome.

8 days here too.

felt bit periody earlier so not holding my breath.

still this was 1st official month after getting 1st period since lo, (17 mths) was born, that would just be very jammy would it not?

BoosieBoo · 23/10/2008 20:44

Hi everyone,
I posted a little while ago, but have been watching the thread - lots of BFP's - fab news and congrats to all you lucky ones.

We're trying for baby no.2. I'm pretty sure i ovulated a few days ago. I haven't tested with sticks, but had the familiar pain in my side. Hope we've BDed at the right time, but has been trickier second time round with 8 month old DS making frequent visits to our bed - he is teething though so i'll forgive him! Determined not to test till 4th November as I think that's around two weeks since I ov'd, but may crack before then... may the BFP's continue!

LJ29 · 23/10/2008 20:53

Hi guys, haven't posted for a while, tryingt to obsess and have been surprisingly relaxed and seem to have this overwhelming peacfulness and acceptance of what will be will be! Sorry if I appear to have turned into a hippy overnight!!!

Thrush has cleared up now, on CD 31 but cycle length can be anywhere between 28-31. Did a test Monday which was BFN but not too worried as this happened with DS1. Has anyone ever experienced excessive burping as an early sypmtom?

LJ29 · 23/10/2008 20:54

Should say trying NOT to obsess!!

liahgen · 23/10/2008 20:55

LJ Monday???

retest!

LJ29 · 23/10/2008 20:55

Having a very dizzy night! Should also say cycle length anywhere between 28 and 40 days!!!

LJ29 · 23/10/2008 20:59

Hi liahgen, I actually don't feel tempted at all. I find BFNs so soul destroying and because my cycles can be so long I am just happy to wait and see what happens. Going to wait until at least the start of next week I think.

liahgen · 23/10/2008 21:05

yeah i was thinking of your 31 day cycle, you know the one that doesn't exist.

Well you have more patience than me. I have apack of 10 ebay chePIES SITTING IN MY CUPBOARD CALLING TO ME.

Issy42 · 23/10/2008 22:07

Hope you don't mind me joining you late. I'm probably going straight to the bottom in 2 days as had a BFN today, but this seems to be a lucky thread (congrats on all the BFPs) so you never know.

Hope everyone ok, any bfp's today?

oh sorry to hear that yellow. Is this usually how it starts for you?

thanks for alteration. Not sure how fertility friend works tbh, I typed in lmp and it came up with this. Also put my fertile days at 3 days earlier than my opk, so maybe we didn't even have timing right this month.

Bugger, I am so impatient.

this morning got bfn with tesco cheapie fmu, was sure felt af terrible cramps down below, irritable and teary -got to work went to do a knicker chec and there was a brownish red stain in them, not had anything like it before and thought it was af starting, wiped it was mucussy (is that a word?? so put a towel into till af got going. was sure i could feel it all morning so cried to dh on phone, cried at my desk and was literally heartbroken. then got a call from my friend who has same cycle as me and also ttc this month, she was sure af coming but nothing and always has it first thing. we chatted and she went to get a test at 11ish VERY soon later she called me to say she had a bfp! i was so so happy for her she was so shocked and so happy but deep down i was falling apat - tears came i was gutted i just couldnt and still dont understand why i havent got a bfp - we did exactly the same, in fact i bd a lot lot more!! anyway went to change pad and there was nothing!! not a drop or a splurge!! awful cramps but no af, what i thought was af was just lots of cm! TMI WARNING - there is loads of it!! so at lunch i went to get a cb test - not digital and peed away - hadnt had that much to drink and got another bfp?? was so mad at myself cos was sure deep down that af was coming but hanging on to a hope that stain this morning was actually implantation bleeding. carried on to this afternoon and on another trip to loo to find no af i managed to go to loo, constipation for 2 days now and i managed to let a bit of it go - PAIN has gone>!>!>! ??? dont feel like af coming any more, something very wrong with boobs and have a banging headache and feel sick. WHAT IS GOING ON?????? still no af?? i do think headache and sickness may be all emotions im feeling but i have continued to cry over anything all day, im never this emotional! i no i am hanging on to a huge hope here but do i stand a chance this month??

ForcesSweetheart · 24/10/2008 17:18

Wishing, I'm confused, you say you got a bfp?

"and peed away - hadnt had that much to drink and got another bfp?? "

Doesn't that mean it probably was implantation bleeding? Or did you mean to type BFN?

I just gave in and went and did the early FR test, was a BFN but I'm still living in hope.

Wishing · 24/10/2008 17:23

omg aarrgghh!! i meant bfn i got a bfn!! sorry!!

squally · 24/10/2008 17:45

wishing - hang in there, I got a bfn on CD 27 with DS and i've got a 28 day cycle. I used a cheapie test as we were on our way to a wedding and had to stop off to pick one up on the way. Anyway left it a week and by then had full on nausea, and a bfp! keeping fingers crossed for you.x
I've realised that the metallic taste is down to the pregnacare i've been taking since monday that's got iron in it. (doh!). no other symptoms for me yet. It's going to be a long week.
