Im trying for an August baby

[LittleCheese]

Hi wondered if any one else was aiming for an August baby and fancied joining me this month to pass the time. This will be our 3rd cycle of TTC now and im on CD1 but staying positive.

My details are

Gemma C, TTC#2, usual cycle length 28-32 days, cd1

Please feel free to add yourself to the list, I would love some company.

Morning everyone!

Hope the BD'ing is going well

I just got a positive on my ovulation test this morning, but I read on the web somewhere that once you get this it is probably too late, as you have most likely missed the egg???? Is this true???? (please say it isnt true as haven't BD'ed since Monday night)!

Morning all...

I'm not expert, but I understand (from reading the leaflet in my opk box ) that you will ov 24-36 hours after your LH peak, so if you got a line (or and O or a smiley face or whatever) then you will ov sometime over the next day. That's my understanding anyway.

Warmseabreeze Hi, firstly its not too late OPKs work on the basis that the LH Surge comes before ovulation, but get to it tonight, tomorrow and the next day, as much as possible.

Here is the Sperm meets egg plan it goes into more detail about it.

Hope that puts your mind at rest.

LJ I think that the LH surge comes before ov and then the progesterone kicks in, so wouldnt be recorded on normal OPKs as surg)e as they looking for LH not progesterone. (i Think thats right You may need to check this, but wouldnt be concerned you had a +ive so go with that and heres to lots of BDing.

Hi everyone!

How are you all doing? well im cd 25 and im still waiting for af or that elusive BFP

i dont 'feel' pregnant and im still having awful pains in my stomach. last night they were shooting down my legs and this morning its just in 1 side of my lower abdomen. ive also got a headache that i cant shift and need the loo every 5 mins. tbh i feel really emotional. AF must be closer than i thought. but these pains are worrying me.

god this is just pure torture.

xxxx
hope you all feel better than me.

morning! i agree with the opk advice that the [ositive shows a LH surge abnd ov will happen within 24-36 hrs late, so yuo shoul still catch it if yuo bd after the positive opk.
welcome specialoffer, hope this is a lucky month for you as well.

bubble, sorry to hear you're feeling wobbly.

LJ - repsect for all the bding!!

Issy, your work situation sounds tricky, I don't envy you there. hope it works out for you.

i have been feeling a bit weird today but there's no way i could have symptoms at 10 DP\o, is there? nausea and weeing a lot! I hate the way your body plays tricks like that.fertility friend says i shouldnt test till 29th if AF hasnt arrived but I can't wait that long.

Olivo keep strong as too early to test yet, how long is your cycle usually.

Bubble, those pains could be implantation pains so keep positive.

Not sure how i feel today, I got an ovary that is def. awake and saying hello since yesterday evening but a -ive on the opk, didnt go +ive til cd14 last month and only cd12 today so not too worried. Am planning on bding loads aswell just incase duff tests

hi all, im well impressed with all the BDing thats going on

how long after you concieve does implantation take place? In other words im just wondering if what im feeling is implantation pains, but not sure if its too early for that.... fingers crossed

Can someone translate?

What is cd? TTC I'm guessing trying to conceive?

CD is cycle day, New.
Implantation happens usually around 7 to 10 days i think, Suzi. I'm kind of hoping that might be what is causing my pains.

pinkie, i'm first cycle off the pill so dont know much about my cycles. Fertility friend has shifted my ov and said I'm now 10DPO so maybe the pains I'm getting are AF approaching. Can a LP be longer than 14 days? i know it can be shorter.

bubble - if you dont mind me asking, how many dpo do you think you are? could well be implantation.

I am then TTC#3, usual cycle 28 days, CD3. I have 2 teenage DS's (I think I worked the code out there)- Month 3 of TTC with new partner - be gentle with me too, all new to me this stuff :-)

olivo i am 9 or 10 days past ov. im not 100 % sure as i didnt use test sticks.

FF changed the date af is due too. am gettin confused! doesnt take much

fingers crossed for you that they might be impantation pains then, it'd be about the right time. I'm in a similar position, but am now wondering if the trips to the loo and the pains may be a uti for me?! am off to buy some cranberry just in case!

thanks olivo, i too am clutching at straws but i really think its my AF on its way.. boo!

will be testing 2moro tho so hopefully i get the ball (or should i say bean) rolling.

hi newherehelp, welcome and happy TTC [smile}

bubblebell1 - fingers crossed for you. when are you ready to test?

good luck suzi, and be sure to let us know!

Thank you, I must admit, it's all quite exciting and positive if not a little confusing

I have everything crossed that is all pregnancy signs but sadly for me i do think its AF rearing her ugly head

i am goin to hold off testing and perhaps test monday.. af is due mon or tues so only 1 day early then

good luck for tomorrow suzi i shall check here to see your result

when are you going to test olivo? do you think if we are gettin pains then it would make a test show positive??

hi newhere!! good luck trying

Hi girls Had a +ive OPK yesterday but didn't manage to BD till this morning then did another OPK this afternoon & it was -ive. I'm hoping we havn't missed the best time by not be able to bd last night, but did bd for the 3 nights before & will hopfully get another one in tonight just incase. I was reading your comments on when the OPK turn +ive & hoping for the 24-36 time frame
Oh well I guess I'm now on the 2WW which is great timing as we fly back to the UK tomorrow for my father-inlaws Birthday wkend so will be able to enjoy bding for fun & maybe a sneaky glass of wine

bd-ing for fun , smiley? what's that?
bubble, i thought i might do a sneaky test on sunday as dh is away, if AF hasn't arrived. that'd be around 13 days since my probable ov. not holding out much hope though.

HI all, sorry to jump in but I have a question for those who temp and test OV sticks. I got the OV test positive when I expected it but my temp has not risen or done anything. Is it possible I still haven't ovulated if you got a positive on the ovulation sticks or is it possible your temp doesn't rise? DH is away on business but back tonight and I'm wondering if I should be pouncing on him in case I didn't ovulate when I should have done.
Anyway thanks for any thoughts to you all and hope everyone doing ok holding out for the testing. I always end up testing and seeing the bfn is so depressing so this month I have decided not to test as we're going to be on holiday and I can't face the downer. Better to let nature take its course I think....be strong! I can say that now but check me out in 2 weeks when i'm desperate to test....

evie- if it was me, i'd be inclined to go with the opks as i'm not 100 % reliable with temping - not always awake at the same time etc etc. then again, why not pounce on dh on his return anyway, "just in case"?!

has your temp gone up or just stayed the same?

hey all!! so many posts to catch up on!! hello to all the new faces by the way!! Evie i have read that it is possible to get a LH surge and not ovulate and also gt a false LH surge a few days before you get another a few days later and then ovulate! i have read this on the net though so i dont know how reliable it was - i think it may have been on the baby centre website but dont quote me! i would just baby dance away to be sure!!!

sorry ladies but cant personally comment on everyones posts as i woiuld be here all night bubble, dont give up yet! xxxxx

i dont know whats going on with me! Today is 5 days since i got the little "O" on my persona and i really do not feel myself, im not obsessing by any means! (Hence the lack of posts from me!) and i really havent been thinking much about ttc with all thats gone on over the last few months but today i had some reddish brown stains when i went to the loo - sorry if tmi! and i have terrible cramps really painful! and boonbs are sooooooooo tender!! im actually protecting them has have a fear they may get knocked and it hurts!! someone slap me cos this is way too soon isnt it!!?! i arent even looking for symtpoms but i cant help notice these things!!! AAAaaaaarrrggghhH!!!!

I set out to bd everyother day between 13 and 24 but it's not worked out that way because DS has been up a lot in the night so we've only done it 3 times on CD12,14 and 16 I think I ovulated about cd 14 so hopefully we've done enough, think were going to carry on bd just for the fun of it cause I don't want dh to think I only want him for his sperm.
