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.

SpecialOffer · 21/11/2008 16:31

evie2000 · 21/11/2008 17:39

oh blue satinsash, I know I've only dropped into this thread a few times but I'm just so thrilled for you. That positive test is so exciting and particularly in light of your recent experiences. Enjoy every moment and really good luck.

Oh so glad i've popped by - was feeling a bit down but now really positive and reminded it can happen!

great news.

olivo · 21/11/2008 18:34

Congratualtions specialoffer and bluesatinsash! I wish you loads of luck and may your bfps be the first of many.

noodle, i thought i mght have try on sunday, that's be weeks post ov for me. not hopeful this cycle but you never know i suppose. how about you? are you more patient than me?

feeling pretty dreadful today, full of cold and had a hellish day at work, but the bfp news has cheered me up.

HomeintheSun · 21/11/2008 18:44

Congratualtions specialoffer and bluesatinsash! I hope this is the first two of many.

olivo · 21/11/2008 19:58

didnt expect to be back again so soon, but AF has just arrived. strangely enough, i don't feel as disappointed as i thought i might, more relieved that my body is doing something after coming off the pill and pleased that i can still 'have a try' for an august baby.
oh, and can take something tonight to relieve my cold!!
so, i'll go to the bottom of the list again!!
good luck to everyone else.

Issy42 · 21/11/2008 23:26

Congratulations Specialoffer and Bluesatinsash !

Sorry AF arrived Olivo.

I'm away for my cousin's wedding in the morning, so here's hoping for lots more BFPs by the time I next read the thread.

BabyBump2B · 22/11/2008 01:18

Hi all!

Hope you don't mind if I join you - I've added myself to the list.

Also (hope its not tmi) but I've had a sort of constant amount of ewcm despite having ovulated already. Does anyone else get this?

Ooops does the TTC mean the number of attempts of TTC (i.e. this is our 5th month trying) or how the number of the child you are trying for (i.e. 3rd child?) Just wanted to be clear that I am not trying for my 5th child!!!!

HomeintheSun · 22/11/2008 07:33

Babybump2B I hope I'm right in saying that ttc number is the child number you're trying for. welcome to the thread and good luck.

dcb · 22/11/2008 07:45

Hi all. Have been following your thread. Can I ask a quick question? Does your temp drop just before a period? Am on day 26 and feel as if I might have period pains - although can't remember what my old periods were like - I've been on the pill for years and haven't had a proper one for ages? Still wishful thinking...

RipMacWinkle · 22/11/2008 07:51

Morning all

I'm so excited to read we have our first bfps!!!!! I really, really, really hope they're not the last....

Am officially on the 2ww now. Have a feeling it's going to be looooong one.

Those BFPs were lovely news this morning. Plus I heard a friend who's had a couple of mc is having a baby. Am so pleased for her. I have a good vibe and am feeling a lot calmer about the whole thing just now. Not sure why.

Homeinthesun - hope you don't mind me updating the list again to show our BFPs!

olivo · 22/11/2008 08:20

dcb - your temp does dip with your period although mine didnt till this morning and my AF arrived last night. Like you, had been on the Pill so no idea but obviously, what i thought were constipation pains were probably AF pains!!
my only consolation is that at least i can monitor properly now i've had a 'real' period, and can take meds for this stinking cold wothout worrying ( hot toddies here i come!!)

smallone · 22/11/2008 09:05

Congratulations specialoffer and bluesatinsash glad to see the BFPs are starting to roll in.

My sister is staying from tonight til wednesday CD10-15, so we're going to have to be very quiet!

I've just realised that the lubricant that we use is probably not helping us conceive, and not wanting to fork out on preseed am trying natural methods to do without. I'm trying fenugreek tablets and drinking lots of water. The fenugreek worked to increase my breastmilk when I was BFing so I'm hoping it'll do the trick now. If anyone else has any other ideas I'm willing to try!

VeryKeenForABean · 22/11/2008 09:31

Congratulations blue and special, am so pleased for you!! How amazing that we're in on it from the beginning!!! Hope you're both feeling well, and it's beginning to sink in!

Thank you so much for all the supportive and kind messages. Am feeling a bit better now. Am going to try and wait 'til maybe Tuesday before testing, but those bfp's have tempted me!!!

Baby dust to all x

neevyweevy · 22/11/2008 09:58

Morning Ladies! Not really been on all week but have been catching up with bubble through email! Today is D Day for me and I feel awful, the witch is definately on her way, I have dreadful period pains but Im still hoping its a sign of pregnancy! although I tested last night I couldnt help myself and it was BFN! I shall keep you all updated as to when and if she arrives! and congratulations to all who have BFP!!!!

LJ29 · 22/11/2008 12:45

Afternoon ladies, congrats to those with a BFP let hope they're the start of many!!

I think I ov'd about 6 days ago and ever since have had a really funny tummy on and off. I'm not sure I would describe it as crampy but more like a stretchy, pulling kind of sensation. very odd and just wondered if anyone else has had this?

bubblebell1 · 22/11/2008 13:39

congratulations blue and special im so so pleased for you both heres to all the others that are due to follow.

i tested this morn and it was a BFN

AF not here yet but i am preparing myself for next month and ttc already. sadly i dont think i will have a due date in aug if 'she' arrives after the weekend so will i be evicted from the thread ??

good luck to those on the 2ww

LJ29 i have had funny pains down below since ov too. they seem to have subsided now tho. felt like pressure. i have no idea what it was but am thinking it could be body returning to normal after pill.

hey bubblebell sounds like we are both in the same position... heres to AF staying the hell away .

i would also like to stay on this thread if AF arrives......... do u think anyone would mind if we added ourselves to the bottom of the list??? although it might not come to that fingers crossed.

olivo · 22/11/2008 17:22

hopefully it wont come to that, but if AF does catch up with you, i'd welcome the company!!

VeryKeenForABean · 22/11/2008 17:27

Typical, spotting started after writing that last post! AF arrives again Hope she hasn't got anyone else. Hope the pain passes neevy.

In additional twist, the ebay tests were on the mat when I got out of the bathroom!!

With so many of us coming to this point, maybe it's time to start a September thread!

I think I might want to step it up a gear this month, may look into OPKs/vits/preseed again. Am getting more and more attracted by the idea of reflexology/acupuncture too, even if just for a spot of relaxing!
