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.

Hi girls. Really sorry Olivo to hear your news. Got a feelin I might be joining you next time around too.

Only on CD24 but in danger of repeating last months testing too early. Did one this am and a BFN although hoping it's just cos I'm too early.

Had what felt like reallly bad period pain this am too so don't know if they are about to appear..... time will tell!

olivo · 22/11/2008 17:53

noooooo, don't leave me!! sorry to hear about AF. you could technically make it in august, verykeen.
there is a september thread, but i'm too shy . I feel like I know you all!!

I've been out and got more OPKs, pregnacare conception vits and loads of grapefruit juice. oh, and a new battery for my thermometer!! I'm leaving nothing to chance, me! Thank goodness Boots had a special offer weekend on!

neevyweevy · 22/11/2008 18:59

AF just arrived I know ttc is a tricky process but I actually convinced myself that because i used the ovulation predictor tests and babydanced for 2 weeks solid (im still knackered lol) I would be pregnant! Anyway i suppose what will be will be! Im gonna stay on this thread do you think I might still make it into august?? im going to put me at the bottom of the list! xx

2manychips · 22/11/2008 19:46

Hey girls, af arrived for me yesterday and has gone today. Never done that before..what the devils going on?!! Lovely news bluesatinsash and specialoffer. Good luck x

bluesatinsash · 22/11/2008 20:47

Thanks everyone for all your good wishes, just wish there were more BFPs!!

2manychips - have you tested? I have read many times that sometimes AF arrives even though your pg as there is still Af hormones in your system... Some poor souls get AF throughout their pregnancies..

Suzibhoy - I have my fingers crossed for you..

VKFAB, neevy, olivo sorry to read about AF rearing her head.

specialoffer - I won't be joining the ante-natal club just yet. The memory of having to bow out of April 09 is still too fresh. I will be lurking though .

olivo · 22/11/2008 21:13

2manychips - i agree with bluesatinsash that you ought to test just in case. my sister thought she'd had AF but it was a bleed when she would have had AF and she was actually pg. it is something about the AF hormones 'over-riding' the pg ones ( sorry, i am not a scientist!!{grin])
good luck.

shopaholicDIVA · 22/11/2008 21:24

good luck and loads of baby dusts to everyone who is trying for baby in august. at least you are all not in aibu thread not wanting baby in august
2 years ago i found out i was pg on the day boden sale started and also i passed my driving test. and my little boy is sleeping peacefully in his bed now.
god bless you. babies are lovely and they are the best present in the whole world. have you xmas presents.

VeryKeenForABean · 22/11/2008 21:42

Just popping myself to the bottom, as you say, I could still be in for August at a stretch!

Hello ladies

a very big fat congratulaition to you bluesatinsash and Specialoffer I am very happy for you guys, hope there will be more and more BFP on this thread.

noodle12 yes you'r right I agree, but I am a bit confused, as I don't have sore boobs as usual before af and no tummy ache or crumpb, but still in my heart I don't feel that I am pg I don't know why?

so sorry VKFAB, neevy, olivo and all the other that got af, but just think and hope that there is always next month I now saying that is easier.

RipMacWinkle · 23/11/2008 08:22

Morning all - just updating the list again.

Really sorry about all of those pesky af arrivals. Hang around here though - this is a good (and v busy!) thread!

Looks like there are few people due to test in the next few days - keep us all posted.

Love to all x

August BFPs....so far

SpecialOffer

Sunnydale · 23/11/2008 11:46

Way-hey! So, so SO happy for you both Bluesatinsash and Specialoffer - hadn't checked thread for a coupla days and it was so great to hear some positive news. For those whose AF has recently arrived: sorry to hear it, but please stay on the August thread, it would be sad for you to go! Also, I guess babies can come early as well as late (esp second / third babies) so you could still easily squeeze one out in August!

I have updated the list to include more info on myself: hope nobody minds but although I only have one DC, I've put TTC#3 as it feels kinda wrong not including the other conception, even though it didn't make it. Hope that makes sense to some of you, if not all...

Looking forward to more big fat positives +++++

BellaHarry · 23/11/2008 12:03

Morning all! Haven't been in here for a bit lots seems to have happened! I'm poorly today sniffles and sicky. Reckon I'm 4 dpo and in that annoying waiting stage..trawling the internet for REALLY early signs of pregnancy realistically I've just got to wait right??

LJ29 · 23/11/2008 13:00

Any news from any of the ladies at the top of the list?

NewhereHelp · 23/11/2008 13:53

Hi all,

You all know / do so much more than me!! I have 2 teenage kids and they just sort of happened - don't know anything about temps / OPKs / Grapefruit juice - does this not just make it all a little more stressy?

I have been taking folic acid though, DP and I currently live over 2 hrs apart so we only get weekends really, although in a lucky twist that is always cd13 & 14 - I also just happen to be stopping in a hotel not too far away on Wednesday (CD10) - you never know eh!

Failing that Xmas will be a fantastic time for some BDing

Sorry went on a bit, hope all is good with everyone.x

BellaHarry · 23/11/2008 14:11

Hiya NewHere, two hours apart! That sounds tricky, I have trouble getting it in reularly as it is!

evie2000 · 23/11/2008 17:38

what's the story with grapefruit juice? goodness me!
hello to all and sorry to hear of AF's but hopefully some more BFPs soon. Th elong wait is on it's way here, only 7 more days till I test but unfortunately already have aches like AF so feeling a bit blue. mustn't be though - it's sunday night and we're cosy at home and we have much to be thankful for.
love and luck to all.

bubblebell1 · 23/11/2008 20:11

hi girls!

how are you all? still no more BFPs

lj suzi has her af. she posted friday i think so whoever updates the list can put her in.. i dont want to tamper i normally get it wrong.

well i still have no af and no bfp quite confused as it is normally here by now.

heres to next month.

i wondered if you were following any other methods. i know some of you are trying the sperm meets egg plan but am open to other suggestions

olivo · 23/11/2008 20:53

hello bubble, was just wondering about you earlier. i'm going to do the sperm meets egg plan if me and dd ever shake off this stupid cold. i'm also armed with grapefruit juice ,and the pregnacare conception tablets, as well as a new subscription to fertility friend!!fingers crossed for you still though, you might get a late bfp.

BabyBump2B · 23/11/2008 22:51

Hi Ladies!

I'm going nuts in my tww. Wasn't really thinking about it but every night I have TONS of pregnancy dreams. My subconscious is trying to kill me!

4 Days to go until AF is supposed to arrive. Arrrrrrg!

bubblebell1 · 24/11/2008 09:10

morning girls!

how is everyone this morning.

sorry lj, suzis af hasnt arrived i misunderstood her post

Olivio...i think i will try the sperm meets egg plan once AF rears her ugly head. still a bfn this morn tho do you think the cheapie tests i got from babymad are faulty

how much grapefruit juice do i need to drink daily to help my cm? and do you think pregnacare conception is better than just taking folic acid?

im really confused i dont know why i havnt come on as i am sure i ovulated 2 wks ago today. i just want af here so i can start again iykwim??
