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.

good luck everyone.

Hi, can I join too? I'm on cd 18 but not sure when I've ovulated (or if I even have yet!) so not even sure when I'd be due if I were so lucky to get a bfp this month.

We are ttc our 5th baby but only our 3rd living child.

Makka-I was thinking back to how dh and I conceived my dd and have fond memories of bding sometimes twice a day for over a week around ov! Dont have quite the same energy levels now-no wonder its taking us longer! Hi chubby!

VeryKeenForABean · 01/11/2008 12:02

Hi guys,

Having taken some time out to mope, I'm now back in the saddle so to speak! Having had such a long cycle, I've missed the July thread altogether and made my way straight over here!! I think I am on about cd 11 (where exactly do you count from if things take a while to get started (sorry if tmi!)?? I think my cycle is about 37 days on average. We are trying for 1st intrauterine pregnancy (last was ectopic). Good luck to all

(Have no idea how you clever people update stuff so will not fiddle!!)

Hello! Can i join you? I already have an august baby, and I have few concerns about her being the very youngest in the year; I'd be more worried if she was the oldest, but this is a personal choice! I was willing her to arrive on time!!
I am on CD3 of my first cycle off ttc dc2, have only just come off the Pill, no idea of cycle length as i was lucky enough to conceive dd1 stright away.
good luck to everyone, hope to hear of some bfps soon.

Wishing · 01/11/2008 15:14

i could be joining you girlies soon it seems - still waiting for blood test results but a further update;

well i woke up today happier than i have all week and when i went to loo i hd a brownish discharge again when i wipe, no pain no cramps and doesnt feel like af but there is definatley some bleeding - i have been knicker checking like made since and it has now turned more red and blood like but only when i wipe?? its not actually getting into my knickers, its only when i wipe??

still no pains!?!?!?! OR CRAMPS??!?!?! Normally when i get af i get relly bad cramps an hour before and then full flow, no messing and it last 3 days - this is so wierd and i cant take much more - what is going on!! tears are the only thing thats actually flowing!!

xxx

olivo · 01/11/2008 15:45

fingers really crossed for you, WIshing. I don't want to get your hopes up but I had this with dd, brown then red when wiping, and was implantation bleed. i really hope this is the same for yuo. good luck.

Issy42 · 01/11/2008 18:43

I am not only trying for an August baby, I also was an August baby. It wasn't too bad being one of the youngest - I got a bit of stick at school when Maggie the milk snatcher took away the milk but the three youngest in each class still got it for a few extra months and it was a pain having to lie to get into all my friends' 18th birthday celebrations, but other than that no problems at all. And I only had to go to school on my birthday once (when I lived abroad). I know some people worry that younger children don't do so well at school, but I made it all the way to university. I think it helped that my clever mum wrote me computer games to practice for exams - luckily you can buy these things off the shelf now.

Also means you won't have to pay nursery fees for so long, as someone pointed out on another thread.

Wishing - have responded on another thread but thinking of you.

Sprinkling lots of babydust for BFPs this cycle.

Ilovebeingamummy · 01/11/2008 23:07

bluesatinsash · 02/11/2008 13:00

Hi can I join too?

I had a MC in August and have had two proper periods since so now TTC#2 (have 1 DS, 29 months).

My cycle is normally quite short @ 27 days so am starting to use my OPK's tomorrow.

LMP was 25th Oct so if I get a BPF, EDD would be 1st August!

BTW up here in Scotland, the school year intake is March - Feb so everyone wants a March-October baby!

ok. No more bloody onsessing for me so who would like my ov sticks?

I'll pop them in an envelope. Think there's about 20 maybe. Ebay dip sticks.

I'm still trying but not gonna ov test, just good old fashioned rumpy pumpy on a regular basis.

email me
