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.

I'm getting quite a bit of pain in my hips today the sore you get when your having a really bad AF & it hurts all over that area & a wicked headache. I'm not symptom spotting this month so I'm NOT taking it as a sign but its bloodly horrible. If it is a sign I hope its not a taste of whats to come & it'll get worse before it gets better, but I'd gladly suffer it if it means I get a BFP out of it, don't men have it easy
Any answers suzi?????

Hi everyone

wow ilikeyoursleeves very good news congratulation it's briliant, big hugsss for you.
Issy thank you very much honey but I think my anger is due to my Af arriving, because I think I started spotting a pink staff already, but I am better than 2 days ago thanks dear.
suzi you're very breave and passion, hung on hopfully you'll get BFP soon
smallone good luck with your blood test and big huges.
Smileycat I have crossed everything for you hope its BFP.
bexa good luck for tomorrow fingures and toes crossed for you.
RipMacWinkle good luck with youe 1WW hope you get the BFP at the end fingers crossed.

hey everyone........ still no AF and i still have managed to stay away from testing, i like the way you put it evie, more natural to wait and find out when AF arrives, and it saves cash been feeling really crap today so think AF is going to reappear. will keep you all updated though.

just want to say good luck to everyone testing soon....... and happy BDing to the rest

suzi - i just logged on tempted into testing and saw your message and feel really inspired NOT to test. I just suddenly thought I would in the morning but you repeating what I said really helps - thank you. AF not due until sat or sunday so will probably wait but at least won't test until then at the earliest. thank you again to this thread for keeping me sane!

ha we should name this thread courage lol . well done evie, good luck for testing at the weekend..... baby dust to you.
Keep us posted

Is anyone else taking Pregnacare Conception? Its meant to help produce EWCM - and either it is working or my body is doing very weird things this cycle! Any other reports?

I take them to & get lots of EWCM at the right time, don't know if its to do with the pills or just me

by the way naiive question here but what is preeseed?
should I be taking it?

I'm taking pregnacare classic... I've got another box to go, may well switch to the conception ones if I don't strike it lucky this month.

Can I ask a question please? Do you all feel ov pains? I'm not the best at reading my body, before I had ds I could have sworn I didn't get ov pains, but I'm much more aware of my body now I've been pregnant (I had no idea where my uterus was until I felt implantation pains! - Ok I knew it wasn't in my elbow, but I didn't realise how low it was)

Anyway, the past two cycles I've had noticeable pain about three fingers to the side of the midline on cd 15. It's like a pinching pain, if I didn't know any better it feels a bit like trapped wind but it's too far down and too far forward. Before ds I had worked out I ov'd on cd15 usually, so now I'm starting to think they're ov pains I've been feeling, but I've heard people describe them as like cramps, but mine are definitely pinching pains, and if I jump up and down it feels slightly more tender, like my ovary is bouncing around and doesn't like it

What are your ov pains like? I'd love to know if what I'm feeling is ov pains, or just trapped wind.

DH has gone out to an awards ceremony tonight, won't be back til one am, so I've written off bd'ing tonight, will sneak one in tomorrow morning before work as I don't start til 11am and dh is working from home tomorrow. I hope I haven't missed the boat. When you feel ov pains, do you ov before, during or after the pains? I hope after cos that's better for tomorrow morning's bd

sorry, evie, pre-seed is a gel I think which is supposed to mimic ewcm. I could be wrong though, I haven't used it. I'm sure someone cleverer than me will be along soon

evening all! still so impressed at those of you holding off testing!good luck when you give in
Headfairy, i had horrible pains last month, had to take pain killers. they lasted a day and a half (intermittent, not constantly for 36hrs!!) and hurt more than trapped wind, they felt lower than wind feels too so I assume they were ov pains.
lolly - i started with pregnacare conception at the start of this cycle, i've yet to see any effect. have also started EPO and am doing grapefruit juice (of which i've developped a strange liking !)
hope everyone else is well.

headfairy at your bouncing ovary! I'm afraid I'm no good with pains as I had no pain at all before dd, and hardly any af pain. Now I get serious af pain, have to take superstrong drugs, but I also suffer lots of pelvic pain with my ibs/coeliac/whateveritis so I don't really know whats causing what.

Not doing very well with BDing this month, so far day 6,7,8,10 and 13 I think although I've lost count. Have just propositioned DH and he's not bothered. Don't want to force the issue coz we're supposed to be taking the relaxed approach to ttc but I know when AF arrives I'll kick myself that this time could have done the trick.

Morning
My temp is still up this morning, wishing away the wkend already so that Monday hurries up (what are we like) I'm going to take my temp over the wkend & if it hasn't dropped by Monday morn then I'll test then, but if I get a drop Sun & Mon then I wont waste a test as AF will probably be on her way..good luck to all comming up this wkend & early next wk

I def had OV pain this month felt like you said traped wind & was really uncomfortable for a couple of hrs, kept going to the loo to try & force something out thought that that might ease it but it didn't, it was gone the next morn & my OPK was +ive that afternoon, FF put me down as OVing the day after

hi girls!

how are you all?

im so proud of you all, holding off on the testing front. it saves so much heart ache.

WELL........ af is yet to arrive and i didnt waste a test this morn. im going to be brave and wait til next week.

we need some more good news soon

has anyone ever missed a period and not been pregnant? im miffed as i had horrific pains mid cycle day 10- 14 and then a temp rise a few days later.then i think perhaps i ovulated later and missed my most fertile days, should i of just bd every day? and now im completly over analysing everything.

slap me quick before i hyperventalate.

morning all. Unfortunately I had a temp drop today, as well as cramps so I am out. I feel really gutted and despite my positive words for others I feel pretty blue about it. I will be fine but for now I'll just mope I think. Away to my in laws for the weekend - all I really feel like doing it snugglying up to a hot water bottle and crying but then life does go on as we all know.
You've all been a great support and laugh this past few weeks and I wish everyone still on the list the very best of luck. Baby dust all round and I mean that so very very much. I'll pop by in a week or two when I feel more cheerful!

oh evie im sorry!!! big hugs. i know how your feeling. stay with us on here for next month xxxxxx

I'm so sorry evie just try and relax for a couple of weeks until the next round.

Well 3 DPO so the torture begins again.

I keep telling myself that what will be will be and if I don't manage to conceive again then I have still been blessed with three beautiful babies.

DD was a special gift,completely unexpected after a 21 year gap,but all these things don't stop me from wanting one more baby SO MUCH.

Evie sorry about your temp drop, although looking through FF charts some girls do have a temp drop & are still pg, I know its cluching at straws but don't be too down until you see the red stuff, big glass of wine if it does come, big bar of choc & you'll be ready for next month

Morning everyone, sorry to hear about your temp drop evie. I hope it was just cos your thermometer's broken

Well done at waiting bubblebell, keep it up!

smileycat, it's interesting ff said you were ov'ing the day after those pains. I've had pains since yesterday lunchtime, they're not as strong this morning, but still there. I'm desperately trying to work out when the blazes I have/will ov.

DH went out to an awards ceremony last night and we were supposed to fit a quickie in before work this morning but there's no chance of that, he's unconscious and stinking of booze (and puke, lovely!) Do you think it's worth trying tonight seeing as I'm still feeling what I think are ov pains, allbeit slightly less than they were yesterday. I'm so at dh for coming home so late (4am - after saying he'd be no later than midnight), not feeling that amorous towards him, but I can't help feeling that now is the time. Annoyingly I don't finish work until 10.30pm tonight so it'll probably be too late if I ov'd last night. If I ov today then I should still be in with a chance. Oh for a home scanning machine and a sonographer so I can have a jolly good look and find out what the flip is going on!

You might as well headfairy if you don't you will just think back and wonder! we can just do our best, and try our hardest.
evie so sorry... its rubbish. This rollercoaster of ttc can be really tough. Every month I think, this is going to be the one, and then every month it isn't. It is so hard being patient and trying to stay positive, especially as loads of people around me seem to PG at the drop of a hat.
Good luck to everyone BD'ing, 2ww'ing etc etc...

headfairy I've been looking through past charts of FF for the ones that got a BFP to see when they BD'd to see if mine was timed right & some do time it to the day but others BD upto 4 days before OV & still got pg & didn't bd again during OV, so there is still hope even if you miss the 'so called window'
We BD'd when I thought I OV'd according to my OPK & OV pains but took a night off the next night as my DH was also out & thats the day FF put me down as OVing ????, we did it twice the next day but that was probably too late, I'm hoping that we caught it from my dates..fingers crossed I'll know more in 3 days..good luck to you tonight

Hello
sorry evei that you feel down, but hopfully you'll get through juat take it easy.
I am out as af arrived this afternoon, hope i am the last one and the bloody beatch won't visit anyone elss on this thread and baby dust to all of you.

I'm not religous or anything really in that way but I real spooky thing just happened to me. Last night I was laid in bed & had a few things drifting through my mind & I whispered a sort message to anyone out there if it was possible I'd love a sign to tell me if I'm pg or not, like I say I'm not religous but like many people wonder if anything is up/around us.
Well I was watching a program on tv & switched over when it finished & just caught the end of another program & it finished with the lines (girl with the same name as me) did you know you were pg & she said no & they said well we just did a test for you & its +ive
I nearly fell off the chair...what do you think????spooky hay

OMG smiley!

can you test to find out?? how long do you have to wait before you can test ? wouldnt it be wierd if u were.

i went to a medium... out of curiosity. she said i would have no trouble concieving and would have as many children as i liked.... doesnt feel like no trouble i can tell you

ooooh spooky smileycat... it's gotta be a good omen. Fingers crossed eh? I think I'll tell dh he'd better step up tonight or else I'm still getting odd little pains, but they're more central now so perhaps I've ov'd now. Yesterday and in the early hours this morning (while I was up waiting for dh and worrying myself sick) they were definitely to one side. I'm hoping that's the case in which case I should should be lucky. We did bd on cd 13 and 14, with those ov pains yesterday (cd15) and perhaps I ov'd late on cd15 early on cd16, so if we bd tonight (cd 16) I might be in with a chance.

It's so silly, cos i know you shouldn't set yourself deadlines, but if we don't catch it this month, but do next month then the due date will be almost exactly ds' birthday. I can't work out if that would be sod's law, or if that would be rather cute, two brothers (don't know why, I'm convinced I'd have another boy) with birthdays in the same week. It would make remembering them easy
