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.

evie so sorry your feeling crap... but please stick around on this thread, i would love to hear when you get your good news aka your BFP. Things seem crap just now but they will get better when you start again for this cycle.{{{hugs}}}

Just updating the list, I hope I've got everyone right...

August BFPs....so far

Gah, just had a feel about while in the loo, cervix feels like it's hardening and dropping back down. Yesterday I practically had to have my arm up my fanjo to reach it Didn't want to have to be on the 2ww just yet... oh well, so it begins.....

head wow! how can you tell where you are in your cycle by feeling your cervix could i tell if af was due by having a feel?... im intrigued

I'm no expert, I was browsing ff last night. When you're at your most fertile, ie the days before you ov and the day you ov, your cervix goes soft and raises up so you can hardly reach it. This is to allow sperm through. Once you have passed your fertile window it hardens and drops back down again. I don't think you can tell if af is on its way, or you're pg or anything else, but it is useful for identifying your fertile period if you're lacking any other signs.

o i c! its def worth a go next month. i cocked up my days this month so not a chance for me. i hope you got lucky tho. i have read up on natural methods of gender selection and if you bd up to the day before you ov u are more likely to have a girl.so you could still get a BFP in 2ws

do you know if AF starts in the day or afternoon or evening is that cd1 or is the next day cd1?

I always thought if you bd before ov you're more likely to have a boy. Oh it's all so unscientific, who knows? I'll take what I'm given

I keep trying to think what happened with ds... I know the last cd1 was 15th December, and I always assumed I ov'd on cd 15, I had very strong implantation pains on New Years Eve, not easy to forget as my sister and I were getting really excited. So that means I ov'd on Dec 29th, and I know for a fact that we bd'd on Boxing day, 27th, 28th, 29th and 30th. I'm not sure what to make of that, whether it's better to get most of your bd'ing in before you ov, 'twas really handy it all happening over Christmas and New Year cos I remembered it all (didn't bd on Christmas day, far to full of turkey, didn't bd on New Years Eve as was really tired and didn't get to bed until 4am - stayed up late chatting to sis), if we don't get lucky this month, could well repeat the experience next month. I think it was easier to bd loads over Christmas as we were both off work and feeling relaxed and happy.

As for cd1... I always assume if full flow starts after 6pm then the next day is cd1, even if you've had some spotting before. CD1 should be the first full day of full flow.

thanks head... yeah.. i just want a baby dont care if its pink or blue.

i know when i concieved both my ds' that i just had sex everyday until i realised i felt pregnant and i was. didnt know you could chart your bbt and such like. im too tired to do that now and dh has a different job so he is working more.

does having sex everyday lower the quality of the sperm??

so many questions sorry

I can't do bbt measuring as I do shift work. I know it's possible if you do shift work, but it's just too much faff.. I'm so lazy

I don't know if sex every day lowers the quality of sperm, I know the sperm count is slightly lowered, but I've always worked on the assumption that they're all nice and fresh, so what they lack in numbers they make up for in enthusiasm

bubble I do my temp so I should know by Sunday if I'm in with a chance as it will drop, might even get a drop tomorrow if she is on her way. If I get a rise on Sat or Sun I'll test on Sun if not I'll hold out till Monday morning after I've taken my temp that way I wont waste a test if it takes a dive downward

They say you shouldn't leave sperm in the sack for more than 10 days or they become pickled & swim in every direction & if you bonk everyday the count will be lower but I think the quality remains the same..its just having the energy to bd for a wk not stop

bubble if you're going to check your cervix next month you need to start at the beginning of the month, when AF is finished so that you know what it feels like at different stages of the month that way you will know when its SHOW Soft High & open thats the time you are most fertile, along with EWMC etc

Hey girls, so happy for the bfp's-look after yourselves ladies. Did a hpt due to my peculiar af and got a predictable bfn. prob gonna see gp about my v light af's,hope its not to do with my age! Maybe see some of the other bfn's on Sept thread! Fingers crossed for all the girls due to test. x

Hi all,

Had a shorter cycle this time, 27 days and AF arrived Monday, boo. So am on CD5 but could still be on for end of August.

Good luck to you all xx

aideesmums and 2manychips

Hello all

sorry to hear that af got you aideesmum and 2manychips. I think I also read on another thread that yellowflowers was out for this month (but don't quote me on that)

What about the other girls at the top of the list? beckyjamie, Littlecheese, LJ29 and bexaa or even suzibhoy??

Here's hoping we get some more good news for the weekend.

There still seems like loads of people in front of me in the list - can only mean more BFPs. Right?

I want to find out if LJ's marathon bd'ing worked

Hi Smileycat - that does sound spooky - fingers crossed its the right kind of sign!

I had read that you'll have better luck bd-ing every OTHER day because the numbers and quality improve significantly in 48 hours over 24.

AF hasn't arrived yet - think I'll wait another day before testing just in case she's taking her sweet time!

Hope there are loads of BFPs this weekend!

I was always told that too babybump2b, but both times I've got pg it's been after bding every day for four consecutive days over my fertile period. It's what works for us.

sorry to hear about the AFs arriving. Can'r rememebr who asked but yes, apparently if AF arrives in the evening, yuo count the next day as CD1, that's why I changed mine. i am having a few problems with temping, partly due to my erratic sleeping and being unwell, but I hope as I am doing OPKs and CM spotting as well, i'll still have a chance of hitting my fertile time.
does anyone know if its usual to see a very faint line on an OPK all the time? I know its only considered positive if its as dark or darker than the test line. DO you have some LH in you all the time?

olivo lh is always in your body opks just detect the surge.... that was on ff somewhere

bex im on a sept thread too but im gonna stay here aswell coz ur all so luvly

Hi all,

Just wanted to wish loads of good luck to everyone who is due to test! And big hugs for those who have been caught up by AF this month, hopefully next month with be your month.

August BFPs....so far
Bluesatinsash SpecialOffer Noodle12 BellaHarr Ilickyoursleeves

morning - i'm with you on the sleep deprived front Rip! we're off to town in a bit, going to give dh a sleep on as today is cd8 and we're starting the bding in earnest today! the things you have to do!!
Bexxa, there is a sept thread, but some of us are staying on this one or both, so why not stay?
wishing, permission to symptom spot granted! - good luck, may the baby dust be with you!
I have to say,i didnt think that bding time would come around so quickly, time since AF arrived seems to have gone fast. probably due to the support here;it really helps to be able to share things on here.
anyone testing this weekend? good luck if so!

Morning ladies
My temp is still up this morning but its at about the same temp as last month so doesn't mean alot at the mo. It started to fall from tomorrow last month so fingers crossed for me that its different in the morning
hows everyone else doing
