Ladies, sorry I've not been posting. I've been catching up on all the posts. It does sound like an exciting month is ahead for all. This is my first time on opks. I got a positive CD 12&13. We've been BD 12,13,14 with a rest tomorrow then one again on 16. So as far as making our chances as good as possible, I think we've done that and I'm really hoping that we are successful. Thing is, we've never tried like this before and whilst I'm excited I'm also apprehensive as we've had the time to get on it with BD And opk testing - but it may still not work. I dunno, it's weird this whole thing. Spend my entire 20s trying not to get pregnant and now trying everything to! I know it's early days for us yet so at least we are trying now.

Sorry for those who have people announcing babies all around them. I had that on my hen do last year, 2 pregnant and 4 with babies. I was the odd one out, not that I was broody but it felt weird thag friends were somewhere I wasn't.

So best of luck to all of you,,I have finger crossed for everyone and am already grateful for your help when I start cymtpm spotting in the tww. I really am a nightmare at that. Boobs sore today and cramps and I'm already driving myself mad

Morning.....I do have a lots of negative energy around I think, I am in my fertility window and my husband isn't well , he got labyrinthitis and when we tried to BD he wasn't successful. I don't know what it is going on but I feel I am giving up for this month as I am working so much and we don't even have time to talk and now this. I don't know what to do, seems everything is against.
Sorry to be the moaning one, I don't know what is going on iny life and with myself, all going in the wrong direction and it is so hard to be positive....I am feeling very down and this isn't like me at all.

It's such a contrast isn't it; on here, if someone anounces a bfp I feel so happy for them and excited. Yet, in the world of friends, family and work colleagues, I just feel jealous!! Strange how your mind works. I hate feeling jealous, trying to feel happy for everyone who conceives because you never know if they have had a struggle too.

Anyway, last day of August, let's all leave any negativity in this month and from tomorrow we will all be happy and excited little mummies to be happy Fri-YAY girlies!

Hey I know exactly how you feel as I feel like this quite often. I am sorry your husband wasn’t able to perform was it your peak fertility day? I know that I am not pregnant once more so yes I feel like giving up too. But let your feeling come through feel sad if you need to as I am sure you will feel better again x

Crumble - so sorry your still not feeling great and your husband also isn’t well. Just giving my opinion here and don’t want you to take it the wrong way but maybe you should have a couple of months out. Try and relax and get yourself back to your normal self. It’s them times when your really not putting pressure on yourself that you can conceive. It happened to my SIL. Look after yourself x

Hlouise you definitely made a good point there. I felt like I was literally dreaming all night about testing and telling myself I can’t do it before Saturday otherwise you guys will tell
Me off haha.
Love your positivity and happy Friday hun xx

Yes we dtd last night CD6 (also did it on CD3 as I thought AF had finished, but it come back the next morning), I just really can't see how ov can be this soon though? x

Got a little bit of a headache today, twinges and a dull ache on the right side again of my stomach. Boobs still heavy and sore. Apart from that nothing really else to report. These last few days that i have to wait are going to really drag xx

UPDATE: forgot to mention i have a painful spot in the middle of my chin too. It actually hurts to touch!

I suppose anything can happen but DTD again tonight so your covered, would hate for you to miss your surge if it really was you ovulating early xx

 

[EmmaN27]

Checked my ttc journal for last cycle, I said on CD5 that I was getting twinges, tested with OPK and it was a very feint line, tested again on CD7 and very feint line again, so I know this is defo different this cycle for me, just can't believe I've got a positive on CD7. Had some twinges on and off and boobs feel a little bit achey. soooooo confused by this! x

I really wish you was temping too because it would have indicated if you are about to ovulate or you have xx

Emma i really want to and i even had a dream about testing but was telling myself not to because we all made a pact in this thread we wasn't allowed hahaha!
