Just noticed we don't have an august thread yet so here we go:)
Best of luck to everyone who is attempting, 2wwing and getting ready for later attempts xxxx
Afm, I'm laid on the floor typing whilst trying to do some planks lol, every little helps I suppose :bigsmile:
Good luck to all TTC in August.
I am watching the Olympics swimming at the min, but going to lift my weights soon.
Nice multi-tasking ELP :)
Good luck ladies!!
Gosh, I haven't posted for so long!
Good luck to everyone trying this month! :)
Hi girls just to say Im a mum to 3 boys and have NEVER in my life exercised or lifted weights or anything even remotely like that - Im naturally very slim and the most exercise i do is walking upstairs to bed - I sat at a computer screen 10 hours a day then went home ate, watched tele and slept. Ive never played sport or been physically active so I really am not sure that all this muscle thing is that important. I definately think DIET is the most important thing but if the exercise makes you feel better thats great but for those that dont do it please dont feel bad. xxx Good luck to you all. xxxx
Bec how are you feeling, wow 10 weeks alreadyQuote:

I'm glad you chimed in to share your experience - I just don't want anyone to use it as an excuse not to exercise for blue because I really do feel it's the best way to TTC a boy.Quote:

29th from 2000 is fantastic! You see your naturally boy material lol, I would probably have been around 500th! Its the boobs! They knock me sidewards with everystep lol :bigsmile:
How we all doing? I've had some real sweety and crap white bread binge days, not good for me. I have to get a little more focused again, I'm wondering if it may be a sign of af??
holy cow- i agree 29th! that's incredible, i def. couldn't do it
Actually, to put it bluntly, terrible! Never in my life have I been so exhausted. I have no energy at all. Hopefully in a few weeks it will ease up a bit and I can enjoy being pregnant more!Quote:

I'm doing alright, it seems like this pregnancy is dragging. I know what you mean about the exhaustion, the first 12 weeks were brutal for me I would fall alseep sitting up at work I was so tired, I was never that tired during my first two pregnancies.Quote:

Good luck with your sway letiha
Sounds promising, good luck PearlQuote:

Double check the test later on today pearls, just to make sure:)
Definitely negativeQuote:

Got AF this morning and I am OK about it (It was a long shot anyway). It means that in Sept/Oct we can start TTC properly. More attempts at the right time and pre-seed and fingers crossed the triathalon and bike race (less then two weeks apart from each other) won't damage DH's swimmers to much.
I will be away from DH for 10 days starting on CD8 this month so Aug is out.
Wow ladies, it's super quiet over here! Just checking in to wish all the ladies ttc good luck and blue dust!
Hi All,
ON CD 4 of my second back since pp. First cycle was 32 days so hopefully this one is that or a bit shorter. I don;t think I ovulated though because my cm didn't coincide with temps. Plus I only had 8 high temps before AF, but that could have been short luteal phase. I had consistent cm the whole time though, never tried up and never really ewcm, but I don;t always get that anyway.
Anyone else have cm their whole cycle and ovulate?
I had tons of cm after I started taking fish oil. It got way worse around ovulation but I had lots the whole month through.
How's everyone going? x
Hi n710,
Since I started with the fish oil and EPO I have loads of CM all cycle. My first cycle off the pill I didn't have any EWCM but had a lot of CM all cycle. the past two cycles I still have a lot of CM all cycle long but am also getting lots of EWCM for 3 days. I am pretty sure that I ovulated 1st and 3rd cycles due to middlesmertz but I have never temp'ed
How are you TTC5. are you counting down the days yet.
I am back in the game for this month again after a supprise visit from DH while I was away last week. DTD twice on the day B4 and the day of ovulation. No preseed as I hadn't packed it but as I said above I had loads of EWCM. So hopefully DH's swimmers were in full working order after his Triathalon
I'm 3cm dialated and 50% effaced now :)
EXCITING!!!! I can't wait until it's time!!! :DQuote:

So exciting! Not long now...don't forget to put your list of names in your hospital bag, I ALWAYS forget it and hubby gets mad when I send home for it because he doesn't want to "miss" anything!Quote:

Thats an awesome surprise :)Quote:

Yeah TTC5-sounds like your body is doing a lot of the work ahead of time. Hopefully it's a nice smooth labor
Oh Pearl, that would be so cool! How long until you can test?
I will be on Hols when AF is due, so I probably won't test until we are home on the 15th. I didn't get a BFP with DD until a few days after AF was due. I still will be packing the tampax but I will also be staying away from the pool side cocktails.
Last month I just felt like I was pregnant right from the off but I wasn't. This month I just feel like normal, Like I wasn't even TTC and I am happy to wait and see.
