Hi. Im actually due for AF July 29 or 30, but Im not planning on testing until August 1. Well, thats the plan at least. I want to make sure M actually LATE before testin. Ive been TTC sinc June 1, 2011, so by test day 14 months. I take prenatal vitamins, mucinex, chart my BBT, and use OPKs, but usually they dont agree with my temps. I use them only cuz my obgyn wants me to. If Im not preg by oct, he will put me on climid. Fingers crossed it doesnt come to that.

Hello, My test day is August 14. We began TTC in November 2011 and took a break in April 2012 because I was stressed. This is our first cycle since our break. This cycle I'm trying to relax, no caffeine, OPK's, Mucinex and maybe Pre-seed.

 

[Jelly.Bean]

I'm currently on CD02, so I'll be testing on August 22.
Have been TTC since June '12. Will only be using OPK's and symptom spotting...Oh and lots of BD'ing

 

[Sabster]

im on CD8 AF due aug 18 so I will be testing that day!!! sign me up!

 

[Iwillbepreggo]

put me down for aug 30

 

[Megan1986]

I will be testing August 1, AF is due July 31. We have been TTC since March 2012 and we are just taking folic acid, nothing else. (besides lots of bd'ing!)

 

[roslyn]

Count me in for Aug 20th pls..

 

[beebuzz29]

Thank you ladies...exciting stories and I hope we all get our BFP's this month!!! Good Luck ladies!!!

 

[mommyhopeful1]

CD2 today. AF due Aug 23, so that will be my day! Hopefully August will be full of babydust and we will all get bfp! Gl to all, and have fun bd!

 

[mommyhopeful1]

Btw, I have been ttc for 3 cycles, heading into 4. We are using opk, mucinex, and preseed (plus bding many times!)

 

[SpotlessMind]

AF is due around the 15th, though I am going to start testing at 6 DPO to keep myself busy (around August 4th). These dates are not exact as this is my first month off the nuvaring, so I will keep you updated as I am using OPK's and temping to detect ovulation. Also using Preseed and SMEP (with BD every other day not just after CD 8) to help ensure we catch the eggie if I release one.

Mucinex? I havent heard of this one.... do tell!

 

[mommyhopeful1]

Mucinex is a mucous thinning agent which makes your nose run when it's stuffy. While ttc, it thins cervical mucous to make it easier for sperm to travel where they need to go, so I read. Figured I'd try it!

 

[Megan1986]

I will remember that for next month if this month doesnt work! Thanks!

 

[pbl_ge]

I'm on cycle#3. Using pre-seed, b6, progesterone, and temping. Not entirely sure when I'll be testing, but sometime around the 22nd or so. Cycles are 30-35 days, and this is cd3.

Really hoping this cycle is the one for all of us!!!

 

[Sabster]

Im 27 and my Dh is 33 and this is our cycle #4 TTC. I figured i shouldn't take anything extra since in still in my twenties and I don't have any reproductive issues. My sister has PCOS, so my doc ordered some blood work for my hormones and the levels were good, so im guessing I dont have it. I am also fairly regular so that's a pretty clear indication that you don't have PCOS. The only issue i see in TTC is that my cycles went from 31-32 days to 35 days as soon as we started the baby factory plans..

I started taking the prenatals and Im going to add the vitamin C.I also started drinking soy milk ( not because of the progesterone) but because I dont drink any milk, so im pretty sure my body is lacking in some nutrients. Im also trying to eat super healthy ( except for that poutine I had on sat). I find the hardest thing to do is to cut the drinking... Its summer and none of my friends have kids so their drinking ratio is WAYYY up high.

HOPE WE ALL GET SOME BFP in August!! exciting!!!

Wow! The day I am predicted to ovulate is the exact day of the full moon this coming month, August 1st! Hopefully it will send me a little extra baby dust

 

[nevernormal]

I'm on cycle 14, month 24 of TTC. Using clomid this cycle (my 3rd clomid cycle this year), and test date will be August 9th if AF hasn't shown her face by then.
