The July Bus

Hi ladies, how are we all today?

If anyone is interested you can see my charts on FF here

Anyone else like to share?

herbalist has said to do a pregnancy test tomorrow to be sure, but that if i'm not Pg that the bleeding is a sign that my hormones have had a kick up the backside. She expects my cycle to come down to 25-30 days and that i should ovulate this cycle with the mix she has given me.
We had a long conversation about how my body was tense and i'm noticing changes that show i'm more relaxed. Have also had a migraine today, my migraines are hormonal and i haven't had one for a while so have definitely had a hormone shift in the last couple of days.

have added you in to the list sillybillymummy
I've lost a couple of months ttc when DP was away for work but he's changed jobs now so it's no longer a problem we have.....but i do know how frustrating it is.

Hey Ladies..
Moving over from July bus, but haven't got much free time in the next few weeks - but if next person can add me, would be really grateful
Don't think this will be a lucky bus for me, as i am away from DH for a week when its SWI-ing time. Boo

Good luck ladies

Hello Izzy welcome aboard. mmm wine and smoked salmon. Remind me why we're ttc? So many yummy things you have to give up.

Hope everyone has enjoyed their weekend and is ready for the week ahead. We had fab weather here today. I spent the afternoon weeding the garden, then in a fit of being incredibly virtuous, actually cleaned my bike and hopefully sorted out a clunky noise it was making.

Hello ladygonegaga - sorry to hear about your mc, it is rubbish isn't it, but I've found so much easier being in touch with other ladies on here who have been through the same thing. There are some amazing people on here

getdown - unfortunately I seem to have a short luteal phase so not expecting ov until about 23rd Oct (cd18). However I am religiously taking the b6 and also going to see an acupuncturist for the first time next week. She was fairly confident she could help with the LP so fx ov might happen earlier, or LP might be longer. We'll see.

Hi there Izzy

Sorry to hear about your MC.

So around 20th Oct is your possible ov. date?

Welcome Izzy. Looks good to me. Think there are a few of us post-mc ladies so hopefully we can support each other through the mentalness. A July baby would be lovely, my DS was May and one I lost was due April so think I only do spring/summer babies!

Hello - can I join? I haven't been on a bus before but it seems like a friendly place to be!

Cool thanks lady!

I found my symptoms were less severe with my last pregnancy (that I went on to miscarry at 7 weeks) than with my first that went on to be DS. But loads of people say every pregnancy is different anyway e.g. nauseous for one, no nausea for another.

Hi getdown!
Yep grapefruit juice is supposed to make a more.. Ahem .. Welcome environment for the sperm you see!
I'm sortof on the tww but there is only the tiniest of tiny chances as me and do were really ill during OV.
So I am trying to not get excited and just wait for AF and then really go for it next month.

Does anyone get the same symptoms for every pregnancy?

I had a mc at five weeks two years ago and I felt like hell on earth, had to have a nap at 5-7 pm every night, nipples that felt like they'd been sunburned and nauseos from 8pm until 1am every day!
I don't know, I just feel like I won't think I'm pg again until I get those exact symptoms if you know what I mean!

That's useful to know about the end part getdown. Although we're going to Paris for 1/2 term, so I could have done with this cycle being either v long or v short, so as not to have a period in the middle of the holiday! Having said that, here's hoping & praying that none of us have a period this month!

excellent news eskarina we can all cheer each other along the 2ww!

Yes, I testify it is possible to get a BFP 6 days between SWI and OV. Maybe DH has super-sperm

The end part of your cycle (from ov to period) is always roughly the same length eskarina - so regardless of variation in cycle length, you should expect your period (or BFP) two weeks from ov date.

I've jst put this month's chart into FF. If I've done it right then it reckons I ovulated yesterday. We managed SWI on sunday, (prob too early, but am encouraged by getdown's tale of conceiving 6 days after SWI!), Wed and yesterday. So it's possible. I guess I'm now on the 2ww too. But that gives me a 28 day cycle, and they can be anything from 28 to 35.

Also, I started spotting on CD20 last time, and had odd bits of bleeding most days until a more proper period arrived on CD34, although it was quite light and annoying, and lasted ages before it settled down again. I don't want all that messing about this time!

Sorry to hear you had PND, but at least you know what you are looking out for now and know how to deal with it/you will come out the other side. And often people don't have it again. My DS is 2 and 4 months now. I had to get out of a bad relationship with his Dad and into another one with my DP now (who is lovely) so been a bit of a journey for us too. Plus had the mc in September so going to be sh*tting myself as well if I do get pg again. But exciting too!

thanks LadyGoneGaga! we can keep each other company on the wait.

So, you ov'd on the thurs, and BD'd on mon, tues, wed?

I ov'd on the wed, and BD'd on the sun and tues.

So I think we are both in with a chance. Exciting!

Also nerve wracking. It's been quite a journey for us (I was hopitalised with severe PND first time round). For quite a while I didn't think I'd have another, but DD (who is 2 and 10 months) is such a joy now, I am totally smitten!

Here's hoping....

I love FF, nice to have it confirm things for you! So you ovved day before me and can be my companion in mentalness that is the 2 week wait. Good luck!

Queenrollo Good luck to you too, let us know how it goes. The other thought I had was this could be an ovulation bleed. So make sure you do lots of SWI as well as pee-ing just in case.

yay 36.87 today so according to FF I ov'd on wednesday!

I think I am in the 2 week wait ladies! Eeek!

I keep the paper chart on my bedside table and just put it on when I get up. I tend to remember the temp, but my thermometer also stores the last reading. I've joined FF so will see if I can manage to get to grips with it.

queenrollo am keeping fingers crossed for you

at these people not knowing their thermometer stores the last reading! All those mornings you could have rolled over and gone back to sleep!

I have joined FF, and am putting on my previous charts.

It doesn't know what to make of my current chart Hasn't detected ov yet, even though I think (hope) I have...

i haven't got one to pee on! and i live in the middle of no-where, so will have to wait until tomorrow to go out and buy one.
I do know that i'm ok to be taking my herbal stuff even if i am PG though as we talked about that when she was deciding what to give me.
I refuse to get my hopes up.......

Queenrollo pee on a stick!!!! You need to know!

Doh, I didn't know that my thermometer stored the last temperature getdown.

well......

my period was much, much lighter than usual but i'd had a BFN the day before it started. I had wondered if i'd OV'd very late and it was too early to test, but then AF turned up the next day so that answered that. But with the light AF, very tender boobs and now this bleeding i'm wondering. I feel absolutely shattered too.

I feel frustrated. Going to see what my herbalist says......she'll probably advise me to do a PG test, and go and see my GP.....

Ah I didn't know that about grapfruit juice.

Hmm, bleeding on day 9? You've done a test I presume?
