Emergency bus for August! Penis dragons welcome, summer loving continued!

Cracking stats Phryn, sorry, x-post. Thanks for sharing!! Love the fact you probably caught the bean on the double shag day - good effort!!!

This board really is amazing - I have to say I've never been so nervous in anticipation for news on a potential line (spinning) and vicariously living the joy of a super efficient latest cycle (kitty) for two women I have never met. Nuts I know the rhythms and inner workings of your wombs to this extent but no idea what you look like or what your real names are! So cool isn't it. He he.

Beach parties are the way forward spinning! Thai bank hol weekend so we aren't back to work til Weds. In fact it's Thai mothers' day tomorrow! Will get myself soused in rum for that one... Lol...

Someone asked about stats for my BFP...

It was cycle four since TTC. This cycle I'd tried to get the balance between not paying much attention and focusing too much on symptoms (so my info isn't brilliant!)

I used IC OPKs and caught a surge on CD11 (I think). I've had some long cycles so we tried to dtd every other day for as long as we could.

We DTD ON CD 9, 11, 13 (twice ), 15, 17, 21, 25, 28. Elevated hips on a pillow afterwards and tried to stay horizontal for about 15 mins afterwards. Can't remember when but I felt some odd pulling sensations and a fanjo lighting strike and I wondered if they were implantation pains (can't remember which days). Noticed more CM than usual for longer. Increased thirst, but possibly due to hot weather.

Sorry it's not much but I hope it's helpful for someone.

Chandler your plan for a cycle routine sounds awesome. Really hope you don't have to do too many rotations before you get a BFP.

Spinning defo agree that you're not out yet. Hope you can surf the waiting and uncertainty.

Haha and yes kitty, must stay with the test and not wander off

Hmmm we'll see, I don't feel pregnant at all and I always pee loads when I am, it's my first sign. So I will assume that I'm not unless a frer tells me differently

Ooh, it's a tricky one. Normally I'd say anything after 10 minutes has to be discarded. But I know any line gets our hopes up. Next time, stay with the stick and time it

The ic's are more sensitive spinning and if you've had late implantation a frer might not show positive yet fingers crossed

Thank you ladies

I've had a repeat of yesterday.....I pee'd in a cup first thing and dipped the frer and an ic. I put the frer in my pocket and left the ic in the bathroom. Returned to the bathroom 20 mins later for a shower and there is a faint line on the ic. Very strange, I don't know what to think.....just have to carry on poas I guess, 12dpo today.

Spinning it's not over yet! Frers are actually less sensitive than superdrug tests, maybe get one of those and try again in a couple of days? Fx for you xxxx

Jeez spinning how heart wrenching for you. To be so close is an extra blow. I was really really hoping this was it for you So sorry you had a rough night too-have a gentle me day today, if you can. (((hugs)))

I hope this is a good pre-ov sign for you too English my lovely. May baby here we come...

Morning all

spinning grr to the bfn. still you're not out yet so fx.

kitty glad you are having a good cycle!

katy sorry you are a bit down. It's so hard sometimes.

english I hope you get your fixed in good time.

I'm 1dpo (I think) so into the 2ww gaaaaaah! though I had a lot of cramping on my right this morning. DH thinks we should dtd tonight just in case (even though we are both knackered) . We'll give it a go I think just in case! Now that we've made the decision to go to a clinic for testing if no joy this month I feel surprisingly relaxed about it all. Though give it a few days and I'll be obsessing over every twinge, vein and nauseous feeling :).

Yay for the high temps Kitty!

Genuinely gutted for you Spinning!! I so want you to get a BFP soon.

Welcome Camry

First flashing smiley today, cd13. Hope i don't get loads before it peaks. Positive OPK before cd16 would be nice!

Katy, sorry your feeling down, it's frustrating when they're not up for it

Kitty, yay for high temp.

Chandler, I'm loving the rum and coconut beach party.....can I join you? In fact I think we should have a penis dragon beach party!

Thanks Linda, haha that's what dp says! I say we need to dtd more

Hi ladies, AF came few days ago so I am out this month, roll on cycle 4, I will be joining September bus soon.

Fx there is lots of BFPs for you who are still on August waiting list xx

Aw spinning I'm gutted for you but your not out yet. Please don't lose hope, it will happen when the time is right xxx

Morning......it's a BFN for me on a frer this morning it must have been an Evap line yesterday which sucks!!! Had a cry on dp after his 12 hour shift last night, he wasn't very understanding and I've woken up with puffy eyes.....not a good look.

Anyway big thanks to all of those rooting for me, I love you ladies, you help keep me sane in this mad process......onwards to Sep bus soon.

Love the plan chandlers.
Kitty and Mazzf hope u have Brighton babies to.
Mrs g I have lots of abdomen aches and it can't b af as only cd 16.
Here in Katybear house we haven't managed to dtd since fri hubbie just not on 4 it we tried but to no avail . Sad as Ovia had fertility a 10. Back to 9.5 this morning so little sad will try again tonight. Why is it so hard

Welcome camry :)

Ooh, mzzzf Maybe we will both get Brighton babies as I was there too this wknd

Welcome Camry!
Ahhhh kitty fx for you

Hi camry Hope those symptoms mean you are upduffed!

I have no symptoms other than excellent high temps that show I ovulated! None of this slow staircase rise either...temps jumping straight up .2+ places straight away and rising further since Friday. V happy

Hi camry

Welcome! :)

I love a symptom spotter! It's my favorite hobby for half the month.

Hi all, I'm proper late to this bus but wonder if I can hop on board cheekily? First ever bus and post here but I've been lurking for what seems an age and we're officially TTC now - ahhhh

I'm 29, TTC1 and on first cycle - AF/BFP due 20th ish August.

Already symptom spotting (not sure it's biologically possible!) with my list consisting of: back pain, stomach twinges, lots of saliva, tiredness, excess urination and I think I may have mauled my tits into them hurting...

Reading that back I could probably add a touch of delusion to my list!

Blue I'm so sorry about af's arrival - we all had very crossed fingers for you. However, with the ov you are a giant step closer! Hope you are okay - relax and enjoy yourself!

Chandlers That sounds like a great plan. Hopefully you don't get to do it much though :)

Has anyone got any fun random symptoms that we can spot?

My hair still feels greasy (despite feeling squeaky clean) and the left side of my left boob hurts. Only 5dpo today, so hoping soon it will have worked along to be all of my boobs to make SYMPTOM! :)

Who is next to test?
