Woop woop. Hi all.

I'm going to buy a day ticket for this bus but probably join you all with a season pass from next month.

I got married to my hubby a month ago to the day and so this is month 1 of our journey TTC. Not yet had AF however would be surprised if we are successful in our first month.

Look forward to sharing some boiled sweets with you on the journey.

Do what I say and not what I do crunchy - don't pee on any sticks until Wednesday. Give the HCG a chance to double before you test again

I've just applied for a promotion because I'm not booking in my maternity leave anytime soon

So sorry Carrot Flowers

Sorry to hear that Carrot.

CD25 here. Was away and busy over the weekend so been reading but not posting. I'd been feeling decreasingly symptomy but have swung back to PMSy.

Got 4 more days of work.

Snowflake16 · 13/07/2015 17:18

Just catching up, so sorry carrot. FX for August.

PallasCat · 13/07/2015 16:46

Flowers carrot and crunchy Flowers
Rubbish news.
Thanks birchy and carrot for revving up the new bus!
CD20 here and nowt to report.

Marmite my temp went up on Saturday, down by 0,1 yesterday and today it is constant. Opk is - today so either it happened on Sat or not at all.
Sorry Carrot for this experience.

For when this bus fills up and/or people move on to August birchy has set up a hybrid summer bus to see us through for a while

Sometimes you miss a period (anovulatory cycle I think) just because. They might do blood tests to check for HCG that way

Welcome though.

Can I join you please? This was my first cylce of SME, so still getting the hang of it.

Strangely, I'm now 11 days late for AF, but am resolutely testing negative. With DS we tried one cylce and the first test was a BFP so I'm a bit concerned about what might be going on.

I've just made a GP appointment - any idea what I should expect, though?

In the top right of the page on Google docs there should be a blue box with "share" on in and a image of two links. Click on that and you'll get a pop up. In the top section of the pop up there will be a grey box with text that starts with "off" or "anyone with this link can...". Click on that and choose "anyone with this link can view". Then just copy and paste the link below in the thread header here

Thanks carrot - any advice on how to share the stats as you have done?

marmitemofo · 13/07/2015 13:50

sorry to hear that carrot Flowers Flowers

fx for everyone testing over the next few days.

Raluca have you had temp rise yet? I think it took a couple of days for my temp to rise after my +opk and temps rose another two days in a row after that so I think the temp rise can be more gradual than you'd expect

Vikkijayne2507 · 13/07/2015 13:47

Been catching up with everything sorry carrot.
Sorry for everyone who was caught by AF.
I've got a poorly baby whose driving me a bit nuts whingeing. I still have no AF no idea if I'm oving. Looks like it'll be at least august till I get an answer of some kind

Temperatures rising, patience's getting low, according to our sources, the Summer Bus is the place to go...

To the tune of "It's Raining Men"

Maybe - although Suz was complaining about earworms

I'm totally happy to hand over my bus keys and take a back seat birchy. Do you want me to add you as an editor to the July stats so you can copy over the details for those moving to August? I think you sent me a sharing request (initials GC?) so I can add you easily

OP posts:
3Princes99 · 13/07/2015 12:51

Sorry to hear that carrot Hmm
Life is very very cruel giving you a bfp then af showing up

I had a chemical in May and my next ovulation was a big one! I bled during ovulation which I have never done ever!

Fx August is your month ????

birchygoo · 13/07/2015 12:39

carrot im so so sorry. TTC is so shit. I havent started the next bus yet as I went out last night (wriggling in agony today again with af). I don't want to take over bus driver from you as you have been doing such a fab job. I was just hoping you could hand in your notice as bus driver this month!
