June Bus anyone?!

Me and DH just had another discussion about it, saying he couldn't go through it again, the sleepless nights etc etc and I just blew up and told him to go and get the bloody snip then if he's so adamant he doesn't want another baby.

He then said he couldn't do that as he couldn't say for definite he doesn't want another?! WTF? I said, "Well that's exactly what you have just said isn't it?"

He then started on about how he knows that I want another one and how I'd resent him if it didn't happen so I asked him if he'd be happy to have a baby and bring up a child that he didn't even want?

He then said, "Well it wouldn't be like that because of course I'd want it."

Does anybody else have a clue what he's on about because it's all as clear as mud to me. Talk about contradicting himself...

Sorry about the bfns. I still think it's early days. Could the spotting be implantation writer? Brown/orange is more indicative of that than af. No symptoms here either. I don't feel like it's worked for me this month so I'm just getting hopeful for the rest of you.
My DH is also reluctant. He wasn't particularly bothered about children in the first place but knew I was. Then he had depression after dd was born and I know he's dreading that happening again. He sees the benefits of her not being an only child though so has agreed to it though.

Thanks guys. When I miscarried in March by DH was really upset, he even cried, so I know that he must have wanted that DC. I know deep down though he's only doing it for me, he would be perfectly happy with just DS.

Yesterday he found one of the receipts of the HPT I had bought and he did seem a little bit excited if I'm honest. I really downplayed it though and told him I didn't think I was pregnant and the test had been on sale so I'd bought it in order to confirm I wasn't pregnant as opposed to confirming I was. He seemed to buy it. He asked me if I had taken a test and I lied and said I hadn't

There's been no more orange/brown residue on the toilet paper this morning so that's really odd, God knows what that was about yesterday. I never usually get sporting before my period though, I usually just wake up to a bright red flood! Sorry for the TMI. I'm feeling a bit crampy though.

The good news is that I have ran out of IC tests so I can't even POAS if I wanted to!

Sorry writer. If it makes you feel any better, I just had a BFN too. Thought I could make out the smallest hint of colour where the second line should be but looked in the light and no, nothing. Just my madness. We will have to join each other on the July bus :)

writer you still have a couple of more days to test. Also I don't know if it makes you feel any better but my dp is only trying for a 2nd because I want one. He has never wanted a second. He is terrified of me getting pregnant. But is doing it for me and for DC.
Just wanted to show you are not alone in having a reluctant dp xx

11 dpo today

We had a really bad night with DS last night (2y 2m) and my DH doesn't cope well with bedtime shenanigans and he got quite angry at the situation last night and ranted, "Why on earth would you want to go through all this again?! Why?! I just don't bloody get it!"

I do worry that if it doesn't happen this month then DH will change his stance in terms of his current "if it happens, it happens" state of mind. He was even talking about vasectomies the day before yesterday and passing comments about why only having one child is preferable.

How many days are you?

Sorry Writer, we were so rooting for you.

Another BFN this morning with FMU.

I've now definitely accepted yesterday's was just a dodgy test and I need to pick myself back up

Wow I hadn't been on for a few days and so many posts to catch up on, very busy bus!!
I'm on cd16. Think I ovulated yesterday (or Tues). I rarely have signs of ovulation except very bad headaches 2-3 days before ov. Had positive (darker than control line) ov test on Tues and one yesterday which was lighter but still almost as dark as control line. ETD 14th June
It worries me that I don't have much EWCM because that's what the swimmers use to get up to the egg right?
writer sorry about AF

I agree with sleepy.

Sorry Writer :( YY not out yet - and if you are at least you can save the tests and you'll have them on hand for next time.

Sorry to hear that writer xxx

Sorry to hear that writer! I was hoping for some BFP on this bus!
I think I'll have to hop on July bus now, I don't seem to have ovulated and now that this my 6th month, I think I might take myself off to doctors with all my data!

Aww no writer

Not out until the witch appears so don't give up hope just yet xx

Definite BFN tonight

Also, when I wiped after having my wee there was loads of the orangey/brown staining on the tissue again, far, far more than I had the other day.

I'm guessing I had a dodgy test earlier and now my period is on its way

Ah right, thanks xx

I don't think there is much difference just the way it's used to test. The enclosed ones are usually designed for mid stream and the strips you have to collect the wee in a container and dip the strip in x

I had to go back and read 2 pages of comments! Let us know how you got on writer!

What's the difference between test strips and enclosed ones? I gave in this afternoon and bought tests while buying dinner I think I'll test first thing in the morning x

I've noticed that over the last 2-3 days breast feeding DS feels really uncomfortable and my left one in general just feels different somehow.

I need a wee, have done for ages, and I'm holding it in, and will do for another few hours, so I can do another IC before bed.

I'm not using my FRER or CB tests until I get an obvious squinter

Thanks Laura, good to know

WibbleWobble stupid phone

I had one achy boob for a few days WibbleWibble
It's the most random symptom eh

Omg - love the POAS squinter drama- fingers crossed for tomorrow writer! I'm 9 or 10 DPO... I've had one sore boob for a week or so which is freaking me out a little.... Why only one? I hope it's because it's the one I had really bad mastitis in 3x when feeding DS... Anyone else get not symmetrical symptoms?

can I ask what (if any) physical symptoms of ovulation you all get? I should be ovulating this week but had nothing but negative opks so far. I had a cycle off pill about 6 months ago and definitely knew when ovulating, had a sharp stich like pain and plenty of EWCM. This time however I had a little bit of EWCM on Tues but not much and nothing since. Also on tues I had a bit of stomach cramps but they felt more like period cramps than the stitch pain I had last time and they have gone now! Done a opk every day since Monday and all been negative. Not really sure what to think?!
