July Bus

Hi all, I'm starting the July Bus so that we can all cheer each other along even in the very early stages!!

I'm here following the arrival of my AF yesterday so I will now be hoping to get my BFP in July.

My stats: 32, TTC#2, Cycle 2 and CD2.

I've just realised how many number 2's there are in my stats Grin

My cycles aren't too regular following a Mirena removal and a miscarriage earlier this year but I am expecting my FW to start around the 20th of June.

Looking forward to having lots of passengers on this bus followed by lots of us getting our BFPs Grin

babydances · 08/07/2016 09:53

Good luck mrsgsnow I shall relate the bus now and then anyone who has had af can come and join me xxx

BertieBotts · 08/07/2016 09:45

Huh. Fertility friend reckons I did ovulate on the 1st! So my period/test date is only about a week away.

I am up to my eyeballs in confusing German driving theory, though :(

Hi Mrs thank you iv been counting the Monday as 1dpo so that's about right. In a way that means there's still room for AF to arrive as Sunday will be the day I'm truly 14dpo xx

MrsGsnow18 · 08/07/2016 09:38

lelly I think it can be up to 72 hours after a positive OPK. But I always count ov as the day after but then for it to be post ovulation you start counting from the day after ov ( so I count 2 days after positive OPK) if that makes sense.
babydances I'm desperately clinging onto the July bus for a few days until AF arrives then I'll pick myself up and hop on the August bus!

LittleSparkes · 08/07/2016 09:36

I just did the 'when should I test' calculator.

Basically Sunday as I thought. I'm just so impatient and now is still too early.

Anyone want to hop on a August bus with me?

Lelly0503 · 08/07/2016 09:29

I dunno what's going on. havent had a cycle longer than 28 days in 4 months and now on CD30. BFN with an Internet cheapy this morning. I got a positive ovulation test 14 days ago. Would you calculate yourself at 14dpo now? Or do u calculate it from the latest point you could of ovulated? I have lower back ache, similar pains to period pains but not quite the same and a load of watery cm just arrived, sorry tmi. I think AF will arrive tommorow as I got a bfn this morning

MrsGsnow18 · 08/07/2016 09:25

AF not AD*

MrsGsnow18 · 08/07/2016 09:24

Fx for you sparkes maybe it's still just too early.
I refuse to test today! It's taken a lot of willpower!
I really felt like AD would have arrived by now with the way I felt last night, it's due either Sunday or Monday. So I'm trying to wait until it's actually late because I can't take any more disappointment [sad

LittleSparkes · 08/07/2016 09:20

Still a bfn for me!
AF due Sunday but no signs of her arrival

Mamato1 · 08/07/2016 08:58

Still no AF today and felt really nauseous...could be the call of a rumbly tumbly more than anything I suppose though.
Good luck to all testers today Smile

LittleSparkes · 08/07/2016 08:28

Woke up with a headache this morning, not the best way to start a day

Lizziedoll · 08/07/2016 08:26

bertie my last period started June 5 and I tend to have 35 day cycles... So yes I guess I'm about 4 weeks?
barefoot you may be right re ovulation but because it was less than 2 weeks ago I hope it sticks and that I'm not getting all excited (and my partner!) for nothing Blush

Barefootcontessa84 · 08/07/2016 08:05

Hi Lizzie - from the fact you said AF was due this coming Sunday, you would have ovulated 14 days before then. Although you have a longer cycle, the part before ovulation would have been the long bit, as the luteal phase is pretty much bang on 14 (unless you have a shortened one). I would think you ovulated on June 26th - although you will be dated from LMP, ovulating later in your cycle may put your dates back a little. Hope that helps.

BertieBotts · 08/07/2016 07:06

Did you have a period Lizzie? What date was that, that's when they'll calculate from.

Just by ovulation you'd be 4 weeks 5 days today.

Lizziedoll · 07/07/2016 23:42

Thank you mamato

Mamato1 · 07/07/2016 23:32

Lizzie: Count the weeks from the first day of your last period. That'll tell you how many weeks you are.
Congratulations to all BFPs :)

Lizziedoll · 07/07/2016 22:35

Thank you! If I ovulated around July 20, how many weeks gone am I? I'm really confused, seeing the doctor tomorrow

LittleSparkes · 07/07/2016 21:44

Congrats Lizzie

ScandiManny · 07/07/2016 21:41

Congratulations Lizzie! Smile

Mamato1 · 07/07/2016 21:32

Hi all!
Holding a space whilst I await the arrival of AF.
TTC#2
Cycle 1
Currently on CD 26 when cycles are usually 24 days so 2 days late. Several (5+!) -ve HPTs already Blush. Symptoms come and go but I imagine it's mostly in my head
Everything crossed for lots of BFPs in July Smile

BertieBotts · 07/07/2016 21:21

I'm going to bed Grin it's an hour later here and I'm shattered!

Lizziedoll · 07/07/2016 21:15

bertiebotts thank you very much you have been so helpful and I feel a bit reassured. Have a lovely evening Smile
