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

Yay to the bfps!

Big hugs to all those getting af and getting down about it all. We all know what it's like. I don't have any hope for this month or any month (only about 2dpo), going to docs when the summer hols starts as I'll be 35 and we've been trying six months. My DP is finding it stressful and I'm finding it saddening.

Love to all you lovely ladies x

Eva30 · 04/07/2016 14:23

Yes I'm 3dpo. I'm not testing this time until AF is late, I feel like I'm keeping frer in business with all my POAS!

MishyBakes · 04/07/2016 14:03

Hi barefoot, glad someone else is in the same limbo as I am! I'm probably wrong, but I count the day I got the positive OPK as day 0. The day after I had pain on the left side which was most likely ovulation. Can't be 100% sure though. Hope the time passes quickly for you Smile

Barefootcontessa84 · 04/07/2016 13:54

Also can I ask how you calculate dpo? I used CB ovulation tests and got first solid smiley on Thurs (30th June). Do I predict I ov'd on 1st or 2nd? Or when?! Thanks!

Barefootcontessa84 · 04/07/2016 13:53

Also in the 2ww - somewhere 2-4dpo. Feeling very impatient today, not helped by being a very boring Monday! Hmm

MishyBakes · 04/07/2016 13:43

Congrats to everyone with bfps, lots of Flowers to those with bfps. Big hugs to you user. Hope you get everything sorted with the scan. It sounds like you're coping remarkably well, keep looking after yourself.

Is anyone else in the tww at the mo? I'm 7 days po, and I'm all over the place. I'm exhausted and weepy, been on and off crampy with a for the last 7 days. It must be too soon to have symptoms, which makes me worry that AF will turn up next week. Sorry to vent, it's just driving me slightly crazy today

user1466632763 · 04/07/2016 13:15

Sorry to hear so many AF arriving :(

I'm definately having a chemical this month! :(

Got to wait for a date on a scan to check everything over, MC end of March

Feeling very blue! But must chill and be positive.

MrsGsnow18 · 04/07/2016 13:09

Sorry to hear so many AFs arriving, I think I might be out too though. Not giving up just yet but AD arrived early for me last month and have similar feelings now Sad

Lizziedoll · 04/07/2016 12:20

Thanks littlesparkles personally I've given up for this month! Just gonna wait for AF. All the best to you, I hope you get your BFP

LittleSparkes · 04/07/2016 11:54

lizzie dont give up hope, I did a sneaky test this morning and it was negative too, AF not due till Sunday so I'm still very hopeful.

All cramps have stopped. But i'm hugely bloated (tummy is big and round instead of flat as normal). I also can't focus on anything, and I keep falling alseep (work today is a struggle).

I wish you all the best

Wibblewobble100 · 04/07/2016 11:38

Hi all, congrats on the BFPs and Flowers for the BFNs. I tested on sat am at 9dpo - bfn but DS had been up in the middle of the night and I had pee'd then so not really a true first pee of the day so I'm not getting down hearted yet. Will test again tomorrow at cd 28. No symptoms except sore boobs and creamy discharge /cm which I get every month but I didn't have any new symptoms last time either. Fx for everyone else.

Lizziedoll · 04/07/2016 11:17

Did a cheapie this am and got a bfn. My period not due until Sunday but I just know I'm not pregnant. Broken hearted

Writerwannabe83 · 04/07/2016 10:50

Thanks Laura.

This cycle was only 28 days where my previous ones were 35 days and 33 days.

Prior to DS coming along (he's now two) I had regular 35 day cycles but as a result breastfeeding, the Mirens and a miscarriage my periods are all over the place.

Things are incredibly hard with DS at the moment though so me and DH are really wavering about having a second Sad

LittleSparkes · 04/07/2016 10:09

lizzie we are both due the same day!

Laura05 · 04/07/2016 10:08

FX for next cycle writer!

LittleSparkes · 04/07/2016 10:07

Lizziedoll my period is due to come this Sunday. so I have promised my partner I won't test till then..... I'm so hoping this is my month.

Good Luck to you too! When is your AF due?

Eva30 · 04/07/2016 10:03

Thanks lauraSmile

Writerwannabe83 · 04/07/2016 10:00

AF has arrived this morning which I am fine with as I knew this month was a write-off due to my DH's operation and so now I've got a starting point for my next cycle.

Congratulations to all the existing BFPs and good luck to those so are still waiting to test Flowers

Eva I've just had a look through ovia and I had left pelvic pain Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Got BFP on the Saturday.

Hope this helps. FX

Eva30 · 04/07/2016 09:12

Ah I'm sorry to hear a few of us are feeling down, I go through phases of it - was down in the dumps over the weekend but feeling a tad better this morning.
Anyone who has ever had a BFP - how soon after ov did you get cramps / pinching feeling?
I have pain on my lower left side, I googled it (always risky!) and it says it could be the Fallopian tube contracting to push the egg to the uterus? Anyone have this?
I had ov pain on Friday on the lower left so think it's my left ovary which sent the egg this month!

Fran03 · 03/07/2016 23:52

I think I am 9 dpo and after my initial positivity I am now feeling down and out of this month. Had a bfn tonight but to be expected anyway testing this early and late at night. I thought this would be my month but positive thoughts are disappearing fast x😔

Writerwannabe83 · 03/07/2016 21:38

I've been baby bombed again at work today.

That's my fourth colleague now who is expecting.

One of them started TTC'ing the same month as me, she got pregnant first time, and had today been waving her 9 week scan in my face. I'm happy for her..... but part of me feels like telling her to fu*k off too Grin Grin

Laura05 · 03/07/2016 20:50

Aww lizzie don't give up hope until AF appears! I had cramping before my bfp and have had cramping today that's made me think that it might not stick!

Silly question for all but I've just done POAS and it's a faint line. It's a 25ml one as they didn't have early and I thought since I got a line with an early then a normal would be fine. Is it normal to be a faint line though? Also would a digital show positive just now? Or best waiting a couple of days? I haven't told dh yet but thought I'd give him a digital so it's there staring him in the face Smile

MrsGsnow18 · 03/07/2016 19:52

I'm sorry User Flowers life just seems unfair sometimes. Fx for you!
Lizzie if I remember correctly I think we're similar dates. I think my AF is due 10th or 11th. But think I'm only 6dpo max.
I feel crampy too!

Lizziedoll · 03/07/2016 19:09

Disheartened this Sunday evening. Most of my symptoms seem to have gone, except from my bloated looking uterus and I'm feeling a bit crampy so probably means AF on her way. I feel I'll never have that baby :(
