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

Evening all, I've had super swollen and sore breasts the past few days, sensitive nipples, a swollen tummy and I've been really emotional. I'm hoping these are all signs but I feel it could all be just weight gain? AF is due July 10, really hoping she never turns up. Anyone else testing around that time and wants to buddy up with me?

Mammyashy1 · 28/06/2016 18:44

So AF arrived yeasteray and I've hopped on the July bus lol hi guys hope this will be a lucky thread x

MrsGsnow18 · 28/06/2016 17:43

Ooh fingers crossed for you babydances that having it out will help you!
I am soooo happy today because I got a positive OPK!!!! ( first time ever!)

babydances · 28/06/2016 16:35

Hi everyone!
I'm still here just waiting for af to bugger off.
I'm now on cycle 3 cd6.
I get my 10 month out of date implant out on Monday (long story for those who haven't read previous post lol)
So really interested to see if there was anything left in there and hoping I can have an easier ttc ride once it's out. Yipeee 5 days to go!
waves to everyone old and new

BertieBotts · 28/06/2016 15:47

I'll also test around the middle of July Eva so we can be buddies again :)

LittleSparkes · 28/06/2016 14:59

vanillaradio mine is a faint line today too. But i am also bleeding (only a very very little bit of brown blood. I'm hoping it's an ovulation bleed.

This is our first time trying so everything is very new to us, plus having miscarried in February it all feels very delicate.

I wish you all the best on your journey!

Vanillaradio · 28/06/2016 14:41

Thanks Littlesparkes that makes sense. I am really clueless on opks, just went for the lots of sex approach with ds but with a toddler and resultant lack of energy things need to be a bit more targeted this time! Good luck everyone, looking forward to lots of bfps on this threadSmile

TryingToStayRational · 28/06/2016 13:34

mimi I really hope you get your BFP this time, sending you all the good wishes I can muster Star

LittleSparkes · 28/06/2016 13:23

vanillaradio you always have a small amount of the LH hormone in your system so will always appear faint..... a line the same colour or darker indicated a surge (ovulation).

Good luck!

Will be poas on 1 July Bertie .l am praying this is finally it. Have been on every bus since last year.cycle 13,hope it's a lucky month

Finger s crossed for everyone this July. trying fx my poas buddy

Vanillaradio · 28/06/2016 12:25

Hi all, so Ovia says I am in my fw from today. I tried an opk for the first time this morning and there was a very faint line, which the instructions say is not a positive for ovulation. What does a faint line mean though, that i'm close to ovulating?

LittleSparkes · 28/06/2016 10:04

28
Cycle #7
TTC #1
CD 16

I ovulate today so fingers crossed

Laura05 · 28/06/2016 08:56

I'll be trying to hold on til Monday to test if AF doesn't show on Saturday. FX for everyone testing! Bring on the july bus bfp!!

Lelly0503 · 28/06/2016 08:37

Hi everyone, I'm now 2DPO and already planning my fertile week in July as I'm not feeling positive about this month at all. I'm due AF around the 6th/7th of July so may be testing around then xx

Eva30 · 28/06/2016 08:29

Hey bertie same with my chart - very erratic!! Nothing in common with last months chart, although I was on hols the first week so was getting up later so maybe that explains all the different temps, who knows. My test date is 17th July

Lizziedoll · 28/06/2016 08:20

Bertie Botts I'll be testing next week! Although I don't hold out too much hope this cycle Sad

BertieBotts · 28/06/2016 07:44

Absolutely no idea what is going on with my chart whatsoever.

BertieBotts · 28/06/2016 07:43

It's almost July everyone! Who is testing in the first week? Sticks at the ready? Grin

TryingToStayRational · 27/06/2016 22:51

MrsDarlingGirl Def get BD-ing pronto if you have the elusive EWCM! It tends to arrive before ovulation (I think I'm right in saying it is caused by the oestrogen rise that comes before the FSH surge that normally leads to ovulation), hence can be a few days before.

Fx for you for next month, Writer. Glad your DH is on the mend!

I'm 8dpo and trying (failing) to resist symptom spotting. I'm exhausted and had a mini-meltdown this evening over nothing much. Proper sobbing in a heap stuff, which is usually reserved for the night before AF, but I'm almost a week away from that. Realistically I'm probably just tired (didn't sleep much Thurs night with the whole brexit thing and haven't slept well since due to worries about my job and several friend's jobs etc) and emotional due to all of that too. But of course I do want it to be a sign of something else. Scary as that would be, given the above. But there's never a right time and all that. We would manage somehow.

Hopefully I can contain myself til at least Friday before testing. I try not to test early but this cycle I'm just feeling especially weak and a bit desperate!

Love to all in the tww as ever. Hope to see more BFPs soon!

Laura05 · 27/06/2016 18:29

FX for next month writer

I've also just been quietly watching. AF due Saturday so going to test Monday if she's not arrived. Not hopeful as don't think we dtd at the right times this month due to ovia changing my fertile window!

Writerwannabe83 · 27/06/2016 16:00

Hi everyone, just checking in.

Due to DH having had an operation earlier this month TTC has been completely out the question. He's fine, it was a planned procedure but it is only now, at CD22 that he feels he may possibly be able to manage sex soon Grin

I usually ovulate between days CD16-18 so I know this month had been wasted but it couldn't be helped. I wasn't really tracking anything or monitoring my CM or using OPKs as I knew DTD wasn't on the cards anyway. I kind of wished I had now though as I'm assuming the more data Ovia has the more accurate it would be? Oh well, I can't do anything about it now.

Welcome to the newbies and I'm quietly following the thread to watch out for all of the BFPs Smile

MrsDarlingGirl · 27/06/2016 15:59

Hi Ladies,

Can I ask.... Does EWCM always mean ovulation?! I'm truly rubbish at CM spotting but just had a load (eeeew! Sorry!) but only on CD20 and don't normally ov until CD25. Had I better hop on the good foot and do the bad thing?! I think I will DTD tonight incase.

Barefoot I love that feeling when you do a OPK and get the smile! Makes you feel better.

Good luck those of you in 2WW!

Barefootcontessa84 · 27/06/2016 12:58

Hi girls - just checking in! CD12 and had my first clear blue flashing smiley! Gave me a bit of a boost after feeling a bit down about last month/ wondering whether anything goes on down there!

Mimilicious013 · 27/06/2016 12:29

Hie ladies
Cd23 so any day now I will either be crying or celebrating.after 13 cycles I can't take another visit from the witch.
Good luck to everyone waiting for ov,those in the fw and all in the tww.fx for those poas this weekend.
