July Bus

I do chart Bertie Botts, my cycle is 35 days so I should ovulate around day 18, so I made sure to have lots of sex last week and this weekend, just hope it works. We are so desperate for a baby! I've never gotten two lines on an ovulation test

Hi everyone! Nothing much to report here Cycle 2 CD6. Just waiting for FW now! Had a very long cycle last month of 42 days it was first cycle off pill though so I'm hoping it will be shorter this time!

Hi everyone I'm now starting the TWW. Had a different approach this month not by choice though, we only Dtd 3 times throughout the fertile week so I'm not massively hopefull. The last 4 months we've tried every day more or less and that hasn't worked so I suppose it can't hurt having tried a different approach. Good luck to everyone else xxx

Do you chart Lizzie?

My chart seems all messed up this month. I think it is stress over Brexit. I got no sleep the night of the referendum and then the next night drank and the day after that I had a random spike for no reason and Ovia reckons I'm coming up to my fertile time so I need to see the spike after that. I suppose it's possible if it stays down from today i could see something but it's hard to tell.

Hello can I join?
My name is Lizzie I'm 29

TTC #1
Cycle 3

I think it's going to be difficult for me to conceive as I have chronic BV and a 35 day cycles, I tried using ovulation tests but according to them I never ovulate

My period is due July 10. I've had sex with my partner 2-3 times a week and I've had really sore nipples/breasts the past few days, really hope I got lucky this cycle.

Anyone else struggling to pinpoint when they are ovulating?

Good luck everyone!

Morning ladies.
Cd16 and I've just got a high reading on my monitor! Few days later than normal and I was beginning to loose hope. Took the stick out to have a look and I cannot see any difference to the stick that gave a low reading the day before..... I guess I just have to trust it and get bizeeeee with DH!

For some reason I've ordered the newer model monitor. I'm hoping that I won't need to use it and it will be a total waste of money.
I'm have a birthday bash for my big birthday next month which is a week after my test day. I hoping that due to the fact a BFP will be bad timing as I will want to drink at it, will increase my chances of BFP happening!

fox I had mid cycle spotting for the first time 3 months ago. Happened when I should have ovulated. Had a look on line and it can happen when no egg is released. All very odd and my monitor has not given a peak reading since. I know that's not much help..... Sorry

Thank you craftypenguin I really hope it does happen. I'm fine in general but when AF arrives every month it's a bit of a bummer. Let's hope it won't be too much longer! Lots have said its when you stop concentrating on it that it will happen! It's hard not to though! In the 2ww now!

Mbire don't be disheartened! It took me 18 months to conceive dd. At around 2 months I started losing hope, and around 16 months I said to dh let's just forget it - it ended up happening when we least expected it. We did tell ourselves at around 12 months that we wouldn't get stressed about it, but if we got to 18 months and didn't get anywhere, that we'd go to the Dr's. I really hope it'll happen for you soon

crafty penguin I'm on cycle 10

Hi ladies! I'm officially in the game now - got my first postpartum period on friday after 6 months of 'trying' (didn't hold out much hope but thought we'd try anyway) so that makes me...

TTC #2
Cycle 1
Day 3

So hopefully I'll be getting my BFP towards the end of July. I'm moving house on what will most likely be my most fertile day...busy month ahead for me!! ;)

Nice to meet you all :)

Ah, so frustrating! My partner and I haven't had sex in several years because he has a chronic condition that leaves him very tired. I worked out when I was fertile, we got down to it and it went really well, I'd forgotten how good he is at this and ... he couldn't finish. Ah well, try again in a few days! On the plus side, everything else went well and we had fun.

Thanks Lelly, that really helps Supspect I'll have a positive in the next day or so then, fingers crossed.

Mbire How long have you been trying for?

babyreadykate I usually get my positive Opk on day 18 which is late. We dtd up to day 19 but haven't had a chance since which I'm a bit annoyed about!
I'm also a teacher and starting a new job in September but won't be putting anything off due to how long it is taking! Spoke to my SIL yesterday and it took her a year and she named about five of her friends who all took a similar length of time so I'm trying to be patient!

Hi everyone hoping to conceive No.2 at 31. Cycle no. 3 for us, naively thinking it would happen if I just looked at my partner like last time so bit gutted it hasn't but having positive feelings for this month. Starting to feel guilty about the 2 glasses of wine I had tonight though like they would effect anything! Good luck everyone x

Hi! waves Can I join in please?

I'm 27 and TTC #2. This will be my first cycle TTC, but dd took 18 months so I'm not getting my hopes up anytime soon!

kn33 I love your dog theory!! Haha
But save yourself and hold off a bit longer!! Step away from the pee sticks!

I am 6dpo
Six
And I ALREADY want to pee on a stick
Someone knock me down a peg or two PLEASE

My poor dog is being treat like a Guinea pig, every day he doesn't jump up at my belly is one more day I definitely think I'm pregnant and he can smell it

Hi, please can I join the bus? I'm 32, ttc #2 on cycle 2, CD1. I've not tried ovulation sticks or anything yet.

Hi MBire, I am day 10 but not fertile according to clearblue OPK, so hopefully I get a flashing smiley soon. This is my first month using it. Are you fertile already on day 10 of your cycle? Good luck to you this month, everything crossed. Wibble don't worry about the results and putting off babies as I think there is 'never a good time' and whatever is meant to be will be. Try not to feel anxious about it as everything will take a while to change any way. Look after yourself and your own family needs and the big things will fall into place. For instance, I am in between jobs at the moment, I am a teacher and starting a new school in Sept, now is not a good time BUT you really don't know how long these things take, so whatever happens will be a blessing for us I am sure. Hope you are feeling more positive today about things x

Hi Scandi I use those tests and this was my positive yesterday. The day before it looked like the one you have today. I'd BD today just in case as aparantly the days before ov are when ur most likely to concieve. I got my positive test yesterday but have only BD'd Wednesday and today so I don't think there's much chance iv caught it as I think Wednesday would be too early and today too late.

Would everyone consider this a positive OPK? I'm only CD12 so would be extremely early for me I am still BF DC2 though so cycle length can vary somewhat. Think I'll test again in a few hours anyway...

Hmmm ImprobableGirl, it's frustrating isn't it! I never have mid-cycle bleeding... The second month we start tic and I have no idea what's going on.
Maybe ovulation is happening earlier for you this month?? My spotting started about 6 days before I was expecting to ovulate. It has stopped now but I'm left wondering if I have ovulated or not??
Time will tell for the both of us! x

Oooh foxglove, I have mid-cycle bleeding, but I don't think mine could be implantation- we only dtd 3 days ago

My FW should start in 3 days... But I'm now getting brown spotting after my period ended a week ago, we have dtd once but there's no way I could've ovulated, unless it's twice a month?! God knows what's happening
