July Bus

Lelly ahhhhh. That rings a bell now. I've been using a different make. I'll have a look at preseed and see if it's any different.

Ha everdene my Bf just says 'get the stuff'! That's funny.

Hairyworm- preseed is a lubricant that's safe to use while TTC. It's supposed to mimic fertile CM. Have a google but the reviews do sell it like your conceive the first month you use it! I'm on month three now, no BFP yet but I do think preseed helps when you don't have a lot of CM which can happen to me. It's a bit pricey but I got mine of Amazon with a load of cheapy OPK and pg tests. X

Haha!

Aww bless him writer for his effort! Only other way round it is a tug and jump on

Oooh babydancer keeping things crossed for you.

Fox how infuriating. Hope AF goes soon.

Yes Lux it gives me the rage too....expecially those months when I've totally not been up for DTD but we've had to because it FW and then I'm not bloody pregnant anyway... Argh

Can I ask what Preseed is? Is it the lubricant that helps sperm mobility?
We both take the prenancy/conception Vits but is there anything else not on prescription that can give things a boost?

Aw no writer what kind of operation is it if you don't mind me asking? No way he could just lie there and take one for the team?
I'm approaching my fertile window too although I have no idea what's going on as I had on off cramps yesterday and today and this morning I woke up feeling very wet (TMI sorry) although there's not actually anything on my knickers?!

Lelly I use Preseed too, my DH can never remember its name and keeps calling it things like 'Fertile Seed'

We are trying SMEP this month. I am gunning for a work promotion so trying to think about what the logistics might be like if I got it!

My body is playing silly devils with me - late ov and now I'm having spotting every day... Don't take evening primrose oil is my advice! I'm sticking to preseed after this crazy cycle. I'm just hoping af turns up next week and is only a few days late rather than making this a really long cycle!

Hi all, can I hop on the July bus please?

I'm 28
TTC #1
Cycle 2
CD3

Had an anovulatory cycle this last month, came off contraception in April (after 10 years). Using clear blue OPKs and Ovia to try and work out my cycle as best I can! Also taking folic acid and have ordered some Agnus castus to see if that helps. Good luck everyone!

Hi all, I'm ready for the July bus!

I'm 32
TTC #1
Cycle 3
Etd: July 1

Just found my bbt thermometer and re-started taking pregnacare and folic acid!

Hi can I join you all?
Stats: 28, ttc #3, cycle 3, cd 1.

Previous 2 pregnancies took 3months and 1 year to conceive. So I'm nervous it's going to take a long time again. I was on the pill for around 8 months before ttc.

I'm tempted to get the clearblue digital ov tests. I used them with dd1, but last time used the cheapies, I find them a bit stressful with working out if it's positive or not. I like it nice and obvious!

foxglove how annoying and confusing!
FX for you babydances!

I'be sadly realised that I'm out for July now prob since DH will be away for entire FW! ( stupid early AF!) this is all according to ovia' predictions, will keep using OPKs to track too but so annoyed that things will delayed another month!

Hi everyone. Iv started taking the boots his&hers conception vitamins, will be using preseed too. im only on CD6 and this month is dragging. God knows what the TWW will be like. I feel like the days I ov and AF go really quickly, it's the days in between that take forever. We are trying to BD every other day this month, we started already and will try to keep going until AF, let's see how it goes! X

That sounds promising babydances, hope it leads to a BFP and not AF.

Babydance, I've got my fingers crossed for you. Spotting sounds like a good sign!
Welcome luxnuova and hairyworm (love the name!)
MrsGsNow yes so long! It's still going... The first night was really light pink ewcm so I assumed it was implantation. Unlike anything I've had before. 6 days of proper AF and now 4 days of random red blood and (TMI) brown sticky mucus

Thanks laura I'll wait until Friday mornin if af hasn't kicked into gear but j won't get my hopes up as I'll be disappointed

Oh fingers crossed for you then babydances!!! I personally have never had implantation bleeding or spotting but many others have so it could be what's happening!! Are you going to test again?

Yes laura my cycles until ttc were 35 days then last month was 47 days. I carries on this month like it was a 35 day cycle and now I'm on day 41, with the tee it's spotting on day 39. So could be but don't want to get my hopes up

Is there still a chance you could be pg Babydances?

Well af was a small spot and then disappeared. Pfft I had a smudge and that was it.

Hi hairyworm, I've just joined the thread also. We've been TTC#2 for what feels like forever too, so I hear you on the general pissed-offness. Hope you get a peak reading this month.

AF arrived on weekend. Onwards...

Sorry to hear that AF got you too babydances

foxglove day 9 seems very long! Towards end was it brown spotting now or proper AF flow?

Can I join?
AF arrived a couple of days ago. I was kinda expecting it.
I use a fertility monitor which has worked really well for me in the past and I've had 3 BFPs (2mc and 1DD). Its worked fine since TTC#2 began but for the last 2 cycles I've not had a peak reading, only high ones. To make things even more infuriating, the way the monitor works means that im using loads of sticks (keeps requesting tests until peak reading) and they seem to have doubled in price since having DD1! Grrrrr

My stats
Age: 39
TTC #2
Cycle: lost count. 6+
CD 2

I'm hoping that posting on MN may bring me a bit of luck.
I'm actually really pissed off that I'm not pregnant (I'm surrounded by pregnant people) and I'm feeling a bit better just by posting here.

New pack of test sticks has just arrived and I'm counting down to AF slinging her hook so we can get on with this month!
