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

Sorry littlesparkes it's so confusing, hope you can figure it out soon! Flowers

butterpuff I admire your patience!! Prob best way to keep your sanity intact! Grin

I'm off now to the August bus. Good luck for anyone still on the July bus!! Hope there will soon be some BFPs! Star

Fx LittleSparkes your not out until AF gets here.

Sorry for AF MrsGSnow

Good luck everyone else, pleased your DH is on board haveacupoftea

I'm on CD 36 today which is when AF arrived last month (though I average a 34 day cycle) not feeling pregnant or premenstrual so I'll just have to wait and see. I wont be testing until Saturday as I hate a BFN and by then AF should have arrived if she is going to.

Is it possible for a cycle to just keep getting longer. I hope that's not a bad sign.

LittleSparkes · 13/07/2016 07:28

This mornings.. Still no sign of AF
I'm really confused. I'm starting to question whether my spotting midcycle was actually a period (even though it was much too light to be one)
I'm now CD 31 (of 27) and 16DPO

MrsGsnow18 · 13/07/2016 07:19

I'm not sure if I can see anything either littlesparkes Did you retest this morning?
AF arrived for me so sadly that's me out Sad

SoozC · 13/07/2016 07:11

I can't, Sparkes, but I often can't see them when others can. Fx for you!

LittleSparkes · 12/07/2016 22:51

Can anyone else see a really really faint line?

Late joiner here. I was put off after being a day late for AF last month and DP finding my test and asking 'are you doing ANOTHER' pregnancy test'? Made me feel like does he not actually want to ttc?

BUT after a chat it turns out he wants us to test together so I need to stop hiding everything...comes from years of him not wanting kids though I keep it all inside!

Anyway..

1dpo here on CD20, late ov this month for some reason, have been stressed at work maybe thats why. DTD Friday and Sunday so think I got the timings down good this month Grin

LittleSparkes · 12/07/2016 17:39

Plus I'm super bloated....

LittleSparkes · 12/07/2016 15:37

I know, fortunately my job means I am just on the phone to clients all day - keeping my hands free to Google why my womb is lying to me.

And I feel really nervously excited! Grin

MrsGsnow18 · 12/07/2016 15:35

Littlesparkes haha now we're both confused! I hope you are right! I hope this is both our months! Star
I'm encouraged by stories online of longer implantation and ladies with lower hormone levels etc not getting BFPs until as late as 19dpo! So Keeping everything crossed!

I am so distracted by it, I have done very little except Google all day Blush

LittleSparkes · 12/07/2016 15:29

AHHH I meant to say CD 30! I'm CD 30 and 15 DPO

LittleSparkes · 12/07/2016 15:29

MrsG Kind of [confused} but i don't think you are out.

I'm CD 20 - 15DPO but still getting the BFN! I read that some women don't show on tests till 2 weeks after AF due. plus your period isn't considered missed till 5 days after your AF is due. Baring that in mind I still have 3 more days till my period is considered missed... as I have no AF symptoms I am confident it isn't going to show.
I mean - you know your body and how you feel. I just get the sense that this month is my one. I hope it is for you too!

MrsGsnow18 · 12/07/2016 15:24

I find the whole sensitivity of test thing confusing but aparently and I know I've read lots on MN digital ones usually detect 25mlU/ml whereas some early tests are 10mlU/ml.
However I read online somewhere earlier (because I'm still obsessively googling to find out why I have no AF and BFN Confused) that you are considered pregnant if your HCG level is 25 or above!
This has confused me a lot. I reckon now though that I must def be out, I'm on CD35 and would be 13dpo. So if I was pregnant j should be able to get a positive on even a less sensitive 25mlU/Ml digital test because by now I should have that high of a level at least.
Does that make any sense?Confused

LittleSparkes · 12/07/2016 13:53

MrsG, I am having no cramps and no spotting which for me would suggest the arrival of AF.

You say the digital tests aren't as sensitive? I did a clearblue digital this morning that show a BFN, does that mean that it still could be? So confusing. What are the best tests?

MrsGsnow18 · 12/07/2016 12:20

Good luck Bertie
Sorry knitting although the digital tests are generally not as sensitive. So again you're not out until AF shows up!
Same for you Eva! Your quite early still!
Littlesparkes guess our bodies are just playing tricks on us Sad any sign of AF? Or any more testing?

BertieBotts · 12/07/2016 09:47

My temps are going down so I am out. I'm not going to join August since we're taking a more relaxed approach currently. I will see you (hopefully not all of you, fingers crossed for some graduates!) on the September or October bus. :)

Mimilicious013 · 12/07/2016 09:23

Sorry to everyone who got a visit from the witchFlowers
Best of luck to those with bfn s.hope a sneaky bfp Is around the corner(u are not out till af shows)

I'm having the worst experience ever. Cd38 of a usually 24 day cycle. Clear bfn and no sign of af.I honestly don't need this on cycle 13!! Ttc is messing with my sanity.

Eva30 · 12/07/2016 08:38

mrsgsnow I share your pain! I caved and tested this morning too (11dpo) and BFN. I was almost certain it would be due to only BD once in FW, temps and no symptoms so only confirmed what I already knew. Need AF to hurry up now and on to cycle 4.

Theknittinggorilla · 12/07/2016 08:01

Sorry mrsg and sparkles. I got a not pregnant on a CB digital this morning too and am gutted as i am sure I had a very faint line yesterday.
Another day of uncertainty and try again tomorrow I think.
Good luck anyone else testing today. Fingers crossed for everyone.

SoozC · 12/07/2016 07:54

We all understand where you're coming from, MrsG. It's the reason I've given up testing early. Fx, you're not out yet.

LittleSparkes · 12/07/2016 07:53

Same here Mrs

I'm still hopeful though. I'm having no sign of AF coming. I'm 2 days late and 15 dpo.

I agree though... Is horrible to see those words

MrsGsnow18 · 12/07/2016 07:45

Sad to hear of all the AFs but glad there still seems to be a lot of positivity about Joining the August bus. Think I'll be onboard myself before the week is out.

BFN on a boots digital this morning for me, AF late as of today. No symptoms but I was so excited yesterday and held off testing all day for FMU this morning. Seeing the words 'Not pregnant' was quite a downer Sad

MishyBakes · 11/07/2016 22:35

I think I'm off to join the August bus. CD 30 and having full on cramps, achey back, plus cervix is low, firm and open. I'm not as upset as I thought I would be. I think I've learnt a lot this cycle (having been on the pill/implant for such a long time!). From now on I will not trust the boobs!

Fx you all have better luck this month than I do! And to those who have bfps this month, huge congrats, I'm really happy for you all Smile Flowers

SoozC · 11/07/2016 22:29

Sorry to hear af got you, Vanilla :(

Gorilla, I can't see anything but fx for tomorrow morning!

Butterpuff, I don't know what's worse - having symptoms but they don't end in af or not having anything to pin hopes on. Sorry you're in limbo, fx af doesn't arrive!

ScandiManny · 11/07/2016 22:26

Congrats to those with BFPs.

CD28 here (or possibly CD14 going by the day my weird short mid cycle started although I'm think it's more likely CD28). BFN this morning so I'm just waiting for the witch to show!
