July Bus

Morning everyone, goin to be a July bus wanker (excuse the expression it's affectionate I promise 😂) af arrived in all her horrible glory this morning so cd1 of 11 (5 since mc) but feeling positive this month!

Had a little meltdown and a bit of a cry on OH last night and feel really cleansed and clear today. Got alot of work to do at the new house (we moved in a couple of weeks ago) its an old house so it will take a while and work is busy so quite a bit to keep me occupied.

Hope to see some lovely Bfp's this month! ❤

@hidcat cross post! This is the most amazing news. Huge congratulations to you

@Delilah7 I thought I ovulated 14 cycle day of 28 day cycle but OPKs told me I actually ovulate the 10th or 11th cycle day. I understand not wanting to use OPKs though. You could always try and track CM?

Congratulations @HidCat!

Congratulations @HidCat! That's fantastic!

@Delilah7 it can vary a lot from woman to woman. It depends on the length of your overall cycle and the length of your luteal phase (the part of the cycle after ovulation which is pretty much the same every month). The average is a 28 day cycle and a 14 day luteal phase which is why it's often thought that women ovulate on day 14 of a cycle.
For me, my cycle is usually around 26 days and my luteal phase is only 10 days so I tend to ovulate on cycle day 16.

Congratulations HidCat!
Fingers crossed for everyone.

@Anyday88 hi, thank you :) okay was just abit confused haha. I'm clear now x

@Delilah7 I think if you have a regular 28 day cycle it is usually cycle day 13/14. The first day of the cycle being the first day of your period.

Hi Ladies.

Wondering if you can help with my motivation...
so I've just come off my period for my third cycle, nothing happened as of yet in these cycles.
I don't want to use OPK's yet I want to try enjoy it and relax with it abit more. Flo tells me my ovulation date is in 8 days time. Surely that's not right? isn't it 14 days 'normally' after your period? X

Hi, how is everyone doing, I'm 7dpo and analysing every breath I take twinge. I have, even DH agrees, one massive boob for some reason (we have named it Munster) so no idea what that's about! Will test Sunday at 12dpo (only because I'm on holiday and don't want to miss the bloody wine tasting!)

@BlueArtemis I'm also on my first cycle and have gone similarly mad - I'm thinking of it like a interesting, high stakes new hobby!

@spottyyellowdress @hidcat - wishing for BFP for you soon FX!!

There should have been an and in there 🙈
Over excited I think!

AF has arrived this morning so that makes a 23 day cycle, a bit better than last month we can start trying soon!

How is everyone feeling today?

@HidCat I’m sure it’s the heat!
@TheMagicTorch def not testing early this month. If no AF by the weekend then I will, but not until then.

@spottyyellowdress hope you feel better soon. My hayfever has been horrendous today. I'm just starting the TWW and have promised myself I won't test early after the heartbreak last month. Going to be tough!

@ClaryFray sorry to hear about spotting. Fingers crossed it’s implantation.
I’d forgotten about caramacs and now want one too.

I’m due Thursday. So hard not to symptom spot. Been convincing myself I have sensitive boobs, checking knickers for spotting and analysing every twinge. Started to feel a bit nauseous today but don’t know if it’s wishful thinking. Was going to try and be strong and wait for missed period but about to get home from hen weekend away and my tests will be tempting me to wee on them

@TheMagicTorch I’ve never had one in my life but combined with the eye I reckon it’s - combination of heat and stress! But 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
How are you getting on?

@Spottyyellowdress my mum and sisters all suffered with nosebleeds in early pregnancy 🤞

Lauzza sorry to hear that, fighters crossed for you. I’ve just starting bbt for the first time this month, hoping it will help me pinpoint ovulation accurately.

Spottyyellowdress I’ve heard of the nosebleed thing before as a pregnacy sign! Fingers crossed for you, when will you be testing? X

Hello to everyone joining!

So even more bizarre symptoms today! 7 or 8dpo - nosebleed this morning, red, bloodshot patch in my eye, my head feels like it’s about to explode and a tiny bit of brown discharge...feel absolutely horrendous.

Either these are wishful thinking pregnancy symptoms or I’m having an aneurysm or something.

Can I jump in too 😊 this is my 11th cycle ttc baby no2. Was feeling really good about it up until today. My bbt chart was looking good but then started spotting yesterday, bbt dropped and feeling like AF is on her way. Not due on until 9th though.

The wait is so frustrating! Convinced myself I wouldn't test until AF is due but just went and bought FRER!!! Couldn't help myself 🙈 not sure I can resist the urge although I know I'm setting myself up for disappointment 🙁

Keeping fingers crossed for the rest of you 🤞

I’ve got a doctors appointment of the 9th of July for testing as we’ve been trying for 3 years with a ruptured ectopic in between. I’m due to ovulate around Friday 13th of all days 😂 will be our last proper try before testing so fingers crossed 🤞 good luck everyone 😊
