July Bus 🚌

Can I join this bus please? I'm 33 and TTC our first. AF due on the 10th. Seems unlikely to happen this month as we only decided to give in and give it a go yesterday on ovulation day but who knows. I track using and app and thermometer. No tests. Good luck everyone!

@LT103 glad to hear your cycles are back to normal - gives me some hope! Good luck to you too!

@zippityzip I'm 12 dpo and those lines I got on 8 dpo still haven't progressed. Just getting BFNs or indents on the cheapies. Must've been a fluke day. I'm going to stop testing now and just let AF come. ☹️

Welcome @abc222 I came off pill end feb. I seemed to start cycling straight away but have had some odd periods and def a few spots! Back to getting cramping as well which stopped when on the pill. We started trying couple months ago but tracked this month with Femometer and cycle seems to be pretty normal. Trying for #1 here too! Good luck with your journey

Hi all, I would also like to hop aboard the July bus please
TTC baby number 1. I am 33 and DH is 37. I came off the pill in February and first proper AF did not arrive until May. First proper cycle post pill was 31 days and my skin has been struggling with the changes in hormones - anyone else had that problem?
I'm awaiting ovulation but AF may be due 10th July. Tracking using Fermometer strips and app (free version).
Fingers crossed for everybody

@Kalecat Any updates? How are you getting on.

@LT103 Ah that's awesome and so clear. I've just tested with OPKs and I've got the beginnings of a line. Like a shadow it's so faint but I've never ever had the hint of another line so far so I'm really hoping that I ovulate this month.

@zippityzip we’ve been trying for 3 months but this is first time actually tracking and I feel like it’s just permanently waiting for the next stage!! I might need to relax a bit if this is going to take time, couldn’t do this every month!

I used the femometer sticks, you take a photo with the app and it scores them (would maybe work with the other sticks too). It made it really easy. I got peak yesterday morning and cramping last night/this morning with some spotting so definitely correct timing. I’ve put a pic on of what mine did. They made it quite easy to tell what was happening

@LT103 oh thank you. I have a batch of the internet cheapies so don't mind using them all 😂 I did one this morning and not even a hint of a second line. So I'll stick to one a day until around CD11 then I'll POAS about ten times a day.

Is it just me or does time stand still when you're TTC.

@zippityzip this was my first time tracking with opk. I started cd7 (tho mine said to start cd10) I just have the heap ones so didn’t mind. Did once a day from cd7 then 3 times a day from cd11. Was low early on cd12 the. Jumped to high few hours later. Peaked on cd13. I think it depends on what type you have how often you do them.

Thanks for the congrats ladies - but those positives on evening of 8 dpo were suddenly negatives yesterday on 9 dpo with FMU? So odd... I don't see how I could've got 2 false positives on 2 different tests? I'm 10 dpo now and scared to retest again and see negatives 🙈

Ladies I've just finished my period, when am I supposed to start using OPKs to check for ovulation? Today onwards? Or just in the fertile week that shows on my Ovia app?

@Kalecat easily see that!

@kalekat I can totally see that!!! Eek.
Good luck.

Can I jump on the July bus please ladies 😁 I'm awaiting ovulation though. I'm CD19. Will probably ovulate in the next 5 days. Ugh... ling cycles.

This will be baby number three for me. I have two healthy girls after a twin stillbirth, 10 weeks miscarriage and multiple chemicals. Lets do this!! Good luck all. ❤

@LT103 aww yay just got to get through the tww now. I’ve had a temp rise for the last 4days so I’ve definitely ovulated.

@samantha06 sorry to hear that but it’s still early!! 🤞🤞

@Suki2020 not yesterday but I did today so I think that means prob count tomorrow as ovulation?? Dtd this morning so given it everything we can. Waiting game now!

Caved and tested this morning, bfn! Im six days untill af i wasnt expecting a bfp but i was hopful😅

@LT103 did you get your peak yesterday on OPK’s?

@Kalecat I can see it! Please update us when you've got a FRER!!!

[quote Crash1d]@samantha06 yes! So strange I'm the same. I'm 9DPO currently. Planning to test on the 1st of July. When are you testing ?[/quote]
Yep im due to test on the 1st too! I thought i ordered those first response 6 day early tests but i didnt they are the rapid response ones so more waiting for me. Feel so impatient!! Boobs have been super sensitive & abit sore, ive had mild cramping for more than a week now ... all good signs im hoping🤞

OMG does anyone else see these lines?? Edited the pics so you can see better. I'm only 8dpo and didn't even use FMU! I'm so happy I could cry but I don't wanna get my hopes up... will be buying a FRER ASAP!

@tofu35. Welcome. Fellow 11 July tester here. Fingers crossed. Almost into the 2ww.

Another passenger here, testing on 11th (a popular testing day in this thread).
