July Bus 🚌

Hi All

Hope it’s ok to join, I’m 31 and TTC baby number 2. I have a 3 year old little boy. We have been trying for the last few months but only really taking it seriously this month.

I have long cycles which usually average about 34 days except last month, which was particularly cruel and ended up being 39 days. AF arrived after much symptom spotting and a number of negative tests.

I have promised myself I won’t test until 11th July.

These arrived today for me! CD4. Been very light but today is like a demonic version of AF! Spotty chin (never happens), raging cramps and icky tummy!

Anyone started getting spots? Just washed my face ready for the evening to find i have several pimples on my chin area... not usually where i break out either.. 🤔

Hi all,

Hope you don’t mind me jumping on the July bus 😊.

A little bit of background: I’m 31 and DH is 30. This will be our first baby. I’ve been tracking BBT since Dec via my Natural Cycles app to prevent pregnancy. We switched to ‘plan’ mode this month so it’s our first cycle TTC, and I’m currently on CD17. Entering my TWW and AF is due around 6th July. I’m hoping to wait to test until I’m late, we'll see if that happens!

Good luck to you all - I hope this is your month 🙂. It’s nice to have people to share this with, especially if you’re keeping TTC a secret from everyone!

@LT103 yeah definitely keep testing today and tomorrow or until you go back down to 0. I think I missed my peak this cycle

Im going to jump on bandwagon here. I got my first positive opk today. I guess I need to test more frequently to not miss peak. I was thinking twice more today then 3 times tomorrow?

@Suki2020 I’m not my co use. This is my first time tracking my cycle. I would guess by temp and opk you ovulated on 22nd? Day after opk peak and also spike in temp?

Hi ladies, do you mind if I join. I’m a little confused this cycle. One app says I ovulated on 21st June and the other app says I haven’t ovulated yet. It’s only my second cycle using OPK’s but we’ve been ttc since last sept. This will be our first baby. Today I’ve had another slight rise in temp which makes that 3days in a row, also had EWCM sat night and slight cramping. I’ve attached my chart and opk, do you ladies think I’ve ovulated?

Im feeling super impatient too! I thought i ordered a first response 6 days before test, but i ordered rapid response which is the day of missed AF! still got cramping, boobs feel tender still, also had a few spots appearing🤔 does seem early to be pms symptoms but im not getting hopes up! Might test at the weekend as im so inpatient haha

All good here. Cd12 and still waiting on a positive opk. Giving oh a break today as been dtd lots and worried now I won’t ovulate til later and it will all be wasted 🤣🤣 hoping for a change in sticks over next couple of days 🤞

Hi! Im totally new at this, still getting up to speed with the abbreviations and lingo!! I think I'm in my first cycle ttc first ever baby. Had my copper IUD removed during my last period, I THINK today is ovulation day, we DTD a few times during the last week, will see if we can make it happen today too 😅 I should be testing around 8ish July. It would be mind blowing to conceive on my first ever unprotected cycle so will try my best to be patient but here's hoping!

@samantha06 desperate to POAS 😂. I had some cramping at 4 and 5 dpo, now 8 dpo today so I'm going to test on Friday or Saturday I think...

@samantha06 Very impatient. On CD4 and still on my period. I shagged the life out of my husband earlier this month from the moment I came off contraception and it was all a waste 😂
Although I am looking forward to actually using OPKs.
How are you?

Good morning ladies, how is everyone feeling today😊

Hey can I join please?
So I had my coil removed yesterday and I'm due to ovulate in a few days, I was lucky to conceive my little boy a day before my coil removal last time so fingers crossed for this time.
I will be testing beginning of July, sending baby dust to everyone 👶🏻

🤣 ahh Brill hopefully a good sign for us both! Fingers crossed. Hate waiting I am so impatient! Good luck to you too! And everyone else 💜

Af in 9 days even🤪 can anyone tell ive just got a new phone🥴🤦‍♀️

My auto correct phone, I've typed two diff things above^^
I stopped taking to pill start of apirl, started trying mid/end may, Af arrived start of june!
AF due in 6 days but hoping its a bfp and NOT pms symptoms 🤞🤞

Exactly the same as me! I stopped the pill in april and we didnt start trying straight away as i wanted to wait for everything to return to normal! Baby no.3 for us🥰
We started trying end of may/june and af blessed me beginning of june! So this month is my first full month. I just checked my app and had read it wrong af due in 6 days😬
I also have had cramping for about a week and tender boobs! I also hope its a bfp and not AF! Good luck♥️

@samantha06 hello you are similar to me! Trying for number 3! How long have you been trying for?
I'm about 5dpo and crampy for a few days, sore boobs etc! Just hope its bfp and not af! 9 days until af due according to an app! Xx

Aww thankyou! Im hoping it is, 2nd month of trying after a very heavy period last month🤞 been off the pill since March😬 haha. My eldest is gona be 6 in aug, youngest turned 2 beginning of june! Its so hard to wait !! I think i almost preferd the surpirse your pregnant 🤣 i was 11 weeks with my 2nd when i found out! Whole pregnancy flew by haha. Best of luck, i will keep an eye on this thread for you and your BFP!❤🥰🥰

@samantha06 It's crazy isn't it. Now I'm in my 30s it's like oh maybe we should plan one! Good luck!! You're further in your cycle than me so I'll be looking for you.

[quote zippityzip]@Crash1d And thank you! I have two DCs with DH but they were a result of antibiotics on the pill, and a failed coil. We've never actually tried. This is all new to me!! [/quote]
Yes me too! Never actually 'tried' im ttc baby no.3 and my two were pill babies haha!🤭
