The July Bus

[KnitterNotTwitter]

Welcome to the July Bus - a place for anyone TTC a July 2011 baby...

Ding Ding... the bus is ready to depart :)

Oops should be by then!

oh KLou i hope the vet can give you some good news tomorrow. In the last few months our dog was harder and harder work and yet I'd still rather have her here with me. Will be thinking of you and checking back on the thread for news.

I understand the frustration of those with long cycles too......i'm hoping that my herbal stuff is going to reduce mine but as i had a second 'AF' on day 9 of this cycle i'm not really sure where i stand with what cycle day i'm on and i suppose I won't really know until i have another full cycle (unless by some miracle i am PG this time). The wait and the feeling of not getting as many chances as other people gets me really down sometimes. I almost feel like getting AF every 28 days for a while until falling pregnant would be preferable to this seemingly endless wait from day 35 onwards until AF turns up.

Have had a lovely evening, parents came round for a Hallowe'en 'party tea' and DS really enjoyed it.

Have you tried charting, Queenrollo? I have longish cycles and also unpredictable and they would drive me insane otherwise. At least I know when I definitely ov so I know when to expect AF and when I can test .

I bought a BBT but haven't managed to keep taking my temp as i'm sometimes woken very early by commuting DP getting up/leaving and sometimes disturbed by a DS having bad dreams unsettled sleep so my temps were all over the place, and not really a good indicator of what was going on.
If i get AF this cycle then i'm going to try the charting again, now the clocks have changed i find mornings easier so may be able to chart better.

Give it a go Queen. Mine are a bit all over the place due to odd wake up times due to a non-sleeping 2 year old! But still can just about recognise pattern along with charting all the other signs. It really helps me - are you signed up to Fetrility Friend? Takes all the hard work out of it IMO!

Hello,

I am just jumping on here as I was on the wrong bus

Having decided to start ttc this month instead of next if I was sucessful it would be a July not an August baby D'oh!

Might be back on the August bus soon enough but thought I'd say hi. Due AF next weekend and am going to try to resist any testing till Friday...

queenrollo Re temp measuring - I only did it for a month but it was a bit difficult for mr too with shift working. This may sound mad, but I set an extra alarm for my earliest getting up time (4am ) and then I could just go back to sleep and read the temp off my digital thermometer later.

No idea how I would do it now with my 13 month old random alarm clock though...Although he mostly sleeps till at least 5 so am thinking of trying it next month

Good luck everyone.

Just to add - i have a toddler and take my temps at different times too, there is definately still a pattern like lGG says, this is my second month and its working out really well.

Well im super pissed off :( according to the stats today is testing day but of course i started testing on 11 dpo, have had plenty of positives off 10miu IC's but FR are still coming up negative. Did another test this morning and it was so faint you could hardly see it :( I would have expected after 4 days for the hcg to have increased enough to be picked up by other brands of hpt's AF is officially late today and i know im pg i also know because this happened last month that its going to be another chemical - soooo fed up!

Temps are still up - although dropped a tiny bit this morning so i guess coupled with the super faint positive this morning (as opposed to quite a strong result yesterday, have put pics on my profile) that the hormones are on the wane.

Might not get on another bus for a while after this as i just hate the crushing disappointment of getting pg but not actually being able to keep it.

Just removing my name from the stats - well done to all the bfp's wishing you all a lucky bus and i hope not to see you on one soon!

So sorry to hear that roseyposey I don't want to give you false hope, but you have got a positive so it's not over till it's over.

Having said that it does sound similar to what happened to me - got a Clearblue BFP showing 1-2 weeks on day of AF due. I then did another one about a week later and it still only said 1-2 weeks, which made me a bit suspicious that HCG was not on the rise

I got a negative on a first response by "5 weeks pregnant" and by then I knew all was not well. Started bleeding that same day

It is crushingly disappointing, I really feel for you. Maybe the next bus will be our bus - hope so. Take care xxx

Getdown thanks for your kind words this is exactly what happened last month too - and the positive should be really much stronger today given that i started testing positive 4 days ago but instead its barely visible on a super sensitive 10 miu stick.

Maybe next month? I dont really see me being lucky enough to get pg three months in a row though - maybe next year is more likely - fingers crossed though, Good luck :)

Hey lovely ladies

Sorry i've been absent for ages but I've been trying not to think about TTC this cycle.... According to my magic spreadsheet I ovulated on Saturday so we managed to SWI on Thursday night but then I went away from Friday morning to Sunday night and was too knackered last night - so if anything does happen this month it'll be a miracle!! Haven't done any POAS so no idea if i actually have ovulated yet this month...

Thought I'd do a quick tidy up of the stats - I've moved a few more people down to Missing In Action which I hope is ok...

Hello ladies

As I was sat ?working hard? at my desk I suddenly has the cleaver idea to work out how many days into my cycle I was when I found out I was pregnant with my DS. I realise this is a daft question but is it likely to be the same again? I did a test yesterday and got a BFN but tomorrow I?ll be on day 32 which is when I found out before. I must say I did have signs before, I woke up and something was defiantly different - well fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Getdown I'm so sorry to hear about your mc, I'm sending you lots of hugs.

AF was due yesterday but no sign yet. My cycle has been up to 35 days in the past so I decided I wouldn't test until Thursday but then I had a really vivid dream on Sat night where I was pregnant so I did a test yesterday morning and got a BFN.

Me and DH both had really bad flu this month so there wasn't much SWI-ing so I'm not surprised by the BFN. I think being sick might have delayed ovulation hence AF not arriving yet. But until it arrives I am still going to hope that this might be my month! So I won't leave this bus until it arrives.

I am surrounded by pregnant colleagues at work, it seems that someone is announcing their pregnancy everyday at work and every time I go on facebook someone else is saying they are expecting. I had today off work and watched This Morning and Holly Willoughby announced she was pregnant on there, I can't escape! All I could think was "I wonder how long she'd been trying for?".

Hmm, temps gone v high now, but feel crampy and craving chocolate/sweet things so I reckon AF is on her way. I wish this wasn't so bloody confusing. [grump]

crampy and craving stuff might be a good thing Eskarina? What about your boobs (sorry I never normally ask someone this question in RL!)

I find the sure fire symptoms for me are sore boobs (esp round the sides), and extreme hunger.

Hoping for you. When you going to test?

Aaaargh, I did a test at 11dpo when I promised myself I wouldn't! Why why why!? as you can probably guess it was a BFN. I must not do another test until at least Wednesday which is AF due day.

I'm still clinging on with hope to my sore boobs (not literally) especially now that getdown has said about them hurting around the sides because that is exactly what mine are like!

Fingers crossed for you Eskarina, high temps sound hopeful. :)

Off to the naughty corner MrsP81!!!

Seriously though, I know how tempting it is! Hopefully you will get a BFP by wednesday.

You have promising boobs (sorry that sounds really ) any other symptoms?

Not really got any other symptoms - I had lots of crampy feelings over the last few days but that seems to have died down now. I'm charting so I'll wait and see what my temps do tomorrow.

Hello ladies, thanks so much for letting me stay on the bus, even though I've been very dormant, I've been mega busy for a month- but actually quite glad to have something to take my mind off this waiting game!
I was away from dh for the whole of the swi -ing time (gutted)
So actually feeling like I don't have a hope for July
We did it before I left (day 9) & came back (day 16) so you never know, but not holding out much hope, think i 'll be off to august bus on fri!
Sorry again for losing touch

annoyingly, my boobs are now fine. They hurt like any thing whilst I was away last week to the point where I was telling DH the right one felt like it had been punched. Then they started leaking, just a tiny bit (sorry, TMI!). But now they're fine despite regular prodding. Of course they went back to normal only after I'd googled around for "sore boobs not pregnant" and got results about cancer and other nasties. I shouldn't really have gone there but google is almost as tempting as a pee stick...

I'm going to try to hold out until either wed or even better thurs to test again because then I'll be late even on when FF thinks I ovulated.
I am rather peckish though

Gah. DH read that last post and then did start prodding me in the boob asking if it helped with making me feel pregnant again. I think he needs a basic biology lesson...

Omg this has been a long month. Trying not to obsess this month so am staying away from charts and just trying to focus on regular sex for the next 2.5 wks

Starting physio this week since my arm Is still weak after shingles and having some reiki

Hi all,

Had the best birthday yesterday as my likkle doggy is fine (phew).
Vet doesn't know what was wrong, but it had miraculously almost cleared up, and she's given us some ointment. I am a very happy girlie again :)

I did a cheeky test and is BFN. Hardly surprised as not due AF til 8 Nov but was hoping as am approx 9-12 DPO. Not 100% when as different symptoms at different times but was around last weekend.

Have decided am not going to do any more until when I am due as don't want the heartache for no reason!!

Hope it's a sticky one for you rosieposey x
