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 :)

That's useful to know about the end part getdown. Although we're going to Paris for 1/2 term, so I could have done with this cycle being either v long or v short, so as not to have a period in the middle of the holiday! Having said that, here's hoping & praying that none of us have a period this month!

Hi getdown!
Yep grapefruit juice is supposed to make a more.. Ahem .. Welcome environment for the sperm you see!
I'm sortof on the tww but there is only the tiniest of tiny chances as me and do were really ill during OV.
So I am trying to not get excited and just wait for AF and then really go for it next month.

Does anyone get the same symptoms for every pregnancy?

I had a mc at five weeks two years ago and I felt like hell on earth, had to have a nap at 5-7 pm every night, nipples that felt like they'd been sunburned and nauseos from 8pm until 1am every day!
I don't know, I just feel like I won't think I'm pg again until I get those exact symptoms if you know what I mean!

I found my symptoms were less severe with my last pregnancy (that I went on to miscarry at 7 weeks) than with my first that went on to be DS. But loads of people say every pregnancy is different anyway e.g. nauseous for one, no nausea for another.

Cool thanks lady!

Hello - can I join? I haven't been on a bus before but it seems like a friendly place to be!

Welcome Izzy. Looks good to me. Think there are a few of us post-mc ladies so hopefully we can support each other through the mentalness. A July baby would be lovely, my DS was May and one I lost was due April so think I only do spring/summer babies!

Hi there Izzy

Sorry to hear about your MC.

So around 20th Oct is your possible ov. date?

Hello ladygonegaga - sorry to hear about your mc, it is rubbish isn't it, but I've found so much easier being in touch with other ladies on here who have been through the same thing. There are some amazing people on here

getdown - unfortunately I seem to have a short luteal phase so not expecting ov until about 23rd Oct (cd18). However I am religiously taking the b6 and also going to see an acupuncturist for the first time next week. She was fairly confident she could help with the LP so fx ov might happen earlier, or LP might be longer. We'll see.

Hello Izzy welcome aboard. mmm wine and smoked salmon. Remind me why we're ttc? So many yummy things you have to give up.

Hope everyone has enjoyed their weekend and is ready for the week ahead. We had fab weather here today. I spent the afternoon weeding the garden, then in a fit of being incredibly virtuous, actually cleaned my bike and hopefully sorted out a clunky noise it was making.

Hey Ladies..
Moving over from July bus, but haven't got much free time in the next few weeks - but if next person can add me, would be really grateful
Don't think this will be a lucky bus for me, as i am away from DH for a week when its SWI-ing time. Boo

Good luck ladies

herbalist has said to do a pregnancy test tomorrow to be sure, but that if i'm not Pg that the bleeding is a sign that my hormones have had a kick up the backside. She expects my cycle to come down to 25-30 days and that i should ovulate this cycle with the mix she has given me.
We had a long conversation about how my body was tense and i'm noticing changes that show i'm more relaxed. Have also had a migraine today, my migraines are hormonal and i haven't had one for a while so have definitely had a hormone shift in the last couple of days.

I've lost a couple of months ttc when DP was away for work but he's changed jobs now so it's no longer a problem we have.....but i do know how frustrating it is.

Hi ladies, how are we all today?

If anyone is interested you can see my charts on FF here

Anyone else like to share?

Morning. Mine are [[http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2fee7f
here]], temps all over the place since the mc but cross hairs still in. Also my waking up time is ridiculously non-consistent due to non-sleeping toddler!

Yours look very neat getdown!

Morning LadyGoneGaga sorry to see your MC chart Here's hoping for this month for you.

Your stats look promising!!

Do you think mine are neat?

good morning girls!! Well, I'm finally joining the July OFFICIALLY now! after spotting for 12 hours, I had 24 hours of quite intense bleeding and went back to spotting for the past 2 days.
My temp are a bit weird... can I ask you girls when you tend to take them? My problem is that DS tends to wake up at least once per night so I NEVER get 8 hours of sleep in one go...for example last night I went to bed at midnight only for ds to wake up at 2.55 and then again at 3.30 so I think I went back to sleep at around 3.45 and then ,my alarm went off at 7 as usual...I took the temp at 7 but was that enough sleep to get a temp????just a bit more than 3 hours sleep

you only need 3 hours, Luce. And my DS is rubbish sleeper so i often get less so my temps are generlly a bit mountainous. But you can still recog the pattern generally.

I don't think you put yourself on the list though!

LadyGoneGaga thanks for that!!! I know, I havne't put myself on the list yet because I don't know when I'm expecting AF for my periods have been all over since January!!! anything between 20 and 37 days...

Hi Luce2006 my cycles are all over the place too really, they seem to be getting shorter.

Were about 44 days at the beginning of the year, last cycle was 27 days!

Do you know what CD you are on at the moment?

I have similar problem to you regarding sleep - have a toddler who can get me up in the night, but as Lady has said, you only really need 3 hours before you take your temp. I have mine messed up by insomnia occasionally. Sometimes I just scrub the reading if I've had a very bad night, it doesn't usually mess up the chart if you miss out the odd day.

Hi all,

It seems I read FF wrong. Now it thinks I haven't ovulated yet.
I don't think I did at all last month . As I was entering the data I kept getting depressing messages telling me that it can't interpret my data and could I please check I've entered it right. I know I have.

How do I set up a pretty page like getdown and Lady so I can share them?

Oh sorry to hear that eskarina don't panic though, it can sometimes take a while to pick up ov. It does it in retrospect, sometimes 6 days after it actually happened

Also it might be you have a very slow rise in temp. That can happen.

On FF go to "sharing" then Home Page Setup, you can add your cycles one by one, and you get a web link to your "home page" at the top.

Copy the link here, we will have a look for you xxx

Go to the left Sharing/Home page set up. There will be a link there. At the bottom you can select which charts to publish and also select the auto update button then it will just update every time you enter data. Let us know if you are struggling!

FF does keep changing it's mind a lot though. Odd error message to get though

Esk's chart

Can anyone else make any more sense of it than FF? I shall hold tight onto the idea that maybe I have vv small temp rises, but I've recognised ovulation myself in other months (before I started charting) and know I get bloated and sore boobs, so am fairly sure I didn't last month and haven't (yet) this month. I also had a very weird bleeding pattern last month, so really not sure what to make of it.

But to put it into perspective, I've just had a text from a friend who is early pg with her 2nd, having had a mc at ~8 weeks in July to say that she's bleeding again, having scan tomorrow, outlook not good.

Hi Eskarina sorry to hear about your friend hope she's ok...

The July chart is yours, right? That looks perfect to me, you definitely ov'd that cycle

your current chart - looks like you haven't ov'd yet, so it could be any day now

The big dip - did you take it early that day?

Looks like your thermometer is only accurate to 1 decimal point, you really need one accurate to 2 decimal points.

Hi i'd like to jump on board if poss. Am hoping to get pregnant with #2, just had a vey strange bleed though with negative tests, am waiting another week to try again, so unsure if i've jumped on a stop to late yet. (fngers crossed) i have no stats and to be honest have no idea what any of them mean. i haven't been to dr's yet although been off pill since dec, and had no problems with #1. Am new on here and some posts look like a foreign language.

welcome cep

ask away if there's anything you need to know!

I've heard today that a friend has had an MC so feeling melancholy here.
