The July BFP bus - all aboard the lucky number 7

[sleepingdragon]

Come join us on the July bus - with its assortment of good luck charms, lots of cake and hopefully a busload of BFPs.

Hello everyone sorry I haven't been around for while, I needed to little break after af got me last week.

I'm on cd8 today and just waiting for my opk to arrive.

Good luck to everyone in 2ww.

Thatssofunny, sounds like you caught the right time. I think with them advanced opks the first day you test they use as a low anyway? Maybe that's why you didn't get any highs. It was the same with me. I got three lows, but from reading the lines on the stick I saw there was a slight lh line, so I knew ov wouldn't be far away. I went straight to peak/ smily face on the fourth day.

Woohoo my first smiley face!

blueamber I'm hoping so. I put another potential bbt rise for tomorrow into Fertilityfriend and based on that, it put ov day on cd15. My dad has been most unhelpful on the phone, telling me that I "just need to relax". Unlike my mum, he's not aware that we've been trying on and off for the past 2 1/2 years and trying properly since January. Both my sister and I were "happy accidents".

On the non-ttc front, we are having our house done up and I've spent the week choosing colours for the hallway and thinking about which stones I want for the new driveway. Now I just need to win the lottery to get the money to have our extension built properly. I want a proper big bedroom with an ensuite shower room,...and a skylight. It's also supposed to lead out into the garden.

Welcome to all the newcomers.

Congratulations "LittleMachine". Get to it!

Thanks Thats! Glad we had sex last night and will be getting down to it tonight. It seems more exciting than just lines!

congratulations littlemachine

good luck thatssofunny sounds like you have dtd at the right time I won't give up dtd though, I think I've given up to early some months so this month im going to try and keep it up until af arrives or get a bfp. I also think I've been making the mistake of going to the bathroom to soon after dtd so going to lay still for at least an hour

I read on the cb website the other day that sperm only has 15cm to swim until they meet there destination but because they are so small it's the same as an human swimming 64km.

Hello, can I join you lovely ladies please? Just got kicked off the June bus.

I'm bleeding properly now. Has anyone had this before? It's just 4 days after ovulation. I'm really worried something's wrong.

Ah yes, stats!

Ttc #1, cycle 1, bfp due 10th July.

I hope I did that right

blueamber Are you sure that you didn't just ovulate earlier?

Hi blueamber.. No idea really sorry.
Are your cycles normally regular??

It's my first cycle after stopping the pill, but I'm sure I had ov 4-5 days ago. I'm not sure if it warrants a visit to the GP on Monday or not.

It can take some time for your body to settle into its own rhythms and I don't think it would be unusual to bleed a bit randomly at first blue. That said, if you're worried there's no harm in getting yourself checked. Was it bleeding after sex? I had that this month, possibly just from being a bit enthusiastic.

Blue I've been off the pill since December and I think my cycles are only JUST starting to get back to normal.
Personally I wouldn't bother going to the doctor because they will probably tell you this is normal after coming off the pill... But if you're really worried then maybe go just to put your mind at ease xx

Thanks, littlemachine. It wasn't after sex, it just happened. It's really frustrating my cycle has been such a mess. First six weeks before ov happened and now this!

Hi all, had a little break and feeling more positive this month. also had a scan and nothing wrong physically so just waiting to do blood tests now. However DTD this month off to a bad start as have thrush - first time since repeat episodes during pregnancy with DD). Also getting very confused with trying out IC OPKs this month - don't seem to be seeing any line at all unless I really strain my eyes.

Question - with OPKs do people test in morning or later in day? I've read that it should be later in day as that's when your surge first appears but also the tests say to not have urinated for 4 hours beforehand (which would be pretty impossible for weak bladdered me) so thinking morning is probably the better option. When do others test?

Good luck to all DTD this weekend.

captain i tested this month at about 4pm ish. Im always up during the night for the toilet anyway! When i got my +ves this month i didnt leave it 4 hours. More like 2, or 3 if i could hold on! Lol.

I did write out a longet post this morning but the damn thing didnt go on properly so hello to the new ladies. Sorry af has got you. Hopefully this bus will be lucky for you.

Im 4dpo so nothing new here really. Its DH birthday today so had some family round (inc his sisters 8month old - v cute!) and im shattered now!

I got my smiley face at 11 this morning. It was my fmu though.

Captain I usually test at about 6am during the week. Anything else is just not possible for me (and once I get a smiley I'll try when I'm back home,...although that might have to be a little after I get back). I leave the house at 7.15am and don't get back before 6pm most days. I generally can't just go and pee whenever I want at school, so I can go at break and lunchtime and then have to wait until the end of school,...really need to pee before I leave work, since commute takes me about an hour. Don't want to test at work.
So far, that's been absolutely fine and I've had a smiley face each cycle I've been using them. However, I am using cb, because I can't be bothered with the hassle of comparing lines.

After a week of very painful boobs my AF showed up yesterday....but on the plus side it means I still get to stay on the July bus eh? Since I clearly have no clue what's going on with my cycle at the moment I will update the passenger list and take a wild guess at my date for a BFP.

Hello,
Can I join please? I finished the pill on 23rd May. Was keeping my eye out last month, although I knew it would be highly unlikely that I would get pregnant on my first try, and unfortunately AF arrived yesterday.

Quite glad it arrived so quick after finishing the pill though, and i'm hopeful that means my cycle is back to normal.

Info is:
impatientlywaiting, ttc#1, cycle2, bfp due 18th July

Thanks

hi ladies, may I join this bus please? I bring though it will go really fast in my current state. af arrived this morning and I'm pretty upset because we did SMEP really well (i thought) last cycle and it didn't work. I'm starting to think something may be wrong and we need to see the doctor.
my stats are LeeHandy ttc#1 cycle 9, bfp due 19 July.
