The July BFP bus PART 2 - All aboard the lucky magical number 7

[gillywillywoo]

The first bus is almost full up so lets all transfer on to this new shiny bus!!

The sun is out, the sky is blue, the birds are singing their songs... Now lets get some BFPs!

I leave for a few days and theres a whole new thread!?

Congratulations all those with BFPs!

I'm still sick and nauseous all day every day, travel sickness bands have helped a bit. AF was due on Sunday, no sign so far, tested yesterday and today and BFN . Not sure what's going on. Shall wait a week and see if AF or BFP arrive... The 2 week wait continues...

skylerrose how long have you been officially trying then if they won't count the past 2 years? Do you get any pains?

Oh lovely i feel your pain! chin up x

I'm calling it pregnancy limbo seatfor5! Care to share some crumpets? x

Oh yes please my Cm is now clean and no blood very odd! I do think its my body having a joke! although I am so smelling things I wouldn't normally Sainsburys this afternoon turn my stomach

Oh poo. Having stared at stick for 5 mins line still didn't magically appear.
Guess af will prob turn up tomorrow altho obviously I'm secretly hoping I'm still in with a chance coz I didnt use fmu

writerwannabe it is very possible lol and even longer probably if it wasn't for taking the pill for a couple of days to give AF a kicking and wake her up. I mean I'm still in this cycle at the moment (CD102) as I'm only spotting and you only count a new cycle from when you see red. But it is obvious that she's on her way as I'm feeling that ache. She's not going to be happy!

congrats jellybean. I hope af's visit doesn't have too much vengeance in it!

Another BFN from me this morning . 12DPO but AF not due till Monday, so maybe still too early...

I'm getting these crampy pains just like I did last time I was preg, but DH thinks this isn't our month. He also said that last time though.

There hasn't been a BFP around here for days! Come on somebody!

Hello again ladies. I've taken a couple of weeks off mn as I was feeling bit sad after an extra long 40 day cycle and thought if I had another one of there I'd miss a whole month bus. But I've been using a fertility monitor this month and I got a peak on day 14!!! Yay nb only got positive last month at day 28 so this is amazing and so happy so I thought I'd risk coming on to this bus. Taking a conservative estimate:
ScienceGeekGirl ttc#1 cycle 5, BFP 27/07/13

cd 31 for me and still no sign of af, don't know what's going on as opk's showed I did ov so shouldn't really be late. Still feel sick but my boobs aren't as sore as they were

Welcome back Science, hope this is your month

Fox you might get your bfp yet, the waiting around part is a killer though. It's driving me mad being late and still getting bfn's

I think I just accidentally gave away that I am TTC to one of my friends, mentioned my period and then mentioned that on the last pill I was on I never get periods... I made up a fluffy excuse about forgetting to take it a couple of days and that brings on a bleed. She'll see right through me, her next text was about baby stuff in Disney so she knows D'oh! Thankfully it was my bestie so I don't mind too much.

Fingers crossed Londa of all months for AF to be late! She better not be teasing you. And fingers crossed for you guys too Fox and Pixie. It ain't over till the red lady bleeds.

Oh Linda, I feel for you! Symptoms AND a late period, but BFNs!! Argh!

Disney I've told my 2 best friends, I'm useless at keeping things to myself. And my parents know. And, worst of all, my boss! Well I haven't told him in so many words but I told him about the mc to explain my days off work last month, so he probably has a good idea.

Yep Dosney I think my body is just making sure I have an eventful last month on the buses

I've told a couple of people (another friend who is TTC too) but my bestie will hate me (in a nice way) when I get pregnant, she's in Southampton and I'm in Aberdeen, so I'm keeping the news until I have my BFP. But like I say, she'll already know from little things I've said to her and like how I'm avoiding setting a date for going to Disneyland Paris with her cause I don't want to go if I'm pregnant.

Af visited me yesterday so im out this month. TTC #1. cant believe how hard it has been ...

Hi ladies - had to post as I need to talk to someone and think I'm going crazy. I have 35 day cycles so bit annoying when TTC! Only ten chances a yr etc. last night I was due to peak but couldn't test on my CBFM as was out at the 'window'. We are really busy household at the moment but DH knew it was the magic time. He decided he was too tired and didn't want too. I then stewed on it and flipped out, I didn't want TTC coming to this and feel bad and upset. I just frustrated that the windows of opportunity are actually quite small and it took us 5 years to conceive our DS. My DH is 41 and I'm 37 with birthday later this year so I feel the pressure of age too.

Please tell me I'm not the only one too lay it on the table to DH how important it is to me? I feel I'm turning in to a TTC nightmare! Feeling fed up and teary now.

totally normal Laptopgirl. That happened me and DH on cycle 3. By cycle 3 of trying DH felt that I was turning him into a performing monkey.

We had a falling out and we barely talked for a day or so. When the dust settled we talked it out and the conclusion we drew was that we both agreed that just having sex to TTC began to feel like a chore however, we also agreed it only felt that way for those few days around ovulation and the rest of the month that was just for fun felt amazing.

So the agreement we came to reach together was that although having sex on specific days for specific reasons was killing the romance the goal of what we wanted to acheive was so much greater and more important that it was worth those feelings of sometimes just going through the motions.

Ironically cycle 3 was the month I conceived although we sadly lost it a couple of weeks later

Hi everyone, hope you don't mind me hopping on.

We've been ttc since early December, with no luck. This would be #3 for me, but #1 for dh. The length of time it's taking as surprised both of us, especially when everyone around us seem to be getting pregnant fairly easy. I'm now on CD 28, but my cycles are irregular. I'm not holding out much hope for this month due to doing a test on Monday and getting a bfn.

Hi laptop girl. We were the same. I was running round when I had ewcm telling dh I was ovulating and we needed to act because it only lasted about a day, might as well of been talking to one of the dogs! I also tried to be seductive, but my husband thought thought I was messing around lol
Anyway after tantrums and tears (all me) this month we've been doing it every other day. We also got a game from ann summers because it was getting to the point where sex wasnt fun any more. My dh even said at one point it felt like I only wanted him for his sperm. ;-)

I can totally relate to this! TTC has put me off sex completely. My DP also told me he 'felt like a sperm bank'. Urggghhhh.

I want to say I'm not like this, but now I think about it we've not had sex since Ov time about 12 days ago. Prior to that we did it 5 times in a week. Oh...

It strikes me as a really weird way to go about having a family, sex. I mean, sex is something you do for fun. Having a baby is like the opposite of that - its a serious undertaking. And not very sexy. I feel like there should be some kind of assessment, somebody to certify that I'm ok to do this!

So yeah, sex for making babies. It doesn't seem logical.

Then again I guess you've got the pleasure pain thing.
Pleasure = sex (sometimes lol)
Pain = giving birth

I used to have quite a high sex drive but it's not like that anymore lol. Though the hot weather isn't helping

I must be messed up in the head coz I loved the pain of giving birth, was quite devastated when I had to have a c-section with my 2nd but even that was a great experience until he ended up poorly and in the neonatal unit
