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!

Blueamber have you done a pg test? I know a few people that had positive opk at the same time as a pos pg test. Don't want to get your hopes up just letting you know :-)

I second what Sarah said - I got a strong OPK when my period was due and I thought I was going mad until somebody told me it can indicate pregnancy!! I went out and bought a pregnancy test and BFP

Hi sarah and writer, I am definitely not pregnant - I took a few tests, latest being a week and a half after AF was du. Since last week have been having all signs of ov coming on again - including cervical position. So ov just didn't happen last month.

still nothing so I'm gonna hop onto the august bus congrats to all the bfp this month!

Congrats to the bfps
So I did (bloody expensive!) clear blue tests last night and this morning and both were bfns . AF is due in 3 days, and I'm feeling pretty premenstrual and I still like coffee, so I'm thinking I'm going to be getting on the August bus any minute...

This is my first month ttc (first time ever), so would welcome any and all tips please !!

Thanks!

Hello mighty there are lots of people that dont get +ves until after af due so there is still time. I would suggest having a oook on amazon for the cheapy tests. You can get the sensitive ones that are 10mlu for around £3.50 for 20. Or £8 for 50. They are just as sensitive but just dont have the allthe plastic round them. Or even superdrug own are cheaper than clearblue (ive just got my possible faint bfp on the superdrug ones) and are very sensitive. Also have you been using opk's or temping to check for ov? I did them for a couple of months just to check everything was working ok. Ironically this was my first month not using them, but i do still think they helped me.

Congrats to all the BFP's xxxx

Im out again :( tried so hard as well. Although only been trying hard a couple of months - haven't been careful etc since last July. Getting fed up now. Oh well dust myself down and try try try again. See some of you on the next bus x

mighty - although Clear Blue claim to be able to predict pregnancy up to 4 days prior to AF this isn't always the case.

I had been testing for a week prior to my period being due but they all came back as BFN's until the Clear Blue finally turned positive the day before my period was expected. Don't lose hope yet. x x

Hi BartBaby, I will definitely look into the cheapie tests! I've been using persona for a number of years and it tells me when I am ovulating, so as far as I know, all is working... I do have a tilted cervix though, which can apparently make conception more difficult... And I'm 38, so that's another challenge.

I will be positive- it's the first month trying, so I will try not to obsess/panic

Writer- do you still like coffee? My sister reckons that if I'm still into coffee (I only allow myself one a day though) then I can't be pregnant...

I have never, ever liked coffee anyway

The smell of it is revolting!!! I have never ever tasted coffee and have no intention of ever doing so

I can just picture me now having coffee cravings during pregnancy

mighty I love coffee but in first pregnancy coudn't stand the smell or taste. Pretty sure I went off it in 2nd pregnancy too. This time round I have no reaction at all and I'm still drinking my 1 cup every morning (of course that might all change next week or the week after when the nausea kicks in - ony got the BFP last week so it's very early days!)

on day 9po now nothing significant happening temp still high, will try not to test until 12dpo so clinging to back of bus still you never know. nothing exciting happening come on i wanna see another bfp girls.

AF was due on the 26/07 so im 2 days late but got bfn, im clinging onto this bus with my fingertips. I dont even know what im feeling since i havent concieved before, my boobs are definatly tender but i sorta feel crampy..but not crampy it sounds weird but it feels like gas, ive had it for 3 days now. Anyway i have a feeling ill be on the august bus next month :(

I did a test today and ive convinced myself a seen a line..although the more i look at this picture the more i dont see a line. its funny what pure hope will do to you :(

There is def a line there. Did it come up within 3 mins? If its after it may be an evap line. Best to test again in a couple days time if af still hasnt shown her face

Yeah i had a peek just before 3 mins and it was there..i think ill try a digital in a few days and see what happens! thankks :) sarahb8990

Hmm needing to pee all the time is that a common symptom at 9dpo

Congrats Nataaalee (sorry about the spelling - I'm on my phone.

Still no AF 3 days late by my reckoning but I peed on my last stick 2 days ago (BFN). I've ordered some more so will have to wait til they turn up next week.
I'm not hopeful I think maybe I just didn't Ov again this month. I never did get a very strong + on the ov sticks. I've also been having very mild stabby pains in my abdomen especially when I was shifting things around today..

Vicky - I started peeing all the time from about a week before my period was due!! It absolutely drove me mad and it was the first thing that made me think, "Could I be?"

vikki ive also been peeing more for the last few days. Could be a good sign

Stitch-like crampy feeling in my pelvic area. Bladder issue, pregnancy cramps (haha! wishful thinking) or pre-AF? I've been wearing liners for a few days for no reason and now my yoni is not very happy.. I don't want to go to work without wearing one incase AF turns up with a vengeance.
Sorry for all the TMI

Well i sorta did a ic this morning as boobs still tender and might be imagining more blue veins in them as well as areola seems to be bigger, sleeping in (but do have a cold) weeing a lot. I did test and after 10 mins there appeared to a very vague line. Now I am abroad, I have 2 ICs left and 1 clear blue digital. What should I do girls wait until tomorrow and keep using ICs and see if its darker and if so then the clearblue or what. I wish I had held out and could be more sure but am 10dpo so wont be clear. Advice please

I'm out, got AF on thursday with full flood force. now on CD 43 and counting - pissed off doesn't even cover it.
