July Bus to BFP land with onward flights to Thailand at TTC Airport

[TheGrandHighWitch]

Hi everyone, I know this is probably a bit early (since it isn't July yet) but I thought I would start a new thread for those who lost their tickets for previous busses and for those who are beginning their bus journey now. Please feel free to add your stats to the list and grab a good seat while you can. Best of luck to everyone TTC and I look forward to getting many BFP's posted on here.

chillipopcorn I was contraception free for a year with a previous partner, no pregnancy. One well timed bd (do we use bd as an acronym on here?) and I was upduffed

with my husband I mean, not the ex fortunately

Hi everyone and thanks Aprilray for the stats. I don't mind at all that you did them. I was trying to update them daily when I catch up on the laptop but got a bit busy. Welcome to all new passengers and nice to see some familiar faces from the June bus although I wish it were under better circumstances iyswim.

Sorry you are still feeling rough laurano81, hopefully you will feel better soon and be on your way to a march baby with us. I have read about Agnus Castus and considered adding it to my ttc arsenal so to speak. I may do that if it is a no go this month.

So far this cycle I have been taking daily 1000mg evening primrose oil which has definitely made a difference to my cm. I am considering upping the dose though to see if it helps more. I am on cd13 and although still on 'high' on my clearblue monitor I did a IC opk at half two which is almost positive. The test line is only barely lighter than the control line so am hoping that means it will be positive tomorrow and I will get a peak in the morning. It may seem obsessive to test twice a day but I figure if the LH surge occurs after my clearblue test then I may not pick it up until the next morning. The afternoon test is helping me narrow down timescales lol. We DTD last night but my husband has a groin injury so hoping he can soldier on as it were over the next few days.

For the poster who asked above re pre-seed, I haven't used it yet due to the £££ it costs. Between the basal thermometer, opk's, clearblue fertility monitor test sticks and the evening primrose oil, I have probably spent enough money on ttc stuff for this month. I did get some lemsip all in one (that is revolting by the way) to help with cm and have bought a fresh bottle of pink grapefruit juice today in anticipation of ovulation.

I have also read that it is good to orgasm after dtd as it can help move the sperm into the womb so it can get where it needs to go. Not sure how true that is but probably worth a shot if I can be bothered after.

Hi all :)

Sports day is over!!! Af has left I think so we will be dtd tonight... first day since the mc. I'm nervous :/

We're going out for a lovely meal with lots of wine so that will help.

Hope all are ok :)

PickledPorcupine I am so sorry to hear you are being investigated for endometriosis, you poor poor thing. I really hope everything is ok and that they are only being careful xx

Welcome Notoasthere, scottishbride & LadyNovember

Kitty my temps went down from 36.9 Cd1,-36.62 Cd2,-36.47 CD 3,-36.41 cd4....I do get one day usually during AF when my temps go up! I will let you know if it happens again this month...How is your rash/hives now? Have you changed anything lately to have brought them on? I hope it clears up,...when I was preg it was more like red blobs, and my skin was very sensitive!

Treaclepie19 I hope you are ok lovely lady xx (((Hugs)))

Kurama men are funny! They have to be in the mood, but then they don't think about us being the same! At the start of TTC I told DH, that I was OV. & he was like oh I'm too tired tonight! I explained to him, but he was still too tired! I said fine! When I am upset about AF coming & no BFP! Then you well have to put up with me! I felt like I was begging for sex! He wasn't long understanding then! x Hols next week are great timing for Ov! Yay!

Rainbow I feel the same watching OBEM! I think one day it will be me & DH! Fx for us all xx

April I asked my DH to get his checked if we don't get a BFP this month...he said yes, but I hope he means it!

cinnamongreyhound Fx I think men just don't get it! I got really annoyed with my DH before over something like that! I was like we need to DTD today, and he was like, oh I'm too tired! Tomorrow! I was like NO! The egg will have left the buliding by then! He then rolled over, & said I'm too tired again! I felt so mad! I said to myself 'FFS! The one time we need to DTD, you don't want to!' I actually felt when I told him that I was fertile! it turned it off ! He denies that! but I really think it did! He used to joke are you ovulating! He wants a baby, as much as I do, but I feel the thought of BD just didn't do it for him...We both decided that I should keep the details to myself & we just have sex! It has worked out much better for us, and I don't feel so annoyed with him! x

Cpt1 Fx that when you DTD it will be enough! x It is hard TTC when life happens! x

Blueskygirl30 Don't worry! I bet if you get a BFP! Your Dh will be delighted! x

Notoast I get Ovulate pain, & it's not just a stitch/twinge! I really feel it! It can be quiet painful, but it only lasts a few hours! Thankfully! x

thegrandhighwitch yes orgasming after is better, confirmed by my miscarriage nurse :)

Re lube, we use conceive plus, goes a very long way and lasts months (had ours six months we've caught so far and worked every time

Hi everyone! Sorry i have been a bit rubbish with posting- not getting enough time! Hope tonight goes well treacle!

DH and i dtd last night and due to ov around Sunday so thinking we may as well do it tonight, sat and Sunday- any thoughts on this?

Hope you're all enjoying a sunny Friday! Im just in from work but in again tomorrow :-( xx

......and we've still got an almost full tube I forgot to add! Probably used 5 times a month when needed :)

Perfect LP, also Monday if you can jic little eggy has a delayed start :)

GrandHighWitch glad you don't mind, I know you mentioned having IT problems before. I can be your assistant stats lady I'm on CD10 and still getting 'low' readings.

Laurano that all sounds pretty complicated with your herbs. Mine are all mixed together (8 different types). Went to collect them today and was expecting little sachets or something but it's a big bag of what looks like pot pourri- will be interesting! Got DHs results today (could have paid extra for a consultation but decided to rely on Dr Google) learnt that the word for normal sperm is Normozoospermia...all good anyway which is one thing to cross off the list. DH said it wasn't that bad. Hopefully your DH won't have to go along anyway and this will be your month.

Have a lovely evening and weekend everyone

Thanks choccy! Xx

good news, April! Hope you have a lovely weekend too! X

Lol choccy i never got a false pos on mine. i never got anything resembling a bloody +. would have been nice. why would i slap you?

Thanks laura :)

I can't wait to go out tonight!
And dtd tonight will probs do me good. I have been having some very odd sexy dreams haha.

Just to add, i think orgasming after DH helped us conceive.

Because I said the opposite kurama! :)
Have you never had a positive then? Are you not ov-ing (sorry, I've been gone a whole so can't remember!) x

Sorry you're stuck MrsG, did they say why? I hope it all sorts itself out soon! x

Brummiegirl, sorry about you MC xx Fx for BFP's & March Babies!! x

Welcome chillipopcorn x

I usually test for ovulation with my OPK' between 12-4pm, I use the True OPK', I got them on Amazon...I fiind them really good & I always get a + the day before, or even a couple of hours before I ovulate..last month I got a +opk at 12am, and I had ovualte pain at 10pm that night! I temp too, & check CM, so they defo work...I really think they are fab! You get 30 strips for £10!

Treaclepie19 Yay AF has left! Yahoo! x That sounds lovely! Enjoy x A few sips of & you will be fine! x

Aprilray Haha I tried to pronounce that! hehe x I am delighted all is well with your DH' swimmers! I bet he is grinning! Fx for a BFP! Get those swimmers swimming! !

Thegrandhighwitch thanks ...I really do think it worked! I am interested to see how I will get on this month with it! Fx I ovulate earlier ! I will let you know..I take Omega 3 oil too, as well as Vit D, Seven seas Trying for a baby, Vit B, spirulina & folic acid! It all adds up! I have used the Agnus Castus for the last month, and there is some still left...I had to buy a new basal therm., & stock back up on OPK's! It does all add up! x

Haha thanks laura :) x

Evening ladies!

Just wanted to pop in before I head out for the evening. Will catch up properly later when I've fully read back when tucked up in bed

Will toast a drink to the July passengers tonight-we can do it!!!

:-) xx

Thanks kitty! We are going to have a bottle of champagne tonight as hopefully won't be able to do that soon! Cheers girls! Xx

Hi foscarC!

Sounds scary KittyvonCatsington, well done to you though!

For years dh and I used a condom in the middle bit of my cycle and the rest of the time we just used withdrawal or nothing and we were fine. Try not to worry about it now though chillipopcorn perhaps he was just very accurate with his withdrawal

Sorry to hear you're feeling sore laureno81, look after yourself!

Good luck Treaclepie19, hope you have a lovely evening as well as dtd :)

Dh must have felt guilty he was awake when I got home last night . I saw him for 30mins tonight before I left and he asked if I was pg yet! I told him it depends how virile (sp) he is and he said I definitely am then, let's hope.

From what I remember from biology the more times you dtd the more sperm competition so the harder they swim so yes to today, Saturday and Sunday Ip2014.

Blueberry How did your hospital appointment go?

Kitty Enjoy! & Yes! We surely can! x

Thanks cinnamon! Fx for a BFP! I think men just get scared! It means they have to grow up too! x

lp2014 I would do it tonight, Sat, Sun, & Mon! Do you use opk's? They should give you notice of ovulation, as the 2nd line gets darker approaching ovulation...with a +opk green flag for ovulation within 12-48 hours! Also cervical mucus becomes Eggwhite before ovulation. x

Thanks girls!

Not used opks before but thank you for the advice! Might try next month if we don't get a positive. I have had the egg white cm yesterday and today. Good sign i hope! Xx

Yay! Good luck everyone, hope you're having a bit more fun than me, apparently we have to watch the France game, maybe time for a bath for me.
Go lp, ewcm seems like a good sign, I'm hoping for some early next week
Just needing to carry on any weekend momentum into the week. Dh just says it's really early days so unaware of how I am trying to plan things! If I don't get the BFP in July, then I'm going to buy some sticks and explain the code to him. It's easy to persuade him to Dtd at weekends

treacle, enjoy your wine and have some FUN! xx

Looking forward to checking in on people's updates over the weekend xx

Thanks Scottishbride! Jump in the bath i say, go and chill out! Enjoy! Xx

Hi! Haven't caught up yet but I will . I'm just despairing a bit with ov worrying I've missed it which hasn't been my problem before but things not working out after that. A bit confused . Am on cd15 and no sign of even a flashing smile on the cb but had ewcm yesterday and a feeling on my right ovary . My pees being oddly diluted day and night though so maybe that's why the test isn't working yet .
