Toot Toot! It's the August bus - here to bring us all our hot, hot, hot summer BFPs!

[MrsGingerbread]

August bus welcoming all newbies and experienced TTCers. Let's start the summer loving. :)

Hello everyone.

I'm (unusually!) desperate for af to arrive as it will mark the end of our month off after mcs. :)

Still loading the iron and feeling a lot more myself now. I can't wait to start ttc though.

Congratulations to the 2 bfps already! We all hope to join you soon! :)

So glad you are feeling more human MrsGinger. I think this heat wave might be quite for lots of passengers. It's holiday season after all.

I'm quite glad I've lost going what cycle I'm on. Denial is a happier place!

Missing word was *positive ! Oops

Af has just kicked me off the july bus so I thought I'd jump right aboard the august bus.

Sparkle 17, age 29, ttc #1, 3, bfp due 18th August.

Good luck everyone!

Welcome Aurenna and Kurama!

Glad to hear you're feeling better MrsGingerbread.

I think this bus is going to be a BFP bonanza - we'll be getting BFPs by the bucketload!

I'm just waiting to OV - CD13 here and a couple of faint lines on OPKs yesterday but the line seems to be more faint today :-( but I'm hoping I don't ovulate until Tuesday/Wednesday as I'm not sure DP and I will have much chance to dtd before then!

And hello to sparkle!

Hi all I haven't read back, so apologies, I will do so now x

I am on CD7, and AF left the building last night, to only return with a blast about an hour ago...hopefully she will be on her merry way by tomorrow! I feel light headed & drained from it tbh, and thus I have been feel quiet shite...I took a step back mentaly from TTC, as it is the last thing on you mind when aunt flo has called!

My DH had his swimmers tested on Friday & we are relieved that he was in the normal range. However he is on the lower end of normal, with a sperm concentration of 15 million per ml...the lower reference threshold for sperm concentration, so all in all DTD every day is out & we are to do it EOD...x Good news really, as she said everything else was perfect & we should have no problems conceiving once we DTD EOD x

Hi Aurenna and Sparkle17!

Sorry x post laurano81, that's good news :)

Hi laurano, af is a total bitch and I know that feeling very well with stop and oh start again! Hope you are feeling restored soon

Congrads MrsVonBlack & Guitar I am delighted for the both of you x Wishing you both a happy & healthy nine months x

Sorry that AF arrived Blueberry,Kurama, Sparkle, April ! I am sorry to see you all here x

Welcome Probablyme, Gemcon, Phyrn, & Aurena

Chandlers I started TTC December & I thought the same! One sperm, one egg, Ta-da one little bean...x

Treacle Oh gosh! I hope it buggers off! x Drink loads of cranberry juice & water to flush it out x I have a kidney defect, a small kink in the tube coming out of my left kidney, resulting in a puffy kidney pelvis. My kidneys work perfect, but due to the kink, I am more prone to UTI's! OUCH! I know too well how sore they are x Yep! I agree with MrsE, with both the causes & how to treat it x

Cinnamon I know! I was so relieved! DH was well proud of his swimmers! x He was so nervous though! Sweating bricks x He can relax now.

MrsE You can say that again!! I feel like it is going on forever! I am just worried about my iron levels though, as I feel wrecked! Must go back to the doc & get them checked.

Laurano spatone is a good natural supplement if you can't stomach oral prescribed iron. I'm still waiting to hear from the consultant haematologist, re blood transfusion/iron injections. I expect I'll be waiting a good few weeks yet!

Sorry to hear you've had an extra long af laurano81, same here with a day of spotting, then 5 days of af, followed by 3 more days of spotting . It felt like it was never ending fgs. Good news for your DH's swimmers though.

Well after having a positive opk and peak reading on my monitor on cd13, I expected to ov sometime either that day or yesterday (cd14) and have been dtd to try to catch it. But my temp hasn't risen so presume I geared up to ov and then didn't. Hopefully I will in the next few days although not sure how helpful my monitor is going to be now as it's already detected a peak.

hey ladies i need some advice. is that possible to have implantation bleeding this long after poss ov? i think i ovd cd18 and today is cd 36 and we only dtd cd15/18/19/22 and 29.... although its mainly red now its still more spotting and after dtd today there was nothing to show that af is suppost to be here....sorry tmi but we dont normally dtd in 2st couple days of af due to my dislike of blood, but there was almost nothing.... still a bit moody, nipples sore since yest and still feeling sick and far too warm yes i know weather might be to blame for it all

thanks and hello to hetty,cinnamon and laura

Boo DP has just left to go back to work on the other side of the country until Friday. We had a quiet weekend as all of my DS's were at their dad's for the weekend which left time for a lot of practising!! Really looking forward to DP having a week off next week. Still no signs of a post implant removal bleed/AF and no symptoms of one on the way but it's a waiting game as usual isn't it!!

Yay! Af has arrived. Which means I now have stats!

MrsGingerbread, 31, ttc #1, cycle 5 (mc cycles May and June), BFP due 16th August

Woohoo!

Kumara I don't know the answer to your question I'm afraid. But I have my fingers crossed for you!

I really don't know the answer kurama, sorry.

Yay Mrsgingerbread!!!

I am cross! We didn't dtd last night because of this stupid uti (although it's not that bad, it's cleared up a bit) and I knew ovulation was imminent. This morning - solid smiley!
Odd that I could sense it coming. Anyway my temp hasn't risen so we still have time I guess. We dtd late Friday night/early sat morning so hopefully ok even if it haopens early.

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone.

Shame about the long period, Laurano - my last one was eight days, the first after getting my Mirena coil out. I think that felt even longer than my two week wait with Cycle1! Thumbs up re your fella's swimmers swimming.

Kurano, I'm no expert but I think based on your numbers that would be a long time to wait for an implantation bleed. I'm sure I read that it normally happens a few days either side of nine days after ovulation, and you're on eighteen days after. Still, anything seems to be possible! What day would you normally be due?

Always nice to get a bonkathon in, ProbablyMe! I'm inexplicably frisky myself at the moment so can't wait for my period to do one so I can get back to the good stuff.

Morning ladies,

How's everyone feeling today? I'm on CD14: OV pains and a temp dip but no EWCM or positive OPK so I'm very confused.

And I'm off to the docs for a smear test this morning - lovely!

Normally af shows up between cd30/31 but managed to book in with doc today although it's not till 7 tonight.....

Good luck for the doctors tonight, Kurama

Good luck at doctors kurama

And Yay mrsgingerbread Fx for this month.

laurano I've used spatone for very heavy periods and it works well, doesn't taste bad mixed with orange juice.

I'm only on CD 9, DTD everyday now leading up to ovulation, I'm getting impaitent already!

Hello everyone! My ticket for the August bus hasn't arrived yet (hoping it won't), but I wanted to peek through the window to see how you are doing.

I would have thought even if you don't manage to dtd today Treaclepie19 you've got a good chance from fri eve/sat morn.

I think any kind of hormone contraception a messes with your sex drive Aurenna so could account for friskyness. Personally I'm always pretty interested around the time I ovulate even when not ttc, which I suppose makes plenty of sense :)

Grandhigh I had 3 days of a light af, then 4 days of heavy/medium af...now brown spotting today! That's a total of 8 days! So we are pretty much in the same boat, so to speak! Yay for the +opk & peak! x

kurama I dunno! I guess we are all different, but I had a really light flow (red) for 3 days this AF, then 4 days of heavy/med AF, now back to spotting...I guess you have to hang in there...I hope the doctor can shed more light on it x

MrsE I am lucky that my iron tabs aren't affecting me, so I am still taking them...I must get some spirulina, as I ran out of it, & it works out in the long run much cheaper to get the 200 pack, than the 100 pack x Fx you hear some news soon! Nothing worse than waiting x
