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. :)

Oh Mrsgingerbread your bfp is due on my birthday

Also I've just realised I'm actually on the wrong bus! bfp is due on 28th July.....I guess as it's our first cycle ttc I'm a bit too relaxed about it and completely missed calculated everything Of course that means I probably badly timed dtd also so if it's ok I'll stay in here as I'm sure I'll soon belong!

MrsG Yay! How exciting! fx for you x

Treacle DTD today! Fx you catch that egg x Sperm can live for a number of days, so don't worry x

Aurenna I am off the pill 22 months & I still have long AF! Pain in the butt tbh! x I hope you don't end up with the same x

Hetty I say that is a sign of impending ovulation! Keep DTD! x

Bitchpeas Love the name x I am taking Ferrograd 325mg, as my ferritin was low when I got it checked about 6 weeks ago. I am supposed to take it for 3 months x I have taken Spatone in the past, & I too mix it with some OJ xx

Fattycow I hope you get your BFP & you won't have to join us on the August bus x Fx xx

Thanks laurano81 but not sure whats going on now tbh. My temp has barely risen at all since the positive opk and peak on the monitor so can only presume I failed to ovulate and hopefully will soon or that I did ovulate and maybe the progesterone is just taking its sweet time to rise. Doesn't help that my husband loves having a fan on in the bedroom all night as he's 'hot' apparently . He's been fairly reasonable about dtd on demand this time round but then his libido has always been a bit massively higher than mine.

Thanks everyone, we will dtd tonight all being well.
This uti is getting no better so probably shouldn't. It keeps coming and going though which is confusing. Normally it just gets worse and worse.

Hi Ladies!

Mind if I sit at the back? AF is still AWOL and still BFNs at 19dpo. Think a cyst might be keeping my bbt temps high so just waiting until I can try for an August BFP and an April baby!

Grand have you got a pic of your chart? You could have a staircase rise pattern.

Treacle Hope the UTI buggers off soon-you poor thing! and a slice of ?!

Hi *Kitty! :)
Nice to see you, sorry af is still missing.
I hope you get an answer soon.

Thanks for the cake :)
I think we will just dtd because if it does get worse then at least I'll be at the doctors in the morning.

Can I come to join you guys on the August bus? AF showed up today so am out for July! Stats are:

MaGratgarlik1983, 31, ttc#1, cycle2

Good luck everyone!

well been to docs, and shes hopeful it implantation bleeding but told me to wait till next week to test and if still bfn and no af then i can have a blood test to get answer. I HATE waiting doc has more hope that i could be pregnant than i do!

Hopefully you won't need a seat here KittyVonCatsington as I am hoping you still qualify for the July bus. Still, it is nice to see you here during your wait for an answer either way. Here should be the link to my current chart and it does look a little like a staircase pattern although am dubious as this mornings temp was iffy to say the least. I woke at about half 5 as I had to pee so took my temp which came out at 36.28 (with the fan on). I turned the fan off before I got back into bed and went back to sleep. Woke again when my alarm went off and took my temp at my usual time of 7:15 (36.53 same as yesterday). Re took it straight away and got 36.57 so don't know which one I should be going for.

Wow that was quite long winded. Sorry about that and congrats for getting through my rambling.

Argh. Don't think I will be dtd tonight. Uti is getting worse :( doctors tomorrow.
Anyone with some sense: should I give dtd a miss?
I know normally they get worse with no prompt but I spose I shouldn't dtd and make it any worse.
Don't want a kidney infection again :(
Ugh :(

Sorry for the me me me post.

Treaclepie19 don't worry about the 'me me me' post as we are all prone to them especially in this rocky road we are taking together . If you are ovulating/due to ovulate soon (sorry not sure where you are in your cycle) then I would be tempted to say dtd but use mooncup/softcup etc or stay with legs in air or whatever works for you for 10 minutes or so after. Once you've done that, get up and sort yourself out. That way you should hopefully avoid aggravating your uti but may be able to get some swimmers near an egg.

Really hope you get some news soon KittyVonCatsington!

Sorry to hear that af arrived MaGratgarlik1983 :(

That sounds positive kurama hope your doc is right to be +be :)

Is probably be tempted to dtd treaclepie19! If you're going to have to take antibiotics anyway you may as well give getting pregnant your best shot if you can bear it of course!

5dpo here, no signs or symptoms so far!

Thanks ladies. I think you're right.
Dtd it is!
:)

Treacle have you got intravenous cranberry Juice sorted for bedtime?! I blame the hot weather as I think a few ladies are suffering currently. Hope you get some respite soon.

I have got some cranberry but it's really rubbish cranberry juice that's got barely any cranberry in.

We dtd, very awkward as you can imagine. I couldn't finish (sorry tmi) and DH got annoyed for me persuading him.
Still.
Doctors tomorrow. I blame the heat too MrsE!

What ever happened with your gorgeous kittens MrsE? Did they find nice homes?

Here they are treacle! That's very phsychic of you as I just posted a kitty picture for kitty to take her mind off her horrid dr apt! It has been such a lovely positive experience. Mummy cat is fantastic. We are keeping 2 I think, have a home for one other. Other home dropped out but think another friend has taken a liking. I've never been particularly into animals. Grew up with them always and enjoyed them but think mummy cat and I really bonded! How sad is that, lol.

Oh MrsE they are gorgeous!!!
It's not sad at all. Though u really am an animal person :p

Right im off to bed, ouch ouch ouch.

• I really am. Not u...

Haha! I do hope you get some sleep!

Going back about a million years with my first pg, ok 16 years actually...I got the most horrendous thrush! My girly bits swelled to the most enormous size, I was so nieve, I didn't know what thrush was I just thought it was pg related. My xh went and bought a fan and planted it at the foot of the bed so my fuff could be fanned throughout the night, while I slept like a starfish! I eventually took myself to the doc and found out id had it for about 5 months without treatment. get yourself a fan! and failing that some abs! Take care x

Hello all - I've been away a week or so, busy busy busy (plus its easier to stay relaxed during the TWW and AF than lurking on here!). I also went for a wine tasting weekend which was super fun - making the most of my non-pregnant status!

OPK kits arrived today - finally - and I think I'm due to ov in the next 3-4 days. No idea really, though. Took a test and it was negative so far. (Also took a pregnancy one too as I have been feeling super weird lately and my period was so early - but of course, BFN!). Should I temp too?

I went to the GP last week for a smear and he wanted to give me loads of tests as he sees so many women who are low in iron and iodine. It will be interesting to hear the results. Pleasingly, he told me I look 'very healthy' when taking the smear test. Top marks for my vagina! Sad what one clings to when TTC.

Anyway, I haven't had time to read back very far - was about to ask who was due for AF now but realised that this is the August bus! A little while for us all then.

Thanks for the welcome ladies

MaMaPo I'm still giggling at your GP congratulating your vagina - always nice to get a compliment!

Mama congratulations on your healthy fanjo! Which reminds me I'm a very bad girl as I'm so overdue for a smear great news and looking good for a bfp for you. Lovely to hear some gps are on the ball.

The nurse who removed my coil told me my cervix looked very healthy MaMaPo, they obviously see it as a compliment! I'm 6dpo today so may be first?

It was a BFN for me yesterday and still no AF :(
