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. :)

How odd grand, I suppose I have been sleeping with a fan but I did last month too.

If im not ovulating this month it wouldn't matter do much because we've only dtd twice due to thrush.

Hi Pikz I love Reflexology. The first month I tried it, back in Feb, I got a BFP. sadly it didn't stick but I've been having monthly treatments since. The relaxation alone is worth it!

Definitely continue taking your temps Hetty As English said, you will see what your overall pattern is doing and be able to determine if or when you ovulated. You may have had a very short LH surge, hence you got an almost positive but not quite. Certainly there is no need to panic yet. If you have regular 28 day cycles, it is extremely unlikely you are not ovulating. Not ovulating is likely to extend your cycle considerably.

BTW, lots of luck to everyone!!

Morning, I've just about had enough of this heatwave, really wish London buses had air con!

GrandHighWitch omg, I would love twins! Hope your temps start behaving themselves. Mine are a bit odd at the mo too.

Treacle have you tried a pessary? I used one last time I had thrush and it did the trick.

Kitty I remember you mentioning a while ago that you had looked into storing a specimen - same thought went through my mind. Or maybe I will smuggle myself in his suitcase
So jealous of you teachers....make the most of this time to relax I bet you will all have BFPs very soon

Blueberry glad your HSG went well and you can get on with DTD!

Pikz that is good to know. We will be doing lots of DTD over the weekend!

Welcome CurlyJay, Detective and English

I have vaginismus and can't bear the pain April.
It does seem to be going away slowly though :)

Also, I LOVE THE :D

I'll share my totally embarrassing ttc story of the week!

Yesterday, whilst sat in MIL's garden, mid BBQ, MIL pipes up 'so, when's it due then?!'. Taken back, me and DP stuttered, 'errrrr when's what due?'. And she says 'the baby, when's it due then?!'. After much confusion, it turns out she found my tests in the bathroom cupboard when she was babysitting at ours last week!!

Oh the shame! MIL won't be surprised with a pregnancy announcement any time soon then?!!!

OMG detective you have one seriously feisty MIL!!!!! Were you not incredibly annoyed by this!? I'd have been livid!! Lol!! Think I've been lucky - blessed with a MIL that factors very low on the irritation Richter scale.

Haha sounds like my MIL detective!

Oh yeah - am super excited as Im now 100% RIDING THE AUGUST BUS!!

My scan today showed my new PCOS meds are working! I went in early last week on CD23 - scan showed literally nothing was happening, no eggs growing - ovaries in a resting state. Got given 2 sets of meds, and now 12 days later my scan showed I have grown 3 EGGS and I will ovulate on Sunday!! Maybe more than one will spring forth!! Nuts!! Am so happy, as was doctor.

Due to my crap body, I also got given weekly hormone patches to stick on my belly (sexy) to increase my pathetic-looking endometrial lining, and also progesterone pills (to start at 1DPO) to lengthen my LP, which last time was only 9 days long!!

So I have some proper stats!!! Yay!!!

ChandlersFarang, 32, ttc#1, cycle 4, BFP due 8 August (*if my LP stretches to 12 days)

Woop!! I'm a normal stats-owning human again!! Let's do this!!!

Oops sorry Treacle I remember you mentioning that before now, glad it is going away

Has the always been there or has it been added in our honour? love it.

Wow, fab news Chandlers!!

Chandlers that's so fantastic! Fx the summer loving gets you nicely upduffed!

Yay Chandlers !! That is great news! fingers crossed
The has been added due to the commonwealth games, I think! An extra penis to bring us all luck! Last time we had it was the May bus and there were loads of BFPs then!

Thank you all kindly!!!!

I just logged in on a browser specifically to see what you were all on about and now I see!!!!

If this isn't a good sign for the bus then Kitty i dunno what is.

Chandlers that's so fantastic! Fx the summer loving gets you nicely upduffed!

Great news Chandler Fx for you!

Hi Ladies, can I please join was rudely kicked of July bus last week, on a postive note, I had a 30 day cycle after finishing the pill and to be honest was ill when i think i ov'd so didnt really DTD at the right time! This month however I will be all over it (so to speak)

really good news for you chandler FX for you, and for everyone else trying for BFP's this month.

Stats are TTC#1 Cycle - 2 Age 28

That's great chandlers :)

I am also celebrating! We have got a BFN!! I know this seems a strange thing to celebrate, but after a couple of months of confusion it feels great to know where I am all ready to start afresh!!

Af is on her way out so gearing up to start trying again from next week.

Just to add to the temping debate my temp hasn't fallen as it normally does during af. It is tending downwards but nowhere near as drastic. The weather must be complicating things. :)

Chandlers Luckily we get on well . And she went in the cupboard for wash stuff to wash the baby with! So I guess I should have hidden them better!!!

Hi all, haven't really posted here much at all after joining 'the bus'.

AF is due 1st Aug, I'm brand new to predicting ovulation etc but used an ovulation calender which predicted 19th as the day of ovulation.

On 14th I had some pink discharge when I went for a wee TMI sorry. agsin on the 16th, 20th and yesterday (23rd). Any idea what this could be?

natalie possible implantation bleeding?
thats great news chandlers
mrsginger happy for you that you can start again now!
thedetective oh dear
