Fingers crossed for you MrsGingerbread and sorry to hear about your two early mc's in a row. Hope you are able to get your iron levels back to normal soon. Have you tried SpaTone? I found it really helped when I was low and Boots often have it on 3 for 2.

Sarahg1 fingers crossed for a honeymoon bfp for you! Smile

cinnamongreyhound · 07/07/2014 16:27

Would be lovely Sarahg1!

I've just got the Glow app, quite excited I like a good bit of technology Wink

Boosk · 07/07/2014 17:22

cinnamongreyhound Ooh, I do love an app. Have you tried OvuView? It lets you log all manner of symptoms Wink

Hey Ladies,

Room for another one?

cth1982, 32, TTC#1, cycle 7 BFP Due 11th August

PCOS and currently not ovulating I don't think - am trying to get an appointment with my Doctors but am facing a 2+week wait so will hang out and hope nature just sorts itself out this month!

MrsBeeBeeBee · 07/07/2014 18:43

Hello ladies. I'm back on the buses after getting my bfp on June bus.

Stats:
MrsBeeBeeBee, 29, ttc #2, cycle 3 (miscarriage cycle 2, July). AF due.... Who knows!?

casiopeia · 07/07/2014 20:20

Hiya, can I join in please? I am a newbie on the forum so it will be nice to feel like a part of a group :)

Casiopeia, 32, ttc#1, cycle 3.

Scoop77 · 07/07/2014 20:55

Hi can I jump on the bus?
I have just had my implant out and ttc#2, very nervous as last time got bfp and mc 7 weeks later! But two months later got bfp again and now have an amazing 2 year old!
So new to here so let's go for it...
Scoop77 27 cycle 0 ttc#2

MrsGingerbread · 07/07/2014 22:22

Welcome everyone! Lots of us already.

Sorry to the ladies rejoining after losses. :( This is a tough journey isn't it.

Boosk thank you, yes I hope I have been unlucky. I think I am oving about now (no dtd this month!) So I am hoping so, so everything gets back to normal so I can start trying again.

Interesting about Spatone. I'll take a look. Thanks! :)

Anyone trying anything different this time? We used soft cups the month of our second bfp, so we may try those again. I swear by temping too. :)

I think we should also have a prize for the craziest symptom. Love symptom spotting! :)

nervously peeks in

Hello all. We're ttc number 2 starting this month. I can't bring myself to admit it to anyone irl so would love to chat about it all here! I have long cycles and this one has just started so won't be testing until mid August :)

CoffeeOne, 31, ttc #2, cycle 1.

FattyFishwife · 08/07/2014 00:08

Room for another please?
Fatty fishwife reporting for duty.....43 ttc#6, cycle10, af due 14/7

:)

Sarahg1 · 08/07/2014 05:13

aah thanks everyone.... going to do my best for a wedding dtd marathon and honeymoon bfp.

good luck to the rest of you, although I'm finding ttc a total pain I'm actually quite excited this month!!!

BoredOfFootball · 08/07/2014 08:39

I don't seem to be ovulating this month....day 15 and nothing! So frustrating.

MrsGingerbread what are soft cups? Willing to try anything that promises to help!

SurreyBunny · 08/07/2014 12:48

Hello! Can I hop on too....I'll be needing a season ticket the way I'm going!

SurreyBunny 34 TTC #2 Cycle 7 BFP due 1st Aug

I've tried everything so far and I think that's half my problem. Blood tests have come back ok and DH is getting his swimmers tested this week. Dr gave me some rubbish stat that 95% of fertility problems are caused by stress Hmm so I wanted to quit using opk's and temping but I find it so useful.

Have any of you signed up to the Clearblue trial? I've had three text messages saying the same thing but no call yet.

Good luck everyone!!

cinnamongreyhound · 08/07/2014 13:04

I've spoken to them SurreyBunny, had a form to sign and have returned it but haven't heard anything since. Had to fill in times I could do the little 10-15min chat and circled any day 1-3pm so might get a call this afternoon. I don't use opk's not but am quite interested to try. It took me 6 months to conceive ds1 but didn't do anything to find out when I ovulated. I did have significantly less stress the month he was conceived!

Coralcolour · 08/07/2014 13:13

Thanks MrsGingerbreadSmile

I'm so keen to get started but have things coming up which wouldn't be ideal so wondering when to start?

Welcome to everyone Grin

Pikz · 08/07/2014 13:32

Room for a small one?

Pikz, 32, ttc#2 cycle 8

Bobs76 · 08/07/2014 17:18

I'm on Day 18 BoredofFootball nothing last night and due to test again later tonight but my cycles are anything from 29-35 days.

BoredOfFootball · 08/07/2014 18:50

Frustrating isn't it Bobs!

Have you ever had any tests done to check why your cycles vary? Mine can be fine for 2 or 3 months and then I suddenly have a long one. Tested for PCOS but bloods came back normal.

CoffeeOne · 08/07/2014 19:05

My cycles for the last few months have been between 35 and 41 days, I tend to ovulate around day 25. It's good to have long cycles usually as it means less periods but not when ttc!

Bobs76 · 08/07/2014 19:19

No I haven't BoredofFootball they have been like that for as long as I can remember. I've been to see the doctor and they're not concerned they just say I have longer cycles, I had tests and a scan & they can't find anything wrong. My AF lasts for about 2 weeks as well which is annoying!

cinnamongreyhound · 08/07/2014 20:02

Had an email today asking why clear blue hadn't received my permission form hasn't been sent back. I sent it Friday but after the post so if expect them to have it by now. Hoping that they accept me so I can give opk's a try for free and for the pregnancy tests :) although I'm not so keen on keeping a fortnight a worth of pee in my fridge!

HettyB · 08/07/2014 20:23

Hi Ladies, please can I join you? I'm a newbie having lurked for a while (for 'research' purposes, of course...) but now DP and I have made the decision to 'not not try', but we've been less than careful for the past few months.
I'm currently awaiting July's AF, as she's late (my body likes to play tricks on me) but she's been making her presence known for a while so I know she's but hours away.
Anyway, is there room on the bus for me?
Hetty, 28, not not trying for #1
