Hi, can I join too.

MrsS010814, TTC #1, cycle 1. BFP due 18th August. Hoping for a honeymoon baby!

Sunshinesaz86 · 26/07/2014 12:38

That would be nice fattycow to have someone close to share the experience with! And maternity obvs!! My best friend has said a few times tell me when your thinking about it so we can try together, but joking as it obviously doesn't work like that and I don't want anyone to know!

Welcome mrsS, congrats on the wedding and FX for honeymoon baby!

Hi everyone, I was on the end of the June bus, but things have gone a bit strange so I decided to stay off the July bus and thought we were already to get going again this month but I have started bleeding the past few days :( My last period was 3 weeks late, and I am now on CD17 and should have ov CD14-15. Since CD15 I have had blood streaked discharge which today has turned into a light period............so I have no idea what is going on!!
Sorry for the moan, hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine

lp2014 · 26/07/2014 14:51

Hi swimmingbee . Hope you're ok.

I am cd18, no symptoms, feeling totally relaxed about it this month xx

cinnamongreyhound · 26/07/2014 18:04

Mine isn't great MistyWillow17 and was glad of the break once I wasn't fertile! He's actually more up for it without the pressure but he's quite in tune so he know when I have af and so would figure it out even if I didn't tell him :)

I have glow after a recommendation here is fertility friend and app or a website?

Hi lucieloos and MrsS010814!

That would be lovely fattycow!

No suggestions I'm afraid SwimmingBee, sorry to hear things aren't quite going to plan :(

10dpo and still resisting poas....so far!

Nordicmom · 26/07/2014 18:13

Hi! Getting lonely on the July bus now and am jumping on here soon I'm sure so here I am if that's ok

kurama · 26/07/2014 21:16

Will read back later but I feel really down today after yesterday's seeming false excitement..... Bfns today without even I shadow of a line.

Mummabubbles · 26/07/2014 21:30

I got well and truly kicked off the July bus this morning so I'd like to officially board here Smile

my official stats:
mummabubbles 34, ttc #4, cycle 1 (I dont think July's cycle counts as I royally messed up my dates and calculations! Will do better this month!), bfp due 24th Aug.

Happy baby making everyone Dragon

Mummabubbles · 26/07/2014 21:32

karuna Thanks for you

Coralcolour · 26/07/2014 21:52

Hello to all the newbies!

I've finished the course of provera now so just a waiting game for AF, it's going to be so weird as I've not had one for so long.
As soon as it's here I can start the clomid and CBFM....I'm determined this ttc malarkey won't take so long this time Smile

Good luck everyone

Amymighalls · 27/07/2014 08:20

Jumping aboard this bus too, CD12 so hopefully will be ovulating in the next few days, finger crossed we all get a bfp this month

Stats
Amy, Age 27 ttc#2 cycle 2 bfp due 13 august

cinnamongreyhound · 27/07/2014 09:39

Hi Mummabubbles and Amymighalls!

So sorry you're feeling down kurama, just really hope you get some kind of answer soon :(

Blueskygirl30 · 27/07/2014 10:06

Good morning, I've just been kicked off the July bus so I'm boarding this bus if that's ok! I can't believe how few BFPs there have been in July. This bus is due so many more! I'll have a read back over this bus so far and see how everyone's been doing and who's boarded this month.

So stats, Blueskygirl30 30yrs old, TTC#1, cycle 3, BFP due 22 August

xBlueberry88x · 27/07/2014 10:27

Sorry to see so many hoping over from the july bus it really does suck.

Welcome to the newbies.

In fertile week atm so lots of sex...although I bleeding a little on and off which coincided with the hsg not sure if its that or ovulation bleeding. Luckily dp hasnt been put off!

Treaclepie19 · 27/07/2014 10:30

Hi all :)
Seriously need to read back as I've been off for a bit.

Don't think I'm ovulating this month and expecting af in about 9 days. Which will put me on the September bus :/

Cariad2014 · 27/07/2014 10:45

Sorry for the radio silence from me. I was still holding out for July being our month after the disappointment of a very early mc/ chemical pregnancy in June, but alas it wasn't to be.

I've been using the Clearblue Advanced monitor and Pre-seed from cycle 1, but have decided to start temping this month as well.

I'm finding it increasingly difficult not to become completely obsessed with ttc, not that this is helped by the fact that all of my close female friends are either pregnant or ttc at the moment. So any advice on distraction techniques (ideally non-work related) would be much appreciated.

My updated stats: Cariad2014 TTC#1 Cycle 4 (the first on the bus) BFP due 22 August

Kurama - Sorry to hear about your mixed results. Here's hoping you get a firm BFP soon. Big hugs.

Treaclepie - That all sounds very frustrating.

CockBollocks · 27/07/2014 13:27

a bit late but can I jump on Smile DP has green lighted no 3, so all systems go!!!!

Currently on my 2ww.

EnglishGirlsReturned · 27/07/2014 13:32

Hi lovely ladies,

Sorry to see yet more July bus passengers. Sucks!

I'm nursing a pretty stonking hangover after a fab time at my friends 30th! 7dpo today, got another big night planned for next Sat when I'll be 13dpo, so if AF doesn't arrive (i'd normally come on at 13dpo) I'll poas Saturday morning. Hope the bitch stays away and i'm one of the lcky ones that falls without an AF after a MC.

xBlueberry88x · 27/07/2014 14:41

Not many of you will understand why im so happy but iM OVULATING WOOOO!!

Toot Toot! It's the August bus - here to bring us all our hot, hot, hot summer BFPs!
Aprilray · 27/07/2014 14:57

Fab news Blueberry! Really happy for you Smile

HettyB · 27/07/2014 15:03

Yay Blueberry! Time to get shagging!

Aprilray · 27/07/2014 15:08

So glad I have you lovely ladies to confide in. CD15 and waiting to ov and found myself doing a pregnancy test?!?! Had had frequent urination, sore nipples (which I never get) and felt really faint last night so convinced myself I was one of those women who get AF but are pregnant. Unsurprisingly it was a BFN...what a waste of a test!

Currently sat in the sun at Lords watching cricket (have no idea what's going on) with DH and DF (father) got in free as it's ladies day and a complimentary glass of bubbles Wine

Blueskygirl30 · 27/07/2014 16:29

Phew, just read back over the whole thread. I'm sat out in the sunshine eating a fruit and nut with my ipad. I've decided I can be naughty today since it's CD1 but that I need to start eating much more healthily from tomorrow.

Misty I saw something you said about your DH not wanting to know the ins and outs of the whole TTC process. My DH is the same. He doesn't even know that I use OPKs but he did make the connection when I wanted to DTD every night for about 10 days.

Aprilray I did the same a you last month and did a HPT a couple of days after AF even though it was a totally normal, 3 day AF and no reason to think I was actually pregnant.

Chandlers I'm really hoping that it works out for you this month, triplets would be incredible! I really hope at least one of them sticks for you!! I read that you said long haul flights affect fertility...that sucks as flying long haul and missing about 4 nights sleep a month is my job...I might have to look into that a bit!

I'm almost glad that I've been symptom spotting for the past two months as hopefully it will mean that when I get all of the symptoms again this time I won't be expecting a BFP. I almost actual enjoy the first few days of my cycle now, there's no stress trying to DTD (which can be very hard to sort out around both my work and DHs work) and no symptom spotting, I'm actual surprised that I'm not upset this time, I think it's because I kept telling myself AF was on her way even though the bitch was a day late and did get my hopes up a little

I did the same as you yesterday Aprilray because I have no idea whats going on with my cycle. If I have ovulated then I am between 4 and 12dpo as fertility friend seems to have no idea either. So I took a hpt yesterday afternoon as I have sore boobs, backache, nausea (and had these before the date fertility friend is guessing I ovulated) and so thought perhaps I may be pg from last cycle. BFN of course. Having cramping and backache today but I now have no idea when to expect af. Hmm
