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. :)

Ah Kurama I asked about you on the July thread. Sorry to hear you're still in limbo! When is af due? Vodka testing sounds fun

Thanks spinning :) glad you had a good holiday.

April, I'm considering starting the September bus because there's no way I'll be pregnant this month.

sounds lovely spinning - yum pizza! you'll soon have that off! I'm cd5 so just waiting now for the fun to begin. I'm not using opks this month, just going to aim for eod - try to take the pressure off a bit.

kurama sorry you're still in limbo! vodka sounds good though

april a break might be good in a weird way even though I'm sure it will feel like a wasted month to you.

Cooooweee August passengers!!! Whose ever experienced lightening crotch? And was it pg related?

Cooooweee August passengers!!! Whose ever experienced lightening crotch? And was it pg related?

I have MrsE and yes it was :p

Oooo treacle!!!! Rusty just got a bfp on the July bus, which is super good news! She posted a few days back with lightening crotch symptom. At the time I thought yes I had previously had that but couldn't pin point when. Then day before yesterday I got stabby lightening too. Bfp due Thursday onwards. Haven't tested! Thought I'd be able to wait until I got home who was I kidding!! Lol

You could be right Genni, it would be nice not to go through the am I/aren't I few days...but can't stand the thought of a wasted month. Will see what my temps and monitor do over the next few days and DTD when DH returns.
If it doesn't work out this month, we have a week off in August which should fall around ov time so will be nice and relaxed and have plenty of time to DTD

That sounds promising MrsE!

Hello spinning glad you had a great time

I'm past the boring part of the cycle and now on cd10. Hoping for a bit a lot of dtd over the weekend. I had ordered conceive plus online and the posty has left it upstairs as we were out. But now upstairs have been out all the time so I can't use it yet!!! I haven't even told dh that I have bought it or that such a thing even exists.

spinning af was due 14 days ago. im still on july thread as well but my dad was down this weekend so havnt been online much as me and dh have been taking him out places :) sunday market sever sunburn for me followed by local scarcrow festival and seafest vodka stall!!! and then tea on sun, then yest we went for a ride on dads motorbike before he headed home. never had such pain going over potholes but fx the bloods come back as good news.
glad you had a good time spinning

is it bad that i already have the way im going to tell dh planned for when it happens?
lol

Oooh MrsE!! When will you poas! Sounds good!

So I e been for 4 wees since 9am!! Wtf! And constantly feel like I have cm coming out. Sorry tmi! Small amount of brown on liner.... Fx and toes crossed!!

There are some hopeful sounding symptoms on here!

I am now CD14 and got a high on the monitor this morning so it's all systems go!

Haven't even worked out when I could test - very lax of me, I shall do that now and update my stars shortly

*stats

Shetland: ttc #3, cycle 1, can test 14/8.

Welcome Spinningirl10 and Shetland.

Thanks TreaclePie19 but it's looking doubtful tbh. My temp is gradually dropping, I am crampy and my boobs aren't really sore any more so expecting af soon I think. As it stands I technically get another shot at August anyway but I think I may skip to September if no luck this time. Hope your temps start behaving themselves anyway and you can get back to dtd when you're better .

Thank you EnglishGirlsReturned but I needed clomid to conceive my previous dc so if this cycle is anovulatory and since I have had no luck over the last few cycles I think I will have to go down that road again. I may try the soy isoflavones next time but read conflicting info on them. On the one hand it is meant to help you ovulate if you don't (pretty sure I am not as per the above), on the other it said you shouldn't take it if you have regular cycles i.e around the 28 day mark (which I do). So am leaning towards taking them anyway as I would rather take something more natural than clomid if I can but still a bit .

Sorry to hear your cycle is playing up too Aprilray. My monitor went from low to peak and skipped high completely so maybe the same will happen for you. Hopefully we will both be able to skip the september bus and move straight to ante-natal though.

I don't know much about 'lightning crotch' MrsExtraOrdinary but will be on the look out for it now lol. Odd side effects of pregnancy I do know of is catching colds etc due to the bodies suppressed immune system so it doesn't reject baby. And also if you get sunburnt easier/more it could be down to being pg too as the hormones make you more sensitive to the sun (hopefully that means you kurama).

Afternoon Ladies,

Spinning Sad to see you here but glad you had an amazing holiday, the food over there is really to die for.

English sounding positive fx for you.

Kuruma fx blood test is positive.

Welcome to the newbies.

Mrse what is the definition for lightening crotch lol

Treacle there is still a chance you might ovulate it could just be late meaning a longer cycle length this month

Today I am officially for the first time (confirmed positive opk) 1 or 2dpo jumped on dp as soon as had positive and we did it day before and day after so fx im mega nervous now I know im ovulating 16 months and I have nothing to blame for not getting pg

Ahhh Grand I'm sorry, didn't realise. Hopefully ov is just delayed rather than absent. I'm sorry wary of trying all these supplements and alternative therapies, but for some they really do work. I think my body works best when left to it's own devices.

blueberry I must have missed your previous posts but that is such great news that you are ovulating! Fab news!

kuruma tell us how you're going to tell DH :)

4dpo here. I got a swift punch to the stomach this morning by 2 yo DS (accidental) and it's served as a harsh reminder that any subsequent pregnancies are going to be tough going! Not that the last pregnancy was a walk in the park, but at least I got to rest outside of work and not be punched in the stomach :/

Awww thanks Genni I was so shocked and happy I ran out of the bathroom and showed dp lol poor guy...feel sorry for the guy if I ever get pg i'll be a mess haha

That's ok EnglishGirlsReturned . I also suck at producing fertile cm presumably because there are no eggs to fertilise so my body doesn't bother lol. My husband has suggested the problem may be down to him but given my history it isn't realistic and tbh I think he says it to make me feel better. The most annoying part is that I still have to take birth control when not ttc as otherwise sods law means I will get upduffed. Maybe that's where I am gong wrong and I need to plan something major that being pg will not help .

coffee ive got a couple of colourful notes each saying a different thing.
(guess what/ you are going to be a daddy/but am i a girl or boy/ congratulations we think youll need these) the 1st will be in his lunchbox the 2nd and 3rd are going to be wrapped up with cute babygrows for a boy and a girl they will be on his pillow, and the last one is going on the front of two books ive bought the dudes guide to pregnancy/pregnancy for men 101 tips which will be wrapped up and have ribbon on and they will be on his chair in front room. ill be waiting upstairs
