Bored Softcups are a bit like mooncups, they are actually for sanitary protection bit some people using them after dtd (or in addition to) to keep swimmers against the cervix a bit longer. This is not officially recommended though!

Surrey Yes I have signed up, but so far only had a text from them. I'm not liking the thought of a fridge full of wee!!

Hetty Yes, please come and join us. You are very welcome!

I have a really good feeling about this bus girlies!

MrsBeeBeeBee sorry to see you back on the bus after you mc, hope you get af soon so you know where you are at.

Welcome to everyone else and good luck for August.

A fortnight's worth of pee cinnamon?

cinnamongreyhound · 08/07/2014 21:25

Yes! They send you opk's and pregnancy tests and in return you have to save a sample of fmu every day for 2 weeks at a time and then post them. This is for up to 3 months. I enjoy taking part in studies and if you get pregnant you will get high street vouchers for further collection through the pregnancy. Someone linked to the study in another conception thread.

Boosk · 08/07/2014 21:48

Ooh, sounds interesting cinnamon and worth storing all that pee for the freebie OPKs and PTs. Smile

BalancingStick · 08/07/2014 22:22

Hello - can I hop on? Relatively new but feel like I need some support after going it alone until now.

Stats: BalancingStick, 34, TTC#1, Cycle 8, no BFPs

HettyB · 08/07/2014 22:38

Well I'm definitely an August busser - AF has arrived and is in full force!
Why are our bodies so cruel? Up until last month I always had a 28 day cycle, regular as clockwork. Now I want my body to actually do something and my cycles have gone to pot! Grrrrr.....
I hope you're right about this bus, MrsGingerbread...

BitchPeas · 08/07/2014 22:40

Can I join please?

New cycle should start 18th July, going to start trying then, Was going to wait til October but I'm far too broody!!

Have one DS age 6.5, pre eclampsia and traumatic delivery then horrendous PND.

Termination for medical reason in 2012, nearly died from complications and haemorrhage afterwards.

So safe to say I'm absolutely bricking it but so excited as have been broody for 6 and a half years!

Stats: BitchPeas, 25, ttc#2 cycle 1 BFP due 11th august.

BitchPeas · 08/07/2014 22:41

Sorry, I mean to scare anyone with my sob stories Blush

I'm a bag of nerves and anxiety so need to get it out in a safe place.

BoredOfFootball · 08/07/2014 23:24

Don't worry Bitchpeas better to talk about it than keep all that worry to yourself. Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly for you.

Bobs 2 weeks!! You poor thing. Least if you get you BFP on this bus you get a good long break from AF.

MrsGingerbread the soft cups idea kinda makes sense, has anyone else tried this?

I've applied for the Clearblue trial too, not quite got round to explaining to DP about the keeping wee in the fridge part...

Vulpix180513 · 09/07/2014 14:31

Can i jump on? Long time lurker, first time poster.

Stats: Vulpix180513, 23, TTC#1, Cycle 4

SurreyBunny · 09/07/2014 15:30

Thanks cinnamon and MrsGingerbread - I did finally get a call today and I have been told to expect a form to be emailed which I need to send back but nothing yet yes I have no patience

I tried softcups before, I don't really rate them for AF but lovely after DTD as they keep everything up there so no need to worry about the post BD whoosh. Don't be scared as they are quite big but it fits up there fine and pops out easy enough. Didn't work for me but someone on the antenatal thread used them with conceive plus and they worked for her first time, I think she had been trying a little while.

BitchPeas · 09/07/2014 16:21

Thanks boredoffootball

Should be this time next week that we start trying so fingers crossed!

Hi HettyB, BitchPeas and Vulpix180513!!

Hello Treaclepie19, sorry to see you here :(

Treaclepie19 · 09/07/2014 20:44

Thanks cinnamon :)

Picking myself up and dusting myself off.
Stupid af.

cinnamongreyhound · 09/07/2014 20:47

Mine was short this month Treaclepie19 so I'm thinking about this month now very much! Cd6 today for me :)

Treaclepie19 · 09/07/2014 20:53

That's gone quick cinnamon :)
Fingers crossed for you :)

CoffeeOne · 09/07/2014 22:25

Hetty We were also 'not not trying' for our first, I was also 28 :) the trouble is with not not trying, when you get your BFP it'll knock you over with shock :D

Treaclepie19 · 09/07/2014 22:48

Sounds like you've been through a lot bitch peas. Fingers crossed for you :)

lp2014 · 09/07/2014 22:48

Hello! I got kicked off the July bus today too! Stats are-

LP, age 28, ttc #1, cycle 2, bfp due 9th august.

Not too sure of bfp due date really as cycles normally about 26 days but June/July was 31 days just to mess with my head!

Good luck gang! Xx

CoffeeOne · 09/07/2014 23:16

CD6 for me too cinnamon I'm expecting to test around the 10th August. Feels so far away!
