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. :)

You have the patience of a Saint, my lovely
Holiday was lovely. Was basically a Cricket Widow for a week. My DH plays for a team that tours and plays 6 of the local clubs up there. Wasn't bale to pay Scarborough thisyear kurama due to some festival or something with meant the cricket ground was outnof action.
Weather was actually fairly good for the Moors and only two games rained off this time. I was glad I could just sit by the Cricket Huts and read quietly - I wouldn't have liked to have been at work with this particular AF!

No idea why that sentence to you kurama was quite so appallingly written!

Hey kitty - sorry if I upset you. Didn't mean to. Sending you a big virtual squeeze to say sorry xxxx Also sorry to hear you're having a rough time. Fx for your BFP soon :)

kitty welcome back we missed you have been thinking of you. Im glad af finally came but sorry it was so painful.

spinning were not spending much money at the mo just incase I get pg. My dp is the ultimate money worrier so were not going away in September now cos it costs to much.

Spent the whole day on the sofa feel a bit better not so sick today but boobs a bit tender and creamy cm...setting myself up for a fall again seeing all these symptoms

Kitty you are stunning to address us all personally and you always put everything so sympathetically.

I really hope the holiday has given you plenty of rest and taken your mind off ttc a little. It can be quite overwhelming can't it.

I wish I'd known about the buses last time I was ttc it was such a lonely time and it felt like it went on for eternity. I had a really tearful day on Thursday. All if you have been such fantastic support. You such a lovely lot for everyone.

Aww, hugs back Spotti I really didn't word that last post very well, did I?! It was more of, what you did was so lovely, and Fathers Day would have been perfect, I wanted to do it too
I will just leave it up to the old, "stick a piss-stick in his face" method when I get there!
Hope you and little Spotlet are doing fabulously!!!

Eeeek hi kitty :)
Lovely to see you back.
Hope you enjoyed your hols and so sorry you were left in limbo :(
Thanks for looking at my chart :) to be honest it would probably best of I haven't ovulated after having the thrush tablet and getting horrendously drunk on Thursday night... but still.

Hope you're ok Spotti :)
I need to get on the computer to read back properly... I'm useless!

Awwww Kitty we missed you!! X

sunbathing im gonna try to dtd tonight if dh/me! isnt too tired, he has all the early shifts at mo so make it hard. espesh as most of my shifts are evening ones! i forgot to ask what the numbers were so i dont know when i might have ovd. still hoping for wed/thurs.
genni sorry youve fallen out and i hope you make it up with dh soon.
spinning yes we have those kinds of convos, mainly as we are planning a week trip to germany just before crimbo, and another down near devon in about 4 years for dhs gdad as he always took dh there when he was younger. hopefully we should have kids by then, and they can come. dh thinks we should leave kids here with family when we go to germany if we have them. i said maybe i wouldnt want to leave babies under a year old for that long!!!

welcome back kitty!!! we missed you!!!!! roar
wahoo banana ! dtd!
fx misty its never too early for a penis dragon to start symptom spotting!
thanks kitty! Im doing it to try and keep my hopes up right now. i must admit i bought a fathers day card too, and a birthday card for dh back in may.... loved spottis card. Im really hoping i get a bfp before im due back at fertility clinic this month, i did have one of those psychics that email u that i will get good news around 20th aug.. thats around when af.bfp would be due! omg maybe that medium tara, in case anyones heard of her
kitty thats a shame, i didnt realise there was something going on a cricket ground as well. i know seafest was on. glad you had a good holiday though. sorry af was rough this month.
blueberry fx that this is your lucky month.
mrsE sorry you had a bad day on thurs. hope your feeling better now.

GO AUGUST PENIS ROAR!

Lovely to see you back KittyVonCatsington although that you need the space due to af. I hope you had good holiday despite the af from hell.

I would like to thank everyone for taking the time to inspect my tests and also apologise as it appears I was getting ahead of myself again. I started spotting about an hour ago . It's light at the moment but I am not kidding myself that it is implantation bleeding as that will lead to more disappointment. Technically I do get another shot at august with new af date of 31st but I haven't decided as yet as to how much effort I am going to put in this month. I have been signed up to the clearblue trial but since it is on hold they haven't sent me anything for this cycle.

What colour is the spotting and is it blood or coloured cm, Grand? please, never apologise, it is what we are all here for

It doesnt have to be implantation for spotting, I had it I'm early pregnancy with ds2 and all was fine. I really hope it is just spotting and not the start of af. Get a good nights sleep and see how it is in the morning

Aw you're so lovely Kitty (-tears up a bit then rants under breath about stupid hormones- lol), I know we all are here to support each other through this and I am happy to offer support too where I can. I just feel a bit silly for getting my hopes up and asking you and the other wonderful ladies here to pore over potential lines for two months now only for af to arrive.
The spotting is currently a very light pink and is quite scant atm so difficult for me to say for sure that it is just blood or blood and cm. I think that's mostly to do with the fact it has not long started though. I expect af to start properly in the morning.

Sorry cinnamongreyhound x-post there. I did have bleeding while pg with dc1 but I do think it is af this time tbh. My temps have been gradually dropping over the last couple of days and I would have thought that a hpt would have shown a better line by now tbh. Thank you for the flowers.

Pink is good. Remember Serenity's pink cm before her BFP? Keep a close eye on it but this doesn't mean you are out, even if you haven't had it before with your other pregnancies and I did see a line!

X-post with you too! Try to rest and see what tomorrow brings sweetie. Here is a caffeine free for you

Thank you Kitty for the advice and the tea . I will be heading to bed soon (as soon as big brother finishes and I can peel my husband away from the tv -eyeroll-). Speak to you all in the morning. x

Final quick one from me before I sign off for the night to say that it is more red than pink now. It is still very light and I find it when I ahem investigate iyswim. But I am pretty sure that I am going to try again this month but with the soy isoflavones and will probably try switching my temp taking method to vaginally rather than orally to hopefully make my chart a bit more stable. Goodnight all.

Night grand, hope you get some answers soon :)

DH just told me that af must be on the way as I've been so moody :p

Argh sat up cos dp woke up ill and now is throwing up in the bathroom.

What makes it worse is hes got a mega phobia of being sick/ill so I literally have to hold his hand poor bloke.

Trying very hard not to be sick myself this nausea doesnt help.

fx its not AF grand our bodies really do like messing with us.

kitty you really are lovely im so glad to see you back! (Although id rather you got a bfp)

blueberry I've read back today and im so happy to read youre ovulating! fx it works for you this month! Hope your poor dp feels better soon.

Im lying in bed whilst dh snores beside me. dtd earlier today and got home half an hour ago and i was really up for it again but nooo zzzz!!

grandhigh nooo stay away af!

Hi jdear thanks I was so happy to see the positive opk after 16 months! Imagine how excited I'll be when its a bfp lol.

Lol my dp snores its so annoying I have to kick him to make him turn over lol

Yes a swift kick or punch in the side works wonders haha. So what is your next step? Which obviously you wont need to take as youre going to get your bfp this month :-)

Ive been to the gynae already next appointment is beginning of September he recons I wasnt ovulating because of my weight which is bull because im ovulating now and ive only lost a couple of lbs. I had a hsg a couple of weeks ago ive also had a scan of my ovaries and ive got one more day 21 blood test.

Then I guess if im not pg by September I go back and see what the next step is.

I really hope I dont need to go back though because I've always found it hard to loose weight with my various joint and back probs so we will see.

How many cycles have you been ttc?
