We've had a few BFPs so far this month but we want (and deserve) more! One last thread to finish off July in style!

siarie really sorry, be kind to yourself. Hopefully it will just be due to it being first cycle off the pill. Fx august will be a lucky month for you.

Cpt1sock · 26/07/2014 08:57

Sorry, me again. mrse sounds lovely apart from little people sticking their feet in places. Enjoy your day at the beach & the rest of your holiday.

Siarie sorry you're out. I also have a short luteal phase, but mine seems to be stuck like this. I think I'll take vitB6 all through my next cycle to try and help length my luteal phase.

Kurama hold it in, and fx for a BFP later on! Let us know!

Cpt all this guess work is horrible isn't it? I've been so sure this month that it was happening for me, I know the heartburn, bubbly feeling and extra gassyness was definitely real, but now I'm 90% sure AF is arriving today. Sorry you're in pain Sad and fx for a BFP for you this month.

You're not out yet Bluesky!

Fx for BFP today Kurama and for you too Cpt1

Chandlers - lightening crotch really is an awesome name for a biog! Grin
I like to think it was my vajay-Kay gearing up for future greatness but it bloody hurt! 8/9 DPO today and POAS FRER this morning. BFN. AF not due til Thursday and I feel daft for wasting the FRER but I just had an urge to test. Yesterday I had the faintest line on an OPK which stupidly gave me some false hope.

Siarie sorry you're out Sad. Onwards to August Thanks

Cpt1sock · 26/07/2014 10:25

So tempted to nip to boots for a hpt. I think I'm 9dpo. It'll be a big fat waste of money, repeat it'll be a big fat waste of monies! Also scared of getting faint line then AF starting.

Lightening crotch - bad name for a wrestler or porn star.

lucieloos · 26/07/2014 10:52

I'm out, AF has arrived in full flow. I think I am going to stop taking pregnacare this cycle and switch to normal folic acid. I have felt so rough this 2ww with nausea and cramps, backache and all the rest of it. I've heard people say that sometimes pregnacare make them feel sick etc so going to see if that makes a difference as can't face a 2ww like that every month and it isn't normal for me.

Fx for all of you still on the July bus, hope there are some more bfps on here very soon. Off to catch a ride on the August bus now and enjoy a few drinks tonight!

notoasthere · 26/07/2014 11:02

Sorry to hear you are out Siarie

Any word from Kitty?

I hope there will be a few more BFPs in this bus! I'm off to August, but I would like to see that bus a bit less busy.

Once I do get pregnant, I will be off any bus as soon as I can. I get motion sickness very quickly, so imagine what will happen once I'm pregnant... Shock

Cpt1sock · 26/07/2014 12:07

Sorry to see you go lucie & fatty I hope the August bus is a lucky one.

I suggested to dh I nipped to the shops for a hpt, he said " oi, cpt, noooo!" :) hhmmmm

Hope kuramas break is soon! someone needs to poas? I might see what an opk has to offer me.

fattycow · 26/07/2014 12:17

Thanks, cpt.

I just did the maths again for if August is my month. I would be telling people at the end of October (no special dates for us at all around then) and I would be due on the last day of April, which would be nice as it was my great grandmother's birthday. Smile

angelaham · 26/07/2014 12:56

Lucieloo I took pregnacare last month and had awful side effects making me feel sick, cramps sleepy terrible headaches , I think it suits some people and not others ,

Siarie sorry to hear you are out, hoping next month is your month .

My spotting has seemed to have stopped so fingers crossed it is a sign that It was implantation but I am trying not to get my hopes up,

fattycow · 26/07/2014 13:06

angela, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

lucieloos · 26/07/2014 13:47

Thanks Angela, I'm definitely going to give it a go without the pregnacare. Hopefully I will have a much more pleasant 2ww next month! Fx for your implantation!

angelaham · 26/07/2014 14:49

Thanks girls, just had a slight amount of spotting but no where near as much and its still brown, Sorry for being so graphic, my tummy feels funny, and bloated and i don't feel hungry either, and felt a bit sickie when in the supermarket and could smell some hot food cooking, my period is due from Monday onwards

Nordicmom · 26/07/2014 17:07

Sorry siarie and lucieloos!
Best of luck to others still waiting to find out.
9 dpo almost over. I managed to do the trip to ancient ruins this morning with both kids in tow. Amazingly went 3 h without toilet too even though must have been to loo 15-20 times yesterday it was ridiculous. Haven't had more blood since 7 dpo morning on tp when I wiped. Been nauseous , tired , lower back pain but not so much cramping today . Annoyed about only having 1 more test with me but going home day after tomorrow so I prob will use it tomorrow morning or the next and then test again when I get home at night , I've got 3 more at home waiting . Historically the crunch time for me has been 10 Dpo with chemicals too so I'm nervous and feeling quite despondent :(. Grrrrrr... Just waiting for the inevitable

Angela fx it's implantation! It certainly sounds promising!

I might try taking just folic acid and vitamin B6 next month rather than the pregnancy multi vitamin I've been taking the past few months as I'm thinking that's what's caused me to feel so rough during my TWW that and my hypochondria

Still waiting for AF but almost certain it will arrive this evening.

Nordic that's good you managed to feel better and get out on the tour. It's never good being unwell on holiday but hopefully it's for a good reason IYKWIM. If I were you I'd test tomorrow, but that's because I'm a POAS addict and have no self control.

Nordicmom · 26/07/2014 17:36

I know blue but I've only got the 1 cb test left and it'll be only 10 dpo tomorrow. We'll get home after midnight on the eve of mon 11dpo so think I'll want to use it on that morning rather. Last cycle early this month got faint lines on 11 dpo and 12 dpo then bleeding started later on that 12 dpo . I've got a long history of chemicals and miscarriages so am on edge and very pessimistic anyway .

Blueskygirl30 · 26/07/2014 17:42

Nordic I see your predicament now. Plus, aren't cb tests more likely to give you a false negative as they're not as sensitive, or something like that? In this case, it would definitely be best to wait until 12dpo to use the test, if you can!

OP posts:
Nordicmom · 26/07/2014 17:48

Yes they're meant to work earliest 4 d before your expected af but I like using them they've never given me odd results except maybe last month but from my experience think that was a chemical since I had lines on two mornings wouldn't be evap surely on two different tests on two days that the second one was a bit darker...

Nordicmom · 26/07/2014 17:48

Getting so quiet and lonely here now that month's ending

Nordicmom · 26/07/2014 17:50

Sorry meant to say earlier that the crucial time has been between 10-14dpo

cinnamongreyhound · 26/07/2014 17:51

Sorry to hear af has definitely arrived Sairie and lucieloos :(

Glad spotting has stopped angelaham too.

I'm trying to wait until Thursday too Cpt1sock! Sure I ov 16th so af should be here by Thursday, but my resolve is weakening! I have several IC and one tesco at the moment so don't need to shop to poas.

Cpt1sock · 26/07/2014 19:29

angela fx for implantation, good sign it's stopping.

cinnamon I think I ov'd on the 16th too. We'll have to keep ourselves busy over the next few days. I'll be ok tomorrow, we're travelling to see various family members so no chance to slope off secret shopping. I'm not making any promises for Monday.
