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!

Cinnamon and Cpt that's so controlled and wise of you both waiting to test. I think I've damaged my eyesight this month from squinting at tests which have no line and trying to see one!

Nordic it has gone so quiet! I had a quick peek at the August bus in anticipation of AF this evening and it's really busy over there. I didn't want to jinx myself so closed the browser again quickly.

blue I think cinnamon is controlled, she has hpts in her house. I'm more lazy than controlled. I need to go shopping to buy one. I'm scared of tempting fate by going peeping at the August bus lol. Not v.many days of July left now though.

Mummabubbles · 26/07/2014 21:16

so I'm officially off to the August bus. af arrived this morning. booooooo.
Good luck to anyone who is still in with a July chance x

kurama · 26/07/2014 21:24

Hoping for more BFPs before this bus ends but it looks like my line yest may be ConfusedHmm I'm sure I can see a hint of purple in the grey line, but today I've had 3 bfns. No self control here at all and now I feel really down for daring to hope .fx to those left here x

Cpt1sock · 26/07/2014 21:31

Sorry AF arrived mumma fx for August, I'm sure we are due a bumper BFP bus after how shy they've been in July.

kurama how frustrating! So sorry you are back in limbo again Angry how are you feeling symptom wise?

BrixtonBunny · 27/07/2014 07:10

Any good news this morning?

Sorry I've been absent the last few days, have been so busy, currently in Scotland visiting DP's grandma then off to Edinburgh today to see his cousin who has the loveliest little boy, so I'm looking forward to lots of toddler cuddles!

Af due tomorrow and I'm so certain she will arrive that I had two big glasses of wine Thursday night. Have been feeling a little grumpy and irritable which is always a sure sign the witch is about to show up, plus crampy and exhausted like all my limbs are made of lead.

This bus is getting so quiet! But hanging on until last minute to get off. So sorry we've had a spate of bad luck over the last few days, and sending huge hugs to those af got.

I'm certain we're due at least a few more BFPs soon!

Will catch up later, sending love to al xxx

Morning everyone

Brixton that sounds like a lovely weekend!

Sorry AF arrived Mumma fx for a BFP on the August bus. And for BFPs all round! We definitely need some more soon!

Kurama sorry you're back in limbo, are you testing again? If so, fx!!

AF is officially a day late now, I had the teensiest tiniest amount of brown spotting yesterday and was expecting to wake up for the witch to have greeted me during the night. But so far nothing. I'm 12dpo now and have done an IC and a FRER for double checking this morning and still BFNs. I felt super cranky on Friday, like I normally do the day before AF but yesterday felt fine apart from being really tired. I'm still expecting AF today and since I'm still getting BFNs I'm not getting my hopes up.

Morning. Well boobs are still sore but a lot less sore than normal. Still getting small waves of nausea and still feel bloated. Had a few dizzy spells due to heat? but no mood swings. So god knows what's happening. Gonna phone docs tomoro and ask for blood test!

BrixtonBunny · 27/07/2014 07:42

Fx Kurama, when was af due? X

BrixtonBunny · 27/07/2014 08:23

Bluesky that sounds annoying, but I haven't given up hope for you yet! How are you feeling? X

Cpt1sock · 27/07/2014 08:38

Morning everyone.

Woke up feeling AF had started but I was wrong again. I'm so sure I'm going to start any second, I'll be running to the loo every 10min. I'm really excited to think AF is possibly going to turn up when expected & not days early. I've got no symptoms other than stomach cramps, boobs are no longer killing me. I'm feeling snotty, could do without getting a cold just before we go away.

brixton sound like you've had/having a lovely weekend. We are travelling to see family today, it was my sisters 40th on Thursday. I'll get to see my 10 month old great niece. She's beautiful, don't see her nearly as much as I'd like. I hope AF stays away, will you test in the morning if no AF? I'm not sure if to test tomorrow or wait another day or 2.

blue there's still hope mrs! Late ov or late implantation maybe? AF being AWOL is a good sign. Are you going to wait a couple of days before testing again?

kurama Aarrrgghhh! I hope dr will do a blood test for you. How annoying for you.

BrixtonBunny · 27/07/2014 09:09

Cpt I think I'll test on Tuesday if no af tomorrow (but feels very unlikely)!

Have a wonderful day with your family, and really hope your cold clears up. Sorry for short reply just need to get off the train! Xx

Cpt they sound like good symptoms to me! A cold is meant to be good isn't it? As your body weakens it's immune system so that it doesn't fight off the teeny tiny egg that's trying to grow.

Well, the witch has found me. She was a day late and I managed to lengthen my luteal phase by 2 days this month so I can take that as a positive into the next month.

Good luck to you ladies and I'll keep popping in to see all of your BFPs arrive in the next few days, because let's face it, mathematically the odds are totally with you! Smile

Sorry to hear that af arrived Mummabubbles and blueskygirl30 :(

Sorry to hear you are still getting bfn's kurama.

I think it's the sadness and disappointment that comes with a bfn that's stopping me!

Nordicmom · 27/07/2014 09:36

Sorry about AF blue!
Hope you'll get that blood test soon kurama!
Cpt1 and Brixton I guess we're still in the running :)
I'm 10 dpo . Much of the same here. Managed not to use my last test this morning . Will do it tomorrow if no AF. I keep on feeling more or less sick , been hot recently even in the airconditioning I found cold earlier at nights. Persistent annoying lower back ache . Feel my right ovary and cramps on and off . Boobs feel heavy and ache but not super sore . Off a lot of foods . The thought of chocolate I normally devour at this time of the month makes me want to puke .aargh this waiting is so horrible .

Nordicmom · 27/07/2014 09:39

Can't distract myself anymore because of how bad I feel all the time . Luckily going home tomorrow. I want my own bed and to have my own bedroom . This has been a lovely place but I've had enough of being the same space most of the time . Looking at villas in Finland now. Found a perfect one but I'm sure we won't get it . Fx it'll be ok and we're off there in 3 w to see my family .

angelaham · 27/07/2014 09:42

Morning everyone,
I still have brown spotting, thought yesterday around lunch time it had stopped but i had a little last night and then more this morning, boobs are still sore to touch, and my stomach feels crampy/sore, my period is due anytime from tomorrow onwards i have been anywhere from 28 to 30 days, if i am not pregnant then i am so worried about the spotting and why i have it, i came off Yasmin at the end of Decemeber, i felt so confident yesterday and happy and now today i am panicky

sorry for the rant,

Kurama and CPT fx for you!!

sorry that the witch has got you Bluesky and Mumma!!

angelaham · 27/07/2014 09:44

Fingers crossed for you too Nordic you have lots of symptoms all sound positive!!

tryinghard2 · 27/07/2014 10:01

hello ladies! i have been happily lurking away this month in an attempt not to symptom spot too much :) but as you were all getting lonely I thought I would say hello. I have absolutely no symptoms at all (haven't driven myself quite so mad this month!) so expecting af on weds. fingers crossed for the few people left in the running :)

Cpt1sock · 27/07/2014 11:10

Well I'm out, having to miss August bus, I hope I don't see any of you on the sept bus ( in a nice way) x

Nordicmom · 27/07/2014 11:53

Sorry cpt! I'm pretty sure I will see you at the sep bus:(
Has anyone had insane sciatica while ttc? I'm dying of it in my right leg . In absolute agony and don't dare to take anything except paracetamol .

Blueskygirl30 · 27/07/2014 12:35

Oh Cpt I'm sorry you're out too. I will probably see you on the September bus. I hope you have a lovely August!

Nordicmom · 27/07/2014 12:41

I've given into the lure of my last test and with a trickle of nonfmu pee it's looking pretty blank . I've never gotten a BFP at 10 dpo though, faint line last cycle 11 dpo with fmu. Oh we'll I'll try again at home tomorrow night .

BrixtonBunny · 27/07/2014 13:21

Oh Cpt I am so gutted for you. How come you're missing a bus? I'll probably see you on the September bus anyway, but sending huge hugs - I'm convinced you will get your BFP before the year is out, and when you do you won't think about the time spent trying, only about what lies ahead! Sending huge hugs, make sure you look after yourself xx

BrixtonBunny · 27/07/2014 13:22

Nordic sorry about bfn but as you say it's still really early! X
