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!

How annoying janey AF is certainly not welcome on these buses! You are being very positive though; very admirable Grin

Capt You poor thing! Is there any reason that TTC might be harmful to you or is it the stress it ight cause? I can imagine how panicky you must be feeling and I hope this hip pain means nothing and your BFP is just around the corner xxx

cinnamongreyhound · 22/07/2014 22:36

My friend suffers from Arthritis Capt1sock and she's been given until Christmas before her doctor wants to put her on drugs that mean she will have to stop ttc, at least for 6 months. She says if she hasn't fallen by then she's going to stop altogether :( horrible to have that deadline.

Blueskygirl30 · 22/07/2014 22:58

Oh Cpt I hadn't quite realised your situation. I really really hope that the hip pain is to do with a BFP rather than AF so that you don't have a tough choice to make regarding carry on ttc.Thanks

Cpt I'm sorry you're in pain Thanks

gennibugs · 22/07/2014 23:28

Sorry cpt - hope you are not in too much pain. Fx it's not AF.

kurama · 22/07/2014 23:38

Damn capt that's not good. I don't know about the 2nd drug but I know my specialist is kicking up a fuss as he wants me back on methotrexate ..... I know if he wins that's me out of ttc.... Hope u get ur BFP before that becomes the case!
Sorry for anyone af has got
And hello spotting!Grin How is everything???

ChandlersFarang · 23/07/2014 04:21

Cpt I'm sorry to hear about your hip! And am rooting for all of you left in the game for July. I'm definitely out now as I haven't ovulated - yet - BUT I think today I might just have a wee bit of EWCM?! I never get this so hoping it's either a result of the meds i'm on or my acupuncture! Or... As per the below... Is it LEFT OVER JIZZ?!

That age-old conundrum! Lol!! How on earth does anyone really know for sure if you've been DTD every day or every other day!?! And then you throw some fertile lube into the mix and wow, then who knows for sure what's what!!!?! Grin

KittyVonCatsington · 23/07/2014 07:01

This is what I read about the difference between jizz and EWCM, Chandlers:
Jizz will be slightly more cloudy in colour and will break more easily between your fingers
EWCM should be clear and hold it's structure in between your fingers.

What happens when the two mix together..well, I'm still not 100% on that Grin

lucieloos · 23/07/2014 07:11

Had a big temp drop today and a smaller one yesterday. I'm 10dpo and AF is due on sat. Poas anyway and was bfn. Feels like AF is on her way. I'm gutted I really thought that it might have been my chance this month :(

Cisforcat · 23/07/2014 07:57

Lucie hope it isn't AF- I had a big temp drop 10 and 11 DPO. It then went back up and on 12DPO I got a BFP. Don't loose hope!

notoasthere · 23/07/2014 08:01

Don't give up hope just yet!

kitty what's your temp up to today?

lucieloos · 23/07/2014 08:29

Thanks Cis and Notas, I have mild cramps and woke up with a really bad headache as well so not holding out too much hope. I had a big temp dip at 7dpo as well which I assumed would be an implantation dip so I'm not sure what this current dip could be other than AF but I guess all will be revealed soon!

KittyVonCatsington · 23/07/2014 08:30

No AF but I've had a temp drop too to 36.93!! Have already resigned myself to it being pregnant as at CD41 with another BFN so actually wanting AF now so I can give August a good try. At this rate, I might miss August completely! Smile
Lucie 10 dpo is still very early. Don't give up hope yet!

lucieloos · 23/07/2014 08:39

Thanks kitty, so sorry you are going through such a hard time this cycle. Fingers crossed for an answer for you one way or another soon

ChandlersFarang · 23/07/2014 08:43

Thank you Kitty, our oracle on the jizz/EWCM conundrum! Grin Good to know. Am thinking it's all been the former for me with that review, but will keep 'em peeled!!

Lucie good luck! Doesn't sound like you're out yet!! Smile

TheDetective · 23/07/2014 09:15

AF has entered the building. Grrrrr. A day early.

August bus for me!

JaneyTea · 23/07/2014 09:17

Thanks lovelies. Sorry to hear that AF also got you TheDetective

gennibugs · 23/07/2014 09:29

Morning all

oh detective sorry AF got you.
Good luck for august.

lucie don't give up hope.

kitty bah I'm frustrated for you. Do I recall you having a long cycle on a previous bus?

I'm 10/11 dpo. just the usual pre AF cramps here and headache so expect she'll arrive Saturday. I'm not going to bother testing unless I'm late! Smile

Cpt1sock · 23/07/2014 09:37

Morning ladies,

Thank you for the messages, I'm feeling a bit better this morning, going to cling to a bit of hope until AF shows or hopefully doesn't show up.

kitty ttc itself isn't harmful and once I get a BFP I'll feel tons better. I went into remission with previous preg & bf, it's just the bit in between when disease activity is still high and I can't take meds to reduce it.

cinnamon your poor friend, it's awful to have it taken out of your hands. I hope she gets her BFP soon.

kurama sounds like we are in the same boat. How will your husband feel if you are advised to stop ttc? I know they can't make us take anything we don't want to but my dh will always side with science, head always rules the heart, I'm the complete opposite. Fx for BFPs all round.

janey sorry AF arrived! I hope the august bus is a lucky one.

chandler woo for ewcm! Can you imagine saying that to someone in real life haha. Let the shagathon begin!

lucie & kitty fx it's not AF. I don't temp but I did notice last night was a lot cooler than it has been in. I've been sleeping without covers but woke up cold last night. Could that cause your dip?

I need to apply fake tan today, I've never done it before. I've got the most ridiculous tan line from wearing leggings with gladiators sandals! It needs sorting otherwise I'm going to look like a fool on the beach!

Have a lovely day.

Cpt1sock · 23/07/2014 09:38

dectective sorry AF arrived, fx for an August BFP for you. X

Siarie · 23/07/2014 10:03

All these AF's, sorry to anyone who has got there's I'm hoping for some more BFP's!

Still ladies they say it's like 20% chance each cycle (who knows why it's 20% I don't?) for couples without any fertility issues, positive thinking for next cycle!

I am 7/8DPO and had a temp dip this morning, could be implantation or could be totally nothing but as long as my temp goes up tomorrow I'll be pleased either way! I've got some mild pinching now and then going on, but still on the lookout for any spotting.

Feeling quite positive today, even if it isn't my turn this month (rightly so it would be cycle 1) then I'm not going to beat myself up about it. Instead I'm going to enjoy lots of wine when AF comes! xx

kurama · 23/07/2014 10:18

thedetective sorry that the witch arrived, fx for august.
kitty and lucie fx its not af on her way.
cpt im a stubborn cow when i want to be. the specialist doesnt like seeing me for that reason :) i think dh would side with my wishes, at least i hope so.

cinnamongreyhound · 23/07/2014 10:44

Sorry you got af TheDetective :(

Hang in there all those still waiting!!

Nordicmom · 23/07/2014 11:41

Sorry for AFs detective and others . Fear I'm heading that way too . Managed not to think about it yesterday since felt quite ok . Spent the day swimming and eating and sleeping :). Ds and DH went sailing etc but I haven't even made it to the beach yet from the villa, will later though . Today having lower back pain and some cramps at 7 dpo so can't avoid it now. Aargh hate this bloody countdown ...might have used 1/3 of my tests... Will wait with the other two ,nowhere to get more easily.

KittyVonCatsington · 23/07/2014 11:44

Hi genni You have a great memory!! Sadly, that long cycle (43days) was the one after my chemical pregnancy so I just put it down to the fact HCG levels might have taken a while to go down to zero and it might have been anovulatory. Now I'm wondering if this might mean something is wrong.

AF might very well be on her way as I feel as sick as a dog and my boobs really really hurt. She is a cruel bitch...

Off to see my Reflexologist now. I will come back all calm and serene Grin
