Summer heat, sperm and egg meet on, oh, the July Bus (wo-wo-wo)

[CarrotVan]

Tell me more, tell me more - did you pee on a stick?

THE STATS copied over from the June Bus

Feerouge there isn't any harm in testing now if you think you might be pregnant, they are generally quite accurate after AF is due!

Feerouge....test test test! Good luck fx

Hope all works out ok pallas, thinking of you.
feerouge - take a test!!!

Morning - can I join

I'm 26 ttc no.1 (no.2 for DH) this is cycle 1 of concentrated trying ... However we have been seeing what's happens for the last year with no luck ... Finding my opks very confusing at the minute!

wow feerouge you have more willpower than me! I'd deffo say test.

Had a few cramps yesterday and this morning so think AF is on its way. I really hate all the uncertainty. Kinda wish I just knew one way or another now. If AF doesn't show up today I'll be testing tomorrow morning when I should be 11dpo. Today is going to be looooong.

also, hi fuba! . what are you finding confusing about your opks?

But after seeing that others have had 4 days delay of AF i don't want to waste a pee stick just yet hahaha #stingy

I have a tension feeling in the left side though i don't know if that's a sign of pregnancy - in all cases, will come back here once i've tested.... :D

Fair enough Feerouge. But £1 in Asda or Pundland?!
Good luck, let us know!

Welcome fuba. Never used OPKs but lots here do so ask away.

fuba I've also just started OPKs, so am just trying to figure them out! When will you be testing?
Good luck with testing feerouge!
Hope everything goes ok pallas

I know - think i'm just getting influenced by DH who said dont get too excited too early :D

Welcome Fuba! Join the crazy wagon!

Thanks for being so welcoming ... So at the minute I'm just using Internet cheapies ... But the control line seems really lights ... Also do you know if they are affected by which wee of the day it is? Picture attached of 4 that I have done over the last 2 days ... Would you say the 2nd one is my peak? My cycles have been all over the place for the last year ranging from 64 days to 30 ... They seem to be getting a bit more regular now though...

second one looks a little too light to me fuba, but I think you could have just missed your surge?

Hi, can I join?

clementineclouds, age 38, ttc #1, cycle 1 with clomid (ttc for 14 months).

CD5 today, with my first follicle tracking scan on cd10.

not really sure how these bus's work (as I am new to mumsnet too)...any explanation, would be fab.

Hi Clementine

Does your egg normally get realised 12-24 hours after your surge?

When is everyone POAS?

Welcome fuba and clementine

Fuba - you should use afternoon wee for OPKs and first of the morning for pregnancy. The hormone for OPKs builds up during the day. The control line does seem light and I'm surprised to see the test line getting lighter on test 3 and then darker on test 4

clementine I've not been using the buses that long but they're basically an online support group with cheerleaders and shoulders to cry on. For lots of us I think it's difficult to talk about ttc in 'real life' so places like this where we're all in pretty much the same boat are useful. So post about whatever you want really - chit chat about things other than pregnancy tests and shagging is also welcome

feerouge that is some amazing willpower. More power to your elbow.

Fuba have a gander at the stats (link in the opening post and I've just added you) and you'll probably find some testing buddies

I've got until a week on Saturday based on my ovulation date.

Bollocks - just realised that a) I'm posting like a loon and b) My test date is when the MIL is staying AND we've got a family gathering with 95% of my family. This is not ideal!

Wow Carrot that's a busy time for you then I'm testing on the 10th (The Friday) I'll be 11dpo so could test together?

Hi, I said to myself this month that I was going to try to post on the monthly bus a bit more, but find that pre ov I don't really have much to say. Well today I have something to say...

I think I may have had ovulation related pain this morning. Not noticed any before but it was like a stitch type pain in my right side, where I would imagine my ovary to be and it lasted for a few minutes. Was lying down doing nothing at the time so not exercising or anything to cause a stitch. It's CD14 today. Opk this afternoon was not quite as dark as the control line but not far off, could be related to drinking lots on this sunny day, so definitely going to dtd tonight and also another opk later on.

Princes it seems im a bit behind you this month, not testing till the 17th

Thank you for lovely supportiveness ladies .
OH was really concerned about telling me because he knew I'd worry. And he won't want to tell anyone else is going on until we hear the results after his referral...so for now it's only you (except him) I can talk to about this... and hopefully only you I'll need to, if investigations show there's nothing to worry about... FX FX FX

Sounds like ovulation to me, VioletIbiza!

Good luck Pallas - I've got everything crossed for you x

Definitely sounds like ov, Violet!

Thank you FlatWhite.

Double thank you FlatWhite for super sweet message on the June thread .
Glad you're hanging with us on the July bus! When is your surgery?
