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

Yes indomitable. Let's hope marmites coil success wings it's way over to us!

Yes Indomitable test with me! Although DH is off to the doc today, and I'm not sure we're going to get a chance to DTD during my fertile time this month :( Also waiting on the arrival of some OPKs, so this month might be a write-off for me.

Supposed to have AF tomorrow but so far so good no sign... but although it feels strange down there, i mostly feel my usual self and don't think i've had any symptoms though technically i would be in my 2 week so...hm now the waiting game i guess!!

That's me off the June bus with af coming 4 days late. Why does the body like to play tricks and get hope up then smash with disappointment.
Rant over.
Hello my fellow July people fx for 25% or more bfps for this month.
######stats#######
33 ttc #1 cycle 12 af 27th July

Hi Rachelc. Commiserations on Mother Nature playing a cruel trick with a late AF. Ranting wholly acceptable in these circumstances, rant away.
FX for July x

Sorry to hear that Rachel but welcome anyway

Hypothetical question: If cd1 was 7th June and you had a cycle of around 26-30 days. When is the earliest you'd test?

Hey, I'm just asking, haven't peed on anything.......honestly.

Thank you carrot and magpie. My mood has just became a bit more positive.... just received a phone call from the fertility clinic with a cancellation appointment for this Friday. Looks like things are finally looking up for us. Does anyone know what happens at first appointment what they do ect what investigations they start with?

Llamma id say sat 4 july only bcos im roughly the same as you but af due thurs so earliest i cld test is tomorrow due to being 11dpo. Depends when u ov

Thanks Jubbly. I need to back away from all thoughts of testing. I'm a crazy pee lady. I hate any form of uncertainty.

sorry to hear that rachel, fx for this month!

llama I'm the same as you, totally need to back away from the piss sticks! I ended up testing this morning (9dpo) and obvs BFN. far too early! need to now hold out until Thursday at the earliest... I'm due tomorrow/Thursday so really need to get a grip.

Thank you marmite fx for you too

rachel I'm waiting on an appt from fertility so I would love to know what happens for you on Friday. Good luck!

Fee fingers crossed!
Rachel sorry to hear that but hopefully July will be a good month!

Every cloud, rachel... no experience but lots of good info on other threads here about fertility appts.
llama and marmite I'm a testing addict too. Have recently finished monitoring after a molar pregnancy where they have to watch your hCG levels for a while to check they get back to normal - I was testing alternate days willing it to be BFN and hence normal, and now getting my head round wanting a BFP again!
I got BFP 13dpo last time but always struggle to hold out and end up testing stupidly early

Been thrown a complete curve ball for the start of this cycle. DH has a major health scare. He has been to the dr and we are waiting for him to get referred, which should be a very quick turnaround. FX it is a false alarm and nothing serious - I'm just really going to struggle with waiting to know. Feeling really overwhelmed with it, but me acting stressed won't help him. TTC can't be a priority, but this is making me feel even more anxious about it.

Oh no! You must be so worried pallas. FX that it's a very swift and positive diagnosis

Thinking of you Pallas hope all is well

Thinking of you Pallas. Having gone through a health scare with my OH recently, I completely understand how it can make you feel even more anxious about ttc. I felt SO selfish that I was suddenly thinking "I might not get the chance to have a baby" (completely selfish, I know ) but we are human and it's natural to feel that way. I really do hope it's a false alarm or whatever it is can be treated/managed.

Marmite, magpie, we can do this...restraint, self control, patience, distraction. Actually, I might just give DH the pee sticks so I can't be tempted.

Pallas

Hope everything works out ok pallas
How is everyone? I'm on CD6 and have recurring back ache - hardly making me want to ttc!

I wanted to ask - my app tells me I'm most fertile from cd10-17 but is it common to ovulate quickly after AF finishes? I'm guessing just dtd as often as poss is the best way?!

Oh my god Pallas that's scary. Hope it all gets sorted soon for you both

sorry to hear that Pallas hope everything turns out ok

londonlady yes I think you can ov that early - my last cycle was 24 days so I think I ov quite soon after my period ended (whereas this month I didn't ov till cd20!)

woke up feeling very pessimistic, am due to test tomorrow. small temp drops yesterday, still at temp from 5dpo so not sure if temp drop is just me getting over the virus I caught off DD (although I still feel like crap), or AF on its way, or the fact I slept with the windows open and stripped down to my pants as my room was so hot yesterday evening! I guess time will tell

sorry last post meant to say 'small temp drops yesterday and today'. really ought to proof read before posting!

Hope all goes well Pallas - best of luck...

My AF is 2 days late, we've only been trying for a month though so can't believe i'd already be pregnant, but not a sign of AF and i've been a clockwork 24 days cycle for the past few months...

DH says don't get too excited might just be late because we moved house and stress can delay it.

I've not got many symptoms apart from light stomach cramps yesterday, but not sure how you are supposed to feel when pregnant.

So...i'm waiting after a week of missed AF and then i guess the next logical step is to test then see a doc if no AF at all?
