All aboard for hopefully a short ride! For those who have already hopped of the July bus and need the August journey and for those testing late July should they want to join.

If you want to be added to stats please add in following format so hopefully I wont miss you

Odog I think smears are a bit of an issue when ttc. I don't think you can have one if you might be pregnant so that narrows it down to just after af. I can't remember if you have to go at a certain point in your cycle.

I tried to book one before we ttc as I'm due one in dec but I was told they wouldn't do it more than 6 months in advance of when you need it.

ODog · 14/08/2015 20:00

I thought that might be the case kitty. I will call the docs and see what they say. If I do fall this cycle then I will have to see if I can defer it to way after I give birth - ouch and if not then it will have to be strategically planned right after AF, who since the end of bf has turned up whenever she bloody well feels like it. Could be tricky...!

RalucaMorena · 14/08/2015 20:14

I was told if I don't know for sure if I am or not pregnant I should postpone smear test until af comes or I get a positive hpt

KittyandTeal · 14/08/2015 20:42

If you do fall it's fine. I was due one when I was pregnant with dd1. They just deferred it to a few months after she was born. I was bfing so it didn't really matter when in the cycle as af disappeared for 18 months!

3Princes99 · 14/08/2015 22:32

Only cd9 but Nearly positive opk here! so think tomorrow will be a positive. That gives me another 24 day cycle! Hubby out tonight but will dtd tomorrow, keeping everything crossed this month (apart from my legs)Confused

daisylassy · 14/08/2015 23:02

Bonkers - that happened to me last month. I came off pill was quite pleased that it seemed cycles were 25/26 days then July ended up been 21. Af just arrived today for me taking me to a 28 day cycle. I use ovia to help me track them. I don't remember them been this painful though!!
Birchy here are my new stats..
Ttc no 1
Cycle no 5
Test date 10th September

I'm trying the clear blue trial this month. Peeing in a pot for the next 28 ish days...

Banana79 · 15/08/2015 06:37

No you can't have a smear while preggers ODog

Jellybean100 · 15/08/2015 09:52

Af got me so I am officially out and waiting to jump on the next bus x

MrsNuckyThompson · 15/08/2015 10:06

Sorry to hear that Jelly.

I think AF due in about 7 days. On CD28 of a 33-35 day cycle.

Symptom spotting but nothing to report except a break out of spots. Don't normally get more than one before AF and have about 3 or 4 biggies. Might it mean something other than bad skin?!

KittyandTeal · 15/08/2015 11:27

Sorry to hear that jelly.

I'll know in the next 2-7 days if I'm on the next one. I suspect I will be.

I'm feeling rotten atm, sore throat and sinus infection so properly dosed up atm

On cd16, 4 days past ovulation and I'm suffering with period like cramps. Does anybody else get or know what it is? I'm trying not to symptom spot but I'm sure it's far to early for implantation?

Sorry AF got you jelly

RalucaMorena · 15/08/2015 14:56

The only thing strange for me is that in the last 4 days my bbt is constant Hmm.
6dpo and counting...

MrsNuckyThompson · 15/08/2015 15:01

Also - carrot did you go to the epu for your scan? Thinking I might have missed a post from you!!

pulpi · 15/08/2015 16:20

Temperature finally spiked on CD 16. Celebrated with entire 200g bar of Fruit and Nut in lieu of wine.

CarrotVan · 15/08/2015 21:15

It's not until the 24th mrsnucky no point until then as they won't be able to see much

MrsNuckyThompson · 15/08/2015 23:16

Hi Carrot - yes suppose that makes sense. Time seems to take forever in ttc land for all sorts of reasons!!

3Princes99 · 16/08/2015 10:37

Alittle confused this morning still not quite a positive opk but had a tiny bit of spotting on the paper this morning which would indicate ovulation bleeding?? I've done 6 opk's in the last 48 hours so I can't of missed the peak surely. I know it's quite rare for ovulation bleeding but for those who've had it, Do you bleed before the egg is released?

Emilygremily · 16/08/2015 12:53

still frustrated no af and still no positive test :(

How over due is af for both of you?

Emilygremily · 16/08/2015 15:37

about 6 days now :(

MrsNuckyThompson · 16/08/2015 15:57

I was 14 days late last cycle then she just appeared. So frustrating because if you're not pg you just want to know and move onto the next cycle, right?!

birchygoo · 16/08/2015 16:13

crunchy and Emily how frustrating - this happened me one month and I went until cd39!!!! Its horrible because if its a bfn you just want to get cracking on with the next cycle.

I think I have missed a few peoples posts - I have tried to have a read back through last couple of pages and update the stats. I have been super busy with work recently.

carrot I may have missed posts from you (last I heard we had a potential bfp?)

MrsNucky, Pallas, Vikki, MissPepper, Whystannis I am really sorry if I have missed your posts! I hope it was a BFP and not AF.

We are really not doing very good for BFP this month - so we must have lots to come!!

However we have lots of good friends for the Sept journey! Anyone want to suggest a name and I will start a new bus...
