July Bus

Writerwannabe83 · 07/06/2016 10:54

Hi all, I'm starting the July Bus so that we can all cheer each other along even in the very early stages!!

I'm here following the arrival of my AF yesterday so I will now be hoping to get my BFP in July.

My stats: 32, TTC#2, Cycle 2 and CD2.

I've just realised how many number 2's there are in my stats Grin

My cycles aren't too regular following a Mirena removal and a miscarriage earlier this year but I am expecting my FW to start around the 20th of June.

Looking forward to having lots of passengers on this bus followed by lots of us getting our BFPs Grin

Marking my place in case AF shows on thurs! waves at Writer. Still have fingers crossed, but BFN on 10dpo has got me doubting this is my month...

macoronicheese2015 · 07/06/2016 13:55

Argh good luck ladies lets hope the ones in tww have some luck and the rest for July have loads of sticky dust GrinSadHalo

Kn33 · 07/06/2016 15:56

I'm here...
Work can bugger off I'm not putting a baby off because of promotion. Grin that I didn't even really want anyway.

I'm 22, TTC #2, Cycle 2, CD3..
ETD will be 3rd July, which is also my birthday.

So an opportunity for either a nice bday present or for AF to be a right bitch Grin

MrsGsnow18 · 07/06/2016 17:06

Save me a spot on the bus!
When AF comes in a week ( I didnmt ovulate this month so it's inevitable) I'll be on cycle 7 (I'm 28 ttc #1)
Fingers crossed this will be our month!!

Ridiculous though it is, I was pretty upset to see AF this month....even though it was the first month of trying I think I just desperately hoped that I'd be one of the lucky ones that conceives straight away. Anyone else felt like that? DH thinks I'm ridiculous lol. Luckily he's super supportive. Fingers crossed for next month :) March is a far better date to have a baby anyway Wink

Welcome midrog Smile

With my previous two pregnancies I got lucky on my first cycles so I felt pretty downhearted when the same didn't happen this time round.

My DS has a March birthday and he is just fabulous, so yes, March does bring great babies!! Grin

Hope we all get our BFPs in early July!!!

Hello again!
Not entirely sure what happened this month... SO many symptoms: nausea, fatigue, peeing so much, ambiguous squinty tests... I also had very weird on and off spotting for two days.
But lo and behold! My period is here! 🎉

I'm 31

Cycle 2

I'm currently cycle day 13 but seem to have long cycles (post 14 years on pill!) currently fast approaching fertile week. Think AF is due 2nd July based on previous 36 and 37 day cycles.

How is everyone doing in this heat? It's boiling!!

On CD5 (? AF started saturday)

Laura05 · 09/06/2016 00:24

Ok duno what happened there! It was just plain rude posting while I was still typing. Damn phone! Grin
Anyway, FX for lots of BFP on this bus!!

Have regular 27/28 day cycles, me and my bf both going to be taking vitamins this month & we use Preseed. Will be trying to DTD every other day once AF finishes. Will be testing July 6/7th! Let's hope July is a lucky month, I'm a March baby myself so hope that means something!!

BakerJ · 09/06/2016 21:21

Hi Ladies,

I'd like to hop on board the bus after lurking on the June one!

I'm 30
TTC#1
Cycle 2 (AF arrived this morning)

midrog I'm exactly the same, I was secretly half expecting to be one of those lucky ones that conceive on the first try so was really quite disappointed this morning!

I'm a march baby too though, so maybe that means I'll just get an extra special birthday present next year if we manage this cycle Grin

Feeling bummed tonight.

Me and my friend both started TTC last month (cycle one) and we even had our positive OPKs on the same day and we were so excited to be doing it together but whereas my period has arrived she got her BFP today. I'm feeling really sad about it which is silly I know Sad

Oh writer, that is hard. Big hugs to you.

BakerJ · 09/06/2016 23:10

writer sorry you're feeling so down Flowers
It must be so hard. Fingers crossed for your bfp soon and you can still get to enjoy pregnancy at a similar time to your friend X

babydances · 09/06/2016 23:43

Bless you writer that must be really hard. This is a brand new bus with a brand new cycle and so you have every chance this month xxx

Butterpuff · 10/06/2016 07:53

Sorry Writer that's tough. Flowers I wasn't sure I wanted to get pg in June, when af arrived I was really disappointed. Full steam ahead for July, clean eating, supplements and lots of dtd as I have no idea when I ovulate. Plus dh will love an old fashioned no plotting just every other day!

Thanks guys. The only reason I knew she suspected she was pregnant because a mutual friend was telling me about (not knowing I was TTC with her too) so I text my friend to ask her if anything interesting was happening her end and that's when she told me.

Prior to that we were symptom spitting together, texting each other about when we would test, lots of silly pregnancy stuff I guess but she obviously felt she couldn't tell me she thought she was pregnant as she knew I'd gotten my period.

If I hadn't text her last night God knows when she would have told me she was pregnant.

I just don't want things to be weird between us now and although I'm really happy for her I still feel a bit jealous Sad

I've been pregnant three times before and each time I caught pregnant on the first cycle so I just assumed it would happen this time around too Sad
