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

Stress is definitely a possibility. I've just thought though CD15 in a average 30 day cycle is probably quite early to ov actually. I think I need to just bin the opk's and try to dtd every few days, I think for me they don't do me any favours and make me a little bit obsessive Blush

Sounds promising, fingers crossed Laura

BertieBotts · 29/06/2016 06:46

Ooh Lizzie and Laura, fx for you :)

babydances, I hope getting the implant removed helps. I would imagine there must be some kind of overlap, it's not like it would just stop working on the day they say it runs out. They probably build in a bit of a buffer in case people forget or don't realise and are still relying on it.

Thank you Eva the line is a bit darker this morningSmile
Sorry to hear about your loss Littlesparkes I hope this month is a lucky one for you.
Scandimanny stress sends my cycles crazy, I think it is a very probable reason.
fx for those approaching test date.

CinnamonTwist · 29/06/2016 08:26

I know it's not technically July yet but I couldn't wait
I was convinced there was no chance this cycle so I wanted to get my BFN and move on
so I tested, I'm 13dpo and I've got a squinter! Going to wait til fri and try and get a clear blue to get a confirmed BFP Grin

BertieBotts · 29/06/2016 08:29

Ooh congrats Cinnamon! :)

Just in case anyone else is tempted to test early... I collated all the countdowntopregnancy data on DPO results for pregnancy tests to put them into a chart.

I discounted days 1, 2 and 3 because the numbers were too small and they seemed skewed.

Also bear in mind that this only contains data from those people who actually bothered to test so might be skewed as people might only test early if they have symptoms. Likewise, bear in mind that DPO is self reported and might be inaccurate.

I thought it was a bit of fun and interesting to see anyway. MN shrinks images so the text is a bit squinty but looks ok.

MrsGSnow I couldn't really pinpoint ovulation this month but I think I'm around 8dpo or so? Most of my symptoms seem to have gone this morning and I got a BFN so there you go

Lizziedoll · 29/06/2016 09:09

Anyone else imagining symptoms? Envy

Laura05 · 29/06/2016 09:23

Congratulations cinnamon!!

I'm not sure if I'm imagining symptoms lizzie but feel the exact same as yesterday.

I've got a test shouting at me but it's my last one and was planning on holding out til at least Saturday when af is due.....

Lelly0503 · 29/06/2016 09:46

Congrats cinnamon! Did you do anything different this month?

I'm now 4dpo no sign of anything tho xx

Lelly0503 · 29/06/2016 09:52

Oh apart from a nice ulcer on my tongue 😂 Can that count as a symptom?

CinnamonTwist · 29/06/2016 10:00

Thanks everyone, still in shock, keep expecting AF to appear and ruin the moment!
I had 20 Amazon tests shouting at me, so I tested at 9dpo and got BFN, then again this morning, thinking it would confirm the BFN and make me actually move on and accept AF was going to arrive and got my squinter. My boobs have been really achey and I've been getting some cramps, but that is normal for me before AF, I've also been feeling quite hot when I wake up, but again I do get that sometimes anyway, so really not that many symptoms. I think I felt implantation though as I had a pain at 6 dpo.
We actually didn't try as much as we were planning this month, so I really wasn't that hopeful! It's our first cycle so can't say we did anything differently other than not preventing! DH a little bit disappointed not to have had more months trying Blush

Laura05 · 29/06/2016 10:12

Typical man cinnamon! Grin

CinnamonTwist · 29/06/2016 10:21

I know Laura he was grinning like a Cheshire Cat and super pleased with himself that it was first attempt, but also said 'oh I thought that was just the practice, like a warm up and we'd get to try a bit longer' I told him he would have gotten fed up with it eventually, but I don't think he believed me! Hes not one of those guys who is super interested in that the whole time though, so I think he'll get over it pretty quickly Wink

MishyBakes · 29/06/2016 10:49

Cinnamon, that's fantastic news! So happy for you! Grin

And thanks Bertie for that chart, it's really helpful! I'll keep referring to it whenever I'm tempted to POAS. I'm 2 days PO (I think) and I woke up today feeling awful. I ache under my arms and I'm so crampy. I know it can't be implantation, as it's far too soon, so I'm doing my best not to symptom spot (easier said than done). My bbt is pretty much the same as pre ovulation, so I won't be getting my hopes up this cycle. Good luck and fx for everyone else in the tww!

Laura05 · 29/06/2016 11:11

Lol cinnamon my dh was the exact same when I fell pregnant with DD on the first attempt! I had to listen to him going on about 'super sperm' for ages Grin

MrsGsnow18 · 29/06/2016 11:28

Congrats Cinnamon!! Excellent news!!

Lizzie 8dpo is very early for testing! So don't give up hope just yet!

CinnamonTwist · 29/06/2016 11:34

Yes, 'super sperm' may have been mentioned a couple of times Hmm

Massively coincidentally, on my way to work this morning I pulled out onto the motorway, behind a car whose number plate ended with BFP Shock made me laugh!

TryingToStayRational · 29/06/2016 11:44

Congrats Cinnamon!

CinnamonTwist · 29/06/2016 12:43

Good luck to everyone hoping for a BFP in July, I will be keeping my fx for you all! Grin

Lizziedoll · 29/06/2016 15:16

Thanks but I think I'm out this month! Sad

TryingToStayRational · 29/06/2016 19:09

Totally fell off the POAS wagon this morning and got a BFN at 10dpo. Now feel like I have mild AF cramps. AF due Friday so not surprising. Wish the witch would just get on with it so I can have a cry and move on. Meh!

Barefootcontessa84 · 29/06/2016 19:19

lizziedoll 8dpo is crazy early to test. Hold out a few more days and test again. When is AF due?

I'm on day three of flashing smiley Hmm - hoping it'll be a fixed one tomorrow. Anyone ever had lots of flashing ones in a row?

user1466632763 · 29/06/2016 19:21

Thoughts on this one please ladies...

Still have all prego symptoms not due on period until Tuesday.

Had to put the test into the pregnancy test checker app..

Lizziedoll · 29/06/2016 19:22

barefoot AF due next Sunday (July 10). I'm having twinges and sore breasts/puffy nipples which I never usually get even before my period so hoping these are signs. It's all started at the same time and overnight (on Sunday. And Saturday had weird gargling uterus) so here's to hoping? With my luck it'll be a BFN

user1466632763 · 29/06/2016 20:36

Hi Lizzie

That's exactly what I've been having... Spotting and being very very sicky along with extreme tiredness
