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

Morning ladies!!

How's everyone doing?

I need some help re implantation!

So today I've woken up with cramps on my left side and some spotting after the loo this morning!
This is 3 days after my week long spotting around ovulation cycle.
I'm either due on AF Tuesday or Thursday.

Could this me implantation?!

user1466632763 · 02/07/2016 08:59

Looks like a positive to me Laura!! Congratulations!! :)

I'm due AF in a couple of days, but if your experiencing any symptoms etc please let me know :)

Laura05 · 02/07/2016 09:03

Thanks ladies! I'm actually in shock as I totally thought we were out! It's only due to feeling exhausted and nauseous since Tuesday that I started getting my hopes up! The line has actually showed up a lot better on here than my phone was showing. I'm working all day today, tomorrow and Monday so don't know when I'll get a chance to test again. I wish I'd bought tests this week when I had the chance Hmm

user1466632763 · 02/07/2016 09:05

Laura was AF due today? And what year did you use??

That's really exciting!! Congratulations.

Don't work too hard :)

user1466632763 · 02/07/2016 09:06

That was meant to say test sorry! 🙈

Laura05 · 02/07/2016 09:09

AF was due today but it has been known to be between 4-5weeks which is why I refused to test before today lol

It was a cheapy early test from b&m.

happybus28 · 02/07/2016 09:23

Congrats laura no squinting required!! Def BFP!!!

MrsGsnow18 · 02/07/2016 09:48

Congratulations Laura!! Flowers

I'm in a lot of pain today Sad lower abdominal sort of pain, like really bad AF cramps. It's way too early to be implantation so I'm getting worried that the witch is showing up early. I also think I have cysitis maybe that where the pain is coming from? Anyone else ever experience this?

ScandiManny · 02/07/2016 10:07

Congratulations Laura! Grin

BertieBotts · 02/07/2016 10:41

MrsG you can get a cystitis test at bigger pharmacies I think?

BertieBotts · 02/07/2016 11:09

Right I think I ovulated yesterday and by inputting that Ovia reckons I had no sex during the fertile period, oops!

Oh well. This month would be particularly bad career wise anyway. Will probably be half hearted for a couple of cycles and then beef up the attempts again.

user1466632763 · 02/07/2016 11:23

Hello Bertie,

What makes you think you ovulated yesterday?

If I'm having implantation spotting today that's 7 days from when I had sex but also that would be within my fertile window.

So think you are right, more a 28 day cycle this month than 25

MrsGsnow18 · 02/07/2016 11:53

User do you know when you ovulated? I'm not sure how to tell?

Thanks Bertie, I've some antibiotics in the house that I'm just going to start taking. Have googled and they are safe even in early pregnancy. Though I'm prob only 3 or 4 dpo as not sure when actually ov happened ( static smiley on tues)

BertieBotts · 02/07/2016 11:58

Can you not get to OOH to check? I wouldn't take random antibiotics personally. With UTIs I normally try to drink lots of water and keep going to the loo to flush it out which normally works, but I did end up in hospital with one once which was not nice at all. In that case I didn't realise I had it because I thought I'd had a cold at the same time.

I am tracking BBT which is supposed to be the most accurate method to track ovulation. Today's temperature was a clear spike (more than 0.5 degrees higher than the previous days) and the previous 6 days' temperature are all lower which points to ovulation.

It's not hugely accurate especially as I woke up later today but it does seem to fit into what is expected so I'm fairly happy to take it as a guide.

Eva30 · 02/07/2016 12:03

Congratulations laura!
Me too bertie but DH was to knackered when he got in from work to BD so only BD'd one day of FW (Weds) so think I'm out for July too

Lizziedoll · 02/07/2016 12:22

Congrats laura!!!!!!!!!

Lizziedoll · 02/07/2016 12:26

AF is due next Sunday (I have long cycles of 35 days). Anyone know when I can start testing? I think I'm out this month. August will be cycle 4 for me and I've decided to go all out and buy multiple clear blue ovulation packs and test daily as soon as AF ends! Getting desperate!

MrsGsnow18 · 02/07/2016 12:48

I'm thinking I might have to phone OOH of I'm still in pain this evening. It wouldn't worry me taking the antibiotics since I know I'm only 3dpo and checked they were safe, but I'll hold out since if I end up at dr they may prescribe different ones.
Working now on flushing out my system, cranberry juice and water!
lizzie I went all out this month and used clear blue ov but also used preseed for the first time ever too! I was very impressed with it!

Lizziedoll · 02/07/2016 12:54

I'm using conceive plus lubricant. Let's see if it's helped! We find out in about a week. I've nauseous this morning by the way so fingers crossed!

LittleSparkes · 02/07/2016 13:22

I'm awful, i promised myself this month that I wouldn't symptom spot, but here I am 5 dpo and analysing everything. I know i'm way to early to be symptom spotting but -
For the last 2 days I have little pinching in what me and my partner have now named by lady tummy, plus i feel sick, my back aches and my nipples are swollen.

Maybe i'm reading waaaaay too much into this?!

Lizziedoll · 02/07/2016 13:42

little sparkles I've had exactly the same symptoms as you! And it started around 5dpo too so maybe we both got lucky! When is AF due?!

user1466632763 · 02/07/2016 14:15

Lizzie and Sparkes..

I've been having the same symptoms!!

I had spotting over fertile window every day... And then had a break for 3 days, then 6am this morning I've been having bad cramps on one side and then spotting but no more spotting since.

It's exactly 7 days from today when I hope was my most fertile day and would link in with sex

AF is due either Tuesday or Thursday!

Cycles haven't been overly consistent since MC in March.

I've done a few tests, all different brands but they have only shown up shadows, I'll post the last one which was yesterday afternoon.
I think I'll test again Monday morning.

First one is FRER yesterday, had to invert it and grayscale to see a faint line more clearly...

The other is a few days before that clear blue just grayscale!!

Will definitely test with clear blue as seems to be extra sensitive

When is AF due for you both?
