July Bus

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

AF has arrived this morning which I am fine with as I knew this month was a write-off due to my DH's operation and so now I've got a starting point for my next cycle.

Congratulations to all the existing BFPs and good luck to those so are still waiting to test Flowers

Lizziedoll my period is due to come this Sunday. so I have promised my partner I won't test till then..... I'm so hoping this is my month.

Good Luck to you too! When is your AF due?

Laura05 · 04/07/2016 10:08

Thanks Laura.

This cycle was only 28 days where my previous ones were 35 days and 33 days.

Prior to DS coming along (he's now two) I had regular 35 day cycles but as a result breastfeeding, the Mirens and a miscarriage my periods are all over the place.

Things are incredibly hard with DS at the moment though so me and DH are really wavering about having a second Sad

Did a cheapie this am and got a bfn. My period not due until Sunday but I just know I'm not pregnant. Broken hearted

Wibblewobble100 · 04/07/2016 11:38

Hi all, congrats on the BFPs and Flowers for the BFNs. I tested on sat am at 9dpo - bfn but DS had been up in the middle of the night and I had pee'd then so not really a true first pee of the day so I'm not getting down hearted yet. Will test again tomorrow at cd 28. No symptoms except sore boobs and creamy discharge /cm which I get every month but I didn't have any new symptoms last time either. Fx for everyone else.

LittleSparkes · 04/07/2016 11:54

lizzie dont give up hope, I did a sneaky test this morning and it was negative too, AF not due till Sunday so I'm still very hopeful.

All cramps have stopped. But i'm hugely bloated (tummy is big and round instead of flat as normal). I also can't focus on anything, and I keep falling alseep (work today is a struggle).

I wish you all the best

Lizziedoll · 04/07/2016 12:20

Thanks littlesparkles personally I've given up for this month! Just gonna wait for AF. All the best to you, I hope you get your BFP

MrsGsnow18 · 04/07/2016 13:09

Sorry to hear so many AFs arriving, I think I might be out too though. Not giving up just yet but AD arrived early for me last month and have similar feelings now Sad

user1466632763 · 04/07/2016 13:15

Sorry to hear so many AF arriving :(

I'm definately having a chemical this month! :(

Got to wait for a date on a scan to check everything over, MC end of March

Feeling very blue! But must chill and be positive.

MishyBakes · 04/07/2016 13:43

Congrats to everyone with bfps, lots of Flowers to those with bfps. Big hugs to you user. Hope you get everything sorted with the scan. It sounds like you're coping remarkably well, keep looking after yourself.

Is anyone else in the tww at the mo? I'm 7 days po, and I'm all over the place. I'm exhausted and weepy, been on and off crampy with a for the last 7 days. It must be too soon to have symptoms, which makes me worry that AF will turn up next week. Sorry to vent, it's just driving me slightly crazy today

Barefootcontessa84 · 04/07/2016 13:53

Also in the 2ww - somewhere 2-4dpo. Feeling very impatient today, not helped by being a very boring Monday! Hmm

Barefootcontessa84 · 04/07/2016 13:54

Also can I ask how you calculate dpo? I used CB ovulation tests and got first solid smiley on Thurs (30th June). Do I predict I ov'd on 1st or 2nd? Or when?! Thanks!

MishyBakes · 04/07/2016 14:03

Hi barefoot, glad someone else is in the same limbo as I am! I'm probably wrong, but I count the day I got the positive OPK as day 0. The day after I had pain on the left side which was most likely ovulation. Can't be 100% sure though. Hope the time passes quickly for you Smile

Eva30 · 04/07/2016 14:23

Yes I'm 3dpo. I'm not testing this time until AF is late, I feel like I'm keeping frer in business with all my POAS!

SoozC · 04/07/2016 14:26

Yay to the bfps!

Big hugs to all those getting af and getting down about it all. We all know what it's like. I don't have any hope for this month or any month (only about 2dpo), going to docs when the summer hols starts as I'll be 35 and we've been trying six months. My DP is finding it stressful and I'm finding it saddening.

Love to all you lovely ladies x

user1466632763 · 04/07/2016 15:22

Lots of love everyone!

Let's keep positive!

Going to be extra healthy from today, light exercising, lots of water.

Decided not to test for ovulation this time or be too obsessive.

This is assuming my scan will be ok and I'll get the OK to go ahead and try again this month.

Theknittinggorilla · 04/07/2016 16:12

Congrats on bfps and Flowers to all those where af has arrived.

I'm in 2ww now too. Not sure when I ovulated but am in cd18 so am guessing im about 4dpo.

Really tired today ( but not unusual). I don't trust my body at all re symptoms as last month i convinced myself I was pregnant even though i didn't bd until way after the fertile window. Felt really sick and refluxy just like when I was pregnant last time - have now decided my mind must be doing this to me.

Want to wait until af is late but not due till a week on Friday and on holiday next week so can't imagine I'll be able to resist - if I'm having a sober holiday would like to at least know if it's for good reason...

Lelly0503 · 04/07/2016 16:17

Hi everyone, sorry to hear AF has got some of you Angry.
I did a few Internet cheapy tests over the weekend but all bfn. I thought on the last one I did yesterday I saw something but I think it's my eyes imagining something as the test window got flooded. AF is either due tommorw or Wednesday based on my cycle length but based on ovulation due next Saturday as I'm only 8dpo now. Be interesting if anything to see when she does arrive as i haven't ovulated as late in previous months. I'd rather AF arrive earlier than later so I can get on with next month xxx

everdene · 04/07/2016 18:28

Still no AF for me- this is v v unusual. I got some Superdrug first response tests. I have internet cheapies but I got a bfn this morning - even dreamed I'd had my BFP!

I'm now 5 days overdue, I've been charting for several months and this is the first time I've had a cycle longer than 28 days.

So I guess I'm still in for July as it stands!

Poppydm · 04/07/2016 18:59

Hi Ladies, lots of congrats on all of the BFPs! Fx for lots more. I'm on CD16 now and just waiting for ovulation. It was CD18 for me last time so hoping my cycles are become regular and it will happen soon. I have a TMI question Blush
When you're regularly DTD in your fertile week, is the cm remnants of the night before or actual cm?

Fran03 · 04/07/2016 23:17

Well last night I was really down but today I have hope a very very faint positive on 2 tests this morning. Hopefully it will continue to get stronger. No symptoms though apart from some cramping which was a bit sore at times. Good luck everyone x
