July Bus

[Writerwannabe83]

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

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

Writer that is really tough. I thought it was bad getting a pg announcement at work let alone it being a friend. it's such a weird mixture of feelings, anger sad disappointed jealous and it is all completely normal. I had a massive rant at my bf about it all and I felt a lot better after xx

[Writerwannabe83]

She's also a colleague as well as a friend so there's no escaping from it.

My other colleague is pregnant too (14 weeks gone) but it took her two years to get her baby, including IVF, so I'm just super happy for her.

I am happy for my friend, really I am, and she certainly DTD far more than me and DH did so I think her and her exhausted DH deserve a reward for their efforts. They were at it constantly

[Foxglove88]

Aww Writer :( you poor thing. One month is quite an achievement though! At least you have bags of time to get a BFP yourself and still be pregnancy buddies.
I feel you on that. My friend got pregnant the first time round so I was gutted when it didn't happen the first month. Waiting is so frustrating... x

[Laura05]

Aw Writer that's hard. Chin up for this month though and you can both still be around the same stages. Personally I don't want to get a bfp the same time as someone close to me as it'll be constant comparing between the Bubbas and I can't be doing with that

[Writerwannabe83]

I will be ok as soon as its sunk in a bit more. I think she feels even more wary about being too excited in front of me because of my miscarriage earlier this year, it's all a bit complicated.

On the upside though, my period seems to be on its way out which means I can focus my energies on this new cycle

[Lelly0503]

I just had two friends who were pregnant the same time as each other and I think there was a lot of comparing going on. I agree with Laura05 on that and would rather be preg alone so I can do it my own way. She was really lucky catching first month, I keep telling myself it will be my time one day and when it's meant to happen it will happen xx

[Laura05]

Yeah I would definitely rather do it on my own (only because it's not my first lol) I had two friends who battled each other during pregnancy and then it was a boast fest on their babies development etc. I think they honestly missed how precious their babies were!
Writer my AF finished properly yesterday so onto a fresh cycle. Think if I don't get bfp this month then we'll just change to if it happens it happens x

[Lelly0503]

The day AF arrives I get really down and hate everything but once it's over I feel optimistic again. Might do ov tests this month if I feel like it, really I just wanna try BD every other day xx

[Writerwannabe83]

I don't have the energy for every other day

Hello!

Hopping on the bus! AF came yesterday , 12 days late, after a flipping 52 day cycle (shock)

Stats : 39, TTC#2, Cycle 2, CD2

I'm expecting FW to be 29th-26th June as I have a loooong cycle!

I feel you Writer, I thought it would be month 1 for me too.

[Writerwannabe83]

Last cycle we DTD the day before a strong OPK and the day afterwards. My DH was injured at the time so DTD actually on high OPK day has to be abandoned mid-passion because he had tears in his eyes it was hurting that much. Whoops!

And on this cycle, 5 days before my FW commences he's going into hospital for an operation on his shoulder so God knows what use he'll be to me after that

[MrsGsnow18]

That sucks writer
I was pretty down when I realised I was out for June but back to positive thinking now!

[Luxnuova]

Hi, can I join you all? I'm expecting AF tomorrow or the next day. Thought June was my month, but roll on July... We've been trying a while and a couple of MC, but wanting to keep it lighthearted and not too much pressure for the next few months.
Stats: 37, TTC#2, Cycle too-many-to-count, and CD 27, soon to be CD1...

[EmilyHaggis]

waves shyly Trying for the first time this month. 36 and new to it all - never had unprotected sex before, let alone conceived.

Pretty new to Mumsnet too but I needed somewhere to talk about it.

[SoozC]

Welcome, Darling, Lux and Emily!

Emily, you'll pick it up before long! I was in the same situation a few months ago - 34 and clueless! - but you learn all the lingo and find new things to try pretty quickly! :)

[Blondie0912]

Hi all- I'm jumping on the July bus if you don't mind!!!!!! AF got me today

Age-27
TTC #1
Cycle- 4
Based on AF today, my next test date will be around 17th of July (I have really long cycles which is just awesome when TTC... haha!)

Good luck to everyone - July's a good month I can feel it

[Luxnuova]

Hi harry78, I use the Fertilityfriend one, which seems fairly good - I've used it for temping since first starting TTC.

[MrsA2]

I'm joining up this month too. We've been having unprotected since my period mid Jan but this month I really, really thought I was pregnant and tested this morning. I'd had classic pm symptoms on Wednesday and very light bleeding that then had stopped completely by yesterday. But as I went to test this afternoon I had brown blood and cramps. Given that I'd bought the test anyway, thought I'd give it a go... But negative.

So ttc #2, cycle 6 (I think I've worked that out right!) and expecting my next period about 10 July.

Oh well, glass of wine to commiserate tonight I guess...!

[Blondie0912]

I'm with you on the glass of wine MrsA!!!!!!!
harry78 I use Ovia which I like- although my long cycles really freak it out!

[MrsDarlingGirl]

Hi Blondie I also have mega long cycles!! I'll be testing about 17th July too! Long cycles suck when on the TTC route. Sigh.... My poor hubby has a long fertile window to perform in this month. I'm on a mission!

[Blondie0912]

Hahaha Mrsdarling mine too!!! Decided I am NOT missing it this month... we will be test buddies!!! Let's hope this is the month! Are you also TTC#1?

[Blondie0912]

Oops ignore me just scrolled up and saw your TTC#2

[Writerwannabe83]

Well this morning I had to face my friend/colleague with her recent BFP and I did feel a bit jealous

Not that I'm bothered that's she's been on the contraceptive pill for 10 years and got pregnant on her first month off it
