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

Thanks v much Bertie - you are a lot more clued up on this than I am!

LittleSparkes · 13/07/2016 14:20

Wow bertie that gives me huge amounts of hope and smiles!

I keep running to the loo as I feel like my period keeps starting but is just CM.
So frustrating.
At least its adding steps to my fitbit thought Grin

BertieBotts · 13/07/2016 14:26

Thanks for welcomes...Sorry for BFN mrsg

Katie0907 · 13/07/2016 19:12

Hi. I'm still (im)patiently waiting for either af or bfn. CD34 and no signs of anything... I've been and bought more pee sticks today so will try again in the morning. I haven't tracked ovulation so have no idea if/when it happened.

LittleSparkes · 13/07/2016 19:18

Hey Katie
Exactly the same here. CD31 and nothing. No sign of AF. BFN this morning
Last hour I've been having some pinching sensations though Confused
Fingers crossed for you.
Trying to wait till Saturday till I test again

Mimilicious013 · 13/07/2016 19:24

Thanks for the info Bertie
Sorry mrsg for afFlowers
Welcome have ,_good luck on the ttc journey.
Fx little katie and Eva .here is wishing the witch away and a clear bfp soon.
I'm on cd 39, almost two weeks late .got a bfn 2days ago. Have never missed a period except when I was pregnant. Now this cycle is driving me insane.

Baby dust to all. Hope July brings more bfps fx

Eva30 · 14/07/2016 11:18

Thanks mim I think July is doing that to all of us!
littlesparkes what's the latest?

LittleSparkes · 14/07/2016 12:18

Eva I have no news
CD 32 (of 28) 17 dpo. No AF. No BFP. Pretty much symptomless

So confused Confused

BertieBotts · 14/07/2016 12:56

Argh no AF today and no sign of AF. Now I'm wondering if I am pregnant after all?! Shock

Mimilicious013 · 14/07/2016 13:01

Fx for you ladies

BertieBotts · 14/07/2016 13:20

Here's my chart. Inconclusive but I am past what should be the end of my luteal phase.

LittleSparkes · 14/07/2016 13:36

that looks promising bertie

I gave up charting - i became obsessive - not healthy. Got me really upset

LittleSparkes · 14/07/2016 13:38

Just an update my end. I'm CMing everywhere - had to go out and by new knickers at lunch Blush
also can't seem to find my cervix

BertieBotts · 14/07/2016 13:44

Aaah I'm so tempted to test!

Pros - If I'm pregnant at least I'll know?!

  • Will have time to buy another test tomorrow or Saturday if it's a crap positive like last time - if I wait until Sunday, no shops til Monday.
  • I have a couple in the house (both crap ones) so I wouldn't be using my last one.
  • Could do some kind of creative/fun way of telling DH (in reality, probably won't)

Cons - DH might feel left out (we've tested together before)

  • Likely to be inconclusive meaning I'll be more frustrated/obsessed than anything
  • It's not the end of the day yet and I could still start this evening
  • Should probably try to concentrate on driving and other stuff, and this would seriously distract me, whereas waiting for AF doesn't as much.
Eva30 · 14/07/2016 14:39

bertie your chart is really steady. Here's mine, it's so erratic, I take it with a pinch of salt. I'm pretty sure I'm out for this month but holding on to that 'not out til AF shows' thought. As you can see I'm a serial tester so I would have already tested by now Blush

Eva30 · 14/07/2016 14:39

Oops forgot to attach chart

Is a lot of CM a good sign of pregnancy?

2 pairs of pants down.

Just to add its white, creamy and odourless - so it's no infection etc

Never happened to me before. Keeps feeling like my period has started but it hasn't... its just all white

Butterpuff · 14/07/2016 17:48

No idea Sparkes, sorry. But I have a fair bit of CM today too, hoping someone tells us it's a PG symptom! I'm CD 37. Not tested but don't feel pregnant and last time I really did. Also just getting a twinge in the back so I suspect/fear AF is on her way.

BertieBotts · 14/07/2016 17:54

Mine is often like that but if it's unusual for you it can be a good sign. This is what pantyliners are for! :)

Barefootcontessa84 · 14/07/2016 18:10

sparkes I had loads last month when BFN - was sure it was a sign as it was unusual for me. This month I've been pretty dry (except for an abnormally large blob on 10dpo Confused). Who knows which means what!!

Katie0907 · 14/07/2016 18:16

I'm still here too and no sign of AF (CD35). POAS this morning and still BFN. Sparkes I keep having the same feeling and running to the toilet at work thinking AF is here and it's just cm.

MrsGsnow18 · 14/07/2016 18:43

Just checking in ladies to see if any news. I have read a few things online about women who said lots of CM was a pregnancy symptom for them so FX.

AF came and went rather quickly for me which has confused me greatly. Lasted a day but not that heavy ( more than spotting though) haven't tested again because see no point in getting hopes up but now worry that maybe my estrogen is very low or there's so other issue that might affect my fertility Sad

ahsan · 14/07/2016 20:00

Hi new here but got my BFP today, wasn't really planned but really excited. Hope I can join so we can celebrate our BFPs together

Congratulations ahsan :) If you're looking for a new pregnancy support thread you'll probably want the March pregnancy thread

Not that you're not absolutely welcome here! :) But it sounds like the March thread might be the one you're looking for.
