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

Thanks laura I'll wait until Friday mornin if af hasn't kicked into gear but j won't get my hopes up as I'll be disappointed

Babydance, I've got my fingers crossed for you. Spotting sounds like a good sign!
Welcome luxnuova and hairyworm (love the name!)
MrsGsNow yes so long! It's still going... The first night was really light pink ewcm so I assumed it was implantation. Unlike anything I've had before. 6 days of proper AF and now 4 days of random red blood and (TMI) brown sticky mucus

Hi everyone. Iv started taking the boots his&hers conception vitamins, will be using preseed too. im only on CD6 and this month is dragging. God knows what the TWW will be like. I feel like the days I ov and AF go really quickly, it's the days in between that take forever. We are trying to BD every other day this month, we started already and will try to keep going until AF, let's see how it goes! X

That sounds promising babydances, hope it leads to a BFP and not AF.

foxglove how annoying and confusing!
FX for you babydances!

I'be sadly realised that I'm out for July now prob since DH will be away for entire FW! ( stupid early AF!) this is all according to ovia' predictions, will keep using OPKs to track too but so annoyed that things will delayed another month!

Hi can I join you all?
Stats: 28, ttc #3, cycle 3, cd 1.

Previous 2 pregnancies took 3months and 1 year to conceive. So I'm nervous it's going to take a long time again. I was on the pill for around 8 months before ttc.

I'm tempted to get the clearblue digital ov tests. I used them with dd1, but last time used the cheapies, I find them a bit stressful with working out if it's positive or not. I like it nice and obvious!

Hi all, I'm ready for the July bus!

I'm 32
TTC #1
Cycle 3
Etd: July 1

Just found my bbt thermometer and re-started taking pregnacare and folic acid!

Hi all, can I hop on the July bus please?

I'm 28
TTC #1
Cycle 2
CD3

Had an anovulatory cycle this last month, came off contraception in April (after 10 years). Using clear blue OPKs and Ovia to try and work out my cycle as best I can! Also taking folic acid and have ordered some Agnus castus to see if that helps. Good luck everyone!

My body is playing silly devils with me - late ov and now I'm having spotting every day... Don't take evening primrose oil is my advice! I'm sticking to preseed after this crazy cycle. I'm just hoping af turns up next week and is only a few days late rather than making this a really long cycle!

Lelly I use Preseed too, my DH can never remember its name and keeps calling it things like 'Fertile Seed'

We are trying SMEP this month. I am gunning for a work promotion so trying to think about what the logistics might be like if I got it!

Well my fertile window is approaching, which would be exciting times, but my DH has got an operation two days before it starts. Typical. He was practically out of action last month due to a torn abdominal muscle (we had to abandon sex on two occasions because of the pain) and now this month we will be having issues again as I'm not sure how well he will be able to DTD.

Bloody DH

I've also got the worst case of thrush, my skin is burning and is in agony and I can't get an appointment with the doctor because they're all booked up

Aw no writer what kind of operation is it if you don't mind me asking? No way he could just lie there and take one for the team?
I'm approaching my fertile window too although I have no idea what's going on as I had on off cramps yesterday and today and this morning I woke up feeling very wet (TMI sorry) although there's not actually anything on my knickers?!

It's an operation on his shoulder. The only way we could DTD would be me on top (sorry for TMI) but without going in to too much detail I'm not sure it's safe for him to have his upper torso be shaken about

Last month he tried to "take one for the team" but he actually had tears in his eyes it was that painful hence why it had to be abandoned

Oooh babydancer keeping things crossed for you.

Fox how infuriating. Hope AF goes soon.

Yes Lux it gives me the rage too....expecially those months when I've totally not been up for DTD but we've had to because it FW and then I'm not bloody pregnant anyway... Argh

Can I ask what Preseed is? Is it the lubricant that helps sperm mobility?
We both take the prenancy/conception Vits but is there anything else not on prescription that can give things a boost?

Aww bless him writer for his effort! Only other way round it is a tug and jump on

Or a tug and a turkey baster

I have access to a lot of syringes at work...

Mind you, considering he has a casual "If it happens, it happens" type attitude I'm not sure me using a syringe to shoot his sperm into me is really in keeping with that approach

Haha!

Ha everdene my Bf just says 'get the stuff'! That's funny.

Hairyworm- preseed is a lubricant that's safe to use while TTC. It's supposed to mimic fertile CM. Have a google but the reviews do sell it like your conceive the first month you use it! I'm on month three now, no BFP yet but I do think preseed helps when you don't have a lot of CM which can happen to me. It's a bit pricey but I got mine of Amazon with a load of cheapy OPK and pg tests. X

Lelly ahhhhh. That rings a bell now. I've been using a different make. I'll have a look at preseed and see if it's any different.

Yes it's lube - I think it is expensive but off the internet not bad, plus I suppose babies are expensive! It's about £16 a tube.

I like preseed and my DP does too!

I'm having period-like cramps so hopefully it'll appear today or tomorrow. Maybe I o'd at the usual time not late - I did have a temp spike but ff put my o later at a bigger temp spike. This has been a bloody weird cycle. Spotting like crazy too.

AF finally seems to have showed up, 8 days late so I'm hopping on!

Cycle#: 2

Special wave to babydances - how are you doing?

barefoot how strange lovely. Have u been stressed anything to make u ov late? I'm now on day 43 and now think I've had a 47 day cycle again like last months. Usually they have been 34-35 days. I had spotting Sunday, the tinest thing so u never know. I'm not going to test until next week when I would be 47 days post ov. As its getting silly and I'm always disappointed when it is a bfn. Also if I did have implantation bleed Sunday then I'm best off waiting a bit longer to test.

Big hugs to you barefoot test yourself to something today

Treat*

Hopping on here with another AF show (second in a month after that blardy pill)

I think I am going to try using OPKs this cycle as I had such fun temping last time
