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

Going by a quick google it is OK to have sex when you have thrush because men can't catch it in that way but of course you might not feel up to it.

It also says you shouldn't take the capsules while pregnant so that might be a concern.

Hi can I join?
I'm 36
Ttc no 3
Cycle one, expecting af to show up tonight or tomorrow. Have been harbouring vague hopes that I could be pregnant already as had lots of nausea the last few days (got morning sickness very early With ds2) though I know it's very unlikely as only dtd after cd20 of 28 day cycle, plus now have some spotting. So just want af to arrive properly now so we can start trying this cycle.
Etd will be 16th July!

Bertie - thanks for looking that up! I'm just on the cream, no tablets.

I've had lots of EWCM yesterday and today although I have no idea why as I woke by expect ovulation for at least another week. I used OPKs yesterday and today to see if I was in fact ovulating early but they both came back completely negative.

My DH is home after his operation today and looking at the state of him I don't DTD is on the cards anyway for a good while. I think things just weren't meant to be this month..

Morning ladies - is it ok to hop on the July bus? 12dpo and bfn this morning Was our first real cycle after the pill. Just want AF to arrive now so we can move on to cycle 2.

Oh dear, writer, how blooming frustrating all round. Hope the cream works pronto.

Started the Clearblue dual-hormone opks this morning. Was trying to rip extremely durable packaging and work out how to insert the stick thingy into the holder whatsit and POAS when daughter woke up and starting yelling for me. And of course she also found it later, where I had left it for the five minute wait. 'Mummy, what's this, can I have it?' etc. Ha.

Hope it clears up soon writer it's so frustrating having to put off another for another month, if you're anything like me your patience prob is wearing!

I've been on looking at everyone's line threads and it's lovely seeing people so excited when they get their BFP but it depresses me that I'm prob now waiting for August which by then will be my 8th cycle!

Hiya quick question - how soon after first signs of ewcm do you normally ovulate?

I had a small amount earlier tonight but I'm not long in from work and DH has his friend round so no dtd tonight

I'm back at work in the morning so heading to bed alone -at least I can starfish!-

Just wondering if there's a chance we'll be out this month as last dtd was 3days ago

laura what are your other signs? EWCM can last the whole of FW so you could be at the start of it? What cd are you and what's your usual cycle length? Are you temping? The will be an increase in temp after ov. Any opks you could do?

Thanks eva I don't use opks or temping. I did sign up to ovia after getting bfn last month and it says I'm in my fertile window from now to Wednesday. Only asking as when I put in that I had ewcm it wanted to change the details to today being my last fertile day?

Hi can I jump aboard?!

TTC #1
Cycle 2
CD1

The witch finally got me this morning after a painfully long 39 day cycle! 1st one off the pill so I expected it to be long but it was still frustrating! Looking forward to cracking on with cycle 2 now and hoping it will be shorter!

Hope you and your hubby are both back to full health soon, Writer.

Laura I think EWCM can really vary. I tend to notice it most about 2 days before I ovulate according to my fertility monitor. But I've read that people can get multiple patches of it during a cycle. Hope you manage to DTD soon.

How did you get on Theknittinggorilla? Hope you're ok.

Last night was our final BD for this cycle so now the dreaded tww begins. Timed it optimally according to CBFM so am feeling especially nervous now. I know there's only a 25%ish chance but after 4 cycles am starting to get mildly worried it's not gonna happen (I know this is silly) so I just sooooooo want it to happen this month! Also I'm a March baby and I think it's a nice time of year to have a baby, with all that Spring optimism and lighter nights on the way etc. I think I'm going a bit daft and need to distract myself and get a grip fast!

Good luck to Poppy and everyone else!

Thanks. I've had no more ewcm so far so I'll just wait and see if any appears throughout the day.
Will hopefully jump in dh tonight

Thank you Trying Really hope it happens for you this time. Officially ⭐️CD1 as AF arrived this morning. Good that we can move on to cycle 2 now though.

Hello ladies! I had a chat earlier with my OH and thought it might make you laugh...

I was sharing with him the different kinds of cm you can get throughout your cycle... tacky, watery, creamy, egg white cm...
His response was "cooked or uncooked?"
🙈🙈🙈 hahaha!
I think he realised what he had said when I almost fell on the floor laughing.

So there you have it ladies! I love the idea of us passing a fried egg every month when we're fertile!

Hahaha Foxglove that is the best! Men!!!!! Hahaha! Hope you're all doing well and welcome to the newbies! I haven't posted for a while as had AF (sucks!) but now on CD9 so getting close to fertile week- although DH and I have decided to just try and do it every other day this month from tomorrow- let's see if we can keep that up

Hi ladies!
Welcome to the newbies. I have not posted in a while. AF arrived and went and I am now facing into cycle 10. Got a little upset during the week after yet another announcement from a good friend but feeling the positivity of FW now.
Using the Clearblue OPKs (the dual ones) have had flashy faces the past three days. The last time I used these ones I had flashy faces for 7 days and then no static. Let's hope this isn't the same. Can't help but think the dual ones are a money spinner so that you use lots within the month!!
laura hope you manage to pin him down tonight! Nothing like something getting in the way!!

Do you mind if I jump on board?

ETD 2nd July.
Positive opk today. Dtd yesterday and day before so will try to dtd tonight also.
Fx for all the july bus ladies. Let's hope july's a fertile month.

Hi All,

Writer Sorry to hear that things are not lined up for you for this month, but you never know... I also have the WORST thrush of my life! Luckily my cycle is so long (I've never called that lucky before! Ha silver linings!!) so it should be cleared up by my fertile window.

I've just started using Ovia, wow it's confusing!! But very thorough so I'm sure I will get the hang of it. I'm crap with CM. Never know what sort it is. I'm also rubbish at remembering to look. However loads of cramping today which is weird as my fertile window is still 10 days away.

Going to do OPKs though but not the purple ones. They never work for me!
Comma sounds like very good timing of DTD!
Foxglove lol! Just lol!!

Can i join this bus the June bus seems to have ended now
Age 23
CD19
10 Days till BFP is due even though i feel sick as a dog yet ravenous at the same time right now

Hope there's room for one more?

DH - 42
TTC #1
Cycle 1
CD6

Just came off a couple of months of the pill and had Nexplanon implant for 3 years before that so still figuring out what my cycles are. Had real AF 32 days after withdrawal bleed and am going to start OPK testing with the CB dual hormone digital in a couple of days to try and figure out when I ovulate! Have used the cheapie ones - but doing it during the day is too much hassle!

Looking forward to chatting with you all

Whoops DH is 41

Hi folks, I've been away for a week or so while AF visited. However now back! CD 11, coming up to FW, so far managed to dTD cd 8,10 and 11.... Hoping to continue every other day through to the end of fertile week. This is cycle 6 but for the last 3 months either DH or I have been away for 2-3 days just at the crucial point. I will be gutted if we,re not successful this month as I really feel we've done everything we can.... I just have to remember 25% chance..... Good to luck everyone. Sorry to here about those whom fate is conspiring against.... So frustrating.

Ah well guess I'm definitely out for this cycle

DH complained of a headache and has fallen asleep on the couch! it's not that when I have a bloody headache! Inconsiderate sod

I've had more ewcm (only when wiping) and have a dull ache/cramp just now on my right side so think tomorrow evening will be too late

So I'm rather pee'd off and have just left dh on the couch lol

My FW starts today and I've been having EWCM for the past 2-3 days.

DH is 100% out of action though after his operation, DTD is absolutely off the agenda.

Mind you, my DS is being so, so difficult at the moment that the thought of having another isn't appealing and so I'm not too fussed about missing this month.

Good luck to everyone this month and to anyone who ends up on the August Bus I shall see you there

Aww writer he'll just be crabbit after the op. Just relax this month and get geared up for next month
