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

Ah thank you. I really don't want to stress or obsess either so think I'll just do OPKs again this month and make sure we do lots of BD :-) Have you been trying for long?

Have you noticed EWCM Wibble? I've read lots of different opinions on OPKs. Some people get strong lines, some not so strong some none at all. If you've got ovulation pains and EWCM I'd just DTD as often as you can just in case.

Hello! Joining from the June bus now Eva has explained the bus thing to me!
TTC#2
Cycle #2
ETD 6th July
The OPK sticks don't seem to work for me, I've never got better than a slightly lighter than control line. Very tempted by the digital monitors you can get on eBay but worried that I'll start to get a bit obsessive! Mind you, I really would like another March baby, so I think that's what's making me obsess a little this month.

Hey all-
First post!
Jumping on the July bus, been so upset and frustrated thinking something must be wrong. On tenth month of ttc and can't say af every month is getting any easier; instead much harder.
Nothing showed on the cheap opk so bought CB one and heres hoping!
Ttc- #1
Age: 31
Cd: 8
Ttc for: 10months

So grateful for support and to know others are sharing in the same excitement, anxiety and frustrations of this process. I had no idea how hard both physically and emotionally!
No idea when I ovulate as been timing it on ovia so just a guess. Tomorrow is cd9 shall I try my clear blue testing tomorrow morning do you think?

Good luck to all you ladies too xx

Still around babydances! So glad something finally happened for you, and you can move forward!

I'm on cycle 5, Poppy - I got a bit obsessed the first three cycles and it was the first thing on my mind every morning, but am now a bit more relaxed and accepting of it taking a while. Obviously sometimes more so than others!

Hi!
Af arrived the evening of my first post , then my dh had a wobble about whether it was a good time to start trying or not but think we are back on track now (though the catastrophe we have woken up to this morning will probably open up those discussions again...)
But for now I am on the bus, on cd7, fw from next wed, fingers crossed!
Have no idea about the temping, opk stuff as we were very lucky with the last two that we conceived quite quickly so for now I think it's just lots of dtd and a test date round about 16 July.

Just got a positive OPK suspected I would as had EWCM this morning. I last Dtd on Wednesday, had a full day in London yesterday and was far too tired. So a positive OPK means ovulation is about to occur in the next 24/36 hours?

Hi ladies, question for you (having a blonde day)
How soon after ovulation does implantation take place? I'm trying to avoid google this month so thought it safer to ask here
I ovulated Monday or Tuesday (for some reason I haven't put it on ovia!) and felt a pain in my right side. Only lasted a minute or two but have no idea other than the witch taking the piss what it could be?

Never mind, decided to Google and as I thought it's far too early. I was sure I was out this month but had a few symptoms on and off that I don't normally get and so I've started symptom spotting when I swore I'd be good this ttw!
Argh!!

Welcome babyreadykate, I agree I really like having the support on here and hearing everyone's stories. I start doing opks around cd10, I ov around cd14-15 and I don't want to miss it so I start a bit earlier than that. The average ov day is 12-14 apparently.
This is going to sound really silly but I've been thinking of delaying TTC due to the leave vote today - is that ridiculous? Just very worried about mine and DH jobs now, and house, money etc
laura I think they say implantation would take place anywhere between 6-10dpo.
lelly yes next 24-36 hours.
I'm on cd8, awaiting FW.

Hello all, welcome Kate, hope everyone is doing well.
I'm CD 17 today, and standby yesterday's post that I ovulated last night. Going to keep BD over the weekend just in case. So far we've managed CD 8,11,12,14,16 and despite being cycle 6 it's the first time I feel we've really got our bases covered. The bad thing about this is that if I get a BFN I'll be even more disappointed because really, there not much more I feel I can do to make it happen.
Anyway, there's so much negativity today that I must stay positive. I do hope today's results don't negatively impact on anyone enough to make you worried about TTC. X

I am still here, reading and lurking. Welcome newbies! Good luck to everyone testing soon. I'm still waiting for fw, should be starting next Monday or Tuesday. Ho hum.

Good luck Wibble Sounds like a good effort to me I'm on CD6 didn't ovulate until around CD18 last cycle so hopefully it will come around quickly. Going to start OPKs from CD10 as this is only my second cycle so not regular yet.

Hi all, I would like to join the July bus please :)

TCC #1
Cycle 2
Age - 30
Currently on cd 34 at the moment - This will be my first proper AF off the pill. I am hoping it will arrive soon, I was hoping that I would go back to my regular 28 day cycle straight away but no.

With AF so late I am unsure where that puts my FW? Hopefully Ovia can help me out with that and I have also picked up some ovulation sticks from the pharmacy.

Good luck for July everyone!

Hi all!
So I got the positive Opk yesterday, going to dtd again tomorrow (8th time since last Thursday)
babyreadykate I'm also on cycle 10- nice to meet ppl on similar timelines... Let's hope we have done enough this month. I try to prepare myself each month but it gets harder each month. Going for day 21 tests on Monday. Fingers x'd for everyone

Hi everyone!
I don't think it will be long until I start looking at OPKs!! And it's only the second month of us trying
I'm not sure what's going on with my body at the moment. Has anyone had experience of mid-cycle bleeding/ovulation bleeding?
I've had spotting on/off for 6 days, which is long for ovulation bleeding apparently. Random light brown ewcm spotting and brown/red mucus (sorry).
What do you think? I'm wondering whether I should count the start of the spotting as cd1?
Thank you! x

Just checking in on the bus. It's getting pretty busy! Hopefully there will be lots of BFPs soon!
Anyone else just waiting for FW to start? I'm using OPKs everyday!! Still no lines though

My FW should start in 3 days... But I'm now getting brown spotting after my period ended a week ago, we have dtd once but there's no way I could've ovulated, unless it's twice a month?! God knows what's happening

Oooh foxglove, I have mid-cycle bleeding, but I don't think mine could be implantation- we only dtd 3 days ago

Hmmm ImprobableGirl, it's frustrating isn't it! I never have mid-cycle bleeding... The second month we start tic and I have no idea what's going on.
Maybe ovulation is happening earlier for you this month?? My spotting started about 6 days before I was expecting to ovulate. It has stopped now but I'm left wondering if I have ovulated or not??
Time will tell for the both of us! x

Would everyone consider this a positive OPK? I'm only CD12 so would be extremely early for me I am still BF DC2 though so cycle length can vary somewhat. Think I'll test again in a few hours anyway...

Hi Scandi I use those tests and this was my positive yesterday. The day before it looked like the one you have today. I'd BD today just in case as aparantly the days before ov are when ur most likely to concieve. I got my positive test yesterday but have only BD'd Wednesday and today so I don't think there's much chance iv caught it as I think Wednesday would be too early and today too late.

Hi MBire, I am day 10 but not fertile according to clearblue OPK, so hopefully I get a flashing smiley soon. This is my first month using it. Are you fertile already on day 10 of your cycle? Good luck to you this month, everything crossed. Wibble don't worry about the results and putting off babies as I think there is 'never a good time' and whatever is meant to be will be. Try not to feel anxious about it as everything will take a while to change any way. Look after yourself and your own family needs and the big things will fall into place. For instance, I am in between jobs at the moment, I am a teacher and starting a new school in Sept, now is not a good time BUT you really don't know how long these things take, so whatever happens will be a blessing for us I am sure. Hope you are feeling more positive today about things x

Hi, please can I join the bus? I'm 32, ttc #2 on cycle 2, CD1. I've not tried ovulation sticks or anything yet.
