July bus - jump aboard!

[ladydolly]

Thought I'd start a July bus, I'll be due to test around the 3/4th (because I'm impatient mostly). Fingers crossed for us all!

Can I jump on the bus.
32 yrs
TTC #2
Cycle 1
CD2

I'm gonna be totally sane this time round!! But not sure how well that would work if it takes 10 cycles again.

Welcome sciencegirl and best of luck. Hope it doesn't take too long for you.

Mamasbook that's great, well done! I think we're on the same time frame, so I set my alarm for 5am to get one last try before DH goes away with work. Yeah the hot weather makes it a bit gross 😂- one plus side to the early morning is that it was cool enough.

PS check out my poem. I was wide awake and bored after he left. I really need to get a life 😂www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/2958814-A-poem-about-trying-and-waiting-lighthearted

Love the poem cheese. Heehee

I have a toddler and my DH works constantly changing shifts. I see finding time to DTD at the right time will be even tricker this time. Any tips to deal with the toddler bit?

withcheese what day are on on the fw? Has your dh gone now for a few days?

science I don't have a toddler. My dc is 7. Hmmmm does toddler sleep through in own bed? As those factors would mean evenings would be perfect timing. Morning dtd I find tricky as dc often wakes up early and bursts in!!

mamasbook today is CD15 and expected Ov is CD 18. Yeah he's away for a few days from now.

Yes @mamabooks, minimum body contact

withcheese you're deffo still in with a chance this month then as its up to 5 days sperm can stay alive. What cycle are you on? I'm on cd 14 and ov on cd 17. So we are very similar.

Thanks mamasbook yeah I definitely haven't given up - it was just a bit last minute that he was asked to go, so thrown us off a bit - but I'm hoping we still have a really good chance.

It's my 2nd cycle since mc, but it took 8 cycles the last time...

science I have a 7 and 4 year old, you just have to be creative! We often dtd in the living room after the kids are in bed as our 4 yr old tends to wake and come straight to our bedroom.

I bloody did ovulate yesterday!! I just did an opk and it's totally blank. There was a line there yesterday just not as dark as normal. SO ANNOYING! I've just text DP and said we need to get in quick, I might even leave work early...

Wish me luck everyone!!

Best of luck ladydolly xx

Good luck ladydolly - damn opks!

My poor DH is finding really hard to dtd every day on fertility window I think he's feeling the pressure! We've gone for every other day at least. Went to the doctors yesterday about an abnormal bleed last month and doc thinks it was a chemical....least I suppose things are sort of moving in the right direction!

Good luck @ladydolly!

@Mrsjones17 my DH is exactly the same, he feels too much pressure so we only manage every other day unless I think it's ovulation day and we try and dtd two days in a row. After fertile window we are shattered!

Just been to wilkos and purchased some clear & simple ovulation tests. Never really used them seriously before but I'm going to give them a go this month. Determined not to miss ovulation day like I did last month. Normally I'm 25 day cycle but after ditching the vitamins which extended my cycle then I don't have a clue what cycle length I'm having. Am I best to just test based on a 25 day cycle? The packet suggests from cd8 if so which seems a little early.

I test from cd 11 but have a 32 day cycle. I use the one step ones from Amazon that are same as Wilkinson ones but cheaper. Can bulk buy them in packs of 50.

Yes we are shattered after window too haha!

I know what you mean MrsJones re the pressure and the exhaustion... sometimes it feels less like a 'window' and more like a whole conservatory of time!

Mine too MrsJones & Cheese, he txt me today saying "is the window closed? Can I have a rest??" 😂

Deed done! I tried to make it sound sexy by coming home for 'afternoon delight' but I think he still felt dutiful!

A pitiful attempt given all the intense fertile week efforts here! Good work ladies.

Not pitiful at all lady, get in

That's great ladydolly... fingers crossed! Oh yeah the old "I'm just sooooo in the mood it's the last thing I feel like doing trick"

@adrianaweatherwax 😂😂 poor guy! We're going for it tonight, just cooked tea to try and ease the pressure haha! We are still trying to keep the fun as such but can be quite difficult sometimes to forgot what the end goal really is! I think I should ovulate tomorrow so hopefully should be ok if we DTD today and might try and convince him tomorrow. Normally it's him pestering me haha!!!

withcheese that cracked me up. Well done dolly.
It's quite an effort and I do feel like I'm pestering dp for sex and I think he can tell it's my fw as its the only time I do !

We've just dtd wahey!

FW isn't until next week but DH 'made moves' after I got out of the shower this morning. Not a bad way to start off the morning!
Then he suggests that we DTD every day. 'Oh really darling? Well, if you insist...' (she says whilst reclining on a chaise lounge, wearing silk lingerie, eating grapes and fanning herself suggestively with a paper fan) 😂 😂 😂
