July Bus

[HidCat]

Hey everyone,
I'm out for June so on CD1 and expecting AF to turn up around July 7th. Here's hoping for a lucky bus! 🍀 🚌

Welcome to the newbies and sorry it's been another unsuccessful month for you. Feel free to rant and get everything off your chest here when you're having a rough time.

Took delivery of my BBT thermometer this evening so going to see how that goes and will be jumping my hubby as soon as my period stops. We aim for the every 2-3 days routine. My period has been a bit stop start so think I'll probably have a few more days of it yet. Does anyone else find they get horny on their period?

Hi I'd love to join you all!

I'm ttc #5
38 years old
Cycle #1

Currently on cd20 of a 35ish day cycle, ovia is predicting my fertile days to be 22-27 with testing on the 27th which would be cd39 seems strange as my last cycle was 32 days.

Thanks for the welcome!

Feeling low this evening as now even more convinced about colleague and trying to brace myself for congratulations etc when the news is announced. I know that if I could separate the news from my own disappointments then I'd be happy for her but it'll be easier said than done.

Anyway, I definitely do not want to bring a thread down so keeping my fingers crossed that tomorrow I wake up feeling more positive! It's a new day and AF is coming to an end so it's a new month!

I have some belated birthday dinners this weekend so on the bright side I can have a glass of fizz

Hi all newbies. Hugs for those who need them. TTC is such a roller-coaster ride of emotions. Fingers crossed for you all this cycle.

Those just starting out, this place is great when you can't talk to people about TTC IRL. Welcome! And good luck!

Hidcat Yes! I think it's because there's more blood pumping round down there, slight contractions and extra lubrication. Quite awkward, I had a few sex dreams with MC too.

@hidcat hello again. Tentatively hopping on while having the weirdest AF (??) ever.
TTC #1
CD3 (?!)
Cycle 6 for us 😔

Hi all I'm jumping over from the June bus 😢

Cycle 2 after MMC
CD2
TTC no1

Good luck to everyone this month 💗

Think I'll be straddling the June and July buses - app reckons July, but it's got me on 32 day cycle and I've never been over 30 so I might be June. Either way, hoping that's a countdown to a BFP not AF.

34 yrs old
Ttc#2, DD1 is 14 months
Cycle 4, currently CD7, heaviest crampiest ever AT is still here as well overstaying her welcome.

@zoClueless I'm feeling much the same as you - I have a few friends who are pg/have newborns/having scans etc and I'm happy for them but sometimes it's very hard not to fall into the pit of self-despair and wonder why it hasn't happened for us yet. I'm heading into cycle 6 too and was thinking about the stats - 80% of couples conceive within the first 6 months.....I want to be in that 80%!!

Normal feelings I think but stressing over it isn't going to help us get the BFP....easier said than done!

@trippingoverrainbows and @jaykaydee sorry to see you over here but welcome!

Hi @Hidcat @Delilah7 and everyone else 👋🏻

Jumping on this thread as AF arrived this morning... feeling rather crappy as I write this but I guess it'll happen when it happens... 🤞🏻😭

Age; 23
TTC#1
Cycle 3
CD1

Followed SMEP vigorously last month and also drank grapefruit juice and pineapple juice/core... but had no luck! So I think this month we are going to stick to the OPK's alone and just DTD around that time and as and when we feel like it.... so the more 'relaxed' approach (even though none of us ever are actually 'relaxed') haha!

Sorry for the sour puss post, I'm usually very positive as @delilah7 well knows 😂

Hopefully we all get our summer babies 🤞🏻

@SunshineAndRainbows6 sorry your period arrived. Hope you're doing ok.

@SunshineAndRainbows6 hello darling! Oh I'm sorry. I felt exactly the same as you so you're not alone. It gets easier a day or so after and you just get back in the positivity of it all!! Missed ya xx

LP17 Fingers crossed that we get to be part of that 80% by the end of this month!

Fingers crossed!' Xx

There is something really shitty about one of your friends announcing a new baby when AF has just arrived. EUGH 😐

Hi all,

Thanks for the invite. I'm currently on my first round of Ttc this time, after Dr gives all clear to try again. Been trying for 6 months last time when a cyst was located.

Ttc: #2
Age: 29
Cycle: 1
Af: 5th July :)

Hi all,
Marking my place here.

Ttc #3 after mc in April.

Af is due in next couple of days and tested today and bfn.

Feeling like I am out as previous pregnancies I had a positive by now!

Hope July see lots of BFPs on this thread!

trippingoverrainbows Hugs! That is really tough. xxx

Oh that's horrible @tripping.

Day 8 of the longest crampiest period I've ever had.

@tipping I have a women at work who recently annoced she's pregnant and it's all they talk about. Any cravings, are you tired. I avoid that part of the staff room now. So hard.

Thanks ladies for the support. It's so hard especially when you know the person that's had the baby has struggled also. You're so happy for them but sad for you 💕

tripping hugs from me too. This is exactly the work situation that I am trying to mentally prepare myself for at the moment

I understand that just met my cousins little boy as he's 3 weeks old. Was so hard not to get upset that I didn't have one and he wasn't my little one but so happy for them too!

It's hard to balence being happyfor them but sad for you when I found out my cousin was pregnant (she fell on the implant too) I said I'd be pregnant by the time her baby arrived. Shes twenty weeks now, had a major wobble when I found out I the sex because life felt so unfair. DP is great but he doesn't get it, must be a man thing.

@ClaryFray I think men are able to detach a bit more. It does seem unfair though that we're completely absorbed by it and our partners are sitting there thinking we're nuts! I think mine might hide my phone if I'm not careful 😬
