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! 🍀 🚌

@Jimmytk Don’t beat yourself up about this, you haven’t caused anything. You couldn’t have caused anything that quickly. I’m 7DPO and had a gin and tonic last night watching the football. Many people have a drink while TTC before finding out they are definitely pregnant. Hugs to you.

Thanks @Noseringgirl ! Just to confirm, 6DPO is wayyyyy too early to test isn’t it? I found myself feeling upset and I thought, why?! Even if I was pregnant it was never going to be positive. I think I need to make sure I don’t have any in the house until it’s sensible to test!

@Charlotte1x oh yeah it's definitely way too early. I think 6DPO is the absolute earliest implantation could occur (though it's more likely to be later) and you need at least 48 hours after implantation for hcg to be detectable in your urine. Step away from the tests!

@WaitingforDaffodils Yeah, I'm one week into the TWW! Really going to struggle this week, and have promised DP I won't test until AF is due!

Ovulation is imminent, and of course DH has to work away tomorrow/Tuesday now. Bloody typical.
Should've taken that injection!

On an upside the Clomid didn't cause hyper stimulation of the ovaries. So one large good follicle one side and a smaller one the other.
Likely to just release the one.

Has anyone had generalised uterus/ovary pain both sides after the Clomid?
And my cervix is pretty tender/sore during bd too (sorry tmi)
Noticed I just 'hurt' for the last couple of days

@Wishful30 I think I remember a general tender feeling on clomid (it was a few years ago now mind!) I put it down to my body having to do things it's wasn't used to doing!
Kicked my lazy ovaries into action 🤣 I hope you manage to ovulate before tomorrow but even if it's in the next couple of days, DTD tonight should put you in with a chance!

Thanks @NoseringGirl
Dtd this morning and will try and keep DH awake tonight 😂

No LH surge yet so I guess I may not actually ovulate until 24/36 hrs after?

Hi ladies joining the bus been a bit AWOL last few weeks as life just taken over. I'm about 5dpo at the minute and though being positive I feel it won't be our month as only managed once during fw. Will catch up soon. Hope everyone doing well x

I got a postive OPK on friday, but unfortunately DH was working nights over the weekend!, and no one to have DC in the day, so couldn't try which is very annoying, We did manage to DTD on Thursday but think i will be out this month.

@Wishful30 it seems to vary! I got a temp rise the day after my positive OPK.

@Owlpatrol and @fizzytonicplease it only takes the once during that fertile window. You never know!

Very true! Just worried if i tell myself im still in, then i will drive myself crazy symptom spotting in the 2ww lol

I know what you mean @fizzytonicplease, it can be less stressful to not have the hope!

DTD Thursday sounds perfect timing @fizzytonicplease!

We've officially started. Got an early DTD in for cd6. Not doing any OPKS so just going to see what happens!

So... my clear blue monitor only lets you opk test once a day. This has annoyed me since I started using it. I used the smiley face sticks before.
The fertility clinic tell you to 'only test for LH surge with your first morning pee'

I know from previous googling that you can either miss your surge, or catch the end of it and ovulation can be over and done with really fast.

So I know I should get my positive opk tomorrow/Tuesday.
I know my left ovary is going to be the one releasing the egg.
I have been aching for a few days ovaries and uterus for no real reason.
This morning, negative opk on both tests.
This afternoon I had a mild stab/pop feeling from my left side (I always feel ovulation on the right, not usually the left) I have NO aching anymore. It's all gone.

Something told me to test again...
used the stick, low and behold.. smiley face 🤦🏻‍♀️

Here's to hoping I have either already ovulated or will do in the next 12hours as DH will be gone at 5am and not back till Tuesday.
Best bd again tonight to be sure 🤞🏻

This is so not confusing at all!!!

@zoClueless hopefully this is your cycle when will you test? Xx

@Wishful30 if you BD tonight that should be enough to catch the egg, do you have egg white cervical mucus?

@MidwifeMummy161
No... I have very little cm in generally anyway, but I think Clomid has dried it all up. I've had literally none.
We are using conceive plus lube tho so 🤞🏻

I used that for the first time this cycle, fingers crossed for you xxx

@Wishful30 🤞🤞 for you that egg is caught sounds good!!

I tested Fri night again with CB advanced caught the surge!! Hopefully covered. Tww begins....🤤

Hey all - I'll say good morning because I'm in Australia.

So today I either 5dpo (based on my ov pain) or 7dpo based on my fitbit estimate.

Either way, today I just feel nothing at all....which I guess is to be expected, but yesterday and the day before I felt really different!

Yesterday had a surge of nausea in the evening, which subsided after half an hour. I also had a wave of that kind of debilitating, heavy tiredness that feels like someone has put a really heavy blanket on top of you - I only remember that kind of sensation from my two previous pregnancies. I was kind of hoping I'd wake up with it again - but no - feeling grand this morning and full of beans. I think my imagination is having a field day :-).

Thankyou @MidwifeMummy161 and @Angelmiracle

🤞🏻 for you too!! 🙂

My clear blue said peak this morning. Even tho the lines are most definitely not the same colour. So I ovulate anytime from yesterday to tomorrow I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️
Just hope I peak and ovulate close together.

Here's to Clomid babies. Lots of healthcare professionals I've met alone the way have said 'I have a Clomid baby'
So it works well for a lot of people 😁

@marthamay it's amazing what your brain can start doing during the TWW, especially if it has experience of being pregnant before! I think that we get all sorts of symptoms every TWW but the ones from cycles where we end up pregnant stick in our minds. It's exhausting!

@Wishful30 my clomid baby has a settling in session at school today. It doesn't seem that long ago that I was taking the clomid! 🤞🏻 for you!

I got FF crosshairs today, 3DPO and fully into the TWW! Will probably start testing at 9DPO because I'm ridiculous 🙈

Hope everyone's well? Thought I'd update you guys. So I'm on my 3rd cycle and I know they say it can take 3 months before your pill is out so I'm HOPING this month can do something. I noticed in my knickers some white ish discharge last night so we DTD yesterday, hoping I get ( TMI) that slimy clear stuff soon so I know I'm defo near ovulation. Says it should be Wednesday so I'll just try do it most days this week! Really hoping we fall pregnant soon. X

I tested today on 8dpo I don’t know why I can’t control myself, it was negative obviously

@MidwifeMummy161 - I’m nearly too embarrassed to admit that I tested at 5DPO 🤭 no idea why, I just suddenly got the urge! It was of course negative, was never going to be anything else!

Haha that’s sounds like me @Charlotte1x I just FEEL so pregnant haha
