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! 🍀 🚌

It’s so nice to have other people to talk to about this!!
I’m 28 and have a 7yo boy and 6yo girl from my first husband who passed away 2.5 years ago! I am marrying my second chance at love next month and we decided life’s too short and we both always said we’d like to have a child together so we decided to try. This is my first cycle trying and I’m currently 8dpo. I got pregnant very quickly with my first two but as this is a different partner, he doesn’t have any children and I’m a bit older than when I conceived my older two, I’m quite apprehensive! I’m also a midwife so it is super tough being surrounded by pregnant mums and babies all day at work when I’m desperate for that myself, fingers crossed for a quick conception xx

@Charlotte1x this is the last place to feel embarrassed, don't worry!

@MidwifeMummy161 Sorry to hear about your husband Keeping my fingers crossed for a quick conception for you, it must be tough working in that environment.
My partner passed away 2 years ago as well, I'm 29 & we didn't have any children together - we put other things first like careers and holidays. My current partner is amazing and we said the same - life's too short, we both want our first baby together and I'm not putting it on hold for anything this time.
I'm 8dpo too so hopefully we'll be seeing BFPs soon. x

I'm so sorry to hear of your losses @MidwifeMummy161 and @TheMagicTorch
I wish you both all the best

Ahhh @TheMagicTorch I’m so sorry for your loss too, but so lovely to hear you’ve found love again, I think going through something like we have makes you realise life is too short and if you get the chance to be happy you have to grab it with both hands! Both 8dpo too fingers crossed this month is our month, when will you test do you think x

Thank you @Treaclepie19 ❤️❤️

@MidwifeMummy161 and @TheMagicTorch I'm so sorry to read about your losses but how wonderful you've both found love again. I'm keeping everything crossed that you both get those BFPs soon. You both sound like amazingly strong women ❤️

@MidwifeMummy161 just seen your reply from yesterday. Tested this morning and still BFN and still no AF. Wish I was sure on what dpo I was as not sure whether I'm testing early or if AF is just round the corner.

Very sorry to hear of your and @TheMagicTorch losses but lovely to see you've both found your second chances who have similar feelings of just going for ttc and not wasting time

@MidwifeMummy161 Thank you lovely. It definitely changes your outlook. If you'd asked me before I would never have guess I'd have moved on so quickly but as you say lifes too short and my DP is bloody amazing and understanding. I'm trying my best to wait until AF is due but I might test around the end of this week.

Thank you @treaclepie19 ❤ @zoclueless ❤ and @noseringgirl
It would be amazing to get our BFP at the same time. I never thought I'd find love again but I've bee so lucky, I never normally think of myself as strong but when I look back I have been strong. I love the support on these boards it's fab

Im getting pissed of now whats the point end of month 13 now was getting excited as im on cycle day 29 only usually have a 28 day cycle and have a couple of days of spotting before hand. Had nothing at all so thought yes might actually be pregnant so bought a test on my break at work and guess what light bit of blood when i wipe and a tiny amount on pad new it was too good to be true. Going to drs tomorrow and there not fobbing me off with oh wait till sept before testing it fucking stupid now x

Sorry to hear that @Alex2790 definitely stand your ground with the GP and at least get those basic blood tests. Good luck!

Definitely @TheMagicTorch I am going to try and wait now but will blatantly test every other day until I see a line or AF 😂 #noselfcontrol
So sorry @Alex2790 definitely go to the GP you know your body best!
Thank you @NoseringGirl what CD/dpo are you? Fingers crossed for our good news this month xx

@MidwifeMummy161 I'm 3DPO (or in fact 4DPO now it's past midnight ) I'm expecting to slip into full symptom spotting obsession very soon. It's my favourite part of the cycle!

Hello all! I’m 37 and hoping for baby number three. This is my first cycle and we only managed to have sex once - my husband was away for work - but it was 11 days into my 25 day cycle so I’m still hopeful. My oldest child (7) was an accident and I conceived my second (3) first cycle. Would be incredible if it happened again but trying my best not to get my hopes up. I’ve been reading all the boards, feels like I have so much to learn, despite already having two kids. Good luck everyone.

Well, isn't this just a tad annoying/confusing 🤔

So I mentioned the other day, that I'm using the clear blue monitor, and that that I can only test once a day.

The pink one is the digital which I got my smiley face Sunday night.
The test I the picture is actually Sunday morning, which is what made me test Sunday night.

The purple one is the clear blue monitor which I just used.. which told me yesterday was peak, and today is peak, but today's looks about the same as yesterday's. These lines are nowhere near matching in colour 🤷🏻‍♀️
I rarely have 2 peak days in a row, but going by the colour and the smiley face I'm thinking I started surging Sunday sometime.

Anyone had any issues with this nice expensive monitor?

I’ve been trying to avoid the TWW this month as it is my last chance I think - DH has changed his mind about DC3 so if I’m not pregnant this month I won’t get the chance again - in any case I caved yesterday and bought some Lloyd’s cheapies but I’m fairly certain they’re evaps although I’m trying to convince myself that this mornings (bottom) is darker than yesterday afternoon (top)!

@DartmoorDoughnut

I can see a very faint line 🤞🏻 how many dpo are you??

If DH has changed his mind and you still would like another, you should discuss contraception with him, and tell him if he really doesn't, then it's all down to him to get and use the protection... men hate that 😂

@DartmoorDoughnut I think I see something? I really want that second line to be there for you though! Where in your cycle are you?

@Wishful30 I’m not 100% on dpo but I think I ov’d on the 1st which makes me 9dpo? AF due 13th I think.

DH is after a vasectomy I think but hasn’t booked a doctors appt yet. Sadly his contraception of choice is abstinence! I mean it’s affective but not my preferred option 😄

@NoseringGirl fingers crossed and thank you!

@DartmoorDoughnut
Oh dear 😐 he's very serious then.

I've had a couple of chemicals, and one of mine was a faint positive at 8dpo!!
Keeping my fingers crossed for you that you've got yourself a little sticky bean 🤞🏻🤗

What the hell is going on with this months cycle?! 🙈😭

CD13 +opk & temp dip - FF shows ovulation
CD14 -opk & temp rise
CD15 -opk & temp dip, again
CD16 -opk & higher temp rise

Still above coverline:
CD18 implantation dip? -opk
CD19 another +opk! & BFN on IC

I thought tracking made things easier! Haha I'm done 🤯

@Pudding01 maybe implantation dip on 6DPO and the dip on 2DPO is just an anomaly?
I had a big rise then dip and second rise a few cycles ago and looking back, I most likely ovulated on the second rise. No idea what the first one was about!
All this tracking is good for giving a better idea about when ovulation happened but it definitely isn't an exact science and can sometimes leave you more confused!

Haha I know, I thought it was going smoothly, even with the weird 2nd dip 2dpo.
My temps have been where they need to be. I seemingly had a standard implantation dip yesterday, with my temp going back up today.
So this second +opk on day 20, with the high temp has left me well and truly stumped lol
I give up! X

Could CB opk pick up pregnancy before IC??
Or is it possible to ovulate twice in one month?

Or is charting actually total BS?? 😂🙈😂 x

Hey @pudding01, that truly is strange! It seems a bit early for the CB OPK to pick up a bfp as that looks like it's 7dpo, although probably not unheard of? Have you also poas as well? My other theory is that you've ovulated twice and are destined for twins (considering your strategically timed BD before seonc OPK+).. no joke it happened to a friend of mine!
