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! 🍀 🚌

[Ksjourney]

Is there a seat free on the bus so I can hop on please...

TTC#2
Cycle 3 (actively trying)
AF due 14th

Fingers and toes crossed for a lucky bus!!

[HidCat]

Welcome @Alex2790 and @Ksjourney . Sorry June wasn't the month but hoping that World Cup fever is good for baby making!

[Ksjourney]

Hi @HidCat thanks for driving the July bus. Fingers crossed for this month!! 🤞

[Alex2790]

@HidCat thank you hopefully july is a lucky month 🤞🏻. What does ovulation pain actually feel like how do people tell the difference between that and wind lol i had a painfull stabbing pain on my left side today but im only on cycle day 8 so it cant be ovulation too early x

[HidCat]

@Alex2790 people feel different things but most people don't feel anything or mistake something else for ovulation. I get a short pain on one side if I feel anything but I've heard that some feel a "pop" sensation.

Pos opk today and long awaited and delayed ov after v early miscarriage last month. I'm cd 23 and due af on 3rd July!!! Lots of dtd today tomoz and day after . Any one any tips to help with implantation ? I'm taking a baby aspirin every other day and all the usual ttc vitamins. I might do the old hot water bottle trick to warm up my stomach lol I am a cold blooded person and enjoy clutching at straws . Might encourage some blood flow 🙄🙈

[HidCat]

@lolacola13 I've been told to keep my feet warm lol

Hey everyone, can I grab a seat please?

TTC #2 (DD is 18mo)
Cycle #2 just ended with the lovely AF coming today
I only stopped BF this month (AF came back a year ago though all nice and regular) and my cycles have gone haywire with last AF being 5 days late and this AF coming 8/9 days early!

I'm much cooler about trying this time as I was a bit OTT first time round but here I am so clearly not that blasé about it in the end 😂

(DD was on 3rd cycle so fingers crossed for July!)

[ClaryFray]

Feeling a bit pants already, feel tired all the time, and sickie. But in the middle of the fertile week so it can't be anything more than a cold. Gotta try and get my self into work :(

Hope your all well

@Alex2790 @Ksjourney @Jamjar12 welcome ladies 🤞 for a lucky July x

ClaryFray the stress abd anxiety ttc makes me tired constantly! Take a relaxing bath tonight- hope you feel better 😊

@lolacola13 I'm just doing the same things as you after having an early miscarriage last month. Tempted to try the hot water bottle now too!

I never seem to get a positive ovulation test so just using the dates and other signs that I'm ovulating. Don't know if it's because I'm using the cheap ones (one step) or doing something wrong. How many times a day are you supposed to test?

Does anyone else's DP feel under pressure to DTD and not want to do it when they are ovulating? So frustrating.

[HidCat]

@LivingOnAPear I never get a positive on the opks either. Figure I can't hold it long enough (shouldn't drink or wee for a couple of hours before taking in the afternoon). Can't be arsed with paying full whack for the clear blue ones you take in the morning so have given up.

I try not to put too much pressure on DH and don't tell him where I am in my cycle. So far the ignorance has been fine for him. It is sod's law though that they never feel up to it in the key window 🤦🏼‍♀️

Hello - back again!

30, ttc #1, cycle 12

V early miscarriage last month finally confirmed and over with. Weirdly feeling much more positive because now I know we actually can conceive!

CD10 and I’m already feeling like I’m gearing up to ovulate - normally ov around cd 18! So I imagine this month will be an odd one.

[Angelmiracle]

@Spottyyellowdress hi again 👋 So sorry for your loss 💐 That must have been hard for you.

Glad to hear you're feeling positive and yeah you know you can get preg!! 🤞🤞🤞 Best wishes for July.

[Angelmiracle]

Ladies who is in FW week?
What is the plan of action dtd this time?

I'm not sure what to do different if anything. Maybe just every other day....

[Ksjourney]

Thank you @Angelmiracle

Oh no @Spottyyellowdress so so sorry. That must have been really disappointing. Loving your positive outlook for July! We will hold your hand through this month! 💐

[lolacola13]

Hi guys I'm ov today as had my peak yest so just trying to fit in quickies when we can and then I go and lie up for 20mins lol. Me and oh decided I wouldn't tell him when I'm ov or the sticks etc it is a lot of pressure he doesn't need. We're just dtd every other day and sometimes u grab an extra quickie in between during ov like today lol hope
For the best! Xoxo

[ClaryFray]

@angelmiracle I'm in my fertile week and just dtd as much as possible. Twice in 24 hours yesterday, determined for positive this month. Just so tired today so may give it a miss tonight.

[Bas27]

Hoping on the bus if there is still room guys 🚌

Age:26
Ttc: #1
Cycle: 2 (?)

Had implanon for nine years.
Had it out 5 weeks ago and just started my first period since age 17.

Hoping July will be my month.

Fx for all you lovely ttcers out there. 🤞🚌🔥

[HidCat]

@Spottyyellowdress so sorry to see you back but loving the positivity. I'm sure your sticky bean won't be too long.

@ClaryFray nice going!

@Bas27 welcome and good luck!

Turns out I'm not as covert as I thought. Suggested to hubby we DTD tonight and his response was "are you ovulating by any chance?" Oops. Of course I said I have no idea....

[zoClueless]

HidCat that's what I always think when people say that their partners don't know ovulation dates - how so their DH/DPs not just guess!

Think I'm in fw now although still waiting for positive opk. Still keeping to the SMEP schedule, we'll see how it goes when we have to up from every other to every day for 3 days!!

Now that colleague has confirmed her pregnancy I feel determined that July has to be my lucky month - I don't want any more confusing jealously getting in the way of how happy I am for her and it'd also be lovely to have a few months at work before she goes on Mat leave where she knew about me too!

Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone!

[Alex2790]

Thanks @HidCat 🤞🏻Hopefully this is are lucky month 🙏🏻 This is month 13 for me 😞 x

[Spottyyellowdress]

@hidcat @angelmiracle @ksjourney
hello again! Lovely to see familiar faces and thanks for all the support...I’m feeling dead positive this month, I reckon it’ll rub off on you all! 🤞for us all jumping off this bloody bus ASAP!

[Angelmiracle]

That's fantastic @Spottyyellowdress !!

DS asked us today could he have a brother or sister 🙁 Thats the 20th odd time he's asked! We're on holidays so he wanted a friend for the pool!

Hoping the relaxing and stress free break will do dh and I a world of good. May/June had been super stressful never mind ttc!

[TheMagicTorch]

Hi ladies,
Unfortunately hopping on to the July bus. Got my BFP last week (4 FRERs to be precise) but started bleeding yesterday when AF was due originally so looking like a chemical pregnancy

Wishing I hadn't tested early, as I would have just thought this was my AF and saved myself the heartache. Let's see if I can sit on my hands during the TWW this time!

So, anyway.
I'm 29
TTC #1
Cycle 4
Cycle Day 2

AF not due until around 16th July.
