July bus

[mumof1hants]

Anyone else want to jump on board the July bus? AF has just arrived for me after being 2 days late!

Anyway here's my info:

TTC: #2
Cycle: 3
Age: 37
CD01
AF/BFP due: 3rd July

Hoping this is our lucky month! Fingers crossed for everyone x

Hey Ladies,

How are ye this morning?

I tried tempting but my DIVA wakes some nights so I found it wasn't accurate.

No testing until we are late at least 14DPO we need to be strong

@Sophieb15 I'm ok thanks, feeling much more positive. Day off today so that helps! How are you?

Yeah I'm worried I'll wake for the toilet, I often wake around5am then nod back off too... will it still work? 🤷🏼‍♀️ x

@mumof1hants You have to do it at the same time every morning and before you get out of the bed! If you wake around 5am to go to the loo every morning do it then!

I'm feeling really positive about this month too!! I'm going to try the pineapple method this month. I'm happier as well that I miss counted and this is only my 5th cycle rather then my 6th because I think I will start to get very worried if it doesn't happen after 6 cycles. We got engaged at xmas and we are hoping to get married Sept 2021 but we didn't want to leave 6 years between kids so we are hoping we can get pregnant soon and for me to have a year then to get skinny before wedding!!!!

I work shifts so temping has never been an option for me, I don't have a regular routine to manage to temp.

I use 2 apps to log my cycle and OP strip but with odd results.

Both times I got pregnant before I just used the apps so hopefully I'm pretty regular.

Thanks for your kind words about my MMC it was heartbreaking.

Mumsnet can be great support at times though.

I'm also hopefully moving house this month so hoping to keep myself distracted and not test early.

With both previous BFPs I tested early so I'm not sure I'll hold out.

@sophieb15, ta the pineapple method?

@skybooks We will all help each other hold out it's so nice to talk to women in the exact same position.

The pineapple method is you buy a whole pineapple just cut off the skin cut straight down the middle including the core and then section it so you can eat 2 slices a day for 5/6 days after Ovulation.

Pineapple can aid conception as it's rich in an anti-inflammatory enzyme called Bromelain which can help embryos implant into the uterine lining. For results, eat some for five days following ovulation.

I've read up about it and it def worth a try this month. Myself and OH are also taking the Boots version conception for him and her since last month so going to continue with that.

Hi ladies,
Im feeling rubbish today thanks to the witch af! 😩 hope you lot are feeling better?

Im really trying to stay positive for this month/next although sometimes its hard to stay positive. X

Oh no @Lj02. We all have days like that... she really is vile!
I keep trying to tell myself it will happen eventually and that the longer it takes the more we can save in preparation... but ultimately I just want a baby ASAP! X

Dont get me wrong if someone said you will have your baby on this date in this year i think id be okay with that its the waiting around and over thinking every month 🙈🤣 i try to put it to the back of my mind or think ill take my mind off it but i actually dont think its possible once you know what you want 😡 x

I'm off to the gym now to get some happy endorphins after AF took so much out of me this month.

If one more person say RELAX and it will happen I will scream!!!!!!!!

My mum gave me a hug this morning and told me don't leave it take over my life it took her 8 years to have me so she understands how i feel every month that goes by but it just made me upset again. I mean I'm trying to forget about it as much as I can and keep myself busy. I am even planning what I can do to the house during the TWW to take my mind off it.

Wouldn't you love to be one of these people who just look at the OH and get pregnant

If only we was all like that 😩 my friend just had an abortion and asked me to help her through it like you serious right now!! She knows what ive been through and we are trying again but she really annoyed me! 😡

Anyway happy gym time x

Know exactly what you mean... my best friend got pregnant 3 times after having sex once each time!!! She has 2 children a year apart and then had an abortion... she said to me just this week 'did you want a big age gap then?'.... sooo insensitive! Especially when my first is only 20 months! I wouldn't consider that big but actually I have no control over it!!! X

I dont think some people fully understand to be honest. I dont think 20 months is a big gap anyway, ive had 3 years between my two and that was a good age gap for me. Its lucky to even be able to carry a child full term and healthy so i just think ill be lucky if it does happen again even if i do get annoyed its not happening right now 🙈😂 x

@Lj02 I totally agree!

@Sophieb15 planning things to do in the TWW is a good shout. In the past I've tried to avoid alcohol but it makes things very tricky!

Hello ladies

Ttc#1.
Ttc for 12 months now.
Irregular periods.
Age 32.
CD 2.

This bloody ttc is a struggle so far 🙈.

@Lj02 are u serious how insensitive. I’m so sorry for your loss my colleague in works wife has had 2 miscarriages one after the other and it is such a hard thing to go through but we are all here to talk everything out and be a support system for each other!!

@mumof1hants I’ve tried the avoiding alcohol but I think as long as it’s not overdoing it it’s safe. I think I’m going to clean my outside windows and eventually do the second coat on my bannister. Might even try a little gardening 🤣🤣

Welcome @Carley321 this is where we are now venting 😁😁

I'll jump on since I reckon I'll be joining anyway. This months af due between 7th and 10th so anytime really. Have to say this TTC is definitely stressful! I'm not sure whether to carry on with the cb connected or just take the see what happens approach. Trouble is not knowing when ovulation has taken place is just as bad as the 2WW!!!

@Lj02 sorry af arrived. I also had a mc in Feb so feel for you. Its definitely annoying when it isn't happening. I genuinely can relate to your frustration hun. Good luck for July.

@mumof1hants I hope July is all of ours month!!! I think our bodies get some kinda kick out of messing with our heads....
My OH also knows how I feel about getting pregnant but is taking the if it happens it happens approach now which although I feel it's a little insensitive I also feel it's maybe his way of better dealing with it???
A 20 months age gap isn't big! There's 10 years between my eldest and my second born!!! Ignore them!!

@Skybooks Sorry to hear of your mmc. I had a mc in Feb, the day before my 12 week scan. I also had a mmc in 2000. Life sure is cruel. Everything crossed for July for you x

@Carley321 Do you track at all? It is very frustrating and a huge struggle 😢

Good luck for July everyone. I really Hope July is everyone month xxx

Welcome @Carley321 sending you lots of luck...x

@Sophieb15 I totally agree. This group seems so supportive and understanding thank god 🤣 im hoping we all have a good cycle and have lots of pregnancy's this time around. X

Welcome @mommato3 thank you very much i do agree its hard i had my mmc earlier this year it was so hard to deal with but now i just get frustrated every time af turns up. Good luck to you this month x

@Lj02 Yes, I do too. Or as soon as I feel I'm out for a month. It seems to take forever to get to each month once it's been taken away. I've struggled each time af has arrived since mc. It's been absolutely horrible. If you ever want to chat feel free. Hugs and lots of baby dust xxx

@mommato3 thank you and same to you, good luck. Im available for people to rant at i get how frustrating it is every month x

@Lj02 Thank you hun xx

Welcome @Carley321 this is definitely the place to come! I love how supportive people on here are... it definitely helps me to talk about it (and makes me feel a little less obsessive & crazy!) x

@Sophieb15 wow sounds good! Maybe I should try making a plan like that! I'd like to book to go away for a few days too.... 🤔 x

@mommato3 ask you and sorry for your loss.

@sophieb15 oh I like pineapple maybe I'll try that too....

Thanks for sharing.
