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

@Hannah1925 it almost looks like the bottom is darker? What cd are you now and how long normally are your cycles?

@Sophieb15 keeping yourself nice and busy! Half way there! Ish. I called and they looked at my records and said I'd need to see the dr before they do bloods. All advance apps are booked so I have to call Friday morning to book for that day 🤞🏻they get me in and dr agrees to do it. You can pay for them but I'd prefer to have it done properly/officially the others I've seen are kits they post and I don't like the idea of taking my own blood 🙈

@Sophieb15 2DPO I think. Three apps giving me different AF due days, 7th, 9th and 11th 🤷🏼‍♀️ how are you getting on?

@Louise190 I'm 11 DPO with cramping back ache and sore boobs just waiting for AF to arrive really so I can get to next month. I will still be on the July bus if AF arrives at the weekend i'll be due again 27th/28th July

Did you not use OPK's?

@Abi58 CD 20 and my cycles are approx 31. I thought that! So annoying cxx

Ooo @Sophieb15 we are cycle twins 😁

@Hannah1925 hmm it's hard to say. Only thing you can do is keep doing them and see what happens or leave it and see what happens 🙁🤷🏻‍♀️ let us know if you do anymore

I keep dipping in and out of this thread and there had been 6 pages of new posts when I came back today!

Feel behind most of you, expecting to ovulate tomorrow/Friday though that is only guesswork based on my standard cycle as not temping or using OPKs.

Thought I would be calm and laid back for the first cycle ttc #2 but I’m definitely not 🙈. Have dtd on cd9, 10 & 12 so far and planning on the next 3 days if possible. Not had much ewcm this month though, although I do find regularly dtd makes it hard for me to tell whether there is any or not 🤔.

Congrats @Abi58 and fingers crossed @Sophieb15 that you get that bfp soon!

Started thinking more rational now, thanks everyone 😊

Will see how this tww goes and if spotting continues I will go to the docs.

I can't confirm ov either as I had a huge temp drop this morning putting it down to this awful cold and sleeping with my mouth open 🙈

Had static smiley cd19 so going by that this month.

@Abi58 Your confusing me today hahaha cycle twins? x

@Ithoughtyouwere Thank you. I know I'm not out until AF arrives but feeling deflated today about the aches.
I though I would be way more laid back too for my 2nd but that def didn't happen. I am going to try my best though for next month not to overthink anything and keep myself busy doing stuff to the house.

@PocaNinja
DTD last night and will aim to at least every other night until Monday, if not more! Busy times ahead 😂😂 if no luck this cycle then I will be enjoying plenty of wine tasting and also DTD on holiday haha think my fertile week would fall on the second half of the holiday.

Seems like ages away on 1DPO but just keep busy, any plans to take your mind off it all?

@Ithoughtyouwere
We must be in the same place in our cycle, I'm due OV any day now too! Only noticed some EWCM on one day last month so can be hard to tell

@Ithoughtyouwere good luck 😁🤞🏻
And thank you 😁

@Sophieb15 sorry I'm alll over the place today! We're both 11dpo 😁

@Sophieb15 do you normally get those symptoms for AF? Fingers crossed you get a surprise!

Yeah I have been using OPKs for the last two cycles. The best I have ever got is a "nearly positive". Both times on the same CD. So I concluded that that was my positive so put that on my apps. One thinks I OV on that day and the other two think it was Monday 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Abi58 I could be 10 DPO but I'm convinced I O the same day as my positive so I'm going with 11 DPO. Due AF Sat if I have a 14 day LP .

@Louise190 The last 5 months I've have every symptom under the sun. But my major symptom every month is back ache since getting the implant out in Jan. Last month then was the first month I had really sore boobs have them as well this month. I'm trying to see it as a positive that my Progesterone has risen every month. I'm over the waiting now though I just want AF to come so I can start month 6.
Hopefully you won't need to but try CB 4 day next month and it will pinpoint it a bit better for you as you get a static smiley and then O 12-48 hours later.

@Sophieb15 @mumof1hants Don't give in. Don't test early. You've got this. The easiest way for me to take my mind off it all is a game in my phone called block puzzle. It's simple and boring but addictive too!!! I can be sat hours without realising more than a few minutes have passed. Try it?

@Abi58 I'm trying not to read too much into it at this stage. Checked my apps and previously only logged cramps at 4 fats before af shows so??? Feeling pretty nauseous on and off today aswell and last night from early evening was pretty knackered BUT I've had that in the weeks run up to af showing before now too so again, daren't read much into anything 🤷‍♀️

@mommato3 I'm fine when I'm at home because there is always washing or cleaning to do. It's work when its quiet but can't be on my phone so end up googling.

Was just reading up on all the AF vs Pregnancy symptoms and there was one page and she was a fertility doctor. She said cramps,sore books, nausea and all the other annoying things that happen are because of progesterone levels and not Implantation cramping or because AF is on the way. She said they only way to know is with a missed period. So we all need to stay strong and not test early!!!

I feel a bit better though that I'm def not out until the witch arrives even with all the cramping and backache.

@abi58 I forgot to reply toy you earlier about the pains in my legs yes they start at my bones and work down my thighs about halfway. All my pains have eased at the moment so I'm fingers crossed they stay away and if I test Sunday morning I will get my BFP!!!!

@Sophieb15 That's interesting. Will remember that. I'm determined not to test before af doesn't show as I'm sick of torturing myself every month!!!

Good luck hun. Hope that witch stays away 🤞

@mommato3 I'll be on for next 2 days anyway trying to keep myself busy in work. Thank you me too. Hopefully we have a lot of BFP's in this group this month

@Sophieb15 I hope so too. Plenty of us have been waiting long enough!!!! I'd like to think I'd be one of them but daren't get too optimistic for feel of being let down once again!!

I'll be on and off too. Got to refrain from touching a test until a week on Sunday at the VERY earliest. Would rather wait until Monday but Sunday should do!!! Maybe!!!

When are you testing? Is it this weekend? I can't keep track of everyone's days! 🤦‍♀️

@Abi58 yes I will attached, first temp I took was wrong as I done it in the middle of the day before reading correctly how to do it, I was away for a week on holidays just over a week ago so didn’t use my sticks, my first spike was when I was away but I haven’t had any other signs like discharge or anything! So I’m just DTF every other day incase I miss anything 😂

@Abi58 done another one just and negative so must have happened... Phew!! Hope you're well ccc

@mommato3 I'm due AF sat so I will test sunday if it doesn't arrive. @mumof1hants I think is tempted to test sunday too. We can all test the same day

@Sophieb15 AF isn't due until 6th for me. It's a week on Sunday I'll be testing. I'm only 5dpo currently sadly

I'm leaving this here - as it has helped me today!

@Sophieb15 that's a good way to look at it. I had my coil removed last summer and my periods were really regular as were my symptoms until TTC but I guess I am just looking for more! The TWW is torturous isn't it, the worst bit by far. I had considered it for this cycle but instead decided to relax on all of it (I was temping as well and stressing massively). I think I might invest in the CB next cycle though, at least then I can get a definitive!

@mommato3
I will be testing next Sunday too, on 7th July (I hope!)
