July Bus 🚌

[Crash1d]

Hey

I was a part of a lovely thread that has now closed. So I’m starting a new one for all of those who will be testing in July.

I myself will be due to test the 1st of July

Let me know your test dates!

Good luck all

@LT103 oh thank you. I have a batch of the internet cheapies so don't mind using them all 😂 I did one this morning and not even a hint of a second line. So I'll stick to one a day until around CD11 then I'll POAS about ten times a day.

Is it just me or does time stand still when you're TTC.

@zippityzip we’ve been trying for 3 months but this is first time actually tracking and I feel like it’s just permanently waiting for the next stage!! I might need to relax a bit if this is going to take time, couldn’t do this every month!

I used the femometer sticks, you take a photo with the app and it scores them (would maybe work with the other sticks too). It made it really easy. I got peak yesterday morning and cramping last night/this morning with some spotting so definitely correct timing. I’ve put a pic on of what mine did. They made it quite easy to tell what was happening

@LT103 Ah that's awesome and so clear. I've just tested with OPKs and I've got the beginnings of a line. Like a shadow it's so faint but I've never ever had the hint of another line so far so I'm really hoping that I ovulate this month.

@kalecat
Sorry to hear of the conflicting results. I would probably wait till my period was 1 day late before testing. But I know that's easier said than done.

@Kalecat Any updates? How are you getting on.

Hi all, I would also like to hop aboard the July bus please
TTC baby number 1. I am 33 and DH is 37. I came off the pill in February and first proper AF did not arrive until May. First proper cycle post pill was 31 days and my skin has been struggling with the changes in hormones - anyone else had that problem?
I'm awaiting ovulation but AF may be due 10th July. Tracking using Fermometer strips and app (free version).
Fingers crossed for everybody

Welcome @abc222 I came off pill end feb. I seemed to start cycling straight away but have had some odd periods and def a few spots! Back to getting cramping as well which stopped when on the pill. We started trying couple months ago but tracked this month with Femometer and cycle seems to be pretty normal. Trying for #1 here too! Good luck with your journey

@zippityzip I'm 12 dpo and those lines I got on 8 dpo still haven't progressed. Just getting BFNs or indents on the cheapies. Must've been a fluke day. I'm going to stop testing now and just let AF come. ☹️

@LT103 glad to hear your cycles are back to normal - gives me some hope! Good luck to you too!

Can I join this bus please? I'm 33 and TTC our first. AF due on the 10th. Seems unlikely to happen this month as we only decided to give in and give it a go yesterday on ovulation day but who knows. I track using and app and thermometer. No tests. Good luck everyone!

@Kalecat Oh I'm sorry. That is so disappointing I'm keeping my fingers crossed that AF doesn't appear.

Can I hop on the bus? Month one ttc our second. Sadly not sure I've actually ovulated but I find it hard not to hold out some hope that I just missed it!

I did have some other symptoms - CM and a lovely breakout. Anyone had ovulation without a positive OPK or am I being super naive !? 😂

@RMarieClaire I don't think I'm ovulating since coming off contraception. I was wondering about getting some Agnus Castus to help but need to do some research.

@zippityzip I have some of that. I'm terrible for forgetting to take it but think I'll set an alarm to be more consistent. Last time it took me 6 months to ovulate after coming off the implant and it was emotionally draining!

@RMarieClaire I did start another thread but had no responses yet. I want to get some, but read that some people had awful experiences on it and it totally messed up their cycle. Same for soy isoflavones. I just want something to kick start ovulation! If all my OPKs are negative again this month then I may try. Has it helped you at all? (when you remember to take it!)

Morning ladies! AF due Wednesday and i cant wait to test, although woken up with a horrible gut feeling it isnt going to be this month! Dont know if ive just talked myself down to avoid disappointment ?! How are you al feeling. Xx

@samantha06 I'm due to test on Sunday and I'm reading too much into every possible symptom. They're probably all normal parts of my cycle and I'm just hyper aware of my body so I'm noticing them for the first time. I'm only 6dpo so it'd be very unlikely to have any symptoms yet! Remember you're still in with a chance (whatever your gut feeling says) until AF arrives 😊. Best of luck to you xx

@zippityzip what was the title of your thread? I’m currently taking Agnus castus. This is my second cycle of taking it and it has defiantly helped me with ovulation and long cycles. It also took me 20months after coming off the pill before my periods returned.

It's Agnus Castus experiences please!

Christ 20 months, I'll go mad if I have to wait that long for my cycles to return. I've had a withdrawal bleed and a proper period since. I should be heading into my fertile week and I've not had any joy with OPKs at all. If nothing at all this cycle I think I'll get ordering online.

AF has arrived!! No baby for me this month, but i will stay on the july bus as next AF due 25th july😁 good luck to everyone else!!🤩

@samantha06 sorry to hear that AF has arrived but glad you're staying positive! xx

So my delivery of inositol and Agnus Castus has arrived.
Inositol pills are huge 😐

I'll let you know how I get on! Heading into my FW now.

Wishing baby dust to everyone!

Sorry to hear about the AFs. Mine's due on Saturday and I have suspicious crampy feelings, so expecting to be out this month. I guess I shouldn't be too disappointed as it's only cycle 3 and it took us 7 cycles with DS! What cycle is everyone on?

[quote Crash1d]@samantha06 yes! So strange I'm the same. I'm 9DPO currently. Planning to test on the 1st of July. When are you testing ?[/quote]
Did you test today? Just logged on to see if you got your bfp!😊
