Not added anyone that I don’t have dates for but I’ve not forgotten you just let me know when you know you ovulate/ know your test dates ☺️

@watermelonwizard I should really keep a list of everyone so I remember these little facts we have all shared! Have you planned anything for your 'would be wedding day?' I live in Shropshire now so really hoping we can head back to Wales this weekend and celebrate it with my family 🤞 ease down lockdown now please Wales!
yep last month of TTC, we have decided if its unsuccessful that we are going to have an epic skiing holiday over christmas and new years- so I have something to plan and obses over🙈

@Juno231 i also read that staying high means you could also be pregnant! i'm not worried about any of it my worry's have left the building a long time ago. whatever is going to happen needs to hurry up😂 i would rather it wasn't ovulation to be honest 😂

@Mrsi2020 😍 that was super lucky! and a great idea to have a big party!

@blodyn91 ooo i love shropshire. i once dated/ now very good friends with someone who lived in whitchurch!

Hi all, please may I join you on your bus? I am on cycle 1 TTC #1.

Bit of background info - I unexpectedly fell pregnant while I had the Mirena coil in back in February. Unfortunately, a scan in March revealed that I had a missed MC and because of lockdown the EPU advised that I wait to miscarry naturally.

The coil has now been removed and after some issues for a couple months, I finally got a BFN on HPTs and a blood test confirmed HCG levels of

@Sydgal22 Biggest congratulations to you!!! 🎉

@Catherinettc I’m so sorry to hear what you’re going through. I couldn’t even imagine 💔 sending love to you and your family x

@Minster2012 I have everything crossed those smilies won’t be mocking you this month!!!

Aww thank you @Mrsi2020! Yours is too! So glad you got to have your wedding, and the day before my bday too 😉 how exciting that you have the big wedding to look forward to too!
Welcome @SweetDreams92 and best of luck! Sorry to hear about your MMC.

Place marking

OMG I didn't see the venga bus had moved on and I was like WHERE IS EVERYONE!! Loving all the rings & non rings ladies

Men put a ring on it

Don't worry I'm herrrrreeeee now!!
God my nails look the worse of anyone's 😂🤪

Congratulations @Sydgal22!!! Wow 18 bfps!!! Sone bus!
Welcome @SweetDreams92 sorry to hear about your loss. Hope you getbyour bfp soon. Do where are you at in your cycle?

@lucyrp I was going to say the same! I've heard that if you keep getting highs on those that it can mean you might be pregnant! & its just soooo weird that you've not come on yet🤨 have you taken a test over the wknd? I don't want to get your hopes up but I'm still wondering if you are pregnant & it's just that your hcg takes ages like you said before🤔

Congratulations to all the bfp, I finally got a positive on my opk so now 2dpo will be testing around the 27th if no AF as she is due around then too, love seeing all the engagement rings after 5 yrs together dh brought my engagement ring whilst on holiday in the Dominican spur of the moment decision, I somewhat ruined the proposal by refusing to take a walk down the beach as I didn't want to get sandy feet 😂 so he ended up proposing by the pool instead was still beautiful! We then ironically got married 5yrs later on a beach in zante which was amazing!

@Katao & @notyetamumbuttrying thank you for the welcome 😊

I'm not 100% sure where I am in my cycle but my ovulation test strip has gotten quite dark today compared to yesterday's so I'm hoping that continues and I ovulate in the next few days or so.

Being realistic that it may not happen quickly for me but hoping for BFPs soon for us all! x

Congratulations @mrsi2020 and @sydgal22!

@catherinettc I'm so sorry you're going through this right now. Hope you all get the help and support you need, how has he been today? Sending hugs x

@lucyrp yea I was thinking that too.. Have you taken another test again just to rule out that possibility? AF not showing is strange if you're used to pretty regular cycles? You could just have very low levels of hcg and a later line?

@SweetDreams92 opks look well on the way! Good luck catching that egg 😃

@blodyn91 ski holiday sounds amazing! But I do hope you get your BFP!! Fingers crossed you get to see your family. Hope the next announcement on Friday eases up restrictions a bit more.

I'm very lucky that the castle I talked about for our wedding venue is actually my OHs family's , they have a farm and the castle is literally in their back garden , surrounded by the most amazing views over the marshes. So yeah he grew up with a castle casually in his back garden . They're not super rich or posh, just sheep farmers that happen to have a castle on their land! Sooo we are going to get a takeaway from our fave pub and have drinks there with a load of family, we are lucky they live pretty close to us. We are about 5 miles from the farm. It's going to be a bittersweet day! What about you?! I remember you saying you have a new dress . I'm def gonna order one this week!

@SweetDreams92 that looks borderline peak to me! If it goes fainter tomorrow I would assume peak was today by that line :)

@Egg2020 I'm envious of your destination wedding! Especially as I had a torrential downpour aaaaalll day on my summer wedding lol! We had to move our reception indoors and all the pics have umbrellas in them. My wedding dress weighed about 20lbs more I swear from having soaked up dirty London rain water... btw you and I have very similar wedding bands!

@SweetDreams92 looks like you are about to ovulate! 🙌

I had my first experience of weeing in a yogurt pot today, OPK came back as low with hardly a line, but sort of expected. Just wanted to test early incase I ovulate early- still quite exciting! (done whilst listening in on a webinar with work 😂😂)

@Chlo2701 yeah i thought i'd heard someone say that on here and i also googled it and it says if it stays high you could be pregnant... no i haven't tested since friday i haven't got any tests in the house. i have some cheap IC pregnancy tests arriving this friday so i might just wait until then to see if anything's happened by then rather than spending money on more expensive tests. my body is very lazy if it does take this long for HCG to show up 😂🙈

@Maybe333 yeah it is odd that nothings happened yet. i'm hoping that is the case honestly but not holding out too much hope. now it's happened i genuinely am not worried what happens. it's been a week and now i'm like whatever is going to happen is going to happen but whatever it is i wish it would hurry up 🤣

@watermelonwizard that sounds amazing!! Is it open for the public or totally private?
If we go back to Wales will hopefully order in pizza from my friend that was going to be catering our wedding. Will be in my new dress all day on the farm, rain or shine 😂 if we have to stay here we can't decide what to do.....😬😬 maybe have OH family over but our house and garden isn't really that big, so possibly go somewhere for a picnic (🤞 for nice weather)

@katao @juno231 thanks ladies! Fingers crossed we do catch it. It's funny explaining to my husband that we need to aim to have sex on certain days - I think he thought you can just do it anytime in the month and get pregnant when in reality there is a very small window of opportunity!

@blodyn91 I love how you tested while being on a work webinar! 😆

@watermelonwizard @blodyn91 love the sound of your would be wedding days! We're organising a bbq for ours in August and I keep having visions of being pregnant and being able to announce it then 😍 I hope my vision comes true!! 🤞🏼

Hi girls!

Thank you for the new thread @SmileyT 😘 how's the cup going?

Sorry haven't had a chance to catch up since last night, but feeling sad today. My friends just told me she's pregnant, she told me they were thinking of trying after I said we'd stopped trying to not get pregnant. She's already a few weeks along now. Trying super hard to be happy but it definitely hasn't helped me on this grey rainy day 😔

Sorry for the self indulgent post! Will catch up properly after work, just needed to vent x

Would I be able to join the very lucky and supportive venga bus? I have been a lurker as it's been a bit too early to join anything and be able to contribute to convo (recently had implant out so didn't know any dates).
I am on CD 10 and this is my first could be fertile day according to natural cycles.
I am 30, DH also 30, we live in London.
AF due 6 July.
Cycle 1
I think our tactic is going to DTD every day (here's to a fun week!)

Also attach a pic of my ring which I gave lots of hints for but he picked.
Good luck to everyone waiting/ testing/ trying!
