The July 2021 bus has arrived 1 day and 1 night early but you don't need a FRER to detect it! Just hop on. Grin

Let's hope for lots of positive vibes & lines and if the lines stay away, you'll at least find 24/7 shoulders to cry on! Glitterball Brew

No tickets required, just bring some pee in a cup and you're in! Wink

Hope I've tagged all the passengers but if you're not tagged - hop on anyway!

@Nai86 I so resonate with how your feeling. It's so so shit and feels so unfair that some women get pregnant instantly with no problems! Just know you are NOT alone. Its really normal for it to take up to a year even if you're tracking your cycle and doing everything right! And although this journey can be aweful, maybe particularly for those of us who are TTC for our first babies and have never had the privilege of holding one of our own in our arms. But the stats do show that eventually, even if it does need a bit of help, we WILL get our babies! And they'll be so loved, and we'll feel so lucky every day. All of this has to be for something, and even though none of us needed to learn these lessons, and none of us deserved this heartache, I have to keep believing that one day it will all make sense. I have everything crossed for you this month! And I feel like age, whilst a factor, isn't necessarily something to get hung up on. My good friend just had her 20 week scan for her first baby age 36, conceived pretty much instantly. I'm 28 and have been trying for a year with 2 losses. I think this journey is so individual, age doesn't necessarily mean easier/harder. But I do understand your fears. Xxx

mummytoolive · 30/06/2021 18:30

Ah thanks everyone it really means a lot I really wish I'd found this support during my 2years TTC my DD.

So after feeling nothing but rotten when I woke up I did a cross fit session and walked my 4 legged baby for some mindfulness and now I'm back with my head in the game 💪🏼
Does anyone have any advice on things I can add to my diet and lifestyle that would help regulate my cycle even if it's just an old wives tale I'll take it 😂 I know raspberry tea is good during pregnancy and labour so I wondered if it had the same type of benefit to us when TTC.

@Capricorn8990 were in this together girl 💕 also the psychic sounds interesting

@Nai86 it's not over until the lady in red arrives 😘

@AlmostLondoner sending lots of love to you, let us know how the acupuncture goes

AlmostLondoner · 30/06/2021 18:33

@mummytoolive thank you ❤️ will definitely let you know!

Twochews78 · 30/06/2021 18:41

@AlmostLondoner my god you’ve been through the mill! I hope you all feel better. Sorry you’ve gone through so much! xx

Capricorn8990 · 30/06/2021 18:44

@AlmostLondoner oh gosh you've really been through it 😞!! I hope the acupuncture helps - have you had it before? Xx

Capricorn8990 · 30/06/2021 18:44

@mummytoolive definitely 💕🥰!! It was amazing, she's a really good one (I believe in those type of things) but always been spot on xx

AlmostLondoner · 30/06/2021 19:03

@Twochews78
@Capricorn8990

Thank you ❤️ It's been challenging but it could've been worse.

Never had accupuncture before but really hoping for some good results 🙏🙏🤞 I go there with my granny, just after one session she felt much better and was able to sleep through the night 🤞

Pixiescat11 · 30/06/2021 20:02

Thank you for the tag, wishing us all lots of luck for July ✨✨

Nai86 · 30/06/2021 20:16

@JemRose your words are so sweet and comforting ❤ I've been reading about spiritual manifestation as your words about mindset just basically said to me "get your head together and be positive" I've also just booked a 3 sessions of fertility acupuncture. Never been for acupuncture before let alone fertility based. I'm pulling out all the stops.

@mummytoolive there's still a bit of hope for me then but I'm definitely feeling the period symptoms right now. Praying she doesn't show

@AlmostLondoner so sorry to read everything you've been through, ❤ I too have just booked 3 sessions of acupuncture. Never had it befor although have read good things about it, fingers crossed for you

Fiep · 30/06/2021 20:37

I just wanted to put this video here to encourage people about being able to fall pregnant when older.

It's an encouraging look at the data away from the scaremongering.

@fiep thank you 😊

Well everyone, weirdly.... AF has arrived 3 days early so I'm completely out for June although I thought I was 15 DPO 🤷🏽‍♀️ how does that even work .... However, I guess CD1 has started for me and I've we'll and truly boarded the July TTC bus 🤗

Abigiggle · 30/06/2021 20:57

Hi all. I hope you don't mind in I join in? I came off of the pill about six months ago but my cycle has just started coming back.

I am 29 years old.
I am on CD25 and 6DPO (I think as it was only a very faint line).

Already itching to know ! X

Freddief · 30/06/2021 21:25

Hi everyone! Is it ok if I jump on the bus too?!
TTC baby no. 1, have been trying since Feb 2021.. the last month I’ve started using Clear Blue ovulation sticks, on CD21 and still no ‘peak’ smiley face! I’m driving myself crazy!

DeNovo · 30/06/2021 21:33

Hi all, jumping on if that’s ok?
I’m 32, 6DPO, currently in the TWW and it’s our first month TTC! It’s so nerve wracking! Good luck everyone! 🤞🏻

Heidi6824 · 30/06/2021 21:49

I've just realised I can finally join in these posts Smile

I am 30, 31 this month.
TTC #1
Af is due 10th/12th July and we will be starting after that.

Came off the pill in March and since then have had shorter cycles (23-25 days). But so excited to finally begin!

Anonymouss864 · 30/06/2021 23:18

Does anyone know if I should continue testing lh surge on cheapies? I read somewhere that suggested it but wasn’t sure if I should or why? I suppose to track how long you surge for??

NannyPear · 30/06/2021 23:57

Jumping on! First cycle after my period finally came back 26 months PP after DC2 who I'm still breastfeeding. Had a positive opk on Sunday so I must be I'm 2/3dpo. God the TWW is a tough slog.
@Purplewotsit I had HG with DC2 and swore at the time I'd never do this again and here I am! Fingers crossed neither of us ever have to relive that.

Sweetpeasandpeonies · 01/07/2021 06:47

Hi ,
Do you mind if I join?
I’m (very nearly) 29 and TTC #1 ,
Just starting cycle 3 and trying opk this month for the first time

Abigiggle · 01/07/2021 06:58

I think this is for when you are first learning about your body, I think if you get a positive then it's a positive.
Abigiggle · 01/07/2021 06:59

We are at the same point in our cycle ! Good luck x
AlmostLondoner · 01/07/2021 07:35

@Nai86 thank you ❤️ I hope it helps you! I'd rather try it before asking doctors for help🤞

Nai86 · 01/07/2021 07:40

@AlmostLondoner have you had it before? I don't even know how it's meant to help you concieve to be honest. I got it into my head last night that my AF may actually be an implantation bleed as it was so light. But AF is back with full vengeance... CD2 for me now. I'm going to have my first session soon as I'm off. We'll get there 💫💫💫 x

Th197 · 01/07/2021 07:46

Hey 👋 hope it's OK if I hop on. Currently on cycle day 23, 6dpo and af due 9 of July. Nice to talk to people who are at the same point in their cycle 🥰

Fiep · 01/07/2021 07:48

@Abigiggle @DeNovo same as me! 7dpo today. When are you planning to test? I’m really going to try to avoid testing early this cycle as it just upsets me. You?

WantStickyBean · 01/07/2021 08:46

Disheartened this morning that I might be basically out this month already. All my other signs (CM, OPKs) said I ovulated on CD14. Based on my BBT, FF says CD16 and DH was ill on CD15/16 so we didn't BD.

Anyone good at temping fancy giving me an opinion on this chart? The first few days of the cycle I had just had my second COVID jab and my toddler's nursery cold so they're all over the place.

Toot toot, it's the July 2021 TTC Bus arriving early
