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!

@FinnsMammy lol I tried my best, it’s tricky in this heat though! That’s such a shame you had the chemical and the mc back to back, I’m so sorry. I fell pregnant quick last time (with the mc) it was only 2/3 months and I have actually never tested early 😂 I didn’t really know it was a thing until all my mn reading after the mc to be honest, obviously I knew you can test early with some tests but weirdly I just didn’t think about it. I think I might just wait until the day AF is due, although I might be tempted this time lol xx

Cherryblossom21 · 22/07/2021 19:59

@Cheekymonkey3112 I hope it goes quickly for you, although the if your anything like me it won’t 😂 I’m impatient! that’s a good plan though with the cb, I’m keeping everything crossed for you. I’m good, ovulation day today for me - to be honest I’m just happy that everything seems to have gone back to normal after the mc. I was worrying about my cycles taking longer to return to normal but it just seems to have gone straight back to what it was before so that’s all positive 😊 xx

Lealu · 22/07/2021 20:00

@Twinkles18
Sadly it was a stark white bfn 😭
On to the august bus it is…
I’ll be on holiday when I next ovulate so hopefully the reduction in stress levels will help and august will be our month. How are you feeling? That’s early for the nausea to kick in, hope it doesn’t last too long for you.

Lealu · 22/07/2021 20:04

@JemRose wow that is impressive, you guys have got stamina! 🤣

Lealu · 22/07/2021 20:07

@Cheekymonkey3112
Where I am you can ask for an early scan if you’ve had past miscarriages, including mmc. So definitely worth asking for that. And be honest about feeling anxious too. That’s a good idea to take another clear blue test to reassure yourself also. I hope the wait speeds up for you once it all starts to feel more real ⭐️

Twinkles18 · 22/07/2021 20:09

@Cheekymonkey3112 me too 😂 im 4+4 so going to try get a wee scan at about 7 weeks or so? 🙈 are you getting a private one too?xx

Twinkles18 · 22/07/2021 20:12

@Lealu ah no, sorry it was a bfn. Onwards and upwards, next month will hopefully be yours and yes going on holiday will definitely relax you 💕
Feel great now, only get the odd wave of nausea..just mostly tiredness so I can't complain 😊 good excise for a midday nap haha xx

WantStickyBean · 22/07/2021 20:25

@JemRose @Cherryblossom21 I think today's ovulation day for me too! DTD last night and the night before, going to try for tonight as well but I don't think DH is keen.

I'm a bit surprised TBH, was expecting ovulation CD14-16 instead it looks like it was CD12/13. Just when I thought I'd got the hang of my cycle Confused.

Cherryblossom21 · 22/07/2021 20:40

@WantStickyBean aww that’s nice we can all be in the tww together! You will just need to convince him 😂 my peak was yesterday so assuming I maybe ovulated today possibly. I’m CD12 today, but usually have an average 26 day cycle so suppose that’s seems fine. Are your cycles irregular? Xx

Capricorn8990 · 22/07/2021 20:47

@mummytoolive why do we do it to ourselves haha?! Xx

Cheekymonkey3112 · 22/07/2021 21:00

@Cherryblossom21 yip, I'm impatient and need everything done yesterday 🤣🤣 so it will be a loooong slog!! So glad your cycle has went back to normal, as if having a MC isn't bad enough and your cycle gets messed up too. Good luck DTD in this heat 🥵

@lealu thanks hun 🥰 I'm hoping it starts to go quickly too. Just need to keep myself busy. I had an early scan with my DS after recurrent MC but because I've had him and then now preg again I didn't think they would accept me for an NHS one. I might phone and chance my luck, although last time it wasn't until 8 weeks so I'd already booked in a private one for 6 weeks. I'm only 12 dpo/3w5d so ages to wait!! 😢

@Twinkles18 aw so you are about 6days ahead of me. Is that going from your ovulation date or last period? I'm 12dpo/3w5d but according to my last period I'd be 4w6d but not wanting to book a scan according to my LMP or I'll not see a thing. I'm gonna book it around 6.5 wks. P.s. I noticed you said wee, are you from Scotland.. if you are, me too!! X

Twinkles18 · 22/07/2021 21:32

@Cheekymonkey3112 iv got mixed up and a day ahead of myself lol. According to last period date I'm 4+3 14 dpo so only 2 days ahead of you😊 Natural Cycles app has calculated a false LMP date as 2 weeks before my ovulation which would make it 4weeks on the button.
Hahaha I don't even realise I typed that, I'm from Belfast so close enough I suppose 😂😂 xx

Carolinesturn · 22/07/2021 21:36

I think I might be out this month, just dtd and suddenly the v minor spotting was more of a thing, definitely not full on AF but more than a few drops... sigh.
This next cycle I will take my vitamins and try preseed for the first time, I don't seem to get much ewcm just watery stuff
@Cheekymonkey3112 I have everything crossed for you in the coming weeks though I'm sure you won't need it.

Cheekymonkey3112 · 22/07/2021 21:50

@Twinkles18 haha!! Everyday is dragging in thats why 😢 haha. I'm thinking about booking a scan for the 8th of Aug, I'll be 6w1d according to when opk and bbt said ovulation occurred 😬🤞 maybe thats too early. The next date would be the 10th ahhhh!! I don't know 😢😢 I'm getting ahead of myself. Ahh 🤣🤣 I always wonder if there's anyone I know IRL on these threads 🤣

@Carolinesturn aw no 😢😢 hopefully it isn't. I'm in denial for you until it is fully confirmed with a full AF 🤞🤞
Thank you 🥰 I really, really appreciate it.
This is such a fab thread with such lovely people. I honestly wish every single one of us a quick TTC and happy and healthy 9 months with a take home baby 😢❤

Countingchicks · 22/07/2021 22:03

@Carolinesturn this was our first month using preseed. Just used it as a lube rather than shoving a load up. Also stayed lying down for at least half an hour after DTD to ensure the swimmers had time to travel. Got our BFP this month!

Itsjustme20 · 22/07/2021 22:17

@Countingchicks Your last comment was really interesting! We’ve just had some of the conceive plus lubricant delivered (I’m assuming it’s similar to pressed!) and will be using it next cycle (currently in the TWW but 99% certain I’m not getting a BFP this month!). Also only lie down for 5 mins after DTD so might stay lying down longer 😂 Thank you! X

DeviousImp17 · 22/07/2021 22:21

So I’m CD11 and have a constant smiley on the Clearblue ovulation test. I’m surprised!

Does that mean I ovulate in the next couple of days? It’s my first constant smiley and my easy@home OPK also shows positive (afternoon test) today. So BD as much as possible for the next two days? Then what day is ovulation day….? This is my second child and I honestly don’t remember any of this. 😂

Cheekymonkey3112 · 22/07/2021 22:31

@DeviousImp17 I think you ovulate 12-48h after the peak on an opk. So yeah DTD as much as you feel you can is good. Keep testing on the cheapies to see when it starts getting lighter. Xx

Cheekymonkey3112 · 22/07/2021 22:31

@Countingchicks how far along are you💕

DeviousImp17 · 22/07/2021 23:10

I’m realising why it can take longer to have the second child. I’m exhausted from working and dealing with a 3 year old and now I must DTD too. 😫😂 I just want a nap.

JemRose · 22/07/2021 23:22

@TtcNumb3r @Cherryblossom21 ooohhh TWW buddies good luck to us!!! How many months TTC are you guys? I'm a year, 1 MMC at 14 weeks, 1chemical pregnancy. Quite the ride! Still got my hopes up for this month :) who knows!

WantStickyBean · 22/07/2021 23:23

@Cherryblossom21 I've got a really regular 26 day cycle. But last couple of months I've got peak OPK on CD13, last cycle my temps didn't rise until CD17 so this just feels early. Will be interesting to see if this is a 25 day cycle instead.

The last couple of months we've done BD on a lot of consecutive days until CD13ish then ran out of steam. So we deliberately held off doing too much in the first part of my cycle and typically now I've ovulated earlier.

Nervousdave · 22/07/2021 23:32

@cheekymonkey3112 I havent used contraception (other than condoms) since November 2018, before DC1. Been having regular cycles since last July, with one extended one after my first Pfizer.

@ttcnumb3r hmmm I have stopped snacking and tried to stick to a lower number of calories in an effort to lose weight, nothing drastic though!

Countingchicks · 23/07/2021 03:49

@Cheekymonkey3112 I'm 5+3

Cheekymonkey3112 · 23/07/2021 07:34

@Countingchicks I'm 3+6/13dpo .. how are you passing these days😢?
