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!

Silly question whats the beige square that comes up on posts, I just posted a hand (as in to wave) then the square has come up on my post above??

YummyMummyXoX · 01/07/2021 13:49

@Willow1982

Hi Willow I think I ovulate late too as I've been having longer cycles. See what July brings for us hey x

Nai86 · 01/07/2021 13:54

@Willow1982 still join us 🤗 just downloaded flo... got my basal thermometer being dropped off by the Amazon delivery man a bit later 😂 and I'll be tracking temps too... has anyone found the flo app accurate in terms of ovulation days? I'm still getting my head round things I'll be honest. But we can support one another

Fiep · 01/07/2021 15:05

@RosettaTheGardenFairy wait a minute how does that work? Does LH rise in pregnancy or what?

@YummyMummyXoX welcome! Did you have the copper or mirena? My periods have been SUPER light and also irregular since removing my copper coil in April.

RosettaTheGardenFairy · 01/07/2021 15:45

@Fiep - The cheap OPKs can't tell the difference between LH and hCG in urine so they can start showing faint lines around the time a pregnancy test goes positive. I found out I was pregnant last time with an OPK that way. A pregnancy test will show positive first, but if like me you`ve got a big batch of throw away OPKs, they're fun to test with Smile

Fiep · 01/07/2021 15:59

@RosettaTheGardenFairy like the Easy@Homes?

OP posts:
Fiep · 01/07/2021 16:06

I’m still confused. Don’t ovulation sticks always show a faint second line? It just gets much darker when LH surges?

@Countingchicks

1dpo here, anyone want to join me in this TWW?
I ovulated today so only a day behind you! Would love some company in the TWW, the last few months I've symptom spotted & tested like mad but I'm going to try and hold out for as long as possible this time around!
AlmostLondoner · 01/07/2021 16:39

@feelsnew thank you! I hope so too! 🙏

@Fiep

It was the copper one. Had it removed on my last period so this is my 2nd cycle trying. Periods were lighter on it and shorter so I had no complaints there x

JemRose · 01/07/2021 16:56

@Nai86 @Sweetpeasandpeonies @Willow1982 Cycle day 4 for me but I'm super irregular so will defo be behind you guys in a couple of weeks! Last OV day was day 23.

Nai86 · 01/07/2021 17:04

@JemRose we must have been close in June then too! @YummyMummyXoX @Sweetpeasandpeonies @Willow1982 are any of you familiar with basal temp tracking? I'm going to start tomorrow morning (if it's arrived by the time I get home) xx

somersault · 01/07/2021 17:20

Hope I can jump on the bus too! First cycle TTC with DH, would be first baby. Have been tracking cycle with ovulation tests for a month or two. Feeling super excited, reminding myself it's a marathon not a sprint. Welcome to everyone, fingers crossed to all of us for July.

JemRose · 01/07/2021 17:21

@Nai86 bbt tracking is THE BEST honestly, it's changed the game so much, now I now exactly when I'm ovulating from the temp rising and I know I'm not pregnant the day before AF shows because my temp drops back down.

Countingchicks · 01/07/2021 17:26

@Freddief woo! I managed to avoid testing last month and decided to wait until AF was late so I wouldn't waste a FRER as they're expensive. AF was a day early! Not sure how long I'll hold out this time. Tried a bit of a SMEP this cycle but with a bit more BD thrown in early on for fun 🙈

Sweetpeasandpeonies · 01/07/2021 17:51

Just starting basal temp tracking this month. Up until now been just seeing how things go but have been tracking my cycle on an app for a long time before TTC but feel I want a bit more insight now!!

Nai86 · 01/07/2021 18:04

@Sweetpeasandpeonies @jemrose I've bought a Bluetooth one apparently it transfers all the info over to the app. I've got some pro's then when it comes to reading my temperature log 😂

Willow1982 · 01/07/2021 18:05

@YummyMummyXoX ah so we may we’ll be in the TWW together then!!xx
@Nai86 @JemRose @Sweetpeasandpeonies
i havnt done temps before, I use the clear blue monitor and the clear blue digital sticks that give the smiley faces, I think I get on with those best, and with the help from ladies on here I now know testing in the afternoon is best, I have the Ovia app, that gives me a rough guide on when to expect things, honestly TTC is a whole new world, I never knew so much before coming on here!!! Might give temping a go though, couldn’t hurt! xx

YummyMummyXoX · 01/07/2021 18:16

@Nai86 I'm
Not familiar with the whole bbt... with my son I had one period after coming off the pill then never had another as I fell pregnant, was BD'ing maybe twice a week. So I was hoping if I tried to chill out like I did then it would happen sooner rather than later. So much easier said than done though isn't it! Plus that was 9 years ago I was a lot younger. I wouldn't even know where to start with temping and ovulation sticks. I think it sounds interesting to have all the info though. I was told temping isn't accurate if you have a long/irregular cycle....

@Willow1982 I think we may very well be in the TWW together it's good to have people to check in with through it x

dunkedbiscuit · 01/07/2021 18:34

Hi guys, checking in - sorry took a while to find you!
@Gummybear17 @Missy95 we have a July bus x

Nai86 · 01/07/2021 18:54

@YummyMummyXoX @Sweetpeasandpeonies @Willow1982 @JemRose Isn't it strange that we'll never meet but we're sharing the most exciting journey together 😂

Quick one for you all do you all have a show of cervical mucus? Because I don't and I'm a bit worried about it 😕 x

Missy95 · 01/07/2021 19:04

Hi all! Joining another bus! hopefully it will bring a bit of luck.

Tomorrow is what would have been my due date (we had a very difficult first pregnancy which unfortunately ended in January at 16 weeks due to a very rare condition). Tested early today hoping for the best to try make tomorrow the tiniest bit easier. Im not due until at least next Tuesday, so of course it was negative! But trying not to dwell. Time will tell!

I hope we are all doing ok and keeping positive as much as we can ❤️

@Nai86 I agree how strange is it lol. I had cm more so with my coil in but since it's been out I had ewcm on cd23, 24 and 36... which was confusing x

JemRose · 01/07/2021 19:22

@Nai86 literally never had it.

Twochews78 · 01/07/2021 19:27

@WantStickyBean you’re still not out and I think it’s a good sign that you have high temperatures now! xx
