Let's face it May 2012 is full of bank holidays leading up to an extra day off thanks to the Queen. We are all bound to get updiffed and miss the time off -(where we should be in the pub) looking after our new babies.

A bus for those who find it difficult to remember new names. Ting ting - no getting off untilk a BFP.

Starting the stats Bleats (31) TTC#1 af due 31st Aug ish

I am also a bus jumper from another may one... This one is a lovely place to be Grin haha

Clandy · 10/08/2011 12:32

Oooh hello to all joining the bus, gonna need a double decker at this rate rather than a minibus Smile nice to have you all aboard.

crystaltea36 · 10/08/2011 11:51

Hi everyone, I'm new! Came off the pill 3 months ago, periods a bit irregular so not sure on it all yet but AF has just arrived today so feeling down as thought I'd tried on the right dates last month and tried quite a lot!
My stats are crystaltea36 (27) ttc #1 AF came today :-(
Am considering buying the clearblue monitor thingy but not sure?

minipie · 10/08/2011 11:44

Ooh, a bus jumper Grin welcome Harryan

I'm not ovulating for aaaages - boring! - though just as well since DH has to go away for a bit.

Harryan · 10/08/2011 11:39

Hello all!! I was on another May bus but this one seems to ooze with positive vibes so could I please have a ticket transfer??? Grin

This is my first time on a ttc thread so please be gentle with me. ;)
This will be baby #3 and my AF should be due 25th Aug.
Came off the pill end of June and have had a normal AF end of July :)

Should be ovulating this week (as we speak infact) so have been jumping DH as soon as he's through the door from work everyday.
However, Since Sunday I have had the worst nausea and sickness ever, plus lots of AF type cramping down below!! Confused
Could be getting my hopes up too much but I know I'm not feeling right!

Only problem is, I have to wait nearly 2 weeks til I can test!! [Hmm]

My stats Are Harryan(30) ttc #3 AF due 25th Aug

So my stats are (if I can get this right!) am86 TTC#1 af due sometime around 20th.

waves to everyone

Clandy · 09/08/2011 21:19

Aww thank you bleats and spuddy for your thoughts Smile. People have it far worse worse than me tho and by the sounds of it he is rather excited to be in on the action (and prob being let of dtd for a while Grin) seems a lot quieter (or less reporting) tonight so fingers crossed for everyone that some calm is restored ad everyone stays safe! Cant imagine what it is like to be living in it Sad so will think of myself as very lucky!

Bleats · 09/08/2011 21:06

Oh Clandy I am so sorry Sad both for the delay and also for him, but it looks as if their are mini riots up your way so he will be home soon. So glad that the night appears to be carmer - at least compared to last. A very tense atmosphere in the Capital.

180 I am a north London girl in the yummy mummy suburb next to Wood Green. The probs in BG and Lewisham seemed to be less than Clapham and Croydon - or at least have recieved less attention.

Morningcoffee I hope you have ignored the coffee and properly PJed today.

Right one last period day and on it tomorrow. I will owe DP as off to the ballet tomorrow Grin.

Spuddybean · 09/08/2011 18:52

Hey all. Central London all very scary. Police everywhere (sorry about that clandy). But i think they are trying to get rid of all the nice people (everyone was finishing work between 1-4pm) so they can lay the smack down on the agent provocateurs (not the good ones doing a sterling job; selling sexy knickers that give us inspiration to dtd).

clandy My DP is ex military (in the reserves now) so i feel your pain.

Clandy · 09/08/2011 18:31

Also hello to all that joined yesterday!!

Clandy · 09/08/2011 18:30

Hello hope everyone is staying safe... These riots have totally buggered up my ttc supposed to be around the right time for some baby making and oh has been sent down to London (is a cop) Sad been at it like rabbits despite not being time and now I need him he is miles away (I am a northerner!!) typical!!

Any way enough about me how is everybody else today...? Smile

MorningCoffee · 09/08/2011 12:07

Hey all, hope everyone is staying safe with what is going on Sad

Well duty has started and am hopinh this is the month ha ha.

I have the flu at the moment, really struggled last night with my breathing, stinking cold and cough and just wanted to cry, kept me awake most of the night, dp decided to role over in the bed about midnight & say "I wish you would stop bloody sniffing" Hmm if i bloody could of i would of, to say i was annoyed is an understatment i could have cried cause i just could not breath properly, he has phoned and apologised this morning Smile

So we are having a pj day today, the kids have been soo good, dd loves to mother me when i am ill bless her heart.

Byrnsie30 · 09/08/2011 09:44

Hey all,

Hope those of you near riots are OK and staying safe.

On the ttc front it seems a lot of us are in a low way at the moment. Hope you are feeling calmer crazy and spuddy. It is a very stressful and emotional time. Although I have settled down and reluctantly accepted AF since Saturday, I still feel on the edge of another crying fit.

A friend has just had a baby and I can't quite face going to visit this week- pathetic eh?! Sad

Sorry to hear about your mc bridgie - you are not alone though! And well done for picking yourself back up! Grin

As for outfits spuddy, think I might join you. DH will need a little variation if we're going to dtd every other day! Blush

So glad I've got you guys to whinge to. A couple of close friends know I'm ttc, but it's not the same as chatting to those who are in the middle of it all x

180 · 09/08/2011 08:17

Morning all. Crazy am still in same boat as you.. String of BFNs and no AF. CD33 today and got bfn from FR yesterday. Bleats are you near BG? We are and everything was shut up and boarded last night!

Imustbecrazy26 · 09/08/2011 07:59

Thanks everyone am feeling ok now but still no af even though I have had period pains on and off over last few days?

MyCatLikesToHideInBoxes · 08/08/2011 22:01

Evening all, welcome minipie and bridgie

I've just worked out that if this is "the month" I'd be on for a birthday(ish) baby... that would be such a fantastic birthday present to myself. OK, I'm chomping at the bit now - better start preparing Mr MyCat for some serious every other day action!

Hi all - can I have a ticket for this bus? I'm hoping I'm not here under false pretenses...

I spent 2 cycles on the March bus (waves at Pipbin)got BFP but sadly had MC,so now waiting for AF and then hoping I will get BFP in time to be a May girl - hope that makes sense!

Sorry and pleased to see some familiar names,IYSWIM, and FX for everyone this time!!

Adding myself if that's ok Smile

Hello Minipie jump on board.

Sorry to hear that crazy : (

Clandy I am happily chomping on your cake. However too much and we may end up turning into slightly plump bunnies more suited to a pie.

Cats I grew up with lots of rescue moggies and miss them. This kiddy idea isn't a kitty substitute.

Hiding indoors until the riots blow over.

Clandy · 08/08/2011 20:07

Aww sorry to hear so many are having a bad time at the minute! I can't exactly speak from experience so have no wonderful words of wisdom to offer I am afraid. Although in an attempt to lighten the mood.. I have been baking a yummy chocolate cake (and will offer it round with mugs of tea) and as I am new to ttc I have just learnt about ewcm and can now never look at an egg again in the same way (I had a right good feel to see what it should feel like Blush)

Hope everyone is feeling much more positive soon!!

Oh n spuddy, Ann summers do bunny girls or type in bunny girl fancy dress in google if your not feeling so confident loads of results Grin

Spuddybean · 08/08/2011 18:43

By the way does anyone know where to get a bunny girl outfit? DP is making sexy grumblings about them so i think i owe him that after my ridiculous behaviour tonight.

Better to be a bunny girl than a bunny boiler!!

Spuddybean · 08/08/2011 18:38

poor you crazy, hopes getting up is the cruelest part. i hate the week before AF. Poor DP has been working away (was supposed to be back yesterday but had to work an extra day) and he just got back after a horrible long flight and he is tired. Instead of being nice to him i started a row about something silly and he suggested we 'call it a day' :(

We sorted it out and both apologised and had a cuddle but this stress is making it really hard. i hate the maniac i have become!

we both got our hopes up this month :(

MyCatLikesToHideInBoxes · 08/08/2011 18:29

Oh crazy, so sorry Sad - I know it must be hard when you'd got your hopes up but we're all here for you with cyber hugs and a large Wine.

Imustbecrazy26 · 08/08/2011 18:10

Well i just got a bfn and had some more pink stuff but feel very afish now so think af will be here by the moring am feeling down about it right at this minute Sad
