Come one, come all: hop onboard the penis dragon bus and hold on tight for your BFP in April! PART 2!!

checking in on the new bus.

The thing I love about these buses is that everyone is welcome and feels that it is a safe and supportive environment to vent, cry, laugh and support. I hope that doesn't change.

so on a needing support kick - I just ate 2, yes 2, twirls. someone give me a slap please!!!

ps kitty - just noticed that we are the same age

Hi kitty, please don't be sorry! Had it, I'm now almost 15 weeks! Scan was all good thanks, one healthy baby inside and now from the slowest 12 weeks ever time is flying by! Due end sept.
Love to lurk these buses though and cheer you all on from the sidelines! Hope you're ok kitty good luck with this cycle xx

Hi sazzle- how are things!? Sorry for not knowing, but is your 12 week scan coming up or have you had it?

Victoria I understand your vent, I got upduffed after 14 months and some months wanted to scream at the people complaining after 2 cycles...but I never did because the nice thing about these buses is that it welcomes everyone, including those very lucky instadiffers! However if you need a pick me up, tips, penis dragons for gawds sake then this bus is so supportive and fun I wouldn't have been anywhere else when I needed to feel better about it all.
However there is a 10 month plus support board and another group if you'd rather be with everyone in a more similar boat as you.
Good luck with it all!

Hello everyone else! Just popping in to see if ive missed any bfps. Come in you old timers...I'm rooting for you! Xx

I'm sorry you feel so bad at the moment victoria and I was probably one of those people making you feel upset as I have only been TTC 5 cycles. However, I am also 33 and by your reasoning, I could be venting at those who are still in their 20s TTC. But I am not. The month buses are there to support everyone and for that reason, there are other threads to cater for specific needs. I like to think we welcome everyone (thinking of the Feb/BESH incident). Please feel free to tell us your worries and upsets and we will support you. But please don't tell us we can't.

Oh my MrsB you have won me over with that carrot cake, mmmmmmm, I'll gladly take the seat next to you... I have choc chip cookies and a double mars bar if you'd care to share?

linda I think there's a spare seat next to me at the back
and I have Costco Carrot cake please sit with me and share the calories

Don't worry MrBsMrs, we all know that no offence was meant. We all have our own battles to deal with.
I'm glad I've been able to share mine with you lot, it helps being able to talk freely. So rant when you feel like it, we're hear to support each other

"Waves"

Hello! Are there any seats free? If not I'll stand at the front near the driver, because I'm nearing the end of my 2ww and may be hopping off in a couple of days. Who knows which bus i'll be getting on next....Probably just the May bus though...

ttc #2 (have a DS aged 18 months). This is only my 3rd cycle since stopping pill, I've had a long then a short cycle so far, so I don't know exactly when I'm due but I'm on cd28 today! I suspect this is a slightly longer cycle though, as I think I ovulated round about cd16. I've got the pregnancy tests in my top drawer in case AF hasn't arrived by Sunday (day 31)- determined not to poas before then.

Trying not to symptom spot. I've got senstive boobs and feeling a bit bloated and tired but that could just as likely be AF on her way.

And while I'm here - I'd like to tell you all about my success with Morrisons Brand Cough mixture.

If I'd known it would do what it did I would have been on it a long time ago. It gave me the sniffles - but my-o-my did the guaifenesin live up to expectations. Hope it works again this cycle

That message was also a "bump"

Came back to many messages that may have been a result of something I said earlier. I mean no offence to anyone at any stage in their journey - and I don't mean to be insensitive. 5 cycles is a drop in the ocean in comparison to some journeys - but again, 5 is like a lifetime to others. I'll be more aware of how I express my feelings - but please know the last thing I want to do is cause offence

Peace offering

Arghhhhh the spotting has started so I'm out I'll hang around if you don't mind? Not ready to get off the bus yet...

Kurama last time it took us 2 years to get a successful pg. I'm hoping it takes a little less time so anything that helps is a help I just stand over him with 3 pills and a glass of water and don't leave his side until I know they've been swallowed. He knows I'm a Control freak, fortunately he's so laid back it just washes over him with a giggle. Although I'm not even in my fertile window and dh just said what's in those tablets as we've dtd every night for 3 nts. He thinks I'm pushing Viagra now! His libido is usually fairly minimal but improved I'd say! Hooray!!!!

It's 11pm, Zermatt is already in bed reading her kindle and surreptitiously checking mumsnet on the sly), her DH is in the bathroom brushing his teeth...should they dtd again or not YOU decide.

(Said in the Big Brother voice)

thanks ladies - they are the trying to conceive ones but figure I probably am lacking to some vitamins - although I do eat grape nuts for breakfast which are a great source of folic acid

i have pregnacare, i think its just to bring vitamin levels up to the right amout. ha mrsE my dh sighs and sulks at me when i remind him to take his. hes only been on them a few weeks. and im sure hes missed half of them!

cth, I've been using them for 6+ months... No idea if they're actually doing anything. Not sure they're designed to actively improve chances of conception, more to encourage reproductive health. Dh has been using them for about 4 months

Cth is that the pregnacare, his and hers version. We've just started taking those this month. Nothing to report so far, except dh laughing at me as I'm pill pushing him!

dont worry victoria i had a full on rant at dh over txt this morning as i found out a workmate who was brought in to act as my replacement (so to speak, she would have taken over my hours) if i got pregnant has just found out shes pregnant...... im extremely happy for her but it kinda felt like a kick in the stomach as we have been trying for about 2 years and have now had to move on to fertility treatment. time.....

hey ladies,

bit of advice needed this afternoon -have bought the vitabiotics conception capsuals - anybody else used/using them? Any major positivr effects?

Oh my god I've just watched this weeks OBEM! Been a while since I've cried like this, what an amazing couple

Hope things get easier for you victoria

awww victoria dont feel bad everyone has bad days...

I get angry with people sometimes but often they have no idea what your going through but the same that we dont know what they have been through.

I only started finding it hard after about 6 months and then when it got to a year i was petrified but its really helped joining mn.

If you ever need a chat feel free to message me

Victoria, don't apologise for something that YOU are feeling. Everyone here has the right to rant. I do totally get where you're coming from though. Think sometimes everyone needs a reality check but it doesn't stop those feelings of worry. We all know the statistics, we know it can take up to a year, sometimes 2. But when you want is sooo bad, each month that passes feels like time is slipping away.
I think most peoples issues stem from seeing other people seemingly getting upduffed at the mere sight of a penis! But behind all the facebook updates, scan pics, friends pg announcments etc is a story.

I'm on cycle 8... or 9, with a mc under my belt, 3 friends due around my original edd and for a while I really resented them. But that doesn't help me. I know there are others who've had a tougher struggle and others who fall easily. But thats not my fate. I'm kind of accepting of the fact that when I do get my bfp it'll be all the more special because of my journey.
But for now I want to enjoy my life, I have good health and a lovely dh and I need to remember to be thankful for that. I have a close friend who at 27 faced cancer, she's alive and healthy now but is unable to have children. Yet she never moans. My worries pale in comparison.

I wish ALL of you, health and happiness and a BIG FAT POSITIVE soon
