victoria sorry about teh results. Hope you won't need to wait long for the ivf - best of luck!
Good to have you back MrsB - are you poasing? duchesse are you still in the game too? Good luck all!

I'm 3dpo according to my app, still ages to go until poas time... I was a bit disappointed my temps seemed too low post-ov, but remembered last month didn't rise substantially until after 4dpo, so trying to wait patiently. Have been very bloaty and gassy though, with stabby pains - surely too early for any symptoms? Is it 7dpo one would normally expect implantation?

victoria I am so sorry to read your post.
I hope your turn at ivf comes soon. Take care of yourself Thanks

TinyPawz · 22/05/2014 21:12

Definitely not this month. Was all picture and no sound here during ovulation.

Freckles79 · 22/05/2014 20:54

Good news no??

TinyPawz · 22/05/2014 20:41

AF was due today so I could start next cycle and get back on the horse so to speak, but the aul witch is nowhere to be seen. No sore norks, no cramps, no headaches, nowt, nada, niente. Where the eff is she??!!

EnglishGirlsReturned · 22/05/2014 20:41

Sorry to hear your news Victoria. I hope you get to the top of the ivf list soon and they're able to have things sorted for you. Lots of love and luck coming your way

MrsExtraOrdinary · 22/05/2014 20:32

I'm so sorry victoria, I wish you well on your journey. Thanks

lindamagoo · 22/05/2014 20:12

So so sorry Victoria, I wish you all the best for the future and hope IVF works for you both Thanks

fancyacupoftea · 22/05/2014 20:08

So sorry to hear your news and see you leave Victoria. I wish you all the luck with IVF xx

KittyVonCatsington · 22/05/2014 20:03

Glad the latest scans look ok linda and english !

Just had two bottles of beer. Feel a little light headed -my tolerance has completely gone since cutting down TTC Grin

Plan on doing what I call 'cleaning the pipes' DTD later Wink

Oh Victoria I'm really sorry to hear that. Life is just unfair sometimes. I hope you have some people around you to support you as you come to terms with the news.

Fingerscrossed36 · 22/05/2014 19:44

Sending big hugs Victoria xx

victoria401 · 22/05/2014 19:01

Got my dh's sa print out today. It was a lot worse that we initially thought. He has antisperm antibodies. So I'm definitely out without getting af. Its very unlikely we will conceive without ivf so I'm leaving the buses. Good luck ladies I'm off to drown my sorrows..... :-(

EnglishGirlsReturned · 22/05/2014 17:58

Hi MrsB! Thank you! It was about time my body played ball! Glad you're in a better, more relaxed place, it's definitely better for your sanity! Fx for you!!

I had my early scan today... Not as reassuring as I'd hoped but equally not bad either. They saw a sac measuring 4-5 weeks so not as far along as I'd thought. I've got another scan booked for 3 weeks to give it plenty of time to grow. Obviously I'm scared stiff but google has thrown loads of positive stories at me and I'm clinging onto that!

Hope you lovely ladies get your BFPs soon!!

lindamagoo · 22/05/2014 17:20

Glad you are doing good MrsB and glad you are in a good place with the ttc, it can get a bit much when you stress about it. I'll keep my fingers crossed that we see your BFP very soon, this has been a lucky bus so far. I'm still in shock at my BFP but it's real, had a scan on Monday to check the little bean as I was spotting and having a lot of pain but all is good for now Smile

KittyVonCatsington · 22/05/2014 17:18

Yippee for Mrsh fab line there my lovely Grin Ta for the stats too, I am always happy when a late ovulator gets success-lots of hope for me!

Welcome back MrsB-how have you been?

I am so so sorry that Retro and SoMuch don't have what I have come to call pregnancy bliss where you don't have the automatic fear of losing your bean. I remember the first BFP I had and how I daydreamed about due dates and the future etc. Now, if I get (no, when I get!) a BFP, I'm not sure I'll be able to relax and enjoy being pregnant. I sincerely wish for both of you to have health and happy pregnancies, but I understand how you must be feeling. Brew and Cake coming your way Grin

Hey linda, I am lovely. In a good place with the whole ttc thing right now. Not worrying so much. How are you? I cant believe I missed all the announcements. There are so many BFPs on this bus. Its lovely to see.

Looking at the stats, I bizarrely saw that my bfp was due on the 20th i must have given those stats while I was drunk Its actually supposed to be due today and I am cramping slightly so we'll see.

and english is back in the UK!!!!!

Taking a break from MM and coming back to all the bfps has to be the highlight of my day does that sound sad?

sammyj85 · 22/05/2014 16:30

Congratulations mrshjb!

lindamagoo · 22/05/2014 16:25

Hey MrsB how are you?

MrBsMrsB · 22/05/2014 16:01

Hi Ladies,

I have been away for far too long..... far too long. It took me ages to find teh new bus too. Any-ways - skimming through all the posts and came across the roll call and would like to say congrats to all the ladies with the BFPs.

English, toots & linda when I saw your names I almost teared up. I am so happy for you al.

RetroHippy · 22/05/2014 13:46

Completely understand your caution. I think it's so hard to relax if you have any reason to doubt.

I'm unsure about telling people, my mum I know will be supportive whatever, but mil is I think heading back into depression and I'm not sure she's well enough. I know she worried constantly with sils pregnancy.

I have a hen weekend to go to in less than two months, so I won't be 12 weeks yet. It's old friends who will know as soon as I hit the soft drinks, so I'm going to have to come clean before I go. I also don't want to steal the hen's thunder on the day by announcing while I'm there.

I might see if I can borrow my friends Doppler (is that the right thing?) to see if I can hear a heartbeat before I go. Or see if we can stump up to go private for an early scan.

SoMuchFruit · 22/05/2014 13:37

retro I had a MC at 6+4 in December last year and it has left me very nervous of being v excited/too keen this time. I am almost past that point now but think I wont be relaxed until after 12wks. I know you can MC after that but the chances are less so in my head that is the first goal to reach before I feel 'excited'properly. Silly but its how I feel.

Think will maybe feel better after my early scan too.

gennibugs · 22/05/2014 13:34

mrsh thanks for the stats , I love reading obsessing over them ha ha

blueberry glad AF has shown up, well not glad but you know what I mean, hopefully you aren't in limbo anymore.

spinning that's the kind of thing my DH would say too. He always asks me to warm him when AF is due so he can stay out my way.

good luck for this month spotti I think staying busy is definitely the key to staying sane!

xBlueberry88x · 22/05/2014 13:21

Afternoon ladies

I think I am finally out on day 36 longest cycle ever

bleeding a bit but not as much as normal on first day of AF but im counting it anyway off to June bus.

FX for everyone left
