March Bus - the journeys may be different but destination for all - BFP land!

mrsb my oh has to do a chocolate run more often than I care to mention.

babs I am losing weight (despite the above to mrsb!) No reason to stop ttc as long as you do it in a healthy, sensible way. Go for it.

mumof1 6 months, with one mmc. I'll see what happens and chat to the doc. If not, I may have a look at the cost of private bloods. Probably extremely expensive though

I am wishing for bfps for other people (looking at you purds) more than I am wishing for my own

Hi all!! Had my wee sneaky nephews over today so not been on. They are crazy! Ha. Just to say hope everyone is ok I haven't been able to read back yet but really hope everyone having a good day will Catch up later

*been

How long have you been trying mrsb? Some drs won't do a blood test until you've bee trying for 6 months

Night, do you know why it happens? Cx

Just sent DH out to get some chocolate and . It wont fix anything, but I can stuff my face with chocolate and just chill.out a bit.

Should I get the spotting checked do.you think? I had it last time too. Maybe an idea to get some bloods done.

My friend is trying for another DC and having issues, so.it's been great to chat with her.

Night, sounds like if you do it tonight & tomorrow you will definitely have all bases covered. I hope it's your month.

Sorry to those feeling down.

Purdey, several of my friends have had babies way into their 40s. I don't think it makes much difference to having them in your 30s tbh.

Hope everyone enjoyed the sunshine today... Spring is finally here Who's testing in the morning??

Purdey, does the alcohol craving worry you? Do you have a way to cope with that? Feel free to not answer if it's something you'd rather not talk about.

sammy that happens to me most cycles, is v annoying!

Babs, yay for house move and being able to swim again. Good luck with the weight loss, you can do it

Thanks for all the luvverly commiserations girls! Bfp's to everyone immediately! Boycott AFs now! Lochia not menorrhoea! oh dear stop me now!
I'm going to take a seat at the very back of the gin terrace and just close my eyes for a bit.

Hi everyone, been in London for the day hence no posts.. But hope you've all had a good day?

Af seems to have come back which is odd as yesterday it was practically gone and now have bright red blood again, so not old blood. Weird. Xx

Mrsb, sorry you're feeling down. That brown spotting for days is sure to make you fed up. Hope af arrives soon and you can crack on with next cycle

Purdey, you're having a tough time lately. Sorry you cancelled the christening but you have to take care of you. Pleased your friend was so understanding, she sounds like a good friend.

Where's Sparkly today? I haven't noticed her around.

Grr am pissed off at work and stuck on stupid tablet. Can't even moan as am too googleable

Any who purds one of my bosses was 38 and 40 when she had hers and runs around after them no bother!

Babs I too need to lose weight but am pretty shit at it. But TTC and lose weight, don't put it on hold!

Hey mrsb. Totally understand. Met my best friend yesterday (over in ireland). Hadn't seen her since my wedding. She was my bridesmaid and had a huge 8 month bump then. Met her little boy for first time yesterday, he's 4 months and soooo cute. Spent rest of day trying not to cry cause I am so broody. It's hard when you want something badly and your hormones are also lending a hand!
You sound like you have had a rough time. You'll get your little bundle

Thanks babs I'll be ok, just one of those days! Working in a medical environment at the moment,and also a relative had a FB preg announcement.
Spent the last 10 years desperately trying to avoid a bfp, now I just want another one - one that sticks.

Purdey. You do know you are super don't you?

Purdey, thanks for the advice. Sounds like a plan. I'm going to get back to running (was doing great before wedding in Oct). Also, moving house soon. So going back to swimming before work (used to do this before I changed jobs), as will have cut out hour and a half commute at either end of day! Woo, excited!

Not sure it's the best time to downsize to a one bed flat, but sure we'll cope for a year or two!

Mrsb. Hope you are ok. Vent all you want if it helps.

Babs, I lost two stones in rehab in eight months. This is how I did it: ran twice a week (we were only allowed out three times a week ) and went spinning once a week. Diet: because I had money from being an alkie on benefits and nothing to spend it on whilst in rehab I largely lived on M&S Fuller For Longer meals (except breakfast which was a three-egg omelette with a sprinkling of cheese ). I had zero chocolate, cake or biscuits and my 'treat' every night was three liquorice & blackcurrant boiled sweets with chewy-as-fuck centres (105 calories exactly). Obviously I had no alcohol. I lost exactly two pounds per week every week and seeing that on the scales every Monday was enormously gratifying.

There is no need to quit TTC because the safest and most foolproof way to lose weight will only enhance your chances of conceiving. Thanks for your opinion on age You, too, lovely Wotsits.

Hi ladies. Have been reading, but just lurking. Feel like I'm having a big wobble. CD32, plenty of bfns, and have had brown spotting for 3 days now. I think I'm about 14 dpo. Just feel shit as I should be 20 weeks pregnant now, but am impatiently awaiting AF so we can crack on with ttc. Poor DH is walking on eggshells as I'm an emotional wreck.

Sorry, just needed to vent. We all have our own struggles,and I wish we all just knew when we'd get our bfp.

Right, I seem to have repeated myself various times on this page. Explanation: I wrote a post whilst at mum's but decided to go home halfway through. However, it seems I posted it I have then returned home and written what I wanted to say at mum's, thereby repeating myself like a prize dick.

AbFab what an utterly horse shit cycle you're having. Please come back and tell us what the fertility specialist plans to do for you. It's so unfair to not be ovulating but it is so easily remedied for the vast majority of women.

I would apologise for being a bit sweary tonight but I can't see it abating whilst I'm in this mood. Do forgive.

Kissing, I love that you love being a SAHM. I am one hundred per cent positive that I would feel the same joy if only a) I had even a fiver in my purse (or bank account) b) I had a car c) I hadn't been entirely usurped by my husband who has taken over childcare, shopping and basically everything you would define parenting as, leaving me redundant and feeling inadequate as fuck.

I have contacted my friend telling her I will not be attending the Christening of her daughter tomorrow. I was honest and told her about my depression (she already knew as 'you have been withdrawing from all of us and are very quiet on facebook' ) and the scratchy zits and the Usurpation By Husband and the craving for alcohol, despite having been sober for four years, five months and twenty-five days. She was so lovely and understanding
