The May Bus

[digitalgirl]

I'm feeling positive about this next cycle. Due rtd tomorrow.

If it's as long as the one I'm just finishing I'll be due sometime in early May so thought I'd do the honours and polish down the bus, stack it full of champagne and nibbles and start the engine!

Who's with me?

Evening ladies

well i could deffo do ER if i dared wanted to waste 8 quid.

Expecting af any day now but secretly checking boobies all thetime lol

anyway sore one minute not the next, blue veins one minute not the next what the effin hell are they trying to do to me!!

Hate the wait

congrats sloathy and go wombat! am gunning for you... will personally come over and paint the line darker if need be... need more success stories..

confession time. have poas for the past 7 days straight. every morning. all bfn. tonight i was tempted to check as well. i thought i felt a twinge in my breast but it was probably just DC hanging off my nipple wanting some (just stopped BF... at 21 months... on advice of consultant)

ok. vented. feel better.

Would it be horridly naughty of me to crack open a bottle of prinpo's bubbles while on TWW, sounds delish and much more exciting than the diet lemonade on offer at mine

The silly symptom spotting is in full force tonight... have an itchy nipple LOL don't even know if that's a symptom to spot!

final test

Ive been very bad tonight and have half (unfortunatly just half) glass of wine to go with the rapidly diminishing kettle chips. Feel knackered and cold so hope I'm not coming down with anything.

Another 10days before POAS but know my impatirnce will barely last till nxt thurs.

Figured if I have vino theres more chance of being pregnant and then feeling guilty !

Hey ladies don't beat yourselves up for a little glass of something cold on 2ww, I think the stress of worrying about it has got to be worse for any bean growing than anything. I hope I haven't given you my bug fled, and that an early night and a glass of wine sorts it out.

Welcome on board prinpo I'll have a couple of profiteroles please

hey guys

been a tough month here, i got offered a place on a degree that i never thought i would.. 2 days after my fertile period.

been figuring out what to do really. im going to go for it, worst comes to the worst i'll drop out and restart next year.

mind you way things are going, tummy ache and neg poas...

ive never ttc whilst bfing before, so i think thats affecting me as im one of the lucky buggers that conceive from one night (dd!) and its hit me quite hard.

AF has arrived so I'm off the bus, had a prang in my car too, so I'm too depressed to update the list, sorry all.

Morning all!
Welcome back onto the bus Prinpo, sorry you've had to come on board but good to see you nonetheless.

Commiserations Princess but here's hoping you graduate from the May bus yet!

Meanwhile, back at casa zinnia, am getting dangerously addicted to FF. She has acknowledged my ov now so have to start obsessively noting every possible proto-symptom even at 3dpo. Apparently. Well it should help to while away the time, even though she's going to be sorely disappointed if she thinks I'm going to wait another fifteen days before poas, assuming AF doesn't get me first!

She also seems to think I'm set for a 30 day cycle, which would be longest ever. Hah. What does she know anyway?

Morning all. Hello Prinpo I know it's only 10am but I'd love some black forest gateau please!!

Princess sorry to hear about AF and car prang - hope you get it all sorted out and weren't too shaken by it.

Am trying not to stress here but failing miserably! Line stil vv faint (more so than yesterday) so am fretting about the possibility its a CP. Am trying to reassure myself that every woman/pg is different and some women don't get even a faint line until several days after AF is due, but that doesn't stop obsessive pant checking . I think it's particularly bad because ordinarily I'd be expecting AF to show up any day now and my current symptoms are so like AF symptoms it's impossible to know. I'm willing the little bean to produce enough hormones to keep AF away!!

wombat have you tried looking at www.peeonastick.com? they have pics of different tests and that might help you work out if yours is a TWP or just an evap line...

Good luck, really hope it's the former.

Thanks Zinnia, it's def a TWP and not an evap line, but what worries me is that today's test doesn't seem to be any darker, and actually is more faint, than yesterday's, so I'm worried it's not sticking. Only time will tell - I know that - but still keep obsessing :)

Fingers are very much crossed for you wombat, I can't begin to imagine how frustrating it is!

hi hope everyone is well
i'd like 2 join please,
can someone add me to the list please,
mamaof1wantno2now ttc#2 cycle 2many, ucl28-32, cd16,
thank you

I am beginning to think that this month is going to be a BFN month. It is my first month of TTC however so I'm not complaining.

It has been so confusing though. I had sore boobs from just a few days after ovulation onwards so was convinced I was PG. I POAS a couple of times way too early (got BFNs) and then resolved that I would wait until AF was late to do it again.

Then the BB soreness kind of disappeared so my excitement died down a bit. But around that time I got loads of (sorry TMI) whiteish discharge and googled it to find that this too could be an early sign of pregnancy.

Then last night in the bath, I noticed whopping big blue veins in my boobs that I had never seen before. Called DH in to give his expert opinion and he said he wasn't sure if they were normally there or not...

So after that, I began to hope again that this might be the month. But now AF is due in 2 days and I woke up this morning to find that I have broken out in spots, which is usually the only pre-AF sign I get. So hope has promptly died again.

It is quite a rollercoaster. If AF does arrive, I am determined to chill out on the next cycle of TTC as this symptom spotting will have been a bit of a waste of time. Actually according to my calculations if AF does arrive on schedule on Saturday, I'll be able to stay on the May bus as my EDD if I get PG next cycle will be the end of May. So I'm in it for the long haul...

lateatwork that is one heck of a pee stick addiction! Hope you get your BFP ....

wombat hang in there, willing that bean on for your too!

lola actually sound quite hopeful to me - think spots are possibly a preg symptom too? All hormone connected.

Over here I am on CD16, managed 5 SWI so far, got a +ve OPK last night and night before, so might carry on with the daily deed until Friday. Sooooo annoying this morning I misplaced my BBT thermometer, had to get up and hunt high and low and eventually found it where it should have been all along and I just missed it coz I was half asleep, so by then there was no point measuing temp as would be so off - damn it! Was hoping it would show me a thermal shift.

Hi ladies, can I join please? Now entering my 6th cycle TTC but feeling positive this cycle (no idea why!) Look forward to chatting to you... I have added my stats :)

Sloathy BFP - 17 Aug

Hello Girls! Hope you don't mind a bit of a rant....

Haven't been on MN in a while and have been suffering from withdrawel.

DP has been working long hours haven't really been doing the deed. I get it, he works hard, he's tired, so not a problem. Did manage to summon the energy to go out with his BF on thurs night, work mates Fri and Sat night and then BF again on Sun. Still no complaints from me. He works hard only fair he gets his down time, untill Monday..... He comes home, I put DD to bed and then he says "Babe go and take your knickers off and we'll have some sex" Me " Meh!" Eventually moans at me (in a playful way) until I submit I go to the bedroom where it turns out his earlier request is exactly what he had in mind - I mean literally pants off, have sex. So I tell him in a bit of a moody way that if quick relief is what he's after I'll give him some privacy... DP didn't care for that and sulked for the rest of the evening. Following night we do the deed after he apologised for being a bit insensative and not making an effort. Don't get me wrong I don't expect candles and romance - its not really my style- but something a little more than "Pants off!" would be nice or AIBU??

He's just left for work but not before kissing me with a "will you just hurry up and get pregnant already" cue me glaring at him to the front door. Yes dear because it is just down to me this conception malarky. Your wishful thinking is more than enough, consider your part over my love. Grrrrr men.

Shouldn't complain really cause he's quite smashing really

Rant over, sorry

fatheadsgirl: YANBU
Without knowing your DP at all, of course, am fairly aghast at all that. Especially since you've had a pretty tough time of it with this TTC business.

He's normally quite lovely honestly, just having man moment I think. And we try to be quite light-hearted about everything - just so it doesn't become too unbearable (sp?) Still I think it only fair that I be allowed to have my woman moment and complain

FHGirl YANBU. Thank god for MN or we'd have no where to rant and maintain calm in RL. Seems like perhaps you should turn the tables on him. Leave a post-it with "Pants Off" on the counter when you need him to get with the program.

Just a couple more days of wallowing in wine for me until I co-opt DH into SWI for 7 days straight. I was thinking of going the pretend to feel frisky route this month instead of the now is a good time route. Any ideas for that from the ladies on the bus?

OverThePond A "Pants Off" post it not might do the trick

I'm so bored I'm eating my second strawberry cheesecake, they are individual ones but still....
