FHG sits at back of bus and enjoys the rose she's been avoiding 'just incase'

my cousin is in labour

i'm tired and feeling grumpy. does anyone else have little paddy's? i wait til i'm alone and then stamp my feet and shout about how it's not fair.....that's it my turn to be PG.

i'm off to bed.....

Morning,

Is anyone close to testing yet? I can't wait for the BFP's from this bus to start rolling in.

Queenrollo I had a little stomp about last night because I was thinking how unfair TTC is. My friend told me yesterday that she is 10 weeks pregnant. Of course I was very happy for her but I also wanted to cry because I was jealous. And then I felt bad for feeling jealous. It's a very strange set of emotions.

I think I'm 5 dpo. How long after ovulation does implantation occur? I have no symptoms or signs but it would be too early now wouldn't it so there is still hope.

Good luck to everyone who is testing, 2WWing or SWIing today!

Hiya, Can I hop on and join you all please?

First timer here, so hope I do this right.

Is it worth putting our ages on that too????

I'm sure we didnt get a baby again this month, I dont have any symptoms at all, so not getting my hopes up again like I usually do.

Good luck to everyone waiting to test this month. Lets have lots of good news to spur us all on!

Hey eveyrone - sorry i've not posted for AGES but everytime I came and caught up with all the messages there was even more of them and then i wouldn't have time to post!! Nothing exciting to note here - I'll be testing at the weekend... AF is due next tues.... Don't 'feel' pregnant though...

BFP's
suedehead 6th Sept
Lizzyy 9th Sept
GoodVibrations 14th Sept

HI everyone. Surely we are due some BFPs on here soon - I hope so.

Just found out another friend is pregnant - I feel like everyone I know is either pregnant or recently had one. I am pleased for them but obviously jealous too.

However I am definitely ovulating today (first time I have ever had a really clear second line on a OPK) so will keep on SWIing and keep my fingers crossed for this month. Going to be another long month though - looking like another 40 day cycle. Feel I might be on this bus for a long time!

I don't mind discussing ages Green eyes. I am nearly 34. Birthday soon - so being pregnant would be a lovely pressie!!

Hi Greeneyes Welcome aboard, I'm 25. Actually I turned 25 on Friday just gone.

I have flu and feel completely shite
Also have had a few cramps yesterday (implantation???????????) and have had very tender nipples for the past few days.... probably not helped by the fact that I poke them ALOT! Am also extremely irritable, poor DP

Hi greeneyes and welcome aboard, I am just 34 (feeling 50)

Just dropping in to let you all know I had a really positive appointment at my GP surgery tonight. I went to see a GP who I don't usually see, but who specialises in fertility issues, and she listened to all I had to say and has got the ball rolling, without comments about my weight (I'm BMI30 and struggle to shift it due to PCOS). I'm booking in to have my bloods taken throughout my cycle (first appt Monday for day 21 bloods), she's prescribed me some slow-release Metformin to see if that can help me increase my dose, and she said that once they've interpreted a cycle's worth of blood results they will book me in to see a consultant and to scan my ovaries to see if there are any cysts at the moment. Feel really good for taking some positive action! Hurray!

Welcome greeneyes. I'm 31 as you asked.

Here's what's left of my rant after a 5 mile run hoping to burn some steam--I'm now exhausted and sweaty, but not less cranky. I'm really sick of going to baby showers and having to buy bottles and blankets and books for other people's darling bundles of baby. I'm most especially sick of hearing what a knack I have for picking out "just the right book" because "of course, you were a nanny" (f*&%@ing 10 years ago). I realize that I'm the one who has been diligently taking my birth control for 7 blissful years of marriage, but that's because I know precisely what I'm trying so hard to get myself into...

Rant closed. Thanks for listening.

Sometimes I just want to buy a really twattish useless baby gift like a wipe warmer, or something really embarrassing like an inflatable donut to ease the pain of hemmorrhoids whilst trapped in a chair breast feeding...

To all of you, of course, I wish nothing but BFPs and well-selected books that won't drive you absolutely bonkers on the 127th read through.

That's great news, 8rubberduckies. It's fantastic when you get a dr who moves things forward rather than just talking about "seeing how it goes" (although of course this is essential sometimes, there's a time for talk and a time for action ).

Day... what is it now? 6 for me. A long way to go. BTW what does SW stand for? Will you make me guess? G'ahn! Give me a "sounds like"...

I come from an age of old-school Mumsnet talk, including BD (baby dancing); (((((hugs))))) without the apology that often accompanies them these days, and AF instead of period. I never did like BD and AF but I didn't see much wrong with the ((hugs)), yes it's twee but heart in the right place type thing.

Overthepond, here's an idea. I got given aa gift of an outfit in a 18-24 months size for my newborn baby. "I thought, you're bound to already have loads of 1-3 and 3-6 month clothes!!" You're sat there with a 7lb newborn baby thinking "Not my teeny tiny bitty bundle of joy. Nah. It'll never be possible that they'll be big enough to fit those". It's an uneasy feeling whilst at the same time being grateful for the gift, it reminds you that one day you will have one of those lumbering snotty nosed toddlers rather than the dainty bundle in your arms

Then of course you have to store the (to your just-given-birth eyes) ginormous great big dungarees until the appropriate time, so they hang around in the nursery getting in the way for a looong time before eventually coming in handy....

(just trying to cheer you up!)

Glad to hear you had a great GPs appointment 8rubberduckies! It helps so much when you have a sympathetic GP who actually listens to what you say and goes the extra mile to help you.

fatheadsgirl sorry to hear you have the flu. Happy belated birthday for last Friday though!

Welcome greeneyes! As for age, I'm 35.

Just when I thought I'd shaking off this flu bug it's come back with a vengence and is settling into my chest. Not good since I've had two bouts of pleurisy in the past two years so I'm susceptible to chronic chest infections. I'm worried about taking any cold/flu meds as I don't want to harm any potential baby I might be carrying.

Oh girlsworld I like that . No idea what SW is, but SWI is Sex With Intent.

8rubberduckies So glad your gp is on the ball. I switched mine out a few years ago as I gave her a good hard look and figured she couldn't handle my DH in a delivery room. Glad I did as it makes all the difference trusting the person with the drugs (or soothing music if that's your thing - personally I've not formed an opinion on that one yet cart before horse and all).

Hi greeneyes. I'm 27. I think .

I'm also now on the 2WW and feeling pleased with myself for finally, finally getting the timing of the poking-with-intent right. I am in fact so smug about getting the maths right that DH thinks it is hilarious. :)

I shall now twiddle my thumbs until 3 October-ish...

Hi all, gd news on the GP 8rubberduckies
Well im still spotting but i did a PG test last night and this morning.Im not actually due on til Saturday at least but i got BFPs on both, very faint but def there.
Im very nervous as never had implantation bleed before but did bleed at 7ish weeks and 12wks in last pg.Have also bled when i had ectopic, so im keeping em crossed that its a sticky and actually in the right place.
Please dont put me on graduates though til after the wkend(it may end up as a chemical)
Blimey i sound negative

girlsworld I always SWI was Shagging With Intent

and FWIW I'm 34

I did a naughty early pregnancy test this morning (7 days before AF due) and obviously no line.... doesn't mean anything though - except that I've got no will power (and 50 ebay pregnancy tests to use up!!)

Hi everyone, thanks for your lovely welcome! I think I'm the oldest! [cries]

I'm symptom spotting like a loon at the moment - I have slightly sore boobs today so starting to obsess. Period is due on or around 28th, although have had a 26 day and 31 day cycle randomly before.

I dont do testing anymore as I can't bear the disappointment, so will just wait and see what happens.

SWI every night for 10 days so we must have done well with the timing - hopeful

Hey ravenlocks thank you for the sympathy and advice! Unfortunately I don't have the rest of the 2ww to wait as AF has come about 5 days early. I was hoping it was implantation bleeding but I think I am being a bit too hopefull there as it is heavier than spotting but not quite as heavy as my usual AF. Based on it being heavier than spotting I think it is most likely to be AF don't you?

Although I haven't got the cramping I usually have I've just got a dull ache.... Oh I don't know!!!! I just want to do big fat crying and hide in my bed today! Instead I have the busiest work day ever and every sodding PG person in the building keeps walking past my desk!!! Urgh!!!!!!! bangs head on keyboard and sobs

Oh and welcome Greeneyes I'm 27! I'm sure you will find the ladies on this bus as fabulous as I do. And I am very impressed with the SWi every night for 10 days.... I satrt to flag after the 3 rd consecutive night of SWI!!! lol!

TOTALLY :o that's brilliant - sending you lots of stickiness!!

hello greeneyes I'm 34.

good news for you too rubberduckies glad the NHS is listening for a change!

I'm in shag-week. I ov'd on day 10/11 last month- wasn't ready for that! It won't catch me unprepared this time

Greeneyes how old are you? im 40 and you obviously have much more energy than DH and I as we managed it twice this month( which for us is pretty good)as he was actually in the same country as me for a change
Thanks Milanomum,im torn between wanting to rush around screeching with excitment and complete panic

Since we are sharing, I'm 31.

Well done totally, hope to hear over the weekend that your line is stonger and you feel ready to graduate!

serendipity sorry AF got you, but not suprised you are unsure about it as v early when looking at your UCL. Not sure what implantation bleeding is like - never actually had it. Fingers crossed for ya.

Looking forward to hearing news at the weekend - FHG, queen, knitter looking at you!

Congrats totallyfloaty fingers crossed for you!

greeneyes Hi! I'm 26, but birthday is in a few weeks so getting pregnant would be a nice surprise!!

Only a few days until SWI! We're going to try for 5 out of 7 days this time (probably TMI)... but very impressed with everyone who SWI more than once a day!!

Wow - great news totally - fingers crossed for you. Serendipity - sorry to hear about AF, but you never know, could be implantation bleeding, though I actually have no idea about what that is like at all I am afraid.

I too am very impressed with the amount of SWI going on - if it were just down to effort and timing we should all be successful this month.

WE are still just in the SWIing phase before the 2ww. I should find out the weekend before my birthday - so either great or crap timing, depending on the result! Poor DH is finding shagging on demand rather stressful and will be glad of rest I think (perhaps TMI!) Funny isn't it - I would never share info like that with even my closest friends in RL.

Quick strawpoll - another wedding this weekend - to drink, or not to drink during the 2ww? My inclination is to drink but just a little so not too obvious and so I can enjoy myself. What do people think?

at those whose ages start with a 2....

On the drinking thing jigglebum, if it was me I would say drink a little - 1-3 drinks or so and enjoy. I read on the oh so reliable t'internet that am embryo doesn't actually hook into your bloodstream until about 21 DPO.

Clearly don't want to give you bad advice and am in no way a medical pro. That's just what I would do.

jigglebum I'd have one or two just so it's not obvious and yu can avoid the knowing gazes and nosey questions.
totally Keeping everything crossed for you, sending you sticky thoughts.
milano Enjoy shag-week
starflower Thanks for the birthday wishes, I had a really nice day. DP took me to see We Will Rock You and it was fantastic. I'm avoiding any cold/flu meds too just incase, although....
knitter I too did an EPT this morning and got nothing too. Drat! Still you never know...>>tweaks nipple....yup, still tender
