Hop on board the April bus 2012!

Hi all!

I've just fell off the March bus last night and feeling Sad. There is another bus for April but I didn't see any familiar names on it and I know a few old friends fell off the March bus so I thought I'd start my own bus (first one I've really started!)

So I'm handing round the Wine and Biscuit and sitting at the back 'til AF
buggers off finishes her lovely visit!

I am CD 22 of a roughly 26 day cycle. Did a test 2 days ago but neg. Probably obviously to early Blush.

When should I test again??

CODwidow · 06/08/2011 12:07

Sure my body is playing tricks again with me this month as I'm now peeing a lot!! Have very odd feeling boobs and dizzy spells but I'm sure I'm imagining it Blush

Hey all,

AF arrived this morning, gutted Sad Angry. This was cycle 7 - getting fed up now!!

I've decided on one more try, then I'm going to doctors.

Good luck to those still waiting to test, and apologies for being on a downer. Has anyone started a mini bus yet? x

Sorry about af byrnsie, console yourself with soft cheese and alcohol before their off limits Sad

MyCatLikesToHideInBoxes · 06/08/2011 16:56

So sorry you're off Byrnsie Sad

Well, I'm taking Bleats advice (sort of) have decided to sod the diet for tonight and ordered pizza for tea... I figure if I am upduffed I'm allowed and if I'm not I've got another month of dieting to pull it back Grin

Bleats · 06/08/2011 16:56

Oh Byrnsie so unfair, but what is that? I feel it in the air - today is suppose to be the best day of the year and it is charting a May minibus. Think about it double bank holidays + an extra day off for the Queen's Jubilee so it is absolutely right that we will both be hidden indoors with a little one to look after. Feeling for you but this will be our month. x

Bleats · 06/08/2011 17:04

Minibus here if you don't mind me starting it: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/1274475-Learner-driver-is-charting-a-May-minibus-for-the-April-drop-outs

Hi Cod and Hero

Byrnsie I'm so sorry Sad. Was gunning for you this month! I was so determined with my first I booked DP a cornish holiday and fed him lots of seafood zincy food and spent loads of time doing all that special legs up the wall post swi stuff (looks dead sexy Wink) to make sure it damn well happened and it still took a while. If only we could wish ourselves pregnant. Good luck on the next thread, I have everything crossed for you and may well yet join you as just checked last thread and my af was 3 days after yours.

I'm feeling seriously knackered, crampy and crabby today so we shall see... oh and tested again first thing and got another BFN but still no af so god know wtf is going on Hmm

Thanks for the kind wishes. I'm going to head to mini bus now!

Good luck to all those still in the running.

I'm off out tonight so will enjoy eating and drinking whatever I like! x

my af arrived too!!!

MyCatLikesToHideInBoxes · 06/08/2011 19:31

Feels like the end of an era - sorry AF got you IMBC -may see you on that minibus next week.

Thanks for the stats 180, hopefully that will make me feel better if I get a bfn tomorrow...

Forgot to say before - welcome newbies!

I am home alone and currently sobbing at Tonights the Night so something hormonal is going down. My boobs are absolutely killing me too but of course that could all just be pmt. Grrrrrr...

180 · 06/08/2011 20:04

Oh no Crazy! Here is some Wine for you! That was very late wasn't it Confused.

Byrnsie, hope you have a fab night... I do like to celebrate a bfn myself.. feel like a bit of binge drinker with all this on/offing!

Well, I'm trying to put all of this into perspective... if I'm not pregnant, at least I get to drink and go out while on hols, and join all of you on the next thread so its a win/win either way for me!

Going to try and realx and not think about it until weds (yeah right.. what's the bet I go and get a CB tomorrow Grin)

Evening Cat, I am staying in too. Have allowed myself a stubby beer to ease the griping pains. DP is cooking me supper Smile.

CODwidow · 06/08/2011 20:34

Well I gave in and poas and yes you guessed it great big bfn!! So now feeling like an idiot Blush I'm not imagining the symptoms so surely if I was pregnant and showing symptoms I'd be producing enough hormone?? Sorry for loud voice and rant!Angry

MyCatLikesToHideInBoxes · 06/08/2011 20:58

No need for Blush COD, you're amongst friends here... (plus we've all done it ourselves repeatedly)

I know what you mean about how you can get a bfn when you have symptoms, I've thought the same myself but you only have to read back on this thread to see it's possible so hang in there.

On a plus side, at least you are sure you're not imagining the symptoms - half the time I truly wonder if I am!

CODwidow · 06/08/2011 22:03

Thank you, I know I'm not imaging but now doubting and wondering if it's just af on her way Sad just wish I knew either way now.

Imustbecrazy26 · 07/08/2011 08:21

Well i thought af had arrived as went toilet but only has the smallest amount when i wiped sorry tmi so wipped out the tampax as my af is mega heavy at the start usually but when it came to it there was only the tiniest amount of pinkish stuff and this morning when i got up nothing as of yet still feel very afish so what the hell going on now?????????? Shock

MyCatLikesToHideInBoxes · 07/08/2011 08:25

BFN Angry

DH said "I don't understand why you don't just wait til the proper time". Problem is with ds I got bfp 4 days early so I'm now convinced I'm just experiencing pmt symptoms ready for AF to arrive wednesday(ish)

No more tests until thursday!!! If I show any sign of weakening someone just slap me please Grin

MyCatLikesToHideInBoxes · 07/08/2011 08:28

Ooh Crazy, xposted. Sounds promising - I know I have just raged against the tests but is it worth doing just one more test? Hmm

CODwidow · 07/08/2011 08:36

Mycat I'm feeling exactly the same and I'll also be testing thurs now so here's to distracting mysAngry

CODwidow · 07/08/2011 08:37

Busy distracting ourselfs till then WinkBiscuit

Imustbecrazy26 · 07/08/2011 08:40

Mycat- Sorry you got bfn!!! Well no tests in the house am waiting for some internet cheapies to arrive so hopefully tomorrow so will wait till then and if nothing happens will test again ha af will probably arrive now!!!

CODwidow · 07/08/2011 09:10

Well I'm sat at breakfast feeling crampy as if af will arrive soon so I have a feeling I'll be gone soon Sad

180 · 07/08/2011 09:33

Morning all Smile

Glad we have today's theme established!

Crazy I have read that some people can still get periods even though pregnant, especially at the beginning when hormones are at cross purposes.
That's how some people don't realise they are pregnant!

Well, my news is everything I eat this mornong tastes bitter and I nearly threw up whilst making salmon and scrambled eggs for breakfast. I've never felt that nauseous before!
