Learner driver is charting a May minibus for the April drop outs

[Bleats]

Removes self from bus. AF arrived yesterday - hope a BFP arrives soon xx

Heya pipbin I'm still here too. Just trying to keep really busy to distract myself from 2ww (8 days to go - inc today!)

Sorry to all of those who fell off, or think they might fall soon.

I'm really hoping this is our month as we gave it our all this month. 9 times in 11 days! If I'm not PG this time then I'm off to docs. Been trying since Jan, ovulating regularly, using pre-seed, taking folic acid, eating healthily and exercising as well as all the SWI. I have explored all DIY options, so if not successful now then I need to get the professionals on the job! Sorry for that ramble - guess I was doing a little check list to reassure myself!!

Good luck everyone

Sorry ladies can you let me off at the next stop, AF arrived today right on cue!:( Still I can console myself with the thought that my holiday to France tomorrow is to one of the beautiful wine regions and I can now happily indulge in a number of tasting sessions.
It has been a pleasure riding with you and I wish you all the luck in the future, I will be poking my head in occasionally to see how things are going and who I need to congratulate on a BFP :)

Oh dear. All these people getting their visit from AF. We need a couple of BFPs to balance it out surely?

I'm 5DPO and starting to go mad, every tiny twinge that is most likely indigestion it making me wonder.

Another 10 days to wait until AF does or doesn't show.
I've just ordered another load of OPKs so that means I'm going to get BFP doesn't it?

Hello all. I'm still here. AF due next Weds, though OV was late this month (+ve OPK on Sat), so maybe AF will be a few days later than that.

Had plenty of SWI in the run up to and the couple of days after my +ve OPK, also been using pre-seed, so am cautiously hopeful... but got no symptoms at all . Spuddy your nipples sounds optimistic! (as it were).

Byrnsie that's 8 months... definitely off to the doc with you, though am hoping for you that this is your month.

Pipbin I like your thinking. I just bought Pregnacare Conception vitamins, and thought to myself "sod's law says I'll get a BFP". Let's hope we are right... !

Sorry to all those leaving the bus, best of luck on the next one along.

Ahhhh!!!!! BFP!!!! ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe it!!!! I did a test on Monday (internet cheapie) but chucked it as soon as the control line came up, thinking "ah well, didn't think I was anyway".

Found it when emptying the bin this affie and thought - that looks like a faint line, I'll POAS now, as it's surely an evap line after this long.

I kept watching this time after the control line appeared, and kept looking and looking and thought, ooo eck a that's a second line! Kept picking it up over and over again. Then did a second one - yup, deffo two lines!!!

I'm so nervous and excited about telling DP . I just pray my passenger holds on

OOH congratulations Floydie! And to think you nearly got off the bus...!

That's a nice story about you finding the test in the bin after thinking it was a BFN.

let's hope that starts this bus onto a roll...

Byrnsie I realise my last post may have sounded bad, I didn't mean 8 months means there must be something wrong, I just meant you now are likely to get some attention from a GP as I think they have a 6 month "rule" don't they. Anyway if make yourself a dr appointment, that is bound to bring on a BFP... (in the same vein as Pipbin's OPKs and my expensive vitamins)

Evening all. Spuddy, sorry to hear about your work issues.. I hope it resolves itself one way or the other soon.

Cat and Mesea, sorry to see you go, am pretty sure will be joining you on the next month as no symptoms this month after last month's rollercoaster.

FLOYDIE WOOOOHOOOOO!! Great story and brilliant result!

Congratulations Floydie!!!

Sorry to hear about work troubles Spuddy I am back to work on Monday after 6 weeks off (I work in a school). I really don't want to go back love being at home with DS's.

No more blood in my CM. Have been having a crampy, abdominal feeling over the weekend and have seen an increase in my CM. I keep thinking AF is going to arrive because of the spotting the other day hopefully she won't show up at all this month (roll on 11th September).

Have had a nice day swimming in the outdoor pool in Yate. Have managed to get ridiculously sunburnt though .

Speak soon!

Floydie that's fantastic news, so glad for you!

I've developed my usual pre-menstrual headache so I've cracked open an alcoholic ginger beer tonight (yum) - well, every cloud has a ginger lining...

floydie omg that's great!! well done you and DP!!

Yay floydie congratulations!! About time our mini bus got a BFP
How far on in your cycle were you? I'm always looking for an excuse to test early

Let's hope this is the beginning of a long line of BFP's!!!

I've not really had any symptoms apart from tender boobs, but that isn't unusual for me, so guess I just have to wait. 6 days to go, including today! I guess I could do a First Response, but I've done so well not testing early the last few months - I'm determined to be strong!

Thanks for the reassurance mini. Some docs say 12-18 months before they take you seriously, but my doc has been very supportive (especially during both chems) so I think I stand a good chance of being heard if I go this month!! But hopefully I won't need to go (she adds, not wanting to tempt fate!)

Good luck to all. Think I'm going to be on here every day for the next week - I need the support in the second week of 2ww!! x

Sadly ladies i have to get off the bus. AF arrived this morning in 'horses head in the bed' stylee. :(

Wont be able to try next month either as DP is away for 3 weeks. :( :(

Anyway, good luck everyone, i shall think of you all when my swing arrives.

I've changed your status on the list Floydie. Best of luck x

Floydie - that it is the best - I am made up for you.

Sorry for the rest of us with AF, but we can only keep trying (and we can at least make that fun).

Damn AF Spuddy, I was sure you had done it.

I've got a week to go until AF is due so I might see you on the next bus. Who knows.

Sorry to hear that Spuddy. Good luck for month after next (no chance DP can return for a weekend of conjugal duties?), enjoy the swing!

Thanks for all the good wishes ladies Hope you Some of you will be joining me in he club soon!

I was on CD33 Byrnsie, which assuming I was the same as last month was two days before I would have been due.

I told him I'd been out on my motorbike, but that it turned out I'd been carrying a passenger - he looked confused for a moment before he realised what I meant

Just hope my passenger holds on tight! x

Ding ding, that's my stop then ladies, AF just turned up.

Been great cruising with you all - hope loads more of you join floydie soon but for those who don't I'll look forward to spending more time with you all on the next bus.

Evevning all

Bleats and MyCat sorry to hear you are off the bus.

I've been feeling like I've been hit by a train all day. Been very stressful at work for the last two weeks, so may be that I'm coming down with something. I'm finding it really hard to stay awake but after last month's debacle am desperate not to symptom spot! CD22 for me today so got at least a week to go .

Aww, thanks 180 - wishing you every luck this month!

I've loved being on this minibus and I'll miss you all so I've taken the liberty of starting another one for any May dropouts who'd like to join me.

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/1292496-All-aboard-for-the-June-2012-minibus-transfer-service-for-May-minibus-dropouts

Hope none of you need it but if this one isn't your bus I'd be delighted drive you towards a June destination.

Thanks MyCat... got a feeling I'll be joining you shortly though as am horribly pre AF today..

Hey all,

Had extremely light spotting yesterday and today. Really hope AF isn't on her way (not due 'til wednesday)!

It is about 11-12 DPO so hoping against hope that it's implantation, but don't want to get my hopes up. CD 29 today (of a usual 33 day cycle) What is going on with my body?! Anyone else had this and ended up being PG?!

Sorry to those who've fallen off! I'm going to reserve my seat on the other bus - just in case! x

Yay! A BFP for the bus, congratulations Floydie!!!

Sorry to all those who've been gotten my AF, it gets a little harder each month doensn't it? I try not to get my hopes up but fail miserably every time.

Byrnsie, really hope spotting is a positive sign for you, have decided it's both of our turns this month, we started our journey at the same time so think it's only fair we get off at the same stop, and we have been very patient (longest bus journey I've ever been on). Buses round us are slow but 8 months is taking the biscuit.

We've certainly put our backs into it this month as it were: days 5,7,8,10,12,13,15,17,18 so if we haven't cracked it it's not for lack of trying! Day 18 just now (average 27 day cycle) so ready to hang up SWI boots and carry on for fun when the mood takes us. No danger or any action tonight as DH has a boys night out but managed this morning so I'm happy.

Spent a lovely long lie this moring discussing names, I really really hope that this is our turn, it would be perfect as we'd get to tell everyone at christmas.

Good luck to everyone else still riding (no pun intended!).

Golly Stork, am most impressed at your athleticism! (and very jealous ).

Byrnsie could you have ov'd a little later than normal this is day 8?

I'm still feeling absolutely shattered but desperate not to get my hopes up at all this month as I was so sure last month. Just goes to show you never can tell!

Fingers crossed for everyone we need another bus like the april one where there were 5 bfp's in a row!
