We're are getting dangerously close to 1000 posts on the other bus so thought I would start another one. Will update stats in another post. Fingers Crossed for lots more BFPs Grin

Caged definitely ask for the results. You need a t3 t4 and tsh. It's crucial for fertility and healthy pg. some GPS are more sympathetic than others though. The reason mine is so utterly shit is down to my completely stupid gp. Which I will change as soon as I remember which is also a common side effect. I have the memory of a very small goldfish currently, I'm driving my family mad with loosing things and not remembering conversations. Iron levels are also crucial which I also suffer with, which has just reminded me to go and have a spatone!

My BFPis due 28th, I've had some short, sharp shooting pains just above pelvic bone, is that a sign of pregnancy or AF?! I'm on crutch watch as AF came early last month, fingers crossed!
Sorry to all the sad news, usually watching and reading everyday.

RhiBee29 · 23/02/2014 18:52

Finally home but got a B.F.N! AF due tomoro, no usual signs though...not over til the witch rears her big ugly red head is it? Might get a FRER if no AF by tomoro evening Confused

CagedMango · 23/02/2014 19:16

Thanks MrsE. Think I'll make an appointment soonish. You should def change your gp!

Rhi-what test did you use?

Longo fingers crossed.

toots123 · 23/02/2014 19:37

Sorry for all the shit news girls! This hasnt been the best bus.

I tested this morning and bfn, the limbo continues. Really disappointed, I checked
It about forty times!! Another few days and i will test again if no af!

RhiBee29 · 23/02/2014 19:38

Used an ic, had a v.faint line Saturday but may have been an evap line Sad Stupid to get my hopes up as its only cycle 2! Thought I had some pg symptoms, cramps, huge sore boobs from 5dpo but maybe not....

I know I'm going to use an ic in the morning if no AF, why do we do it to ourselves?!

LittleMissSunshine33 · 23/02/2014 19:45

Oh no ladies Sad so many BFN's but then not full flows so still have my FX can't believe how quick this month has gone! Am going to focus on wedding plans next month to try to keep my mind off of ttc hope that might help .... until at least OV week! Wink!

Although I am still in at the mo I shouldn't count myself out yet!!!

toots123 · 23/02/2014 19:46

Im the same rhi its so hard not to test!!!

RhiBee29 · 23/02/2014 19:53

toots littlemiss where are you in your cycles?

toots123 · 23/02/2014 20:04

Im cd44 ov'd nearly three weeks ago and no af/bfp... the joys!

Writerwannabe83 · 23/02/2014 20:05

Hello everyone - just checking in......I can't believe what a horrible bus journey most of you are having. Too much bad news, too many BFN's and far too many of you waiting in Limbo - it doesn't make for joyful reading Sad

My thoughts are with those who have miscarried and for those in Limbo or still in their 2WW I'm really, really hoping for some brilliant BFPs for you!!!

LittleMissSunshine33 · 23/02/2014 20:08

Toots that sounds positive?!

My BFP is due on the 28th 9dpo so will be POAS every day from tomorrow! Hoping your faint line gets darker this week Rhi!

RhiBee29 · 23/02/2014 20:13

toots have you seen your gp for a blood test?

I'm so impatient I'd be camping outside the surgery!

RhiBee29 · 23/02/2014 20:16

littlemiss I started testing at 9dpo, hope you're one of those that show up nice and bold and early, we need some positive news!

toots123 · 23/02/2014 20:29

Nah I havent called the gp. Im giving it one more week. I was a bit mad to start with but dh made a good point, there's nothing we can do but wait. So if nothing by a week tomorrow I will call the gp :)

Just really hoping its a bfp, I know how delighted we would both be and would love to see dh's face!!!

LittleMissSunshine33 · 23/02/2014 20:43

My friend didn't have AF and kept getting BFNs she is due in August! The dr said sometimes tests can't pick up the Hormone so FX!!!!!!

RhiBee29 · 23/02/2014 20:44

You have the patience of a saint!

KittyVonCatsington · 23/02/2014 20:53

Until AF appears, there is every chance of getting a BFP! Rhi, how soon did the second line appear? If it was pretty quickly, (up to 3 mins) it is highly unlikely to be an Evap line Smile

My symptoms seem to be the same as AF symptoms-it is so hard to differentiate! Agree with Writer -too many disappointing shocks on this bus. Really hopping for a better final week xxx

So sad reading back. Thankfully this bus is nearly over so we can get on with March! Spring and longer days and things will cheer us all up.

Can't remember who asked, think it was barmy but I saw a marketing job at a uni which looked quite interesting. The thought of changing jobs made me feel anxious though so I'm sticking with the idea of staying in teaching for now. It's been suggested that I can move out of Y6 next year which should help.

Hope this week brings some positivity to everyone - or at least some answers!

Just realised I've still been posting here despite being in day 4 of full AF! Just can't leave you guys x

LittleMissSunshine33 · 24/02/2014 07:02

Would you prefer Yr6 missmrs? That would scare me!!! I like the little ones!

BFN today 4 days to go Blush

toots123 · 24/02/2014 07:25

Dont leave us yet missmrs
sorry littlemiss will you test again tomorrow?

I had an IC in my hand but put it down and ran for a pee before I could pee on it haha
think I'll test tomorrow or Wednesday though

MrsExtraOrdinary · 24/02/2014 09:28

Well not sure about controlling it, but af booked in at 9.15 as soon as I got home from school run with my frer! Grin I'm not upset I really do think it's quite funny! Id love to have a spring baby really and I know it's going to take a while to get really well enough to conceive so all in all not bad!

When I look back at last year, I'd already had surgery cancelled twice and about to embark on what was probably the worst year of my life health wise. I had huge surgery, some major, 4 times so to get myself here, where I'm starting to feel well enough to be ttc is absolutely brilliant really.

I'm going to give reflexology a while again but not sure what time of the month to book that in.

Marching onto the march bus, good luck everyone. Hopefully some of you with bfp will pop on let us know how you're doing.

Missmrs one of my sons is in yr6, he's doing SATs prep. It's stressful for the kids, so must be exceptionally horrendous to be trying to get 30 kids through that. Ds's teacher was off her rocker on parents evening, the pressure must be huge. I think yr 3 must be a good year to teach, still young enough to be little but not big enough to answer back! Grin

MrsExtraOrdinary · 24/02/2014 11:03

Sent dh a text to say he couldn't have an m5 this month, which is code for us, that af has arrived! He has the tact of a plank usually, but was actually very very sweet. I'm not lovey dovey about my dh at all, but I had a moment of mushiness over him! Considering I've been a Witch for about 10 days, I supposes he must love me!
