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

Oh, barmy-that made me smile! You'll be dining out on that anecdote for years! Think that beats the time my MiL bought me a Saw for my birthday. Makes for a great story!

What is with all the BFNs at the moment??? Bought my FRER and have opened the box, but don't want to POAS yet (although probably will) Is there something in the water; with no AFs and no BFPs either?

I’ve been the quiet shy new girl this month but thought I’d post to say I’m following the trend here too: CD30/13DPO and no AF but BFN. My average cycle is 27 days but can be anywhere between 25 and 30, so not too puzzled yet, although this would already be my longest ever luteal period. How strange that so many are having the same thing. Are the government putting something in the water to keep us all busy puzzling over our symptoms while they release bad news like cutting maternity leave for those having babies in nine months’ time do you think?

If my DH bought me a car maintenance day for a present, Barmy, I’d book him straight onto a cooking course to show him what I thought of it (and in the hope that he might agree to swap!). Will you be plotting a revenge present? Hope you have a great day!

barmybunting · 21/02/2014 10:33

Thanks everyone! Cineraria, the course is two days, I can't even escape with only one!! I have no idea what he was thinking, daft man! I am finding it very funny to be honest.

I have found the other part of his present since he left... I went downstairs to find two big books wrapped up next to a cake. One of the books is a car maintainance instruction book, the other is a book of aerial photos of Scottish islands "because I love them and want to visit more" he has written inside it. We have just moved to England from Scotland, and I really didn't want to move as I absolutely loved the landscapes and countryside of where we lived. I have been trying to get DH to the Isles of Lewis and Harris for years. Why oh why does he think this book is a good plan when I'm missing Scotland dreadfully!? He really has made me laugh today because I have no idea what he was thinking, poor DH! He is so impressed with the car course as well!

It's his 30th in May, I may be booking him onto a sewing or knitting course for that I think!?! You have got a good idea there cineraria! Funny man!

barmybunting · 21/02/2014 10:41

And what on earth is up with so many of us having bfns this month with no af appearing?? I wonder if, as you say cineraria, there is something in the water!

I hope you all get some answer soon, you must be going mad! treacle glad you got to the Dr yesterday, I hope that bfp shows up soon for you!

barmybunting · 21/02/2014 10:43

I'm sorry to appear again with another message, I can't read back and type on my phone. But I had to, kitty, a saw?? That's hysterical! My best from MIL was a hair protection cap, those things our Granny would wear in the rain which tied under your chin. MIL gave me a pink one, it was awful!!

Cineraria · 21/02/2014 10:49

Oh, it sounds like he really had good intentions and just didn't get it right this year. Perhaps you could assume he bought the aerial photos book to start planning a trip and see if he is too embarrassed to say it was instead of a trip. We're going to Eigg this summer, I think. Never been before but seen lovely photos and can't wait.

Hope the cake is nice, at least!

KittyVonCatsington · 21/02/2014 11:04

This will make you laugh even more, barmy... three Christmasses ago, MiL bought each of her DiLs (there are three of us) Christmas Tree embossed Toilet Roll and Kitchen Paper. To make it even worse, we didn't even get our own full packets - she opened them up and split them between us before she wrapped them. We still laugh about it today!

mama31 · 21/02/2014 11:28

Wow! That is a shocking present! Glad you can laugh about it I'm sure he intended well!!! Haha!

My DH would be rubbish at picking presents so I rarely get a surprise, he just asks what I want and then gets it to be on the safe side! Which I quite like as at least I get what I like....but a nice surprise would be good sometime!

Men are def from Mars..... haha!

mama31 · 21/02/2014 11:29

Sorry to see all the bfn's today also!!! What's going on with this bus?! Need some more bfp's asap!!!!!

EmilyPinkOrBlue · 21/02/2014 11:59

Kitty I'm only using my phone and goes blurry when I zoom in!!! So I can't really see! Hopefully someone else can zoom in on their computer to give you an opinion but I'm sure it's a bfp if you can see a line!!!!! :)

Treaclepie19 · 21/02/2014 12:12

Oh gosh kitty congrats!!!!
Definitely see a line!

Cineraria · 21/02/2014 12:15

I can see it too, even on a phone! Definitely looks like congratulations are in order. How exciting!

Well done on breaking the run of negative tests. Let's hope for plenty more positive ones to follow yours!

KittyVonCatsington · 21/02/2014 12:27

I have a Windows phone and the camera isn't as good as my old iPhone [Grrr] Seems too early to be too excited but I'm looking at it right now and the faint pink line is definitely still there.

I'll take my mind off it by posting my symptoms:

I'm on CD30 today. I ovulated on CD19 I think (+ve OPK and sharp stabbing pains in left side) and had strong waves of nausea (CD21 onwards) but I did last month after ovulating and got a BFN. Stabbing pains in the left side started up again three days ago with the odd feeling of my heart beat pumping quite hard, but can say I have felt the same way before AF appearing, so am still worried it might happen. Had a runny nose from CD20 till a couple of days ago. I don't have sore boobs, better sense of smell etc.

I've had a teaspoon of Manuka Honey every morning with the Pregnacare Conception tables (used Boots own brand last two cycles). I have had some alcoholic drinks (few bottles of beer on my birthday and again on birthday party just before ovulating, glass of champagne and glass of red wine on Wednesday) but cut down considerably. Started DTD CD8 and carried on every day until CD23 when runny nose got a bit blocked and felt rubbish (Valentine's Day weirdly....) and then again CD24-26. WRT to Koala Plan - Gave up NUDP after CD11 and struggled to orgasm at all after a while - let alone after DH!

Oh God, I hope I am pregnant, reading back I sound like a nutter...

Treaclepie19 · 21/02/2014 12:42
