Spotti I'm too scared to have that on my google history haha! Happy to look at them on here though lol

onelifeonechance · 18/05/2014 14:38

Mama, did you call? Grin Here I am, I've jumped on, we've been hanging around so long we're practically joined at the hip so I can't miss the bus on which you're going to get your BFP!!
Hello all Loving the fact the penis dragon is still featuring, is it slightly ridiculous that I am a tiny bit chuffed I was around for the first hilarious conversation involving them? (Know it's clutching at straws but there's got to be some positives for waiting so long for a BFP!!)

Stats:

onelifeonechance, ttc #1, cycle 14! (For June bus purposes), BFP end of June sometime (to be updated once af arrives)

Just to update my story, now under a fertility clinic, dh has low morphology on his SA but consultant not too fussed as his count and motility both good, all my bloods/scans etc are so far so good, had a hycosy last week so I know my tubes are working and I'm waiting on a blood test result for my AMH levels. Due to the hyscosy we've been told by the docs not to dtd this month so I'm currently on cycle 13 in the highly unusual situation of wishing af to start so we can get cracking again!

Fab to be back on a bus! Got a good feeling about June ladies Smile

Mam31 · 18/05/2014 18:27

Yes I called!!! Yay! So glad your here with me!! And yes it would be lovely to get a June bfp, however I am now in the mindset that the road is long but I want to have fun on the way! And the bus is the perfect place for that :)

Great to be back!!!!!

Purplelilly · 18/05/2014 18:47

I just did my first ever pregnancy test. BFN for me (at 2 days until AF is due and with an early indicator test from boots.

Looks like I'm in for June!

Sorry for TMI, but if your wee is very light in colour when you take your test would it still show up as positive? I will take another test with morning wee just to be sure. Or maybe I shoud just wait for AF to arrive as I can't afford another box of tests this month :(

I feel really sad, even though I sort of knew I wasn't pregnant. Urgh going to be properly prepared next month!

KittyVonCatsington · 18/05/2014 21:29

Good to have you back on board onelife! Can't believe how many tests you've had - so hope they get to the route of any issues and at least rule a lot of things out. I too have a good feeling about June-it's hard when lots of your buddy passengers graduate (lovely for them of course!) month after month, so I understand why a break is often needed. I just find something so consistent with the buses that even if I'm having an off day, it won't be long before I'm laughing at something (or balking, lindas frothy cups almost put me off my beer Hee Hee)

Sounds like a good shopping spree Spotti. I'm really lucky in that my sister has pretty much decamped all of her old baby and toddler things into my loft, so I have it all ready and waiting for any new arrival. it's the little socks and hats that get me Blush

lindamagoo · 18/05/2014 21:36

Oh kitty I am sorry about the froth, lol. Blame Spotti though, as soon as she mentioned it curiosity and temptation got the better of me Grin

bellaboo88 · 18/05/2014 23:31

Spotti, its so satisfying buying baby things at car boot isn't it!

I have two Moses & stands, both a fiver...my best buy was the mamas & papas one rrp £145!

I too was up at 5.45 & went to two car boots before work! I have a list of things I want/prices I'm happy to pay & tbh there's not a lot left to get (clothes will b from gifts/pram from parents)

Cot was £3...its been sanded down, cleaned, undercoated & half way painted a lovely cream! Only needs new mattresses for all. Only close friends/family will ever c the nursery & baby won't mind it was cheap I'm sure xx

spinningirl10 · 19/05/2014 07:31

Morning Grin

I've come over from the May bus, 6dpo so bfp due May 28th so I thought I'd straddle 2 busesGrin

Hi, Mama and Onelife, good to see you both, lets hope June is the month we all get our bfp's!!!

misstiggiwinkle · 19/05/2014 07:35

Morning all, so I'm 4dpo and woke up this morning feeling like I was about to run a temperature and that I was coming down with something Hmm. Just the last thing I need right now, especially as we moved house over the weekend and I have so much unpacking to do it's not a joke.

Got a big meeting this morning so putting my waves of nausea down to big fat nerves. I wish the 2ww would get a move on, it's taking forever!

Spotti I admire your proactive ness at buying all your baby stuff - I couldn't do it, feel like it would be tempting fate...

cth1982 · 19/05/2014 08:45

Hey Ladies - I'm joining the June bus as AF got me this weekend.

Stats - cth1982 TTC#1, Cycle 6, BFP due June 11th

I actually had a bit of a rubbish May (which is why I haven't been on the boards much) - I have PCOS but by temping and charting I have seen that since December (after coming off the pill in November) I have been ovulating each month. This past month I thought I would try and help out by taking pregnacare conception - massive mistake!

The pills completely messed with my system giving me a 56 day cycle (and not clear ovulation)! They were the only thing I changed and after some researching online seems like I wasn't the only person to ever have this problem - it seems so ironic that the thing you take to help you along actually messes things up! Hopefully this month I'll be back on track.

onelifeonechance · 19/05/2014 08:54

Thanks mama, kitty and spinning, it's good to be back Smile Yes kitty, I'm working my way through all the tests, hoping we can stop soon for the loveliest of reasons!

Focusing on the positives me and dh spent the entire weekend in the garden and there is no one we would have achieved what we did with a little bubba around. The people who lived in our house before us clearly didn't touch it for the twenty odd years they lived here, so we therapeutically ripped out a load of weeds and gubbins - found tennis balls, gardening gloves, brass door handle, knife?!, door handle, open to offers pm me Wink So I like to think of it that we are making our home as lovely as possible so when we do get our bfp all the big jobs will be done and we can all just enjoy each other Smile

onelifeonechance · 19/05/2014 08:57

Cth1982, sorry to hear pregnacare messed your cycles up, I've been wary of taking it as scared it might do that to me. I've only ever been on folic acid, have wondered about vitamins a lot but there's always been this worry stopping me. My cycles are fairly regular, nothing too extreme, so I don't want to rock the boat. I have been pondering recently whether I should take some, but your post has made me think it's prob better to leave alone and continue with a good diet. Really hope you settle out this month.

Spotti · 19/05/2014 12:11

misstiggiwinkle - I wasn't really intending on buying baby stuff (I thought it might tempt fate to keep up the BFNs) BUT it was a such a bargain that I couldnt resist!

I joked to OH though that because the Moses basket has blue bedding with little aeroplanes on it, we are soooooo going to have a girl! Not that I'm bothered either way, but it would be just typical to be all set up for a boy and then get a girl! OH doesn't want to find out the sex either so it really would be a last-minute switch-er-roo to make stuff a bit more girl friendly...although I quite like yellow, so I suppose it wouldn't matter who turned up at the other end!

Also got a few reeeeeally cute snow suits (a cow print one and fuzzy brown teddy bear one) which were reduced from £10.99 to just under £3, and a dressing gown (superman) which was £4.50 from £12, and I was forced to buy them because the label said "just too cute" and I can't disagree with the label!!!

Spotti · 19/05/2014 12:12

The snow suits weren't from the car boot though. I bought those months ago back when I was naive enough to think I might need them soon

Newboots86 · 19/05/2014 12:44

Hello lovely ladies. Just wondering when I can have myself a little POAS party? I'm 10 dpo.

Excellent bargain hunting Spotti i love a good car boot and can't resist a bargain. I got a hostess trolley for £12 years ago and still works like a charm!

pyrowall · 19/05/2014 12:46

Of course you can newboots!!! I'll have a party with you as my AF has turned up!

Well...if you can call it an AF - not much to it at the moment! TMI!

hanflan · 19/05/2014 12:53

newboots I would definitely have a little poas party if you have a FRER or a Superdrug test! Wouldn't trust anything else at 10dpo though Smile

MustBeDueSomeBetterFeet · 19/05/2014 13:11

Moving across from May bus too:

Mustbeduesomebetterfeet, 36, TTC #2, Cycle 2, BFP due 17th June.

Thought we'd try Conceive Plus this cycle instead of Preseed. Will use the softcups as they seemed to help with conceiving my son. And just going to get lots of DTD in if we can manage it! Am sure we missed ovulation this month as it seemed quite a short cycle compared to normal, so am starting temping and OPKs to make sure.

Phew - this is quite the job!!

Good luck everyone. Let's hope this is our month.

Newboots86 · 19/05/2014 13:12

I only have IC's at the moment. Ordered 10 and they sent 30 - I think they must know how much I love to pee on stuff! I will try one tomorrow morning but might go to boots later... Hmmm, keep swinging back and forth between thinking it ridiculous and I'm definitely not pg and symptom spotting like crazy! Grrr! Confused

Stepawayfromthezebras · 19/05/2014 13:44

I'm moving over from the May bus as AF arrived a day early

Stats are:

Stepawayfromthezebras: 36 TTC # 1 Cycle 10 BFP due 15th June.

I'm all stocked up on Conceive Plus, folic acid, grapefruit juice, and lots of decaff. Also thinking about getting some softcups.

KittyVonCatsington · 19/05/2014 16:23

Afternoon!

Sorry to see some of you here because of AF-what a cow!

I too can't help but think the last two cycles I have used pregnacare conception and had no or really delayed ovulation that I missed it, could be connected. Think I'll just stick to only Folic Acid-much cheaper anyway!

Wineandchoccy · 19/05/2014 16:36

Hello can I join, I had a miscarriage 2 weeks ago I found out at the 12 week scan but we have decided to try again straight away.

I had my bfp on the March bus we used the smep last time which obviously worked but my body had other ideas Sad i also used balance activ fertility lube from boots.

Wineandchoccy TTC#1 Cycle 1 after mmc/cycle 8? Bfp due ??

Stepawayfromthezebras · 19/05/2014 17:01

Wineandchoccy, I'm so sorry about your loss Flowers Fingers crossed for a happy outcome this time for you x

Kitty, I've moved over to plain folic acid from Seven Seas Trying for a Baby - much cheaper and my regular as clockwork 27 day cycles changed to 26/29/28/26 since I've been taking SSTFAB - not much change but it's made me a bit suspicious

Wineandchoccy · 19/05/2014 17:12

Thank you stepawayfromthezebras I hope so as well.

I have stocked up on opks and pregnancy tests I have a scan tomorrow to check everything is ok then we can get busy Grin

We have booked a holiday in June to Spain to cheer ourselves up at least I can get drunk on sangria Wine

KittyVonCatsington · 19/05/2014 17:14

Oh WineandChoccy no!!!!! I'm so so sorry you had to go through that Sad To go that long must have been awful for you-I remember when you got your BFP too. Really really sad to read that you went through that. Will be with you on your journey, no doubt about that! Just be kind to yourself and talk on here if you need to Thanks
