Yay mrsh Don't mind admitting I'm proud to have been part of the peer pressure that made you poas Grin CONGRATS

mrshjb · 22/05/2014 12:37

Oh yeah and a lot of bloating!!

Haha snoopie thanks, glad you all did :)

mrshjb · 22/05/2014 12:38

Sorry totally got your name wrong there. I'm very tired after my 4am POASing...!!

Spotti · 22/05/2014 12:44

That certainly is a big fat positive MrsH! (ha ha - autocorrect changed that to 'big fatso toe'...hoping you've not got one of those...although that would make a very interesting SYMPTOM for the list ha ha!)

I'm officially on cd6 and AF has finally buggered off. Going to start POAS (OPK) again soon - would have done it this morning but after picking OH up from his night shift at 2am this morning and getting up again at 5 to sort out the pony, I kinda sorta forgot! Probably a good thing anyway as I'm sure it's too early to be getting obsessive over pee sticks! Didn't OV 'til cd16 last month so I might see if I can manage to wait until at least cd10 tomorrow before I start peeing on sticks...allow myself a bit of time after AF to live my life 'normally'.

Planning on keeping busy again this month so that I can't symptom spot. Got a few more doggies to train and lots of work planned with my horsey and several 2am taxi duties for my OH to do so fx that will keep me busy enough to not notice where I am in my cycle until BAM one day I realise I have a bump and turn out to be pregnant Wink (if only it was that easy!)

Hopefully my body will play ball and stick to one length or another (won't be POAS until after day 35, even though last cycle was bang on 30 days I'm not going down the route of getting my hopes up if really it's just my body being an ass again).

Day 6 seems such a long way away from day 35/36 though...not that I'm counting yeah right!!

xBlueberry88x · 22/05/2014 13:21

Afternoon ladies

I think I am finally out on day 36 longest cycle ever

bleeding a bit but not as much as normal on first day of AF but im counting it anyway off to June bus.

FX for everyone left

gennibugs · 22/05/2014 13:34

mrsh thanks for the stats , I love reading obsessing over them ha ha

blueberry glad AF has shown up, well not glad but you know what I mean, hopefully you aren't in limbo anymore.

spinning that's the kind of thing my DH would say too. He always asks me to warm him when AF is due so he can stay out my way.

good luck for this month spotti I think staying busy is definitely the key to staying sane!

SoMuchFruit · 22/05/2014 13:37

retro I had a MC at 6+4 in December last year and it has left me very nervous of being v excited/too keen this time. I am almost past that point now but think I wont be relaxed until after 12wks. I know you can MC after that but the chances are less so in my head that is the first goal to reach before I feel 'excited'properly. Silly but its how I feel.

Think will maybe feel better after my early scan too.

RetroHippy · 22/05/2014 13:46

Completely understand your caution. I think it's so hard to relax if you have any reason to doubt.

I'm unsure about telling people, my mum I know will be supportive whatever, but mil is I think heading back into depression and I'm not sure she's well enough. I know she worried constantly with sils pregnancy.

I have a hen weekend to go to in less than two months, so I won't be 12 weeks yet. It's old friends who will know as soon as I hit the soft drinks, so I'm going to have to come clean before I go. I also don't want to steal the hen's thunder on the day by announcing while I'm there.

I might see if I can borrow my friends Doppler (is that the right thing?) to see if I can hear a heartbeat before I go. Or see if we can stump up to go private for an early scan.

MrBsMrsB · 22/05/2014 16:01

Hi Ladies,

I have been away for far too long..... far too long. It took me ages to find teh new bus too. Any-ways - skimming through all the posts and came across the roll call and would like to say congrats to all the ladies with the BFPs.

English, toots & linda when I saw your names I almost teared up. I am so happy for you al.

lindamagoo · 22/05/2014 16:25

Hey MrsB how are you?

sammyj85 · 22/05/2014 16:30

Congratulations mrshjb!

MrBsMrsB · 22/05/2014 16:59

Hey linda, I am lovely. In a good place with the whole ttc thing right now. Not worrying so much. How are you? I cant believe I missed all the announcements. There are so many BFPs on this bus. Its lovely to see.

Looking at the stats, I bizarrely saw that my bfp was due on the 20th i must have given those stats while I was drunk Its actually supposed to be due today and I am cramping slightly so we'll see.

and english is back in the UK!!!!!

Taking a break from MM and coming back to all the bfps has to be the highlight of my day does that sound sad?

KittyVonCatsington · 22/05/2014 17:18

Yippee for Mrsh fab line there my lovely Grin Ta for the stats too, I am always happy when a late ovulator gets success-lots of hope for me!

Welcome back MrsB-how have you been?

I am so so sorry that Retro and SoMuch don't have what I have come to call pregnancy bliss where you don't have the automatic fear of losing your bean. I remember the first BFP I had and how I daydreamed about due dates and the future etc. Now, if I get (no, when I get!) a BFP, I'm not sure I'll be able to relax and enjoy being pregnant. I sincerely wish for both of you to have health and happy pregnancies, but I understand how you must be feeling. Brew and Cake coming your way Grin

Glad you are doing good MrsB and glad you are in a good place with the ttc, it can get a bit much when you stress about it. I'll keep my fingers crossed that we see your BFP very soon, this has been a lucky bus so far. I'm still in shock at my BFP but it's real, had a scan on Monday to check the little bean as I was spotting and having a lot of pain but all is good for now Smile

EnglishGirlsReturned · 22/05/2014 17:58

Hi MrsB! Thank you! It was about time my body played ball! Glad you're in a better, more relaxed place, it's definitely better for your sanity! Fx for you!!

I had my early scan today... Not as reassuring as I'd hoped but equally not bad either. They saw a sac measuring 4-5 weeks so not as far along as I'd thought. I've got another scan booked for 3 weeks to give it plenty of time to grow. Obviously I'm scared stiff but google has thrown loads of positive stories at me and I'm clinging onto that!

Hope you lovely ladies get your BFPs soon!!

victoria401 · 22/05/2014 19:01

Got my dh's sa print out today. It was a lot worse that we initially thought. He has antisperm antibodies. So I'm definitely out without getting af. Its very unlikely we will conceive without ivf so I'm leaving the buses. Good luck ladies I'm off to drown my sorrows..... :-(

Fingerscrossed36 · 22/05/2014 19:44

Sending big hugs Victoria xx

theduchesse · 22/05/2014 19:55

Oh Victoria I'm really sorry to hear that. Life is just unfair sometimes. I hope you have some people around you to support you as you come to terms with the news.

KittyVonCatsington · 22/05/2014 20:01

Not what you wanted victoria-I'm so sorry. Good luck with you IVF route-I'm sorry it has come to that. I pray you get your bundle of joy Thanks

KittyVonCatsington · 22/05/2014 20:03

Glad the latest scans look ok linda and english !

Just had two bottles of beer. Feel a little light headed -my tolerance has completely gone since cutting down TTC Grin

Plan on doing what I call 'cleaning the pipes' DTD later Wink

So so sorry Victoria, I wish you all the best for the future and hope IVF works for you both Thanks

MrsExtraOrdinary · 22/05/2014 20:32

I'm so sorry victoria, I wish you well on your journey. Thanks

EnglishGirlsReturned · 22/05/2014 20:41

Sorry to hear your news Victoria. I hope you get to the top of the ivf list soon and they're able to have things sorted for you. Lots of love and luck coming your way

TinyPawz · 22/05/2014 20:41

AF was due today so I could start next cycle and get back on the horse so to speak, but the aul witch is nowhere to be seen. No sore norks, no cramps, no headaches, nowt, nada, niente. Where the eff is she??!!
