So you're a hedge-fund manager who wears Reiss suits and Clarks shoes but the allure of nappies and nannies is growing stronger? Yep. You're on the right buzz. We're heading straight for Knocked-Upsville and we've got an on-board telly for watching OBEM and slagging off the scrotes who go to th'ospickal clutching a Lidl carrier bag. Come and join us. Don't be coy. Don't forget yer lube and soy.

Wooo-oooow another march hare bus! waves, then dives back into burrow

PurdeyPie · 26/03/2015 12:48

Blimey, I thought that was impossible early! The earliest they can detect a HB is usually 6+3. I am so pleased your friend's pregnancy is safe. She must feel amazing today Smile

Yayy wotsits that's great news!Smile

mrsb0710 · 26/03/2015 12:57

I'm sorry so many of you ladies are having an utterly crap day Flowers. I don't have any cake, but I'll share my chocolate digestives, and choc covered cranberries if that helps at all.

wotsits glad your friend got good news. The waiting part is always the hardest.

I still have ewcm, is it worthwhile dtd again tonight?? After last night I don't want to put any unnecessary pressure on DH.

I'm off into London to chat about my colon with my consultant. Makes a change from talking about cm and my lady parts.

Hi autumn Please push to be scanned. I don't want to scare or upset you but my MC last year was just brown discharge. Never any fresh blood. Everything I read online kept telling me not to worry so I didn't get it checked out for 2 weeks. Im sure I'm the minority but I always worry when people post saying 'brown blood is old blood' . Take care x

Oysterbabe · 26/03/2015 13:09

Mrsb I'd DTD of you can. If in doubt shag.

I hate this time of the month. You try really hard not to but you start to think you might be pregnant and it makes it so much harder to get the bfn. It's the hope that kills you.
Boss must think I have a urinary infection from the amount of knicker watching going on!!

Sparkly123 · 26/03/2015 13:35

I am just gonna go back and catch up. But isn't this heartbreaking about the plane crash update.. You just can't imagine that someone would do that. I'm never flying again!
Hope you all ok catch up now Flowers

DizzyMerry · 26/03/2015 13:42

Dtd mrsb at least that way you won't be doubting yourself.

Utterly heartbreaking about the plane crash update sparkly Sad

I got a smiley yesterday evening so dtd and my plan is to dtd tonight, tomorrow night and then am on sat and sun as DH will be out till late on sat night. Then we can dtd whenever we want Grin

Oysterbabe · 26/03/2015 13:43

It's unbelievable, all those children Sad

OH has just had an appointment at the hospital because he has injured his groin (twasn't me honest!!) and he's been booked for an operation 9th June to repair the tendon. Better get knocked up before then, I don't know how long he'll be out of action for!

mrsb0710 · 26/03/2015 13:48

Utterly horrific when such a tragedy occurs, even more so when it appears deliberate.

KnitFastDieWarm · 26/03/2015 14:02

Afternoon chaps, room for another sicky one? Joins Heir and hands out sick bags and ginger biscuits

I miss the bus banter - I keep checking up on all you lovely ladies and hoping and praying for your BFPs to arrive very soon!

Sparkly123 · 26/03/2015 14:11

mrsb you have done really good this cycle with dtd don't give yourself a hard time! Good work lovely Flowers

Purds Urgh for bfn. Regardless, I'm keeping the faith. For this cycle and next and next if needed. I am positive for you Star you always say it will take a miracle. Easter is a coming love, miracles are standard Grin

Boris so sorry for such a rubbish day yesterday. April is the one lovely!! Flowers

mummy hope you are ok, been thinking of you Flowers

Nomio I'm so sorry for your loss, I can imagine your sister will really appreciate your support. I hope the funeral goes as ok as can be Flowers

Autumn so sorry to hear of the limbo you are in . You are very strong to keep going. Im glad that tests are still strong and that it is more brown bleeding than red. We are all thinking of you and keeping positive for a good outcome Flowers

wotsit great news for your friend what a relief.

frog sorry again lovely. See you In April Flowers

Dizzy good plan lovely!! Grin

purds further to my earlier points ... I honestly had a thought this morning- should I just throw the bbt in the bin?! What good is it doing me really? I mean, yes I know when to stop AI due to temp Rise.. But after months of temping I kinda know when to stop now anyway. I just wonder whether it would be one less thing to obsess over and think about . I have just seen so many great looking charts not end in pregnancy and some pregnancy charts that just look sooo wrong! I can't believe I'm saying this!!! Charting brigade!! What do you think?

Oyster oh no! That's not ideal. But you will be prefers before then anyway lovely!! Wink

Hi knit oh preggers one! how's it going?!? Grin

spinningirl10 · 26/03/2015 14:33

Hi Knit, how are you feeling?

Sparkly, it's just awful, how can anyone do that deliberately Sad

It's a difficult one with the temping. I think it's fab if you always temp at the same time without uninterrupted sleep but I doubt there's many of us that fall into that category. I like to see my temp rise confirming ov but not sure I'll keep it up much longer once I've seen that.

Sparkly123 · 26/03/2015 14:35

Spinning all I was ever told was dh sperm count .. No idea what the morphology etc is! I only heard about that on here. But everyone else is clued up so hopefully they will come along and help you! Grin

spinningirl10 · 26/03/2015 14:49

Thanks Sparkly, I've been advised on the April thread to ask about Motility and Morphology. Still waiting for a phone call!

spinningirl10 · 26/03/2015 14:50

I am bursting for a weeBlush got to hold it in for an hour until I'm home and can poas(opk)

spinningirl10 · 26/03/2015 15:01

Oyster, poor dh, fx you get bfp before he has his op.

Sparkly123 · 26/03/2015 15:24

Hope they call soon Spinning eeek cross those legs, nothing worse!

Sparkly123 · 26/03/2015 15:25

Oyster I obviously meant you will be pregggers NOT prefers! Stupid phone!! Hope dh ok Flowers

spinningirl10 · 26/03/2015 16:04

Wise ladies I have dp's motility and morphology results, any advice or advice appreciatedSmile
Morphology 5% this seems ok as she said they like to see it at greater than 4.5.
Motility 1.2 million
I've already had the sperm count which we know is lower than we would like. Dp is having another sperm test in a few weeks.

Oysterbabe · 26/03/2015 16:32

Thanks for all the best wishes, hopefully he'll recover quick!

No idea re spermies spinning. Hopefully someone knowledgeable will be along shortly!

spinningirl10 · 26/03/2015 16:58

Thanks oyster, Lucie is advising me on the April bus. They should have given me the motility count in percentages, for how many are living etc. I've left another message with them to call me!

DizzyMerry · 26/03/2015 17:03

Hope they get back to you soon spinning nothing worse than waiting.
No smiley on opk this afternoon so will try again in the evening because I still have loads of ewcm and strong pains in my right side, which is a first for me

PurdeyPie · 26/03/2015 17:33

I don't understand the reference to 1.2 million for motility, Spinning. You need a percentage of sperms that are swimming in the right direction, not how many per ml!

I have had another three-second sensation of vague AF 'dragging' down my thighs. I genuinely wish AF would just hurry its tardy ass along. Mind you (and I know you won't believe this), this morning, as I endured the sixteenth rendition of 'B-I-N-G-O...B-I-N-G-O...and Bingo was his name-o!' on the nipper's DVD - at 5.30am - I just knew I didn't want another Hmm I do wonder sometimes whether it is less a case of me aching for another baby and more that I am desperate for my forty-three-year-old body to be able to do this, you know?

spinningirl10 · 26/03/2015 17:41

Purdey, this waiting for af is just the worst head f*ck!! I hate it! I'm with you on those endless awful kids programmes. I hated them. See if you can pick up some Disney ones in the charity shops, they're halfway bearable!

You would think the bloody fertility clinic could give me proper results in % rather than numbers wouldn't you!! I didn't realise until I googled that the number means nothingConfused oh well, have to wait until tomorrow for them to call me now.
