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.

Dojo - that's really tough. It will be your turn soon lovely. Glad your dh is looking after you, sending hugs Xx

Giddymamma · 26/03/2015 22:30

Oh dojo. You poor love. I'm sorry. Next month. Xxx

DizzyMerry · 26/03/2015 22:31

Don't be sorry dojo that sounds tough Flowers. You will be next

dojo123 · 26/03/2015 22:33

Thanks juney I'm not the jealous sort and in normal circumstances I would giddy for them. Of course I showed my delight for them but I felt really flat after the call.

Anyway enough about my, how are you doing?

dojo123 · 26/03/2015 22:48

Thanks sammy, giddy and dizzy

eskimolaura · 26/03/2015 22:48

dojo That sucks balls. Sorry. Just think though- it will be your turn soon and then mini dojo will have cousins very close in age and they will all have lots of fun together Flowers

I have just discovered much more EWCM on the loo roll. It wasn't there yesterday- thought it had all dried up. Maybe when I go for my US, they will be able to see if I've ovulated? Or will it be too late as it's 6 days away?

PurdeyPie · 26/03/2015 22:50

dojo, enormous sympathy for your maelstrom of emotions there. It's not bloody fair, but your grace and kindness is obvious and I can't wait for you to get your bfp.

night, how old are you...fifty? What's with the ecclesiastical dinner guests?

I'm still waiting for my period. No bloating. No cramps. Not a spot of red or brown. No raging pre-AF appetite, nothing. Sigh.

awww dojo. Its so hard (even if it is someone you love dearly). It will absolutely be your turn soon! And you'll be pregnant and getting to practice nappy changes on your new nephews or nieces.

Thank you all for the kind wishes for my friend. I was so jealous when she told me she was pregnant... and then had an awful panic this morning for her. She's been reassured and has a little picture of her jellybean too.

Its a lot calmer on this bus tonight. Are we all in the zen den? Can we have a yoga room on the bus. Yoga is my fave part of the week. Shavasana is basically the one time of the week I get to nap without feeling guilty. Every week I have a good 15 minute snooze. Its awesome. Its even worth enduring all that flexibility crap for.

Maybe we could just have a nap room? That would work too....

DizzyNorthernBird · 26/03/2015 23:01

Errrr so I don't come on here for two days and you're now over 400 posts into a new thread? Wtf ladies! Can anyone give me a news summary?

Giddymamma · 26/03/2015 23:03

Hi dizzy! Key thing is I am late for my deadline of drawing angry pubes. (Sorry pug).

There's been some other stuff about mucus and that.

wotsits1 · 26/03/2015 23:13

Dizzy were all shacking up on amn bus. Dhs can deliver their spermz via dhl. Bus will have a nutella cellar and a zen den, and a few perspex swinging chairs (but not sec swings). The bus' theme tune is 'Angry Pubes'.

Oh and Purdey nicked a creme egg Wink

PurdeyPie · 26/03/2015 23:22

Don't talk to me about yoga. Did that bullshit right up until the day I laboured. Made not a scintilla of difference to the excruciating torture. Breathing control? Pa hahahahahahahahaha!!

Giddymamma · 26/03/2015 23:38

ooooh yes wotsits! Put the mats down in the room, the yogis will come. We can turn the relaxing music right up so we can't hear purdey in the hallway shouting about how rubbish it is. Grin

Here's a first world problem for you. I ordered one of those little bean bags scented with lavender that you drape on your tird eyeballs at the end of a class. Awesome for me, also a sensory toy for the little chap. Gone missing in post. Pah.

DizzyNorthernBird · 26/03/2015 23:44

Angry pubes? Eh?!

purdey's a thief?!

What on earth has been going on in here!!

Butterchunks · 27/03/2015 00:39

Evening all. Dp has excelled himself this evening. Despite a stinking cold and spending all day hauling furniture for a friend moving house, Mr butterchunks remained dedicated to the task of providing me with some spunk. During the act I suggested that maybe we should do too much kissing (to avoid them there germs), but suggested he use his mouth to instead talk dirty.

The filthy beast looked me in the eyes, pulled me closer and seductively whispered..........

"cobwebs"

I love him.

Butterchunks · 27/03/2015 00:41

*shouldn't do too much kissing

Sparkly123 · 27/03/2015 00:43

Mrsb glad consult went well, hope so much you can make that call soon!! Good things are under control and you can get out there and live your life, albeit with some limitations I'm sure. BFP on the way! Grin

Sammy I think conception issues are def more common than we realise when we first TTC yep!!

Spinning how annoying they gave you stupid wrong info!! Urgh!!! Another flashing smiley for me today but missed today to build a good lot of spermies for Tomor!! Hoping for a flashing or peak then!! Hope you get yours too!!

Pug sexy chart! Grin

Eskimo great news you are getting a scan! Everyone has already filled you in so no point in me going over it all again but I agree the probe hardly goes in and it's much easier than a smear! You will be fine Grin I'm glAd you have a good relationship with your sil and can confide in her about TTC. It must really help. Flowers

Sammy is it external or internal scan??

Nomio Mmm see I just don't know re temping.. Should I/shouldn't i.. I can't decide whether to bite the bullet and give it up or not!!! Do you feel less stressed not having to do it and follow your chart every cycle? Glad to hear today went as ok as possible, I know your lovely self would have been a rock for your family Flowers

dojo oh no that's hard lovely. Totally understand how you are feeling and completely natural. Especially as September would have been it for you too. Have a cry! You need to. And then bounce back, like you will.. You will soon be joining them with announcements. It will happen! Sending Flowers

Sparkly123 · 27/03/2015 00:59

melon been there, done that! Various times! Oh I love an internal exam! I always find it fascinating that they can pretty much fit their whole hand in there! Ooooft!

purdey... purdey ... Purdey Purdeypie... You want a sibling for Nancy. You do. You have said it many a time. You are trying EVERY month... Despite all this -the odds are against you, one tube, age related statistics- chat that you fire out!... You are still determined.. You still continue and I know you will keep going because you do want that baby. And I know singing along to B-I-N-G-O for Nancy and her little brother or sister is a blessing that you want to experience. It's just these rubbish days where AF is being a bitch, temping, cm.. The whole shebang, just gets all a bit Urgh Confused -you want out of that I think. Not the actual baby part.
I think.
Right?
Right Grin
I told you, I'm going to see you get that BFP. If anyone deserves it, you do my lovely Flowers

(The rest of you all deserve a BFP too by the way, best clarify that before I'm banished to the cellar. Hmm)

Giddymamma · 27/03/2015 05:04

Ha butter!

And sparkly, you're the only person I know (apart from spinning) who would consider being sent to the. Nutella cellar a punishment. Grin

PurdeyPie · 27/03/2015 05:47

Still no period

...and before you ask, no..I have not tested again.

Ahhhhh! Butterchunks, I like that Smile

Sparkly, yes of course I want anuvver tot. DH & I will be dead soon and I don't want her being raised by Staffies on the estate, Seriously though, I've been up since 4.25am and she is pushing her luck. Three times I've asked her to put that knife down but does she take a blind bit of notice?

Mummyofonesofar · 27/03/2015 06:28

Forgot to take my temp this morning. I have poapot, should I dip my stick? I'm 10dpo.

loopylou1984 · 27/03/2015 06:41

Oh Purds, where is af?? What did your temperature do this morning?

Sparkly - I'm not sure, the letter doesn't specify and as far as I knew it was an internal as when I called the hospital to say if prob have af then they let me change it.. Then I read about people on here who had both and wondered if I should have asked?

The cat woke me up early this morning (basically the middle of the night at 4.30) by jumping up and banging on the door handle of the room he was shut in so has totally messed up my temps! Xx

loopylou1984 · 27/03/2015 06:41

Mummyofone - don't do it, still too early! Xx

Oysterbabe · 27/03/2015 06:42

If you've got some tests knocking about then why not? I'm in bed but contemplating getting up and doing the same. I'm 11DPO but AF due tomorrow. temp is still high.
