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.

...either way, a 15- or 16-day LP when not on Clomid is just madness.

My chart is not looking good :(

www.fertilityfriend.com/home/jefnerf

I think I'm probably 11dpo rather than 12 like it says... but I did POAS and it was BFN this morning :(

juneybean · 27/03/2015 13:17

when was your egg white purds?

Sparkly123 · 27/03/2015 13:19

Purds ok I can see what you mean re AF if you remove ewcm. But why would you? If it was there?? Why?! Doesn't make sense!!! Urghhhh!!! And why do you have such a long LP without Clomid?! Honestly I'm baffled. I just don't get it!!!!

Sparkly123 · 27/03/2015 13:19

Spinning if it was me I would skip tonight and do Tomor to give spermies a chance. But that's me. Smile

Sparkly123 · 27/03/2015 13:20

I think I'm going to stop bbt charting

There I said it.
Purds this is torture for you. Arghhh! Confused

ThePug · 27/03/2015 13:21

Sorry I abandoned you all last night - DH wanted to sit and watch TV together as I'd been away 3 days and he is out tonight on a work do. Which was nice and all, but meant I couldn't check in on you lot.

Dojo I would feel exactly the same. Does your family know about your mc? It will be your turn very soon, I'm sure.

Mrsb I hope you can have a proper talk with DH tonight and get things sorted. Just remember that the baby will not know whether they are in a flat, a 3 bed house or a castle! As long as they are loved, fed and looked after they will be just fine.

night What did you cook for the vicar?

Oyster No, it was too early to test! Back away! Same for you mummy

Purdey What are your usual pre-AF symptoms? Do you have any of them?

I had a slight temp drop this morning but nothing major. And the bloody thermometer wasn't working properly so it took me 4 goes of switching it on, sticking it in my gob and waiting for ages and ages before it actually took a reading.

WhatsForYeWontGoByYe · 27/03/2015 13:21

I'd just keep right on with it, spinning - get as much of them swimmers in there as you can!

Juney, I am so, so sorry Sad How do you feel? I know that's a ridiculous question but..what's the next step? Please tell me you'll put notices up at uni. Or at least tell us what is stopping you.

EWCM appeared two days ago. It was proper translucent and stretchy, not the pale green dangly snot-like stuff I occasionally get in the 2ww. There was only a little bit put I could stretch it off the bog roll.

Hi pug :) I did a tomato, basil and parmesan quiche with herby roasted new potatoes and steamed veg. Followed by lemon cheesecake.

The April bus last year kept going so I can't see why we couldn't!

Hairstylisttoboris · 27/03/2015 13:26

Hiya I'm in a better mood today :) catching up on all your news.

MrsB sorry Flowers I think we need to put together a Ttc course for partners to help them cope.

Purdey where did af go then? Careless thing to miss place... Fx for a bfp...

ThePug · 27/03/2015 13:26

Juney Just seen your update. I think it's too early to test still so don't lose hope completely.

Spinning If it was a chore last night I'd suggest giving tonight a miss too. Then break out some sexy moves on Saturday Wink

spinningirl10 · 27/03/2015 13:29

Purdey, a day late! It's so unfair of af to mess you it's coming, I'm still hoping for your miracle and with those temps it's looking good. I really only think temps are good for confirming ov!

MrsB, sorry you argued with dh. I don't think there's ever a 'right' time to have a baby. I hope you can talk through things with him later and sort it outThanks

Oyster, sorry it looks like a bfn. I wouldn't trust an ic over the time limit, I will keep fx that af stays away.

Juney, argh I hate those temp drops but it's been talked about a lot here in the last few days and I don't think it's 100% reliable that you're not pregnant so hang in there.

Dojo, sorry you're having a difficult time, we all have tough days on this roller coaster and it's totally understandable, Thanks for you.

Nomio, I think it's a good idea to stay on the same bus, I'm trying to straddle here and March and struggling to keep up with both!

victoria401 · 27/03/2015 13:30

I also agree that month buses should be scrapped! We decide these things, not MN so lets just do it!

Flowers to everyone as there seems to be some tough times at the end of this month x I'll be over on the April bus if anyone needs me!

Hairstylisttoboris · 27/03/2015 13:30

night the road to heaven is paved with quiche ....

toadierocks · 27/03/2015 13:31

AH dojo123 and mrbs massive hugs and Cake for you both

Reckon a mega bus is a great idea, I'm hovering over the April bus too as i'm sure AF is due but doing my best to hang around so me and Oyster can have a POAS party on Monday and try and get some BFP's before the month is out

Purds, yes its a little bonkers looking is the HCG calculator, I'm not a temp charter (ducks and hides) and I don't use FF but if you let me know your ov date, LMP date and usual LP lenght then I'll see if I can come up with a date for you to POAS again and get that BFP. oh also what sticks do you use? do you know what the sensitivity is?

Woolly84 · 27/03/2015 13:41

purdey that's so so frustrating, I'm sending out a search party for your AF/BFP!!
mrsb I hope you work things out with DH Flowers
dojo totally understand how you must have felt, hope you're better now. I'm feeling very sensitive today and the mention from someone at work about a pregnancy scan made me feel quite Sad

One bus sounds like a great idea, I think I'll have to move over soon anyway once AF arrives too scared to test

nightandthelight · 27/03/2015 13:45

Would set up the Bumsnet bus but am at work :(

Woolly84 · 27/03/2015 13:48

And I nominate night as the Bumsnet Bus head chef! Grin

Nomio230 · 27/03/2015 13:50

Shall we just start the angry pubes bus then & all refuse to ever leave?

Night, that sounds lovely. Can I come next time?!

Juney Sad. I so want you to get your little bean. Maybe you just have low HCG & so it is not showing yet.

Purds I can recommend sex to bring on AF. It always seems to work for me when I am late. If you are definitely not PG, at least you can get on to the next cycle. (Although I still have a little bit of hope that you are)

nightandthelight · 27/03/2015 13:51

What an honour woolly!

spinningirl10 · 27/03/2015 13:59

Yes yes yes let's just stay on this bus together SmileSmile

Sparkly123 · 27/03/2015 14:08

Eeek maybe I made a mistake starting later this month and missing last night!
Positive OPK alert!!! SmileTonight it Is! On the positive side.. Spermies have had a day to build up for the big one tonight right?!

spinningirl10 · 27/03/2015 14:14

Yay for the positive opk SparklyGrin I want one!!

Nomio, thanks for the angry pubes busSmile I'll tell the April thread. Should we fill this bus up first?
