Bumstats! Love it Juney - and thank you for putting it together so efficiently.

Reading back to catch up with the news after I had a lovely long lie in in bed this morning. DH got back in from his work thing at about 2am and I then really struggled to get back to sleep. Had some acute stabby/pinching pains low down that I've never felt before at one point . Temp this morning same as yesterday and now 11DPO.

Mrsb, glad you've been able to talk things through with dh. This is such a difficult journey it's important to keep communicating.

Merry, thanks for sharing your story. It's really good to hear positive outcomes from tough times. Let's face it, we all have them.

Juney and Purdey, sorry for the temp drops i was really hoping you would both get your bfps this month. Juney will you be ordering more sperm?

Haha Blueberry, I'm not great with technology

Oh, bless you, Pixa (I'm sorry I missed your debut on t'buzz..welcome! ), no I was not offended by your dream talk just bored

I'm really sorry for those for whom AF has arrived. It's shit.

I'm sorry I've neglected you all, my friends. Yesterday I was busy cooking and baking for my bezzie's visit for the evening (Eskimo, I made that gluten-free mashed potato lemon drizzle cake! It is the moistest thing I've ever tasted, with a lovely subtle flavour BUT..at the end of the day, it tastes like lemon-flavoured mash. It's almost too mashy, if you get my drift. I also refused to drizzle it; I don't like the bouldery granulated sugar atop drizzle cakes so I didn't bovver, just had it with custard instead ).

This cycle is also doing my head in (AF still not here and no symptoms or cramps either). I need AF to arrive as I have my arse invaded on Monday with a camera. I'm hoping they'll find the missing remote control

Oh no! Don't think I'm on the stats list as I haven't posted them, but I don't know what cycle I'm on or anything about a BFP as everything is all a bit uncertain at the moment

Oooh lemon-flavoured mash Purdey Interesting. I like the idea of lemon-flavoured mash wiv custard. It's like a parallel universe version of mash and gravy. I need to get my bake on :) I might make my FIL a cake, but it needs to be a healthy one as he is quite overweight and has high blood pressure. Any ideas?

I have just shaved DH's head for the first time in 3 months. It was getting waaaay out of hand. I have now resumed my natural position on the sofa. I'm having a lazy arse day today and I don't care! Might head up for a bath in a bit.

Juney No he wasn't looking like Voldie... bit I defo would've bragged after that id shagged Lord Voldemort. I mean, had it been real....

Dizzymerry Thanks for sharing your story. You and dh must be solid as a rock. So nice to hear that tough times can be overcome if you stick with it.

Dizzynorthern I think dh just prefers to know when he's needed rather than me spring it on him at random. Think he feels abit used if I just say 'Heres a brew, drink up quick though cos I'll need your jizz in 10 mins". He likes to be in the loop.

Spinning the FECK (fertilized egg conception kit) machine is going nicely. Well... I havemt actually started anything yet, but in my head it works already.

Can I have my own lab on the bus to work on it?

How is everyone else today?

Heir I wouldn't wanna find out either but dh would. We didn't find out last time so this time he thinks it his tune to get his own way. Bahhh!

Dizzy, you FIL must've had bellenditis to have not liked you. You're lovely. Do you mind divulging what your issues were that caused subfertility for three years? Ignore, ignore, ignore if you don't want to. I love it when OH's stand up for their partners. Anything less shouldn't be tolerated. I feel strongly that a man should love his wife more than his parents. Women, on the other hand..oof! The love we have for our mums (some of us)! I'm not sure I could love a man more than me mam.

Oyster, I am sure you are pregnant How utterly exciting!

Toadie, what's a ninja test?

I fucking hate the Hardkashians and would dearly love to see the entire self-entitled, talentless family blown up on Rodeo Drive by Jihadi terrorists. There. I've said it. Fat Kim's arse is one of the most grotesque pieces of human tissue I have ever seen (and I've watched a lot of grisly murder documentaries). It is what I hate most about modern society; this slavish attention we give to fuckwit airheads who are - when you strip away the eyelashes and the industrial Spanx and the three-inch make-up - simply vacuous dullards. Grr.

Mrsb I'm quite sure our mils must have been separated at birth. Sparkly good thinking on the fillet of fish.

Blueberry awwwwww so pleased for you, a little baby boy how wonderful.

Sparkly I'm warming up to drill I have sewing machine out at the mo!

So I've just had to go out and buy hot x buns thanks to you lot. Yum. And I need to now go to Mauritius or NZ. Preferably alone.

wotsit proper lolz. I had a bizarre sex dream about my politics teacher at school recently, 18 years after leaving school. He was short, bald and had milk bottle glasses. I had that weird low sicky feeling in my tummy afterwards for ages, like I KNEW it was wrong... Eurgh.

oyster that's all sounding really positive! Fx for you, roll on Monday.

purdey sorry about the temp drop...you could just be cold?

So. BFN for me today, cd35. But I possibly ov'd late. Just checked my cervix, cos I only just read about that, and it's really high, soft and closed. And there's creamy white cm in there. Thoughts....?

Also - major TMI - I just wet myself. Pants, jeans, the lot. Was sat on sofa, thought, I need a wee. Went straight upstairs and I was drenched. Bizarre. what's happening to me??

Sparkly, yay! to morning AI and yes! do it again tonight..mix it up a little! When will you ov, do you know? What do you mean it was 'successful this time'? Did I miss some kind of catheter catastrophe between pages 6 & 10?

MrsB, I'm with your MIL on the forrin muck. 'Nobu' is a profane word round my gaff.

Ralph Fiennes is pig ugly, IMO, although not as wretched-looking as Benedict Thundersnatch. That man could make babies cry.

Oh, and true story - my DH once rubbed arses with Ralph Fiennes at a wedding.

And I agree purdey, I'd vom if Cumbersnatch came within 50ft of me. Do not get it.

I'm not into Ralph either. I have weird taste I think. Lots of my friends generally like certain celebs that don't interest me at all! Johnny Depp is the one for me. My fav films growing up were beetlejuice, cry baby and Edward scissorhands so... love Tim burton I do!

Purds yes you missed it, Cath came back on itself and all of my lovely healthy day in between built up sample came out I think.. I think tonight might be a goer!! Where is your AF? Where?!?!

Hello!! Can I join the mega bus please?!! Fab idea!

Miserable weather here today too...I so wish I could eat a hot cross bun, or two

Last night I somehow slept on my back with the cat curled up on my stomach....SYMPTOM!!!!!! Haha!! I haven't even ovulated yet, but think it's a sure sign of a big fertile egg about to make an appearance

whatforye you wet your pants?! What?! Me too.. But mine was just a load Of preseed! Could you be preggers?! Are you usually a 28 day cycle?

tessie hi!! Yes! Totally a sign this is your month

Oooh spinning will have a look at the granola. I currently make my own using a recipe from the 'clean and lean' recipe book, but it works out quite pricey as you only get four portions and there's a load of nuts in there.

Err sorry sparkly but I'm not allowing you to renege my title! , I do a lot of cooking, nearly all of our dinners are cooked from scratch, I'm just a bit lame when it comes to baking!

Hi everyone,
Whoop whoop for the forever bus, I like hanging out with you guys, don't have many RL friends these days.
Don't get me started on my FIL thankfully he lives 10,000 miles away.
mrsb what about pie and mash with that horrible green stuff on.
Been waiting for ff to confirm ov, still nothing temps look a bit iffy, not sure if I've been sleeping properly, does it make much difference, otherwise maybe no Ov?
Hope every one has a nice week, especially those who have been having a tough time of it.

Hi tessie, def a sign! Cats are baby psychics. And crazy.

sparkly er, yeah. Weird, huh? I've only had 2 AFs since DD1 was born nearly 2 years ago so no real idea what my cycle length is now (was 33 days between the last 2). Was seriously odd though (the pissing). I wasn't even desperate. But everything was soaked in a gush just as I got to the loo.

Think I may have only ov'd early last week, which would make me 5dpo ish.

Freak, that's me .

The granola recipe makes loads Dizzy, keeps me going for ages
It's not the same consistency of shop bought crap but it's delicious.

Watching Kardsahians, haha dtd on a set cos it's ov time. She's as crazy as us

Whatye, I'm also leaking loads today but it's ov time so quite normal for me. Fx it's a good sign for you. I've had the strongest lines in my opks this cycle!

On the subject of sexy men I am loving Ross Poldark

Hi Sparkly!

I will check out the granola too Spinning - although I made the Deliciously Ella winter green soup and it was rank [confusing]

Sorry, completely forgot to give my stats just then:

tessiegirl, 31, ttc #1, cycle 5, bfp due 10th March

Haha no the postie looked like a greying bilbo baggins! Bless him. He brought my package out and I said is that it ? Went to reach it and he caught sight of boob.

That'll teach me for going out wearing pumps, leggings and no Knicks the tank top I slept in and no over the shoulder boulder holder.

purple if that was my chart I'd be thinking ov was cd17, but your pos opk has confused me?!

whatsfor I would say that's definitely a symptom. Also I keep meaning to ask, what was your username before? I've obviously missed the name change while I was over on April bus which is one of the reasons two buses used to do my head in

Here are a piccy of the buns...

I have never watched The Kardashians but absolutely love the Real Housewives...all the series!!! So bloody addictive! I like to watch them when I am doing the ironing/cleaning, makes it half bearable!

Loving Poldark too Spinning although I thought the sex scene last Sunday was going to be a bit steamier that it was after what the papers made out! I said to DH 'is that it?!' I have become a filthy bitch with this ttc lark clearly....
