If you can keep up with a bus that fills up in one weekend and chat shit then jump aboard the bus you are never allowed to leave! Trying to set a target for most BFPs on one bus!

No LPBs allowed!

And in trying not to upset people... I've upset people. I'm sorry. Sad

Pixa, don't be daft, this is a lovely, welcoming, kind and helpful bus. Stay where you are. With all your Tupperware. X

Mrsb, thank you, didn't know, will look at Dojo's fb page. Xx

My almighty strop was a joke btw people! I love you all :)

Beansprout30 · 01/04/2015 09:00

Congrats sweets

cremedecacao · 01/04/2015 09:01

Yay! I knew it Sweets Smile

Agree with others, I like having those with BFPs stick about. In a funny way it makes me hopeful.

Not this month though! No AF but also no BFP and no symptoms! I'm twiddling my thumbs with tampax at the ready.

Pixa · 01/04/2015 09:10

Good luck Abi

Thank you Giddy I will hope my tupperware doesn't need it's on seat...

I got my birthday news - I am going to see Einaudi play at Blenheim Palace. Couldn't be more excited!!!

MaMaPo · 01/04/2015 09:14

I think as those pregnant bus members get further along they'll gravitate naturally to a proper antenatal thread. There are so many random experiences in pregnancy that you want to share and ask about.

I don't mind bfps sticking around but won't you get bored?! I find ttc unbelievably boring. And ttc feels like a very specific, stressful thing.

Anyway. I missed out on lunch today so have dispatched the husband to get pizza and wine. He is bloody great.

victoria401 · 01/04/2015 09:31

Just caught up on all of last night and this morning as I was out. I'm not liking what's happening in here. I didn't think the group would fall apart like this so soon. I thought the endless bus would be much better for everyone and it was meant to forge real friendships, like the FB group too. Of course I get it that some ttc-ers find it hard when others get their bfp, I've seen many people 'graduate' over the years.

Personally I think this MN bus should be just ttc and there should be a graduate bus to talk about preg symptoms. Nothing stopping the bfp-ers shaking their pom poms for us left here as long as they're not whinging about morning sickness! If we are friends on FB it will be inevitable that we will see pregnancy develope and babies and hopefully most of us won't be too far behind and we can get intimate advice from those who are in front, stuff we may not be able to ask our RL friends with kids. Group hug?

Good luck with the appointments sparkly and Eskimo. And yay for af and the Clomid cycles mamapo!

The sun is shining, there are buds and blossom on the trees, daffodils in the front gardens. Life is good yes?

purdeypie · 01/04/2015 09:47

I'm with MaMaPo, except I think it's absurd to stay on a TTC bus when you're pregnant in any capacity other than a lurker. If you have a child already - or are only, like, three months into TTC - it's easy to say you would like differs to stick around. If, however, your journey is becoming long and arduous, and everyone around you in RL is seemingly falling pregnant and rubbing their bumps and chatting pregnancy shit, it is horrid. TTCers need a safe place to talk about trying to get pregnant. There are grad threads for pregnant folk who really do not belong on a TTC thread. We will be able to contact you all over there, because we really do love you. No-one wants to lose the laughter and generosity people like Giddy and Pug have brought to the buses, but it will be increasingly tough for both them and us to not talk about their pregnancies Thanks

Whoever put their bump photo up on the April bus is an insensitive twat.

Almost as insensitive are those strangers who come on here to say: 'Guess what? I'm due to test tomorrow! Don't know any of you; don't give a flying fuck about you neither, but wanted to join a bus because I know full well I'll be preggo tomorrow when I test and I need somewhere to crow about it!' The only support these women have ever known is the kind they wear on a long-haul flight. To them I say: do fuck off, dear.

Eskimo and Sparkly, much love for today Thanks

Mummyofonesofar · 01/04/2015 09:47

Lovely positive post there Victoria the sun is shining here too - after yesterdays awful weather - but it is meant to rain later - raining on your parade much?!

Pleased to see you posting again *Purdey. I have missed your wise words!

purdeypie · 01/04/2015 10:00

Pixa, you are inordinately lovely. I have been reading somewhat and I love everyone here so I was never going to stay away for long; I just need to spend less time here Smile Your Blenheim experience sounds fabulous - but I have no idea who Einaudi is/are! I do hope you don't bump into that alcoholic sop, though, Jamie Blandford! Grin

victoria401 · 01/04/2015 10:04

Rain later? Nooooooo! I'm still in my pj's (day off work, wooo!), best get dressed and get out in the sun for a walk with my camera birdspotting, don't judge me Don't want it to rain on my parade ;-)

Oysterbabe · 01/04/2015 10:09

It's bound to rain later as I was hoping to go to the allotment after work.

CD4 here, heavy AF. This bit of the month is so fucking boring!! and I have poor OH spooning up to me in bed hopefully. No chance I'm afraid.

purdeypie · 01/04/2015 10:17

Oyster, DH & I had some pretty great sex last night and all I could think as he was howling through his ejaculation was 'What a bloody waste.' I'm CD3 Hmm

Oysterbabe · 01/04/2015 10:18

Haha Smile

Mummyofonesofar · 01/04/2015 10:23

well worded post Purdey, very eloquently put about LPBs - "Lesser posting bitch" for anyone unaware of the definition......

victoria401 · 01/04/2015 10:26

I wish me and dh could have great sex.... Can't remember the last time we had sex sex, not ttc sex. That's bad right?

victoria401 · 01/04/2015 10:27

Ah! I remembered! It was Xmas day after a few tipples! That's not so long ago right? Hmm

Oysterbabe · 01/04/2015 10:30

victoria401 · 01/04/2015 10:38

I'm sure we will have plenty when we are chilled and relaxed on our holiday next month Grin

Mummyofonesofar · 01/04/2015 10:39

Victoria you need sex sex! Should have had some after your date night recently. We only had sex as I complained we hadn't had any in the tww at all and spotting had started so wanted to "get a go in" before AF arrived. But due to having none in the tww it was over far too quickly sulk and moan Glad you had some good sex though Purdey Envy

He is working all hours at the min so very tired every night and can't be bothered. He will have to calm down the working when ov is due - but that is a while away as I am also on cd3.

juneybean · 01/04/2015 10:50

I love you purdey

I also love einaudi!

Tbh I thought the mega bus was for TTCer who didn't want to move to another bus once getting their period as they'd made friends. But what do I know.
