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!

Hello everyone! I haven't been able to get on the mumsnet site all morning so just trying to have a quick catch up now...

Oh Sparkly what an absolute kerfuffle....crap nurse! Doesn't give you much faith in these people, does it? Sooooooo pleased your tubes are clear, I hope that pain during your HSG was kind of worth it to get this knowledge. Although as Purdey says, we already knew they were clear as you got a bfp in January! I hate the way these 'professionals' make you feel as though you were lying about having a bfp, bloody awful.

Oh Purdey, I feel for you having to fast....when I had my boobs done I wasn't allowed anything from the night before the op...and the plan was that my op was scheduled for late morning...of course sod's law kicked in and they had a couple of procedures that had taken longer than thought so it created a back log of all ops for that day! I was still sat there in my sexy gown at 5pm bloody starving so I admit I had a sneaky couple of biscuits and more water than I should have done and thankfully I was ok.... Blush

tessiegirl · 02/04/2015 12:58

Yay! Rainy for lack of spotting!! Absolutely fantastic!!

Glad you felt reassured at your meeting Glittery Smile

So, after getting my crosshairs yesterday, I put in this mornings temp and FF has now changed my ov date from CD18 to CD16 and given me dashed crosshairs! FFS! WHY?!!!! Angry

GlitteryLipgloss1 · 02/04/2015 13:16

Butterchunks - hahahaha!

V401 - Kind of, I am at the very beginning of the journey I think it was an information evening there to speak to a consultant, see what they do, how it's performed, they stressed they always start with a sperm test as 25% of cases it's the male with lazy sperm. To be honest I took DH so he could see and hear what can cause it, he isn't as absorbed in the technologies as I am, think he is very much like my mum, stick to the shagging and cross your fingers type. Where as I am - what the fuck is wrong with me - type.

I have my transvag on the 18th April hopefully I wont need that appointment. (please please please)

Urgh Pixa - baby bombs are awful. I had one yesterday which turned out to be an April Fools joke.

Sparkly - your nurse will end up with a complaint one day if she doesn't buck her ideas up. Can you request to speak to someone else? or does it have to be her?

Tessie - I don't bother with FF anymore. I just aint got the patience with apps lately.

Nomio230 · 02/04/2015 13:18

Sparkly, that nurse sounds absolutely useless. I don't understand how such incompetent people keep their jobs. It is brilliant that you know your tubes are all ok though. After you get your BFP this month you won't have to deal with nurse stupid any more. Easter Grin

Pixa, hugs. Baby bombing is the worst.

Glittery, are you thinking of going down the IVF route?

Tessie, that is why I stopped temping. FF just seems to change your dates all the time which is really confusing. Plus I rarely got 3 hours solid sleep.

Purdey, that sounds like a long time to go without food. Are you allowed things like fruit juice or milkshakes, or is it just water?

Rainy, great news about the spotting. FX for next month.

CD15 & I got my smiley face today, so am really pleased we DTD last night. I think we will do it today & then the next two days just to cover ourselves. Pretty good timing. I foresee a weekend of shagging & chocolate eating. Yay!

Sparkly123 · 02/04/2015 13:19

Good luck this cycle Glitterpants has your dh had a SA? yes it has to be her. She's the fertility sister so she deals with everyone. Easter Angry

Tessie boobalicious! BiscuitBiscuit oh and let us see your chart love?

Sparkly123 · 02/04/2015 13:22

Nomio your weekend sounds ideal lovely!!! Easter Grin unfortunately she is my point of contact.. So if I do get a BFP I have to call her immediately apparently and go in?! No idea why. Is it do with the mc? Dunno. Either way. I'm stuck with her for now I think!

Come on BFP! I want to believe the post HSG BFP chances. Easter Grin

DizzyMerry · 02/04/2015 14:29

Purdey I'm afraid I can't reassure you about the fasting. It does seen like a long time to go without food. I struggle with the usual 10 hours of fasting which they have asked of me in the past. Sorry, I'm no help at all!

Glitter brill news about the spotting. Not long to go now for that bfp

Sparkly that nurse sounds quite annoying and not with it! Can you ask to speak to someone else? I have also heard that after a hsg there is a bigger chance of preg within the 3 months. You won't need the IVF and I really hope this is the month for you. Oh just read she is your point of contact. Well you won't need to put up with her for long.

I'm have my bloods and can ring my GP next weds/thurs for the results. It was quite and I was in and out in 5 mins

GlitteryLipgloss1 · 02/04/2015 15:20

Dh has his SA on the 12th May. He has to take the morning off of work and have a rub then get it to the clinic within the hour AND keep it body temperature...so if you see an Italian hairy man on the news for speeding on the 12th May you will know why hahahaha xx

spinningirl10 · 02/04/2015 15:28

Glittery, your meeting sounds very informative. Good to have taken dh along so that he could hear it from the horses mouth. I sometimes think men just think we go on and onSmile Good luck to your dh with his SA, dp found a loo at the hospital and did his there as he was worried about traffic!

I can't see any charts, I'll have to pop on and look at them the other way.

Sparkly, yay for ov and it sounds like your bfp could be coming your way really soon! The nurse is crap!!! I'm 5/6 dpo, loads of cm today but I've had that at this stage before. Temps are pretty shit, I'll attach my chart when I go to the other page.

Nomio, yay for positive opk and just in time for the weekendGrin

Rainy, sorry af's arrived but yay for no spotting.

Victoria, 4 teeth at once, ouch!!

Purdey, that is so long to fastHmm don't have any advice sorry, it sounds truly shit!

spinningirl10 · 02/04/2015 15:35

Aurora, good to see your crosshairs, are you taking anything to try and lengthen your lp?

Dizzy, are your temps quite accurate? You have some open circles there and some days when didn't use an opk.

Sparkly, yay for ov and loads of AI there!

spinningirl10 · 02/04/2015 15:36

Here's my chart. How do you all add yours? I'm always on my phone so I photograph it an add it.

DizzyNorthernBird · 02/04/2015 15:43

Thanks for looking spinning, the solid circles are taking when I'm working and get up at 6am, the others are on days off or when im working late and I set my alarm for 7am and take them before I go back to sleep. I have to do 7am because some of my late shifts mean I might not get 4 hours sleep if I wake at 6am. The missing opk's- either I didn't do one or ive not bothered inputting it because it was negative.

spinningirl10 · 02/04/2015 15:48

Ah I see dizzy, working shifts must be a nightmare when you're trying to temp! Are you thinking that you didn't ov? I know ff thinks that but we know it's not always right and you had ewcm. Ttc is so frustrating at times!

DizzyNorthernBird · 02/04/2015 15:58

Yes it's convinced me I havent ov'd! But I also have zero symptoms and I don't have the usual crampy boobs and uterus that I'd get after ov. I have ordered a new thermometer to try just in case mine is faulty though. I'm working night shifts for 4 nights from tonight so my chart is only going to get worse Sad

purdeypie · 02/04/2015 18:17

Dizzy, are you sure that isn't a picture of my nan's heart monitor just before she carked it?

Abi, I'm sorry you're gutted. How long have you been TTC? Would you like to join the bus proper? The initiation is a simple one: sit on the back row and then pull a mooney when a graduation coach full of preggos goes past Biscuit

Oyster, apparently I can drink limitless cups of black tea or 'watery soup'. What do they think I am? A death row inmate at Camp 22, North Korea?

Giddymamma · 02/04/2015 18:28

I thought that was you's lot screaming past us on the motorway. Easter Grin

MelonMelon · 02/04/2015 18:32

Thanks for all your messages earlier. I'm feeling ok now. Have done something positive and donated to the miscarriage association as have my 2 closest friends which I thought was lovely of them. No sign of AF yet.

victoria401 · 02/04/2015 19:02

Lol at abi's initiation ritual!

How long you been ttc glittery? Have you just started tests? It took us 8 or 9 months from start of tests to the end mind! Lots of luck.

melon how lovely of you my sweet x

Oh about the SA's.... Do your clinics not have rooms to hire? Ours does!

Oysterbabe · 02/04/2015 19:04

Get yourself some nice miso soup purdey you'll be fine Smile

Here it seems that ding dong the witch is dead so OH might get some action later, start getting him warmed up for when it actually matters.

mrsb0710 · 02/04/2015 19:12

sparkly sorry you've had it a bit shit with that nurse. Hope you sorted her out!

Woke up feeling extremely nauseous, dizzy, faint, and the smell of food makes me gag. Also think I had an implant bleed. 9/10 dpo. Too early to test and trying not to be overly excited.

auroraboringalis · 02/04/2015 19:30

dizzy love the steep rise there. It's like you've been heading through the bumpy badlands and suddenly hit the Rockies! Grin I think a chart-off is defo on! Easter Grin
spinning yes doing b6 at 100 a day. Hadn't done much for me last cycle but I'll keep trying and taking them. Was considering getting some otc progesterone cream too but for some or other reason really worried about taking that. Scared it'll make my boobs fall off or something! Easter Hmm

Nomio230 · 02/04/2015 19:31

Sounds exciting Mrsb! When will you test?

mrsb0710 · 02/04/2015 19:32

I'll hold.off for a few days. DH is home Sunday so maybe then.

auroraboringalis · 02/04/2015 19:36

mrsb -- the most patient MNetter ever! Easter Grin

auroraboringalis · 02/04/2015 19:37

I'm overdoing the grinny bunnies aren't i? But they are soo-oooo cute!
