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!

Pixa, don't you ever, like, rest? What's with the gym on Easter Sunday??

MrsB, my darling girl, don't cry, please Thanks Remind me when your mmc was. I'm trying to remember specifics but I can't, I'm sorry. You will get pregnant again for sure, and it will be a perfectly-formed, here-to-stay baby. It is imminent AF and her sidekick hormone cronies who are making you feel quite so desperate. Go and have your lovely day. Life goes on and nothing has changed, least of all your chance of becoming a mum. In fact, that time is another month closer xx

Pikz, believe you me, I will be getting every morsel of trivia from my friend and reporting back. I can tell you she is 40, ttc 9 or 10 months; stopped charting several months ago as we both agreed her chart showed 'anovulatory' cycles. She then went for a lap & dye and they unearthed a plethora of horrible problems including endo all over the place (except, significantly, her womb); an ovary fused to her bladder (this ovary also had a blood-filled cyst on it which they removed); part of her uterus fused to her bowel and a blocked fallopian tube (they were actually undecided about the 'blockage' as they thought the lack of dye trickling out could have merely been a temporary consequence of the fusing of the tube to her bladder). So, they scraped away the endo, unfused her stuck-to-other-organs bits and sent her on her way....

The key is - whether she only had one functioning tube or not - she is having lots and lots of sex with a 25 year-old who can't get enough of her. HARRUMPH!!

Spinning Fx for a BFP pre-Glastonbury!

Purdey I was quite ill a while back back

purdiepie · 05/04/2015 11:28

Pixa, what's 'travel'?

Yok, I'm sorry about your mc, they're hateful. What does your name mean?

Night, I seem to have missed the fact that you have abnormally short cycles. 23 days is not good. Neither is 24 or 25 Surely you have an LP deficiency? I strongly recommend you begin charting so you can see what's going on. The same goes for anyone whose cycles are under 26 days.

Pixa · 05/04/2015 11:31

Stupid phone.

Purdey I do rest a lot, usually in front of the TV. Easter Grin I was quite ill a while back, and whilst it wasn't something I could prevent, I am sure a healthier body and mind would have aided a quicker recovery. Whilst I have the (joint) motivation of wanting to prevent illness/recover well and be healthy for pregnancy and motherhood, I would rather ride the wave! Easter Smile

purdiepie · 05/04/2015 11:34

Spinning, rather you than me at Glasto but I hope you're preggo and get to have your bump painted by some off-their-stinky-tits hippies Smile

I couldn't go to church this morning as my poorly tot is pumping the equivalent of Niagara Falls out of her snout. Dad's coming to watch the Spurs v Burnely game and so I plan to kill myself.

Faye off Corrie is thirteen, not fourteen

purdiepie · 05/04/2015 11:36

Pixa, please will you join our fb group so I can see how thin you are? Also I can live vicariously through your holiday photos Smile Thanks.

purdiepie · 05/04/2015 11:37

Pikz, have you ov'd yet or what? Did you manage to have loads of exhilarating skydivey sex from the chandelier? Do you even own a chandelier? I have some chandelier earrings but I wouldn't recommend swinging off 'em wiv your tits out.

nightandthelight · 05/04/2015 11:41

Haven't had a chance to read back (in church) but was just baby bombed by the vicar in the sermon! Seems that someone in the church is pg (don't know who) but as one of only about three women of the right age suspicion will fall on me :(

spinningirl10 · 05/04/2015 11:42

Ah did I miss the Corrie birth! Will have to catch up later.

Ah Purdey, sorry you missed church due to Nancy being snotty. Poor thing, hope she's better soon.

Pixa · 05/04/2015 11:50

Purdey Happy to join your FB group Easter Grin but I am no where near being thin! Hence my recent need for a personal trainer. Easter Grin Personally, I blame travel for my extra inches. Travel means I bring home extra baggage, especially those gremlins called 'calories' - y'know, those little blighters that sneak into your wardrobes and shrink your clothes. Easter Angry

Howling at off-their-stinky-tits hippies.

nightandthelight · 05/04/2015 11:51

Argh purdey is it really a problem? 26 days is the most common length but earlier does happen relatively frequently. Will see if I can persuade DH to let me temp :(

Pikz · 05/04/2015 11:58

Spinning can you get a pod? We have done many a festival in one and they have their own toilets and shower in the enclosure

Purdey no peak yet but at least starting to feel like I might I've checked back and in August I didn't ov t cd24 I wonder it when I ovulate from the what was blocked side so it takes some time to get going as I've had surges but no peak yet. We will just keep going every other day

Mrsb sorry you feel crap take time to have a cry

Looking forward to all the stats Purdey

Hope everyone else is having a lovely Easter

Pixa · 05/04/2015 12:03

Night I may start temping along with you now. My cycles are from sometimes 25 days, usually average at 26 and have the odd longer one. Using OPKs I do ovulate around CD12 though...

nightandthelight · 05/04/2015 12:10

Yay temp ing buddy pixa :) DH says that if there is a potential problem we can start using stuff to find out!

On Tuesday will go into work and find out how many cycles I have had in last three years that are below 26 days.

purdiepie · 05/04/2015 12:45

...Will see if I can persuade DH to let me temp. No. No, no, no, no, no. You will tell your husband that it is highly likely you have a LP deficiency and that the only way to tell is by a teeny tiny beep going off every morning which will give you a much more informed picture of what is going on while you are TTC that baby he says he wants Angry

purdiepie · 05/04/2015 12:47

Pixa, you may not be ovulating every month. Please start temping. I know it has done me no favours but that's because I have a too-good luteal phase and am liable to commit homicide by CD32.

I've decided to go back to being blonde. It's going to be a long journey, is this....

nightandthelight · 05/04/2015 12:49

Have explained and he is v amenable :) after seeing Goddaughter yesterday he is very baby focused :)

So a babymad thermometer I believe from Amazon?

Pixa · 05/04/2015 13:00

Still ridiculously hoping for a BFP this month, but if it doesn't arrive, I will buy a thermometer and get on temping. Thanks Purdey. Night temping buddies sounds like a great idea. Easter Grin

purdiepie · 05/04/2015 13:22

Oh, I love your accommodating husband, Night! Well done him. You and Pixa will be much better off now you can see your cycles in action.

nightandthelight · 05/04/2015 13:28

I feel bad for DH now purdey, he is a lovely guy and would never try to control me. He just found the way I approached the first cycle very forced (it was) and it had an unfortunate effect on his libido :(

So have seen lots of descriptions of temping on here so my understanding is I buy a thermometer called babymad that goes to two decimal places. I also register with fertility friend. I then take my temp each morning having had at least three hours of unbroken sleep and before I have done anything?

Should I use opks too or is that overkill?

Rainy34 · 05/04/2015 13:33

Hi everyone Happy Easter hope you are enjoying your chocolate, I am having a blonde moment but do we post our new stats on this bus as I'm not sure how it works,

nightandthelight · 05/04/2015 13:38

Also if there is a problem do I go to GP?

Sorry enough me posts. Hope everyone else is in a chocolate induced coma :)

purdiepie · 05/04/2015 13:40

No it isn't overkill. However, if you and DH are having sex regularly then you won't need to know when to time sex for optimum chance of conception. You might be surprised, however, to learn you ov later or earlier than you thought. Do you use nothing at all at the moment to track fertility?

Rainy! Hello, love. I've no idea. I haven't updated my stats for yonks Blush
