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!

I like this bus. I think I would get lost if there was no slower paced bus, but I could see you all on the Facebook group.

I haven't seen her all day Purdie. Sparkly please come back to us soon, I hope all is well.

Nomio230 · 05/04/2015 23:00

I vote we stay here.

Pixa · 05/04/2015 23:03

On a complete side note, I have only noticed how huge my DH's head is since we started TTC.^

victoria401 · 05/04/2015 23:08

Lol pixa!

I want to stay here

Nomio230 · 05/04/2015 23:17

My DH has a big head too, Pixa. In fact, at 6'4, he is a giant all over. Reassuringly he was normal sized at birth!

Ktdnn83 · 05/04/2015 23:22

Hello , so I have been advised off the lovely purdeypie to join you ladies on this bus ... I don't know what im doing really I guess waiting for a miracle . I don't wanna keep boring people with my tedious stuff but I'm keeping an eye on this thread and hoping there are lots of women like me who are struggling with our cycles and struggling for conception .
Anyway , hope you all had as much choc as me xx

Pixa · 05/04/2015 23:28

Victoria I am glad I gave you a giggle. Easter Grin Never been to Croatia but it has been highly recommended to me

Thanks for the reassurance Nomio I know my MIL has a baby book about DH, so I will check it out next time I see her. I want to make sure he had a normal size head at birth. Although I do remember his mum saying she needed forceps because of his lovely giant head

victoria401 · 05/04/2015 23:37

Hi KT! I posted on your thread. I've been struggling to conceive for over 2 years and there are others here too with cycle issues, one tube, poor sperm etc. You won't be alone. We are here to support each other x

Go to Croatia! Its amazing! Mwah Mwah Mwah!

purdiepie · 05/04/2015 23:43

How come you love Croatia, Vic? Is it cos of that sexy doc off ER?

Pixa, I proper laughed out loud at that Grin

KT! glad you joined us. Please don't worry about being 'tedious', we all feel like we're boring the pants off each other sometimes but we all 'get it'. Lots of us are struggling to have enough or any sex and plenty of women are battling long cycles and short luteal phases and spotting and unswerving husbands. I hope we will be able to make the tedium a little more bearable Thanks

I like this bus, too.

DizzyMerry · 05/04/2015 23:45

Hello all.
Have had a busy day with visitors and visiting! Did hop on the April bus briefly to congratulate cariad. Hope the bfp's start rolling in now Grin

KT I was ttc for 3 years before DD came along and we have been ttc#2 for 13 months now. We all have some sort of issues here and are a supportive bunch.

Cd24, 11dpo and nothing much to report apart from on off cramps so we shall see.

DizzyNorthernBird · 05/04/2015 23:51

spinning dp is a paramedic, or he was anyway until he disappeared off into management. He was in the police for a little while but decided he preferred the other emergency service! Tut Tut! Nah, he's a better ambulanceman than he was police officer anyway Smile

nomio actually it's DC dizzy..... I'm a detective Smile. And before you all go ooooooohhhh........this basically means I spend most of my days desk bound filling out forms and trying to persuade people who hate the police to give me a statement Hmm

It's my last night shift! Hurrah! Tomorrow I actually get to enjoy easter!

Pixa · 05/04/2015 23:59

Victoria Croatia is one of many options, but is currently on the top of our list for a close quick short break.

Purdie Happy to help with the laughter. Easter Grin

DizzyNorth I have a lot of professional respect for people who are in the uniformed services! Easter Smile Thanks to you and your husband.

DizzyNorthernBird · 06/04/2015 00:03

Mmm purdie I daren't mention to DP what you said about getting the sperm in order for fertile week, he'll take that as a guarantee for 3 weeks of blow jobs Confused

Welcome KT, this is the place to be if you're finding things a struggle, everyone is lovely and so supportive.

DizzyNorthernBird · 06/04/2015 00:06

Thanks pixa it's nice to hear some people still appreciate us!

Pixa · 06/04/2015 00:22

Happy to spread the positivity DizzyNorth - in this neck of the woods the uniformed services are quite literally criminally abused. I work quite a lot with some of the services for my data analysis work.

Sparkly123 · 06/04/2015 00:45

Oh my. I'm exhausted and I have missed so many pages and I came to post and spotted "congrats Cariad" at the top of this page and now I MUST read back. I hope this means what I think it means, oh I hope so!!!!!..

Missed you ladies! I've only been off a couple days and it feels like forever!! It is in MN world though right?! I've had so much going on this easter weekend visitors etc so I've literally just not had a chance to catch up on all the goss, hope you all had a great easter and are ok. Will reply ASAP!!! Glad to be backEaster Grin (phew, the bunnies are still going...!)

Come on BFPs!!! Star

DizzyNorthernBird · 06/04/2015 00:59

sparkly cariads news is on the April bus!

pixa it's like that where I work too, we generally aren't appreciated even by the law abiding members of the public. Which is a huge shame because I work with some really great, hardworking working people who really do care. Unfortunately people pay too much attention to bad news stories and not enough on the good work we do Sad. What does your data analysis involve exactly?

Sparkly123 · 06/04/2015 01:40

This next post is epic, huge.. Apologies in advance! I'm sure by the time I login Tomor we shall have a new thread as almost at capacity so I'm posting my replies to you all as one post... Sorry!!

Glad to be back and again, sorry for lack of chat! I've had a lovely weekend , been to church and the beach today as was great sunshine,had picnic and dipped my feet in the sea. Gorgeous! Oh and it's about five days until a few of our BFPs are due and this has been my most calm TWW ever... So far! Easter Wink hope you are all ok and sorry if I've missed anyway. It's 1.30am MN problem I need zzzz!!!!

Sparkly123 · 06/04/2015 01:45

Eskimo duck face and LG... Ha ha ha!!! Love it. How are you doing this weekend?

Boris what about you? Feeling upbeat?

Victoria how you feeling lovely?? That sciatica is awful poor you. Did dh help with the pre inlaw invasion clean up? Easter Confused

Tessie what's that biatch FF saying about your OV day now?! it's snowing? At a BBQ?! Good work on the actual sex! Easter Wink

Dizzynorth how did nightshifts go? Stupid question really.. Hope you get out of limbo soon. Not long now!

Rufus welcome! FlowersYou really have been through the mill lovely! You have a lot on your plate I'm so sorry your dh is not more supportive in various aspects. I hope the clomid kicks things into action pronto!!

Wotsits you're back!! did you being the device though?that is the question... Easter Wink

Purdita so I'm still a few pages back. Baby bomb. Ok yep, I'm with you ..that's tough. After the toughness.. Do you feel any hope from it? She had a fair few issues then your BFF, wow. (Reminds me, did you see my post re 40+ lady and the AI pregnancy? I was awaiting your comment..) we do need spermies and lots of them! And your dh always produces a fair few right!? Sorry about church, that's hard on Easter Sunday too. Poor little NDolly!! No eggs for that wee one! I made it to church today first time in a long time.. It was great! You were a blondie before?! Noticed the spelling change too freak ps I'm thin. You will hate me. I'll be disowned. You shall now never see a photo of me... Ha ha Easter Blush

Pixa you tested early!!! Wahhhh slow down woman! Re travel- same predicament here. Not sure what to do .. Would like June but wasn't sure if should go for it or not! Intrigued to hear your wedding song! I can't right now as that will wake the dh who doesn't wake up with bbt by the way!.. I love Einaudi and wanted one for walking down the aisle but the church wouldn't allow it! strict Star Italians

Night goddaughter day sounds lovely! We are almost there lady! Keep the faith! and your head
Baby bombed by the vicar?! Emm, whaaaaat?! Babymad is the bbter if choice I think. Mine is temperamental these days...Easter Hmm. I'm excited to see your charts!!

mrsb I know it's so hard after the mmc, and you desperately want that BFP. It WILL come lovely. Try your best to wait to AF arrival date. The BFNs are crushing and just enhance that hopeless feeling which you don't need your energy zapped with. Focus on the fact that you have been pregnant before, it shows you can.. You absolutely without a doubt will do again .. You must must must keep that in the front on your mind. Put your energy into that. I know you will have down days along the way but you will get back up and on again.. You really are on the road to your BFP. Don't forget that it's coming!! Flowers

Yokyill welcome to the madhouse! Take a seat! So sorry to hear of you mc. FlowersI had early mc in Jan as have lots of us so we understand completely. Hope you are doing ok lovely and Hope AF is quick and painless. wishing you a super short journey to your BFP. Easter Grin

Rice good plan lovely. Keep that chin high! Easter Grin

Spinning always wanted to go to Glasto! We used to go to T in the Park every year as it's just up the road from us but it started becoming a bit, well.. Just crap really! You are gonna have a BFP soon lovelyyyyy! How's your chart or are boycotting them?

Pikz you have had pods?! So jealous! Fancy pants! Love it.hope OV gets a move on!!Easter Grin

Rainy hi! How are you doing?

nomio lazy day sounds good! Post house buying high?! Easter Grin

Marys and Missmrs are you here? Or maybe April bus. For you--
Flowers

Oh my goodness! this is fantastic news! Cariad has her BFP!! I'll pop over congratulate tomorrow!! Easter Grin

Sparkly123 · 06/04/2015 01:51

Ps I must remember Tomor- Purds I have info I need to relay re one tube to you.. Easter Grin

DizzyNorthernBird · 06/04/2015 03:42

sparkly that was epic. Hats off to you. Night shifts have been Ok thanks, only 2 1/2 hours left and then I get four days off! The worst bit is trying to stay awake ha ha. I don't do them much these days. Brown cm has appeared tonight so limbo should be over pretty soon. Your weekend sounds lush, you're making me want a mini break away Smile

Pixa · 06/04/2015 07:48

DizzyNorth I shall send you a quick PM about my work.

Sparkly it sounds as though you have had a very lovely weekend. A picnic sounds fabulous. Where would you travel to? I think we have decided that short haul in the very near future is fine, but we won't be booking our big long haul trip until very near the time we would go, just in case.

How is everyone this morning? I am trying desperately not to symptom spot but it is so hard! especially when I am now convinced AF will arrive instead of a BFP BFP.

MelonMelon · 06/04/2015 07:52

Grrr AF now 3 days late and bfn! It's getting me down now, if I'm not pregnant I want to move on to the next cycle. And 4 tests over the last 4 days are screaming that I am NOT pregnant Confused

Purdey how did you drag your missing period out of hibernation?

Pixa · 06/04/2015 07:58

Melon sorry to hear you're getting bfns with a late AF. If it is a couple more days late would you consider popping to the GP for some blood tests? Hope you get an answer soon. Flowers

MelonMelon · 06/04/2015 08:07

I've had bloods, scans and swabs done in the last 6 months due to my erratic cyles post miscarriage last year. Everything is 100% normal so who knows what's going on!
