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!

Ok so just cleaned the oven.. Things one does to keep the mind busy at 4:30 in the morning..

I'm still new to this whole ttc thing and excuse my ignorance for not realizing how much is involved in trying to create life, the whole thing is just incredibly beautiful to me but whats even more amazing is us women, seriously so much strength and will power, put us in the battle field and we'll win every time! Smile

Health and happy 9 months to those that got their bfp and good luck to those heading into April, hopefully the bleeding stops for me to join you. My cycle is between 30-32days but not sure how it will play out in April.

Pixa, just for you......I thought the ceiling was white until I got into the light bit of the room!
That's smoking for you!!

Where's purdey?? I hope she's ok. Maybe if I wave a bag of Twirl bites around, she'll smell it, and come join us.

spinningirl10 · 30/03/2015 19:43

Juney, I wondered the same thing with mc. You can put your chart up at anytime after the cycle has finished o think.

Haha Dojo, maybe you'll start a new craze with your ear thermometer tempingGrin

Oh Bab, your going to have to keep that naughty rabbit away from your boxes Shock

Tessie, are you in Sarajevo for work reasons or just because you like it there?

Ah Frog, sorry to hear about your NanHmm

Night, I'm not surprised looking at Ross, obviously has supersperm to go with his super bodySmile

nightandthelight · 30/03/2015 19:48

Was thinking the same spinning, he could probably impregnate someone with a look!

purdeypie · 30/03/2015 19:50

Can you hear me? Can anybody HEAR ME? Can you hear me now?

I haven't read any of the pages on this bus yet. I am sorry but I've been bust playing with the tot all afternoon and purposefully remembering what gratitude means. I feel tons better now that AF is in full flow. I have decided never again to trust FF for pinpointing ov (especially when given dotted crosshairs) and therefore will only ever watch my cycle length and test after 31 days have come and gone. I will not temp after FF erroneously pinpoints ovulation.

I want tot hank all of you who have comforted me,. You are all simply gorgeous - and, Sparkly, I seriously almost wept when reading your post to me Thanks Butter and Mummy and DizzyM?, I am very grateful for the benefits and HC1 advice. I will get that form tomorrow when I go to get me toof stuck back in.

Toadie! a BFP! I could tell from your post just how excited you are. Wow! Well done, old girl. Here's to a joyous nine eight months for you and Dojo ThanksBrew

I will attempt a catch-up...

purdeypie · 30/03/2015 19:52

I am appalled at the typos in my last post

Rainy34 · 30/03/2015 19:58

Purdie sorry that AF has got you, take care of yourself!!

Dojo and Toadie on your BFP!! wishing you a happy nine months

Spinning Good job on the painting , i really need to get painting my kitchen, i just look at it and think yeah il do it later!!

Well i"m pretty sure i am 8dpo and so far i have not had any spotting, this is the furthest i have ever got after ovulation, I'm so delighted, I'm not getting ahead of myself as i know that the spotting could start anytime but its been a good month so far!!

spinningirl10 · 30/03/2015 20:03

Rainy, yay for no spotting and long may it continueSmile

Purdey, so sorry af has arrived but I always find it's almost a relief when it comes and you can stop with the torturous 'what ifs'. So pleased you've had a lovely afternoon with Nancy, it's good to look at all the positives in your life. Sometimes it's easy to get swept away and not see what is right in front of you.

tessiegirl · 30/03/2015 20:05

Love the talk about Ross Poldark!!!! He definitely has supersperm....sigh

Sorry Pug I forgot to mention where I am in my cycle - CD20 and I think I ov'd on CD18 so hoping FF will confirm tomorrow...

Spinning we came here with DH's work 3 years ago. Only meant to stay for two years and then we are supposed to be moving to The Hague but things here have taken a lonnnnnnnnnnng time to sort out, hence why we are still here...ugh! Sad Angry

tessiegirl · 30/03/2015 20:07

Fantastic about no spotting Rainy, have you been taking anything to help?

juneybean · 30/03/2015 20:07

Sorry to hear AF came Purds :(

frogbubbles · 30/03/2015 20:09

Aww thanks spinning to be honest 90% of the time she is fine, the 10% where she is bulk buying bananas, telling the neighbours I steal her inhalers etc is well trying, but as with ttc we just take it one day at a time.

Sparkly123 · 30/03/2015 20:09

Banana loaf sounds great! Yummm!!

Frog sorry to hear about your nan. It's such a devastating disease. Sure being with you brightens her day Flowers

Sparkly123 · 30/03/2015 20:13

Rainy!! No spotting is fantastic.. Great news! I dread every day past 6dpo as I just know mine will turn up!

Mummyofonesofar · 30/03/2015 20:13

babs can't you put the bunny in a cage so it doesn't eat boxes til you move? Or is it like a baby and you couldn't dare Hmm

frog who buys 18 bananas?!? Ok just read she has dementia - that explains it! It is an awful thing to watch happen to a loved one, sorry. One ingredient ice cream sounds fab. Can you do it without a processor?

spinnin well done on the painting! I began painting the bathroom a year ago. It still isn't finished....

Rainy34 yay to no spotting!!!

Purdey glad you've been playing with Nancy, I'm sure it was hard not to dig yourself a hole and ignore the world for a while so well done - in a non patronising way.

Sparkly123 · 30/03/2015 20:16

Purdita get yer head outta there you mad woman!! Glad nancy has brightened your day. She loves ya. So do we Flowers so is temping being given the heave ho completely?! (Is that a Scottish expression?Hmm ) if it is... I may join you in solidarity?! Ps sorry about any almost tears from my post .. I must try be more upbeat!! Ha ha Grin

mrsb0710 · 30/03/2015 20:18

purds I knew the wafting aroma of Twirls would bring you out! Sorry about AF. What a bitch (af that is, not you!)

Hmm...have had sharp pains on the same side I had ov pain. Indigestion, or something else? not symptom spotting at all

Sparkly123 · 30/03/2015 20:19

Lying with my pillow under my behind again... Got cramping today and wet cm... Not sure when to stop this cycle! Only on CD 15 Hmm

MelonMelon · 30/03/2015 20:22

Well I've just had a rocking hour cleaning out the fridge Confused Too cool for school.

Starting to get some bad cramps so not feeling very hopeful. DH has just come home with a lovely bunch of flowers for me which made me smile!

MelonMelon · 30/03/2015 20:23

Purdey lovely to have you back Smile

Sparkly123 · 30/03/2015 20:29

What a lovely dh Melon! I hope AF stays away. Fingers crossed!!! Love a fridge clean out... Hmm

Beansprout30 · 30/03/2015 20:37

Congrats to you dojo so pleased we've had a bfp today!

Flowers to sammy, mummy and purdey it's the most awful feeling knowing af is coming, even worse when our bodies play cruel games and get our hopes up - purdey at least you didn't waste any money on any sticks

Well done on the promo mama let's hope this is indeed the first of more good luck for you!

Nomio hope the house viewing went well, it's always good to put some work into a property to put your own stamp on it and make it feel like home. We moved into ours 3 years ago and have only just finished getting it how we wanted.. just need a baby now to fill the spare room!

Hi to everyone else xx

WhatsForYeWontGoByYe · 30/03/2015 20:47

Waaaaaaahhhhh, I found you! I turned my back for a bit well, 48 hours and it's all gone postal. Just caught up, and it only took me the best part of an hour.

Your news is all of equal importance but I find I can only remember the most dramatic so, here goes...(and please don't be offended if I miss you out):

Biggest fist bumps to dojo and toadie for the marvellous BFPs. Just what I needed to lift the mood. Well done you. Got everything crossed for safe, happy, trouble free months ahead.

purdey sorry AF arrived, but glad there's everything now to play for and not some weird limbo where nothing is certain. And hallelujah for existing DCs and gratitude. Means everything, don't it?

nomio glad house hunting went well. Did you put in any offers? Wasn't someone about to put in an offer?

sparkly I forgot the chap Stevie lived in Alba - was thinking he was a Kirkcaldy boy cos that's where he works. So you're near Stirling? I'm a Fifer, me, ken.
And well done on the whole DTD, lovely news.

Oh god, there was loads of other stuff too....oyster was it you who also got AF? And others? By jings, my memory isn't what it was.

MaMaPo · 30/03/2015 20:57

Oh there you all are! And congrats to toadie!

Purdey, sorry about AF. Completely agree on ditching the temping once you get past ovulation. Now go enjoy your little girl.

Exhausted here - hard to fall asleep last night and then had a super vivid bfp dream. Then I was awake anyway so I got up at 5.30am to test and got a bfn. No idea where AF has got to. But hey, I did a pregnancy test, first one in nearly a year of ttc!
