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!

Look at all the BFPs! Congrats to all.

Chin up Purds, I can confirm you are my oracle, what you predicted looking at my charts waved at me today. Where would we be with out you x

Told my parents today, it's been emotional - in laws tomorrow, so more of the same...

Sorry about af purdie. I'm glad you're feeling better after spending time with Nancy. I have a question for you (and everyone else who can answer). I think I have finally worked out what is 'wrong' with me. I got an opk on cd13 and today at cd18 I'm starting to get pre af cramps, which happens every month and I start getting snotty discharge. As I got a positive opk I am thinking that either my body is not able to ovulate or this is happening due to low progesterone? Any thoughts on this?

Sparkly123 · 30/03/2015 21:04

How are ya Whatsforye?! Yes Stirling. Ah fife! My friends are currently relocating there as she has moved jobs and the commute is hellish! So you ain't up here now obviously?

wotsits1 · 30/03/2015 21:09

Just marking my place... will read back.... Grin

frogbubbles · 30/03/2015 21:25

Hee hee you would think so Sparkly (I'm her main carer and do pretty much everything from meds to bills) but she says I'm too bossy, but likes her outings to various haunts!

Mummy I guess you could use a blender. Not sure about using neither.

Pixa · 30/03/2015 21:32

Thanks for the ceiling picture Spinning! Tonnes of difference there. It looks like you're doing a grand job. Wink

Sparkly123 · 30/03/2015 21:34

Frog it's hard going lovely. My gran lived with me my whole life and we went through Alzheimer's with her and now my uncle has early onset dementia at 56 which is so so cruel. As I said, heartbreaking disease, but I truly believe in all moments the sufferer knows and feels the comfort of having you there. Treasure the precious moments now. You are obviously doing a great job it's not easy. Sending Flowers

Sparkly123 · 30/03/2015 21:42

DizzyMerry I'm so confused! So you got a positive OPK on cd 13? And then cramps at CD 18? I often get cramps a few days after I've ovulated. And I think some others do too, your AF doesn't arrive until much later does it??

Sparkly123 · 30/03/2015 21:47

Everyone on the Bumsnet bus either has a BFP, is getting some action.. Or has a date with AF. It's quiet here tonight. Hmm

spinningirl10 · 30/03/2015 21:49

Just pinched this from the April bus, it's about Brazil nuts for anyone that fancies a read.

DizzyMerry · 30/03/2015 21:49

Sparkly I start getting pre af cramps and the discharge around this time and usually af arrives on cd28. It's only just dawned on me that I get cramps from no up until af arrives so that can't be right, can it? I'm just wondering whether it's because ovulation has failed or whether it's connected to low progesterone. I'm actually really worried now thinking my body can't do something properly which is causing all this.

Sparkly123 · 30/03/2015 21:50

Spinning is the April bus still going? Oh no I feel bad now I left

Hairstylisttoboris · 30/03/2015 21:51

purdita head out of the oven lovely. Dont make me come up to Chorley to drag you out. You have the most gorgeous baby imaginable, enjoy her. How's t'tooth?

mama yeyy for professional credentials. I need to sort mine out, I'm due an upgrade after being demoted in a similar way.

nomio is it you house hunting? How exciting! Will you be moving far?

Who owned that cute rabbit? Lovely!!

glittery sorry for odd lumps. How confusing.

Welcome to new passengers, especially who ever it was who suffered a mc. Big hug to you.

Big hug to anyone suffering temp dips and af misery. sammy take care.

I'm off to the go tomorrow for my first chat to find out why im still not up the duff yet. Any ideas on what to ask for?

spinningirl10 · 30/03/2015 21:52

Sparkly, I was just lurking. I posted this morning because missmrs has sadly had an early lossSad but yes it's still going. This bus is too busy for some to keep up with.

Hairstylisttoboris · 30/03/2015 21:53

I can't keep up with two bus loads of updates. Can we have the odd update from the other side? Bfps?

Butterchunks · 30/03/2015 21:59

glittery:

I think I have something similar. A few years ago I found a terrifying little bump whilst having an good elbow deep rummage (and then spent the rest of the evening sobbing for all the future children that I would never have). I have since read lot on t'internet about harmless little cysts (someone has already given the name, begins with N) which seem to fit the description: small, smooth, they come and go and move to different places on my cervix, not painful and no bleeding. Since finding them I've had a few internals examinations and swabs due to recurrent problems (turned out to be yeast infections) and have never been told there was anything out of the ordinary. I think last time, when I knew I had some bumps and was planning to enquire, the gp said I had a lovely cervix Grin proud

Chances are you have an equally lovely cervix and it's something similar but deffo get yourself checked out and then please come report back to us.

juneybean · 30/03/2015 22:00

I just had a date with a packet of bourbons. Feel sick now ...

wotsits1 · 30/03/2015 22:05

I've just read a huge amount of posts so I'm so sorry if I missed anything!

dojo and Toadie... the hugest of congrats! Two bfps on a Monday!!! Woooooo! May you have lovely easy pregnancies and no stretch mark's! Wink

Purdey Sorry AF arrived. At least you know where you stand now after the ridiculous limbo days. If you need any advice on benefit entitlement DM me. I'm a bit of a wizz. For you, dh and Nancy the government says your applicable amount is £179.90 (plus a family premium of £17.45). If your cash in hand income is less than that then you should be claiming something!

Juney How are you hun? Have you come up with a plan for April?

Nomio Yay on the house news!!! Love house shopping! Exciting!!!

Nowt to report here. Still no signs of owt. Boo! Only 8dpo and am convinced I'm out already this month. I feel nowt.

dojo123 · 30/03/2015 22:07

Purdey I'm sorry AF has reared her witchy head. At least you have an answer to your confusing cycle.

I just had a thought always worrying.

I think FF got my OV date wrong and I think I ovd at CD12 or possibly 13 making me 13dpo possible 14dpo rather than 11dpo. However (this is where my thought kicks in). What if I am only 11dpo, the line seemed pretty strong and... There is a history of twins running in my family, both sides and it skipped a generation. I should just push this though to the back of my mind shouldn't I and just concentrate on POAS again in the morning..

As you were

dojo123 · 30/03/2015 22:08

wotsits1 · 30/03/2015 22:15

Double the fun dojo!

loopylou1984 · 30/03/2015 22:16

Thank you Sparkly, I am ok. AF hasn't actually arrived yet, but I suspect she will turn up over night.

Thank you Boris, Pixa, Woolley and Juney, yes I'm ok, are you guys?
Juney, have you formulated a plan for next month?

Pug - the last appointment was pretty useless really. He just said all my bloods were fine and he was happy with dhs SA so sent us away to try for another 4 months. I don't want that to happen again so want to be prepared, but I also know that I'll get emotional hence wanting to go armed with a list.

Again, anyone with any advice/experience welcome :)

Rainy34 · 30/03/2015 22:20

tessie I have been taking 200mg of evening primrose oil until ovulation and continuing with the b complex , four cups of green tea a day, I do think that the EP is what is helpng

victoria401 · 30/03/2015 22:27

Argh! Pages and pages!

Congrats to dojo and toad and sorry to the af sufferers :-(

Can't remember anything else, too tired, night all!

Pixa · 30/03/2015 22:31

I am okay, thank you Sammy. Quite exhausted though.

DH has started planning a birthday surprise for me. My birthday isn't until July, but he has told me I need to take a day off in June and I need to buy a new posh summer dress. He spoke to one of our friends who has given me a few outfit suggestions but honestly I have no idea what we are doing. Quite excited!
