For those of us who prefer a bit of scenery along the way and can't keep up with the MEGA-BUS!

Utterly devastated by what is going on here and that a couple if lovely people are leaving :( wishing you all the best Malibu and Illiria, hope that your TTC journey from here is short, your pregnancies healthy and uneventful and your babies big and bouncing!

Laura, utterly failed on the temp taking this morning, with feeling quite ill last night decided to give myself a good night's sleep and not set my alarm. Due to POAS tomorrow! Very impressed by your stealth skills :)

coffeenut · 11/04/2015 07:00

Are you feeling better this morning night? I hope it was short lived x

pinningwobble · 11/04/2015 07:04

Well ff moved my O day to 13 this morning so you ladies were right. Means we definitely DTD two days before. I'm hoping as I had EW that say I'm still in with a chance!

I think a lot of MN can be really mean actually. I have a nice relationship with my MIL (nice, gentle, quiet lady) but SIL is mean to her. I sometimes post about that and get absolutely flamed for it. People get really personal. I've just had to hide a thread I started as comments were upsetting me.

I was not checking the buses when this was happening but I sincerely hope there was no real nastiness going on.

nightandthelight · 11/04/2015 07:05

Thanks coffee feel absolutely fine but haven't tried going to loo yet! Grin Happy weekend folks :)

coffeenut · 11/04/2015 07:25

Good to hear night!!

I for one am looking forward to a nice clean new April thread soon!

coffeenut · 11/04/2015 07:27

pinning I think if you dtd when you had ewcm, you are still in with a great chance. what day are you on today?

pinningwobble · 11/04/2015 07:34

Coffee I hope so, especially as I never usually get ew! Am on cd 16 today, 3 dpo :)

DaisyDuckSW15 · 11/04/2015 07:50

pinning, I'm no expert but also believe, from what I've read, that DTD with EWCM is prime time for baby making. Good luck!

purdiepie · 11/04/2015 07:51

You know what, Illiria, Laura, Malibu et al, it's all very well pretending that Bitchslapper is some benign and lovely person who came here only to share the news of her BFP after her tragic losses, but she didn't. She ca,e here and attacked us - some of us by name - and I for one won't fucking lie down and be told I am driving people from buses, being unsympathetic and unsupportive. Some of us work fucking hard on these threads to encourage and uplift those downtrodden by this journey, and for someone who has never posted in support of other women to them pop up waving their pissy stick BFP is, quite frankly, not on.

If those of you flouncing off cannot see that we simply wanted to draw a line to discourage that kind of upsetting and tactless behaviour - and not to alienate our lovely friends who got their BFPs and supported other women along the way - then you are quite simply stupid. Stop pretending this is one of your sniffy office battles. It isn't. Or it wasn't until Bitchslapper and her cronies piled in to rock a rather steady boat. It's a fucking disgrace how the words of those of us who voiced our concerns about tactlessness on these threads have been skewed. We are kind, mutually-supportive women who desperately want to share in the joy of those who have supported the rest of us and get their BFPs. Forgive us for not feeling ecstatic when women we have never met come here to flash their Clear Blue sticks and fuck all else.

NicNak22 · 11/04/2015 08:00

purdie I was going to leave not with a good bye just reading those previous comments I felt bad for stepping in and questioning what was going on but your message made me stay.

I've put the test back on the draw twice already this morning, resisting the urge to poas until Tuesday....

CarrotVan · 11/04/2015 08:31

I rather hoped this storm would have blown out overnight.

Perhaps there should be a BFP thread for those who don't get involved in the more community oriented buses/specific threads

I may step away for a few days and let this work it's way out. As a newbie I don't really have a dog in this fight.

Wishing all the best to those stepping away more permanently and anyone testing or ovulating this weekend. Which seems like a weird thing to say but you know what I mean...

Rainy34 · 11/04/2015 08:33

waves at dozy, I hope you are doing well and so are treacle, I remember you both well from previous buses and it is great when old timers come back to check in on us , we don't have a problem with that at all, I find it comforting that you all still care , what upsets the bus are women who have never ever poster in there life and come on abus with a bfp and say it's there first month trying, that is great they have managed to get there so fast but why post on here, it feels like rubbing salt in your eye, they would be better to go straight to an threads, obviously if someone who joins on the first month and gets a bfp we would be pleased as they have somehow contributed to the bus but not when they hop on with there bfp!!!

Anyway hope everyone has a great weekend , finally the chocolate is finished and I can go back to eating healthy, not alof to report at the moment cd10 and low on the cbfm, oh has man flu so in a way I'm glad I'm still on low or I would be stressing he would be to poorly at ovulation

chopsface · 11/04/2015 08:33

This bus is nearly full, new bus, new start. I wish you all the best ladies x x

Hairstylisttoboris · 11/04/2015 08:34

Right Im ignoring anyone who piles on our bus to stir trouble.

night trying to find an update, in sure you did update us but are you feeling any better?

pinning do you have a chart that you could share?

niknak don't POAS yet! Hide them for a couple more days.

I've cancelled my plans for the day. I got a thumping headache the other day and it's still not cleared off. I managed to go to work yesterday but not really functioning today. I'm
Taking paracetamol, is that ok? Does anyone know if any other pain killers are ok? I'm 5dp. I don't think the stress in winding myself into is good for me.

Would I be considered unsupportive to say I don't get the minions? It might be that I'm thick (true fact).

pinningwobble · 11/04/2015 08:37

Certainly! My chart is www.FertilityFriend.com/home/57da37

Hairstylisttoboris · 11/04/2015 08:38

carrotvan would you be willing and able to stay and ignor the crap? The best way for us to support third who need it is to carry in the community - and we need people like you to do so. Same to any others who 'don't gave a dog in this fight' (can't think if a better way of putting it). The bus threads need you ladies to keep posting about the state of your nickers....

KittyVonCatsington · 11/04/2015 08:40

purdiepie - I too am a TTC Monthly Bus old timer and these buses were literally a life line for me last year and I still have some very good friends who I look out for regularly hence still reading the April Bus.

The thing is, what gives you or anyone the right to say who can and can't post on the TTC Monthly Buses? You talk about tact and sensitivity but the aggressive posts towards more than one poster re: getting quick BFPs but not having posted much/or at all or those who want to stick around after a BFP as they still want support from those that they have come to know, has never happened on the Monthly TTC buses before and does not show tact and sensitivity either. Please note that I know you have not necessarily done all of the above but this has happened over the past month and has understandably, been noted by lots of posters.

The whole point of the Monthly TTC buses is that they are for everyone and anyone: those who get pregnant first time of trying, those who already have a child/children, those who are suffering a loss/losses, those who are needing medical assistance...everyone! That is why there are so many other threads for those with specific issues that are understandably wanting to talk to those going through similar problems and find the TTC monthly buses difficult for that very reason.

I am well aware that I am contributing to causing more angst on this bus and probably being just as bad/antagonistic but you are all wonderful wonderful women going through the hell that is TTC, whether it is one month or one thousand. Please let everyone who wants to, post on the TTC Monthly buses and if anything upsets you not you specifically purdiepie please ignore it or consider joining another thread/Group that might be better suited to your needs.

I am keeping my fingers crossed that everyone on this bus gets their longed for BFP very soon Flowers

Hairstylisttoboris · 11/04/2015 08:41

Oh pinning but that chart looks good! Nice temp rises, spermiez in place. Everything crossed for you.

Woolly84 · 11/04/2015 08:49

Oo good luck pinning?

How are you coffeenut and hair?

night how are you feeling now?

Yet another flashing smiley for me today, that's 4 days vs the usual 1! Not ideal as I'm away Monday night so was hoping to catch that eggy before but never mind! Smile

nightandthelight · 11/04/2015 08:50

Hair I have stupidly got myself very excited! Proper nausea this morning but don't feel remotely ill (which I would expect if this were D&V). Please calm me down!

Right need to get into the mindset that I either expect AF today or a BFN tomorrow :)

How be you?

pinningwobble · 11/04/2015 08:56

Thanks boris! Am temping vaginally this month hence higher temps. Am a mouth breather so when I temp orally my chart is all over the place. Would recommend vag temping for anyone having similar chart issues!

Hairstylisttoboris · 11/04/2015 09:01

Oh night sounds very exciting. Don't want to raise your hopes but it's promising. Take it easy my dear and be good to yourself. This is one of the hardest parts of the journey - so near..
woolly thanks for asking - I've got a dress headache so taking today off from doing to much in the hope some me time can chill me out. Off to the bath with my cup of tea shortly. Sadly it's raining here so I can't easily potter round the garden. When did I get so elderly middle aged?!

NicNak22 · 11/04/2015 09:02

hair tests are away and in going out to keep myself busy all weekend.

Hairstylisttoboris · 11/04/2015 09:03

pinning I'm an insomniac and so no firm of temping will work well for me. And DH disturbes me a lot in his sleep, if I have a thermometer by the bed Id be tempted to shove it in other places to retaliate. I'm a lovely person really, when I've had sleep.

Hairstylisttoboris · 11/04/2015 09:04

Accuse the typos - dyslexic :(
