Hallo. I'm here for pop-into-the-bus purposes. Started spotting yesterday at 6dpo. Again. Full flow today so cd1. Again. May she be nicer to you lot and you all bfp your way into the thread!

mrsb0710 · 06/04/2015 13:18

I think we were too busy talking as the bus drove off the cliff.
AF is here in full force, and its so painful. I'm sure its not meant to be this bad every month?
Thank goodness its bank holiday and I can just zone out on pain killers.

How are you sparkly where are you up to in your cycle?

Sparkly123 · 06/04/2015 13:20

Here's my mammoth reply I wanted to post on other full up bus!

Bumsnetters ?! I thought id lost you!!

Dizzy I really hope things become clear soon, it's so frustrating all the waiting!!*

Purds I confided in my oldest friend on Friday about TTC. She is 31, single and desperate for a baby!.. She told me she's looking into do or sperm etc. Anyway! So this girl has had lots of surgeries and health issues over the years. She also has endo, one tube and a condition which results in her uterus being less than half the size of the norm! So basically teeny tiny- she said it's literally single digits of cases in the whole of the UK. So this could stop her carrying, no one seems to know. Anyway! So both ovaries work and - this is what I thought you would like to know- she says the one Fallopian tube compensates for the one that isn't there.. She says it moves over! I was pretty amazed at that no?! Poor Nancy!! I hope she perks up soon. I'm so glad dh and yourself are doing! Joys of parenthood eh...

Pixa to my family in Italy so it's just the getting there.. Once I'm there I have contacts etc if any issues I just wasn't sure about flying as I heard horror stories about mc before but I wonder whether it was all coincidental, haven't read into anything to see. What about you?

Melon so sorry that's so tough!! Yes Purds any tips?! I hope you get a late BFP!! Or AF arrives soon so you can move forward lovely.

Mrsb sorry you are feeling so low lovely sending positive thoughts to you you will feel better in a couple days once AF gets her foot out the door and hormones settle. It's a battle every month I know..you are closer to your baby lovely. You are Flowers

Spinning it was pretty cold! Ha. But I like to take these opportunities when I can!! Loved the sea air! So beautiful. Don't give up hope mrs! I feel the same today, no symptoms other than hip niggles which I usually get I think. not even been symptom spotting really this cycle.. I want to feel positive too, but yeh it's hard at times eh! I'm 8dpo just now. Come on! Let's keep Christmas babies a possibility!! How frustrating about the change of funeral plans!!.. I hope your dad takes over now or leaves everything as is. Nothing worse than a last minute unnecessary change! Can't believe it's come round now, sure it has felt like a never ending wait.

Oh Spinning my chart attached. Boring!

Purds and Spinners you two are in this together yes. I hear what you are saying Purds the "them" and "us".. But what's the evidence for that eh eh? You two can do this! You are both such strong, determined girls. You WILL not give up! And quite rightly so, statistics shmistics! You are special, very special. And I know you will have the patience and strength to keep going. Miracle BFPs happen ALL the time don't you know? Usually around the time you are about to give up right?! I know coming from my position you will prob tell me I'm being naive.. But I don't think so, I think I'm keeping faith and positivity strong because you have To. You can't give up on something you both want so much. It's gonna happen. Mark my words!!
You are gonna be over there with that lot!

sparkly you always make things brighter. Thank you.
I've marked our ttc days on the calendar, DH has been taking his vitamins, and I'll get a doctors appointment. Trying to be pro active and focus on the month ahead, and not on how crap I feel right now.
Thanks lovelies Flowers

DizzyMerry · 06/04/2015 13:25

Place marking.

Bfp/AF due April 10

Sparkly123 · 06/04/2015 13:26

Great plan! I always get the calendar out straight away when AF arrives so I can get planning too.. It feels good just to have next cycle to focus on! You will get there lovely Flowers

Phew! Sparkly, thanks for the thread. I searched and searched (and yelled for help on fb) but couldn't see a new 'un so was about to create one...Thank you for your uplifting one-tube-friend story, I really appreciate how you are super sanguine about mine and Spinning's - and everyone's! - chances. You are brill Thanks Your chart: don't you normally ov on CD16? It looks like you ov'd on CD17 to me, although that's a little too far away from your CB stick results, right? What are your thoughts?

I have to start fasting from now about 3- or 4pm. Bum invasion at 4pm tomorrow Help Sad

purdiepie · 06/04/2015 13:31

Why is everyone on two buses? I just. don't. get. it.

mrsb0710 · 06/04/2015 13:32

purdey get some ice lollies if you can. Just not red ones. They'll help keep sugar and hydration up, and it'll fill the gap for a while.

Pixa · 06/04/2015 13:37

Hello all

Just place marking. Feel grumpy today.

DH and I are going to pop to the local garden centre to pick up some lovely plants to cheer me up. I will put together a better response later.

Hope everyone is having a lovely bank holiday Monday. Easter Smile

nightandthelight · 06/04/2015 13:40

Place marking. Back from lovely walk in beautiful sunshine :)

Sparkly123 · 06/04/2015 13:58

I don't know re two buses. Some of the April girlies I have been on the buses with for a while and don't want to leave them behind?!? Wish everyone was on one bus! I find it hard to keep up with both! Easter Confused

Sparkly123 · 06/04/2015 13:59

Oh Star Purds I was thinking day 14?! Because I got my positive OPKs earlier this cycle?!

OP posts:
Purplecuddlykoala14 · 06/04/2015 14:04

I'd already jumped on the April bus before the idea of the forever bus so been switching between both to see how everyone is getting on. Not been doing a very good job of keeping though.
AF turned up today so I need a new plan of attacking for this new cycle.
Ff decided I didn't ov.

Hope everyone else is ok.

eskimolaura · 06/04/2015 14:32

Hello everyone! Marking my place and struggling to keep up! How is everyone? Have only managed to skim read, but caught the stories of hope despite single tubes, problematic wombs and other medical issues and I think they're awesome! Just goes to show that us women will find a way.

mrs b Sorry that you're feeling so rough. Hope you feel better soon. Flowers

night Hope that your thermometer arrives soon!

Purdie Good luck with the fasting. Hope you can bear it!

Spinning I hope you get your plans sorted soon so you know what you're doing. That must be really frustrating Confused

Pixa Hope the flowers cheer you up lovely.

aux sorry about AF Flowers

I have had a family orientated weekend. Took DH's dad for a pub meal and a bit of a walk on Saturday and visited my parents yesterday. My mum had baked two parsnip and maple syrup cakes, so I decorated them and put them together and then we had roast lamb for lunch. Yum yum. There was just the four of us, as my brother and sister-in-law are visiting her parents in the US. She's from LA originally. They'll be going at Christmas too, so I suggested that my parents and DH and I should go away for Christmas this year. We spent a while looking for cottages for hire in the Lake District but couldn't fin anywhere that would accommodate 4 dogs too. Has anyone got any ideas?

Nothing to report from my cycle. Think I'm into the 70s now in terms of cycle days. Am preparing myself to take the progesterone tablets tomorrow. Really hoped AF would have shown her face this weekend. Boo. Angry

Hope everyone is ok x x

purdiepie · 06/04/2015 15:59

Aux, you sound completely gutted. Would you bite my head off if I asked whether you'd consider giving up breastfeeding completely?

Eskimo, I'm so glad you're back, but you know what? I'm going to kill you! Why? Because I'm sweating over a hot oven making another of those bloody scrumptious parsnip and maple syrup cakes! DH loves 'em!

Purple, I am sorry about your anovulatory cycle. What's the plan then from now on? What can we do to help? Thanks

I have made an executive decision. I'm only going to fast from midnight tonight. I can't do any better than that. I'm not even going to attempt to. I am going to fill up, too, on loads and loads of Easter choccie and my parsnip cake tonight, following my dark & sticky lamb and sausage stew. If my turds come sploshing down the tube tomorrow in the shape of the Easter Bunny then so be it

Pixa, why are you grumpy, darling? Here, buy yourself some seeds for less than 99p a pack. Thompson & Morgan are a quality seed and plant company. I've just ordered a tenner's worth out of the baby's birthday money Hmm

I can't wait for Sunday, Pixa. I'm going to Hoghton Tower which is a nice joint just down t'road from here. They are hosting an 'unusual plant' sale. I can't wait Smile

purdiepie · 06/04/2015 16:04

Eskimo, when your AF finally arrives I would strangle it. Even better, I would maim it for life. Do you want me to get 'my people' on it? LA's nowt. Did you tell your DSil that you have a mate who lives in Chorley? That should quit her jibber-jabber.

'Fraid I can't help you re the mutts. Do you have to tell the cottage owners about the dogs? Hmm

What do you mean by 'decorating the cakes'? My recipe only demands a sieving of icing sugar atop.

DaisyDuckSW15 · 06/04/2015 16:12

Place marking. Nothing to report. Watching utterly terrible William and Kate movie on Channel 5 at the moment. Truly dire.

Loving it!

spinningirl10 · 06/04/2015 16:14

Hi, thanks for new busSmile
Back in a bit to catch up, got to eat!

eskimolaura · 06/04/2015 16:18

Purdey This is what I mean by 'decorating' the cakes:
