The Bumsnet/Angry Pubes Bus #2... BFPs for the taking!

[Sparkly123]

Hi all! I came to catch up with you lot today and see the bus is full... Do we want another Bumsnet?! Are we standing united?! I thought I would start another incase it is needed!

Hi all,

Quick catch up post!

Spinning That dull AF stomach is a b!tch. As Sparkly said though, the symptoms to AF are so similar.

Sammy so jealous of your break to France. I neeeeeeeed a holiday.

DizzyNorth A box of Lindor is nothing... I am trying to desperately avoid my Hotel Chocolat eg. It's really thick and lovely. It keeps giving me the 'come and get me' eyes. Sorry for AF arriving. Fx for a bfp this cycle.

Boris Darling, you are not alone. We often have to have heart to hearts about having more sex.

Melon how are you doing? I have my fx for you.

Sparkly and Nomio you are both so sweet. I definitely think I am out. Bfn at 14dpo

Rainy it's lovely that your DH is so enthusiastic.

Rice sorry for the baby bomb. I feel your pain.

DizzyMetry and Sparkly no tests yet as we have been trying for seven months. I do think some tests would be worth beneficial if we can no longer wait.

I often have to carry out my work in a children's centre. Yesterda, whilst I was there, the fire alarm went off four times. We were evacuated into a car park with all the parents and their babies and toddlers. I was so - to make things a little worse, a colleague popped to see me and asked 'are you planning on starting a family sometime soo?'. I could have screamed.

Purdie Glad to see all went well and that your DH has taken good care of you.

Morning. If I'm honest I'm struggling today. Feeling really down. I've had loads of tests recently and they can't find any reason why my periods are erratic, I'm now 5 days late.

Woke up from a dream where I went to the GP and he made me do a pregnancy test which came up with 2 clear lines straight away!

This is torture

Morning

Frog, I haven't heard of wolf hall!

Nomio, haha the comment about Ouster giving the baby to one of us made me laugh!

Oyster, worry not. As soon as you have your own baby your maternal instincts will kick in

Pixa, sorry for the bfn again on the positive side, this gives you another month of training and getting that fab body you want, and just as you achieve this you'll get your bfp and get fat anyway

Butter, thanks for the link, I've saved it to read later.

Merry, fx for good results today

Purdie, how are you feeling this morning?

Another beautiful day here. Meeting a friend later with children so Ds is excited. Bit of a temp rise this morning although I did take it an hour later than normal. Still got dull ache af belly which is weird as I usually only get it for a couple of hours before af. Will attach chart.

Hope everyone has a good day

Here is my chart

Hope you get some resolution soon Melon

What a lovely chart Spinning I'll keep thinking warm thoughts that you temp stays high.

CD11. Warm up DTD this morning, getting ready for the main event at the weekend.

morning!

spinning chart is looking good! Hope the ache is a good sign!

pixa did the egg make it to see another day?! I munched my way through the best part of a Terry's chocolate Orange yesterday. This was on the day that I declared 'new cycle, new diet' which meant no more sugar until I get pg.

poldark fans I've downloaded episode one to watch today

Had a weird argument with DP last night. About painting door frames of all the daft things! Honestly!

Melon really feel for you. Thinking of you and hope you get some answers soon, lovely.

Fx for you spinning

I'm still feeling rough from AF. Can I hide under my duvet until it's all over please?! Can't face work today!

Hope everyone has a good day xx

pixa thank you. X

purdey when do you get your bum cam results?

Hello baker :)

Thanks to who ever posted the guardian MH article. Really interesting. DH has had depression and suicide issues in the past. I've never been to the doctors about it but I have anxiety issues (as did my dear dad). Sad that MH issues are still taboo in real life.

Hello to everyone else. Just popping over to the april bus to catch up them will come and read properly.

Hi everyone!

I managed to stick to my ban over the weekend! I have missed you all (except those who I stalk on facebook)....

How is everyone? Any BFPs?

I am on CD10 here, started my CB digi ov sticks yesterday, no high yet.

I had a lovely weekend with family and sunshine, back to work today which is very hard after a week off!

Could someone please update me?

Morning all!!

Purdey well done for yesterday, sounds horrible though. Bless your DH arriving with a bag of treats!!

Sparkly you do so well with the positivity, but its only natural that you are going to get some 'off' days. Hang in there

Welcome Baker Sorry to hear about your mc, hope you get a sticky bean very soon

Rice sorry for the baby bomb Focus on the girly weekend, sounds fun!

Frog were you asking if Poldark is anything like Wolf Hall? If so, nothing AT all!! I struggled to get into Wolf Hall but liked it towards the end. Poldark I have loved from the start

Yay for downloading Poldark Dizzy! Enjoy!

Sounds like you had a lovely long weekend Mummy....in bus news Cariad got her bfp....

tessie Yay for Cariad!!! So deserved. I bet she is over the moon!

Now then all.

Welcome to Baker

Hello mummy Glad you have had a lovely weekend :)

Dizzy Let me know if Poldark is worth a watch- I have him on my planner. Hope you're feeling better today

Have a good day out with your DS spinning

Butter Did you POAS today?

Oyster I am not in the slightest bit maternal. I have no idea what to do with babies. I am immensely broody though. I think there's a big difference! At the moment, I love watching babies and wonder at their tiny little marvels, but I don't actually want to pick them up, or do anything with them. Does that make sense?

Sparkly and Mrsb Hope that you two are feeling better today. A lot of us seem to be suffering a bit this week.

Speaking of suffering, Purds have you gorged yourself silly on loads of food today? Hope your ass ain't too sore

Frog Bog waves to you

Aww melon, this is awful for you. It's no fun when AF goes AWOL. Sending you lots of virtual hugs and hoping you get some answers soon.

Spinning sounds like you have a great day planned. The weather is lovely here too, but the highlight will be taking DS to opticians. Wolf hall is another period drama, I never watched it though it looked way too grown up for me.

Ha ha oyster my fertile window is the weekend too!!

Eskimo hee hee!!!

Tessie I was, I struggled with wolf hall. I've just looked on TiVo and can only get episode 5. So I'm going to wait for the reruns x

Yawn, bored now, and hungry! Not had my 2nd breakfast! Stuck in a lab alone waiting for an urgent samples from a horribly delayed theatre list! 9 o'clock they told me!

Yay for the temp increase spinning! You're 11dpo too yeah? I'm just waiting for the spotting to start....

Wolf hall looked boring as! Poldark is kinda feel good as he's just so darn lovely to everyone :-)

Nice weather here too, but like I said, stuck in my little room! Boo

Aww Victoria Hope your samples arrive soon. Is Poldark lovely? That's ruined it a bit for me... I like the thought of him being mean and moody. Not sure why I've built up that impression Aidan Turner was a vampire in Being Human and a dwarf in The Hobbit Has he got any supernatural powers in this one?

butteypants fantastic article on depression lovely.although I haven't suffered from MH issues I can relate a lot to it's contents as I suffer from chronic health problems and often a lot of what I experience is "unseen" by others. I particularly liked the "have you tried ..?" I also find this one particularly irritating "is that you 100% now?" Eh no love, there ain't no cure or fix that's why it's chronic see?! I have so much compassion for those who have MN health problems. It's extremely hard to go through your day to day life being judged (wrongly) by others whilst suffering. Great article!

Now, where's your BFP?!

victoria "catch" hate it. Urgh!

pixa frustrating lovely. Why do people ask these things? Is it any of their business?! I hope you managed to come up with a sufficient answer to shut her up!!

Melon sorry lovely. So have you had all tests done? They have no conclusion as to why your cycles are like this? Make sure every test has been done so you have all the information possible. It's not fair you have to endure this limbo every cycle, there must be something they can do to help

Spins your chart looks nice no??
not that we are obsessing over charts anymore oh come on bodies! Give us our Christmas babies, enough of this teasing!!! Hope you have a lovely day with friends

Purdita did you get a good sleep? Are you feeling a bit less.. Bum attacked?! Hope so. Been thinking of you. There better be a multipack of twirls around there somewhere.

Dizzynort painting door frames?!ah I do love those ones. Half way through you are in turmoil as you realise you are arguing over absolutely nothing , but at the same time you don't wanna back down?! Ha. Hope things are better today!

Boris sorry to hear your dh sufferered with depression. And also your anxiety too. It is ridiculous that in this day and age these problems are still being talked about in this way. Hope you are ok today lovely

mummy we missed ya! Glad you had a lovely weekend. Almost time for dtd for you!!!

oyster and frog hope you are all set to go get your new year BFPs this weekend!

eskimo I'm the same as you with babies, while they're cute and everything I don't really 'get' them lol. I'm opposite when it comes to broodiness though, I get maternal with DP's kids but never really feel 'broody' - whatever that should feel like. What I crave is having that bond with older children where you can help them learn and do fun stuff together. Maybe I should have been a teacher

tessie annoyingly when I went to watch episode one of poldark it had gone from my planner....looks like episode one has expired and is no longer available! So I'm downloading episode two as I write this and I'm hoping there's a 'last week.....on poldark' blurb.

sparkly I usually never back down but with that one I was so stunned at the ridiculousness of it all, all I could say to him was "seriously? We're supposed to be watching Godfather 2 and you want to argue about whether or not the door frames need painting?!!" He apologised pretty quickly later on

Ah Dizzy it's not on is it?! Ha. Glad he apologised and I gather you won't be painting the doorframes on your day off today?!

The problem was that I want to paint them and he thinks they don't need doing! Which is why it was so ridiculous! It's my time and money at stake, not his, so let me crack on with it!

Hi all. I see there are two april buses going but the title of this one suits my mood more.... Also, lots of familiar faces....

Those of you who were there will remember I got my BFP on 4th Feb. At an 8 week scan, there was only a 5 week embryo. They tried to tell me my dates were wrong but I knew they weren't and after two more weeks of waiting and scanning a MMC was confirmed at just over 10w. I had it surgically removed two weeks ago. I POAS this morning and it was positive but faint so I'm worried hopeful I will be able to TTC again soon. I've been feeling like utter shite generally for the past month so hoping some of you witty lot can get me a bit chirpier again....

ibeka I remember your last update. Sad news. Be kind to yourself! and good luck for the next cycle!

Oh ibeka I am so very sorry to see you back here again. Sending loads and loads of good thoughts and keeping everything crossed that your next cycle will be swift.

ibeka yep I remember you lovely! I'm so so sorry you have had such a terrible time. That must have been so hard for you-the waiting and also the fact that they wouldn't listen to you re dates. It's very positive that you feel you want to try again soon. Just do what feels right for you. We are all here to support you and help you move forward. You are strong and you will get through this next part. A loss is so difficult, many of us ladies have been there at different stages so I'm sure we can all help you in one way or another. You will get another BFP again soon. The good news being you were pregnant, you are fertile.. So I hope you have a short journey to your next BFP. So sorry again for what you are going through and feel free to share with us how you feel. We are all here to support you. Sending positive thoughts and strength to you. YOU CAN do this

Sorry to hear your sad news ibeka And we have news, this is no ordinary April bus, this one is a neverending megabus where ladies dont have to leave if they don't get their BFP this month

Sample finally arrived! And I can soon go to lunch! I don't think about food ALL the time by the way I think of ttc too

Glad you made up wwith dh dizzy

Oh quick question.... Should I be doing Bums and Tums at 11dpo???
