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!

Victoria your dream doesn't sound as lush as I thought it would be, I never have naughty dreams about co-workers. A friend of mine used to have them weekly, then go all red every time he walked past - was brilliant to watch

Sorry vic but you're dream is hilarious! Just as well the guy isn't in today

Spinning hope today goes well for you

Mummy, you are so lovely. The stuff my sister and I saw and heard has damaged us for sure. Nothing can be done about that, except to try to carve out a life different to his. I didn't turn to God for a crutch; I came back to Him because I could no longer deny the existence of Jesus of Nazareth and I decided He is the son of God and that the stuff he preached really does lead to happiness. Nothing else in my life came close and in fact it was destroying me.

Tessie, posting a chart can not affect whether or not there is a baby in your tum-tum. How did you get to be a forensic archaeologist with those daft ideas?

Can someone please point me towards anti-inflammatory foods? I am convinced inflammation is thwarting my pregnancy chances. Please remember I refuse to eat seafood, liver, tomatoes, most nuts, any legumes or bullshit herbs. Or sushi.

Thinking of you today, spinning

[victoria] I went through a phase of naughty dreams about one particular colleague. I had to start avoiding him as I was worried by brain was trying to tell me I fancied him. It was alright, the next time I actually had to work with him I was swiftly reminded what a plonker he is!!

Oooh night this is very exciting

Aww Purdie your dad did have it tough. MH treatment back then was barbaric. I can't even begin to imagine what you and your sister went through. I'm glad you are all together now.

Aww dizzy! That is the kind of thing I would do. I hope Monday will come around quick now for you

I'm ironing too, I hate it. Last week MrF came home and found the ironing mountain pile I had basically put a blanket over it anyway earlier in the week I fibbed and said I had done it I hadn't I was at the pub with my friend drinking cola in the beer garden so I need to do it before I pick him up from the train station or I shall be revealed as a liar liar pants on fire

purdie I spend so much of my professional life trying to source support for kids who have experienced/witnessed various horrors in their lives. Seeing your posts give me hope that some of them will also manage to come out fighting on the other side.

Purdie strong one you are

POAS party of Victoria Tessie and me on Sunday?

I know, I know Purdie I'm a weirdo! Hands up! I am a bit superstitious...worried posting my chart will somehow make AF arrive. Idiot, I know...

Can't you just link you FF homepage for us?

night hope they are pregnancy related symptoms and not illness!

mummy thanks.

victoria hope you go out for a nice lunch! Glad to hear no cramping or spotting at the mo! Fingers crossed!! Ha I do sleep yes.. Kinda. I'm one of those girls who posts from bed last thing at night. put the phone away your dream sounds like a riot! Ha

Pixa produce a spreadsheet yes! And share! Ha. Good to hear dh is open to it maybe not so dominant mr grey after all

Pikz sorry about OV lovely. That's a long cycle. You temp or just use OPKs?

aux pregmancy

Tessie this sounds very good lovely... Exciting!!

Froggy get ironing !

Purdita that's an interesting take and one that may be totally valid.. I think I just listened so intently to the doctor and that blooy fertility nurse who we have already established is useless and imagined I was more fertile after. But considering my cycles have been a bit wonky since, the imbalance theory seems much more plausible!!i think if I get another app I'm not gonna leave until I actually get an explanation as to why the spotting occurs then think I said that last time I know we have had snapshots of your life before, but I wasn't aware how hard things were for you growing up Purdita I understand all you have said, forgiveness is one of the hardest things in life, I'm so glad that you and your dad have found a way to be with each other having gone through and seen what you have. That must be haunting you forever but I'm so thankful you managed to find a way to create a different life for yourself..its good to know your dad has found peace in his sixties even if it does involve buying Latvian ladies underwear never too late eh. And as expected, you have gathered so much wisdom from the situation you had to deal with growing up.you are wonderful.thanks Papa Purdey for bringing Nancy to you
Magnums? I'm more of a strawberry split girl myself.

Dizzymerry ok two tiny days to go and you will know the state of play love. You can do it!

Spinning

My update is day 26, tiny temp drop and no bleeding overnight. However at fmu today I got the lovely -tmi -
Black stuff again. So I presume that AF shall appear tonight or Tomor. Bugger. Onwards...! My motto for today ladies.. (Photo attached)

Ok, superstition put aside, here's my chart:

www.fertilityfriend.com/home/54e511

Tessie what's normal cycle length? I reallllly like that rise in your chart. Argh fingers crossed lovely!!!!

Sparkly longest cycle I have had so far is 32 days but I normally have spotting 2 or 3 days before AF. When I had that 32 day cycle I started spotting on day 31, which is today so who knows....

Still don't like the sound of the black stuff sparkly

Had a few woozy spells this morning.... Not drank enough water? Eaten too much sugar? Preg? Yeah right,wahahahaha!

Don't think I'll make it to Sunday for a poas party night. If I got a pos opk on cd12... If I ovd on cd13 I'm due af tomorrow. If it hung on til cd14 then I'm due Sunday. That reminds me, need to find a number to call the clinic of weekends to book my baseline scan....

I'm more of a cornetto girl purdey

purdey if one more person tells me that I'm much more fertile after mc...I will punch them in the face.
sparkly we can do it luv! We'll get our bfps, good things come to those who wait :)

Ugh, I just had McDonald's. I feel all bloated now. The milkshake was tasty though.

Sparkly, that black stuff. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of you not getting a biological/anatomical/physiological explanation for what is happening. Please go back. Please be brave and demand some answers. GPs know nothing about this stuff...
...You are right about forgiveness; it is the most powerful of gifts to give and to receive. I find it impossible to pretend I am content if there is someone in my life whom I have not forgiven. Bitterness, resentment, ill-will; all these feelings are spokes in our lives moving forwards. I never care if someone is unwilling or unable to forgive me; that is their issue to deal with. As long as I have repented for my sins and try to atone by living a better life then I cannot do more. We can forgive anyone almost anything if we just humble ourselves.

Off for my two-hour nap

You are deffo 13dpo, Tessicca, and almost surely pregnant, no?

You think Purdie? I agree, I think I'm 13dpo too...if I get through the day with no spotting then I will feel maybe a bit more confident. I feel sick but I think it's nerves! and the lower back pain has started again and am so bloated. Thanks for looking though

See, it worries me if people can't forgive me for things, it really gets to me...I wish I could just think 'that's up to them' but I find it difficult to do that and let things go...

What did you have to eat from McDonalds Mrsb? I can't wait to get my hands on a KFC or Nandos Might even go on the way home from the airport tomorrow!!

Alright lovelies
FX tessie

CD13. I've had a rummage around in there and still have EWCM and can actually feel the opening of my cervix. It's weird and make me shudder slightly. I'm sure this is all stuff happens every month but now I'm really paying attention. I reckon ov is pretty imminent.

Does everyone bop (bum on pillow) after DTD? Last night we were pretty much falling asleep but managed to DTD anyway but then just passed out instantly. How much difference does it make I wonder.

Sorry for gate crashing but I m not sure if this is the right bus to update. I was part of the Feb and March buses before you formed your mega bus. I got my bfp last month but started bleeding at 5 week's and you were all very kind when I panicked. I said I was off for a short break over Easter and was glad of the distraction- you then all seemed to decamp to the new bus. I came back last week absolutely shattered, with a migraine and nausea which seems to have turned into full blown sickness. Took another test and according to cb still pregnant. I'll be 8 weeks next week. Quietly cautious as I'm still not sure if I could end up with a mmc. Mw appt next week so I'll ask all my questions then. I've not wanted to post an update this week as its taken time to sink in again and I was worried I'd jinx things.Good luck to you all, I hope the new bus brings lots of bfps.

Oyster I don't think it makes too much difference but we all do it because it is easy and free unlike many of the other things we do to help us in our TTC journey.

Tessie I am really excited by your chart, lots of funny dips down - does yours always do that? But looks like each one get higher and higher. Test tomorrow instead, as that would be your test day if FF knew what it was doing!

Sparkly Sorry for the black stuff again - what is your body doing!?!!
