Spinning sorry I wasn't clear - DS was late to bed as I was caught up taking care of my friend! She hurt herself and knew she shouldn't have so can to my house for a cuddle and a loving kick up the arse and reminder of how much everyone loves her.

I have bitched on Facebook already but selfish dp is withholding sperm tonight after I inserted pressed as he is too tired from working today. I'm tired but pretended to want him. He knows it's ov day tomorrow. So sulking and slippery in bed.

Purdie mailed you back

eskimolaura · 11/04/2015 22:50

Just checking in, marking my place (stats haven't changed!) and saying a huge, massive congratulations to tessie and sparkly !! So very very thrilled for you both! Please don't leave Grin

Scotland didn't have my AF, or yours either, Melon (I did ask), so the search continues in Carlisle tonight. Hope everyone else is ok. Will have a proper catch up tomorrow. BTW, DH and I had some amazing non-ttc sex earlier and it was awesome, and, as some of you know, long overdue Blush Grin

Purplecuddlykoala14 · 11/04/2015 22:52

I've just had shit cycle five as well.
Welcome newbies
Nice that the grads popped back in to congratulate tessie and sparkly*.
spinning hope you're ok.
mummy hope your dp has a good rest ready for the morning.

DizzyNorthernBird · 11/04/2015 22:55

Cycle 6 will be better actually because I can go to my gp and tell him to give me tests because I'm not pg yet Smile (the only perk of being old. Now, where's the nice 'n' easy...?)

Nomio230 · 11/04/2015 22:57

Yay eskimo! Non TTC sex is great!

sparkly and tessie, please don't leave us! We love you guys and want to support you all the way. Smile

Welcome to all the new ladies. I don't think we have ever had 3 newbies in one day before! Hopefully we will all be celebrating your BFPs very soon.

I am loving the transgender kids chat. Off to try and find some candidates now!

HeirToTheIronThrone · 11/04/2015 23:00

Alright thanks Purds, save my current cough/cold/PLAGUE ailments

Alpha100 · 11/04/2015 23:01

queenpurdie thank you for allowing me to join Wink

dizzy thanks for the book recommendation I will definitely be ordering this!

Hi twinkle - I'm afraid I have no expertise to offer but from the other posters it seems you have good blood results-congrats! I went to see my gp in november before ttc even commenced-my job frequently involves offering support to couples who have infertility issues (usually after their last round of ivf or when they have decided they don't want to go down this route). I explained how anxious this has made me feel about ttc: he was lovely and said to come back in 6 months to see him.

frogbubbles · 11/04/2015 23:04

Sparkly I know I've already said this I'm so happy for you, it's lovely seeing some old faces popping back too to wish you well.

Wow mummy that's some walk, sorry to hear about your friend. It sounds like she is a lucky lady having you looking out for her. I hope she's ok soon.

Buttery pants, well said my lovely. My thoughts exactly, these buses, you ladies, the support, and advice are priceless. I don't think I could get through ttc again without you all. Plus who else could I talk to about CM and bleeding bottoms Smile

Aww charms sorry for the AF yay for the new job!!

Good to have you back spinning, I'm glad it went as ok as it could.

Hello and welcome twinkle & alpha waves back Welcome to the crazy bus

Chops/Vic how stupid am I? I didn't guess right ha ha!! Cute pet name from DH Smile

Woop to fun non ttc sex Eskimo!!

frogbubbles · 11/04/2015 23:07

Did anyone watch the Louis Theroux programme about transgender children? It was very interesting, I kind of understand having a family member who is transgender but MrF just does not get it.

Pixa · 11/04/2015 23:11

I did frogs it raised some real interesting questions for me. I went on a Transgender Awareness course and it was fascinating. I didn't realise how much heart ache something as simple as changing rooms or toilets could cause.

I think it's such a grey aware with lots of stigma attached. I kind of wondered if parents just needed to allow their children to be gender non-conforming for a while before labelling them as transgender.

DizzyMerry · 11/04/2015 23:14

Welcome newbies. You will love it here Grin

Got back from the birthday an hour ago and DD fell asleep straightaway as past her bedtime. DH is now out with his mates and I'm in bed with a sodding cold. Feeling very sorry for myself and couldn't eat much either Sad

Nomio230 · 11/04/2015 23:17

Awww Dizzy, that doesn't sound like much fun. Hope you feel better soon.

Chops, I really hope AF stays away, I so want you to get your BFP.

TwinkleStars15 · 11/04/2015 23:20

Thanks alpha only two more cycles and you can go back to that nice GP of yours Smile

What do people think of Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively calling their daughter James? I can't quite get my head around it.......

Pixa · 11/04/2015 23:23

Twinkle it just reminds me of the friends episode where Rachel suggests the name James for her and Ross' child, but only if she is a girl. Grin

Nomio230 · 11/04/2015 23:24

I think it is so dumb, Twinkle! I know they are trying to be all original, but I don't see the point.

The worst celeb child's name has to be poor little North West. Seriously?! She is a weird looking child too.

Woolly84 · 11/04/2015 23:27

Welcome to the new additions! Hope you get your own little new additions soon! Grin crap joke sorry

dizzym hope you feel better soon! Flowers

Ahhh that's who chops is! Doh!

Pixa · 11/04/2015 23:29

No Nomio, surely the weirdest name goes to Frank Zappa's daughter... Moon Unit Zappa Wink

Pixa · 11/04/2015 23:31

Or Marc Bolan's son, Rolan Bolan Grin

Yokyil · 11/04/2015 23:32

Jonathan ross' kids too Shock Rolan Bolan - brilliant name!!!

Nomio230 · 11/04/2015 23:36

Nicholas Cage called his child Kal-El-Superman's real name. Hmm

DizzyNorthernBird · 11/04/2015 23:37

frog I watched the first half an hour of Louie Theroux, unfortunately it was a few hours before AF kicked in so I blubbed my eyes out! In some ways I think it's great that these issues are addressed while the child is young, so the can come to terms with their new identity before puberty and the traumas of high school kick in. On the other hand I found it so upsetting that rather than being children and just doing things kids should be doing, they're discussing hormone therapy. its great they and their family have the opportunity to do what's right for them though. Although it did freak me out hearing a six year old using the word transgender Shock
