Wecome to the newcomers!

I think I'll be overdosing myself on pineapple next month if this cycle doesn't work out!

Hairstylisttoboris · 27/04/2015 07:58

Welcome new comers. Hope you feel settled here. It's a lovely bunch of ladies you are travelling with (and me).
I personally like the recently discovered bfps hanging out a bit. It's otherwise sad to see people rush off. If you start moaning about how tough pregnancy is or sending in bump pictures I will unceremoniously evict you however. Until that point, I for one, am happy to have you stay.
I'm feeling slightly better. Off to work. Slightly in the hope they send me home. My boss emailed me Friday saying she knows I'm sick but I have lots of new work piling up.
sammy thinking of you today. X

nightandthelight · 27/04/2015 08:13

Welcome Flat :)

Your boss is a dick Boris how dare they send you a message like that? If there is a problem with workload while you are off it is their responsibility to sort it out!

coffeenut · 27/04/2015 08:38

I agree, what an arse Boris. Can you puke or cough on her just to teach her a lesson?

What's happening with sammy??

CarrotVan · 27/04/2015 08:59

You can get bromelain extract from health food shops if you don't want to eat your own body weight in pineapple

Welcome Wish and Flat - may your journeys be short

Woolly84 · 27/04/2015 09:03

southy glad you're okay, I always tell myself to wait too but never can in the end!!

dizzym oh I'm glad things are better, it still must be pretty raw, take it a day at a time Flowers

coffee hello lovely preggo one! Smile I would love you to stick around, i feel like I "know" you having been cycle buddies and roux be sad to see you go straight away, also want to know everything is going well for you Flowers

boris your boss sounds very insensitive! Maybe they were just stressed and didn't think, but still! Hope it goes okay today but don't push yourself if you're not feeling up to it.

Welcome newbies! Smile

Woolly84 · 27/04/2015 09:05

"Would" not "roux" above coffee, no idea what the hell roux is!Confused

parsnipbob · 27/04/2015 09:06

Boris your boss sounds horrid!!

DizzyMerry · 27/04/2015 10:05

Agreed your boss in an utter arse boris. She shouldn't contact you while you're off sick. They pressure could make you feel worse.

I'm sure I read on another thread that sammy has an appointment with a fertility specialist today. Good luck sammy hope you get some answers.

I'm more than happy for the preg ladies to stay on here. I would be very strange without you.

coffeenut · 27/04/2015 11:20

Oh good luck sammy Flowers I hope it goes really well.

Thanks ladies, will hang around then if that's okay! Smile

woolly are you joining the dark side and temping this cycle?

dizzym did FF give you your ovulation cross hairs?

DizzyMerry · 27/04/2015 11:36

Of course I meant it would be very strange. I'm not strange at all I promise Hmm

No crosshairs yet coffee but will check again tomorrow.

FlatWhiteToGo · 27/04/2015 12:06

Thanks everyone Smile. This seems like such a friendly bus!

Boris - that is ridiculous and really unfair. Don't let your boss put pressure on you to return until you're actually better. Easier said than done, I know Hmm.

nightandthelight · 27/04/2015 12:53

The other bus are concerned at how early I ovd and have done some research and it appears that early ov can be a problem. Have emailed a couple of private hospitals to see if they have fertility services :)

parsnipbob · 27/04/2015 13:02

Night how early did you O?

Woolly84 · 27/04/2015 13:04

coffee yes my thermometer has been dispatched and should arrive this week, and I'm very excited about it! How sad! Haha

dizzym of course you're not strange haha, hopefully our preg friends stay on here and we don't end up estranged from them (see what I did there?!)

flatwhite how are you today?

coffeenut and flatwhite are inspiring me to take on a caffeine themed username....frothymocha perhaps? Grin

nightandthelight · 27/04/2015 13:04

CD9 parsnip (normal is 12-18). Have done some research. One clinical trial showed that early ovulators have half the chance of conceiving compared to people in the normal range. If they conceive the chances of the pregnancy being viable are 21% (compared to 84% for normal range) :(

parsnipbob · 27/04/2015 14:02

I didn't realise that night, sorry to hear that. Fx private hosps will be able to help you Flowers

nightandthelight · 27/04/2015 14:07

Hopefully it's a one off parsnip :)

DizzyMerry · 27/04/2015 14:13

I didn't realise it could be a problem night. Hope you manage to get an appointment with a fertility specialist.

Woolly sorry AF arrived but next cycle is the one for your bfp Flowers oh and I like the sound of frothymocha

pulpi · 27/04/2015 14:41

Got thrown from the April bus very early this month, but forgot to check in until now.

Off to find the May thread.

Good luck ladies!

nightandthelight · 27/04/2015 15:00

Hi pulpi, we are actually staying on this bus till the end of April regardless if when AF arrives so as far as I am aware there isn't a May bus yet (will create one on Thurday) :)

FlatWhiteToGo · 27/04/2015 15:11

Wooly - I'm great thanks. Hopefully getting closer to ovulation and DTD...although last month I didn't ovulate until CD22 (WTF?!). How are you doing? What are your stats and how long have you been trying? I'm sure you're sick of talking about it but I'm trying to get up to speed Smile! Ha ha - it's all about the caffeine (or not, as all these scary books and websites keep telling me!).

Night Sorry about the early ovulation. Why is it bad for conception? Does it usually happen this early?

Woolly84 · 27/04/2015 16:43

Thanks dizzym, I hope so too, and fx you get ovulation pinpointed on FF soon!

flatwhite hope ovulation arrives soon - what cd you on now? Do you use any methods of tracking ovulation? Cd22 is very late indeed!
I am okay thanks, AF arrived today (bitch) but it's the start of a new cycle so just focussing on trying again! This month will be our 5th month of trying, I'm 31 and TTC #1. There is a link to the bus stats on the opening post which night very kindly maintains for us, so you can check out everyone's stats on there and see if you have any cycle buddies!Smile

CarrotVan · 27/04/2015 16:51

So sorry AF has arrived properly Woolly

wishiwaspregnant · 27/04/2015 16:58

Is this the thermometer everyone is using? About to buy one! Just wanted to check it's the right one x

April 2015 bus #4 - Step aboard for bfps!
