sparkly!!!! I'm so happy for you that it's made me well up a little! Oh this is wonderful, wonderful news, I hope you're feeling much more relaxed now!

lucie I am hoping beyond hope that it is just still too early for you.

Sparkly what fantastic news :) wooooooohoooooooo

Sparkly, that is amazing news! You have a real live baby in there! I am so pleased for you.

Thanks so much everyone. You have all been so supportive and wonderful. Kept me sane! Thank you!!!!

It's true, today has been a mixed bag of news for the bus. I remember so many times when others share good news- being so happy for them, but pangs of sadness at times as you just want it to be you.. So I don't want to drone on about my good news and take over. I just want you all to know that during the rubbish times each of us go through, you are all amazing and every single one of us is going to get our babies. It's just a matter of time. Choppers really needs to be our team mascot I think as she's been through it all!
Sending lots of positive thoughts to you all for those having a bad day/time at the moment we are all here for you and sending

Nomio ??? Updates???

Firstly, Yay Sparkly!!! So please for you :) Congratulations, you must be so relieved?! please don't leave the bus though, I need your advice

Pug - Yes I suppose that's the way to think of it. Of course we would miss £450, but I almost think its worth it, because if we don't and I am still not pregnant in 4 months I will always be thinking, what if we had had the HyCoSy. I do need to check that they will be able to refer us back to the NHS for treatment though before we do anything drastic - I forgot all my questions when she told me the appointment date.
The biggest problem I have with the fake smile thing is that if someone notices I'm not right and asks 'are you ok?' I just burst in to tears. Hope you're ok?

Aux congrats on the extended LP

Dizzy I wish I could stop with the crying, it really annoys me that I'm so emotional, but I can't help it.

mummyofone I'm not sure if I'm allowed to go out of area on the NHS am I? Anyone know?

Spinning And they say money doesn't buy happiness... YEs, I am tempted, need to talk to DH

Sparkly DH is amazing, he puts up with all my teary-ness and cheers me up when I think its not even possible. I need to talk to dh tonight and see what he thinks, but good to know you'll have the opposite argument waiting if I should need it

Boris Yay for the dildocam

And now I'm crying again after reading all your lovely posts goes off to the corner to give self a good talking to

The only other thing I wanted to ask was that the date she has booked my HyCoSy for will be CD14, she said it should be anywhere between day 6 and day 19 and that it will just mean we are not allowed to TTC that cycle. Are you not meant to anyway even if you have it on say CD8? She said there is a risk of ectopic? I called back to try and change it to Monday 30th CD7, but she was having done of it due to what her little cycle guessing wheel said. Xx

lucie I'm so sorry for you and dh I can't begin to imagine the desolation you are feeling right now

Lots of to everyone who is having a torrid time at the moment

Yaaaaayyyyyyyy sparkly and wotsists I'm so happy for you I hope you have a happy and healthy nine months

So I'm on day 5 of very light spotting, af due on Sunday (I thought it had started on Monday, but it hasn't increased or got red, it's just brown when I wipe) I'm wondering if I have low progesterone? Day two of antibiotics for uti (no improvement) Oh well at least it's a bank holiday weekend

Sammy, they normally do it between days 6-10. They advise that you don't have sex from the day your period starts until after the test. I am not sure why, but there must be a reason!

Sparkly, I am not feeling great. I didn't get a call about the ultrasound, so that means it will now be Tuesday. I have also had terrible diarrhoea (sorry, tmi) & upset tummy since last night, which I think might be caused by the Progesterone. Apparently it is quite common. I think because I have been ill anyway, it is making it worse. Hopefully it is only temporary.

sammy I don't know how it works with investigations already taking place but NHS choices is all about you getting care where you want it anywhere in the country. And if somewhere else has shorter waiting times - then you want it there! Your GP should be able to help.

Nomio that is totally rotten, surely you can't wait until Tuesday lovely??? I can't believe they are being so laid back about this!!

Sammy to cd19?! That's so late!! You def couldn't try that cycle then. I thought cd 11 was the latest. I was told no dtd for two days after and none from cd1 up to the day of HSG. Also... Remember my BFP is post HSG! No ectopic for me! Trunchpants says she's sure that the HSG is what did it!

Nomio, sorry you didn't get your scan today. It's not good that you'll now hw waiting until Tuesday. I hope you're not too uncomfortable, if you feel worse you'll have to go to A&E.

Riceicle, 5 days of spotting is pants! I can't help with the cause of it but I'm sure someone will have some advice.

I just spoke to dh and he is all for paying privately. So I'm going to call the private clinic in the morning and find out the availability, definite cost and make sure they'll refer us back to nhs after. Only problem is, dh won't be able to come with me if I have it next week... Do I need him there? I don't know what to do?

So mummy I would just make a drs appointment and ask her if I could go somewhere else?
Would she know if the waiting list was shorter elsewhere? Xx

Hi guys, no time to stop but here is a stats update: Cycle 5, BFP due 29th May

Rice hope uti gets going soon how annoying!! Re the spotting- I spot a week before AF usually and because I was temping I could see my temps were still high which led me to believe it wasn't progesterone related. Do you temp? I think you said before you don't because of sleep patterns. Is this the same every cycle?

Purdiepie really hoping today went well and you are ok

Sammy I'm so sorry that the NHS have utterly failed you!! September!! let us know how you get on with the info from the private clinic.

Lucie I cannot imagine what you're going through. My sister only got her bfp on the equivalent of cd16 though and my niece is now 9!!!

sparkly excellent news!!! congrats!

Thanks wotsits, I will. I think we're going to be looking at June for the private one as dh won't be free to come with me this month. Xx

Sammy dh wouldn't be able to go in with you anyway (at least that's what I was told procedure was) so he will really just be there to calm your nerves if you are anxious and to take you home after.. Could someone else go with you?

Sammy I was advised to have someone with me to drive me home after the hsg. Not really sure why, but it was nice to have someone. We also didn't ttc that month at all. You can't have sex before in case there is any possibity of you being preg for the procedure as it flushes any bean out and they don't want to be liable. Best of luck.

Back later about to get off the bus.

Lucie I am really sad to hear you got bfn, I'm going that its just taking a little bit to implant and that your hcg just has not built up yet, I have my fingers crossed so tightly for you!!

Sparkly GO You!!! i am so delighted for you, you must be so pleased,hopefully the bleeding will stop soon for you and have less pain and begin to enjoy your pregnancy and that is an un eventful 9 months for you!!!

Yokyil congratulations on your bfp, so pleased for you!!

Sammy , there is a clinic that starts at 9am, DH has a really bad stomach bug at the moment so i dont think he will be unto doing a sample for a while, once he is better il get him to book an appointment and take it from there

Nomio fx the progesterone works, it would be interesting in how you feel while on it!!

Wotsit congratulations on your bfp!!!!

Aux great news for the extended LP!!!

Purdie hope today went ok for you!!

Made my Blood test by the skin of my teeth, left in plenty of time but there was an accident so had to find another route to get to hospital, got there with two mins to spare, really thought i would get turned away but the lovely nurse took me

I have tried to look back and message everyone best i could but if missed people out its not personal!!

sammy I wish we could all be there with you and drive you back on the Bumsnet bus! I'm so pleased you and DH decided to speed things up and go private x

Sparkly you daft bugger. I'm no one to be worshipped! There are people with tougher stories than mine out there. Look at nomio and Lucie for example. Big hugs to you girls too today x

Yay Sammy, so pleased you've decided to have it done privately. As Sparkly asked, could someone else take you?

Rainy, phew for getting the blood test done

Purdie, hope the meeting was of some help to you.
