The Rules of Bumsnet

You can shag, you can syringe, you can temp, you can OPK; as long as your aim is a BFP!

We're cliquey so fuck off. LPB will be annihilated.

Thanks lovely ladies,
I haven't told DH yet Grin.
I have a confession spinning the last four cycles have been AI only so no sex at all Blush poor DH has performance issues.
So I wasn't that hopeful it would work with out help given my age as well.
Got an appointment with the Dr on Tuesday to discuss being referred for treatment - do I tell i don't need it now?
Dh also did his SA and hasn't got the results back yet.
The things I did different this cycle were started taking 50mg of b complex vits (not expecting much) as I read it helps balance hormones - I had much better CM from about CD10 whereas before I'd get hardly any. I also took 250 mg of vit c. Towards the end of the last cycle I changed to seven seas tryin for a baby tablets.
I had been using conceive plus but decided not to this time because it contains water and I read somewhere that this is bad for sperm.
So who knows if any of that made a difference or if it was just luck.

Big congrats purple wonderful news.
Stayed up from 12.40am to just after 6am watching the boxing. Have slept for 2.5 hrs...I feel dead Confused

spinningirl10 · 03/05/2015 09:51

Purple, great stats and interesting that you started with B6, there's been a few with Bfps after taking it but as you say, you'll never know if it was that working its magic and giving you a bfp or pure luckGrin

Yokyil, sounds like you'll be needing a nap today!

spinningirl10 · 03/05/2015 10:05

Haha just realised that wasn't a pic of Oyster in her wedding dress on FB yesterday!!Grin There is however a pic up now

We just got baby bombed by dh brother :(. They only got married in feb and she's 7 weeks, so pg first month of trying. Am happy for them, but it feels so completely unfair. Sils daughter announced it to us as soon as we walked in the door, I think they were planning on being more tactful as they know we're struggling but she got in there first! I burst in to tears as soon as we got in the car and can't stop crying now. And they're coming round here in half an hour to collect something. Need to pull myself together! Xx

Woolly84 · 03/05/2015 10:47

Hope all goes okay today rice Flowers

Happy anniversary pikz! SmileFlowers and belated happy birthday! Cake

Oo I can't wait to see a wedding pic from oyster Smile

Hairstylisttoboris · 03/05/2015 11:00

purple! love that you told us before DH. Hope you stay well and have a drama free 9 months.

sammy oh how painful for you. Big hug.

chopsface · 03/05/2015 11:00

Oh Sammy :-( Cake

DizzyNorthernBird · 03/05/2015 11:05

Congratulations purple!

sammy, they're 7 weeks and they're telling people? Shock that's shit they couldn't be a bit more tactful if they know you're struggling. How did she go about breaking the news to you? Flowers

night great news about the high temps, don't worry too much about when you've ov'd, if you're pg you won't know either way when AF might have arrived will you? So it might have arrived on Tuesday.....if that makes sense?

Hope everyone is well. I'm trying to decide whether to go for a run in the rain. I ate a whole bag of jelly babies at work last night so I'm on a bit of a guilt trip.

Rainy34 · 03/05/2015 11:10

Oh Sammy Im so sorry, I totally worry that my sis in law will do this to me, so i can totally see how you must be feeling sending you big hugs

Purplecuddlykoala14 · 03/05/2015 11:10

I did sneak it in eskimo
yokyll my DH stayed up for the boxing, but I didn't as it would of messed with me taking my temp this morning Smile
No more temping now.
spinning my LP is usually 11 days and I thought that the progesterone was dropping too quickly to sustain anything. The Dr didn't seem to think this was a problem but when I had the US on CDS 20 lining was good but was still only a 24 day cycle. So I thought I'd give the B6 a try to lengthen LP.
Happy birthday pikz

nightandthelight · 03/05/2015 11:23

I am so sorry Sammy :( I assume SIL's daughter is a child and therefore just blurted it out?

Thanks for all the reassurance ladies :)

Went for my first run on three weeks Dizzy just now due to moving and illness. Definitely go, I am exhausted and it had been so long I thought I was going to throw up the whole way round but now the endorphins are going crazy Grin

loopylou1984 · 03/05/2015 11:26

Dizzy the thing is they've told her two children so they actually have it away. We're out with them tonight and I would have known anyway as soon as she wasn't drinking so I'm glad we found out this morning and I was able to come home and have a cry about it. They just popped in to ours and we had a chat (minus the kids) and she was upset too so they def didn't mean to be insensitive. Xx

Purplecuddlykoala14 · 03/05/2015 11:43

Of course boris thems the rules Wink he has no idea about MN so he'll never know. I had to tell someone and he's sleeping after staying up all night watching the boxing.
Sorry sammy

wotsits1 · 03/05/2015 12:15

Oh Sammy... Hope you're okay! Baby bombed by a family member must be the worst.

Can I ask all your opinions on baby bombs? One of dhs best friends has been ttc for ages (they've had 2 failed ivf attempts). Obvs we aren't telling people until my 12 wk scan... but how best do we tell them? I realllllllly don't want to baby bomb them!!!!!!
