The Rules of Bumsnet

  1. Don't talk about Bumsnet
  2. Get the sperm in the hole
  3. Don't LPB. It's frowned upon.

Awww, Fig, I am glad you took the plunge. Especially as you brought Twirls!

Boris, how are you feeling after your dildocam?

ThePug · 08/05/2015 22:22

Ooh we should talk more often about needing newbies so they come out from the shadows! Welcome figgy

I will try to join in more this weekend as I'm feeling a lot better about things now ( Queenie thank you for asking after me lovely) and wanting to get back in the saddle as it were.

eskimo I hope you don't take this the wrong way and my intention certainly isn't to make you feel worse but honestly when I think that you've been waiting since November for AF to even turn up it puts my recent woes into perspective and makes me feel lucky for the things I did/do have seeing as we only started our ttc journey in February! I hope your day21 bloods show something

purdie I am so chuffed for you that you got such glowing endorsement from your boss and that you are getting to grips with the role.

Glitter welcome flap back

Sparkly Ugh, sorry to hear everything is taking its toll on you. I hope things will turn a corner soon and you'll start glowing (or should that be sparkling? Smile )

Boris When did you say you are off to far flung lands? If it was this weekend then bon voyage and I hope the time passes quickly for you. Have you managed to shake that horrible bug you had now? That may have been weeks ago, I have not got much concept of time recently

Will read back some more now to see who I've missed!

ThePug · 08/05/2015 22:24

Nomio I missed you and your down in the dumps-ness. Please don't stay there too long, we need you happy and focusing on getting the BFP that may be just around the corner. Has your cyst (?) pain gone now? Is there any treatment to stop it recurring?

Nomio230 · 08/05/2015 22:43

Yep, the cyst seems to be gone now, Pug. They don't think it will happen again, but think the ovarian hyper stimulation thing might do. Basically I just have to wait and see. Sad

I am so pleased you are starting to feel a bit more positive, and are managing to move on from your loss. Hopefully you will get pregnant super quickly again.

We are watching the cheesiest film ever. It is basically a rip off of about 4 different films combined with bad acting & cheesy special effects. It is brilliant!

purdiepie · 08/05/2015 23:43

nomio, did you have plenty of rumpy at the right time this month?

I'm in heaven watching back-to-back Gardner's World.

Butterchunks · 08/05/2015 23:50

Evening ladies.

I just wanted to pop in one last time (before I return to respectfully skulking in the shadows) to say goodbye, and thank you to everyone (and hello to fig).

Dpo 13 here and today I did my clearblue digi that been stashed away for months. I totally have a baby in my tum tum Grin 1-2 weeks. So far I have only had real squinters so it is a massive relief to see some confirmation.

Oh, and seeing as I ran out of IC hpts yesterday I have experimented with testing using ebay opks and got some really strong +ves. I found that a bit reassuring last night, before the digi test.

It feels very surreal, and dp and I are feeling very nervous but very happy. I am nervous about tomorrow seeing as it is the day af was due; I am on knicker watch already. We are both very aware that things are not to be taken for granted, and that we have to accept whatever the future holds. For now, however, there is a baby Butterchunks (and some absolutely massive boobs).

I am going to keep following you all from a distance, and look forward to seeing each of you get you bfps.

frogbubbles · 08/05/2015 23:52

Glittery!!! Nice name change.

Nom hang fire a few more days lovely 9dpo is too early Thanks

Aw Boris, what a meanie for not saying anything. Hopefully won't be too long until you see the docs? Fx everything is ok. Oh also I go to all my appointments alone.

Purds I am jealous my perfect evening would be back to back monty and gin!! EnvyEnvy

I'm still umming and arring over whether to shag this weekend, my knickers are saying it's time!!! But we did say we were having this month off. The other med stuff is more or less sorted now so there's no real reason why we can't now

frogbubbles · 08/05/2015 23:56

Aww butter such lovely news. Really pleased for you. Baby Butter has a lovely ring to it Smile

Nomio230 · 09/05/2015 00:02

Do it, Frog!

Congratulations again, Butter.

Purds, we didn't do it as much as normal because I felt too ill, but we DTD on days 13 & 15, then did AI on day 17, which was OV day.

eskimoflo · 09/05/2015 00:59

Have been round to my neighbours house again tonight. We watched the first episode of Fortitude whilst our men folk were at the gym. We're now gripped and we're going to make it a regular meet every Friday night Smile

Ok... no soy for me. I knew that it would be the wrong thing; I just wanted you's lot to confirm it for me.

Pug Bless you! I can't even begin to compare our experiences. What our trials and tribulations (and those of everyone else on this bus) do show, is that this TTC malarkey is so varied, so random , so unbelievably based on the 'luck of the draw,' and so frustratingly unfair, that we are so very fortunate to have each other to hold each other's hands through this process. We will all get there somehow, but in the meantime, we can laugh together, cry together and discuss our bodily fluids (or lack of) in order to keep a tight grasp on some semblance of sanity. Flowers Flowers

I am slightly tipsy on Prosecco and cider (bad mix!) but I do genuinely feel that we are all going to get there together. I just know it!

See you on the morrow ladies x x x

spinningirl10 · 09/05/2015 06:46

Morning GrinGrin

I've missed you all, how is everyone, what have I missed?!

I am waiting for af, due yesterday and no sign!!

Off to read backSmile

spinningirl10 · 09/05/2015 07:21

Butter, you're pregnant!!Congratulations, may you have a happy and healthy nine months Grin

Sorry not read any thing else, Ds got up and distracted me!

My cousin has caused quite a stir across the Internet in an incident involving David Cameron! I'm sure some of you can work out what I'm talking about!!

Are there anymore bfp's?

Sparkly, how are you?

Purdie, hope work was better for you this week.

loopylou1984 · 09/05/2015 08:11

Morning all, sorry haven't read back yet, but just a quick question: for those of you who've had hsg/HyCoSy how long did you spot for afterwards? I bless a little on thursdY after it was done and thought it had stopped but had some pink spotting again yesterday evening. It'll be time to start dtd soon, this needs to stop! Xx

loopylou1984 · 09/05/2015 08:12

*bled obviously!

Yay for the digi butter :)

Pixa · 09/05/2015 08:20

Ladies, please can I buy a ticket to get back on the bus? Smile

It has only been a week or so but that week break gave me what I needed. I had a real crap week leading up to me coming off of mumsnet for a bit, was honestly quite depressing and I couldn't face anymore ttc talk. I have found other focus points other than ttc and DH & I have doctors appointments booked now. ^^

What big news have I missed? Smile

Mummyofonesofar · 09/05/2015 08:34

Butterchunks congratulations!!!!!

loopylou1984 · 09/05/2015 08:42

Welcome back spinning and Pixa!
Pixa - glad you're feeling a bit better now Smile

Eskimo - hope the hangovers not too bad!

Frog - I say go for it, if I had a month off for no reason I'd always be thinking 'what if that was our month' as long as you're up to it, dtd!!

Boris - do you have an appointment booked for your results?

Sparkly - hope you're feeling a bit better today Xx

Hairstylisttoboris · 09/05/2015 08:58

Right I've put the test results to the back of my mind. My travels have started. I get anxiety travelling and this is always the worst bit, leaving home. I realised to late I hadn't deadlocked the door. It's so stressful and stupid at the same time. Worse possibly this time as DH is away as well on a boys weekend. I'll be online erratically from the Far East.

wotsits1 · 09/05/2015 09:00

spinning is your cousins David Cameron stir selfie related? Hilarious!

spinningirl10 · 09/05/2015 09:01

Wotsit, Yep that's him!!Grin

spinningirl10 · 09/05/2015 09:03

Hi Pixa, good to see you backGrin

Boris, safe travels. I missed you test results. Will read back later. Just off to an auction. We need a sofa amongst other thingsGrin

Hairstylisttoboris · 09/05/2015 09:05

Ah spinning I didn't get any results yet, have to wait ages. Boo. So funny that was your cousin :)

Queenbee30 · 09/05/2015 09:54

Safe travels boris!
Congrats butter, wishing you an uneventful and happy 9 months.

Welcome back pixa

Rainy34 · 09/05/2015 10:10

welcome back Pixa, sometimes a break from ttc does you good!!

Sparkly hope you are doing ok and not suffering to much

I have got a doc appointment for my day 3 and 21 blood results on tuesday as long as i can get out of work!!
