Are you sick to the tits of baby-making sex? Or are you squelching with rabid lust when the lickle hand strikes cock o' clock? Have you already picked Sophia and Hugo as your baby names? Do you want to gouge out the smug eyes of the pregnant women in Sainsbo's? Do you shove balloons up your Boden sweater and pretend you have baby in your tum-tum? Have you already picked out your Farrow & Ball nursery paint? GREAT! Then you're just like us: We are the friendliest, wittiest, gayest, animal-lovingest, cervical-hunting women you will ever meet.

Come on, you frightened little trying-to-conceive mice...come join the fun on the Bumsnet bus. You know you wanna Smile

Purdie I love reading your posts. They are so eloquent and thoughtfully composed. So many things I can identify with too. I really do think that you're wasted on your new job, I hope that they realise what a gem they've got and start using some of your skills to their full ability.
Pug it's good to catch up with everyone. I know that I will get my bfp again soon, fx that this one sticks. My AF post MC was 3 weeks, yours will be along very soon. You may or may not have OV this month, the signs can be very confusing. It is so frustrating waiting for the wtf cycle to end.

autonomousplum · 22/05/2015 14:34

Aw thanks pug you're a star! :) looks familiar. I spent half the day scouring ff charts in search of fucked up rocky charts with no discernible post ov temp rise which still resulted in pregnancy. I found at least five although I must've looked at a good three hundred so there is definitely hope.
I am so bloody depressed today I could seriously slit my wrists eat an entire baked cheesecake by myself.

Pikz · 22/05/2015 15:31

Ding ding round 18 Hmm

ThePug · 22/05/2015 16:40

Oh Pikz Sad I hope you have some plans for the long weekend which can now involve wine

plum I have just seen a thread on the Chat board titled 'Just ate a whole cheesecake to myself' which I expected to be written by you! It wasn't. But did you eat one? Much preferable to wrist slitting.

I've just seen some exciting news from one of our own on another thread, hopefully she'll come on here later to update.

ibeka · 22/05/2015 17:52

auto I ate a huge slab of cheesecake, 5 chocolate crispie bites and two tunnocks tea cakes today Blush. Beat that! I now feel ill and am having to remind myself for the 17 hundredth time that these things don't actually make me feel any better at all!! Sorry you're feeling so fucked off. Flowers

I'm off to the south west in a minute, in my new car, at the start of a week away from work. Also, my head came to see me today and told me he'd heard I was struggling and has given me the help of a couple of staff. So I am trying to tell myself that there are things in life to be pleased about other than bfps. Hope you all have a lovely bank hol weekend. Wine to all.

Ooh pug, that's teasing!!! Who who??! Xx

loopylou1984 · 22/05/2015 18:13

I spoke to the clinic today and it's too late to get us in next cycle (which I suspected would be the case) so we're booked in for 26th June for first scan (af depending). So that's this cycle and next of trying naturally, I then we move on. I'm feeling quite calm about it all right now. Xx

glitteryflange · 22/05/2015 19:28

You ok Pikz?

Oh who has news?

Purds that woman - I'd have to say something! Tell her to bring her Mars bars in and join in! i hate jealousy.

Sitting here with hot water bottle on my neck. I wear DH has been karate chopping me in my sleep. Hmm

glitteryflange · 22/05/2015 19:28

glitteryflange · 22/05/2015 19:29

Sorry - 1 of the two. Obvs.

Oysterbabe · 22/05/2015 19:29

Evening!
Sorry I haven't been able to keep up since getting back, I've just been so damn tired. CD27, Only a couple more days to wait.
DH said that if I'm not knocked up this month I we should think about drinking less. I don't relish that prospect but if it would help...
Anyone have any fun weekend plans?

nightandthelight · 22/05/2015 19:38

I want to know the news!

Have arrived at grandparents in Devon so won't be able to post as much this weekend :(

loopylou1984 · 22/05/2015 20:49

Sparkly!! So good to hear from you!!
Yes, treatment, eek! It's private, my parents/grandparents have very kindly offered to pay, and we found out we can have one private cycle without losing our nhs entitlement!

How many weeks are you now? Xx

Sparkly123 · 22/05/2015 20:57

Glitter Oooh ewcm! So see you dtd then?! Glad Italia was good.. I presume you are talking about the in laws! Italian Mammas eh!

Rainy one of my day 21 was 27 too lovely. Did they just say borderline then? I know some clinics go with 20 some go with 30. Good luck with dh sample!! No bump nope.. No sign yet!
