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

Morning ladies, quick question: We're going away for a few days and there is a one hour time difference.... What do I do about temp taking? Xx

purdiepie · 23/05/2015 07:38

Take at the adjusted time. Enjoy, lovely!

Thank you! So as they're an hour ahead and I normally take it at 5am, I do 6am instead? Xx

Oysterbabe · 23/05/2015 07:50

Morning!
I haven't been temping this month but I took my temp this morning and it's low, my usual pre-AF temp. I'm having cramps too. I'm pretty sure she's coming.
I feel really down about it, like our honeymoon was our best chance; loads of DTD, relaxed etc. I don't see why it'll happen any other month if not this one.
Next month DH is having an operation and won't be able to move so that's out.
Sad Sad
I'm off to spend today sulking.

nightandthelight · 23/05/2015 07:52

Oh no oyster :( I really hope it was a fault with the thermometer! I know Dizzy had some problems with them.

nightandthelight · 23/05/2015 08:06

Congrats on SA improvement spinning! Go get him tiger Grin

Sorry for arrival of AF pikz Flowers

Can't believe you are 10 weeks sparkly that is so exciting!

chopsface · 23/05/2015 08:20

Boo for temp drop oyster had my fingers crossed for your honeymoon bfp :-(

sparkly my love! Glad you're starting to feel better. Yay for the 10 week club! Hope your bleeding has stopped so you're going forward with confidence.

Obviously this mystery lady with good news doesn't want to share with us. Are you sure she is still one of ours pug?

I'm off to Aldi to buy some cheesecake for breakfast

Rainy34 · 23/05/2015 08:59

Morning everyone, looks like we are in for a lovely sunny weekend !!!

got a sneaky suspicion that AF is just around the corner, woke up at 5 this morning in pain, so i think she will be here in a few hours,

purdiepie · 23/05/2015 09:25

Oyster, please don't be dispirited, only 1 in 3 eggs are euploid (viable) in thirtysomething women, so your honeymoon cycle may never have produced a baby no matter how many times you had sex. This is why it's important to keep up the grumpy every month.

I don't want to read about ten-week 'clubs' on here. Isn't that what grad threads are for?

As much as I'm a LPB these days I have to agree with purdita it's bad enough not being in THE club let alone a bumsnet club

purdiepie · 23/05/2015 09:36

Pikz, I am so sorry your prick-tease of a temp was taking the piss. Do you have any plans regarding how long you will TTC naturally? I think it will happen for you in the next six months Thanks

Speaking of prick teases, where's Pug with her gossip?

I'm completing my application form for Gennet. I have lied three times already: Any sexually transmitted diseases?; Weight; Does your husband smoke? Hmm

DizzyNorthernBird · 23/05/2015 09:44

oyster try not to be too down off the back off one temp, you don't know what your temps might have been on other days.......for all you know today might just be a random dip and it's just unfortunate that it's coincided with you taking a one off temp....what dpo are you now? I've seen charts with huge dips during LP but that still ended with bfp.

Nice to see sparkly back!

I had a look on a couple of other buses and I couldn't find anyone with good news either! Confused

purdie how many weeks have you got left at work now?

I'm only cd10 so won't start with opks until Tuesday, cd14. I saw a random bit of ewcm this morning though which is confusing as its way way too early! Will see how the next few days pan out and may start testing early if it continues!

DP and I have come up with a plan for next week. According to ff, my fertile window starts on Thursday with ov a week on Sunday (cd19). This is crap timing as I'm working evenings Thursday-Monday, which clash with DP's day shifts and it means we can't dtd at all on the Thursday, Friday or Monday! So the plan is to dtd Saturday and Sunday mornings only and hope for the best!

However, I ov on a different day each month, it's been as early as cd16 before and last month was cd21..... So I'm secretly hoping it'll be either early or late so we can get some more shagging in Grin

I think the key is going to be to chill out this month and not get too agitated about dtd as there's no point, we'll just have to do it when we can and not get our hopes up.

In other news my friend had her baby yesterday by emergency c section due to a difficult labour. Both are fine and baby looks very cute, can't wait to meet her Smile

DizzyNorthernBird · 23/05/2015 09:45

Ha ha purdie, personally I'm very good at keeping up the grumpy every month! Grin

Oysterbabe · 23/05/2015 10:06

Thanks guys. I don't really know what day DPO I am as I haven't tracked anything this month but I'm CD28 so I reckon probably 13DPO. My cycle is usually 28 or 29 days. I'll see what happens in next couple of days.

DH and I went out for a nice dinner the other night and were saying that actually it wouldn't be the worse thing if it takes a little while so we can have a bit of time as a married couple where we can have nights out and a few glasses of wine. I obviously don't really feel like that though as Sad now I think I'm out.

Hairstylisttoboris · 23/05/2015 10:11

oyster in sorry it feels like you are out. And rainy too. Boo for AF.

Oh pug do tell :)

sparkly lovely to see you :) been thinking and praying for you.

Just been and done the park run in the beautiful sun. Now for a fry up :)

ThePug · 23/05/2015 10:13

Jeez you lot would make rubbish detectives (except Dizzy who at least made some effort to investigate!) It was on the TTC after mc thread and she's on our stats. Starts with M At least now I know you all only want me for my gossip Hmm

Don't mope yet Oyster when it might be for nothing. And anyway you've had 2 weeks in Barbados so of course your cold now you're back home!

purds & juney

DizzyNorthernBird · 23/05/2015 10:17

Lol thanks pug, although I'd just like to point out that if this were a crime I would have solved it!! Grin

Admittedly I didn't think to look at that thread......

chopsface · 23/05/2015 10:18

Fucking back off to the grad bus never to return....

DizzyNorthernBird · 23/05/2015 10:21

Ha ha! Massive congrats to mystery bumsnetter! Grin

loopylou1984 · 23/05/2015 10:28

Oysterbabe · 23/05/2015 10:28
