Bumsnet - where we get it on and get our BFP!!

[Rainy34]

This is the bus where we will get our BFP, hop on with your summer skirts and grab the bfp 's!!

Thanks chops. It alternates between brown and pink. Can't remember seeing red at all.
fig when AF came after seven days of the wtf spottingtypestuff, did you ov at roughly your normal time? Ie it wasn't that ov was then delayed by about the same amount of time?

I saw my SIL last night, first time i have seen her in months!!, She made a passing comment before and after christmas that her and my brother in law would be trying for a baby this year and that they she just knew that she would fall pregnant straight away, she asked me last night if i had any luck yet, I said no , trying to be as vague and casual, she said oh thats a long time you have been trying, i said yeah, it can take a while, anyway what about you are you pregnant yet, she said oh no we are not trying to the end of the year ! I smell bull s**t ,

Aw bloody hell girls! Sending love to you lovelies with temp drops and AFs.

Pixa I'm good today, operation baby has resumed!! How are you? When do you go. Id love a log cabin, I may have pulled MrFs arm into Dubai in Nov (fxfxfxfxfxfxfx) I need a break so bad!!

Sammy hang in there lovely you are going to get your little baby xx

Woolly I'm glad I have you and the other ladies for hand holding and crying. We WILL get there soon

Dizzy thank you I hope you have a lovely weekend planned too

Watching with interest August...esp re ovulation post AF on next cycle. If no red then it sounds like spotting to me. Pretty sure that's what I've got too, even though I'm desperate for it not to be!

mummy woohoo for your very nearly BFN!! hope you're having a great day with DS -are you and DH feeling any better/further forward today after talking?

Woolly hope the sun is shining on you for your fabulous day out.

dizzy I'm joining you in the bumsnet hot tub...budge up now please!

sammy playing really loud music so you can't hear that inner voice anymore - it must be silenced! You're on the start of a very exciting road, and every step closer.

Hope everyone else is having a good day! Knickers still all clear here but I'm on the brink of emotional meltdown (for no real reason, I hasten to add!) so I suspect AF part 2 may be around the corner. Wish there was a stick you could piss on for this stuff. You'd have thought they'd have invented one for everything by now!

Can I join again?

###ttc 1, cycle 7, BFP due not anytime soon###

So I tried joining a few months back but couldn't keep up! So I'm going to make a better effort this time. I've been lurking though so have been keeping up with all of your news.

night I hope you got my second message about fostering, any questions you have just ask. Good luck

purdie Congratulations, I can tell how much this means to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy

Pixa You seemed excited and full of hope this cycle, how are you after your bfn? This ttc malarkey is so frustrating isn't it.

Rainy Talk about speaking the obvious That's a long time you've been trying' Really? I hadn't noticed? Sometimes people can be insensitive without evening knowing it, sending you

CD 23 here, not expecting bfp as DH had to give a SA on ov day! So couldn't dtd for two days before. Did dtd the evening of SA though crappy sperm

Ah it was pixa inviting us all to her hot tub not dizzy...of course...I hope you've packed enough towels for all of us?

Rainy that's just bizarre...does she think it's a competition? Hope you're not too narked.

Twinkle I think she know exactly what she is doing, I got really upset last October when she was asking about it and made reference to her thinking she would fall straight away and she said she wanted a baby too, I thought after that she might realise what she is saying!!

Mega I think she is in competition with me as she said at christmas "oh i bet you will want to get pregnant first as you have been trying before me" , i said its not a race!!

I was so close with her once, we spent a lot of times doing nice girly things and hoped we would have children around the same time, now i try to steer clear of her, i don't need people like that in my life, she has upset me one to many times that now i can be bothered with her !!

Will update mega . Sounds equally confusing for you.
rainy I think bullshit is the operative word there!
Hallo twink!

Rainy people are stupid. Visualise slapping them - it helps!

Mega it has helped me. I don't know about him though. We did agree to try again straight away so that's good.

Pixa I want a place in the hot tub too!!

Twinkle welcome back !

Anyone with epo experience. I took it the month I got my bfp. Should I not use it during my wtf cycle and start again next month? Not temping this month so won't be sure of ov but could stop at near positive opk? But cd6 now so is it even worth it?

twink test date please and a bit of positive thinking!!

Rainy that's so crappy of her! I think long time ttc really makes you think about what you're saying. I will now never ever ask anyone when they're going to have children.

Thanks for all your support ladies, it means a lot. Xx

August yes everything seems to be as normal this cycle. FF put ov at CD11. Although it's my first month temping I think I always ov early I have short cycles. Last month was 29 days which is long for me but that didn't include the spotting.

Rainy some people have no idea. Sounds like she is trying to cover up so she should know how it feels and you would think she would be a bit more sensitive

Hi Twinkle nice to see you back, yes it is hard to keep up here!

Hope you are wrong Mega and it's not AF part 2 for you. I bet you are fed up now waiting to see what happens.

Sorry for the temp drops Pixa, Night and Sammy.

Good news on the nearly bfn Mummy although that is strange to say at least it means you can start trying again soon. Hope you are ok.

Sammy it totally makes you think what you should and should not say!! hope your cramps have not come to much and af stays away

can't remember if i have updated my stats as af came early for May so this is my new stats!!!

Rainy34, cycle 12, ttc 1 bfp 17 june

Just popping on with a massive supply of gin, tea, cake and hugs xxx

Rainy I have updated your stats. Thank you. I can't remember who else left the bus and who to keep on so may need to delete next month when stats don't get updated.

DizzyMerry Thanks, I will.

Rainy I feel your pain, I have a PITA sister too. She has undoubtedly told me that if I get pregnant, it would not be fair. You are not alone, Rainy!

Frog Yay for operation baby resuming. I am good thanks, we go tomorrow to Harrogate, then move to our log cabin on Monday. Dubai should be good, I have only ever been through the airport on a stopover there. Ha ha.

Mega Speaking of inventing things, I am surprised they haven't got a hcg monitor similar to the blood glucose level monitors. Surely it's possible?

Twinkle Nice to see you again. I am good, thank you. I am a bit pissed off that I was given false hope by my body, but we're actively doing everything we can really. BFNs are crap, the whole process is crap, but it will be all worth it so staying positive for DH. Fingers crossed for you. My DH is also going for a SA in two weeks.

Mummy, Mega & Everyone Else, I would happily accommodate you all in the hot-tub if you could all budge up and squeeze in.

Mummy, I use EPO but tend to have OPKs to guide me, I usually have it for the first ten days at least.

Went to see the lovely in-laws. MIL, each week, shows me how far she has been getting with knitting a cardigan for an upcoming newborn. 't is so lovely, but painful. Sob.

DH is much better with the hire car now. I want to buy one.

Thanks *Pikz! Hope you are well.

Thank you all for the welcome!

DH just got a call from the GP saying that he needed to go in to talk about his SA results. The receptionist wouldn't tell him what it was about. I'd already made an appointment for Tuesday bit they've moved it to Thursday, how annoying! Do they not realise how hard it is waiting for this stuff?

Rainy that's the right attitude to have. When I was 18 my boss told me that she doesn't bother with people in her life that she doesn't like and surrounds herself with kind people. Always remembered that but it's harder than it seems!

mummy sorry I shall try harder slaps wrist Test date is 3rd June.

Sammy I've been following your news for a while now, I really hope.it works out for you

Thanks Mummy, I take EPO each month, the first month i took it it was cd5, i dont see why you could not start taking it now, maybe google just to be safe!!

Pixa what is wrong with people!! I try not to let them see it bothers me, then they can't get satisfaction from there ways!!

He just got another call from the GP asking him to go in for a blood test, something related to his SA results but she didn't say what. What on earth is wrong? I'm worried now and got a bit annoyed with DH for just saying 'okay, when for?' and not asking any questions!

Hi twinkle That sounds exactly like something my DH would do...maddening!

It's here it's here AF is here the old red witch is HERE AT LAST!! CD1 mofos!!

Ok, so the odd congratulations first.... mega congrats on AF!! And mummy congrats on your nearly negative! Someone said on the MC thread that your body gears up to ovulate again from when HCG levels get down to about 50 and as the ICs will pick up as little as 10, when you get really faint lines you are basically ready to go again I'm glad DH has opened up a little bit. Give him time. Your bluebell walk looked lush.

twinkle welcome back! Hope you're well and good luck for this month. Sorry for the confusing GP messages. It seems to be fairly common that people have to go in for these things...

wooly what a lovely day for Kew! Did you see the giant inflated spices and give them a sniff??! My nephew got a bit of a choking fit from the chilli!

pixa send us the address of the hot tub and we'll see you there . Sorry for temp drop. Mine was the same - beautiful tri-phasic then.... boom.

night and sammy sorry for your charts too. I re-echo the sparkly advice that this is just one step closer to your BFP (or foster child in night's case!)

Rainy sorry for the rude SIL. Not needed.

August I have to say that if no red I wouldn't count it as AF?

I've been on a lovely bike ride today down in Surrey with DH. We stayed at his parents down there last night, which I'm never massively keen to do, but the ride today was my suggestion and I'm very glad we did now as it was beautiful.

STATS: ibeka, 32, TTC no.1, cycle 5, BFP 20th June

Hiya dolls!
