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!!

Thank goodness you had the strength to get rid of him, Eskimo. How are things going with you now? Do you have an appointment booked with a consultant?

I didn't meet DH till I was 33. There is no way I would have been ready for children in my early 20s I was to busy working for qualifications and building a career as society told me I should as a modern woman.

I am having children in my twenties but that is mostly luck at having found the right man so early in life. I am constantly having to fight off my own brain telling me that I should be focusing on a career. The pressure from society there is immense.

Another post all about me...
There is a girl I used to work with. Lovely girl.
We started our jobs at the same time.
Bought our first property the same summer.

Met our fellas a few months appart from each other.
She got married 6 weeks after me.
Now according to facebook she's pregnant.
Cheesy photo of a washing line with two adult t-shirts and a baby grow.

Grrr articles like that make me sad.

I met DH when he was 30 and I was 26. We started trying when I was 28 and I was 30 when I had DS. I'm now 33 and we've been trying since I was 31.

I was ready earlier but I hadn't met the right man.

Boris - how cringey can you get! Life is not a race though, and you will reach your babygoal eventually

Hi everyone!
Sorry to read about horrid AFs, rocky ferries and stupid media articles. My moan for the day is that FF took away my angry pubes this morning! I had to get up at 4.30 again so took my temp then and it was a bit lower, but still well above the cover line so not sure why it did that, hmpf! I hope it will put them back in a couple of days.

Oh, and I also forgot to hide the xbox, gaaah!! If he doesn't pick up when I try to ring home now (he has form for this) I probably won't bother again later. Am away for three days next week though so I can always hide it then, for longer, if he continues to be an arse

ah boris it's shit. You'll be able to out cheese her in the not too distant future. Promise.

I just went for a wee and found a big glob of ewcm on my bum cheek.

DH & I met when we were 18 but it took him 10 years to propose and he definitely wasn't thinking of babies sooner than that! Then another 9 months for the wedding and 6 months for thinking about ttc before we started this year and hey presto, I'm in my 30s (with him a few weeks behind).

pug- take it with you and then send him a photo of you playing on it

I find it really annoying that life spans and health have increased so dramatically, but evolution hasn't realised & adjusted our reproductive systems yet! When people died at 40, it made sense to have kids young, but these days we can easily live to our nineties.

I wasn't even sure I ever wanted babies until I met my DH at 26. Then I knew I did, but wanted to get to a certain point in my career, get the family house etc...definitely wasn't ready until I turned 30!

That is a brilliant idea, Queen!

Boris, you will get there soon & your baby will be way cuter than hers!

Actually..the day after I got promoted I was ready

eskimo Glad you found the strength to get rid of your past boyfriend , I do understand that as your age gets on that it might get harder to get pregnant but there are so many ladies that are well into there forties and having babies,

The nationwide advert you all cried at... Is it the best dad scarf one? I just blubber watching it too if so! Xx

Yes it is Sammy! It's as bad as the John Lewis Christmas adverts

Yep Sammy that's the one! I'm topping it off with a diy sos about 6 kids who's mum died of cancer

At least I've been stepping the whole time it's been on 15,196 done so far

Think we all deserve a large gin tonight

Ooh is that your daily total pikz or just while you have been watching the programme?

Yep, that is the one, Sammy!

Pikz, that is loads. Well done.

I am really struggling with the TWW this month. This is the first month I have had both Clomid & Progesterone & not been ill, so I am a bit hopeful. I just want to know if it has worked or not.

Our IVF referral is underway now, so at least there is hope if it hasn't.

Crossing everything for you nomio

Night that's my daily total. I'm trying for 15,000 a day which is hard with an office job and a toddler

Hello ladies, popping out of the woodwork to say hi this bus is much easier to catch up with these days but im still totally shit at posting!

boris god I cant stand those kind of announcements, seems it's a competition these days to come up with a different way to announce a pregnancy on facebook.

Another one here who was never ready in my 20s to have children, It suddenly hit me when I turned 30 and after reading mumsnet conception boards for months

nomio how many dpo are you?

Oh wow has anyone else seen the 'is there a line? False positive?' Thread?

Just looked at it bean! There's hope for everyone!! Xx

I had to go have a look. I am so pleased for that woman. I love stories like this!

Quickly stopping by to say hello been so busy and trying to keep up via fb. Hope everyone is ok. Love to you all. Fertile window starts tomorrow, off to clear the shelves of OPKs in home bargains tomorrow!! eek!!!
