Bumsnet- you would be amazed at where we stick our thermometers to help us get our BFP's

[Reluctantnympho]

New cycle = new hope

Ugh, massive temp drop this morning. It was at 4am though and I had almost had a heart attack when my alarm went off as was so fast asleep!

Morning all. Monday again! I'm sorry we're all feeling so down. We need a bfp to raise the mood. Who is testing next? for all (along with some cocktails and fancy nibbles)

ibeka oh I am so sorry about your sil xxxx mega is right - your baby is going to be so much better, cause you're not a dick. high fives mega for her way with words

eskimo keep positive lovely. You've got your drugs, those eggs are gonna be flying out of your ovaries soon and you'll get your bfp. Agree with pug, tell us about your doggies.

sammy a puppy! A lurcher puppy! Adorable! When does he/she come home?

mummy hope everything is back to being rosy with your dp.

pug boo to the temp drop. I don't temp but does that mean AF is on the way?

boris how you doing? Sorry for the bfn but twerly!

purdie!sparkly! lovely to see you both here. And all our other grads you show us that all our hard work and heartache is absolutely worth it.

sorry if I've missed anyone

I'm sat at the back of the bus so I can keep sneakily checking my knickers...

had a lovely, hectic weekend which kept my mind off things. Cd43 and AF not here, but lots of AF symptoms so fx won't be long. Trying to think of the positives - the fact I had a tlp means I must be ovulating, right? and it's made my DH really really realise how much he wants a baby (he did before but think reality hit home and he was SO happy). I didn't POAS this morning - that's progress!

ive now realised all the people I didn't name check. Sorry. Dangerous game trying to remember everyone!

I know so little about temping Pug - could the alarm putting the shitters up ya have affected it??

Sorry for not posting much. Now 12 dpo and bfn - AF due after lunch today unless the supplements and soy have disrupted my cycle, which given that I forgot to bring rampage to work.....

Ibeka sorry to read things have been tough

queen how's knicker watch?!

Rampage? Tampax. damn.

boris did wonder what rampage was! Thought maybe a new superfood. Sorry for bfn

Knicker watch is uneventful. I keep feeling 'damp' so thinking AF has started, then go to the loo and nothing there. Bored now!

Doctor phoned oh, don't know exact numbers but his sperm count is low, she told him it's not the end of the world , she is referring us to fertility, he is going for another test after we come back off holiday , he is going to do more exercise and watch his food in take, don't feel as bad as how I did

rainy sounds reasonably positive. Glad you don't feel as bad. One step closer to getting your baby. X

Finally got on the PC so I can properly read back :)

Rainy I agree with Boris, you are another step closer to getting your baby. Glad you don't feel as bad

Anything yet Queenbee? how is knicker watch?

Boris I did wonder what rampage you were going on....Sorry for bfn :(

Mega hope the 8am physio was ok?

Pug, sorry for the temp drop. 4am is a little harsh. I have to admit I don't set an alarm, as DS is an alarm and I just stick the thermometer in the minute I stir any time after 4am admittedly but I would definitely be temping later if it wasn't for him.

Baby Bump, I think the 6 month thing is often very hard as a hurdle in many ways as it as you said is suddenly half a year. However your right its only 5/6 goes at the dice and the average is only 20% per cycle if you hit it perfectly

Dizzy Merry I miss all the banter on here too

Sparkly so lovely to see you, sorry you have been feeling so rotten.

Fifi hope the cottage is lovely

Nympho well done, sound like a great way to survive a baby shower

Frog have you got over hangover yet?

Purdie, you, the consultant my mum and DH all think it will be within the next 5 months. I hope all 4 of you are right!

Sammylou, not long to go now...when do you start?

Mega loving the chair!!! brilliant!!

Ibeka you baby will be better. FACT.

Eskimo when is the clomid starting?

Mummy how are you feeling?

Hopes up welcome...sorry I've been so delayed. Have you found a new preggo chair?

Pixa how are you?

Hope I caught everyone...I can't scroll any further back...

Big love to everyone I missed. Hope all the grads are ok.

Had a positive opk this morning...it was dark purple in the test line...not sure I've ever had them that strong. Have jumped DH in lunch break so crossing everything.

We have just had our offer accepted on a house we love! I am so excited!

Off to scroll back now & see what I have missed.

Nomio very exciting!!!

Pikz, that is good news. Hopefully just knowing that nothing is wrong will relax you a bit & make you more likely to fall pregnant.

Mummy, I agree that what DP said was hurtful, but think as others have said, that it was just typical maleness. My DH used to say things like that in the past & I used to react the way you did, but he would always come back afterwards & explain what he really meant. I think men just panic when they are put on the spot & rubbish comes out their mouths!

Pug, it makes me really sad to see it so quiet here too. We need a recruitment drive. Maybe we should offer free cake!

Fig, nice to have you back. I completely understand how TTC overwhelms your life at times. I have been feeling like that lately too.

Ibeka, your baby will be beautiful and clever & evil SiL’s will be a noisy brat! You will get there soon, honestly.

Rainy, that sounds reasonably hopeful. Some of the ladies on here have done wonders for their partner’s sperm by making them down supplements & vitamins.

Pug, are you one of those super sleek businesswomen who fly here there & everywhere, yet never have a hair out of place? You seem to have a very glamorous job!

Hi Honey, welcome to our crazy bus. Everyone on here is lovely & will support you through to your BFP.

I haven’t tested yet today (13DPO), but got a BFN again yesterday. I am pretty sure I am out. I am seriously struggling lately. All I can think about is how desperate I am for a baby & how unfair it is that everyone else can pop them out at the speed of light, but no matter what I do, it just doesn’t work. It is starting to affect every single part of my life.

Great news on the house nomio! Can you tell us a little bit about it?

It is a 3 bed semi, decent size garden. It has a lovely kitchen, very similar to in our last house, nice living room, downstairs toilet, plus upstairs bathroom. It has a garage in the garden too, so DH is happy. That was his number one criteria! It is in a nice green area & has bus stops & local shops & pubs nearby. I just love it!

The couple who currently own it have a baby girl, so I am hoping to absorb some of her fertility!

I can put some pics up if you like.

Ooh yes please nomio it sounds fabulous!

Yes please to pictures!

Our future home (hopefully)!

I am scared something is going to go wrong again, after being let down with the last house.

More pics.

nomio the house looks amazing, you must be so excited! When will you move? Hopefully this will take your mind off ttc for a while & you'll get your bfp when you're distracted with housey stuff

Hi to everyone else! Need to read back to see what you've all been up to

Thanks, Dizzy. I really hope so! I am not sure when we will be able to move, as the sellers haven't found their new house yet. Hopefully it won't take too long though.

How are things with you?

Looks lovely nomio! Love the kitchen :)

nomio how exciting! Looks lovely. Fx the purchase sails through quickly and you can fill those bedrooms with babies!

On the next thread shall we have a super inviting headline and intro? Would be nice to see this place busy.

I've booked myself a Drs appointment next week for if my AF hasn't shown by then. I want to get on with getting a bfp!

ibeka sorry you dick of a sister inlaw has baby bombed you, yours will be around the corner, keep your chin up and dont let her see that it is effecting you !!

Boris really hope af stays away for you!!

Nomio great news on the house , looks a nice tidy house and hopefully you can place your furniture in and not have to do too much work,pictures look lovely!!

Queenbee hope bfp comes soon, it would be great more people on here and be busy like it was

Thanks everyone for all of your kind words and support, would not know what i do if i did not have you all,

Good thinking, Queen. Do you have any specific worries about why you are not getting PG?

It used to be almost too busy to keep up on here, but our BFP rate has been too high & everyone has moved on, which is good and bad all at the same time!
