We don't care if you obsessively chart, temp & OPK, or just do the deed a couple of times a month. As long as you want a baby & can talk copious amounts of rubbish, this is the place for you. Grin

DizzyM, so sorry for af - and wary too, so unfair!
Can I have a look at your chart? X

loopylou1984 · 28/06/2015 17:48

*early

Reluctantnympho · 28/06/2015 18:26

Sorry for early af dizzy
Had a terrible weekend here, sickness bug, followed by the discovery of nits Shock and all of the rigmarole that that entails for a family of 6! Followed by a 6.30 am text to say that a colleagues baby had been born. Just off to check the crawlers haven't got into my hair! Wish me luck!

Hairstylisttoboris · 28/06/2015 18:32

Oh dizzym I had an 17day cycle in january, was so confusing. Hope your body start conforming to your expectations soon. In the mean time be good to yourself.

loopylou1984 · 28/06/2015 19:19

Oh nympho :(. That sounds like a terrible weekend!
Has everyone had the sick bug?
Hope you don't find any critters in your hair! Makes me itchy just thinking about it! Xx

HopesUpKnickersDown · 28/06/2015 19:30

Sorry for early AF and the short cycle DizzyM, so frustrating when our bodies throw in a curve ball ????

Oh Nympho I feel your pain, I battled nits most of last summer, twas a feckin nightmare. Sorry you've been so poorly this weekend..when is AF due? Dare I ask if it could be morning sickness?

DizzyMerry · 28/06/2015 20:19

Here's my chart sammy. I'm assuming it's AF started off pink and is now a tiny bit of brown. Probably taking time to show. Oh well on to cycle 16.

Reluctantnympho · 28/06/2015 20:22

knickers Af due on wed def morning sickness but terrible burning pain in tummy makes me think it's a bug. Only me with the lurgi sammy and thankfully only one dc infested with nits! (Remind me again why I want another!)

DizzyMerry · 28/06/2015 20:26

Sorry missed your post nympho. I remember the horror of nits from primary school but thankfully haven't had the buggers since. Sorry you've not been well either. Get well soon.

Knickers our bodies are mind boggling things, add ttc just adds to the confusion Confused

HopesUpKnickersDown · 28/06/2015 20:52

Nympho fingers crossed for you on Wednesday! I had two kids over for a sleepover on Friday night, it was like herding cats...I too found myself wondering why I want another...for a brief moment Smile

Cd20, 6dpo here...no symptoms to report Hmm

Mummyofonesofar · 28/06/2015 22:18

Hi everyone. Missing you all. Had a busy weekend with DS, now stuck doing the ironing. Big dip today and second day of spotting, yesterday was red spotting once then nothing but today's has every time and all brown. Pretty sure I'm out Sad

Welcome to the Bumsnet Bus of BFPs
DizzyMerry · 28/06/2015 23:26

It's definitely AF. Now I'm convinced my body's broken Sad

loopylou1984 · 29/06/2015 06:48

Dizzym - you are not broken. Fx this is just a one off weird cycle, wait and see what happens this month. Meanwhile you've got the ball rolling on investigations haven't you?

Mummy - sorry for af... And for the ironing!

Nympho - hope you're feeling better very quickly.

Massive temp drop this morning, .7 from yesterday's temp - no wonder I felt so poorly yesterday if my hormones were changing that quickly! I stupidly let a bit of hope in following yesterday's high temp, so this hurts this morning. Still, with any luck at least af should arrive today in time for the scan Thursday! X

Putneymummy1 · 29/06/2015 08:15

Lovely to see you all! My weird 'symptoms' seem to have subsided today. Had diarreah and now got the opposite! Had extreme tiredness of the type that sleeping couldn't cure! Feel ok today. Had period type cramps but mild. Had stabby pains on left lower abdomen. No IB tho. Dizzyness too which has stopped. Still bloated and feel fat! So I reckon it was a virus. Earliest I could test woulb be Wed or Thurs but might just wait for af on 6th as I'm pretty sure I'm not pg. Hope you're all ok and enjoying the sunshine! Smile

DizzyNorthernBird · 29/06/2015 08:42

Morning!

nympho sorry for the illness, and nits! What a mare! I'm dreading the day DP's kids bring them home, they must be hard work to get rid of, pesky blighters.

dizzy/mummy/sammy sorry for the temp drops/ AF.

mummy how's yours looking today?

dizzym hopefully it's just a random, one off weird cycle, like my 44 day cycle that I've just had! These things happen. Put it behind you and push ahead onwards to next month. You definitely aren't broken x

putney you've got loads of time left so don't write yourself off just yet! I would wait until the 6th if I were you Smile

Has anyone seen pixa?

Woke up with a headache for the third day running today Sad, I'm thinking it's the weather rather than AF though. Feeling shattered today, emotionally drained too after a challenging night at work last night. Sometimes my job is so hard Sad. Last shift this evening though then I'm finished for my hols, phew!

It's a glorious morning here, bring on the heatwave!

megarobotdiscoparty · 29/06/2015 08:57

Hiya!

How has the bus been over the weekend?? Sorry to see so many AFs/BFNs but very excited for Sammy as this week IS THE WEEK! You’re bound to feel a bit deflated about this last cycle – isn’t there just always that little tingle of hope before you start treatment that you won’t actually need it - but this is the main event now!

So sorry for the beginnings of AF mummy those boobs seemed so promising, I was so hopeful for you too – bah and pish! Has it ramped up at all, are you sure you’re definitely out?

merry I’m so sorry about this cycle – what a blow. Are you feeling any better this morning for sleeping on it? I really think you should chase a Clomid referral… a consultant appointment is not that much in the scheme of things, and then most places will just let you get on with it more or less so not too expensive to go private at all. In fact, I’m private at an NHS place and am paying more than my NCT buddy who has gone completely private! Do you think it might be worth investigating?

Sorry for those poorly Putney and nympho - and a nit attack too! Noooo…. Hope you all get well really soon. Good luck for weds nympho - have you tested yet?

Hello my lovely knickers! I hope you’ve had a lovely (if busy) weekend?

How is boris getting on after your bbq of joy??

And eskimo - I really hope you’re feeling a bit brighter now your cycle is further on.

How are you nomio? How is the studying going?

Rainy this sounds very promising indeed – happy CoC season to you Grin

Hope Pug is having a fabulous holiday!

How’s the fitness action plan going madame? Congrats on your run! I’ve had a very lazy weekend, need to get back on it this week!

Dizzynorthern final push to annual leave now – come on, you can do it!

CoC report: Got DH to jump on a bus home Friday night so we could get a bit of dtd in before the weekend! Didn’t manage any at my mum’s and fell asleep as soon as DS went to bed last night, so a poor effort really. Not expecting any results this cycle, will be twiddling thumbs til AF!

Had a great weekend and my mum’s, but sadly didn’t get to see my niece as she was poorly Sad. Still had a lovely time tramping round the woods and lolling in the garden. Felt a bit sad to get back to our urban concrete jungle up north, so spent the last few hours of Sunday chucking as many plants in the yard as possible in a bid to brighten the place up a bit! Love a bit of yard-ening!

Weather is just picking up here too, sun definitely about to burst out from behind a cloud. Looking forward to spending my lunch hour lying on the grass in the sunshine! Hope everyone’s ok!

Putneymummy1 · 29/06/2015 08:59

Thank Dizzy. I'm back at work now so will hopefully be too busy to obsess! Nah....! Wink Sorry your job is stressful. Mine will be like that again too I think. Sorry for anyone who's out this month. See you on next month's bus x

chopsface · 29/06/2015 09:10

Gosh what a bad morning in here with all the af's and sickness and nits! Hope the day improves for you all as much as possible Cake

Sorry to Lucie for your cancelled cycle :-( hope you didn't lose too much money from your missed flights etc and can try again soon x

Mummyofonesofar · 29/06/2015 09:51

Must read back!!!

mega & Dizzy it stopped yesterday, I didn't manage to get a temp because I couldn't sleep waiting for DP to get home from seeing ACDC, then DTD at 2am because for once he was up for it! I didn't get off to sleep until 3am then woke up every hour or so, when I took my temp it was really low considering how disturbed my sleep had been so didn't note it. Then light AF started this morning. Not feeling as rubbish as I thought I would. Felt pretty low over the weekend about it - hence no posts, but have had a great weekend with DS to make up for it. But onwards and upwards to cycle 5! BFP due 26/07!

Mummyofonesofar · 29/06/2015 10:07

Pug If you see this I hope you have a great holiday!!

Sammy At least you survived the BBQ and no one mentioned babies! Sorry for your temp drop, onwards and upwards to IVF cycle and getting your beautiful baby!

Sorry for early AF DizzyMbut at least the next cycle can start sooner, maybe Sammy* had your extra LP days? Mine went pink, brown and now red, stupid AF playing tricks on us. You are not broken, your body just knew this wasn’t the month and got you onto the next one sooner. Big hugs x

nympho sorry for your rubbish weekend, I reacted badly with DS got nits the first time and just cut his long hair short! Such a panic I would get them too and with curly hair that would be a nightmare. Hope it is all sorted now.

Morning DizzyN sorry for your headache lovely, drink lots of water!

Putney hope you feel better soon, don’t write yourself off! The good thing with thing bus is we never move onto next months Grin

mega I was so excited about the boobs but as soon as they deflated I guess I knew deep down. Shame about your poor CoC effort but you got some DTD done so fx for you! Where abouts are you? Grey here……

DizzyNorthernBird · 29/06/2015 10:13

Ahh Flowers mummy but I'm glad to hear you're focussing on moving forward. Shall we make a pact to both get our bfps next cycle? Although my bfp is due a full week after yours! Fooking long cycles bah!! Grin

I fear the crazy may have kicked in already and I'm only on cd4 Hmm. Just spent the morning lurking on the ante natal threads which has got me down and I've just realised a bfp next month would put my due date in April '16 Sad. Why on earth do I do this to myself. I might have to consider starting my mn embargo earlier than planned otherwise at this rate I'll be stressed to the max by the time my window starts Confused. Must.........put down.......iPad.................

Has anyone seen frog lately? Where are you frog, are you ok?

Mummyofonesofar · 29/06/2015 10:28

DizzyN Sounds like a plan, BFPs for us both! I do that to myself too, worked out my EDDs a couple weeks ago and have them saved in my phone - this new cycle would be 6/4, then 4/5, then 1/6, then 29/6, then 27/7 Sad The dates roll around quickly don't they....

Mummyofonesofar · 29/06/2015 10:29

That reminds me - everyone who has had AF, please give me up to date BFP dates for the ###STATS###

Putneymummy1 · 29/06/2015 11:32

Well I'm 9 days post first static smiley!! I'm not sure what that actually make me dpo wise. Any advice gratefully received! I'm cd 23 x

Mummyofonesofar · 29/06/2015 11:52

Putney You would probably ov the day of the second smiley, I ov the day after the second smiley and 3 days after LH surge on cheapies but this is less common (except on this thread where a few of us do). So you are likely to be 7 or 8DPO.
