Welcome to the Bumsnet Bus of BFPs

[Nomio230]

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.

Nomio, good luck with your last exam tomorrow, bet you can't wait to finish! Hope you find a job you love soon.

Hi Sammy, yes it was so nice to come home and shower! Can't remember going 4 days without a shower before
I bet you can't quite believe you're starting ivf , it all seems to have happened so fast. I have everything crossed for you.

Sammy glad you're excited about your IVF sample..fingers crossed for you, exciting times!

I have a pathetically short LP (9-10 days) and a poas addiction..I only get a few days to indulge myself 7dpo-10dpo (if I'm lucky)...I can't stop myself????

Spinning - you hit the nail on the head. I really can't believe we're starting IVF!

Hopes - ok, I'll let you off then :P fx for a stronger line in the morning! X

mega not my fault at all! No luck with 'friends' at the moment. Really looking forward to dinner with grown ups later in the week (not in your head!) and a break away from this stupid village with 10 days back home in 3.5 weeks time.

nomio & spinnin I know!! It really pissed me off

hopes it was awful running in that heat. Had an ice lolly there, an ice cream off the ice cream man who was parked blocking my drive so killed time by buying one, then finished off the Ben & jerrys in the freezer.

sammy the only problem is when everyone around you goes mad and starts being assholes you do start to wonder if it is all you!

hopes I can't wait to see if there are 2 lines tomorrow morning!!!

Cooooeeee knickers! Your public awaits!

sammy I'm with you all the way...have packed away my opks in the cupboard and hoping not to be dusting them off in August! Even though monitoring is expensive and a pain with work it's nice to know what's going on. Any other Clomid girls get scanned lots - nomio? I know eskimo you said not. It seems unusual. If we do more than one round we are thinking of going against clinic advice and doing it without to save some money, so I'm making the most this time!

spinning I love that you shed a tear at Lionel - it must have been incredible! It was brilliant even on the telly, he was so overwhelmed by it all. I cry at gigs all the time, I am a liability - no excuse other than being a soppy muppet . Hope you enjoyed your first shower at home...and the sleep!

mummy DH and I fantasise about moving from our urban pit into the country but I don't think I could handle village life, you are a brave woman! Hope you're ok today.

Waving to lucie, dizzynorthern and everyone else on the bus! Have been feeling a bit AF-y in the last 24 hours, maybe it's just icecream bloat though?? Boo to that!

Ooh and good luck nympho too - happy poas day! Hope AF stays away!

Morning!! This mornings line took 15 minutes to appear and no darker than yesterday's so must be evaps...never had evaps before so maybe it's the hot weather making them dry quicker which is resulting in evaps. Onwards and upwards!

Good luck nympho!!!

I don't know hopes, 2 evaps in a row would be pretty unlucky. Could you try a different brand tomorrow to be sure? 9dpo is still v. Early to get a positive anyway, so I wouldn't expect it to be strong. Not trying to get your hopes up, just want to make sure you've got the correct result. Xx

So sorry knickers but this still early so fx for you!

mega DP has always lived here so it made sense but u do struggle with all the dramas. Was much easier back home where there were too many people for everyone to keep track of. I got a late apology last night from her. Her DH works with mine and was in the van when I text and told him what was going on so no doubt he went home and told her what a nob she was being.

Sammy good luck with the IVF! It's great to be getting started.
hopes I too have a ridiculously short LP , I got a +ve opk on 28th May when AF was due 7th June. I managed to hold off testing until 11th June (2 weeks since on CB digi opk) and got my BFP. Keeping fx for you.

11dpo here and bfn for me. I knew it would be but tortured myself into testing anyhow. Oh well. Cycle 14 here I come.

Well I've got a very faint linev(can you see it) I'm not getting too excited because af due today so I would have expected a darker line and I don't 100% trust pound land specials. I'll buy a better test for tomorrow and let you all know how I get on

Sorry for me post i will catch up later (I've already had to resort to dry shampoo as peeing on a stick wasted previous getting ready for work time !)

I can see it nympho! The rest of you are all fiends for testing so early - boris 11dpo surely doesn't mean you're out for this round?

So pleased for the apology mummy - quite right too!

Wow, two possibles in the space of 24 hours! What is going on?! And long may it continue!!

knickers and nympho, get yourselves down to the shops and buy a decent test immediately!

Had a lovely evening last night. Went to the in-laws for a bbq wearing my new dress. Food was lovely and I finally got to sit in a garden and enjoy some sunshine.

Been up since 07.30 to drop DP off at work and on my way back my car said it was 28 degrees here already.....! I need to go running today....I'm thinking I might have to leave it until after 19.00 but it might still be too hot!

boris 11dpo is too early and you know it! But when would AF be due?

nomio good luck with the exam! Are you taking bear for good luck?

muumy it sounds like you're surrounded by arseholes! What is wrong with these people? I'm embarrassed, whoever said us Northerners were meant to be friendly? They're letting the side down!!!

I have no idea what to do with my day today!

nympho FX for tomorrow!!!

DizzyN I think Southerners are far more friendly – I envy you! Can’t wait for my trip down South where people hold doors for people, talk about the weather in the shops to the person in front and people let you out in the car! I am surrounded my arseholes up here! Carlisle has got to be better than in the sticks where I am.
Glad you had a lovely evening in your new dress, do not go running today you mad woman!

I think southerners are perfectly friendly mummy, but whenever I'm back at home people do seem even more chatty! DP is born and bred around here and he always comments about people being friendly up there too! Yes maybe it is a Carlisle thing!

I need a run, I'm feeling fat and disgusting and can't be arsed thinking about a diet! Yesterday I tried on some sale dresses that I'd nearly bought at full price in the spring....I would have had to go up a dress size if I bought them now!

Nympho, I can definitely see a line! I agree that you & Knickers need to go get FRERs immediately!

After having lived in North London, the Midlands & Lincolnshire, I think that people are about a thousand times friendlier up north! I love going back up there, as everyone is so nice. Even shop assistants will have a laugh with you, whereas down south most of them don't even look at you!

Dizzy, you will die if you go for a run in this heat! Thanks for the good wishes. I can't believe I am almost done!

I was born in the north but live in the south... I reckon it depends where you are. The southern town I currently live in is exceptionally friendly but the City I work in isnt friendly at all. I generally find northerners use shorter words and sentences but are friendlier.

I know 11dpo is to early for me but I know I'm out this month any how.

Congrats for the bfps! Looking promising :)

dizzyn I ran yesterday after 8pm and it was still rather warm on the up hill bits in town, by the river was just about cool enough... Maybe leave it till late...

I think it definitely depends where you are, I am sure it is mostly my shitty village – people with too much time on their hands – all very bitchy and cliquey. I just miss the anonymity of living down South – you aren’t surrounded by people you know all the time and people are too busy to bother with the inns and outs of everyones lives whereas here you only have to sneeze and the village knows about it.

Will do boris, I was meant to be doing a long run tonight but will just have to see how it goes I think. Lol at northerners using shorter words and sentences....I thought it was just me?!!

Sorry you think you're out this month. Sorry if this has been asked before, but have you had any tests done yet?

Ive had tests done, all ok really. DH hasn't had his SA done yet. He's waiting for another refer for something else so I'm in limbo. I didn't go back and see a gp about my random bleeding this month at OV time but will if it happens again.
I had a compete melt down about it all this morning, it just feels like month after month is slipping by...
