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.

Pug 10dpo today. Temp was highest of the cycle so af not coming today, but tomorrow would still be too early! I'll try and post chart...

The mobile website won't work
Will post chart when I get home. X

Madame don't be disgusted with yourself. Focus on losing weight and your end goal. You will get there

Sammy fx tightly crossed it's not AF cramps. High temp is a good sign.

I didn't do an opk yesterday and my temp shot up today! Hoping I have ov but will see what my temp does in the next couple of days and of course continue on with dtd just in case

I'm feeling sorry for myself. Close colleague had her 20 week scan yesterday evening and has tLked about it all day. Another colleague announced her pregnancy after a 12 week scan this morning, they've been swapping notes -
And scan pictures all morning. Then I had lunch with a friend who is due next week. She asks me everything we meet when DH and I will have kids. I'm running out of answers.
Pass the gin will you.

Oh Boris, sending hugs your way. It's so tough at work. You can't escape.

Can u tell your friend? Chances are she won't ask again if she knows you're trying and if she does she'll be more understanding about it. X

Yes I should have told her, we haven't told anyone but I'm starting to think it would help. The trouble is shes one of DHs friebds abd they have no confidentiality between them normally, I hope in this case they would but....

Oh Boris what a crappy day. Big hugs and wine for you! I think you should be able to tell your friend though. It is hardly something she could gossip about! Plus it would get her off your back! As for work just keep smiling, they may have had a hard journey and soon enough you will also be comparing notes. Chip up lovely x

.... Well... unless this is implantation bleeding (HA!)

BabyBumpHopeful, 31, TTC#1, Cycle 6, BFP Due July 27

le sigh... posting this on my lunchbreak at work so I'll read back later :)

Jeez Boris that is enough to make anyone turn to the bottle! I can't imagine how hard all of that chat at work must've been to sit through. Hearing stories like that make me glad I only have one (male) colleague! As mummy so wisely says, you will be able to join in one day and may be glad of the real-live people to talk to. I hope they cool it with the enthusiasm tomorrow though and today was just scan-excitement overload.

BBH Sorry AF has apparently got you. Have some after work

Sorry for the atomic baby bomb boris I told a work collegue, and I wish I hadn't because every month she asks me when I'm due on or if I've taken a test yet. Also if I say I've got a headache she thinks it's a sign that I'm pregnant! I've told her now that I've put it on hold because I can't bear her expectation on top of my own disappointment each month.

In other news I'm on cycle day 21 and have no symptoms, no symptoms at all!

Here is my promised chart - but please don't get excited, temp is always still high at 10dpo.
Doesn't look like AF is coming imminently though does it?! Fx she waits until Sunday at least! X

I lied, I'm constipated!

Fuck. Not an hour after just saying to Boris how glad I am not to have colleagues to drop baby bombs I've just had a skype call from SIL to tell us she is pregnant with #2. I smiled and congratulated by inside my stomach just dropped and I feel like such a failure all over again. This is SIL who we are about to spend two weeks on holiday with. Fanbloodytastic.

thepug commiserations. that's crap. Hope you can keep a lid on baby chat on holiday.

Oh Pug, I know how that feels. Big hugs to you. I felt awful when I found out my sil was pg. was so upset and jealous, and guilty for feeling jealous. But it does get easier I promise. It's good that you know before the holiday, at least you can get prepared. Xx

Oh Pug, that is horrible for you to have to deal with. I hope you don't find it too hard being around her.

Boris, your day sounds like a nightmare too. Baby bombs are exploding everywhere today.

I spoke to a friend earlier who is due in a couple of weeks. She got accidentally pregnant. I am really pleased because I love her to bits, but it is not fair!

Madame, don't beat yourself up over the weight gain. I was exactly the same & had to lose weight before I could get fertility help. I had been meaning to for ages, but that gave me the kick up the bum I needed. You will get there.

Pug sorry about SIL. What a kick in the teeth....

sammy I think last months chart looked like that too.... I hope it is a good sign this month.

Thanks mummy - I'm not hoping for a bfp (well obviously I am, but I'm not expecting one) - I just want AF to come at the right time for treatment!

Been puppy visiting again tonight, I wish I could bring one home now! X

Evening ladies,

Sammy dtd for fun?!..you lucky lady, enjoy! Keeping fingers crossed for the IVF and really hope AF doesn't arrive before the drugs.

DizzyM, I feel your pain, you really can have too much of a good thing!

Madame great new you ovulated, fx for you.

Putney I do really hope your journey is a short one...but not cycle 1

Mummy, I hope the appraisal went well, I'm sure it did seeing as you've already had a pay rise...well done!

Oh Boris, that sucks but it will be your turn soon. Have a gin on me

BabyBump sorry for AF but here's hoping the next cycle is your lucky one.

Nympho good plan to tell her you've put it on hold. I hope the constipation is a good sign for you!

Pug so sorry for SIL baby bomb lovely...like sammy said, better it was dropped now so you have time to get used to the idea before your holiday

Nomio sorry for your baby bomb too...definitely a bad day for baby bombs ????

Where the dickens is Robot hiding?

Another smallish temp rise today, if it goes up again tomorrow FF will confirm ov...I hope. Tbh though I'm done this cycle, DEFINITELY no more dtd, I'm really starting to feel like it's not meant to be, all of my positivity has been shagged out of me.

sammy I know lovely. I hope it's all times right for you.

knickers it was ok, I admitted to being distracted for the past 6 months at work. What with Dads partners cancer, ttc, FIL sudden cancer and death and the mc it had been a tough start but it can only get better surely!

I think you have done well to even keep going to work, Mummy. you have been through a hell of a lot lately. It is definitely your turn for some good luck.

Knickers, you can relax now. The horror of TTC sex is over for the month!

Boris, how is the bleeding doing now? Did you see your doctor about it?

Sammy, I really hope AF behaves & holds off until next week.

Eskimo, what cycle day are you on now? Are you feeling any happier?

Mummy you've had such a tough 6 months, you are definitely due some good luck

Thanks knickers & Nomio everyone on this bus and every other ttc bus deserves their bfp. I am feeling a bit down tonight feeling like this won't be the month. My boobs aren't hard like last time, just some stabby pains in one of them. Just feeling sorry for myself really.

Boris Nomio and Pug, so sorry you got baby bombed today or recently It will be our turn soon. It has to be.

Mummy Hope you're ok lovely

Hopes Hope you get a confirmed rise soon.

Sammy Keeping my fingers crossed that AF stays away.

Nomio I am still struggling with my emotions. Thanks for asking sugar I am quite stressed with work at the moment, so that's not helping. We have to plan for the new GCSEs, so despite all the 'gained' time we have now Year 11 have left, I am spending all my time planning and marking as my two year 10 classes and my three year 9 classes have all done end of term exams this week. It's a bit of a nightmare!

I am so preoccupied, I forgot to POAS this morning, so have no idea if I may be ovulating. I am CD9 today, so still very early. We DTD last night and DH said his end was touching my cervix He's never felt that before; I don't know if that's good or not- I read that it's supposed to be high before ov and low afterwards

Funny story everyone:

I got my DH's cousin an OPI mini nail set for her birthday a couple of weeks ago. When it arrived, I wanted to keep it- the colours are lovely! I told my neighbour about it and didn't think anything more about it, but couldn't resist ordering the set for myself as a birthday treat. It arrived today, so I thought I'd paint my nails before my birthday tomorrow. I chose a gorgeous light minty green and painted them. When my DH got in from work, I'd just finished and he looked at them and looked at me and said 'Errrr, you are getting that set for your birthday from [insert neighbour's name here]! I 'd had no idea, but my lovely neighbour has decided to buy me the same set... So I was faced with a dilemma... I could keep the colour I'd put on and hope that when she gave me the present, she wouldn't notice that I was already wearing one of the colours, or I could remove it completely, or I could find a darker green and paint over my nails with that. I chose the latter. I managed to find a darker green colour and paint over them! My nails now have a base coat, two coats of light mint green and two coats of a teal type darker green, with a top coat as well! I will act surprised when she gives me the kit, bless her. So thoughtful!
