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.

Robot, is your 'office' really a seedy strip club? Come on, 'fess up!

Pug, your post made me want to cry. I feel so, so sorry for you and anyone else who has been through a MC. I think taking to SIL would be a good idea. Hopefully she will understand how hard it is for you.

No sign of any knicker snot here. I am feeling a bit left out.

I agree with everyone pug, baby bombers are no fun especially when they're nice so you want to feel happy for them but really you want to be nowhere near them. I think you are one strong lady. As are you Mummy! What a hell of a year! Getting all the bad over and done with so you will be able to fully concentrate on the good for the rest of it I hope. Like the coma lady in Amelie with sleep.

I woke up today to a temperature drop and spotting. The witch is definitely coming and early as well. Oh well must look on the positive side - if AF arrives for real tomorrow at least my day 21 won't be on a Sunday if I ever need another blood test . When does AF stop being disappointing? lol.

AF never stops being dissapointing madame or if it does it's because it's heartbreaking

I am with you there, Boris. Every month gets harder.

CoC here, so maybe this will be the month!

Oh nomio at first glance of a stick pic I thought someone had got a BFP! A very positive opk is definitely the next best thing though - go get your spunk!

I shall be peeing on mine after I've walked the dog. Fx for one like yours.

Boris Have your colleagues been all quiet on the bump-front today?

Sorrry Pug. Hopefully I will have one in a couple of weeks!

Happy peeing!

the pug Oh no loads of swapping notes on pregnancy issues today. There are only two of us in the office who aren't mothers/ aren't pregnant. I spent most of the day with headphones in.

Mega - I feel ok about the drugs, they're arrive on Saturday which is a bit scary! I'm still cramping, but DH seems to think I said this last month too. Hope you're wrong about AF being imminent for you.

Mummy - I think I'll love the mums race too if I ever get to be in one! I'm very competitive. Oooh hope your green snot is a good sign!

Eskimo - Hope you've had a lovely birthday!

Pug/DizzyM - nope, still cramping, but as I said to Mega, apparently I had this last month too.

DizzyM - sorry for the confusing temps/opks. Hope you get an answer soon.

Madame - sorry for AF. As Boris said, it doesn't stop being disappointing.

Boris - sorry about your colleagues. Before my pg colleague left I thought I might have to gag her. Poor thing not being able to eat pate! Gah!

Ding ding! Finally something I can be pleased about!

Woohoo for ovulation pug! Xx

YES Pug! Bat this one out of the park!!

Sammy Sat is so soon -eek! Please talk us through the stages as they happen, I've had so many friends go through it but still don't know the process. I don't mind AF being imminent - have written off this cycle as haven't ovved, so would much rather have a short cycle so I can crack on with the next. How is your beautiful pup?

nomio - another ov! Get on it my love! Sadly my office is slightly less interesting than that...just me putting my feet in it as usual big mouth robot! I'm throwing you some knicker snot btw. Would hate you to feel left out

madame it will be marginally less disappointing for me if it turns up at a reasonable time...

boris seriously?? thoroughly insensitive of them, and merciless when you can't get away from it. Please get your revenge in some brilliant way. Or I'll come in there and sabotage their spreadsheets! And make them think it's baby brain! then shout "hand-job!" and run away!

Yes mega - of course I will, as long as you guys don't mind?
The meds are being delivered Saturday, but I won't start taking anything until Thursday after my baseline scan (or earlier if AF rocks up before Monday! )

Puppies are totally gorgeous, we're going to make a final decision on which one to have next week! Xx

sammy I would love to see your updates if that's OK with you, I know that's probably going to be me next year but I still don't know so much about what happens. Plus I know we all want to be here cheering you on! I'm excited for you

Pug go smash that!

mega I can't imagine how frustrated you must be. GoC (gin o'clock)?

No way sammy - it's fascinating, I want to hear every step of the way! I can't imagine how to choose...do you feel drawn to any? Are their personalities showing at all yet? Bless the wee scamps. TOO flipping cute.

madame ooh I think it might be...

Thanks DizzyM & madame I hope so.

Wahoo for gloop mega !!! I had gloop on bfp month so fx for us both! Don't underestimate the work experience girl, they are no longer protected at that age!

All offices are rude, surely? Though I work in the clearest one yet.

nomio yay for CoC!!!! Get on him!

DP has had a feel and agreed my boobs are getting harder and seems to also be pinning all him hopes on this month. At least we can both be equally disappointed!

sammy so excited that the drugs come soon!!! Good luck lovely. No AF allowed early!

Pug YAY!!! CoC for you missus!

sammy We definitely want to hear all about your treatment! I'll have to try and check in from holiday next week to see how it's all going

mega . That is all.

boris I suggest you keep your earphones in for the next few months. Maybe start singing along if you can still hear them in the background.

nomio Has the deed been done in your household yet? Waiting for DH to decide he's not too full from dinner still here!

mummy Oh I so hope these are good signs for you but I agree you need to be careful not to get too excited. When might you test? Another reason I'll have to keep checking in from hol!

The deed has just been done, Pug & I am currently laying here fighting the urge to stick my bum on a pillow! Tell DH to man up & do his duty! It would be so cool if we both got PG this month!

Mummy, I really hope the hard boobs are a good sign. How long until you will test?

Sammy, I definitely want to hear about your IVF journey and be able to support you through it.

Boris, sounds like your office is a tough place to be right now. I can't think of any practical solutions, but we are all here if you need to let off steam.

Pug Saturday as DP is away Saturday night and probably asleep Monday and can't wait til Tuesday!! May even test extra early tomorrow to see a bfn and get over it haha

Wouldn't it just nomio ! There has been a severe shortage of bfps on this bus recently so let's hope we can turn things around this month

mummy nooooo don't do it, not tomorrow! That'd be super early wouldn't it? Fx for Saturday though!

I have just realised I haven't packed any ttc paraphernalia yet! Fortunately I can do without the opks now but I suppose I should put a couple of ic preg tests in just in case. At the most I'll be 14dpo on the day we head home though so I'll probably try not to before we get back. Will definitely be packing my thermometer, but thinking the heat might skew temps? Or are our bodies very clever at regulating bbt regardless of external temperatures?

Sammy I'm so excited for you and would love to hear all about it. We may have to make that decision in the next few months so would be get a little clued up.

Yay for ov nomio and pug.

I'm hoping for loads of bfp's this month so fx for everyone.

Another faint line on an opk so I'm thinking of just giving up this month because it's really getting to me and in the back of my mind I'm thinking there's no point continuing to dtd if I'm not even going to ov. My chart wasn't looking too bad so far so I was expecting to ov. I have posted a pic of my chart if anyone has some wise words to offer.

ThankS everyone. You are all so lovely, I'll keep you updated as much as I can!

DizzyM - looking at your chart I'd say you ovd early on cd8. I think FF won't recognise it because there aren't enough temps beforehand (I think it likes to have 6!). When do u normally ov? If u do end up getting help them feel free to ask me anything. Xx
