Welcome to Bumsnet-home of talking crap, speculating about Blairgowrie & hopefully a few BFPs!

[Nomio230]

Whether you have just started trying or been at it for years. Using IVF, AI, or just good old fashioned shagging, all are welcome.

Come join our crazy bus of laughter, tears and friendship on our way to BFP land.

Congratulations to you and DP dizzy.

Congratulations to you too beaut and good luck. Hope you're super busy in no time.

Second trimester already night? time seems to be flying by.

Definitely speak to your boss lily and fx you get that well deserved promotion.

Thank you DizzyM. How are you feeling?

I'm ok thanks beaut. Trying to shake of this cold that I've had for a week now, which DD kindly passed on!

*Off

Tmi warning!
This month af is Very heavy! I normally have one heavy day but this month it seems it flows no matter what position I'm in. And feel crappy as ds is on hols and I can't do much. Oh! And will have a friend over this afternoon so ill have to play nicely. I don't know how to manage this situation.

Morning all

I have family here this week so I'm even more rubbish at keeping up than usual will try and have a read back now.

Dizzy, yay for dh's new job

Beautician, congrats on your new business, I hope it's very successful.

Night, your dh's office sounds fab and ping pong tables

Welcome back frog yes 2 or 3 Brazil nuts a day is good.

Sammy, I can't see the post about your ivf, I'll hop over to the other board and look for an update.

Sammy, I'm really sorry you have to wait for your transfer you must be gutted. I hope the time passes quickly for you, I always think the summer flies by. Sending a hug xx

Pixa, how are you now? Good luck with your adoption meeting, please keep us updated on how you get on.

chops thank you for that little gem! Back in the game!

DizzyN Many congratulations on your DH's new job. Exciting times!

Beautician Congratulations to you too! My DH went self employed last year as a PT. It's been a struggle, but luckily I have been able to support us and he is gradually gaining more clients. He loves the freedom of working for himself.

Raluca I'm so sorry for your heavy flow. Can't think of anything to suggest... erm... cat litter?!

I have trapped a nerve in my shoulder blade, which has resulted in terrible shooting pains up and down my arm. I had to get up at 4.30am and take some ibuprofen. Good job I'm not in the TWW! It hurts soooo much! Never had anything like this before.

dizzyn great news re your DPs job, how exciting! The private sector sounds great - I want that :)

beaut that's very exciting. Your own business. Do we get a mates rate discount :) hope it takes off quickly. I like your use of junior labour!

lily fx for your promotion! More money for Mat leave is always good.

dizzy m sorry you have a cold.

spinning hope you've been ok despite being busy.

eskimo boo for bad shoulders. I still think this is your month :)

ral sorry for heavy flow. I used to get that and know how hideous it is. I hope it eases so you can do more this afternoon. There isn't really anything you can do though is there other than suffer?

Thanks everyone.

Eskimo sorry to hear about trapped nerve they are horrid.

Ral boo to a heavy flow mines been strange this month took ages to get going then super heavy and quite painful.

Spinning Hi hope you are well.

Boris a mates rate discount why of course. Speaking of which just out of curiosity nosiness where abouts is everyone located. I'm in a place in between Leicestershire and Northamptonshire MH

Hi, can I join?
Been a long time lurker and think you are all lovely
I've been ttc since June 2014 so am pretty fed up with the whole thing to be honest and could do with some fun conversation! Here are my stats:
Age 37
Ttc #2
Have 1 DS who is 3
Have tried everything and no joy at all! Being relaxed, being manic and testing loads, opks, vitamin B due to pre af spotting, EPO, every different pre conception vitamin going but nothing. DH is one of those relaxed let's go with the flow types but I am ready to give up! Help keep me sane
I am currently 3dpo and the craziness is setting in yet again so I need a distraction

Welcome Mrskitten have you been to the gp for any advice. I'm in a similar situation. On cycle 11 except I'm ttc #4.

Thanks beautician - wow ttc #4, that's good - dh said he wants at least 2 more and I can't even manage 1
I went on an unrelated matter to the gp a couple of weeks ago and mentioned it and he said they may look at medication, I presume clomid? But I need to make an appointment to go back to discuss it properly which I must admit I've been putting off in the hope of a bfp naturally which isn't looking likely if I'm honest!
Have you been to the gp?
It's just so bloody frustrating isn't it? My opks say positive and we shag like rabbits at my so called fertile time and a big fat nothing!!

Mrskitten I haven't been yet as I'm pretty sure as I already have three they won't do anything but next month when it's been a year I'm going to go just for some general advice

Newbies! Hiiiiii! Welcome! Grab a seat and a bfp

Yes that's a good idea beautician - definitely worth doing

Baby I have my fx you have some good news

DizzyN hello, yes planning on staying around this time. Nice work on getting DH on with the Brazil nuts, I might have to start force feeding MrF with them. Sorry for the bfn but hooray hooray for all your wonderful news

Beautician I've totally forgot what the nuts do, I'm sure someone more clues up than me can help

Haha lily you sure do it's pretty gross seeing them in there

Spinning good to see you lovely sounds like you are going to have a lovely time with the family round

Welcome Kitten

Well CD3 here, it's all very boring. Need to start temping again so need to dig out the thermometer. Not feeling so great today have a killer headache and feeling a bit sorry for myself. I think a good kick up the bum would get me moving

Thanks kirjava ! A seat and a bfp for all of us would be great
Thanks frog - cd3 is boring, I was in a terrible mood for the first few days of this cycle too as couldn't believe af had actually turned up, you'd think I'd have learnt by now! Boo to headache too, hope you fee better soon - I've had one for last couple of days too

Phew new bus. Welcome newbies. Will catch up and add your details to the stats sheet soon.

Here is my post from the last bus: DizzyN I am fine thanks! Still here. Here all week too. Off to the areal history museum tomorrow. (Which is now today)

See you soon auf & Sammy.

boris I can't believe what your boss said!!! Completely unacceptable!

Had a great day today (yesterday now). A farm visit with my nephew, brother, sil, mum and us 3. Was lovely. Then dinner to catch up with girls I used to work with. Completely knackered now. Night ladies! X

froggy I'm also on cd 3 of a 24 day cycle. Cd3 is dull....

I'm sitting at my desk just now, having to take a break as my bad leg is killing me and I need painkillers to kick in if my work is to make any sort of sense! Tempted to take a half day but hate using holidays for something like that. Plus don't really want DH to know, as he will worry it's because of dtd more often, and I don't want to discourage that! Typical I left my TENS machine at home

boris I'm CD3 too! Mostly feeling hot and sticky.
