Is it not because we always have our bums on pillows?

hairstylisttoboris · 20/10/2015 19:17

Because we do the necessary actions. Pop our Bum on a pillow and then update the Internet with our news?

Hairstylisttoboris · 20/10/2015 19:20

Lovely to have you back juney is it going well with the GF then? Very exciting :)

Pixa · 20/10/2015 19:25

It's so good to see everyone popping back on! Please say you all plan to stop around. Smile

juneybean · 20/10/2015 19:29

loopylou1984 · 20/10/2015 19:32

Juney!!!! Hellloooo! Congrats on the gf, that's fab news :).

I can't remember where the number thing started?
I just know that sometimes when I google mumsnet I sometimes write bumsnet instead! Xx

chopsface · 20/10/2015 19:35

Gosh, everyone back!! juney glad to hear you've found true love and you're moving in together!

juneybean · 20/10/2015 19:35

sammy you were always my cycle buddy! Hope things are going well for you!

eskimoflo · 20/10/2015 19:44

I think it was from when we were all 'BOPping' and then we realised we shouldn't 'BOP' because the sperm could get stuck behind your cervix, so we stopped 'BOPping' but the name still stuck. Grin

Now all we need is some sparkly cheer and we'll be all complete! Star

loopylou1984 · 20/10/2015 19:48

Juney - well stories too long to go back over, but am waiting to see if I can have one of my frosties transferred this month!

Yes, come on Sparkly!! Xx

juneybean · 20/10/2015 19:49

Eeek that's very exciting sammy!! Fingers crossed for you x

nightandthelight · 20/10/2015 19:51

Congrats on the gf and moving in juney! Hope she gets on the TTC wagon soon :)

Hairstylisttoboris · 20/10/2015 20:08

Does anyone know how sparkly is doing?

juneybean · 20/10/2015 20:16

I think Turds has messaged her. Hope she's alright!

loopylou1984 · 20/10/2015 20:17

It's kind of terrifying at the moment as we have had two abandoned attempts, now going natural and my body doesn't seem to be playing ball. I'm so scared of tomorrow's scan and am having to go alone as it's at 12 and dh works too far away. There's no one else I'd want to take, not even my mum as we want to keep dates quiet this time for less pressure.

This is my last chance to be pg before I turn 30. Xx

loopylou1984 · 20/10/2015 20:19

Oops sorry, that was a bit of a negative post. As you were.

I am so pleased to have all our old friends back - newbies meet old friends, old friends meet newbies! Xx

MagpieCursedTea · 20/10/2015 20:51

Hello old bumsnetters! (That doesn't sound complimentary does it? Grin)
Best of luck tomorrow sammy, hope it all goes well for you.

ThePug · 20/10/2015 21:04

You're all back! Great to see you and hear your updates glittery juney and of course turdbird

I do believe Bumsnet was coined by oysterbabe's DH in a 'are you on that stupid bumsnet again?' way. You seem to have all lost the angry pubes (crosshairs) affiliation for now, somehow.

sammy - I know where you're coming from on the birthday seeming like a milestone without having achieved your goal. I turned 30 a few weeks after my mc, in fact the day after when my 12 week scan should have been and I should have been telling everyone we were having a baby. I spent the day in tears and generally distraught that I wasn't pregnant. Less than two months later, I got my bfp and (all being well) will have my baby before my 31st birthday! I have everything crossed for you, but turning 30 doesn't really change anything so please don't get too worked up about it.

Hairstylisttoboris · 20/10/2015 21:25

pixa just read your blog. It's so well written and heart felt. Your words are powerful girl. Keep writing. Flowers to you and your DH for what has been a tough old journey.

Beansprout30 · 20/10/2015 21:26

glittery yeh hoping the acupuncture might help with short luteal phase, just feels good to be doing something cause the nhs are pretty fucking useless so far!!

Welcome back juney pleased to hear the love life is going well Wink

sammy good luck with your scan tomorrow

Kirjava · 20/10/2015 21:28

You're all back (I used to be queenbee30)

This is so bloody exciting!

Hairstylisttoboris · 20/10/2015 21:34

Shhh don't tell anyone but I'm lounging up in the bath, chilling out, and I think I can hear the distant sound of DH cleaning up.

Ladies, it's a miraculous night.

loopylou1984 · 20/10/2015 22:13

Thank you everyone for the luck. Will update after the scan if I get chance or after work if not.

Pug - it's a silly self imposed goal, which actually I have already missed because I always said I wanted 'my first child by the time I'm 30' - now that can't happen, the consolation is that ' I'll be pregnant by the time I'm 30' it's getting ever closer to that not happening either. It just makes me sad. Thank you though, I really will try not to go in to melt down.

Has anyone seen that prank on Facebook where people's statuses say something like 'well that explains why I have been putting on weight, I'm expecting a chubby little man in only 2 months time...' It tells you at the end that they're talking about Santa, but I nearly through my phone across the office when I thought a colleague had fallen pregnant accidentally and unknowingly! Xx

Pixa · 20/10/2015 22:18

Boris, thank you so much. We really appreciate the lovely words & messages. Your evening sounds blissful. I'm trying to talk DH into giving my a back massage but I think I'll have to wait until the weekend!

Sammy, I'll be thinking of you tomorrow. Best wishes. Xx

lucieloos · 20/10/2015 22:24

Good luck tomorrow Sammy, will be looking out for your update.

Pixa, I would love to take a peek at your blog too if you wouldn't mind?
