Bumsnet - whether you OPK or do it the old fashioned way, no need to hide - come join our ride!

[Woolly84]

A friendly and supportive bus for anyone at any stage in the TTC journey - recruiting now! :-)

Aw Maggers don't feel like that. Of course it's ok to be a newbie on here, we love fresh meat seriously - you are very welcome.

I have only just come back myself and wasn't sure if I would be welcome. The ladies here are lovely and we can all benefit from sharing our knowledge and feelings. We are all in the same boat.

I would carry on taking the clomid as normal.

You're very welcome on here magpie and we also encourage lurkers to join us. We're a lovely bunch going through the same thing and I can say the support on here is phenomenal. The more the merrier

Glad you came back glittery.

Thank you Dizzy

magpie to echo what the others have said new people and lurkers are really welcome. We love people who are willing to get involved and Invade our space. No such thing as TMI here. We also welcome thoes having a tough time who want support. It's a great community to be part of.
I'm having a bit of a better day today. DBro also having a good day (he has good and bad days, we generally only hear about the really aweful days). Thanks to you all for kindness and support.

Thinking of you sammy and lily

Magpie, so glad you joins us. Us long timers need a fresh supply of ladies to chat to as the BFPs roll in.... Talking of those, we must be due one surely??

Glittery - I'm so pleased to have you back, you needn't have worried about re-joining us!

Thanks for everyone's well wishes, my scan is at 9am tomorrow so will update when I can :). Xx

magpie we love being invaded, we do! You are so welcome here.

Ladies...I am so fricking damp in my pants. It's like I've pissed myself. Yuck.

glittery you are absolutely right, I need to get a grip of myself and think positive again

(I haven't weed myself I had a sniff to check)

Strikeout fail from me there...sigh

Good luck sammy the bumsnetters are with you!!

We need a new thread soon!

Are you sure you've not wee'd yourself kir or is it thoes damn cats again?

not meeeeee!

Ok then kir

Of course you're welcome magpie! It doesn't take long to settle in here. I like the idea of an Autumn/winter wedding as Autumn is a beautiful time of year but a wedding around Xmas would be lovely too with all the decorations & festivities etc. My favourite wedding as a guest was the week before Xmas! Plus I think you'll never be let down with the weather, in summer I'd be praying for sunshine and feel so let down if it rained!

night I'm no further forward with ideas. Venue-wise we'd both like a barn style affair for both ceremony and after party. There is however a stately home near me however which has an events facility which is on the edge of a lake and looks beautiful, but I've heard it's expensive. Dress-wise, the thought of blowing £k's on a dress which I'll wear once makes me feel ill......will look at what other options are out there....I'm not fussed about being all in white. That's as far as I've got......

kir where in your cycle are you?

2dpo dizzyn

I got married 21st December, means you don't have to worry about decorations as everything is already done

If you are not fussed about white then you have so many exciting options for the dress! I am so excited for you :)

Kir You have gven me an idea for a new product: Ovulation Pants. They absorb EWCM and any left over sperm, as if by magic! (Really they are lined with cat litter and sponges.) I reckon Dragon's Den would definitely be interested...

Maggers It's good to have you; shush now. You mentioned your worries about your flow affecting the clomid... Clomid is simply an oestrogen blocker- nothing more, nothing less. It works by fooling your body into thinking that it's not producing oestrogen, so that your body works overtime to produce more. When you stop taking the clomid, the excess oestrogen stimulates your FSH hormone, which is the one that makes you ovulate. It's all cause and effect So it doesn't matter how long or short your flow is, as long as you have a period

Boris Glad you're having a better day

Sammy Good luck for the scan tomorrow!

Ooooh, we are nearly onto a new thread! Exciting times! Can whoever starts the new one, please add the stats link to the initial page? Ta muchly...

Also, I'm tres surprised that no-one has mentioned these little babies...

I used to do the stats and I just had a look and they're a bit ....higgledypiggledy.... can we check our stats and make sure our BFP due dates are correct and can I remove people who's BFP were due in july?!

Sorry it's the secretary inside me :(

Mine is accurate.

I did like Glittery's idea about putting in a column for the investigations we'd had, and the supplements or medication we're on. It saves us asking people...

Also, yes, take off the people that don't post! (Leave froggy on there though, she might come back, hopefully!)

Has anyone made a new thread?

Eskimo I love the emoticons - but I can't seem to get them on the app!

I've done my good deed tonight, I reunited a missing dog with the owner Xx

Ohh I've just found Glittery's stats!

I've started the new bus folks: Here it is!
