The Bumsnet Bus: It doesn't matter how long your journey, or how many twists and turns you've taken, there can only be one destination: BFP! Wipe your flaps and jump aboard!

Thought I'd get this party started. Here's the stats: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sHG9PPsOs0yIqgR-o2UXX_fdlCQXdVNLfmPpNOePPjQ/edit

May this bus yield many BFPs! Hoorah!

Hi to the new joiners Amy and soda sorry to anyone I forgot I've only read back a bit as you ladies can talk

Soda I don't really experience EWCM maybe a tiny bit but I have to really look for it and because i was dtd quite often I struggled to see the difference between that & sperm

Hopes huge congratulations again. So pleased for you.

Nervous I can't stand it when people say nasty things about their children or when I see children being poorly treated. I have been known to pass much unwanted comment but I don't care. My DH does it too. Just last year we were in McDonald's (I know,we don't usually take the children there) and a little girl was playing on a dance mat thing they had with her nappy absolutely hanging while her dad played on his phone. I commented that she really needed changing. He ignored. Next thing you know it's leaking out on the floor. DH got up and told him straight and the guy took her out and changed her in his car. Some people really don't deserve children. It's not fair to all those that do. So I understand how frustrating it is for you all.

DizzyM hope you ovulate soon. Get baby dancing

DizzyN surely you can't be ovulating on cd36. I think the soy will really help you. I think you need to take some sick days to get in some dtd action.

Sammy OMG omg I'm so pleased for you and keeping everything crossed. That's amazing news you must be thrilled. It's about time your luck changed.

Talking of being baby bombed. We have friends coming over at the end of November. Do you think I will get away with pouring my non alcoholic koppabergs into a glass again so they are none the wiser. They have one child and I know that after they married in May they were ttc #2. Although I know she was rather worried as she is 40 now. She conceived the first ok as far as I know I'm not a close friend it's the two DHs that are so I'm not really someone she would confide in anyway. Last time the men spoke in August he said they were still ttc. So I definitely don't want her to find out. She may well baby bomb me anyway as we have a feeling that's why they are coming over.

Sorry to anyone I've missed off. Hope you are all doing well Eskimo Kir Boris Nomio

Sammy! That's so exciting!!

sammy!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fantastic news hun

Congratulations to knickers too x

Hi everyone, hope you don't mind me re joining again , I'm not going to put my stats up for this month as af is around the corner no doubt, but I feel that i want to come back , I think the break away from here has done me some good, for the first time in a year and half i don't know what cd i am on, i have logged when my last AF was on my app, it feels so nice not to be so obsessed as i was, DH has his sperm test on Monday coming and then we have our next fertility appointment , so hoping things start to be put into place

I have tried to read back and keep up dated!!

Great news Sammy finally you are starting to get somewhere, you deserve some happiness and fx that bfp is around the corner

Knickers fantastic news on you bfp!!

hello and welcome to all the newbies x

Welcome back Rainy :).

Good luck to your dh. I forget, has he had one before? Xx

Thanks Sammy yeah he had one a few months ago and his sperm count and motility was low

Fingers crossed there's been some improvement then! Xx

Thanks for the congrats ladies.

Rainy welcome back! I hope there's some improvement with DH's SA.

Welcome back rainy, glad to hear the break has done you good!

Welcome back Rainy

Sammy That's great news; how exciting!

Hopes Huge congratulations, lovely!

Hi there just jumping back on this bus. Big congrats to Sammy can't wait for you to be pupo! We had some good news too and have our first NHS appt in 3 weeks so hopefully can start that early next year so have a couple of things on the go now.

Hey ladies, it's me. Back with a babe change (trying to harness the good luck of Chop's name change). I've been stalking you all lurking around. hopes congrats! sammy how exciting! Have everything crossed for you. Welcome to all the new folk, lovely to have you here. Big wave to everyone else. I'm not planning to post much for a bit longer, I need to step back abit, but wanted to say hello!

Babe change? Ffs NAME change! I still only MN on my phone hence continuing typos.

But update on my life, I'm still in bed and DH is cooking me breakfast. Result.

Boris! So glad you're back and you've changed your babe Let's hope it brings you luck!

How is everyone today? It's wet and blustery today and I have a huuuge pile of washing up and lots of housework to do...

Welcome back rainy. Fx for your DH's SA results.

Boris good to see you back. Fx the name change brings you lots of luck.

It's wet and windy here and we've got no plans for the day, which actually makes a nice change.

Nasty weather all round! Quiet weekend with DH working away, bit of a lazy one for me yesterday (might have had a late one the previous night ) but today I've been clearing out my wardrobe in anticipation of the impending move plus the fact I've put on weight the small size 8's just don't fit anymore! Off to the tip next - rock and roll!

Welcome back returners and welcome newbies. Happy Sunday to everyone else xxx

Welcome back Boris! Xx

sammy that is bloody amazing news!!!!!!! Hope you're managing to keep relatively calm, but OMG how awesome!! Sorry I haven't read through all the posts to catch up but what was the decision to do the transfer based on? What had changed?

dizzyn sorry you're still sitting in limbo... That OPK result is weird. grrr

Haha Fly! Thank you. I am excited but also trying to keep a sense of reality, the odds are still only 50/50.

Basically dh and I decided to pay for a scan this cycle just for peace of mind that everything is ok ready for January. When I went to that scan they said everything looked so good that they would fit me in for transfer on Thursday and gave me my trigger shot there and then! Xx

Sammy I will be keeping everything crossed for you.

I'm on cd18 and think this is a positive ov test. The first one is yesterday's. What do you think? Would you say it's positive? I posted a new thread asking for views last night as there was nobody on here and wasn't sure whether anyone was lurking.

DizzyM - the second one is SO close! I think you'll have a positive tomorrow morning! I've is on its way! Xx

DizzyM that's pretty much there, you should OV within 48 hours of the LH spike rising like that and 24-36 hours from the true peak. Sometimes it's easy to miss the exact positive reading so I'd say the next 48 hours are critical. I've been reading lots of scientific studies on ovulation and the secret life of spermiez. One thing I realised is you need to look for the LH surge going up and near positive then go for it for 2-3 days.

DizzyM - I'd say it looks pretty close to positive. Go get it on!

Big hello to returning people and everyone else.

I've been having a lovely weekend despite the weather, but then the cramps and brown spotting started last night. Hoped maybe it was nothing but then bright red bleeding today so looks like AF is here. Going to treat myself to some hot cider and sulking this evening.
