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!

Rainy,

The rundown of me so far:

I'm 29 and have been TTC since 2011. In 2012-2013 I had all the fertility tests including lap and dye and DH was also checked out. We where offered clomid in 2013 but at the time asked to put it on hold due to other commitments; finishing a degree and our wedding in less than 12 months. We've been married a year now and are in a better situation all round; financially, mentally and physically. I went to the doctors last week to be re-referred to gynecology so I'm just waiting on that now x

It's ok, I got some from poundland, 2 for £1.

Lucie the clinic have given me a test for test day, it looks very complicated and involves droplets of urine in a little window or something! Xx

That sounds unusual Sammy! I would go for the frer myself. My clinic also gives out tests for test day and they are awful probably less sensitive than the cheapies!

2 tests for £1 sammy - wow!

My temperature has shot up and going with my peak OPKs (and awful back ache) I'm fairly sure I ovulated on Thursday. We DTD on Wednesday night and Friday am but not on Thursday so just got to hope we caught it. All a waiting game now. I guess I'll be due AF 2/3 December which would give me a 31/32 day cycle this month but i ovulated late. Going to really, really try not to test this month unless AF doesn't show. So tired of seeing bfns.

Hope everyone is having good weekends xx

Soda - don't get excited, they're only the same as the Internet cheapie a, and I can get 20 of them for about £3!
We can be poas buddies if I make it to my test date without af arriving!

Yeah Lucie I'm going to get a frer, I'll do their one too. I'm getting scared already, I so don't want af to rock up next weekend. Xx

Aww I know the 2ww is such a nerve wracking process! Are you going to test early or wait until next weekend when af is due? I'm going to test at 7dp5dt next time. I did it earlier last time and drove myself nuts as seen so many get their bfps at 4 or 5 days after transfer but I wasn't getting anything. I kind of knew then it hadnt worked so it did prepare me a bit but definitely going to try and wait until 7 days next time as think the frer is pretty accurate then.

Amy Glad to hear you are in a more secure position now to start trying, hopefully your appointment won't take to long and can get the ball rolling again,

Sammy glad you got some tests, I might go into Poundland and get some for next month,

Hello, please can I join you all. I am TTC #2 and this is cycle 3. AF/BFP is due on Thursday.

Welcome gin :)

Lucie - I don't know if I'll test early, right now I feel like I won't because I don't want the dream to be over. But curiosity might get the better of me. I've just realised the new tests I got only have a sensitivity of 20 compared to the ICs which were 10. I predict no positive on the less sensitive test tomorrow. Xx

Just checking in! Helping DH out with work so having a busy weekend.
Will catch up properly soon. Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend so far. We had some snow too sammy but it was short lived sadly.
Welcome gin!

Sammy, I think even though the Internet cheapies say 10 I think they are far less sensitive than they claim. I would be surprised if the pound land ones weren't of a similar sensitivity to the Internet cheapies.

rainy definitely give vit c a try, my temp shot up at 2dpo, normally it would be slow to climb and never stayed very high, my chart this cycle was the best it ever looked

lilygirl81 congrats!!

Sammy that's so exciting! Thinking positive thoughts for you

MadameLeota Good luck on Monday. Thinking positive thoughts for you as well that you get the answers and help you need!

Rainy34 Hope the clomid help you out this cycle!

Beansprout Congrats!

### Stats Update ###

BabyBumpHopeful, 32, TTC1, Cycle 10, BFP due Dec 21

Got a call from my fertility nurse yesterday to see how things are going. I'll be contacting the fertility doctors next year (had to wait for the deductible to reset) and finish up the blood testing (7 days after + OPK) and also hopefully starting something like Clomid (if no joy this cycle).  DH still needs to do his SA as well so Jan's going to be a busy month!

Hope everyone else has a good month. I don't post or check often to try and reduce my stress levels (it's been a hectic few months with the hail damage to our house, replacing the furnace, new land purchase etc etc)

Morning all, and nice to see you baby bump.

So the poundland test is pretty much negative (there may be the faintest squinted of a line) so thought I'd do a backup boots test as it was about to reach its use by date - this is also negative. But it doesn't say what sensitivity it is, anyone know?

Either way I think the hcg has pretty much left my system now, hooray! Xx

These tests:

I think they are 50miu by the looks of it Sammy so not very sensitive. By the time you come to test next week though it should definitely be gone but I guess the only way you would know for sure is to use a frer in the next couple of days but I know they are expensive to waste!

This is the 20 poundland one, v faint line.

How can you tell the boots one is 50? Sounds right though as there is def no line on it!i might try getting a frer for tomorrow. Xx

I googled it Sammy. I would say if they are faint now then another day or two and it would be gone off on frer as well so you will be fine later in the week

Here you go

Hi all,

Just checking in to say massive congratulations to lily and beansprout!

Sammy Keeping everything crossed for you!

Have just been through all posts and updated the stats. Could everyone have a look and see if all is 'present and correct' please? If there's something that needs updating, could you let me know and make it stand out with a ##### so that it's easy to spot?

Ta muchly x x

Oh lol - I thought you could tell by looking at the box! Haha! Thanks, am going in to town later for Xmas light switch on so will see if anyone has offers on frers to test tomorrow/Tuesday then save one for test day.

Good work on the stars Eskimo! Xx

Packs of 2 FRERs are buy one get one free in boots. It works out £2.50 per test. Xx

Haha Sammy no im not that clever! Brilliant news about the frers hope you've stocked up.

I got two packs, so four tests! Xx
