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!

[eskimoflo]

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!

Glittery congratulations , hope the morning sickness, passes for you soon

Bean thanks for the link about vitamin c, will read it now!!

soda thanks! I was thinking that a slow rise might be a sign of low progesterone...? Poas on Sunday probably!

Thanks all for your words of assurance!! I guess I'll just 'wait'...?!?! Hahaha

Glittery how awesome!! Congratulations times 2!!!! Was that an early scan you went for? I bet you are in shock!!!

magpie feel better soon!! Get some Lemsip in you and get right on to dtd! How about some cough syrup too? I hear it's meant to help cm too?!

sammy get yourself and bath and an early night Hun xxx

Amanda I think AF-type bleed generally rules you out but there are cases of strange things happening... Have you taken a HPT to be on the safe side?

eskimo mundane life crap is such a drag!! If I were you I'd wrap up, get out for a quick but brisk walk (exercise IS good for you, apparently!) and then order a takeaway, on paper plates!! Hopefully the marking can wait... I am totally with you though, our house is an absolute tip and probably will continue to be until the Christmas holidays!

amanda it doesn't sound dissimilar from periods and associated pms I have to be fair-The whole thing regularly lasts over a week including spotting. You're not on any meds that might mess you around a bit?

Hello Bumsnetters I haven't posted here for a long time as I can't keep up (I hang out with Boggle and Ella on the Provera thread and the lovely Eskimo regularly pops in).

Just wanted to say congrats on the BFPs - wow Glittery twins - I'm so out of date with this thread and massive congratulations

I was also very excited to see Ginnfizz on here - I've been looking out for you! I had hoped your name was missing from this neck of the woods as you got your BFP...

AFM I'm on day 13 of round one of Menopur injections AKA stabbing geriatric lady piss into my belly

Thanks fly, although a Luke warm bath isn't exactly as relaxing as a nice hot one! Lol.

Moomin! Hey, so are you ivf-ing? I also could stop thinking about the menopausal women who had donated their urine! Lol.

I'm doing a bit better at the moment, but I feel like I'm on the bumpiest rollercoaster ride, so not promising I'll still feel the same by tonight. Xx

Hope you slept ok sammy

Hi Moomin at least you're seeing a funny side to it!! And you'll be first in line for the pee donation when you're old!

My temp is down today :-( it did exactly the same last month (purple line is last month, green is this month on the overlay). Not feeling confident at all... We really worked at trying to get the dtd timing right this month and it's the first time is had a + opk! I can't help but get my hopes up but this is looking too similar to last month to believe anything can come from it :-( Urgh

Thanks fly, I slept well actually, it was getting up that was the problem! Lol.

9dpo is a bit early for an af drop, wait and see what tomorrow's temp does. Unless of course ff got your ov date wrong?

If birdie is around this is her area of expertise......

Thanks Fly! I know it's definitely AF, Just puzzled why it's so different from every other?? Mine are normally fine with no aches an pains! so my body is just having a laugh this month ha
Oh well staying positive for that December BFP

When TTC wanting my usually predictable AF did all sorts of weird things! The one time you really need it to be normal and it decides to mess with you :(

Night and wanting I do think there's something in that, I've read so many times about women experiencing changes in their cycles when TTC. I don't know if it's because we pay more attention to things we wouldn't normally notice, if it's coming off birth control, if it's the stress or some other reason but it does seem to be a fairly common thing.

Fly hoping the dip isn't indicative of AF, I remember reading about implantation dips on FF. It's still a beautiful chart, I have chart envy!

Sammy glad you're doing a bit better at the moment. I think that's all you can do. Take it moment by moment and be kind to yourself. Hope your day passes quickly!

Hello moomin that's the best description of a fertility treatment I've ever heard, do you work in marketing?

Well I didn't have any Sherlock Holmes with a cold action last night, fell asleep before DH finished work. Am determined to DTD tonight, still ill though. The joys of TTC!

At the moment I'd be happy with any AF! I have my new lot of progesterone to take, starting tomorrow. 10 days worth again and then my consultant appt and scan on the 9th to see if I can start the clomid (4 months after I was told I was being prescribed it!) FX for some actual proper "trying" in December!!!

I hate how unpredictable our bodies can be, we all have slightly different problems but basically bodies that aren't doing as they are supposed to. Sometimes I wish I was a man! [hmm}

even!

Fx for you nervous! You're right about the unpredictability, it's very frustrating. Hopefully you'll be starting that clomid soon.

amanda to be honest that sounds like my unusual AF but if it's weird for you take a test.

fly it does look like a lovely chart. No expert at all but have been doing lots of looking at charts and reading in my first temping month! When is your AF due? Could be implantation dip this early perhaps?

sam hope you get your clomid.

sammy hang in there Hun! Hope you're doing ok.

magpie am rooting for your Sherlock Holmes style DTD tonight!

Glittery another set of Bumsnet twins! Congratulations! As mine are DCDA it is slightly different but if you want to chat let me know. I know just how much shock you will be in right now and just how terrible you may be feeling with sickness or just the feeling of sickness - I promise it does get better - after about weeks 16-18 x

Sammy really rooting for you love, waving my pom poms

Glittery, massive congrats on the twins, lovely news!

Sammy, how are things today?

Glittery huge congratulations!! Amazing news on the twins!

Not sure if I said congratulations to Lily

Come on BFPs!

How are you doing Sammy?

So I appear to be spotting... Options are
FF got O wrong and I'm more dpo than I thought and AF is on her merry way
My luteal phase is seriously short this month and AF is on her merry way
Implantation bleeding?
My body is falling apart..

Ah really sorry fly. How many DPO does FF think you are? How long is your LP normally? Hoping its option 3 for you xx

soda I'm either 9 or 11 dpo (9 is FFs best guess) and AF normally arrives on day 13/14 so if FF picked O wrong I am 2-3 days off 'normal' AF. Could spot for a few days though I guess. Seems late for implantation though?!
