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!

I can see those fly! Get a frer

I don't like to get hopes up but your chart looks very like my BFP chart fly! Sadly I deleted FF so can't post but I had a slow rise, then a dip and then a rise. I tested at 13dpo :)

Sammy just want to say that I have everything crossed for you.

Fingers crossed Fly.

Glad AF hasn't arrived sammy keeping everything crossed for you. I would hold out on testing a bit longer, hopefully your body will repay your patience! ;)

fly it's looking promising, keep us updated will future tests!

Thanks guys, trying to keep calm about it...

soda no symptoms to speak of! Maybe more cramping than normal pre-AF but super light and easily overlooked. Otherwise business as usual!!

Congratulations fly

Sammy well done on holding out - far better than I would be!

Hello all, just dipping my head in to say hi! Just trying to catch up but it looks like too much has been going on while I've been away!

glittery huge congrats! How are you feeling about baby X 2? After all that frustration you went through too and now you get a double whammy . Remember to pop back/post on FB when it's time for your scan so we can have a mummyofone style sweepstake on the sexes! X

sammy, so you've got your little bean in situ, that's amazing! How exciting yet absolutely terrifying! Hope you're doing well X

Will go back to trying to catch up on the rest while I eat my banana on toast!

fly congratulations on the squinter! All is looking good for you! X

Did someone say lily got a bfp too? I've only checked back the last few pages......

Hope everyone else is well.

So I'm now 12dpo of my monster cycle. Af is due on Monday which means this cycle will have been 52 days long . Massively frustrated and concerned. I keep worrying about what might be wrong, like thyroid disorder or (God forbid) early onset menopause (someone slap me!). I've never ever had regular cycles since coming off the pill in 2008 though so this is obviously just something my body just does for some reason. I did have a 50 day cycle a few years ago so this isn't exactly out of the ordinary.

So according to FF I ovulated on cd38. There's zero chance of a bfp as we only dtd on cd39 at that stage. My body wants to mess with my mind though because I've been feeling really rough all week and have had really bad heartburn, nausea and feeling dizzy. This apparently can be a sign of estrogen dominance which would make sense as I did an opk a few days ago and was still getting a strong line (think I read this means high estrogen levels?)

I've poas this morning and got a bfn of course which I was fully expecting, but I'm away this weekend and I didn't want this messing with my head. I've made a new resolve to poas before af in future. I know chemicals are horrible but when I look back at this past year, it would be good to know if there might have been at least one month where we'd done something right? Only just over a week to go until my appt with GP anyway so I can at least get this off my chest and find out what my options are! Roll on AF I say!

Fly I did a quick tweak and there is definitely a faint line, fingers crossed!

DizzyN sounds like you've had a rough month love. Hope you get the ball rolling at your GP appt. Enjoy your weekend away! Off anywhere nice? Are we swapping at Christmas again? I am going South - what are your plans?

Congratulations Fly.

Commiserations Dizzy.

AF arrived today so cycle number four begins for me. I have decided to stop taking Pregnacare because I think it makes me feel nauseous and cruelly gets my hopes up that it is morning sickness.

Just popped in on lunch break, and desperately clinging to flys increased cramping prior to that bfp!

I missed a call from the clinic earlier, they said they'd phone after a week to see how I was. Should I tell them I gradually going insane???

I'm exhausted from the roller coaster of emotions, and am going to have a 15/16 hour day tomorrow as we have a client even with work! Gah!!!! Xx

DizzyN, sorry to hear you've had such a rubbish cycle. I think it's a bit too soon to panic though, let's see what happens next time.
Are you temping? Sorry I can't remember. Xx

Sorry for af Fuzzy

Yes ditch the conception vits and stick to folic acid. Xx

DizzyN that sounds like a horrible cycle, I'd go to the GP and see if they can just do a full blood work just in case there is something like thyroid which they could help with. I did get my BFP, I'm exactly 5 weeks today, but still very much in the fear zone.

I think I'm going to get baby bombed. A girl in my office went to hospital for an 'X-ray' this morning... And I just saw her secretly show someone something on her phone and their response was 'rrrr bless'
I know these people, I'm sure it was a baby scan. Gah.

God. I'm paranoid.

Dizzyn Hun that is a mammoth cycle!! Stop googling things that could be wrong until you go to the dr. Are you taking any vits or supplements? Did you see beans post about Vit c for boosted progesterone? I really feel for you :-( having been an irregular girl all my natural cycle life, I never really considered the consequences (I mean 2 months with no period was a blessing!!), I just really really hope there is a simple solution for you xx

And if it can't be simple-at least a solution that WORKS!!

sammy just keep with positive vibes for your own outcome!! Xxx

I'm trying to be quite casual about this, but I'm pretty much freaking out...!

They're absolutely positive!

pika I cannot quite believe it though, do the frer tests mess up often?!

pixa even!! I was thinking about small fluffy rodents :-p

No, I believe they're one of the most reliable brands. Congratulations.
