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!

I'm so sorry sammy. No words that could make you feel better right now

So sorry sammy ** massive hugs to you.

I'm so sorry sammy. I'm sure there's nothing anyone can say that will make you feel better right now but please know we are all thinking of you and are here for venting or whatever you need xx

sammy I'm so so so sorry big virtual hugs xxxx

Sammy I'm so sorry

Oh Sammy I'm so sorry lovely. Hope you are doing ok. Big hugs to you. Xxx

Hugs to you on here too Sammy

Morning everyone, how are you all doing?

I hate Mondays! But not too many left until Christmas - I'm definitely looking forward to the time off work more than actual Christmas.

I'm feeling lots better after UTI nightmare.

sammy how are you feeling this morning Hun? Did you sleep ok? Do you have to go into work? Thinking about you.

Morning soda I hate Mondays too although I don't go into my proper job until Tuesday, the dread starts on Monday! I'm still feeling ill so debating going back to the doctors. Also had some spotting so might need to ask about that as well.

How's things this morning Sammy? Thinking of you x

I'm so sorry sammy xxx

Af finally arrived as expected last night. Thank fuck for that! sticks middle finger up at 52 day cycle

I feel like I spend more time being pleased to see af than not pleased because of my stupid messed up cycles!

Will post stats on next bus. Roll on new cycle and trying out my new saliva microscope!

I hope you're all well.

sammy I'm so sorry to hear about the bleed. . Hope you're doing ok today.

Hi all, thank you for thinking of me.

I'm still very sad, but the hormone fog of doom is lifting a little, and I'm ready to come up with the next plan of action.

I have to get through the formality of testing on Wednesday (in case by some miracle a little bean has survived despite the blood!) then the clinic will review my case Wednesday afternoon at their meeting.

My nhs referral has finally been sent and so I can use the figures on these re lining to check with the consultant as they recorded my cd15 thickness as 5.7mm.

Hope everyone else is ok? Xx

Dizzy Glad Af has finally came after that long cycle,!!

Sammy so sorry you are bleeding but glad you are ready for the next plan of action, keep at it you will get there eventually!!

Hope you're feeling better magpie - if you're still not 100% definitely get a docs appointment I reckon.

What a marathon cycle dizzyn - how frustrating for you. Saliva microscope?! pricks up ears at the mention of a TTC contraption I don't yet own

sammy glad you're thinking about next steps already. One day at a time.

I'm doing OK. I'm 11dpo today and completely amazed that I haven't tested yet - a new record for me! Going to try not to test at all unless AF is actually late! Will see how that one goes....

Hang in there soda! You can do it!!

Glad you got some progress dizzym onwards to the next cycle! Enjoy your ferning

sammy you are being so strong, well done lovely. It will happen, just a matter of time. Good luck for Wednesday xx

Soda don't test early, bfns are the worst!

DizzyN - wow, glad that's over. Here's to the next cycle. Xx

Thanks sammy and fly - am going to hold firm! I've felt strangely more relaxed this month not testing. My real low point was a few months ago when I started testing at about 3dpo . It's horrible seeing BFN and this way I guess I can feel hopeful for longer too

soda new contraptions keep things interesting don't you think?!

I might start using mine tomorrow to get the hang of what I'm looking for! Although if I have another cycle like the one I've just had, I've got 37 days before I can expect to see any pretty ferns

Anyone know what these emoticons are all about?!

Dizzyn, I love an emoticon!

Are they Scottish emoticons? I don't have them on the app!

Im not Scottish and they're on my app! They do look like they're wearing tartan hats though!

It was St. Andrew's day yesterday hence the Scottish emoticons! Xx

Hi everyone, i cant help feeling a bit sad as its now the first of December, this time last year had such high hopes of us either having a little baby to share our christmas with or being pregnant, this probably sounds silly, but can't help feeling like we are being punished in some way!!!

Rainy, I'm totally with you. I thought that last December, and here we are again still without a baby. Christmas is so much about the children that it really highlights what you're missing.
Dh and I have decided to make December about doing things that won't be easy if we have a baby or a bump next year, ice skating, dinners out, winter wonderland, trips to London etc. maybe you could do the same to cheer you up? Xx
