Thanks for the new bus @notyetamumbuttrying

I'll add here I've been TTC since January 2020 for future buses as it will be easier than incrementing the number of months 😅

New bus coincides with CD1 for me! Thanks for adding me.

I've rang the hospital to see if we can start IUI this month. They've written my name down. And might ring me. 🤣 So who knows......

@notyetamumbuttrying yay! Thanks for the new bus! Definitely feels like I’ve been an infertile donkey for at least 84 years! Probably be another 84 before I get ivf!!

@paintfairy that’s so frustrating! 😤 why can’t we ever get any straight answers!

@Crazydoglady123 good luck with your scan tomorrow!

@notyetamumbuttrying I’m just going to carry on taking all the supplements for now! I’ll maybe ask a few more people like my fertility nurse and email Bath Care and see if they have any opinions on supplements.

@crazycatlady1981 🤔 i was just about to order more ubiquinol now I'm not sure if I should!

Haha ah love the name, hope this new bus brings some good news with it for us all ❤️
My temp has went back up since the spotting 4 days ago & had another bit yesterday so now I'm confused again. Took a test and I think I have severe line eyes 😂 what a messed up cycle
Hope your all doing okay ❤️❤️

Taking my seat!

I have only read positive things for taking CoQ10 🤔

@Marvellouslymadmum @RobinRose yes I’ve only heard good things too! The food sources it’s found in are meats, oily fish and whole grains so its completely natural and I may be lacking as a vegetarian so I’m going to ignore the consultant and keep taking it. I didn’t really warm to him and I got the feeling he just wanted to act like he knows better than me. Everyone on an ivf group I’m part of is taking it, so going to go with my gut instincts! 😊

@crazycatlady1981 I'm a veggie to so I'll
Place my order and carry on I think! I don't think any of these docs like it when we seem to know what we are talking about lol

@Aimzie how frustrating for you! Hope you find out what's going on soon

RobinRose · 12/04/2021 18:25

@crazycatlady1981 I think we have all done more than enough research to know what vitamins ect may potentially help us so I say stick with it too! Unless your consultant can prove otherwise 🤣

@crazycatlady1981 @polejunkie no not really! Like it's not bad enough not being able to do/plan anything for the 3 months you have it, you don't even know which 3 months they are or if it'll be happening! I would rather they just allocate me 3 months (whatever they may be) and know where I stand! Obviously I don't want a life this year either. 🙄

I'm taking ubiquinol as well. So I hope it is OK!

@paintfairy gosh, I really need some info in that case, I have to be honest I really don’t know what to expect as I know literally nothing about ivf 😂 I mean I’ve tried to find out but it’s so confusing until you know what your meds and approach etc will be... luckily I have no plans but with the world opening back up I need to know what to plan for - there’s definitely a lot that people don’t discuss when it comes to ivf / ttc... babies are certainly not delivered by stalks!!! Wish they were available on Amazon prime haha
