TTC October 2020 Bus

Thanks, I've been referred a couple of months ago but haven't even had a letter to say I'm on the list yet so no idea how long the list is unfortunately. Just hoping our supervitamins help lol

@Dogmum13 Im so sorry... the pain sounds awful! Yes definetley book in with a private hospital or ask your GP for scans if the wait isnt too long and check everything is okay. I had some internal scans about 18 months ago before we TTC as I was getting random bleeding but nothing conclusive came back. Keeping everything crossed for you 🤞 xxx

@gracie2307 yes pains throughout my cycle, I'm in constant pain low down in abdomin, mainly right hand side worse with ovulation and af. Sometimes ovulation is so bad I can't even stand up straight although not had it that bad for a couple of months now. I know I'm definitely ovulating because I get the pains and very obvious peaks on the tests but haven't had a single bfp in almost a year now. I'm going to look into the prices at my local private hospital and see how much it will cost us

Hi @Lemongrass9 aka fellow Monica

I am sorry that you had a BFN ☹ its always upsetting to see. Thats the worst part feeling so out of control with everything. But I am glad to hear you feel a bit better and your DH is supporting you 😊 Dont rule anything out until AF shows up so maybe test again tomorrow or the next day if she is a no show? Xx

Hi @Dogmum13 I am sorry you feel that way, its such a horrible place to be in limbo and feel like your dreams are on hold. Is it pains that happen throughout your cycle? The important thing is not to give up hope and that you will be a mummy one day Thats a good idea to see if you can get a private consultation, have you found somewhere that you can contact? I'm on cycle 5 so I'm still trying to get my head around things. I am tracking my cycles and for the last couple of cycles, Ive managed to find my peaks with OPKs and thought I had timing right but nothing so far. Xx

I think I’m a bit of a Monica too @SparkyLauz @gracie2307 think that’s why I’ve found today’s BFN so upsetting 😬. Hadn’t planned on telling DH about test today but glad I did as we’ve had a good chat since he got home from work and I’m feeling lots better. Hoping AF shows up soon if that’s her plan so I can have some wine and get set for next cycle.

@gracie2307 I'm just concerned we aren't going to be able to have kids and concerned about all the pains I keep having tbh. We are heading into cycle #12 now. What cycle are you on? I'm considering private initial consultations in the New Year as I'm sure NHS is a long wait

@SparkyLauz Nothing wrong with us Monicas 😂but I know deep down I need to be more relaxed like Phoebe!

Its such a shame about all these weddings that are cancelled/postponed 😔 I was supposed to be an Usherette in May for a wedding but the wedding was already rescheduled once to 2021 but now its looking more like 2022.... xx

Hi. I suffered my third early loss on my last cycle and hoping to have a sticky baby soon. Good luck all xxx

Hi @Dogmum13 hope you are well! Snap, I am also on the November bus with you too 😊. How are you finding things? Xx

@SparkyLauz I'm on the November bus with you! AF showed up today 3 days early, only a 25 day cycle this month so don't know what is going on with my cycles atm. Mine would be a first grandchild and great grandchild too

Welcome @Forest27 and @Lemongrass9 ! Fingers crossed for you both this week girls xx

@gracie2307 Haha, I'm very much like a Monica too 😂 I have to have a plan for literally everything and get upset when things don't go the way I want it. So yes I agree this TTC business is a challenge 😂
The wedding is in April but it might be postponed now as they want to wait and have a big wedding rather than a small wedding and a party at a later date.

I will look into that. Thanks! Xx

Hi, please can I join too?

I’m TTC first baby, 12dpo today and have got a BFN. Feeling so sick last few days, really sore boobs and a headache today. Trying to be positive that there is still a chance this month but I’m also really hormonal so struggling not to feel upset about it. Not been trying long at all so feel ridiculous that I’m getting upset.

Congratulations to everyone who already has their BFP this month 💕

Hi everyone! I hope you don’t mind me joining!

I’m TTC my first after being given the all clear from a molar pregnancy

I’m currently CD29 (11 or 12 DPO) and have been using One Step tests and so far all negative! I feel sooooo sick though, even as I type this I feel like I’m about to run off and heave ! I’m trying to test now under after my period is due on Thursday but it’s so hard and I feel like I’m clinging to false hope haha

Good luck to everyone and congrats to all of the new mummies to be!! Fingers crossed that will be me in a few days

@kimberley94 congratulations!

@Theawkwardblonde take care of yourself xx

@SarahMumof1DS thank you for your sweet message. Venting/sharing definitely helps! 💕 😘xx

No worries @Sunflowers81😊 always on hand with movie recommendations and support!

Thank you, I might buy a cheap thermometer first and see how I get on. In terms of apps, I use Fertility Friend which has great charts and Clearblue for my OPK tests. I did use to use Clue but it became so unreliable, was fine at first but then always said my fertile window started straight after my period, got my ovulation days really wrong even after several months of data entered xx

Hey @gracie2307 I haven't seen peanut butter falcon, it looks great though, I will check it out, thank you!
I only have a normal fever thermometer, I'm now looking in to a proper charting thermometer and am researching charting apps.
If anyone has any recommendations I would love to hear them! xx

How are you? Thank you for your lovely message. I am sorry that you have AF to visit too. Please can I ask, how are you measuring your temperature? Thats one thing I'm not doing atm but would like to for this cycle. I track OPKs, CM but not BBT yet.

Ahh I love that film 😊 so funny! Florence Pugh is really good in it. I recommend The Peanut Butter Falcon on Netflix if you liked FWMF, have you seen it? xx
