TTC bus 54 🚌

Can't write too much or my app crashes but the last thread is on 997...we've had over 100 BFPs since Minster started the thread and those of us left on the bus are not giving up yet!

All welcome, no TMI on this thread!

Beep Beep!

Hey,
Room for a newbie?

Manifestingbaby · 11/12/2022 17:44

@InvisibleDreamer I definitely finished that sentence in my head 🤣🤣

@Franklydear the witch! Doubt there will be one here either. No signs of ovulation yet so I'm predicting an annovulatory cycle.

Franklydear · 11/12/2022 17:27

Af got me yesterday,no Xmas miracle here

InvisibleDreamer · 10/12/2022 00:19

@Manifestingbaby tell me about it 😂😂😂have actually lost count must be 4 or 5 xmas’s now. Doing anti jolly Christmas this year just been to watch Die Hard at the cinema. Yippie Kay Yay!

Manifestingbaby · 09/12/2022 13:32

@Franklydear I know, hoping for a Christmas miracle.....for the 3rd year in a row! 😂😭

Franklydear · 03/12/2022 07:13

I am losing speed, it’s been a few years of ttc, well now just not preventing really
congratulations @Hann91 so lovely to hear good news

InvisibleDreamer · 02/12/2022 01:47

Still here just not keeping up with as many threads these days. Almost a whole year of IVF and fertility treatment & not even been able to do 1 transfer yet. Feels like my bus has a flat tire!

Manifestingbaby · 30/11/2022 23:22

@polkadotpixie here's to the new year so 🤞 It must be a bit of a let down after the fresh hope of the lap but you are on the right track.

Hann91 · 30/11/2022 19:14

@pennysays @Manifestingbaby @polkadotpixie thanks 😊. @polkadotpixie we're having a girl 💕

@Manifestingbaby I tested at 10dpo and BFN as usual 🙄 AF arrived yesterday so my luteal phase was 10 days this cycle which is better (it's usually 10-12 days but was 7 and 8 days the last 2 cycles since surgery). Onto cycle 19 anyway and we're 100% starting treatment in January once Christmas is out of the way

@pennysays Sorry about the thread title and lack of tags, I had to do it on my phone and the app kept crashing and I don't know who's still around and TTC. Hopefully some will jump back on after your tags 🤞

@Hann91 Congratulations! Do you know if it's a boy or girl yet?

Manifestingbaby · 30/11/2022 12:09

@polkadotpixie have you tested yet? Strange the lap shortened you lp. Hope things settle or better still a bfp!

@pennysays you changed your name back! Lol last thread was the loooongest thread, no wonder we forgot the intended title. You're very good to go searching and tagging. I'm ashamed to say I don't recognise half the names or know where anyone is at 😳 the pace of the last thread got so slow it's hard to remember where people are at.

@Hann91 great update! Congratulations 🎊

@Blondepotter was a return passenger hoping to concieve again but went quiet. I have a sneaky (hopeful) suspicion she may have gotten a bfp and been too polite to say 🤞 do let me know if I'm right please!

I was also thinking about someone from here the other day and wondering how she is but I can't remember the username! She was in a coparent arrangement ttc with at home insemination . I don't remember if she got a bfp and I missed it or she left the bus?

Last I remember from sausage was she was going to start ttc again soon but not heard from her in a while.

Just strolling down memory lane. Nothing going on with me, af arrived and left. Rinse, repeat 🤣

JSS15 · 29/11/2022 08:13

Hey @pennysays , thanks for checking in. I can’t remember when I last posted, but I had a load of crazy cycles starting from the end of May (like 40-63 days!) and I had to step away a bit from TTC stuff as it was driving me a bit mad, though I was still lurking around here.

I reckon things are mostly back to normal for me now, but we missed this cycle as my husband was away. So I’m looking forward to some wine at Christmas and getting going again in the new year.

Hope all is well with you?

Ahhh great news @Hann91 !!! Congrats and hope for a mammoth pregnancy!

I've was trying to find this thread a couple of months back...I thought you'd disappeared off the face of the earth! I have been wanting to share the news that I'm pregnant...now 20 weeks 😊

pennysays · 28/11/2022 22:33

I’d also like to remind you all that back in May we agreed that the new title for this thread would be ”Horny & Hateful: A Fertility Journey Clusterfuck"😂

so we can save that beauty for next time!

Thanks everyone 😊 I'm 9dpo today and have been crampy the last few days (I usually am from 7dpo) and have felt nauseous the last couple of days but DS and DH have a tummy bug so I think that's psychosomatic because I'm convinced I'm next in the firing line!

My cycles have been wonky since my lap with very short luteal phases (like 7/8 days) so going on that AF is due today but based on my normal cycle, she's due on Tues/Weds so I'm planning to test then if I make it that far (unlikely!)

Found out on Friday my job is going to be made permanent but I still need to sign the paperwork etc which won't be done in time to start letrozole next cycle and then we'll be running into Christmas so looks like January will be our first opportunity

How are you all doing?

OP posts:
Manifestingbaby · 20/11/2022 11:39

@polkadotpixie I'm really hoping the lap will do the trick for you and you won't need that back up plan but it is good to have one. I will be cheering you on this tww 🤞🤞🤞

Franklydear · 19/11/2022 22:17

Hi @polkadotpixie that is true, it’s been so long, don’t even want to count the months but before the pandemic anyway…. Sounds good on the treatment, hope you get the placement

polkadotpixie · 19/11/2022 07:56

I'm still here too, I think it's just because pretty much everyone got their BFP eventually and there's only a few of us left 😞 We need some more TTC passengers to join

I'm on CD15 now, think I ovulated yesterday as I had crippling ovulation pain but my cycles have been a bit wonky since my lap. Temp went up a bit this morning but we'll see, we DTD the last 3 days so we've done our best but it's been 18 months now so I'm past being hopeful really

I find out later this month if my job is being made permanent (I'm currently on secondment at a higher band) and if it is, once the paperwork is all signed then I'm going to speak to them about the fact we're looking to start treatment. My DGM recently died and left me a few thousand £ so we're going to try 3 cycles of letrozole then move onto IVF

There’s a lot more life talk, you are welcome to try, everyone is good, I live through them, I love seeing the babies too

Manifestingbaby · 18/11/2022 16:32

@Franklydear thanks, that's sweet but I don't think the baby talk would do me any good. Hope all the girls and babies are doing well. There were some amount of babies from this bus! 🥰
