The filthy sisterhood of basques 👯‍♀️babydolls with easy access holes, IVF drugs & supportive hugs -TTC bus 28

[Minster2012]

Well ladies we made it all of 9 days before needing a new bus, I think I’ve had farts that lasted long, especially when they were in a bag (in blog joke) and now it’s an extra long one...bus, not fart 😜.

We are a chatty bunch it seems and we like to encourage ppl to get involved with our racing car of a TTC bus which can also be a bit of sex education class as well!

It may seem a strange ride here as we’ve got all sorts on our bus (not just the animals). We’ve got long term ticket holders where some of us have been around each other for longer than we care to remember now (so bloody hell some ppl here REALLY are bloody owed a sticky BFP now right??) but cos we love 💓each other and genuinely care about each other we cling together...despite some of us heading of to the infertility clinics, and we’ve got some newbies at the start of their TTC journeys, child number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 18 we don’t care.

Any questions ask away, we LOVE ppl to get involved...we love those who chatter!! We also love a sex toy 😉

And if you see mention of my blog then blame these guys they made me do it...#shamelessplug

@HollieL567 thanks hun for sharing your experience.

@DJmum83 oh gosh I hope your alright bless you.

@Justanothercyster glad your ready for action and feeling back to normal.

@Minster2012 you are seriously way more productive than me of a morning.

@minster2012 thank you that's what I'm hoping ❤️ I'm just a bit scared because we are going to tell our parents this weekend, we've got a little scratch card thing to give them and I'm worried I've jinxed it... I called the doctors on Monday when I found out and they said the midwife would be in touch this week or next.
I mean so far nothing to worry about. Mild crampy pain, sore boobs and absolutely knackered!
Also you are way too productive! Day off for me today having worked the weekend so just deciding whether or not to get up to walk the dog in the rain...

@Juno231 ahhh it all sounds promising🤞🏼

@lucyrp urghh car stuff is the worst!! There's always something isn't there!

@outback81 id definitely make an appointment to see the doctor! Unless like @Minster2012 said, it could be implantation??

@Kirky658 ohhhh stupid dreams!! I know it's easier said than done but please try not to worry, and stop checking that rhr!!x

So I'm only 4dpo, and after telling myself I wouldn't look at rhr I jusr have done, and it's bloody dropped from yesterday, I mean I know you haven't even implanted by 4dpo if at all, but surely it dropping already isn't a good sign, fuck you rhr!!

@outback81 oh that's a real fucker I'm so sorry 😩I would try speak to your doctor cos so short and LP isn't great I don't think

@Florence13 I like to have a schedule I have about a 1.5 hour dog walk at 10

@Kirky658 def still pregnant unless something majorly untoward is happening or you know otherwise stay positive. One of my dogs hates the rain the other doesn't care. Meh. Weds is my working day be that house or work. Both today. DS nursery early til late

Morning everyone, hope you're all OK

@Minster2012 no definitely a period unfortunately 😔 at least it happened 13 days after I thought I ovulated so I can't have been far wrong with it. Sorry your parents gave you such a hard time over IVF, big hugs for you that must've been horrible ♥️

@Katao and @florence13 thanks ♥️ I think that's the beauty of this group right? Just knowing it's not just you and you're not alone is really helpful

@notyetamumbuttrying and @Vil10 thanks lovelies ♥️

@Justanothercyster hurray for things being back to normal!

@Kirky658 oh bless ya, that sounds super unsettling but I personally wouldn't pay much attention to your rhr. I think it was theobgynmum on Instagram who said it wasn't a reliable method because it can be affected by so many different things. Big hugs, try not to fret

Morning everyone.

Thank you all for your messages I'm actually not as sore today as I thought I would be.

Pretty gutted my temp went up so I got all excited and tested BFN 😭
So I'm pretty sure I'm out for this month.

@Juno231 very promising I'm praying like mad it's your turn xxx

Sorry about bfn @DJmum83

@Kirky658 stop looking at stats and heart rate, you are only giving yourself things to worry about. Pick your positives and keep repeating them "I AM pregnant, I HAVE positive signs, etc" hold off on telling the parents if that is adding more stress. Please try to enjoy this honey 🥰

@Minster2012 love it feel like I should be better at making schedules for my days off. Also I know I’m abit behind but my in laws are definitely more parental towards me than my parents. And my mum is a whole other story hence why I felt a bit lost and without support last week.

@Justanothercyster yay to vag being normal again! 👏🏾 mine is hurting me, cd1 😞 are you close to AF/testing now?
@Kirky658 oh bless you, must be so hard not to panic, but all you can do is try and keep calm. Can you do mindfulness exercises, headspace is a good app for that.
@DJmum83 how many dpo are you? I can't read charts sorry. Hope it's just too early.

Thank you ladies, I will make an appointment with the doctor, I had a little cry on my way to work this morning and feel better for it, onwards and upwards as they say!

@outback81 it's inwards and upwards 😁🤣
@Minster2012 in my days off I first have breakfast and then a coffee, and then plan the day, too bad by then is probably 11 🙈

🤣🤣🤣thank you, I needed that laugh this morning!

@minster2012 @inkypaper @notyetamumbuttrying thank you ❤️*@katao* actually telling our parents is the only thing keeping me going to be honest, i think it will be a bit more real then because only me and DH know at the min it's like we are in our own little bubble. Xx

@outback81 definitely sounds like a call to the doctors might be worth it!

@DKDK123 hello!! Hope you're ok xx

@Vil10 try not to overthink it, it could be your body just messing around with you, I'll keep my fingers crossed

@Kirky658 agree with all of the above, also a variable of that small an amount I'm sure could be literally the position of the watch etc! Try not to panic! All your symptoms etc say that baby is thriving 💕

@DJmum83 hope the knees are ok this morning!

@lucyrp definitely blame baby brain

@Juno231 crossing my fingers for you. I'm a lot more interested in the charts now that I've started tracking BBT and (sort of) understand it a bit more now haha. Keep us posted!

@lucyrp definitely baby brain 😆 you've got that excuse for everything for the next 7 months!

@outback81 you're definitely not alone in thinking spotting could be implantation bleeding, I always think it every month even though I know it's normal for me to get spotting on failed cycles! It does happen for some people so it's no surprise we will keep our hopes up when it happens. I've had 5 days of spotting again this cycle and AF still hasn't arrived but it was BFN 🙄 hope you're feeling ok.

@Kirky658 please don't worry about rhr this is mine from BFP at 4 weeks to now and I'm 8+4 and had a scan on Saturday at 8 weeks and everything was fine. Mines not been as low as it has the last week for ages but babies heart was beating away!

@Kirky658 yep feeling the stress today as our heating and hot water has packed in too!😫

@Vil10 always something 😭

@blackcurrantqueen totally using the baby brain as an excuse

@Kirky658 would help if I attached my rhr!😅

@Kirky658 we have a lady on the RHR bus whose heart rate has dropped a massive 25bpm over the past week or so and she still has a nice lovely wriggly bean! Nothing to worry about.

@2020mission haha yeah I love seeing other people's charts now but remember when I joined the Feb bus it all looked like black magic to me!

@Franklydear the ladies from the Feb bus have 2+ month old babies now... pretty depressing to think about!

@blackcurrantqueen Thankyou, I wish I never knew about rhr so I wouldn't check it all the time😂x

@lucyrp it seems like it all comes at once too! I bet the same happens with me when I finally get my BFP, suddenly I'll need to start forking money out for everything!!

So girls it's just dawned on me that if af arrives this cycle, I only have 2 more cycles before we have to stop trying until September, which by September would make it 16 months since we first started TTC!! I wanted 2021 to be the year I got my BFP as well, but no matter how much I'm trying to see the positives, it's shit thinking like that!! Orrr maybe the break will do us a world of good and I'll get my BFP first cycle back in September??? Got to keep the faith right!

@blackcurrantqueen @juno231 thank you ladies sometimes all I need is some reassurance!

@lucyrp thank you so so much for sharing that, really makes me feel more positive. Hope you don't mind me asking, did you go for an early private scan before your 12 week nhs one? Considering it for peace of mind and then DH can come too I think, not sure of the regulations now tbh. Also when did your morning sickness kick in? Xx

@notyetamumbuttrying I'm 11dpo pretty sure if I was it would be positive by now. I have the before AF migraine so she is on her way.

@blackcurrantqueen they are sore but I'm not as sore as I thought I would be thankfully.

Have a good day everyone I'm going to eat lots of chocolate xxx

@Vil10 remind me, how come you'd have to have such a gap before TTC again? Was it to allow for a holiday booked? Hopefully you will conceive before you have to stop anyway 🤞

Last year I remember toying with the idea of pausing TTC in spring to prevent a Christmas/New Year due date 😆 wouldn't dare waste any time now knowing how valuable time is haha

@Minster2012 see it rarely happens to me. I'm actually a little phobic of being sick, genuinely gives me anxiety lol, god knows how I'll ever cope with pregnancy.

@Florence13 thank you!

@outback81 I wouldn't worry too much yet, it can take your body 6-12 months to get back to normal after the pill, but see your gp if it's worrying you x

@Vil10 I don't know anything about rhr but I can see it's being a fuck boy. Hugs. I'm sorry if I missed it before but how come you can't try until sept?

@InkyPaper woop woop!

@DJmum83 sorry about the bfn :( it's so unfair x

@notyetamumbuttrying aww sorry about af :( I'm nowhere near, still waiting on ov, only cd15 today so probably a long way off yet. Going to just enjoy DTD this cycle I think.

@Franklydear inwards and upwards 😂😂

@2020mission @Justanothercyster we're going to Mexico in June (well unless it gets cancelled with covid) and because of Zika virus there, you can't go whilst pregnant, you can't TTC there and you have to wait 3 months when you get back! So I thought well if we get pregnant before we can cancel it, but we only have until April 8th to cancel it and we only lose our deposit, but after that we start losing from 30% of the total price and the % goes up and up the longer you leave it! And we paid a lot of money for this holiday, so we thought imagine if we lose lots of money whilst pregnant, it wouldn't be ideal! So if I don't fall pregnant in March that's it until September!
