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

I’m day 29 and now three days late. I tested two days ago and it was negative. No more tests in the house and I’m scared to test again! Assuming it’s just a bit late but can’t concentrate on work now!

@blackcurrantqueen it's pretty ok most of the time, remind me of that when I am here at two in the morning cos he won't go to sleep.... the key is to adapt life to him instead of trying to change him, as hell have to learn to make adaptations happen when he is older and I don't helicopter so much

@DKDK123 OMG!! Congratulations! Ahhh 🤞🤞 for a sticky bean!! Im so pleased for you!

@Skip86 sending you lots of hugs! It will be ok, my OH used to tell me atleast twice a year he wanted to break up...fuckers still attached to me! But nah its true sometimes men push us away when they are struggling with themselves, im sure the counselling will do you both good! 🤗

@Minster2012 guess what arrived in the post yesterday...my appointment for the gynae team...its on 10th march 😁 I'm gonna ask them as I'm 'due to ovulate naturally on 20th march whether they can scan me like they would if I had already started treatment and do the blood tests post ovulation to see IF I actually am 100000% ovulating properly..can't do any harm can it?

5 minutes late is not too bad, right?
Ok, off my phone

@DKDK123 be excited! Congrats 🎉🎉 I hope it works out for you this time around x

@Skip86 im glad you're going to be getting couples counselling, I hope it helps. If you need to vent or anything, we're here x

@Franklydear 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@Dollybird89 never seen a test with a screen like that before!

Only timefor a quick catch up so justup to earlier this morning but @DKDK123 congratulations!!! Please please please let this be it for you. Nobody should even need to get to 5th time lucky but it bloody better be 5th time lucky. Glad you have a good feeling about it. All the love and luck in the world yo you 🥰

@Skip86 that's devastating. You have both had such a hard year. I hope you can heal together. It does sound like his parents break up may have really shuck his faith in marriage. I hope the counselling helps. Love and strength to you.

@DKDK123 you know you owe as TTC recap

@Skip86 sorry to hear that it really is shitty of him, hope you manage to work it out. Big hugs to you

@amy2503 my TWW also starts today 😴

@DKDK123 congratulations 🥳

@notyetamumbuttrying yes I think I’ll have it next week as I have been offered it because I work on the frontline.

@blackcurrantqueen I’m so sorry to hear your going through this it is the hardest thing 😢 yes I’ve booked mine I’m having it next week so I know I’m not pregnant. I’m having the Oxford one though but like you say kind of hoping I’ll have to delay the second dose because I’ll be pregnant.

@DKDK123 so happy for you xxx

@bez91 cycle buddies ! xx

@Juno231 haha awks! I always assumed you were a fan of the film "Juno" 😂
@Florence13 makes sense, best of luck with it.

How shit is cd2 btw, I feel void of all energy today and the pain won't subside. Only taking paracetamol, ran out of ibuprofen and it's too wet to go to the shops! Will send Dh if it doesn't get any better

Ha ha sorry @Juno231 I forgot the obligatory ttc low down 😂
Can't say I've done anything majorly different this month to the past 16 other than I did have a bar of oreo dhring FW maybe its the luck of the oreo striking again and it was the sandwich oreo bar even better than normal oreo. Drank and ate like a pig over Christmas and new year. Had a dominoes this week so maybe thats the secret to successful implantation add that to your list ladies 😉 On 2nd packet of seven seas so maybe the seven seas luck too, I was on pregnacare prior to that. Didn't have sex on my peak day as we were at the hospital with DS but did have sex the day before it and after it and lots of random sex through cycle. Sporadic drinking of POM juice when I remembered so maybe a glass every 3 days or something like that.
I know everyone hates the relax and it'll happen speech, but we were more relaxed as we'd just resigned ourself that we'd need help and we're awaiting our appointment from the fertility clinic to discuss IVF. Other times I've caught have been when we've had a more relaxed approach too so not for everyone but maybe for me stress does play a part in stopping it happening who knows 🤷‍♀️

Symptom wise: 7dpo woke up at 4am and ran to the loo thinking I was going to throw up but didn't. POAS bfn. Still feeling iffy 8dop still bfn 8-10dpo major tiredness, coming and going waves of nausea, banging headache, heart palpitations, waking up around 4am every morn, bfn at 10dpo (prior pregnancies my bfp has came around 8dpo) so chalked symptoms down to major stress at work just now and assumed that was me out this month and that I'd feel better today once I was off work today and could relax. Couldnt face eating my breakfast this morn so did a test and bfp at 11dpo.
Nothing major happening RHR or temp that would be of any help, temp went down a bit but still above cover line and can't read too much from that given the 4am wake ups the past few days, temp has been around 36.6 at 4am and rises to 36.8/37.5 by 8am but obviously I've been up and about by then. RHR up by around 3 but its within normal fluctuations for around this part of my cycle.

So sorry I can't be of much help other than eat oreo chocolate during FW and domino's pizza after ovulation 😂

@notyetamumbuttrying sorry to hear you are in pain have you got a hot water bottle as well to help?

@Franklydear I actually laughed out loud at your DS. He is completely right!
@Minster2012 I did think today would be day 2 when you said it would be 1.
@Skip86 I'm pleased he's agreed to counselling.

I'm an idiot. Missed a form with my referral nonsense. So I received another today to send off. It doesn't look like one you fill in obviously. Its about zika and ebola so I just thought it was for info. 🙄 knob. But they clearly received the rest.

Omg just came on to catch up and there's so much 😱 bear with me ladies

@Florence13 I need to dig it out! Thank good I'm at home and can sit with it with no questions asked.
@paintfairy easily done then! Glad they received the rest tho. Hopefully not too much longer before hearing bk then.
@lucyrp enjoy the read x

@DKDK123 "remembers to eat dominos and Oreo", did you say your rhr didn't do much? I'm only 5dpo and today and yesterday my rhr has declined😩

@notyetamumbuttrying I definitely feel hot water bottles are a winner the whole way

@paintfairy oh no sorry you missed a form but glad things sound like they are moving forward

@Vil10 that's my chart if it helps, ovulation was the 1st so where the peak is and mine dipped after that so I wouldn't worry too much about yours dipping 5dpo. But to be honest it's much the same as any other month, it sits around 68ish before ov, rises to around 72-76 after ov till my period arrives theb begins to decline again to around 68.

😃 @DKDK123 your post gives me hope! We missed ovulation day too but got the day before and after. Snap. Got some oreo chocolate in there in fertile week too. Snap. So just need to get a domino's now in the tww and boom bfp! Guaranteed 😂

@DKDK123 they are lovely looking little prams! Although the bar at the bottom does stop you from using it so much when they're older and get longer legs ! Also that test looks promising!🥰

@Minster2012 I love you coming on here after you've had a wine or two. Makes my night trying to guess what you mean 😅😂 yay for AF! No snow here anymore ☹️

@Skip86 that does sound like the most reasonable reason for all of this out of person stuff ! I had a similar experience with my OH last year and things were really rocky and turns out he was actually really depressed and had kept everything to himself and was just being so nasty outwardly. Obviously not the same situation as yours but I think men are like this! They crumble inside and just get all mean on the outside. None of this has made sense sorry🙈

@Franklydear omg your DS🤣 I just burst out laughing! Steve's nephew is on the autistic spectrum but not diagnosed and the things he comes out with are hilarious although the one day he called me fat a number of times in a row and he was laughing the whole time and the first time I laughed, by the 4th time I wanted to wring his neck 👀 love the new work gloves !

@blackcurrantqueen at my booking in appointment my midwife advised me against having the vaccine, she's said at the moment they're saying all pregnant women should not have it but defo have the normal flu one but the advice may change.

@Katao keeping everything crossed for you. It was one of the domino's deals with the new choc orange cookies ......so best get the cookies too jsut to be on the safe side 😉

@lucyrp yea that was the one downside to the orb it was amazing for him as a baby and I loved that ability to change the pram part to parent facing which a lot of prams didn't do. But once he got to about 2 years old he was getting long for it and I wanted a less bulky and easier folding pram so swapped to the joie litetracks I think its called and still use that now at 3 if we're going a long walk that I know he won't manage the distance. So I'd do the same with #2 I think, the orb baby-2 then joie 2+ but I've loved both prams.

@Kirky658 can't believe you were soaked by ppl that's awful!

@Dollybird89 I think that test looks faulty but LOADS of snow

@Franklydear love the gloves! I'm actually not excited. Not after parents were so horrible.

@Juno231 I don't think I'd leave for a while don't worry

@Florence13 I don't know much about the Oxford vaccine tbh, I'm just waiting until I find out when I get a vaccine & see how it coincides with the ivf really

@Catherinettc awesome thank you!! 🧙🏻‍♀️

@French2020 how long are you going to leave it before getting another test? 🤞🏻

@Hopeful110 oooooo that's a good idea def not do any harm!!

@paintfairy I just thought today would be day 1 like cycle day 1 as I only had a bit when wiping last night that's all then none in the pad overnight so I would have classed today as day one of full flow but I think they are taking it as red blood being day one

Sooooooooo I've just been locked in a room by my child, as I finished off a phone call, as he ran out saying "I'm off to have a poo poo you aren't coming" ok that's fine but you'll need help wiping. Little did I realise he'd then bust the door handle & locked me in. Blind panic mode ensued, looking around the room to find something to get the door open with, then followed by some genuine fun, I will put the the results on the blog shortly.

Oh no way @Minster2012 could only happen to you, what a wee monkey 😂 can't wait to read about it on the blog.
