wearing pjs all day long, making money from our thong, tww driving us crazy, all this s**t to make a baby! TTC bus 29

[Minster2012]

TTC bus 29...
Oh my goodness to say we are a chatty group is an understatement most times but that’s great cos it’s not all about TTC here, anything goes, we now have a bus with a beautiful panoramic roof seat so a few ppl can pop up on top heads up and out into wind to gulp in the non TTC air but still hold on to us & know where we are...like our pups that come with us with ears flapping in the wind our beloved ladies may have one flap flying in the wind...”watch out for the left outer flap”...someone once shouted to their OH...that might set the tone here nicely.

Get it?! No?! Sometimes nor do we...🙄the chat, the deed, the sperm, the egg, the fact that we aren’t pregnant yet after shagging twelfty millions times a month forever. But we are here for each other, to chat shit, to help each other out the pits or wallow within the pits, for all the highs and lows.

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

@paintfairy yay for the fertility appt !!!
@Birdladybird hello! Welcome to the madhouse 😂
@Juno231 I'm so sorry if I've missed this but where is it you need to fly to? That is so shit, but I'd hope your mum would understand given lots of people are in these situations at the moment ?

@Justanothercyster really hope that none of them get affected too badly!

Thank you girls, I honestly feel okay
They've repeated my HCG and they also took the recurrent miscarriage bloods so provided my HCG is less than four she will send those too and then do me a referral for the recurrent MC clinic.
She's ordered some genetics bloods for the OH too.
Then we've got a lovely questionnaire to fill out for the appt though she said don't expect it to be for a couple of months as the genetics bloods take a while.
They said they think I'll start bleeding soon but that it's entirely possible I'm also ovulating so I'm going to carry on with the juices and the pills and give it a go this month.
She said I can call up if I get pregnant again for a reassurance scan at 7 weeks. I asked if I could have repeat HCGs taken just for reassurance given I know every time my HCG has been really low, she said they would maybe do this if the doctor documented that as a plan. (I work in the same building W/Th/Fri - I want bloods on a Wednesday and a Friday morning 😂)
My main issue is I am ridiculously impatient...

Cramps were fairly strong earlier but have faded since and no more spotting since so looks like I'm in knicker watch limbo for now. That annoying phase of knowing you are out but not actually getting on to the nect cycle 🙄

Sorry hit send too soon. @blackcurrantqueen I don't blame you for feeling impatient. I feel frustrated for you reading that, a lot of wait and sees.

That's good then @blackcurrantqueen a good plan I think & for getting a reassurance scan for next time too though yeah a couple of months hmmm but let's hope it's not needed, big big big hugs to you

I've been playing log Tetris, that's one for the older ladies 🤣don't know if I've won?? What do you think?

And sorted my last tender out whoop whoop, found £1 in DHs trousers before the washing machine ate it, about to move the last of winter bulbs AND on my trip to garden center earlier I DID not buy any scones or cakes! 🙌🏻❤️yes!! So exercise to do, food to put on then pick up DS. Boom

Shit ladies I think I've just found a revelation as to why some of us aren't pregnant...

A random thread I was reading to pass the time on my "decaf break" someone made a point

Egg donation and the triggering it causes www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/4139485-egg-donation-and-the-triggering-it-causes?msgid=103766143#103766143

"What if the Sperm identifies as an egg?"

MIND BLOWN.

Maybe that's the the issue 🤯what if it gets to the egg & goes "sorry love you just ain't my type"

@Minster2012 no that's game over there, you've reached the top 😂

And now in my head @Katao I have "I think i better leave right now..." singing away 😂🤣I'm sorry on your update. Bloody fuck boy but it's better for normal length cycle right??

@Minster2012 yeah might add a day or 2. I did used to spot for a few days before af , that stopped a few cycles ago. Looks like I'm back to it. Honestly as soon as you think you can read your body it changes the script! I'm off for a walk to burn off some frustration/ make up for the inevitable calorie overload that will tonight will be 😂

@minster2012 log Tetris game is strong, here's ours. I'm working from our conservatory today needed a break from the same four walls.

Been having on and off cramps most of the day, I'm so scared. They aren't severe but a bit uncomfortable. Midwife still hasn't been in touch.

Do it @Katao the walk that is! It's better than af arriving you gotta think that hun xx

@Kirky658 your logs are wayyyyy neater than ours...and is that a fire pit I spy?? If so very jealous 👀the cramps are the bean getting very very snuggly, you know wriggling in it's gone. All good

@minster2012 haha thank you I've got DH to thank for that he's a bit OCD with his log stacking! Sadly no firepit, bbq covered up to the left and the table and chairs which were our housewarming gift from DH's parents to the right.

I hope it is getting snuggly, it feels a bit like trapped wind 😅

@Katao I feel your pain 💔 hope you're ok x

@Vil10 it's a really good series but honestly haunting! Sorry about blob. Thank you, I'm really just hoping my dad doesn't get it because his vaccine kicks in. She doesn't have any symptoms but the kids will definitely get it now 😖 @Franklydear @Katao

@InkyPaper I think they had the one dose one over there, but yes she could've picked it up after she got it where immunity hasn't kicked in.

@notyetamumbuttrying no thy just live in Dubai where they can do it privately. I really hope so. I have such a fear of losing my dad because my mum and I aren't very close.
How do you feel about that? Do you wish you could talk to him more? My dh is open to talking which is nice but I can tell he feels more and more responsible and upset.

Welcome @Elsie2021 I also have long cycles :) it can be so annoying, CD18-20 is good!

@Juno231 definitely not your fault if you can't get there, I had the same issue with my grandmas funeral in Poland in the summer, it's just so difficult at the moment. I'm sure she'll understand, but do what you feel is right for you x

@Birdladybird omg stop I'm so jealous 🙉 very very lucky! I really really wish we could move to France now lol.

@Minster2012 she has confirmed covid yes 😖 the reason they got tested is because my dad is starting a new job in Abu Dhabi, so they're moving there next month and have been looking for houses. But to cross the border from Dubai to AD you have to have a negative covid test, hence her result.

@paintfairy yay for appointment!

@blackcurrantqueen im just so sorry that you're going through all of that :( hugs x

@Kirky658 I hope you're ok, I can imagine it's very scary x

@Justanothercyster oh she has no symptoms then? You do wonder how many people have or have had it and never know because of no symptoms. Hopefully your dad will be symptom free too if he has it! He's under 60 so that's in his favour. Does he have any underlying health conditions?

Thanks @paintfairy I'll see what vitamins boots has if I have to come off these. It's a niggling headache but not so bad I'm needing paracetamol so hoping it will just go away on it's own very soon and I'll finish the pack of these for this cycle.

@Justanothercyster ooh it's my Polish granny as well! I just worry that my family won't get it at all as they (despite all this!!) still don't follow the guidance (still not law) on covid in Sweden and won't understand why I'd not just break the rules...

@blackcurrantqueen Sweden for granny's funeral. I'm so sorry about the MC btw, are you slightly relieved about being out of limbo in a way? I'm glad they took you seriously and have set you up properly for the next pregnancy at least!

@2020mission if you google pregnacare and headaches LOADS comes up actually. I think you're onto something about being petite - if you think about it would be unreasonable that one size fits all in terms of supplements.

@Justanothercyster oh I see! I hope it doesn't come to that x
I'm ok with it at the moment as there's literally nothing we can do anymore. It is what it is so it's just a matter of waiting and going through the motions until we get to ivf and do ivf. I think he still thinks it might happen naturally and I'm more resigned to the fact that it won't. We've spent so many months talking about it that it's nice not bringing it up. He still does what he's meant to, not smoking, drinking, taking the supplements and exercising so I can't ask anymore of him. With feeling responsible, perhaps I should address that more as we only have male factor. I think at the moment though I won't, and that's something we'll talk about once ivf is over. Not too sure at the mo tbh, just enjoying not talking about it if that makes sense. X

@2020mission not yet anyway, I really hope she is asymptomatic until it's over though as it sounds horrible from people I know who have had symptoms. I hate family being unwell :( it does make you wonder doesn't it.
No conditions but he is a social smoker which annoys me, the amount of times I've told him not to. Plus it can take all ages now, but I'm trying not to think about it.

@Juno231 oh no way! Whereabouts in Poland? Are you full Polish or half and half like me? Ah yes, that's tricky. Well you have to do what's best and safe for you and yours after all, despite what people think.

@notyetamumbuttrying that makes sense, it does feel like a waiting game all the time so like you said sometimes less said makes sense.

Aw @Katao thank you, it does feel like it's going quite fast for me too since the 12 week scan.
Hoping it's not a super short cycle and maybe it's implantation bleeding? 🤞🤞
@blackcurrantqueen glad you got an answer and that you can see recurring miscarriage clinic, even though we would have all much rather there was a baby in there XXX

TW:
my scan went well today, we didn't find out the gender and its legs were crossed so couldn't accidentally see anything either! 💛

@justanothercyster I'm OK thanks hun, just a mither arse, as I think @minster2012 has guessed 🤣 ill feel much better when I can have a little scan - gonna pay for a private one - then least I will know what's what. X

@Justanothercyster works for us at the mo. I'm sure it'll ramp bk up once we've got under way! Where are you up to with tests etc again? X
@BlondePotter that's great to hear! Glad all is well 🥰
@Kirky658 when do you think you can get that done? That'll be nice to do x

@notyetamumbuttrying, hopefully end of Jan all being well. I'm reluctant to book one yet until I've spoken to the midwife as I don't know if they'd scan me on the NHS due to my endo - have to wait and see. How are things with you anyway lovey? Xx

@BlondePotter sounds great. Pleased everything is going well.
Everything else, well, what a bunch we are! 🤣 Not ideal mostly. @blackcurrantqueen I'm glad you are dealing with it ok. Let's hope they can sort this out for you now.

@BlondePotter so glad your scan went well!!x

@Kirky658 your bean is definitely just getting snuggly!!x

@Kirky658 that makes sense. Ok thanks, not a lot whole to report. Just praying each day that my appointment doesn't get cancelled and that's about it really! Cd6 so at least my period is over 🙌🏾
@paintfairy on the video call front, you'll just be so pleased that you're talking to a professional that you'll forget you're on screen. It's nice to have something booked in and to work towards isn't it.

Thanks @Justanothercyster I know you girls understand x
@BlondePotter I did consider implantation bleeding when it was just the once but I've had that on previous pregnancy and if I'm honest with myself I just dont think that's it, it's more like the red spotting I have had before in the run up to af. So glad your scan went well and go team yellow. Each to their own but I think the surprise is worth waiting for 🙂
Hope you are feeling ok @Kirky658 and not too worried. All that burrowing in does make you a bit crampy. Hopefully you hear from the midwife soon.

Hi, @blackcurrantqueen so sorry, glad you're getting answers but God, I was hoping for a cheeky bean...
@Juno231 in Spain funerals are the same day or day after the death so I never get there on time, if it was very important I was there they would have to ask the priest to wait until I made the journey
I think I feel meh as I feel I have nothing to look forward to, it was nice to see bestie this weekend, even for a few minutes chat, I'll have to be more proactive
Bossboy new chapter, I must be doing a good job at ignoring him, today he came out of his office, to come to my work area, he brought with him a bunch of pills and a glass of water, note he didn't need anything from where I was, he then loudly down five or six pills, mints for all I know, made a few oh god noices, collected everything back and walk back into his office, it took all I have not to laugh, but he got no reaction
