Meaty periods, ivf roadmaps & announcing BFPS on tannoy 📢TTC Bus 31

[Minster2012]

We’ve got the fastest TTC 🚌in the UK & we aren’t afraid of a modification or 2 as we have a bus with a beautiful panoramic roof seat where there is wine & snacks a plenty for those that need a bit of a breather from our race car but still hang on to our ride! 🌞

We thought we might make it to Valentine’s Day ♥️💓 but oh no we talk too much! If you want to talk most things other than TTC we are the right bus, tv, (married at first sight what the hell?!), pets, annoying DHs, good food & exactly how many orgasms should we be having?

We’ve got a rowdy bus of newbies, oldies with history, excited ladies going forwards for IVF & pregnant mates we can’t get rid of...& February is gonna be BIG!

So grab your crotchless panties and not much else for Valentine’s Day 💓and invite your men (or women folk) to dinner cos they are being treated like a REAL LADY. Forget January blues. February is where it’s at and we say UP YOURS TTC, we are cumming to get you 🙌🏻🥰

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

@Minster2012 so so sorry to read that, your attitude astounds me. Your pure grit and determination tells me you'll get that baby number 2.

You enjoy all the G&Ts 🍸

@Minster2012 my heart sank when I read your update, I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we all wanted this for you so bloody much and it just feels downright cruel.
Maybe take some time out if that's what you need and just know that if virtual friendship and support was all it took to get pregnant you'd be the most up-duffed by far. So so sorry xxxxx

@Minster2012 nooo it didn't even cross my mind that it would happen even though I knew technically it could. I was just so sure this one was meant to be. Is OH supportive of another go at this then? He'd better be 🙏. So many hugs and much love from this London gal for you xxx

@Minster2012 I am so fucking angry for you, but also astounded by your calm collectedness 💕 you've got this xxx

@Minster2012 Oh God, I'm so new to this thread but already weirdly invested and feel what utter hell that must be. How utterly, horribly, unfair. Infertility is a monster.

You're amazing, though and will get another baby.

@Minster2012 just popped on quickly between birthday celebrations but I’m so so sorry to hear your news. Although glad that all your results were good and you have already started moving forward. But take time for yourself and know that we are all rooting for you the whole way and I just know you are meant to have a second baby. Sending all the hugs and love.

Oh @Minster2012 I'm so sorry to hear about your embryo 💛 not something I had realised might happen and I was so hopeful for you this time. I'm glad DH hasn't put a hard stop on it and that it's not the end of your journey.
We are 100% here with you for whatever you need xx

Thank you all gorgeous ladies 🥰😘♥️feeling the love and cuddles and hugs thank you I'm virtually hugging you all back right now & have been ugly crying a lot & my best mate has made me laugh by pointing out what an ungrateful f ing embryo it clearly was for not realising what a lovely expensive fluffy pad it had waiting & the next one will be much more humble 🤣she knows me well....as well as @lucyrp threatening to send me a video of her flappy bits (there's context don't worry but you had to part of that dm!) I'm also colouring in an appropriate picture.

I'm sorry for not fully explaining to those that don't know the ivf process but my head is so all over the process I even got my age wrong in 2018, I'm now 36 heading to 37 in July so whatever I was in feb in 2018 🤣.

@Juno231 DH is supportive now we've had the actual convo, he is happy to do whatever I/we want, which could potentially include surrogacy again but the first step is to see if my eggs are still viable or not. I'm fully expecting them to be not after another 18 months of chemo from the last round but I'm actually heartened I thought it was earlier in the years than that. On the thaw, I will put more info on that on the blog day 3s have a slightly lower chance of survival but it's still 1 in 4 don't make it.

for others who may not know the ivf process is the AMH which is an indicator of a woman's egg reserves which you are born with then diminish with age & other factors (like my chemo) & then how the reserve might then respond to the ivf drugs they use. It's not the be all and end all but it's a major factor where there are no male issues, mine is really low for my age but we still have a miracle child so we've beaten it once 🤣💪🏻so it's the first step to see IF anything is possible with me /my eggs now or not at all.

I'm a planner, I like to know I have a back up, I phoned my GP to get back on the Covid jab list, AMH results will take 2 weeks, so nothing to be done til then anyway, except sort that & ugly cry in between cos we all know in between breaks of thinking there's a plan there's moments of 😭😭😭😭there is with TTC, MC, life in general, fucking lockdown everything

I'm fucking rambling. Wine.
@Franklydear stop me

@Kirky658 tomorrow you take the tannoy and you FUCKING boss that interview 🙌🏻& show off that bean
🥰

@minster2012 yes boss! Loves ya! ❤️🙌

@Minster2012 I fully admit to crying great big fat ugly tears for you while reading your news. And as positive as I know you're trying to be remember it's OK to take some time out of trying to be positive and scream and cry and cuss at the world and how fucking unjust life can be, because that's also needed to help you heal. Then come pull up a chair on the roof and admire the panoramic view with us up here while sipping some G&T until you feel ready to drive again.
The stars are aligning, they just haven't fully aligned yet. Just remember the advice that you gave me, you will get that second baby, it might not be via the route you first thought, but you will get it somehow just hang in there. Sending you the biggest virtual hug the Internet can carry 😘

@DKDK123 that was lovely! Nearly made me crying reading that. Us women really are the best! I'm so pleased to have been on this crazy ride with you all. We love you @Minster2012 💕♥️

@Minster2012 I’m so sorry, it’s just not on, and I feel ugly crying and snorting is an appropriate response and I advise a whole bucket of wine, and then more ugly crying...(helped me, think I even howled😭)

You got this though, it will happen just waiting for the one for you, gonna be a special one xxx

Well said @dkdk123... I had a little cry for @minster2012 too. It so unfair and fucking awful. Your baby will come 💕 God so many emotions tonight. Xx

Hi all, found you from 'the other thread' @Minster2012 am so in agreement with the other posters in sending you love, its what the poster who complained about the thread titles should really see about this section, the love, care and support that's clearly here for each other, and tnats what matters, regardless of how uncouth some seem to think the words used are!

I’m so sorry to see your news @Minster2012, I will keep all my fingers and toes crossed for you having enough eggs in your basket for some more little embryos! I am amazed at your positive attitude, I would have just taken myself to bed and been a misery for all to see. One day when your babies are all grown up and they realise what you went through to bring them into the world, they will feel like the most loved people on the planet! And I say babieS because I fully expect good things from your next treatments! Maybe even twins, now wouldn’t that be incredible?!

Thank you sweets & welcome @MichelleScarn you are very welcome here, sorry it's not more upbeat, normal bus service will resume shortly, busman's holiday for me tomorrow as I face MIL when she picks up DS for our upcoming transfer (not cancelled her so I can self care) but good news incoming from the others I promise

Also as we said in the curtain twitchers thread, bad language, LOTS of TMI, memes, fun & chat

I'm off to bed after my bucket of wine, DH also trying to gross me out by trying to make me crack his back which he knows I hate eueeeewwwwwwww
In other news My cock is getting more colourful

@minster2012 saw this in my book and had to colour it in and send it your way lovely xx

@Minster2012 Sorry to hear your news, I really hope your next steps go well! We are using the Clearblue OPKs after many years of worrying. I just hope it works out..

@MichelleScarn
AF has reared its head here too right just now
So perhaps we can be cycle buddies!
Will admit I've been FISHing around feeling the cervix and looking for red stuff all day 😂

I'm TTC #2 too for about the last year, after no issues with my first, have had 3 v early miscarriages (1 early MC and 2 'chemicals' about 5weeks) and frankly I'm fucking sick of it now!

Xx

@DKDK123 put that beautifully. I think many a tear have been shed with you this evening @Minster2012. You do all the ugly crying you need to lovey. Sleep well.

Welcome Michelle. You are joining us on a low but that's all part of it isn't it unfortunately!

@Kirky658 good luck with all tomorrow x

Couldn't have said it better myself x
Having a big ice cream for you this eve our Minster xx

@Minster2012 oh lovely, I'm so sorry ♥️ the biggest of hugs for you ♥️♥️ I can't say anything else the others haven't already said much better than I could but take all the time you need and know that we're all here for you x

@Minster2012 who knew you can drive a bus from the rooftop, well, once again you've proven the impossible, wonderwoman
I shall keep you busy with my silly symptoms, don't take them to heart, we have been fooled before
1 nausea
2 pulling cramps
3 not much appetite
4 headache
5 posting at this hour
6 steel nipples
7 sore boobs
8 bloated, feeling more round
I am sure I have forgotten something.... then I'll test it'll be bfn, and when af comes I'll test again in case it isn't 🤷

Oh @Minster2012 what can I even say. I'm so sorry. My heart is hurting for you. You have been through so much and it's entirely not ok for shit like that to happen to the best people. But.. when that babe comes into your life my god it will be the perfect creature meant for you and your family. What a special babe it will be.
And I personally think there is no such thing as 'ugly' crying, only full emotional release that is gloriously profound and entirely necessary, therefore making it a perfectly beautiful thing.

Huge hugs xxxxxx
