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

I caught up yesterday but it just didn't feel right to reply last night

Welcome to the newbies we've picked up along the way from the AIBU thread! 👋🏻 So glad you could join us 🤗

Guys I think I've joined you ladies who are in in the TWW & valentines testing!!! I've not had a TWW since bloody July!!! I've been doing opks since my possible peak on Monday but yesterday it was right back down low so I think I had my peak and I had a painful crampy tummy Monday night which was hopefully ovulation... We DTD Monday & Tuesday so we just about covered it. I mean I doubt we'll be so lucky to catch 1st cycle back on it but girls I think I'm back in the game!!! It feels so stupid to be excited about that because ttc is a ball ache & it takes freaking ages, but I'm just chuffed after pretty much 4 months in limbo 🥳

@larrythelizard sorry to interrupt your cheese chat from yesterday but are you lactose intolerant? Or intolerant to dairy in general? Because if its the former (lactose intolerant) the brand Lactofree has a brie, blue Stilton, cheddar & cream cheese that's all lactose free. Waitrose have a LF halloumi & feta too! Delish!

@dollybird89 that's great news about OHs job - so glad things are looking up.

@kirky685 aaahhhhh gorgeous scan of baba 💕 so pleased for you. Do you have an EDD yet?

Omg @InkyPaper me too! I have been absolutely knackered. Could kip on a chickens lip!!! It's probably just the energy zapping effects of progesterone 🙈

@lucyrp I'm really glad your BP was ok 😊 that's a relief and glad they're checking your bloods to be sure. 💕

@lucyrp ahh good news on the BP, hope the bloods come back OK too. Glad you've been able to eat a good dinner! We had pizza tonight I've had such an unhealthy day haha x

@sausage1990 great to hear you're back in the game lovely! Thanks doll, edd is 18th Sept 😘

@kirky685 ahh lush September baby! Love that! Xx

@notyetamumbuttrying @InkyPaper yes their answer is the pill. I went with my periods/spotting long before ttc. But I'd come off the pill in preparation for that. I bleed sometimes for 2 weeks after O and it can be heavy. Other times its light and brown. Really varies. So I went with that. They did a day 2 test (oddly not a 21) and a scan. Then referred for to gynaecology. Who said they couldn't look at much else and said it must be hormonal. So their answer was to go back on the pill. Yeah helpful. 🙄 That was 2019.
I've actually since read about others being tested for cancer and all sorts but with me they clearly weren't interested. I predicted i would struggle ttc though, as it didn't seem right. And here we are!

@Kirky658 well the 17th would be a more optimal day, but I guess the 18th us ok😂🥰

@Sausage1990 love lactofree! It saved me when I couldn't tolerate lactose during my IBS days. Welcome to the Valentines club! I ovulated on Monday as well I think.

YES @Kirky658 so pleased for you!!! 💜💜💜

@Sausage1990 yeah pretty sure she ticked every box on the blood list so 😂 hopefully be okah or nothing too bad !💓

@Kirky658 oooo pizza ! 😍😍

@Sausage1990 sadly it's all the bits of dairy not just lactose...used to just be lactose but gradually got worse. I am becoming an expert in vegan cheese though!

@clolo absolutely it is #threatlevelmidnight
@blackcurrantqueen that would be great, same here with no2 I want to weep and poke my earlier self for the speed I got pg with no1, literally the first cycle after stopping contraception, I don't know if its the stress of work, general shittyness of life just now or what, but the bloody old AF is appearing clockwork every 28 days for 4 days and no happy BFP. If one more person at work says to me 'not a plan for number 2 then? Or last week 'that poor wee one will be a lonely one' I will scream!!

@Minster2012 just read the blog, you really are such a good writer you make us feel it with you, that's a gift.
Really hope you are doing ok. Been thinking about you all day. Take all the time you need.

@Juno231 how did you get on with GP?

@Sausage1990 welcome to the TWW club, I ovulated between Tuesday or Wednesday I think.

@Kirky658 massive congrats love the scan picture and good-luck for the job, I think you will get it.

@lucyrp great news on the BP hopefully bloods come back ok.

Xxx

@Kirky658 lovely to see your scan and hear all going well!

@Sausage1990 around valentines for testing here too!

I’m off tomorrow too after crazy 4 days at work! And relax...

@larrythelizard oh that's gutting about the dairy not lactose. You're braver than me with the vegan cheese, i've been intolerant for about 12yrs & in the early days it was only vegan cheese... It was gross. Although it's probably improved over the years, I'm just grateful for Lactofree saving the day @Juno231 I'm with you 100% it's a lefe saver... Although I'm envious of your ibs days being behind you. I thought mine were until pregancy and this pesky hormones royally forked it up. Carefully managing flair ups again after years of being managed 🙈 its the pits.

@DJmum83 @Juno231 yes love being in the valentines club, I'll probably be bleeding for it but it's cool. It means ovulation happened which is a win for me right now!! However let's remain hopeful 😉💕

@thinkingandblinking wwww there's quite a few of us waiting on valentines... All our cycles have synced up ahah 😂

@clolo @MichelleScarn you had me howling at #threatlevelmidnight - oh how the turn tables!

@DJmum83 I I tried calling 4 times - got through on the last one only to be told I needed to see a GP (duh?) and to call back at 3pm to make an appointment... I never did lol.

Alrighty then ladies & hello to any newbies I'll get to you I promise much love 🥰

@Kirky658 let's see this baby that's been causing US so much worry with your super slow heart rate

Oh and I hope you liked my least eloquent writing ever...the addition to the AIBU thread I've just realised my own racing heart made me write like an absolute twat. So I'll put it here and I'm afraid someone did get shanked today for being a knob to me and it wasn't me (yet) and no I won't nope 🍆 but oooo @Florence13 I have ordered the scandi "cultivate" duns dress slightly tipsy last night for £12.10 (YES!) from babipur at 11.12pm

https://www.babipur.co.uk/organic-clothing/organic-clothing-sale-kids-adults/duns-adult-cultivate-black-short-sleeve-wrap-dress.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiA0-6ABhDMARIsAFVdQv8keVmvXilfR-U7BtR9j9bTc0s6IxaBYjCh4bY2sraQfKS9lsIfdEaAo8CEALww_wcB

Right where's that baby then I'll be back hold on
Sorry will catch up

@Juno231 I actually managed to get a dwight schrute shunning reference into a thread recently... was sadly pleased with myself!

@Sausage1990 ooh I didn't think of that! Perhaps I'm in the ttw then (irregular cycles, so I never know what my body is doing). Also, yes to lactofree!! Absolute lifesaver when I realised lactose and gluten were triggering IBS flares. I saw the lactofree stilton in Asda once, a couple of years back and I've never seen it anywhere since. Stilton's my fave cheese so I'm gutted 😂

@paintfairy it's just absolute madness, I can't believe with all my those symptoms that they basically just shrugged at you

@lucyrp your tea sounds delicious!

@Minster2012 🤣 that mug is amazing!

Wait @Kirky658 your baby has a halo??? Or yes, it's eating doughnuts and has stolen your heartbeat that's why it was freaking you out with your bloody heart rate

❣️❣️💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻😝😝😝🥰🥰🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻yaaayyyyyy

So someone said I told you so right???

TOLD YOU SOOOOOOOOO
Where was your tannoy announcement??
And you aced your interview!
Booooommm
Obs
Right what else I miss??

Evening ladies !!!

@Vil10 I believe in the conceive plus you know... used it and fell first cycle using it with my DD.
reminds me I didn't use it this month!! Will remember next cycle!!

@Kirky658 what a beautiful healthy sticky little bean! I'm so pleased for you!!! Congratulations on the interview too sounds VERY promising!!!

@Minster2012 oh hey pretty lady! Love the mug! Xxx

Well if this don't get me some 🍆 I'm at a loss hahah . Mrs romantic or what hahah!

@minster2012 you did say I told you so! Only the true bus driver can use the tannoy tho, perks of the job 😜❤️

@blackcurrantqueen @thinkingandblinking @djmum83 ❤️

I am now off to bed after an incredible day. Night ladies, love you all. So so grateful to have met such amazing inspirational ladies.

@InkyPaper I did wonder if it was low progesterone but the day 21 blood tests recently don't show that. So I'm still non the wiser. Maybe the fertility stuff will show something?

And MAFS. I'm so angry I was right about Dan. 😡😡
