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

@paintfairy I hope the fertility tests help you find the answers you're looking for. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

@Kirky658 ha bless you! Just hope your nerves are calmed now 😘
@InkyPaper so bad isn't it. All it does is mask symptoms, not cure them! You have end of the week tiredness I bet, that's me every Thursday night. Gonna go to bed soon 😂
@Franklydear bless your Dh! Logic is the only way forward sometimes isn't it!
Ooh so tomorrow is test day then, that's exciting 😬
@paintfairy good prediction! Sounds like endo to me. Can you ask for another referral and go for a laparoscopy? They don't want to do those when doing ivf as it's surgery. Best to get it out the way before starting ivf, but having said that the dr was like pregnancy will stop the endo... I was like, yeah that's not coming easily is it hun 😆
Always knew Dan was a dick! It's that thick neck of these 😂

Thick neck of his* not these 🤦🏾‍♀️

@notyetamumbuttrying he just didn't behave right at the last dinner party.
Doesn't endo cause pain though? I don't have pain. Just bizarre LP bleeding.

@paintfairy yeah I wasn't surprised at all. Can spot a wanker a mile off, fell for enough of them. 😂 Luckily I grew tired of their fuck boys ways in my mid twenties and met dh at 28.
Ah ok, yeah it does cause pain. A lot of it. Pre period, on period, at ovulation, during sex, after sex, it feels relentless sometimes! Have you looked into LP defect? Are they short?

Right so catching up It may not be a full replying to everyone but a sexy cliff note style instead seeing as I now know what they are, so after @DKDK123 making me have a full emotional release @Skip86 ❤️that at quoting my words back at me and us all crying and feeling the love and using highly uncouth words as is our way 🤣@MichelleScarn but wait I'm missing an in joke?? The office? (I've only seen one episode!) need to add to list.

@Dollybird89 OH job/brownies wearing a chemise on Valentine's night all sounds great without AF. Winner.

@blackcurrantqueen the cock book was for you after your MC then you seemed really happy & I started colouring it I'm sorry 😩

Right

• some ppl's other halves take vitamins themselves 🤯are they also housetrained??

• twins jesus maybe oh god
• @BlondePotter has written an awesome blog on cocktail dates in lockdown we could all use at some point, I'm def interested!! That's awesome! You are upduffed so you're alright 🤣
• someone has some nice symptoms there, steel nipples cutting the cold *@Franklydear* 👀 & I am practical too as you know, a plan, thank your DH 😘
• there's a lot of Valentine's AF sync look at that rise @DJmum83 🤞🏻
• @lucyrp has a video of her flappy bits & she's not afraid to use it 😝
• *@Juno231* has a lot of cottage cheese, sorry thrush
• maybe we need an AIBU on back cracking?? I hate it DH loves it - like marmite.
• bloody hell some OHs buy lube as well. I literally ASKED DH to specifically buy lube the other day or order lube as I'm isolating. NOPE. *@Vil10 ive said before yours is a legend. *@Juno231* @Vil10* might be SLIDING off her chair soon 🤣😝
• banana bread better have been eaten
• flatulence pants are a thing. An expensive thing. Do they do flatulence boxers. No need I've just ordered XL for DH as penance for not buying lube. Thanks *@Juno231* Valentine's sorted. I haven't, I've just sent him a link saying I can't spend £22 on a joke present I'd rather have lube 🤦🏼‍♀️he laughed as he's a farter

-everyone has the strength to face anything. I have a tattoo that reminds me how, I'm getting there in the blog

• for Newbies "X" is my DS, his name starts with X
• relaxing days for some 🙌🏻🙌🏻

@theotherfossilsister every month in between "our ivfs" I tested, and still looked and still hoped even the months I had my bloods done an no ovulation. We can't help it. Evil minds!

@Sausage1990 BACK IN THE GAMEEEEEEEE YESSSS

Sorry, wtf @MichelleScarn "your wee one will be a lonely one?" WTAF??? Would you actually say "not for want of trying?" Or "the struggle is real" To shut them up?? Or "do you realise comments like that can be incredibly hurtful to SOME ppl?" To be a bit more subtle but reach a goal? I think I'd have to say something at an actual comment like that. Ppl assume because we have a "miracle child" that's enough.

And because I've been a bit more open in my real life too another of my ivf thread ladies from 2018 has sent me a message saying she's also 21weeks pregnant, naturally! From "like one sex session"

So that's 2 from our ivf thread from MN then! I'm over the moon but I was like Jesus cut a girl some slack babe!!

Annnnnnnnnnndddddddd over and out

@Franklydear we are all hoping those cramps mean nothing

FUCKING HELL DH WOULDNT LET ME WATCH MAFS TONIGHT 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Pps to anyone going forwards for ivf remember our first go WORKED (to my friend ok) but as did many others on my thread at the time first time, my friends now & I know others IRL here who it's worked first time on a fresh transfer

Don't lose heart ❣️

@Minster2012 WHAT! You missed a blinder! And I'm pretty good at reading people @notyetamumbuttrying and I've never gone for that type. Thankfully. I'm also pretty good at avoiding certain kinds of women too. Can't be doing with the drama!
My LP is 14 days religiously. And my progesterone tests done on the appropriate day are fine too. So who knows! I never have pain though and none from dtd either. So it'll be interesting to see if anything ever comes to light! Time will tell. I do wonder if it's cervix related. It bleeds if I have a smear. They always note this stuff down but no one seems concerned. 🤣

@Minster2012 its the Office USA that its from, def good for random laughs.
Yep 'an only child is a lonely child'... apparently,
'Oh fuck off you twat' is very much mumbled at them from under my PPE at work. But I'm actually thinking of doing the overshare of my ttc journey given their such interest. I'll take great delight in talking about meaty periods and fishy burps.. although I wouldn't put it past for them to be like the OP from the spiralling out of control thread and be horrified by the actual sex etc it takes to make said baby!

Is lower back pain a symptom of af due? Can't sleep , had terrible mood swings, indigestion and cramps and a randy fucker
My emotions r getting wild... I cried because OH wasn't up to sex and went sleep . If it is af she needs to hurry up and get here...goddamit!!

@paintfairy I'm gonna catch up this morning but you should NEVER trust someone you can't tell what is head, neck or shoulders really should you??? And when are your fertility tests again?

@MichelleScarn Jesus well you've come to a place where we have quick a few lonely children, though my parents are encouraging a lonely child here. I def would, next time they say something maybe say "how many siblings do you have?" Then like a slow whistle "Jesus I'll be 56 trying for that many doing my current maths on the second" 🤔

@Dollybird89 er I guess it's one of those things for both AF & pg I'm afraid. Or you are just a psycho bitch. All possible 🤪

Bfn here this morning, but I'll admit I am testing early for the first time, next test on the 10th when af is actually due

@Franklydear everything crossed for next time gorgeous 😘

@Minster2012 I too added to that thread and just had to tag that bugger. What a twatface.
I'm so terrified of ivf not working, it's literally been eating me up 😥

@Kirky658 awww yay! Congrats!

@paintfairy ahhhhj Dan's a knob!!

@Franklydear sorry about bfn, but not out yet!

@Sausage1990 yay so glad your back in the game!! Valentines appears to be the weekend.

@Minster2012 yay glad your back ☺️ and that dress is gorgeous! I love it!

@Franklydear sorry on the bfn but as you said still early days so with all your symptoms let’s hope those hormones are building.

@Kirky658 aww your scan!! Fab that everything went well yesterday. Super happy for you.

@Justanothercyster i added a few times too, but I like @Minster2012 statement to stay as last, it's brilliant
I am ok, I knew is early, but a girl can dream

@Justanothercyster please don't let it eat you up there are plenty of success stories, plenty, I'm seeing my friend down the road today for a drink (in their fab garden if it stops pissing it down!) & her bro & sis have a gorgeous 1 year old in Dec from their first ivf at the same clinic as us, he had slight male issues, then just unexplained, they just needed a little help, it's one of the reasons my MIL thinks ivf "means you get a baby" cos until our latest troubles the 2 ppl (us first then them) she knew it just worked first time 🤷‍♀️& didn't really talk about the process. But it's a tough process not gonna lie. Science is amazing though 😘and we got each other

Watching MAFS woooo

What's everyone doing this weekend?
I've got my Covid jab tomorrow! So I'll prob get ill 😫

@Minster2012 loved your reply on that post!! He can be, however this morning before our bonk he said "do you want me to do a Harry Potter" I went what you on about, he goes "slitherin" wow🤦🏽‍♀️

@blackcurrantqueen oooo that's good to know!! Hopefully it arrives today and we can start using it and it'll work🤞🏼

@Franklydear I have everything crossed for the next test🤞🏼

@Minster2012 I'm off today so off to my grandmas, then the food shop, clean the house, then got to wait in for some guy who's coming to look round the outside of the house to discuss flood defences or something, then lean steak burgers on protein thin bagels, home made chips and salad for tea, nothing then all weekend, might sort food cupboard out, few walks! Hope your jab goes well!! Both my grandma and nana have had their first and 1 is still unwell and the other was fine, 🤞🏼 you'll be fine x

Morning bonk✅ and feel like ive got some ovulation pains coming too✅

@Minster2012 I'll probably go wild and do some cleaning 😂 hope your jab goes well and you don't feel unwell. I don't mean to be crass and feel free to tell me to bugger off but do you get any of your money back as transfer didn't go ahead or is that just the risk you sign up to? I will have to go private if we ho down the ivf route so just wondering.

@franklydear sorry about BFN hun, still time! ❤️

@justanothercyster @florence13 thank you 😘

@minster2013 enjoy your jab 😏

We don't have much planned for the weekend (haha lockdown) but we need to nip to town for some essential bits, and will walk the dog as well round the park in town. Other than that, DH will be home at 3pm, so says he will do the cleaning, omg, I will have to remind myself to be grateful but I have very exacting standards 😂

@Minster2012 OH is working tomorrow all day so think I'm going to have a relaxing day at home watching some films etc. Done all the cleaning and whatever in the week I feel like I haven't stopped this week in comparison to other weeks. Then Sunday at home together before my 12 week scan Monday🥰😳

@Minster2012 enjoy your jab!
The back cracking is a massive relief to me, which is why I like it. I permanently hurt, pretty much.
I've a video fertility appointment Tuesday. I've had a text this morning to say it's being swapped to a video appointment (never was anything else as far as i knew) and I'll get a link texted a couple of hours before.
🤣 I honestly hadn't really noticed his neck. But his mum needs to downgrade her opinion of him.

Must only be me that can't motivate myself to clean the house. Lockdown and boredom or not. 🤣

@paintfairy I thought it might've been my cervix before I stumbled upon endo. If you google sensitive cervix, it's a thing! You're right, they never do seem concerned do they! Quite frightening the amount of stuff that just goes undiagnosed for years 😬
@Minster2012 ha yes, agree with that! He's all neck isn't he 😂
How you doing today hun?
I plan to go to the post office tomorrow 🥳🤣
Hope you don't get too unwell from the jab.
@Franklydear let's hope just too early then! 🤞🏾
