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 did you get a scan as well? Could be fibroids or cervical polyps... just odd no one bothers to check for you!

Still got thrush but much better right now! Pain wise anyway :)

@Minster2012 it's important you catch the US office, it's SO good.
@clolo @MichelleScarn my OH is a super English (think cords, tweed and signet rings) so kept resisting watching the US version until I made him during first lockdown - he ended up loving it and we watched all seasons back to back!

@Justanothercyster what thread are you adding to? Is this still the AIBU?

@kirky658 wow thats amazing!!! Look at its little halo. Glad to hear everything is going as planned

@MichelleScarn @clolo I need to watch the UK one properly (office) first I guess, I kind of gave up on it the first time round! And OMG @clolo Martha is soooo dull yes she makes drama I hate her but I don't like Tamara either & think Suzie is trailer trash poison and billy is a child wtf were they doing putting them together??

@Katao not crass don't worry I had a lightbulb moment on that yesterday weirdly during the counselling session & thought Jesus I wonder if we can get the transfer fee back?? Or part? I need to read the small print. I doubt it, because it will include all the appointment times, scans, embryologists etc, I know for my friend who's just got pregnant before her ivf started she'd only had a baseline scan and was worried that her ivf small print said if she pulled out after ANY appointment or scan had taken place she'd be liable for 50% of the full treatment cost (for her would have been £3600 even as 50%) but she phoned them & they said that was more to put off any wavering ppl & they charged her for the scan & appointment. But we've had all but the actual "transfer", oh I could maybe claim the embryo glue which was £155 which we've paid I would have been paying for more drugs yesterday too. So we paid £1635 then the drugs before another few hundred then would have got more drugs yesterday (anyone want any progesterone or oestrogen???) so I guess that ACTUAL transfer wasn't that much. I might email when we get the AMH results & ask if we can get any back or against any further appointments maybe. I will get my price list out.

@lucyrp MONDAY!!! Yay!!! Take a chill day! Did you get through to the docs on your blackouts??

@paintfairy DH has taken to watching videos of back cracking OMG it sends shivers through me . He wanted to get me to try it for him.
I must clean the house too. Nahhhhhhhhh 🤪let's not bother, some ppl have OHs that clearly do that, until they send them here not bothered 😜

@Juno231 they did 2 pelvic scans but not an internal one. The second was repeated because I had fluid in my pouch of Douglas (I thought she was taking the piss) so I had another 3 months later. And it was fine that time. But nothing else showed. Who knows. 🤷‍♀️
Glad your thrush is better. Nothing worse. When I first was with DH i got it a few times. I think my body wasn't used to any action. 🤣 If its improving hopefully it'll fast go the right way now. Bit useless you can't actually get hold of a gp when you need one though!

@Juno231 I think your OH would like mine. It might be his brother.

@Minster2012 don't you complain about that jab, secondary effects and all, you'll be safer, motherly told off out of the way.... I work Saturday and probably just telly and Lego for Sunday, ds ended up in our bed until eleven last night, he felt a bit unwell and is terrified of getting sick because of covid, so we'll need some self family care activities
@lucyrp how time flies, scan time already 🥰

@Minster2012 Billy the kid 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Susie is vile but I did think he was not innocent in it. He says one thing and then goes and does another. Tamara I feel sorry for. My DH said she's not attractive though. 🤣 But no one deserves that.
My DH can't crack my back. It frustrates me. Maybe we need a video.....
And no one will clean around here if I don't. But do I care? 🤔🤣

@Minster2012 I find it so attractive... not gonna lie. OH does have 2 brothers!

@Juno231 are any of them single? 🤔🤣 That sounds perfect to me!

Putting the washing machine on, counts as housework, right?

@Franklydear yes, definitely. I have mine on too. 😁

What a fab day for you yesterday @Kirky658, interview going well and getting to see your wonderful little jellybean 🥰 Thanks for sharing your photo.

Sorry about the bfn @Franklydear, dont lose hope there's still time.

I'm having an epic fail this morning. After being told at my last scan (just an investigation to see what's going wrong, not a fun getting to see a jellybean scan for any newbies) that my bladder wasn't full enough despite drinking 2 pints of water. I decided I was going to drink even more this time round and start even earlier. So 2hrs beforehand I drank 3 pints of water, absolutely couldn't hold it in and had to go pee only 20mins layer. Was still within the 60-90min limit before scan so drank another 2 pints. After 10 mins my DS decided to jump on me like a bouncy castle causing me to almost pee myself and I jsut couldn't hold it After that so had to pee again. With only 5mins left within the 60min window I downed another 2 pints and now want to cry so much from needing to pee and feeling sick from having drunk 7 pints of water this morning! They better have some bloody good info after this scan to make up for it......that's if I dont pee myself before the scan I have no faith I can hold it much longer! 🙈

@Franklydear that definitely counts as that’s all I’ve managed so far too 😂
Any other symptoms today? I am really suffering with insomnia and I don’t have anything that is stressing me out so naturally I’ve decided it could be a sign. However, my boobs don’t hurt at all and I don’t have any other symptoms so...

@DKDK123 oh hun bless you that doesn’t sound fun I do hope all goes well with your scan and your bladder is full enough.

When I say I'll probably clean I mean I really probably should. We need that tumbleweed emoji again to describe my floors 😂

@Minster2012 thanks for sharing. I thought that might be the case although it seems so unfair. The transfer is the most significant part but then obviously only one piece of the puzzle whdnnit comes to the whole process. I'm not sure I could do ivf but I'm not letting myself think that far ahead now especially with appointment being rescheduled.

@Franklydear just boils my blood, the asd thing that woman mentioned really annoyed me too. Staying away from the thread now!

@Juno231 yes the aibu. I'm avoiding it so I don't say something I regret. Not worth the time 😂

@Minster2012 I know, trying to stay positive. I think I've been reading too many Instagram posts about failed ivf recently and I guess it just scares me. Thank you ❤️ I hope you're as ok as can be. And hope your covid jab doesn't affect you!

@dkdk123 thanks lovely ❤️ oh god I know how that feels, with my endo I have had so so so many tvus scans, the sonographer giggled yesterday when I said don't worry love I've done this so many times 😂 I was told to go with a full bladder last night so I drank so much on the way there, then got told no it will have to be internal... Oh the sweet peeing relief 😂

Also just wanted to share... @minster2012 I've taken the Garmin off 😂❤️

@Minster2012 I did indeed! BP was fine but had my bloods done too so she's ringing me back about those Monday afternoon. Yeah can't believe it's Monday!

@Franklydear I know its come around so quickly in the scheme of things!

Oh @DKDK123 that sounds torturous! I'm such an anxious pee-er need go 3 times before I leave the house sort of thing 😂 hope you can hold it in and all works out!

@lucyrp wow Monday! How's the scanxiety?

@Justanothercyster yeah, I think we better leave them to it now
@Kirky658 so proud of you

@paintfairy billy the kid indeed. OMG just watched it

@Franklydear that's more than I've done today. I might go get the bin in from when I didn't yesterday. My lazy lovely neighbours haven't brought ours in after I got theirs in 2 weeks in a row bastards.

@Katao OMG I've just had a phone call asking for my bank details for some refund!! Don't know what yet but some!! Yayyyyyy

@Juno231 my DH proper yorkshire. Tweed, (he did wear cords but it's mainly chinos as I don't like cords) but his 2 brothers both live in cords/gilets, ALWAYS a flat cap he's lost so many I can't count. My DH is the only brother who hasn't lost his signet ring but he doesn't wear it as on our first date I said I thought signet rings are poncy twattish (opppps) he doesn't wear any Jewelry except his (now 2nd wedding ring)

@DKDK123 HA HA HA HA HA I'm laughing with you 🤣😂I hope it goes ok lovely

@Justanothercyster I can show you the instagrams with @lucyrp that we've been following which have all worked!!

@Justanothercyster yes like @Minster2012 says there's a couple of ivf people that we both follow that have got a BFP first time! One lovely lady had her first fresh transfer and got a BFP! She was supposed to have frozen transfer but went on to have fresh and wallah!

@Kirky658 it's an internal and external scan so luckily they'll let me go pee after the external before they do the up the foof one. I failed literally within seconds of my last post and had to pee again. I have a big fibroid that pushes against my bladder so trying to hold in any wee is a challenge and a half. Have just downed another pint and a half while frantically Googling can too much water harm you 😂 Now to make a very uncomfortable 30min drive to the hospital and hope I don't pee myself.

@Minster2012 some refund? It wasn't someone dodgy asking for them, was it?
@Justanothercyster that pissed me off too. So the world has to stop for it? I don't think so. I have commented......
@DKDK123 I'm terrible and can't hold it. When I've been, I've never drank enough as I don't dare!

@Minster2012 ha well when I first met OH I told him I thought only gypsies wore signet rings (cause that's all I'd seen back home!). Alas it didn't deter him and he's never properly lost it either. Unfortunately that means he's done the Prince Charles thing of having a wedding ring on his pinky behind the signet ring as you can't really wear them on adjacent fingers. Except nearly no one knows that's a thing so they assume he doesn't wear a ring at all which bugs me!
