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

From last thread (was late replying sorry !)
@katao thank you!
@minster2012 thanks... I don't see myself as motivational but yay? 🤣 I'm always drinking about 2l a day.. just water + juice (sugar free) been having the odd small bag of mini eggs lately... OH classes them as a treat for the hard work lol .

Oh and I totally agree that you did the right thing @minster2012 rearding the vaccine ... until theres 100% certainty it not affevt you i wouldnt chance it after implantation!

@justanothercyster he sometimes says he will take care of him self... hell no! I don't care if it's 2 min of sex or an hour... get that super sperm in me!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's snowing again 😁 been for a rather chilly walk in the woods .. took my proper camera... only to get 2 pics and battery went dead 🤦‍♀️

From last bus:
@lucyrp how bloody annoying! Weds is tomorrow, maybe it's a week turnaround!! 🤞🏾
@Kirky658 9 years is ridiculous! Did you get a laparoscopy to detect it in the end? I'm ringing the gp tomorrow to see if they'll refer me to gynae based off my inconclusive investigations so far!
@Vil10 how exciting mate!!
@Minster2012 I wouldn't have had the jab either so it's the right thing in my eyes!
Love that meme from the old bus, have saved 😁

@Minster2012 haha love that I made the tannoy 😂 and also loving the memes.

@notyetamumbuttrying yep the only definitive way to diagnose it is via a lap, so I had to push and push. Loads of internal scans had to be done first, they said it was cysts, they came and went and the pain remained so yeah! Keep fighting them, my advice is to go armed with the info to your gp because a lot of them aren't informed about endo at all. There's an amazing group if you are on Facebook called Endometriosis Guidance and information resource, it is amazing just request to join. If it wasn't for the lady who runs it I would never have known about the specialist centers. Xx

Oh also forgot to mention - got a reply from the HR team re the interview and telling them I was preggers - a very positive no worries, really appreciate you letting us know though with a smiley face! So onwards to Thursdays interview and scan day, woah busy day!!!

@Kirky658 aww that’s great news on the interview front and scan on the same day too!! Hopefully it is a very fruitful day

Awesome @kirky658 😁 good luck!

Here i am. Also falling with OH in FW hopefully he'll get his act together and apologise before OV Day on Friday.
@Florence13 its my birthday tmora too. Red and Chinese for me. Can't believe I'll be 43!!!

YAY FOR NEW BUS!!!
Hello passengers, thank you driver!!

@Kirky658 thanks for all the info on endo, I think that is what they are thinking/ looking at with me, will try and remember that fb group!
Fantastic news on the interview!!!

@Dollybird89 you are motivational!! Don't matter where you're starting from, getting up, out and at em is ALWAYS fantastic! 🥰

@florence13 @dollybird89 thanks lovelies ❤️

@blackcurrantqueen you are welcome hun! If I can help someone get a diagnosis and suffer less than I did its always a winner. Message with questions anytime x

@Kirky658 thanks so much! Will join it! Cysts didn't show on my scan before, just one small fibroid but was told it shouldn't cause me any pain or discomfort so I'm ready to argue with them lol! X
Ah great news on the work front hun, that must set your mind at ease, pleased for you x

@Minster2012 I forgot to say yday - you know the friend of a friend who just did her 4th round on IVF with her final two embryos? She got her BFP on Monday! She's been trying for 5 years and this is her first ever BFP. So happy for her - fx they stick !

@Juno231 ahh that's lovely news! Congratulations to your friend 💕

@Juno231 gosh that's lovely news for your friend 💕 definitely keep everything crossed for her - she certainly deserves it!!! Imagine if she has twins after 5 yrs of trying, what a blessing that would be 🤞🏻

@Minster2012 I gave in and POAS this morning and got a BFN. So wallowing a bit today

@notyetamumbuttrying @blackcurrantqueen I also have endo and mine started off with bad periods(always had to take reasonable pain relief from the start) and then developed in my twenties to being totally disabling. I would get excruciating periods to the point I couldn’t move from bed curled up in a ball with a hot water bottle. I thought it was normal for a while but then realised it wasn’t haha. Went to the dr in my mid/late twenties and she suspected immediately. Got worse so working was so hard and I had excruciating pain all the time, not just periods, and got referred to a gynaecologist (he was crap and didn’t give the best treatment) and it was diagnosed via laperoscopy. I was then much better for a year or so, but as it was just lazered off rather than excised it came back far worse than before and I ended up having it excised by a better consultant a month before my wedding in June 2019! I was off work for about 9 months in total I think so it was awful. I now live with it and it is much better than before surgery but does flare up especially with periods. I have a very large cocktail of hardcore meds depending on the severity of pain . If you think you have it, best to get a gynae referral as they are the best placed to treat it- i have had all sorts of things to try! Most of the time a lap is the only way to confirm but interestingly I had some of mine spotted by mri in some muscle near the uterus? I only had that spotted because they were looking for adenomyosis( which thankfully I don’t have!). Had a mirena for that as it can’t be excised I don’t think but had that removed for TTC and it hasn’t got worse again. I am actually massively coming off pain meds which I am proud of as it is hard! Please no one suffer in silence!

Because of my BFN at 10dpo (and being awake since 4am) I am stupidly emotional today. Not the best day! Nice to read all the updates, sorry I’m not in the best place to reply to everything right now.

@Kirky658 that's such good news! Yayyyy double good for Thursday! All the luck!

@Juno231 OMG that's so good! 💓♥️🙌🏻what fab news, yes wonder if it's twins?! Do they get a blood test for HCG? Oooo such good news

@Billythecat oooooo noooooo that's not hood news but 10dpo that's still very early and we've had ladies who have gone from a negative at that point to a positive so you aren't out darling 😘don't lose all hope lovely

@DOB78 another birthday tomorrow!! Whoop whoop that's awesome more Chinese and wine yessssssss

@DOB78 aww yes birthday buddies!! I think it’s a great date for a birthday haha. I’m more of a white wine girl though

@Juno231 aww that is absolutely lovely news! Super happy for you friend.

@billythecat sending hugs lovely. 10dpo is still early, you never know. Keep smiling ❤️

Hello lovelies! Just dropping in to take my seat, will try and catch up later 😊

@ Florence13 I'll drink any wine but red is my favourite at the moment. Am I allowed to ask how old will you be or is that being cheeky?
Hoping for a birthday month BFP🙂🤞
Thanks Minster2012 best we can do this year.

Yo yo yiggidy yo.

Thanks for the new bus @Minster2012 🚌 I'd have done the same thing with the vaccine especially if you've got a bit of history of reactions, you need to be in tip top form.

@Florence13 well done on getting your dissertation in, such a relief isn't it and you get some of your life back.
On the opposite end of the scale, I got the result from my final dissertation today - just failed 😫 I knew on submission day it probably wasn't going to be good, just found out 3 weeks before i was heading for a MMC so my head was completely up my arse but we go again!

AF is almost here for me I'm sensing which I'm happy(ish) with seeing as my BFN at 14dpo was a week ago... this cycle has dragged its little bottom this time round.

@DOB78 I’ll be 28 ☺️ and yes a birthday month BFP would be fab but really not sure what my cycle will do after my loss.

@bez91 aww thank you but so sorry to hear about your result. I had a loss at 5 weeks and 3 days a few weeks ago so also wasn’t completely head in the game. However, can’t do anything more so just got to keep my fingers crossed.

Hi, just grabbing a seat, I don't know where to seat, I haven't really been tracking, cd 19, I think but getting symptoms really early for af, and thinking should I poas, not asking you guys, cos the answer is always yes
