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 Yep, got myself a nice bucket of ICs 🤣
I only do G&T if it's over +20C outside; some things are sacred. Winter is my bloody Merry time (no pun intended)!

Ooo @Juno231 yes we could run a book for @lucyrp but I think most ppl who nag be experienced at looking at these things (other than just crying at scan pics like us!) are saying girl 🤷‍♀️

@notyetamumbuttrying sorry for bloody AF. God damn and a Monday too. But hopefully like me over for valentines??? And 2 weeks today! Yayyyy

@paintfairy is it just phone not video? I think allll men just sit & not say anything. Mine certainly does. In fact we've had that many on the last one he started to slyly read the paper to the side of the screen & I was bloody kicking him under the table FFS. We are all awkward but it will be fine, way better than going in xxx

@Tornado2Inc bloody hell we'd never drink gin then???

@Vil10 glad everything went well and appears normal for you hun, just got to keep bonking and hopefully you’ll be posting your BFP soon.

@DJmum83 I can also see a faint line on that picture keeping everything crossed for you.

@notyetamumbuttrying sorry to hear about AF but great news it’s only two weeks until your appointment.

@lucyrp aww your scan pic definitely has my ovaries twitching!

@Juno231 how many dpo are you now? You can do it!! Stay strong.

@Katao aww that's so sweet! I feel bad for getting your hopes up now 😆 it's a sign of endo sadly so I'm glad I didn't get my hopes up. I may have done for about 5 minutes then had a word with myself 😂 yeah two weeks isn't that long at all now! Let's just hope it doesn't bloody get cancelled now 🙄🤣 how are you doing? X
@Minster2012 hope you've had fun in the snow ⛄️ yeah it'll be over on Friday so in time for Dh's bday on Saturday! Although I always spot cd6!! Finally getting closer isn't it 😃
@Vil10 what's happening with you lovely? I don't think I've scrolled bk far enough and need to leg it bk to work now. Hope you're alright?! X
@paintfairy is your call this afternoon? X
@Florence13 thanks darlin. Hope you're well today 😊

@paintfairy the other thread on first appointments were pretty consistent on questions asked so maybe read through it again and prep OH? Pretty sure it's confirming length of cycle, period, when you think you ovulate, how much you DTD, smoke, alcohol etc. and then just outlining what the next steps are.

Put yourselves on loud speaker or use a laptop for the link so you can both be in the video?

@Minster2012 its like a video link they send to your phone i think? Just hoping it works. I just asked him and he said yeah he'll say nothing unless he has to. And he'll find it awkward. I said- do you not think I will? He agreed though that he'd prefer a woman. Which surprised me. He said - like I want to be talking to a bloke about sex. 🤣

@Juno231 I had to fill all that out on a form though and send that already?

@paintfairy yeah I reckon you'll just talk through it 😅

Just gonna put this pic here...

I've just realised I probably sounded like we have shower sex loads, what I meant was I just like to shower loads, not the sex 😂 we do it sometimes but mainly on holiday.

@DJmum83 I see something vvvvvvvv faint there 🤞🏼

@lucyrp awwww bubby! Very sweet x

@Juno231 that pic 😂😂😂

@juno231 I'm dying at that pic! 🤣🤣🤣

Still no af for me. Got terrible indigestion atm damit. Super tired.. but that's because I stayed up to watch the Super bowl lol
I'm tempted to poas but after a 90+ day cycle so far I'm doubtful

@notyetamumbuttrying shame on you getting my hopes up 😂 ah I can't help hoping for all us girls awaiting appointments thst we will miraculously not need them 🤞 I'm good. I have my head in the sand and ignoring the tww so a lot less stressed which is nice. I often spot too, not good. I'm trying not to self diagnose but endo was mentioned when I struggled to conceive my first so it's in the back of my mind that that might be my issue.

@notyetamumbuttrying tomorrow
@Juno231 yeah I can't see them really having much to say. Other than what they might do next. Can't see it being a long call or anything!
And I love the orangutan!

@Juno231 just spotted your pic 😂😂😂😀 that's valentine's summed up for us 😂🙈💖

Ha so my OH has always been trim - uni sports, army fitness and all that but has a tendency to somehow stand like that orangutan?? Or the body shape of Donald Duck maybe - bum out and tummy out. Always cracks me up.

@Katao haha 😛 it's nice to not be stressed and much better to just go with the flow. Do you get painful periods and pain after or during sex? U could always see if you can get a lap to diagnose?
@paintfairy not long then, that's great! It's always nervy when you don't know what to expect but I'm sure it'll flow nicely. Best of luck 🤞🏾
@Juno231 funny you sent that, my friend just sent it to me too. U must follow the same insta page 😂

@Juno231 did I miss a pic that went before the orangutan??? My DH often tells me to put my back straight and shoulders out, maybe you need to do that!! Is he as hairy as a orangutan?

@paintfairy I think you'll just talk through all the info again then talk through the process

@Dollybird89 what did I say a few pages ago when you said back ache & bad attitude?? I said PMS or pregnant so you could POAS. I can send you FRER. I mean I've got twelfty million lying around I'm not gonna use 🤣

@Katao that would be soooooo amazing

I'm making soup now and watching celebs go dating. About to do my high school musical workout then drink coffee

Also who was it that said about kintsugi???

And who said about my face on my Instagram?? I've just put my squinty eye no make up shit glasses face on my story on Instagram with a message for you bitches
I hope it isn't insensitive as it's got X on it and there's a few of you due this week

I mean it with the love that's come back more way as yet more cards & chocolate & beautiful things come through my door
I love you all ❤️🥰

Omg I didn't click into the pic @Juno231 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂

@minster2012 i still have 1 left I think but thanks x I seem to think that if I don't poas it's still a possibility but if I get a bfn it will put me down in the dumps again.

@djmum83 if it came up within the time frame it can't have been an evap. Remember a lot of women don't actually know about CPs so when they see a faint line that doesn't get darker or there one day and none the next they automatically start claiming the tests give evaps or false positives. If there's colour in the line and it came up in the time frame it's definitely not an evap. Keeping absolutely everything crossed for you that it progresses over the next few days 🤞🤞🤞

Ahhhh @lucyrp you're making my ovaries hurt (hopefully that'll make them finally shoot an egg out and get my cycle on track). So glad to hear all is good with bubs 🥰

Thanks so much ladies 🥰🥰🥰 too many people to reply too but thanks everyone 🥰feeling the love today

Totally understand that @Dollybird89 just go with how you feel and at the minute if you are feeling really positive about yourself and everything then stick with it darling 😘💪🏻you are doing amazing

@notyetamumbuttrying i have a lot of the symptoms of endo so that's why it was suggested before but then I did actually fall pregnant before any investigation. I'm going to discuss it at the appointment in march. Luckily no pain with sex but I find internals so painful!

Thank you everybody will try my hardest to hold out until Wednesday and see what happens.

Xxx

@katao hate to say it but in my experience you have to self diagnose endo as even with the recent press surrounding it so many GPS dismiss you as a bad period and leave you to it! 😕

Just had my booking appt! Over an hour on the phone. Upshot is that as my mum and DH's mum had pre eclampsia I will be taking aspirin from 12 weeks onwards. And as my mum and dad have diabetes I will be regularly tested for that too. Have my bloods next Monday, and my 12 week scan 3rd March when I'll be 11+3. Sounds daft a bit nervous it isn't after 12 weeks 🤣
