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 can't believe I crossposted you and completely missed your update! That sounds brilliant tbh and I'm impressed they're going for three rounds of IUI - not heard of that on the NHS yet actually. Any chat about timelines at all? Would you have to apply for funding for the IUIs?

Can I just say I’m with all the peps fed up with lockdown. My husbby has decided to sand the kitchen table in the kitchen...the dustbin lids are whipped up with the snow...I’m trying to work while slowly loosing it....and 9dpo...bfn (I know too early)....I think I need wine, is 4pm too early...asking for a friend! 🤯😤

@Kirky658 the worry never ends...baby is probably chilling out in there while you stress! Defo good excuse not to run!

@paintfairy aww so glad all went well and things seem to be moving forward. Hope the next steps go smoothly for you.

@Thinkingandblinking sorry to hear your having a tough day and that you got a bfn but like you say still super early. I personally don’t think it’s ever to early for wine, I mean it’s always 5 o’clock somewhere right?

@notyetamumbuttrying yeah I feel good. I was worried it might be disappointing having read some other people's experiences. Or that appointments would be dragged out as it were. So I'm glad something is happening soon. I'm keen to have the scan and tube check as I really want to know if there is an issue or not.
@Juno231 she said up to 3, so I'm not sure how they decide on that and its one by one? Yes she mentioned funding. Didn't say a time but seemed to indicate the whole thing will hopefully be sorted and on the right track in a few months. So i guess not that long? I really know the funding process though? She did say some people choose to wait after the tube thing and before iui to see if it happens naturally though, and that wouldn't really be needed if funding took several months? I can ask questions by email at any point. But I'll write a list for when I go on 1st March. I imagine they'd go over it though more then if it was looking like the direction we were heading in.
It'll be interesting to see how yours goes! Looking forward to hearing.

@Minster2012 hahaha not ruddy likely with mine, berries and veg are the only thing he'll have hahaha. Tried to get him to eat Brazil nut a day and he was like "f* off" 😂

@Florence13 oh no what happened with yours?
Haha I said to her that it didn't feel like a smear test but like a fertility apt. When I left she said "2021 will be our year hun" 🥰

@paintfairy Thats amazing! All positive and moving forward for you 🤞🏼🤞🏼 how does your oh feel?

@Kirky658 im sure everything is fine but I hope you're ok x

@Thinkingandblinking Never too early! Hugs x

Also, can't believe we made another bus and still didn't make it to v- day 😂

4pm never too early @Thinkingandblinking just popping on to say & whoever asked about my eye it's not great but hoping it's bad before good 🤣🤣

I shall be channelling all the wine tonight too. Maybe gin.
Maybe both

So many Choices 🤣

@Kirky658 it's like a stab/electric shock pain, really uncomfortable but as long as it disappears quickly and it's not a cramp pain I'm trying to be calm about it. It's also not with every cough/sneeze/roll/stretch so 🤞🏻 definitely a great excuse to get out of running 🤣

@Minster2012 have several for those of us that can't 🥂🍾🍷🍸

@gem176 that was what the pain was like earlier, really shocked me, turned round and hobbled home. Am fine now after sitting relaxing. DH now says I am not allowed outside on my own when it's icy 🤣🙄

@paintfairy yeah I can imagine. Glad you're feeling good about it. Gives others hope that not all appointments are disastrous 😆
@Minster2012 read your recent blog today, love your glittery shoes 🤩 hope your eye improves!
@Kirky658 oh no did you fall? Sorry been crap with keeping up to date today/last night. Glad you're ok now x

@notyetamumbuttrying just a typical me drama hun, slipped on ice while walking the dog at lunchtime, jarred my stomach trying to hold myself upright!

@Justanothercyster the nurse was so not interested in anything I had to say. Got annoyed at me for the fact I hadn’t changed my address so the one she had was wrong for the results. And the proceeded to just shove the speculum up there in a very rough manner asking if I had children... at which point I was like no and she just said oh ok. 🙈

@Kirky658 aw you poor thing! Glad you're alright xx

@Minster2012 treat yourself to both, I mean I would 😂

@notyetamumbuttrying yeah I thought that. Because lots of people have had negative experiences and I really wasn't expecting anything useful from it.
@Justanothercyster I asked if he felt better after it. He said no he feels the same. 🤣 I've quizzed him though and it seems his issue is having to have intervention. And he'd prefer it to happen naturally. I pointed out that so would everyone, I'm sure? I think he just doesn't want to tell people. He said he's surprised it doesn't bother me and I said I think maybe women just are more not bothered? We know it's common? So it's nothing to really feel ashamed about. I suppose men just don't really talk about things like we do and feel failures somehow?

@Justanothercyster so glad your smear experience was so positive!! 💕

@paintfairy that all sounds good, it's nice to have plans and it sounds like you've got some to work towards now? 🤞🏼 hopefully DH will process it all in his own time xx

@Kirky658 glad you are okay! What a scare for you, relaxing on the sofa sounds the best medicine! Maybe get DH to wait on you for the evening? 🥰

@Florence13 your smear nurse sounds a right meanie!!

@Kirky658 sorry to read about your fall. I hope you are not too sore tomorrow. I'm sure your baby will be fine but I'm glad you were able to speak to the midwife.
@Gem176 it'll be rubbish if DH can't come. Would he come and wait outside in the car? At least he's nearby then.
@Justanothercyster 🤣 This bus was never going to make valentines day either.
@Florence13 God, she sounds lovely. Did she have a head torch though? Mine did and that really threw me. 😳

Wow,that was a mammoth catch up, nite to self, don't read @Minster2012 blog on the bus, look a right weirdo trying not to cry, thank fuck for the mask.... I feel more human and hardly any nausea today, bleeding more heavily than in previous month's, so I guess that's a positive

@blackcurrantqueen she really was.

@paintfairy a head torch 😲 nope luckily she didn’t do that otherwise I think I would have ran out of there and rebooked.

@Franklydear glad you are feeling more human today hun.

@Justanothercyster I read your post about 3 times and kept seeing/reading "berries and VAG are the only things he'll have" 🙈 I struggle getting DH to have anything. His excuse is that there isn't a problem with him because he keeps getting me pregnant, we just can't maintain a pregnancy 🙄 sick of the biology lessons with him 😆

@Minster2012 go for it 🥂

@Justanothercyster to be honest I think I was just praying for a miracle taking different folic acids😂

@paintfairy that sounds really positive🤞🏼

@Kirky658 hope you're okay x

@blackcurrantqueen @paintfairy @vil10 thanks ladies, I will be fine, DH waiting on me so something nice came of it haha. No pains or anything so hoping I got away with it.
