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

@Sausage1990 I'm sending you a huge virtual hug and a big fuck off to progesterone! Female bodies are actual fuck boys! Is it af, is it pregnancy... who knows! Fingers, toes and eyes crossed for you lovely 🍀 xx

@lucyrp it's honestly so good!! So easy and I'm terrible for losing letters etc especially if they appear weeks before an appointment. I put them in a safe place and forget where 🙈 all on my phone is so much easier!! Lovely that you are getting so many positive responses 🥰

I've definitely missed something about a paper courtesan, aibu and posting on chips 🤔🤔 someone please explain 😂

@Franklydear your heat that water bottle up... Tbh that sounds so good I'm going to one for myself at bedtime. Especially as its arctic outside 🥶 @thinkingandblinking enjoy your bed retreat. Maybe a hot water bottle for you too. Lol.

@florence13 we're both in the let's-pretend-we're-not-symptom-spotting-although-we-100%-are phase of the TWW. But @minster2012 is right we've only got a few more days until we'll know either way. How many dpo are you @florence13? If af doesn't arrive I'll be testing Sunday at 12dpo. You?

@DOB78 thanks lovely. It's hard isn't it. So much freaking waiting. Remind me where you are in your cycle/journey? X

@gem176 yes exactly - who the fuck knows?! Also the app for your medical records sounds great - love that.

@Sausage1990 I'm with you I'm 7dpo maybe 8. I'm symptom spotting but everything I have usually means AF is on her wicked way. I'm not testing again unless late I just mentally can't do another test. I always start AF 13 dpo so if not here by Sunday Monday I'll test. Have even given the tests to hubby to hide.
Goodluck and really hope it happens for you and all the other ladies in the TWW XXX

@Gem176 there was an AIBU bitching about us last week

@Gem176 here you go

the Conception thread titles are spinning out of control again! http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/amiibeingunreasonable/4154473-the-Conception-thread-titles-are-spinning-out-of-control-again

We got some lovely newbies from it who (correctly) thought we sounded fun 😜

@Sausage1990 only cycle 3 so very early days but at 43 I don't feel like we have time on our side. We had a CP in December our 1st month of trying. I have 2 Daughters from my previous relationship aged 21 and 17 but OH doesn't have any children so I feel I bit under pressure to make it happen.
Right now I'm blaming pregnacare conception tablets for messing with cycle or I'm perimenopausal and now I'm rambling, sorry.
Testing Sunday with FRER I'll be 11dpo then and will just be glad to know either way 😌

@DJmum83 I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for you.. I know you don't feel confident anymore but I'm keeping everything crossed. Xx

@Minster2012 omg what a total fud!! I vote we use meaty periods in the title again just to totally piss her off 😂

@Sausage1990 the app is great! Don't know if it's just my health board or Scotland wide but it really should be U.K. wide as it's amazing!

Looks like Sunday is going to be a busy poas day ladies, excited and hopeful for you all!!

@Minster2012 I'm always listening 😅 just slow at joining in. I def vote for Bermuda triangles being incorporated into the new title 🙌.

@DJmum83 9dpo is early, you're not out just yet sweetie xxx

@dob78 I'm hopeful for you too... I'm 30 (soon to be 31) so the time pressure isn't there for us but indo understand the pressure. It may be pregnacare but it could be anxiety or stress. Before my BFP in August I had some crazy cycles and i thought it was due to pregnacare but it actually was my anxiety levels. It really cocked it up but once I was in a better headspace it all settled. I put so much pressure on myself in those 1st few cycles. It's worth keeping in mind xx

@Minster2012 definitely! That's the plan! Need to ask about my luteal phase and Zika virus in Mexico!

So think I might've ovulated today (cd19 so super late😩fingers crossed this cycle is like 32 days long and I don't have a short luteal phase, my cycles seem to be between 30-34 days anyway so all's good) had cramps and ewcm today, weve DTD Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and tonight, so deffo covered, used conceive plus every time too so hopefully that's the lucky charm for me this time🤞🏼

@Sausage1990 thankyou. I've got a week of pregnacare left then I'm stopping them. Also gonna start meditation again use Insight Timer if free and there's a fertility one I was listening to that when I got my BFP.
I really hope this is a good weekend for us all 🤞🤞🤞

Right can't see more do will sort new bus tomorrow ladies 🥰

Night night everyone.

@Juno231 fertility friend has me at 7dpo so defo early still we will see. Have my fingers crossed for us all.

@Minster2012 have a good sleep bus driver xxx

Thank god for this bus. Keeps me sane.
Xxx

@Kirky658 weekends away are good. We were meant to have one later this month. Grrr. But hopefully we can reschedule.
I can't believe no one else has suffered the head torch?
@Minster2012 I'm not sure why they wash it? Was news to me. But it doesn't need washing for IVF. Yes I think if it doesn't work we can go for IVF but it's only 1 round on the nhs for my ccg.
A cave? I can't believe she said that! 😱

Loving the title suggestions! Maybe I should have queried the Bermuda triangle issue at my appointment. 🤣

@lucyrp awww that must feel really lovely. ☺
@Sausage1990 some months i hey no symptoms and some months loads. Drives me bonkers.
@Vil10 I had to fill in a form for zika and ebola before my fertility appointment. You had to put where you have been and when I'm the last 2 years. Doesn't affect me though, been bloody nowhere. 🙄

@lucyrp yayyyy!!! Exciting. We can't wait to announce to everyone, trying to decide how to go about it. More than anyone else we can't wait to tell my auntie and uncle. They were not able to have kids after 6 rounds of IVF and love kids so they're gonna be so so so excited!

@DJmum83 thank you lovely 🥰

@paintfairy yes was a lot bigger response than we expected 😂🙈

@Kirky658 I just did the the original thing of a personalised baby vest, some little knitted booties, the scan pic and a lovely milestone card my friend bought me saying "we're having a baby" and all I put as the caption was "We've waited a long time for you🤍"

@Sausage1990 I’m pretty sure I’m enough dpo to do a test but didn’t track this cycle so not 100% sure where I am. Basically just sitting in the corner freaking out at present.

@lucyrp aww that sounds like a lovely announcement

Awwww @lucyrp that announcement brought a little tear to my eye 🥰

@Vil10 another cycle buddy then, I got my static smiley today and LH steadily climbing so will hopefully just be a day or two behind you!

@Minster2012 yes I see what you mean about adding AIBU to the title 😂 but definitely up for a lake spermo in there somewhere.

@DOB78 I’m rooting for you, here’s hoping for an extra special Valentines Day!

@Florence13 how many DPO do you think you are? I feel like I want to wait until af due as I would rather not know if I have a CP but on the other hand I have so many sticks to pee on...

@Florence13 @Haiyaa aww thanks girls 🥰 I'm so emotional thos morning. I've wanted to announce for ages but now we have I feel a little bit sad its not just our little secret anymore 🥺🙈 can you tell my hormones are all over the place

Morning ladies just popping on to say hi and scroll thru a million page catch up while waiting for work to open. I left early this morn because of the snow but the roads were dead so arrived at work extra early and now sitting freezing in the car park waiting for it to open ☃️

@Minster2012 another mortgage 😂 I like the second to last one, probably best to leave the OP out haha.

@Sausage1990 progesterone sucks :(

@lucyrp aww I bet. How did you do it?

@DKDK123 hope you get let in soon! Brrr

@lucyrp beautiful and perfect ❤️😍

@Justanothercyster the caption just said "we've waited a long time for you🤍" I didn't want to write loads and wanted it be simple. I hope people got from it what they wanted if that makes sense. But needing lots of cuddles from DS to cheer me up this morning 😂🥺
