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

Sounds very sweet @lucyrp nice one 😍

@DKDK123 ha ha would be the way wouldn't it!! It's lethal here today, a full day of snow yesterday then freezing overnight means today is the worst day. I'm not going ANYWHERE 🤣 my eye still hurts but thankfully period cramps easing so maybe today might be the last full flow. My dog walking friend coming down the road with her pointer so ours will go dappy together in a field with us not having to walk far (win for us today!) but it's lovely & sunny though

@lucyrp I think a lot of ppl feel like that when they say it but hopefully you felt the love too from your friends & family xxx

@Florence13 you'll know if/when you want to test

@Juno231 good good hope you are still feeling positive

@Kirky658 how you feeling after your slip?

@paintfairy no idea on the washing but whatever to help right??

New bus ready & waiting ish.

@Franklydear how you feeling darling? Xx

@minster2012 I'm fine hun, thanks for asking. Just feel a bit silly!

Aww @lucyrp that sounds lovely.

So no symptom spotting we say 😂 feeling really nauseous today and crampy but that could be AF as I felt that way last month, so not reading too much in to it (she says)

@Juno231 how are you doing? How many dpo are you and how's your chart looking.

The other Valentine testers there's a few of us how are we doing? Any symptoms?

So hubby said he really wants us to have a drink together Saturday night for Valentine's ( I haven't had a drink since last August) if I test Saturday and it's negative do you think I should be ok to have a drink? I'll be 11/12 dpo by then.

Xx

@Kirky658 glad your feeling ok today.

@Minster2012 so jealous we have had no snow at all. I love snow especially when I'm not working.
Have a lovely walk with the doggies.
We had another update on our Ollie he is doing great and they are loving him so feeling better and know we made the right decision xxx

@Minster2012 you are always driver 💕
I'm just a goody two shoes hahaha
'Brrr! Ice Skating lake spermo on our AIBU chipsticks? Let it snow!'
😂

Where is everyone in their cycles ?
CD7 today!
Gonna try the SMEP and BD on CD 8/10/12/14/16/17/18/20 IF OV falls right.
Apps predicting ov CD16 but I know my body has no firm favourites! Some days it's been CD13.
Looking back though my LP is always 12 days?
Anyone want to join me in the TWW this month and staying away from the chipsticks 😂

OMG @blackcurrantqueen I actually love that one I might use that??? Is that bad to just go for the one I love the most???

@DJmum83 even if you are pregnant drinking is fine early. Honestly please don't beat yourself up. Obviously we all want you to be pregnant anyway!! I usually love the snow too but this far away from the weekend when we can enjoy it together I'm just feeling mehhhhh

@Kirky658 good, you be careful!! I will fall over for you!

@paintfairy hahaha well I suppose it saved all the faffing of filling it out!! To be honest I don't think we'll be going anywhere in June because I'd just rather know!

@Haiyaa cycle buddy!! When's af due?

@lucyrp must be lovely knowing so many people are happy for you!!

@blackcurrantqueen that definitely sounds like a good plan, and you'll have it all covered🤞🏼 I think I'm 1dpo today but not even sure, af arrived me on the 22nd and we DTD 24th, 26th, 27th, 29th, 30th, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th, 9th, so hopefully I'll have it covered if I ov'd earlier! According to flo af is due the 22nd which will still give me a luteal phase of 12, but if I spot 2 days before then it'll be 10 which isn't good😩

@blackcurrantqueen I keep meaning to ask someone- why do we call them chipsticks now? 🤣
We've tried smep. Not sure anything would work for us. But I know it's seemed to for others, so worth a try? It isn't enjoyable though. 🙈
@Minster2012 I think washing is a strange term. It more means picking out the good stuff to use and removing it from the fluid. I'm sure she mentioned something about giving it something else (sugars etc) to wake it up. 🤣 God knows. 🤣🤣🤣

@paintfairy give up sugar?? Jesus my husband SURVIVES on sugar 😱😱😱the chipsticks is cos the lady who made the AIBU thread about us said "I hate to piss on anyone's chips but the conception titles are getting out of hand" and we are like "we don't piss on chips love, we piss on sticks"

@blackcurrantqueen love that title! @Minster2012 it's a yes from me on that one!! 😄

@Minster2012 ah! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
And mine needs to sugar it seems. Or just feed it to his sperm......😳

Hi @Minster2012 I am ok, sleeping lots for a change, so catching up on my commute
Did I miss the new thread

Oh @paintfairy GIVING it sugars??!! Maybe I won't say that then! He'd say "mine are rocket fuelled" 🙄 they get sugars and we get hormones?? I mean this gets better doesn't it 🤨

A bit early for the memes but this one is so us

@paintfairy I thought they did wash it normally for IVF too? They do sooo many things as part of IVF that it's a bit crazy the amount of stuff they can tweak and address. The friend with the last two embryos implanted had the full gambit of protocol stuff chucked at her, even if they had no reason to think it would work - just in case it did.

You know what always blows my mind? The words "assisted hatching". Doctors 100 years ago would faint I think.

@DJmum83 most ladies end up drinking in early pregnancy cause they have no clue they're pregnant and the babies are fine! I think it matters more once you get to weeks 7/8 and the placenta is formed, before then the baby takes nourishment from the yolk and not straight from your blood stream.

I'm 10 DPO but so not optimistic. Temps are just zigzagging now and RHR hasn't gone up either. Will attach chart in a sec.

@DJmum83

@franklydear that is so true ❤️

@Franklydear love it!

Fits quite neatly this one!

Ice Skating Lake Spermo on our AIBU chip-piss-sticks TTC Bus 32 www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/4161390-ice-skating-lake-spermo-on-our-aibu-chip-piss-sticks-ttc-bus-32

Some memes to fill up the bus...any drum and bass fans get the reference?!

Chart looks good @Juno231 keep positive it's hard isn't it. I was gutted yesterday with my BFN and have a feeling AF will show by Friday Saturday going by the cramps.
But we will see. Positive thoughts xxx

@DJmum83 fingers crossed the witch stays away from both of us xx (but I am dying for some wine on Sat!!) @notyetamumbuttrying I've done 39 dry days this year so far and my app tells me that's saved me 10k calories!!

@Juno231 well done! I'm similar I think as had my last drink on the 2nd Jan. Defo drinking on Sat tho for DH bday! We've got champagne to pop in the fridge tomorrow so that it is nice and chilled, can't wait! Do you reckon you'll crack on Sat? 10k calories, wowza! I dread to think how much fatter I would have been then lol! My weight loss has been going very slowly...

@notyetamumbuttrying lock up your Disney princesses??? Ehhhhhhh
@Disneymad85 might get worried!!
