Ice Skating Lake Spermo on our AIBU chip-piss-sticks TTC Bus 32

[Minster2012]

Are we sitting comfortably MN?? Clutching them pearls tightly?? Are we being reasonable?? I doubt it!

Good, cos we’ve CUM TO PISS ON YOUR CHIPS...oops sorry, our Piss sticks, and use pearls in our ass...well, it’s a special occasion right??? ❤️🥰🎁💌

We’ve got the fastest TTC 🚌in the UK & we talk like it’s a WhatsApp group so be prepared...but don’t worry cos long as you pop in and out & say hello once in a while you can sit on top, we’ve got room for you to chill out if TTC gets too much.

We thought we might make it to Valentine’s Day ♥️💓 but FOR THE THIRD TIME no!

If you want to talk most things other than TTC we are the right bus, tv, (married at first sight Australia what the hell?!) & pissing off the rest of Mumsnet.

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 and we are now OWED BIG.

Valentine’s Day Menu....

• Some Ladies ordered new undies 🙌🏻
• Some Ladies ordered sticks to piss on 🤞🏻
• Some Ladies ordered no undies 👌🏻
• Some Ladies ordered wine & chocolate 🍷
• The bus driver ordered BFPs all round

Whatever we all get for Valentines, we’ll be here for support ❤️🥰😍

And if you see mention of my blog then blame these guys they made me do it...#shamelessplug

@Kirky658 that meme is brilliant 😂

@Sausage1990 aww thank you for being so lovely and supportive. Thing is I was coping but now I’m getting to the point of taking a test it’s like something in me has developed an overwhelming fear.

@Haiyaa yasss to peak! Lucky DH! Get as much as you can🍆 according to flo my af is due the 22nd, but I've started taking pregnacare this cycle and I think it's messed them up because I'm CD20 today and could've ovulated yesterday as had pains and ewcm but still go pains today too? So it's a late ov, I think I might take an opk later on and see what it says!

@Sausage1990 sorry to hear about the bfn! But like you say it's far too early so 🤞🏼

@Ronnii sorry for the bfn! But you're not out yet!!

@Kirky658 hahahaha brilliant😂

So 3 hours after my scan on Monday I got a text from my gp surgery to say make a face to face app with my dr for 2 weeks time, so presumed it was a routine message because they'd have known it was my scan that day so just an appointment to discuss my results, booked my app today for next Thursday, but now I'm worrying because the receptionist said it was to discuss my scan, and at the minute they aren't really doing face to face apps, so I'm worried because why would they need to discuss my results face to face😩

@Minster2012 6 week cycles. This is my first cycle on clomid and all the way through symptoms have been so different 😅 waiting blood test if I've ovulated.

@Minster2012 I think I do a test when they arrive from good old Amazon. I’d convinced myself I was pregnant last month, took the test, BFN, then AF came. Is it possible to psychology keep AF away??

@vil10 I know it is easy to say but try not to worry. I am sure if it was anything really concerning they'd have you in this week. Try not to Google as well it never helps!

@vil10 if it was anything to worry about they wouldn't have you hanging for 2 weeks! When I had bad news with my pap smear a few years back I had literally 3 different people phoning me from the GP practice to make sure I knew and I got multiple letters with URGENT and highlighters all over them.

@Vil10 yes hun what everyone else is saying if it was anything urgent I’m sure they wouldn’t be waiting two weeks to tell you.

@Minster2012 Hahaha thats exactly what it feels like, its so strange

@minster2012 @vil10 yes it's way too early - I'm definitely just getting the poas thing out of my system. I did not expect any other result. I did it because I knew it would not be negative. I just needed to see it. It helped actually lower my anxiety a bit tbh. I've not had a TWW since july/Aug so it just felt really big. So now it's out of my system and I feel like I can wait more patient for Sunday. 👍🏻

@florence13 I get that fear. I had that the other day just like holy shit I'm terrified. If I could be physically with you and stand outside the bathroom door for support I would totally be there. Whenever you're ready to do it then know we're all here holding your hand virtually 💕

I did it because I know it would be negative*

@Minster2012 I'm still here! Fertile week so we're getting on it!

Oh bastard @Tornado2Inc all chicken & no egg eh?! Keep laughing, maybe you'll pop it out! Are you using IC OPKs or CBS?

@Florence13 it's good to admit out loud, we are here, what can we do to help lovely?

@Vil10 it's good to talk about the results but def they would see you sooner if any issues I highly doubt there's anything, like others said it would be much sooner, this way you get to ask things.

@Ronnii ooo so what's meant to be different then with the clomid? When do you get your results do you think? So was it meant to regulate them? Exciting! 🤞🏻

@pixienewbie hmmmm we all want to wish AF away so I bloody hope so!! Let's try! Think realllllllyyyyy hard 🙌🏻

@Sausage1990 makes absolute sense!

@Tabbycat92 cat on the prowl for sex! 🍆🙌🏻

It's snowing here again. A lot. FFS

Those memes are hilarious, so obviously I went down a Google rabbit hole... 😂

@Vil10 if it was urgent then they would fit you in sooner, they probably want to just go through everything face to face as it is a sensitive discussion. I’ve heard a lot about Pregnacare messing up cycles. I took them last time I was pregnant but opted for Seven Seas this time. Get pissing on those sticks! I’ll be sad for those few days where I don’t have to necessarily piss on anything 😂 will continue with the OPKs for a couple of days as that’s what femometer is telling me but then the wait begins! Looks like @larrythelizard and @Tabbycat92 will be buddying up with us!

Sorry to hear you are feeling anxious @Florence13, maybe a good idea to hold off for now? Take your time and do it when you are ready, we’ll all be here whatever the outcome 💕

Here ! Haven't caught up yet tho x

@paintfairy I don't know tbh. I just know laps diagnose it. I had a TV scan and that didn't pick it up and I'm pretty convinced I have it. I have all the classic signs, painful sex during and after, painful periods, spotting in between cycles (although that's new for me). Weird why they don't pursue things, you have to tell them what you think it is these days and just be pushy. Endo shouldn't stop iui from working. It depends how much n where it is. I know they don't like to do laps when going through fertility treatment as pregnancy stops endo from happening. Defo mention tho and see what advice they give and pls report bk.
@Juno231 haha good girl! I'm quite excited now, have Friday off too so might start then 🤭 ooh don't know what that is, will have a google...anything free sounds good to me!
@Minster2012 the reference from the last meme was lock up your ariel's. It's a streets song lol!
@Haiyaa lol good meme find! 🤣
@Vil10 what the others said honey, please don't worry xx

@Sausage1990 thank you 💕💕

@Minster2012 clomid is meant to stimulate ovulation and maybe bring my cycles to a 'normal' length. Progesterone results tomorrow, tho I will ring today aswel lol ☺️

Anyone use the Premom app?

Ovulation is on its way (EWCM and BBT says so as well as flashy face on ClearBlue OPK) but why does the Premom app still say low?

This is the strongest OPK I've had this cycle...

Hi all I found you after the AIBU thread can I join please?!
I’m 35 and TTC #1 - currently in 2WW and it’s driving me mad! I am having IVF with ISCI and had a day 5 embryo transferred on 4th Feb, clinic gave me an official test date of 15 Feb and I have no idea how to wait that long. Have ordered a box of tests off Amazon which arrive tomorrow and think I will test on Friday using FMU, I’ll be 8 days post 5 day transfer then which is like 13-14 days DPO.

Bollocks forgot the pic!

@minster2012 I’m using something that looks like Game Boy. CB monitor that I’ve carried over from my TTC no1. So was happy to see that my top up sticks had not been discontinued in the meantime!

@Vil10 I am pretty sure discussing results face to face is a standard procedure, especially when it’s not “Yes” or “No” kinda situation; they want to make sure everything is clear and understood. Plus, 100% agreed with what others said.

So I did have cramping yesterday and the day before (which was my expected ovulation time), but no peak. Tried IC OPKs as well, but nothing. I do have fairly short cycles normally (26-28 or so), so am wondering if I had missed it. Clue says tomorrow, Ovia says yesterday. Believe it or not, for a POAS addict, I have never, EVER checked my CM. Tried ages ago, then realised I can’t see a thing in it and just end up with a handful of goo every time.
Hoping I’m covered as we did sexy time every 2-3 days since AF left the building. Will add to Lake Spermo tonight as well.

@Gensola welcome. Wow fingers crossed for you

@larrythelizard I don’t think you are quite there yet, you need your static smiley and the test line needs to be darker than the control on LH test. Here is my pic from today. Maybe try to limit your water for a few hours and do another test then?

I like this lake spermo description, we've been dtd every 2 days and calling it 'lining the tubes' 😂🙈
