Yoga slurping & keep fit POASticking - TTC unconventionally BUS 33

[Minster2012]

So our valentines treats did the trick & we’ve got some BFPs for February...HORRAY!! 🥳♥️😘

We’ve picked up some newbies who come armed with a flesh light for horses, 🐴a penchant for McSteamy & 2 extra Sausages 🐶🍆for us to add to our rowdy bus.

If all else fails we can send our dogs round the country...stud them to each other cos they don’t understand social distancing and get a hella cute bus loads of pups instead, they can then teach us how to do it!

Grab your popcorn for Married for at First Sight, your briefcase for the horse spunk & make your decision on whether you are McSteamy or McDreamy...🩺

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 are 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.

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

@DJmum83 sorry to hear about your auntie still that's terrible! And poor DD. do you know what it was?
Sorry you're feeling sick, though a good sign those hormones are doing their job!!

@Vil10 @Justanothercyster I'm 3DPO and already trying not to symptom spot 😂😂😂 send help. Going to be a long few days!!
My last BFP though I had really itchy nipples @Vil10 !🤞🏼🤞🏼

@Amy00 boo for the BFN! It sounds like you've had a rough old ride! Lots of women seem to do ok with progesterone so let's hope you will be one of those ! Did they mention aspirin at all?
I have had 3 early MC currently awaiting a recurrent MC clinic appt! Xx

Morning ladies!!!! Xxx

@Franklydear yes I did manage to get off to sleep thankfully. Its been manic because there's so many people using up annual leave etc so alot of cover. So many of my colleagues havent been able to take their leave properly because of covid pressures (I work for the NHS as a dietitian for those who don't know) so our bosses have encouraged everyone to take their leave before the end of the financial year (our leave runs in line with that) so it's just a busy period, covering etc. Hopefully it won't be a long term thing.

@justanothercyster I'll message you so you can add me. I havnt worked out who you are haha!!! I feel you with the anxiety, my sisters a teacher and its not easy. I take my hat off to you all. Not easy, especially in this climate 💐

@notyetamumbuttrying yes thanks I managed to get to sleep and I just woke up at 10.30am so it's all worked out OK. The 1 perk of not having kids yet - i can have a lie in ☺️

@Franklydear oh I love the avengers... I'm a big fan of the Chris' (Hemsworth, Evans & Pratt) so I'm big fans of Thor, Steve Rogers & Peter Quill. Delicious!!! How about you??

Oh lads my post IVF period has arrived. It is not a good scene!! Terrible cramps and back pain. We were planning a 7 mile walk but I think I might sit this one out on the sofa.

@Sausage1990 i find Loki irresistible otherwise I'll take Rogers, funny enough I don't find Tom hiddleston that attractive out of character, luckily Evans looks just the same
@Amy00 what crazy times we leave in! Welcome back, sister
I love the night bus tittle @Minster2012 , surely that won't get us in trouble

@Minster2012 that is very true.

@notyetamumbuttrying sorry to hear about the viewing that is rubbish.

@Amy00 wow sounds like you have had a lot going on bless you. Welcome back to the bus.

@Franklydear not going to lie I’d be all over Thor 😂

@Gensola sorry AF is nasty, but have to say I did chuckle at being called a “lad”. I just imagined us all being a bunch of lads at the pub on a Friday night...

“Period’s here again lads”

“Mate that’s shit, fancy another pint?”

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 get on that hot water bottle, chocolate and wine! I sometimes find exercise helps with the cramps, although when I had my fibroid the AF was so meaty I had to be within 30 seconds of a toilet at all times!

@Minster2012 how on earth did I miss your AMH announcement?! 💖💖💖 woohoo! So what does that mean in terms of timelines? Hope you get more good news on Friday.

@larrythelizard you still in the game?

@Juno231 I didn’t realise all we had to do was visualise and self manifest our desires, I could be living a very different life 🤪

@Amy00 sounds like you’ve had a really tough time, hopefully things will settle now.

All the acupuncturists would be very pleased with my dinner last night, chicken laksa, so warm/hot AND spicy to boot.

BFN again today, have had to buy more tests to get me through!

Ooooh I love a bit of Marvel too, who is watching WandaVision?! Says a lot about how we watch tv nowadays, I HATE having to wait a week for the next episode. Between that and the endless waiting of TTC I realise that maybe I am a teensy bit inpatient.....

@haiyaa ohhh we're watching Wanda Vision too. What do you think? I'm really enjoying it but I have no idea where its going!

@Franklydear oh yeah loki is a good choice. And I love Chris evans/Steve Rogers with his beard & longer hair in Avengers Infinity War 😍

@Sausage1990, I love it! I think it is setting up the next round of movies and heard it was a limited run of one series which I get in the practical sense but I have really enjoyed the format.

And on the men of Marvel situation, I have often “visualised” myself as the middle of a Loki/Thor sandwich but funnily enough it hasn’t manifested itself yet...

There's a lot of marvel projects coming, if they can film them.... Wanda vision is great, even if a bit nonsense at first, @Haiyaa I don't think you can have both, pick a type, lady

@Sausage1990 just reading your 3am message! Hope you are well lovely.

On the Instagram chat - I've added a few people as well hope that's ok! Mine is so unimaginative!!

@Minster2012 god I think I've gathered you had some shit news while I was absent. I'm sorry sorry. You are so strong though, you will get through this 💪 and now sounds like you have also had some good news more recently on the AMH??

@lucyrp 😂 that is a grim poop tactic. Surely that doesn't work?! 🤯

@Kirky658 aww I am so excited to get a puppy at some point and reading all the training books!! So zero actual experience here (my OH has previously had a dog though). 7am isn't toooo bad. Does it just need to pee? If it's desperate maybe let it out but don't feed it straight away, maybe it is just used to getting fed early so wakes up ready to eat? Trying pushing it back 10 mins a day or something?

@DJmum83 belated congratulations on your BFP! Sounds like you've had a rough few days though 😬 look after yourself!

@Justanothercyster @Vil10 fingers crossed for both of you ladies! 6 dpo I have to keep convincing myself way too early to test!! I justify it by having a 50 pack of cheapies that cost 15p each. But they are 10 mIU so almost as good as a frer.

@Juno231 another fan of selling sunset here! 🙋🏻‍♀️

Thanks @Franklydear @Florence13 @Haiyaa 🤗

@blackcurrantqueen thanks. I asked about aspirin but they said as all tests came back negative for any blood clotting issues they do not advise aspirin and could be potentially harmful. So sorry to hear you've had multiple early losses too. ☹️ good that you've got the referral though, I think it helps a bit emotionally knowing you are doing something at least.

@bez91 sorry to hear you are another with multiple losses - urgh ladies this journey is so shit sometimes isn't it!! We can do this though 🌈 oo gosh on your extension! They've dug 2 trial pits on ours and all ok, although there is a sewer pipe running along the back we need permission to build over which is a right pain. Why did they put the pipe so close to the back of the house!!

The app has gone crazy! Had to copy what I wrote and log onto the browser to post it. I find the browser so odd to use, very used to the app!
@Amy00 hiya, nice to have you back! So sorry about the bfn but good you're ready for the next cycle already! I take it you take coq10 already? Good for egg health etc. It's good you've got things lined up as well, help take your mind off ttc 24/7. Interesting about those trials. Can see why you'd be hesitant with the distance and the lockdown etc.
@Sausage1990 aw good to hear! Yes that's a fab perk isn't it! I'll miss my lie ins if our time comes! Love the avengers too. Chris hemsworth as Thor 🤤
@Gensola ahh sorry to hear honey. Hot water bottle too 🤗
@Florence13 aw thank you. I'm sure we'll get more soon! How are you?
@Haiyaa wow that dinner 😯 looks fab! Sorry about the bfn ♥️ I'm watching Wandavision 🙋🏾‍♀️ weird start but good now eh! Also hate waiting for the next ep, I try and build them up so I can at least binge two in one go 😂 haha the same Sandwich for me hasn't manifested either 🤪 we must try harder 😉

Yes me too @notyetamumbuttrying

@Amy00 HEYYYYYYY LOVELY!!!! You are back!! We wondered about you!! Project sounds awful but hey for OH! What a diamond. What kind of pup?? Sorry you've had more MC & Chem what a shitter big hugs. We've done a renovation & yeah everything costs a lot so if you can put aside 20% I would & it's very difficult imagining how things looking together but we are considering doing it again, in fact that's our preferred option & seeing a place this afternoon (that we prob can't afford 🤣). Yes I had. BFN & a cancellation of my last embryo transfer as the embryo didn't survive the thaw so we are now left with nothing but for @Haiyaa too I got the news end last week my egg reserves show some hope so we are now looking into a new full IVF cycle then will have to go with the flow as to if that means me carrying or freeze for potential surrogacy. 🤷‍♀️😬 @Haiyaa I don't know anything more yet until next Friday, I don't even know the AMH result your food looks banging, that heat must make that BFP come?? And loving the "lads chat!"

HA HA maybe we should manifest a marvels orgy then we can ALL GET PREGNANT! @Franklydear??? @Haiyaa* @Sausage1990* 🥳😝

@notyetamumbuttrying on the IVF you will know what feels right at the time depending how it goes darling

@Franklydear we are here if you need to chat, I've not seen the avengers yet, I feel that's on our horizon, I've just been bullied into buying Spider-Man wellies in Tesco by a 2.5 year old 🤣😝

@blackcurrantqueen how long have you been waiting on your clinic appt?

@Gensola been there darling, just chill, it's not nice, but it's the sign of a nice fluffy womb, it's the closure you need and then onwards and inwards as we say 🙌🏻😘

@amy00 your new pupper sounds dead exciting! What are you having? Well he's 6 months and a bit now, nearly 7, and we get up 6:30ish with him in the week. It's started since it has got lighter in the mornings so I'm thinking that is a factor. I don't really mind as such but being pregnant I just wanna sleep all the time 🤣

@Minster2012 ages - well since the last MC - but OH needs to go and have his bloods done before the appt. all my bloods I've had taken that I've seen results of so far have been totally fine though!! Xx

HAVE REPORTED MY ABOVE POST AS POTENTIALLY OUTING 😂🤦🏼‍♀️
Guys could this be a potential 3DPO baby brain? 😂😂😂

@Minster2012yes, you keep me sane, and I am very grateful for that, crown wobble a bit, but getting back in the right place
On marvel, get that boy some superheroes, and get watching, there's action, there's science, there's morals and some hunks, what's not to like

Grrrr my app is being so crap!

Wahey LADS - I like this!!

@Haiyaa yep still just about hanging in there, AF due today but not here yet. BFN this morning and feel a bit crampy so I'm sure she's on the way.

@Amy00 tell us about the puppy - I want one but DH doesn't so I like to do vicarious puppy living!

I've done a bit more level headed googling over the past day or so and I wonder if my new short luteal phases are due to low progesterone - there's a couple of other symptoms which could nod towards it. I emailed a few private clinics last night asking how much to check progesterone levels etc and will make contact with the GP on Monday but suspect as I already have a child I won't be a priority.

Feel better for having a plan!

Hi ladies, hope ye are all having a good weekend so far. I don't know what's going on with MN, couldn't load it all morning.

@Amy00, I'm sorry you've had such a tough time. Hopefully the pessaries will work. We did an extension on our place a while back. You defo need a 20% contingency, we went over budget. It also went about 4 weeks over the initial timeline which was a pain. We couldn't live in the house while the work was going on so that made things a bit more complicated too. It was soooo worth it now though, we are delighted and I'm sure you will too.

Sorry to hear about your period from hell @Gensola, be kind to yourself.

We say lads a lot in Ireland even for women 🤣 hi lads!

So ladies/lads, my head is fried and I'd really appreciate anyone's insights. I just did a cheapie boots ovulation test and the test line wasn't anywhere near as dark as the control line! This was after my static smiley on the cb test yest...does that mean ovulation has been and gone? We dtd last nt but that was literally it so far this cycle - our dd was sick before that. I've never had a static smiley this early on the cb test so I'm freaked that my cycle is changing so much again. I'll be in for a very short cycle this month if that's the case 😭

Oh my gosh the app is rubbish today! I can’t even get it to load anything 😫 had to log in the web version 😑

@Amy00 welcome back lovely, wow it’s been stressful for you! I hope you’re ok.
Haha I haven’t tested in ages! I’ve had the same FRER in the draw for about a year 🤨 I can’t bear it.

Sorry if I haven’t replied to anyone but I just can’t cope with how shite the website is, find it really hard to remember and scroll back through everything.

Mumsnet HQ- please fix the app! 💙

So looks like the web is working now, normal service resume?

You guys would laugh at me just now. Accidentally tipped my glass of water onto the floor. Once I’d cleared it up and got another one, I went to put it down on the table and misjudged, dropped the full glass of water and EVERYTHING got soaked. Of course I had a tantrum saying “everything in my life is shit today!” And dh was sat there laughing with a very concerned dog on his lap.

@Franklydear I could t even get on the web for ages until now! Said service error. App still down.
