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

@Juno231 sorry they gave out you through that. Hope your ok.
I know 2-3 weeks already. Not got much symptoms at all, peeing a bit more and always hungry.

@Minster2012 thanks for the new bus? Lol at the title getting reported.
Xx

@Juno231 that's really interesting! Although I generally eat low carbs as I rarely eat potatoes, bread, pasta etc and still can't conceive #2 😂

Ladies on IVF, how long from the first consultation (after the AMH & AFC tests have been done) was you able to start? Does it have to start with your cycle? So like CD1?

@Juno231 my condolences for your loss too

@Justanothercyster it's not fair is it? 🤣🤣 my poor babies all come out totally bald as well and blonde hair when it eventually comes through. I would love a wee one with lots of dark hair like my hubby xx

@larrythelizard 🤣🤣 don't worry I will share with u if it makes u feel better 🤣🤣 xz

@paintfairy it's usual in active but must be under "chat"
@Catherinettc different when it's your own kids tho lol!
@Justanothercyster aw I bet! 🥰
@Crazydoglady123 I think it depends on the protocol type so long or short and if private or nhs but my understanding is it's from cd1 to start taking the drugs but our more seasoned ivf'ers can tell you. You're ahead of me I think as not had those done yet. 22nd feb for amh and 8th March for afc for me.

@Catherinettc oh go on then, thanks!

@larrythelizard least I can do to help in these hard times 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Catherinettc you're too kind!

Argh I am wound up today by the multiple ' could I be pregnant' threads - generally the response is do a test but OP doesn't want to for whatever reason, instead they want to talk about random symptoms etc etc! Just do a test!

Thanks @notyetamumbuttrying. No you're still beating me. My AFC & AMH is booked for 9th March. My consultation is the 16th. I really want to start on my April cycle, which working out this cycle and next being 28 days would be on the 6th April but I'm not sure if I'm being unrealistic hoping to start within 3 weeks of my consultation?

@Crazydoglady123 remind me, is it private? If so, then I think you will! X

@larrythelizard those threads are the worst!! 👎🏾

Omg yes 🤣 and the "line eyes please..." Yes love, you have two flipping line...congratulations. Still sat here 24 months + TTC and only ever get the one line 🙋🏽‍♀️

@notyetamumbuttrying yep private. I bloody hope so! I'll be booking myself in for rehab or therapy if not as I feel like I'm losing my mind atm 🤪 I feel like I know all of the girls at my clinic and haven't even stepped a foot in there yet where I keep calling for a cancellation! Typically they had one today for next Wednesday but I have my scan booked with the hospital then to check on my cysts half hour before the cancellation 😭 I'm another level desperate atm and was even asking if I could get a scan done somewhere else as I have a private sonographer I've been to a few times but they'd like it to be in house which is understandable

@Crazydoglady123 it's when they have a massive dye stealer and think they're not pregnant cause there's only one line - OMG! Could strangle some people honestly.

So at the fertility seminar today I asked about TSH levels as mine got fobbed off by the GP (and obv my fertility doc hadn't seen them or let me get a word in edgewise!). The guy said it is CRITICAL that TSH is under 2.5 as otherwise it lowers fertility and even if I manage to get preggers the babies will be at risk of learning disabilities. Yaaaay for being listened to for once but boo for my GP fobbing me off and not knowing if even my fertility doc will care.

@Juno231 talking about levels- my fsh is only just under the threshold. So I'm not sure if that's bad? Any higher and I wouldn't have qualified for treatment.

Thanks for the messages. I am keeping up to date just a bit wrapped in my own little bubble at the minute so sorry not adding much to the group but my own self centred updates.

@Kirky658 fummin for you on the sandwich front, toasties are amazing. Could you fold the cooked pizza in half, square it off and toast it?

I did a test, it was negative, tbf at this time of day I may as well dunk it straight in a pint of tea! Will try a morning one in the next day or two

@larrythelizard I didn’t start a thread at least 🤦‍♀️ but yeah it was an obvious question sorry!

@paintfairy hm would that link in with shorter cycles? Best not to think about it though, you're getting treatments now at least!

@Juno231 oh would it? Hmmm. My body needs to calm down. Not sure if you can change it naturally in any way? But yes, hopefully they'll sort it. She didn't say anything about it, only told me the result and the ranges and that they'll help if it's under xxxx and mine literally just was. I might ask her about that when I go!

@beastofbodmas awesome username BTW!! Good shout on the pizza front. Tbh after frantically trying to run round attempting to find our escaped dog, by the time we got back I just shovelled it down. These pregnancy hormones are no joke. Christ on a bike if one more thing sets me off this week.

@juno231 that seminar sounds really interesting I used to love learning about hormones etc for science. Find it fascinating.

@Kirky658 that sounds like your having a super stressful day bless you, things can only get better right?

@Juno231 that seminar does sound fab! But also just indicates how much GPs can fob you off sometimes too.

@Minster2012 another title another report 😂 hope your email wasn’t to harsh since it’s most of our faults for encouraging the thread titles.

@Florence13 i believe a big part of that could have been me 🙈

@florence13 I bloody hope so! 🤣 DH just made a totally yummy chilli con carne for tea which we are having with jacket pots and cheese which has made up for the lack of cheesiness at lunchtime so that's good 😁 how are you lovely? Xx

@Juno231 that seminar sounds amazing, and amazing that it was at work!
