Welcome back to the bus where anything goes, hop aboard, tell us about you & we’ll be here for you (there’s a song in there somewhere!).

This bus has a growing bunch of gorgeous black and white springy pups on board, tortoises & 2 feisty little kittens so bring your pets and pictures are obligatory 🤗.

We’ve got TTC happening in many different forms, shagging conventionally, unconventionally, with the help of scientific intervention, IUI/ICSI/Clomid/IVF & even just watching from the top of the bus 👀. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been trying for days, weeks, months or like some of us we’ve been around each other for so long we can’t bear to leave, nothing is TMI and there’s never a silly question...

Hell we KNOW TTC is tough, lots of us have had heart ache & are chasing 🌈so we are there for each other, as well as trying to have laughs along the way 🥰☺️

Oh and we like an embarrassing story to get your ticket for entry please!

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

Instead of working I'm watching bits from the Brits last night on YouTube. This performance from Rag n Bone man and pink made me feel weirdly emotional...

Catherinettc · 12/05/2021 11:05

paintfairy · 12/05/2021 12:29

@Minster2012 I just read about your parents. That's not good at all. Its certainly not what you expect. I hope today goes well for you.

kaylsd · 12/05/2021 12:49

@Minster2012 been lurking in the background but just wishing you good luck with everything today 😘✨✨✨

Sorry I've been quiet ladies had abit of time out from having a shit storm of a induced period from northisterone, hubs had his SA today I actually was surprised the time frame it took like but hey ho, it got the job done😂 should be finding out next week where we stand and then referred for help with our fertility journey, I've also had my AMH bloods done but I don't quite get why as with PCOS it can be inaccurate secondary to all the immature follicles but who knows we shall see! feels like it's been a lengthy process with bloods and scans to get to this point but least I feel like we've done the final tick box exercise for our referral to be done from our GP 🥺✨❤️

DOB78 · 12/05/2021 12:51

@blackcurrantqueen ah poor DD hope feeling better soon. Its an absolute joke isn't it, good job we aren't in this profession for the money

Sorry ladies been a while.

Didn’t even see a nurse til 12, appointment 11am, then she said I shouldn’t have been told to come in today it should have been 2 weeks and they might not scan me but they did, I think it was only when I burst into tears.

not good news, she said “I need to write down POSSIBLE failed pregnancy but it’s unlikely to be otherwise basically.

Still only a Gestational sac nothing inside
Growth from 7.6mm to 11mm so gone from around 5 weeks to 5.2, so suboptimal growth should be 1mm per day (it’s been 10 days)

So everything she said was basically expect a failed pregnancy

Back next weds where they can be definitive from the first one to then under their guidelines, she said she’d maybe seen 2/3 ladies in her 6 years that have gone on to have a viable pregnancy.

Its basically a no go but she said “because it’s not done in line with the guidelines (14 days) and there is some growth albeit not much we have to be sure” which I want too but everything she was saying was not to expect miracles.

Devastated. Both of us, empty (well my uterus is likely more empty than his)

I've pasted this across both threads, (grads) as well, apologies

@Minster2012 I'm so very sorry to hear that. I wish I could offer something helpful but it's just shit isn't it. So sorry you are going through this.

notyetamumbuttrying · 12/05/2021 15:12

@Minster2012 so sorry 😞 💔 there are no words, just know we're here for you in whatever way we can help xx

Katiekattty · 12/05/2021 15:12

Oh @Minster2012 I’m devastated for you. I’m so sorry, life can be a real shitc**t at times.

Clairey844 · 12/05/2021 15:14

@Minster2012 I'm so sorry...no words right now. Just sending you so much love. Xxx

I’m so sorry @Minster2012, I really hoped everything would be ok and you were off celebrating. How cruel that you also have to wait another week for a definite answer, sometimes that sliver of hope makes it more brutal as you suffer twice if it is bad news. Take care of yourself my lovely, I found toddler cuddles very therapeutic. Plus chocolate and all the tissues.

So sorry @Minster2012 life is so cruel and horrible with its ups and downs. So tough as well when she's saying that, but protocol means you have to be scanned again 🙁 sending all my hugs to you because this just isn't fair xx
