Wow that last one was a quick one! The bus driver nearly missed the bus!🏎🚌

Here is the bus where anything goes, and chat isn’t just TTC it’s anything. Ranting very much encouraged to her things off your (are they sore boobs?!) chest. The last bus had loads of work promotions too & we’ve still got interviews so hopefully it’s a lucky bus in more ways than just making babies.

We are here to help and support each other & anything goes. We’ve had losses, heartache & some super fertile short ride passengers so welcome all.

The price of your bus pass is an embarrassing story please, doesn’t have to go be TTC related but can you beat breaking a guy’s banjo in a BJ or whilst DTD?! πŸ€žπŸ»πŸ™ŒπŸ»

And if you see mention of my blog then blame these guys, but I need to carry on with it it, I’ve been lazy! #shamelessplug

@Vil10 @bez91 I had to do sti tests too before they could take tests any further, I guess they just have to rule it out. And how ironic would it be if you got your bfp just after that call @Vil10 !

Currently jealous after seeing @Minster2012 Chinese leftovers!!

Kirky658 · 28/06/2021 17:27

Hi ladies just stealing one of the pregnancy seats. OK maybe 2 as my ass is big now 🀣

Kirky658 · 28/06/2021 17:28

@blackcurrantqueen awww amazing, dead chuffed for you!
@kaylsd your doggo is adorable
@vil10 that is bizarre. How late are you?

JuniperAndTonic · 28/06/2021 17:42

Ooh just marking my place on this new bus, just catching up on the old one after a busy couple of days!

kaylsd · 28/06/2021 17:49

@Minster2012 oh that's fab news with the peak! I would ask if you have covered the dates but it may be a daft question with what your normally like πŸ†πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ™ˆ just saw your chinese you had for dinner, looks lush!

@larrythelizard & @ kirky658 thank you lovelies! She’s had a blast this last week with doggy ice cream freebies from the chip shop and running for days on the beach! I burnt to a crisp in skegvegas in 14 degree heat.. my skin is such a wuss πŸ™ˆ

@Juno231 of course you can, our next outing is at the weekend aiming to head to the peaks with a picnic :’)! Are you guided on how to fill it out isit pretty much self explanatory? Hopefully once it’s all filled in it’ll be a smooth process for you 🀞🏻

I know this has been mentioned earlier but the TTC list is slowly decreasing which is a good thing for the majority of the graduates! However it makes me feel like back at school when your in PE and because I was rubbish I was always last or second to last being chosen , I hope my TTC journey isn’t a reflection on thatπŸ₯ΊπŸ€£

Franklydear · 28/06/2021 17:55

Last bus catch up
@Dollybird89olly music today a mix, Metallica and then seal,goo goo dolls, I want melancholic and fast
@larrythelizard exactly, no more what is, for two weeks, just mayhem, Tyson is right
@somatronic, sometimes being tedious gets results
@clolo oh my, 32!
@Vil10 exciting times
@Minster2012inster you fool, how you live without Disney+?

larrythelizard · 28/06/2021 18:03

Dr rang with results of Day 3 and Day 21 bloods...everything (AMH, testosterone, thyroid) normal with the exception of the progesterone to confirm ovulation which isn't a surprise given that AF was not 7 days after Day 21 bloods! She also reckoned that sex every few days throughout the cycle was better than all in FW as otherwise sperm is older and less swimmy when it came to FW.

Feel v relieved that it's not menopause that caused AF to be late!!

bez91 · 28/06/2021 18:04

Ahh yes @Juno231 @Justanothercyster I know it can cause fertility issues, my GP never offered it, they are lax mind. How weird with the weight thing though, I like @larrythelizard suggestion πŸ˜†

@Minster2012 it's good to know when your back in 'normal' territory after a MC I agree. When I was testing twice a day I always found they were a bit all over the place. πŸ† anyway? Actually been sick now, obvs not pregnancy related or the test would have been positive πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

@kaylsd don't think I have you on Insta, feel I'm missing out on your dogs adventures 🐢

@larrythelizard we did a Disney + free trial at the start of the first lockdown and never cancelled it πŸ˜†

larrythelizard · 28/06/2021 18:06

Also @Minster2012 I quite like this Ted talk on Emotional Courage

https://www.ted.com/talks/susandaviddthegifttandpowerrofemotionallcourage/details

Franklydear · 28/06/2021 18:07

@Minster2012 surely that is peak @kaylsd what you like, if anyone is going to have it covered....
@Dollybird89 afternoon music eagle eye cherry, save tonight

Sunbird24 · 28/06/2021 18:08

Toot toot, cheers drives!
My LH is on the way up so looks like I’m in line for an embryo transfer on Mon or Tues next week.
I am also eating leftover Chinese but it doesn’t look as nice as @Minster2012’s!

Minster2012 · 28/06/2021 18:17

It's not that well covered this cycle ladies, but interesting about the less swimmy-ness @larrythelizard that makes me feel better!

OP posts:
larrythelizard · 28/06/2021 18:18

Ooh that's exciting @Sunbird24!!

Justanothercyster · 28/06/2021 18:24

@kaylsd aww no don't feel like that! That's why I don't post on here much anymore, it's a bit awkward and I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable πŸ˜• your ttc journey is unique and you will graduate!

@larrythelizard ah so they'll need to be running further tests to check progesterone then. I had that but because of my pcos delaying ov.

Minster2012 · 28/06/2021 18:31

@Sunbird24 that's great!! So embryo transfer next week? πŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸ€žπŸ»

larrythelizard · 28/06/2021 18:31

Im going to leave it until after my second covid jab @Justanothercyster in case that was the problem. As I have a kid already anything other than bloods would have to be private which I sort of knew but good to have it confirmed

InkyPaper · 28/06/2021 18:47

Just taking my seat...

@blackcurrantqueen that's wonderful news!! So happy for you!!! β€οΈπŸŽ‰πŸ™Œ

@kaylsd haha don't worry! All good things come to those who wait and all that. Hopefully your journey will be a speedy one but if not, I'll be here forever at this rate so we can chill out at the back of the bus together πŸ˜„

KiwiTTC1st · 28/06/2021 18:50

@blackcurrantqueen yay!! So happy for you!! 😁😁

kaylsd · 28/06/2021 19:09

@InkyPaper aslong as you have snacks for the back seat then girl count me in, partial to a good road trip if the music is good and there is plenty of snacks for the way 🐷

@justanothercyster don’t be silly missus I love reading everyone’s journeys on here it makes me feel emotional to see what people go through to have their happy ending how long or short, I’ve started documenting it all on abit of a video type thing so I can show my little one to be hopefully one day how much we went through how little or small that may be for them ❀️ I can’t add anything new to it at the moment because im just waiting for the next bits :’)

@bez91 she has her own Instagram account… I’m sad 🀣🀣🀣🀣 you’re welcome to follow her if you like for a nosey! I do it so I can delete her pics off my phone but I won’t loose them :’)

Franklydear · 28/06/2021 19:16

@Justanothercyster get your ass back here, missy
@kaylsd the music is always good in this bus, also the snacks, we are a good crew

DJmum83 · 28/06/2021 19:17

@Minster2012 thanks for asking.
I'm still having problems with my heart going for 24 hour ecg. I'm 23 weeks.
Only 4 weeks left of work.
Hopefully get something sorted once I have the ecg and get medication.

How are you doing xxx

DKDK123 · 28/06/2021 19:20

Thanks for the new bus @Minster2012. The graduates list is looking rather impressive hopefully this will be a lucky summer bus that adds even more names to that list.

Got my fence painted and my 5 miles done, AF decided she was joining in full flow too with mega cramps which didn't make for the most enjoyable of times but I did resist going to the shop for a bar of choc so successful day all round I think! And my coq10 arrived so going to give that a bash for the next few cycles.

@kaylsd how cute is your photo 😍🐢

I'm so happy for you @blackcurrantqueen! πŸ’“ I hope you can breath a bit and try enjoy your pregnancy now 😊

@Vil10 I'm getting quietly excited for you with that rhr and symptoms, and really hoping you just had a later ovulation than you thought 🀞🀞🀞 Glad you've starting the ball rolling with the docs tho just incase.

@larrythelizard good to hear your results are all good so far, tho I know its also equally frustrating because sometimes you just want there to be a found cause of something wrong so it can be fixed. But glad it's not the menopause!

kaylsd · 28/06/2021 19:32

@Franklydear do we have song requests or isit drivers control the music @Minster2012
as I'm partial to abit of throw back music / cheesy pop πŸ’πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ’πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

@DKDK123 thank you darling! I've also just received my first delivery of coq10 supplements to give a whirl since it's the only ones yet I need to try :') just got about 4 capsules left of the conceive plus ovulation support what I've took for 3 month and not had any effect, partial to give anything a whirl πŸ™ˆ

Franklydear · 28/06/2021 19:35

@kaylsd a lot of the music comes from me, I listen in my rl commute, feel free to add to it, I need inspiration sometimes

KiwiTTC1st · 28/06/2021 19:42

Hope this question doesn't come across as stupid 🀣🀣 but I'm new to this. When is best to call the go up for blood tests etc? Wait till you're officially late? Or anytime once you get a positive?

Also I'm already finding it increasingly hard not to tell anyone, even at work I feel guilty keeping this secret πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈπŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

Feeling mega bloated and crampy, wanted to test again with a different brand and got a clear blue one. Tested after work.
