Breaking banjos, poking boobs & getting promoted πŸ™ŒπŸ»it’s TTC bus 44

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

@paintfairy which makes me believe everything happens for a reason as if we'd just have had the A transferred we wouldn't be at this stage now.

paintfairy · 05/07/2021 17:48

@Crazydoglady123 ah that's interesting! Yeah I do wonder if it never goes the way we think it would. But i guess there's no way to know. In which case they never really get more advanced with finding out, as most people wouldn't put a grade C on board on its own? I just wonder if there is actually more hope than they think. Not that I know how they even grade them in the first place. And no exactly! So actually people might be missing opportunities by assuming a C wouldn't work.
I'm not sure about growth rate at all. You would expect this one would catch up a little bit more now, than it would have with 2 in there. But again it's really interesting how things happen. Just shows we don't really understand much of anything really? I agree everything happens for a reason though. As difficult as that may be.

Kirky658 · 05/07/2021 18:44

@minster2012 shame about the jars not being sealed as it looked awesome! When our Tesco delivery came the other day it was covered in white stuff (no pun intended 🀣) and the driver was very apologetic as he'd had some sour cream and single cream packed on by some heavy bottles, gone over a bump. And it exploded all over mine and others shopping! Funniest thing was my mum and dad live just up the road and their delivery was right before mine so they suffered too πŸ˜…

@crazydoglady123 just hugs πŸ€—β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ

Had a lovely young chap come out to replace my car tyre for me after the puncture yesterday- turned out there was a bloody nail embedded in the tyre.

becarefuloutthere · 05/07/2021 18:53

@Crazydoglady123 I'm ok thanks, just nausea and cramps constantly! Ah that makes sense hun, very considerate of you. It's great to have the ladies over here as well isn't it. I wonder if they will be able to tell you which grade embryo it was. How will you find out tomorrow? Have you managed to get an earlier scan? X

feliznavidad2 · 05/07/2021 20:36

Sorry to hear your sad news @Crazydoglady123 - will think of you on Friday x

Lots of luck @Sunbird24 🀞🏻

feliznavidad2 · 05/07/2021 20:37

Still fertile week here, no positive OPK yet though. Having a glass of wine coz it's been a loooong but nice day at the farm with DS.

Franklydear · 05/07/2021 20:57

Boobs uncomfortable, the extrangest cramps, I feel really restless and so much cm I thought I came on early 3 times today, now where’s that dungeon?

Kiwibabyjourney · 05/07/2021 21:02

@Crazydoglady123 so sorry to hear your sad news πŸ˜“πŸ˜“ sending a virtual hug

Clairey844 · 05/07/2021 21:21

Hey lovelies,

@bez91 so sorry, and so bloody unfair again. Plus scary stuff about OH's work 😬

@Crazydoglady123 that's so sad, I am so very sorry-must be so hard to have such a mixture of emotions. I think people commenting about the other one being ok is probably just coming from a good place and they're just trying to make you feel better. Sending lots of love 😘😘

@Minster2012 good work making the house officially yours 😜 πŸ†
Are you still doing the ovulation tests? Sorry if I've missed it somewhere but did you get a peak/static as I know you weren't even sure if AF was actually AF.

@Sunbird24 glad today went well, loved the socks πŸ˜‚ How is it July though; a friend posted a pic of her & her hubby out for lunch today and she had a wooly hat & scarf on 😬😬

Hope everyone is plodding on ok, got home from work and OH (who is currently stuck at home isolating) has had a good old cleaning blitz. Great I thought, until I took my shoes off and the floor felt dusty. As the light changed I could see a horrible grubby layer on every floor downstairs and it turns out he thought white vinegar and bicarb would make a great homemade floor cleaner. Wtf!! We have lovely almond flavoured wood floor cleaner that does a fab job and smells lovely but he decided to make his own. So now him and the small feral one are in bed I am going to attempt to steam mop everywhere and fix it πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

kaylsd · 05/07/2021 21:46

Just a quick scroll between mayhem at work last few days @Crazydoglady123 sending you the biggest virtual hugs ever as I'm so sorry to hear your news xx

bez91 · 06/07/2021 03:24

Thanks you lovely lot, cramping loads so not much sleep happening. This is my first CP but makes it MC no3, do any of you ladies know if NHS will count it as no3 and refer me to recurrent miscarriage clinic or will they be dicks? I'm expecting the latter

@paintfairy wow what an epic that is knowing what they're doing 🀯 how frustrating, hope it works out with your/their best guesswork!

@Sunbird24 yayyy congratulations on being PUPO!

@Crazydoglady123 hope you find today's antenatal appointment useful in advance of Friday will be thinking of you πŸ’•

@Franklydear I hate that feeling of rushing to the loo thinking that, I enjoy your dungeon spotting posts, keep us updated .

@Clairey844 that sounds like something my DH would do. Who does he think he is Mrs bloody Hinch. I bet it's really gritty πŸ™ˆ hopefully you got it sorted!

Minster2012 · 06/07/2021 06:47

Morning ladies,

@Clairey844 πŸ˜±πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈwhat!! Loving the organic thoughts on the cleaner but some things aren't worth it 🀣hope you got it sorted!

@feliznavidad2 come on peak!

@Franklydear back in the dungeon you go with those sore boobs!

@Kirky658 we've had that before during lockdown with Sainsbury's delivery covered in olive oil, I was like "don't put it down anywhere!"

@Juno231 that's so annoying about the Levothyroxine, just do it gif damn you ppl

How is everyone else doing, how bout our newbies @GuessHowMuch & @butterfliesx?

Minster2012 · 06/07/2021 06:49

Sorry @bez91 forgot to respond to you I hope you got some sleep. I think each trust would be different, how "late" was AF after the BFP? Remember @DKDK123 was having issues with them not being 6 weeks? But mine seem a bit more relaxed but I was "meant to be further along" I guess.

OP posts:
Kirky658 · 06/07/2021 06:52

@clairey844 it's interesting how bad men can be at nesting 🀣🀣

@minster2012 it did make me chuckle. I had to stand there disinfecting all the shopping which was so fun! I'd imagine olive oil is so much worse though.

DKDK123 · 06/07/2021 07:08

@bez91 yea mine are dicks but it seems to vary by authority so yours might be OK....or just lie and say it was at 6 weeks to get the investigations rolling. I've had 7 confirmed CPs (always double checking the positives against multiple test brands to make sure they weren't just evaps) but because all of mine ended around 5 - 5 1/2 week mark I was told by both my GP and thr fertility clinic that they 'don't count' had I known that I would have just said I'd gotten to 6 weeks as most were only days away from it and I thought by giving the exact dates it may help them pinpoint what has been going wrong, silly me being honest! πŸ™„

Franklydear · 06/07/2021 07:11

Morning firmly in the dungeon but alone, dh asked for an update on symptoms only to announce that’s the same as every month so to expect af on Thursday if not sooner, hum bug

Franklydear · 06/07/2021 07:12

@bez91 you couldn’t be far from 6 weeks, hope they take you seriously...make a fuss

paintfairy · 06/07/2021 07:56

@bez91 agree with @DKDK123 - say 6 weeks just in case. In case they too don't count it. I find it bizarre not counting it mind, because clearly something is happening. Its really not good enough. 😑

bez91 · 06/07/2021 08:03

Thanks @DKDK123 and @Franklydear must have been about 5-5.5 weeks. We had some results to share with GP so I've put her a little note in too to read I've just said I've had an early loss within the last couple of weeks, hopefully she'll just do the referral. If she calls to discuss I'll just say 6 weeks! Ageee @paintfairy It is really sickening that they're not counted @DKDK123 nothing like invalidating your whole pain and torment πŸ’•

paintfairy · 06/07/2021 08:28

@bez91 it's not just that though. How many losses do you have before it counts? You could have 20 at 5 weeks, will they still be saying out doesn't count and nothing is wrong? Because clearly it is! Obviously that wouldn't happen purely because @DKDK123 now knows to say 6 to tick the box. But really you shouldn't have to! This whole world is about hoops you have to jump through. Really pisses me off. Rant over..... 🀣

Minster2012 · 06/07/2021 08:37

Great plan @bez91 hopefully they will pick up on it and do a referral, I def think you should chase end of next week maybe? How are you feeling this morning, have the cramps eased?

OP posts:
Minster2012 · 06/07/2021 08:41

@Franklydear lease he's still interested and on board, even if not in the dungeon

paintfairy · 06/07/2021 10:47

Update from me: Who knows what the NHS are doing. 🀣
So I've got a 1.7 and a 1.8 today (two 1.7s yesterday). I'm to trigger tonight for insemination Thursday after taking more gonal f this morning. I asked what the ideal was and she said 1.8 but she likes them to be 1.9.
Yet last time I had a 1.7, 1.6 and a 1.5 at point of trigger. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ So maybe it was never going to work?

Also last time I was inseminated 24 hours after the trigger. This time it'll be 36? So which is correct? πŸ€” The only bad thing now is that the sperm will be just over 4 days old by the time they do it. I suppose under 5 is still OK but it's too late now to do anything about that. Other than it be under 2 again and that was not ideal last time at all. πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

paintfairy · 06/07/2021 10:50

Oh and my lining is only 7.2 today, so I'm guessing that was also borderline last time being they triggered me so early? But I'm not sure what the number was.

Vil10 · 06/07/2021 10:56

Hey ladies!! So sorry I've been absent these last few days, I was out on Saturday then dead to the world on Sunday and Monday, only feeling normal now! Af finally arrived on Saturday, typical as I'm going out, felt horrendous on Sunday, so bloated and heavy, but fine now, I just don't know what my next one will be like in terms of timing because I don't know if covid will affect it again?? I've got opks to take so I can gage roughly to book my blood test! Hope everyone else is okay? Have I missed anything??❀️
