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

@bez91 as an introvert I would hate that, I need somewhere to hide, my only postponed wedding doesn’t seem in a hurry to put the date again
@Dollybird89 wow, that’s amazing , any point in trying to get the docs to have another look?

Lexber · 09/07/2021 07:17

It's not a very good picture but I think I see a line?!?! I wasn't expecting this!!!

It's very faint!! But I think it's there.... or is it my eyes?!

@bez91 @larrythelizard I'm hoping it's coming back normal now 🀞
@franklydear I have my infertility clinic appointment at the end of the month, so just tracking all my cycles to show them and see what they say

Lexber · 09/07/2021 07:19

Oh gosh @Lexber it’s there!

Minster2012 · 09/07/2021 07:35

Morning ladies!

@JuniperAndTonic but the obsession has pain off with finding OV so that's allowed 😘

@Lexber there's definitely line there, it looks a bit grey but hopefully in a couple of days it will be a lovely pink line

@feliznavidad2 fellow sex pest here too! I'd love it to be implantation pains but fear I'm clutching at straws!

@Dollybird89 god I really hope it's your cycles getting better 🀞🏻🀞🏻

@larrythelizard yeah I was exhausted 🀣🀞🏻🀞🏻🀞🏻for the job!

@bez91 I know what you mean about the intensity /intimacy. It's very...intense! We've got a postponed wedding end of august they were lucky & the same date as they had (plus a year) now means no restrictions πŸ™ŒπŸ»

I took a terrible picture lol I think I'm in shock xx

feliznavidad2 · 09/07/2021 07:59

Fingers so tightly crossed for you @Lexber 🀞🏻 is it your birthday today or have I lost the plot?!? I saw it was your daughters yday.

Lexber · 09/07/2021 08:03

@feliznavidad2 mine is Tuesday and my daughters was yesterday. She came 5 days before mine and they threatened to induce on my birthday as she was due 2nd...

amy2503 · 09/07/2021 08:07

Hey guys anyone who ov tests... I'm testing this month as my period was early last month and I'm worried it was the jab so I'm just trying to work out if it's normal this month... I got quite a high test on Tuesday... and yesterday it went down. Today it is slightly higher but not super high, and technically I'm not meant to ov until Sunday. Has anyone experienced their tests going up and down?? Or do you think my body is messed up and ive missed it..
thanks ! Amy xx

DKDK123 · 09/07/2021 08:08

How's the arm feeling today @paintfairy are you managing on just the paracetamol?

@minster2012 snowy tests suck balls 😀 however 9dpo is still very early so there's still time for that snowy suckiness to redeem itself with a lovely fat line in a few days. 🀞

I can see a line on the 2nd pic @Lexber a tentative congratulations 🀞 The not liking cake yesterday should have gave the game away! πŸ˜‚

DKDK123 · 09/07/2021 08:13

@amy2503 your urine may have been more dilute yesterday which could have caused it to be not as high, did you only test the once yesterday or did you do more than one and both were lower? If both were low it could be that your body geared up to ovulate and didn't succeed if that happens often it will try again in a few days which could explain the high one today. (Tho it's a bit early in the morn for ovulation tests today unless it's CB digital aalmost tests tell you not to do it with FMU, they usually say to wait till after 11am to do ovulation tests so that might also be affecting your readings).

larrythelizard · 09/07/2021 08:13

Oh @Lexber I see it!!!!

Lexber · 09/07/2021 08:15

@DKDK123 it was very odd that I didn't enjoy my chicken selects too and he said to me in Maccys my taste buds have changed as he noticed last couple of days I've been off food and fussy as such. Which isn't like me!

It was the cake dislike and the fact it made me feel sick (just thinking about it makes me feel sick and I love cake!!) that made me test today as I was going to wait til after I was due (tomorrow or Sunday)

I think I'm in shock.

OH said that that's my birthday present 🎁 🀣🀣

Lexber · 09/07/2021 08:16

Also my hormones are all over i just want to sit and cry over nothing!!

I sat crying in bed last night because I was tired ?!? 🀣🀣🀣

amy2503 · 09/07/2021 08:16

@DKDK123 okay- I'll wait until I'm home from work and try testing again- I'll try snd hold on a wee 🀣 I'll just keep testing over the next few days.
Thanks for the advice.
I'll keep you updated. xxx

DKDK123 · 09/07/2021 08:21

@lexber what a birthday pressy indeed 😁

@amy2503 at least you know you haven't missed your peak so there's still time to DTD 😊 keep testing in the afternoon over the next few days to see what it's doing. I cant remember why you don't do ovulation tests in the morning, something to do with the levels but can't remember if they're increased or decreased in the morning so they get done after 11.

amy2503 · 09/07/2021 08:30

@DKDK123 I'm worried I missed the surge and caught it just as It was going down. But m usually SO regular so that's why I'm trying to stay calm. xxx

becarefuloutthere · 09/07/2021 08:39

@Lexber I see the line! Congrats πŸ₯³

Sunbird24 · 09/07/2021 09:04

That’s a beautiful little line @Lexber, congratulations!

paintfairy · 09/07/2021 09:08

@Franklydear omg that dog aibu post. Parents are mental.
@DKDK123 I am not too bad so far, thanks for asking! Maybe it'll stop me trying to do too much too? 🀣
@Lexber as I was reading through I thought the cake thing was a sign. Because when I take the iui drugs it puts me off sweet stuff. 🀣 Fingers crossed for you!
@bez91 they don't tell you to stick your legs in the air to be fair. But they do leave your bum on the pillow, so your hips are slightly raised. Wedding sounds different- I can't decide if I'd have enjoyed that or not either.

Lexber · 09/07/2021 09:10

I've now turned into a paranoid weirdo knicker checking every 10 minutes FFS
I wasn't TTC previously so haven't been like this before..

Went loo and had a bit of pinky spotting so automatically thought the worst...
started cursing everything and everyone! Fuck sake if this bean sticks it will be a long 12 weeks 🀣🀣 (well another 8...)

Franklydear · 09/07/2021 09:19

@Lexber I would tell you to relax, but....

Today's music: Nickelback, if you listen to music and don't tell anyone, did you really listen?

Lexber · 09/07/2021 09:22

@Franklydear I'm trying to work/clean at home and relax but I have DD home as she was sick in the night and looked rough this morning (too many treats I think but if you can't be sick in your birthday when can you?!) and relax... 🀣

I've googled (worst idea ever) that it's pretty normal so... I shall try and stay out my pants for a bit...🀣🀣

I had the most random mix on yesterday while working - it included bloodhound gang, Eminem, spice girls, green day, queen, take that...

Crazydoglady123 · 09/07/2021 09:32

Deffo see a line @Lexber!

So had my scan this morning and our little baby is still going strong. It was the hardest thing going back in the room again and I felt sick to my stomach. They work in really weird ways there too like I have to get changed into a gown then during the scan we don't get offered to see the screen at all. I thought the sound was on, on it too as heard weird swooshing sounds but I couldn't hear a heartbeat which was making me more upset. Once they finish the scan before they tell you anything they make you go get changed. She then showed us stills of the baby and said it's doing fine. It had its back to the screen in the still but she said it was really hard to measure because it wouldn't stop moving. She went to flick through to other pictures but I freaked out and said I can't see the other one. I asked about the discharge and she said it's unlikely to be from my lost baby so not sure what else it could be then. The nurse who followed us out was lovely and really comforting checking I was okay as I couldn't talk through tears. My emotions over it all are still at an high and I think just relieving that room brought it all back again back obviously I am pleased baby is being a fighter. They measured it at 11+2 (I'm 11+5 from embryo transfer) but my little one always measured a few days behind so it just makes me think more it's that one that survived ❀️
