Here I go again...TTC Bus 45 - blood sucking dungeons, whitesnake and angry cervixes all welcome...

[larrythelizard]

Your service has been interrupted as your normal bus driver has connectivity issues. Just as well there's a driver out there who's done the route as cover before...! As ever, apologies if I've got any of it wrong!

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?! 🤞🏻🙌🏻

And if you see mention of minster's blog then blame the ladies on the thread but @minster2012 needs to carry on with it it, I’ve been lazy! #shamelessplug

@Somatronic completely understand
@Franklydear tower fun sounded intriguing! 🤣
@Minster2012 drinking or no drinking, still sounds good!
@Vil10 what part of the month are the tests being done? Usually they do different ones at different times.

I did try ringing the hospital Saturday but I did think it wasn't open. I left an answerphone message in the hope they pick it up early Monday. Who knows. Not much else i can do. I'm at the fracture clinic Tuesday morning though. 🤦‍♀️

@Vil10 what's the latest on your bloods then? Did you get all the proper ones done and the results yet? Have you got a scan booked in yet?
@Franklydear I've been in Bucks today and heading bk to London has been a nightmare! It's like a monsoon! Cancelled trains, stations closed, the works! Gonna have to get the DLR and a bus to get bk now 😩
Ah Devon sounds lovely, haven't been there in years!
@Minster2012 enjoy wine tasting and dtd sesh, what a fun evening!

@vil10 those are all things to be tested on cd2 so sounds like they've ballsed up the way they did with @paintfairy

@Mumlili9 how many dpo did you do your progesterone test?

@Minster2012 when will our bodies ever play ball!! I caught it but had to starve myself if water to get it😂

@paintfairy they said to have them 7 days before my period

@becarefuloutthere I haven't had them yet, I'm having them on Wednesday morning, and I had a scan and an internal a few months ago so the dr said that will speed things up already having them, I would like a repeat though just to double check!

@Juno231 well that's just great😂😂

@Vil10 the only one you need then is the progesterone. The others are all done day 2.

@paintfairy brilliant, second thing they've messed up then😂

@Vil10 its standard. They messed my blood tests up about a million times. And although I didn't get an eye swab, they did mess up the chlamydia one 3 times. 🙄

@blackcurrantqueen can't be happier that it's cooler!!!

@Vil10 so you gonna ask them about the Progesterone test today?

I'm really meh atm. Day 9 of CB flashing smiles, no snifter of anything high on IC OPKS, CD18. Last time I got a (low) peak on CD15 & lots of ewcm, this month no ewcm, so I'm guessing this month is a nothing month. Maybe I can only ovulate every other month? Fucking miscarriage I feel that was my chance gone even though I'm trying to tell myself that embryo wasn't strong enough. I know a lot of us feel the same. Urgh

Busy busy weekend full of seeing some of my favourite people so just catching up!

Fucker @paintfairy - what's next?

Get chasing the dr this morning @Vil10

😂😂😂 at your DH @bez91

Positive sounds @Dollybird89 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

I agree @Somatronic sometimes it's too much, acquaintance announcing no 2 really hit me hard over the weekend which suprised me

I love Devon @Franklydear. Tower fun sounds awesome, we missed all the crazy weather where I am, was a bit drizzly a couple of times yesterday but back to nice today (not crazy hot though)

@Minster2012 hang in there lovely. No words of wisdom just a hug.

Diet starts today, was good last week but not tracking calories. Will work out how to add ppl to MFP when I get a minute!

@paintfairy hope you're hot on the clinics tail this morning 🤞🏼

Ahhh @Minster2012 sorry you're feeling down ☹️ there's still time yet I'd say. After one of my MCs I ovulated on CD20. What's your POA with the IVF? 💕

@larrythelizard it's strange how announcements can catch you off guard. Even when you're not particularly close to the person, sending hugs. I'm with you starting today on the healthy vibes, I fluctuate week on week; gain a KG, loose a KG and repeat no matter what I do 🤷‍♀️

@bez91 yeah I'm gonna keep tracking til cd22 as when I got my BFP I ovulated on day 20 or 21 it's the lack of ewcm which is meh too, there was a tiny bit the other day but now creamy so I think it's tried & failed. There's a lack of sex too due to both being stressed. What's POA for the ivf? We've not really talked bout the ivf other than let's try naturally then as it happened before. I had in my head til Xmas then reassess but we've not discussed it. We'd need the testing again to do ivf again

@larrythelizard I need to get on the fitness & diet again too

For fuck sake, there’s two people in the house requiring two hot drinks, I managed to spill both such drinks over myself, just enough to have to change, not burn just annoyed

Also morning all
@Minster2012 how difficult to know, I want some answers too
@paintfairy make sure you get your answers, you too @Vil10, don’t let them do it wrong out of politeness
@bez91 me too, a little up a little down, no rhyme or reason it seams, nothing to do with the pastry for breakfast
@larrythelizard still cloudy and showers here, but not that crazy

@Minster2012 it's too soon to give up this cycle - your eggie will get there ❤️

@larrythelizard let's do this! I weighed in this morning (omfg) and am feeling motivated to do this for once!!

@Vil10 ah ok, weds not far away then. Half way there! Hope all goes well x
@paintfairy how frustrating, i don't get why they make it so damn hard sometimes, sorry mate x
@Minster2012 sorry you're getting flashing still, like you say could be an anovulatory cycle or you could get peak late, best of luck!
@larrythelizard glad you had a nice weekend! Me too, seeing family was lovely! Best of luck with the diet!
@Franklydear ouchy, I'm like that sometimes! Glad you're not scolded.
@Juno231 on the diet kick too, you can do it!! Will you just calorie count?

Oh god all this diet talk. I so need to stop eating! 🤣
So the clinic rang my me back. Got full details and added me to the book. Apparently if AF comes after 6pm then day 1 is counted as the following day. Who knew? 🤣 So just got to see if they call later. Only issue is I'm at the bloody fracture clinic tomorrow. So if they want me to go then I need to somehow work out how to be in 2 places at once (same hospital, different floor).

Hi everyone hope your don’t mind if I grab a seat?

I’m currently ttc on month 10 my second child. First was with a different partner 6 years ago and wasn’t planned.
I have tried everything. Literally everything u could possibly think of!
I ended up having a chemical pregnancy in June which was devastating.
Anyway fast forward we have just finished ovulation on cd 21 and ovulated about cd 14/15

We were in Lanzarote and ovulation was in that time so was definitely a lot of sex and no thinking about trying and didn’t track! But going with previous months I’ve been usually the same!

Last night I started bleeding dark red when wiping but nothing on pants/ pad
Same this morning.
I usually get pre af spotting up to 5 days before af but never ever this early! And I’m only cd21 so definitely not af!
Totally thrown me and now contemplating implantation but don’t think it’s that common.
Been to the doctor for tests progesterone was fine not massively high but sending me back to gynaecologist also for more tests.

Totally getting fed up of trying and don’t know what else to do!
Some advice would be appreciated and hope I can join u all on your journeys x

@becarefuloutthere yup calorie counting, try and be active and cutting way back on alcohol. My poor liver after this holiday lol! How are you? What preggo symptoms are you sporting atm?

@paintfairy mfers at the clinic had better pick up the phone this morning

There's no wonder you're both stressed @Minster2012 moving house and renovating is definitely up there! End of the year seems a sensible move 😊

That's me @Franklydear so my attitude for the last couple of months has been why not a pasty for breakfast 😆 ouchy! Hope your day picks up!

Yes @paintfairy 🙌🏼 hope the timings work out. At least it's the same hospital, they might be a bit accommodating?

Welcome @Laurenxx94 sorry to hear of your struggles. I've had random mid cycle bleeding before quite heavy and I never usually bleed mid cycle, still not sure what it was 🤷‍♀️

I got my letter about referral to the recurrent miscarriage clinic a few weeks ago, it said to contact them if I'd not heard by today. I'll ring tomorrow, don't want to seem to eager 😆

Let's do this ladies @Juno231 @larrythelizard 💁🏼‍♀️ 💪🏼

Thanks for your response @bez91 ,
It's so annoying approaching cycle 11.
How many months have you been trying?

@bez91 born and bred in the continent, that's normal breakfast 🥐,
@becarefuloutthere just clumsy, boy safely in summer school, a few minutes late, we missed the connection on the buses, all good now so never mind, I need to go into town now, so really contemplating a Costa coffee ☕ too
@Minster2012 I might be too early, not all lost yet, what would you say to me?
@Laurenxx94 hi, take a sit, you're in good company, most of us have been trying long and some losses along the way, I had the implantation bleeding in my first child, in fact I was further along than I thought when I went to the midwife

@Franklydear what was your implantation like?
How many months ttc have u been? X

@Laurenxx94 this time about 19 months with a loss in the middle, I am 43 I don't have a lot of time
Implantation was like a period, that's what I thought it was, very irregular back then, when I got to the midwife and gave her my dates she said couldn't been, I was 3 weeks further along than thought
