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

@Franklydear sorry it's taken u so long. Have u been for tests or to the doctor x

@Laurenxx94 no, at 43 and with a child, IVF wouldn't be an option anyway, obviously good that can still conceive, will give it till Xmas before giving up completely

@paintfairy I really don't understand how it's so hard for them?? Well you learn something new everyday don't you!! What a rubbish timing, could the fracture clinic fit you in any other time??

@Minster2012 @larrythelizard yep going to ring them once I'm home, but what do I say?? I don't want it to sound like I know better than the doctors but I also want them to know I know the info and don't want to be messed around!!

@Minster2012 sorry you're feeling so down lovely, there's definitely still time yet to ovulate, hang in there, sending hugs x

@Franklydear I won't, I hateeee blood tests too so the last thing I want is having to have them multiple times through them getting them wrong!!

@becarefuloutthere I'm pretty sure these bloods are the ones I had last lockdown but not on a specific day, but realised they're doing the wrong ones on wrong days, so that's always helpful😂 how're you getting on??

@Laurenxx94 welcome!! Sorry about the cp, but you've definitely come to the right place, a lot of us women on here are long riders with long journeys under our belts!! 🤞🏼 this is your month x

So it was my grandmas 80th yesterday so all the family was together for afternoon tea, my cousin brought her newborn (the cousin who has 3 children and literally decides when she wants to get pregnant and bam) and kept passing her to me to comfort when she had to deal with other children, I loved it!! However I did get a few comments off male family members to my OH "ohhh you're in trouble mate, look at her with the baby, it'll be you two next", OH diverted it really well bless him! Also my mum told me later on that whilst I had the baby OH was looking over smiling, breaks my heart, but hopefully it'll be us soon enough!!

@Vil10 it'll be you soon enough, I have no advice on the wording, I am always very blunt,I blame it on the second language and cultural differences, my wording would be,can you talk me through what you are testing for exactly again? I just want to be sure I know what we are doing, should you not test for progesterone too?

@vil10 it will be you guys so soon I just know it. Make sure you harass those bloody doctors!!

Last week of proper work for me this week. I'll be on leave next week then back for my final week before finishing for mat leave 😁

@Franklydear good idea! So my LH and FSH should be tested on day 2 and my progesterone on day 21? Is that right? I want to be right before I ring

@Kirky658 ahhh that's so exciting and come around so so fast!!

@Vil10 you need @Juno231 for that, she’s the wizard

Yes @Juno231 I'm in. Will weigh in on Friday and report back! Holiday next week but taking running kit and stuff so hope to be relatively good. Although bored today and struggling not to just pick.

Lol who knew you could bend time like that @paintfairy?!

Welcome @Laurenxx94 this is a friendly bunch of ladies!

Oh stuff being eager @bez91 I reckon after lunch today is fine, get on the phone!

Oh how cute is your OH @Vil10?!

I currently drive a company car which I'm going to have to give back soon so went to look for cars yesterday. Found one I liked, I want it in turquoise, DH is horrified as he'd much prefer me to get a black one...! Makes me want the turquoise one even more!

Thanks everyone feeling so welcomed already!

@Franklydear I've rang and the receptionist couldn't even say progesterone, so she said she'll speak to the gp and ring me back!

@larrythelizard he is cute when he wants to be bless him, hahaha yes to the turquoise!!

It just gets better and better, OH's gp have rang to cancel his SA, said they need to do his phone consultation first, which I thought was a given, they mentioned nothing about this before so we presumed it would be done in the first appointment, arranged his consultation for between 10-11 this morning, nothing until 11:10 when he got a voicemail saying the dr had tried ringing and it went straight to voicemail, OH rang back and said well I don't know why, I have signal and been waiting for this call so haven't been on the phone, they then said "well the dr is working from home so it'll be a withheld number so you need to check really if those numbers are blocked from your phone", he's unblocked the numbers and they said he's still on the list and highlighted so just to await the call again??? Surely they should've let him know this before ringing, absolute shit show, I'm getting pissed off already

Anyone else been so desperate for the loo as been saving wee up for OPK that they fall over in the dash for the loo & nearly wet themselves??

Or just me?

After all that the OPK looks nothing ffs

Oh @Minster2012 you are having my kind of day

I'm in for the calorie counting too @bez91 @Juno231 @larrythelizard using Nutracheck at the moment, it gave me an extra free week trial so I am trying to utilise it. 💪🏻

And my umm salad... for interest? Promise it'll be my online foodie shot.

Bought Clear Blue OPK 4 fertile day fandabbydosy machine today. It would seem that if in doubt, and things aren't going well, I still just chuck money at things...

@Juno231 @bez91 I’ll start the diet tomorrow, today was ice cream for lunch, chocolate with squirty cream, had to be done

@vil10 spot on with the tests, you've got this! I'm not surprised about the GP and your OH's debacle, sadly...

@feliznavidad2 woop well done with the salad! I've got salmon teriyaki for dinner tonight and am pretty excited :)

@feliznavidad2 @bez91 @Juno231 @larrythelizard can I join in too! I'm calorie counting as well, since losing the first 16lb I've kinda just been maintaining but really want to get to 2 stone goal and then maintain!

@Juno231 Thankyou!! I rang and the receptionist said she'll speak to the gp and get back to me, almost 2 hours ago

@paintfairy oh jeez, you need one of those time travelling spinny things that hermione used in the third Harry Potter books!
@Juno231 sounds sensible, but holidays are to be enjoyed so don't beat yourself up about the booze and calories. Hope the diet goes well! Your dinner sounds lovely 😊 I'm feeling pretty sick still and have foof pain but ok on the whole thanks.
@Franklydear ooh hope you got a Costa coffee, love their hot chocolates!
@Vil10 ah I see, how bloody frustrating then! I'm ok thanks ☺️
@feliznavidad2 mmm yummy looking salad there! 😋

@becarefuloutthere foof pain? Like an ache or something more tangible? Hadn't expected that as a symptom - you only ever hear about lightning crotch.

@vil10 does that mean another 12 lbs to lose? Madness

Been skimming through, sending hugs to everyone 💕

I don't post much as don't want to upset people with pg updates etc (think someone mentioned it upsets them when bumpers do that yesterday?) but I still like reading about everyone's journeys.

Hope the fertility processes go smoothly for everyone, you so deserve your BFPs already x

@Laurenxx94 coming to end of month 14, 3 MCs. Everything else is pretty normal that's been tested.

@Franklydear Ice cream for lunch? From
The continent too? 😊 super jealous of European breakfasts. I love a full English but pastries 🤤 are you from mainland Spain? Our family has a little place not far from Elche

Ahhh that's sweet @Vil10 your time is coming! What a shit show with the GP!

@larrythelizard definitely get the turquoise one, will you be travelling much for work in your new job? Took your advice, rang the hospital, got put through to a answerphone so waiting a call back 🙄

More the merrier for the calorie/exercise count! 💪🏼

@bez91 as a grown up I took an executive decision, yes, from the very north mainland, we're Celts

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4306741-Neighbours-planting-Ivy-on-my-fence Oh dear

I got my BFP this month - first one, came off contraception in Feb but due partner’s low sperm count I was convinced I couldn’t be pregnant this soon! Only at 5 weeks so early days yet, but lovely that it’s happened 😊

My embarrassing story is when I went for a wee in the middle of the night, my bf at the time’s brother barged in (door didn’t lock) and he was fully starkers. Think he was a bit out of it, as instead of running away, he just rotated around so I got the 360 view… had to scuttle past him to get back to the relative safety of my bf’s room. Disaster all round…
