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 😍 hope DS has a good day!
@minster2012 hope X had the best bday ❤️
@juno231 lol. I remember I was bridesmaid at my bestie wedding and I had the same 😂 yeah I'm deffo going to be looking towards the end of my mat leave now.

@Kirky658 god forbid anyone puts a pic up of me holding someone else's kid - all hell breaks loose then!

@Vil10 omg amazing!!! I totally didn't think that would work but I'm so glad it did - and lol at the nurse knowing her stuff yet the GP being clueless.

@Juno231 Id been hyping myself up previously😂 I know?? I thought that!! Also if the gp is going to be the one dealing with me going forward she needs to be more clued up!! Do you know what kind of time frame I'm looking at for the results coming back?

@Vil10 yesssssssss you go girl 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

@Kirky658 yeah I think also focus on the baby and you'll sort it, hey we might see you on bake off or something after maternity who knows! And LOVING that DH still wants sex with you in the melon nightie he obviously agrees you are fit pregnant

@Juno231 do you think you might get married?? I think I missed part of that!

@feliznavidad2 good luck!! Spotting constantly must feel so debilitating emotionally I hope they can find out why

@Mumlili9 how you feeling?

@Franklydear yeah 37 now 😫don't feel it though. I really hope my cycle isn't ridiculous, I just want some regularity 🙄is that too much to ask?!

@Laurenxx94 good Luck for OH's sperm! Hope the vitamins have worked. I take vitamin C, D & krill oil as well as coq10 & evening primrose oil upto ovulation

@paintfairy frustrating AGAIN on the no physio, but good time skills, I'm like that today 🤣I gotta say I'm a bit confused on the timing thing this cycle but you TELL them when so it's not wasted /put off

What else did I miss?

@Vil10 glad you got bloods done and stood up to the receptionist 👍 I was told to call a week later for the results when I went. I know you didn't ask me but thought I'd mention my husband has been fine with pregnancy sex so far although it's dropped down to once a week so a lot less frequent than when TTC. He did take my crop top, bra, knickers off the other day and left my skirt on during an afternoon quickie and I'm sure he left the skirt on to conceal the little bump I've got 🤣 fair play

@feliznavidad2 may I ask what your spotting is like? Good luck with your appointment x

@Vil10 good luck with your bloods hope you get them back soon! Xx

@vil10 I was told a week but my results were available on the NHS app within 2 days I think.

@Minster2012 nah been married 4 years! In fact - got my second jab today and OH is worried it means we might have to cancel our anniversary dinner tomorrow lol. Same wedding date as Charles/Diana - what could go wrong!

@paintfairy I keep reading your updates and never actually commenting, I'm sorry. I just can't believe how crap everything is - I hope by some miracle they manage to catch the egg this time and that you can just move on to IVF asap.

Thanks @Minster2012 hopefully it helps, hate the waiting xx

Of course! @Laurenxx94

It's just v slightly pink discharge that starts within 4 days of ovulation and becomes darker/heavier until my actual period... it's happened the last three months albeit I only came off the pill in March.

I've got endometriosis and am concerned it's to do with that or really out of kilter hormones. We managed to conceive DS1 after two cycles but that was 5 years ago. And I was 2.5 stone lighter... hence also on a health kick now. 🙄 😣

@Vil10 yay. Glad you got through to them in the end.
@Minster2012 honestly its useless. I'll be glad when it's over.
@Juno231 aren't you already married? 🤔 How do they not know this? 🤣 But yeah people just don't look properly. It did look lovely though. And yeah they need to stop faffing. Problem is- likely they wouldn't fit me in next month if this goes wrong (they tend to be skipping a month, only got in this time with a cancellation) so it's dragging on forever. I'm going to see if we can go straight to ivf after this, if it does go wrong. Because I'm fed up going in circles.

@paintfairy oh I hadn't realised they skipped a month on purpose, I thought it was a fluke last time. Gah they really know how to drag this out don't they! To think it's been a year now since I went in for my first blood test... As for them thinking it was my wedding - it baffles me. I'm wearing a blue dress and I've specifically said it was the Parker wedding and neither OH or I are Parkers...

@Juno231 people don't read! 🙄 But yeah it's clearly not a wedding dress? You look lovely though!
I thought maybe it was a fluke last time too. But the fact she said i only got in on a cancellation this time makes me think its probably standard. Unless for some reason they have a quiet month. And yes it's been almost a year for me too. I called the GP in July last year. Took a couple of weeks to actually get an appointment though.

@Vil10 proud of you 💕
@Minster2012 at 43 for a couple of weeks longer, I have a way yet to catch up with you 😂

@Vil10 yay well done you!! 💪🏼

@vil10 that's brilliant, I'd love those pj's haha!!! Sex while preggo.... It's been up and down! We didn't do it much in the first trimester I think because of worrying about the baby, then from then about once a week or so. One thing I will say is I think because of the extra blood flow down there woah the orgasms 😜❤️

@minster2012 haha bake off would be the Dream!!! Yes the melon nightie is here to stay I think 😂

@feliznavidad2 hello fellow endo sister ❤️

GP was v friendly, said she'll arrange hormone profile blood test (think it's the progesterone etc as she said day 21, which it is approx cycle day 21 for me luckily) and an ultrasound of my pelvis. 🤞🏻

@feliznavidad2 excellent! Although always double check as that's what they told @vil10 and then actually didn't include progesterone at all. Hormone profile usually is done at CD2-3...

@Minster2012 it felt so good to be right😂

@2020mission I'll ring next Wednesday then hopefully they'll have them, I'm going to ask for a print out! Hahaha conceal the bump, still once a week is good going for being pregnant! I mean I have no idea what he thinks will happen😂

@Laurenxx94 Thankyou lovely x

@Juno231 I'll ring them next Tuesday/Wednesday and hopefully they'll have them then!

@paintfairy not holding out much hope for the rest of the process though!

@Franklydear @Justanothercyster thankyou❤️

@Kirky658 I think I'd be the same in the first initial weeks, I'd be nervous, but maybe when it happens I should tell OH about the better orgasms I'll have, might give him an ego boost😂

@feliznavidad2 thats positive!! Definitely double check, I did and turned out they were wrong, so it's definitely worth checking x

So it's my friends baby shower in a few weeks (yep you guessed it I'm literally surrounded by pregnant women) but they've been trying for so so long, it's the friend that I did the hamper for when they told us they were pregnant, and Ive just ordered the cutest hooded towel from mamas and papas, it was on her list of things she needs, just going to order a cute little outfit

She said to book it for cycle day 21... 🤔 @Vil10 @Juno231

@vil10 aaaah I can't wait to buy stuff like that for my own baby! So so cute

Just looked, you're right ladies, it looks like hormone profile is usually done CD2-4. I suppose if I have the progesterone one on CD22 and it's wrong for the others then I'll just have to hook in again?! 🤷‍♀️

@feliznavidad2 she still did all my hormones today because I thought one step at a time with having a go at them😂 I just really wanted my progesterone done today because it's the perfect day for it! But if CD21 is perfect for you for your progesterone then happy days x

@Juno231 ohh me too!! There was so much cute stuff, i just can't wait!!

Piece of advice, when you freeze bananas because they’re about to go off, you should peel them🤦🏼‍♀️
