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

@Amy00 I'm so sorry that your going through another miscarriage, I've just joined this month so don't know your background but I can only send my love , I can't imagine what your going through but nice to hear you have opted for private. What a lot of money that is though. I do get you I got some blood work for progesterone done and genuinely feel regardless if it's low or on the low side they won't even look twice. So frustrating , regards to your house I read your other post and totally think u should have it the way u want. I can imagine it cost a lot so for it not to be done the way u like even if u opted for thag way it would probably annoy u further down the line x

Well ladies more spotting not looking good this month, nothing on pants just when wiping or pushing up 😴 so fed up going onto month 11! We have tried everything need to try focus positive but it's taking over again! Due af Tuesday been spotting since Sunday it's getting earlier and earlier I just know there's an issue with something hormone wise 😞xx

@Franklydear that thread is outstanding! Love the way everyone joins in and gets it. The cistern chapel comment had me in stitches 😂

@Laurenxx94 have you started fertility investigations yet? We started ours at 11 months and turned out Dh had low sperm which got resolved and I had endometriosis and low amh so I had the op and then ivf and now I'm 10 weeks pregnant.

@juno231 happy (non married 😜) anniversary! Hope you feel better soon. DH had his second moderna jab yesterday and feels under the weather today. I've accidentally brushed his arm twice and he's being a right mardy arse 🤣

I am on countdown now ladies.... Doing the bare minimum, tomorrow then off next week and one more week, can't come quick enough

Symptom spotting day! I am sooi wet, I have to keep checking it doesn't actually show, the worst constipation, big boobs, feel heavy not sore, a bit of nausea, find it hard to eat and no typical pms, whatever that is, I bet af comes early on Friday or Saturday now, won't it?!
@kir

@Kirky658 poor DH, remind him of that while you recover from labor for at least a month, exciting times ahead!

@franklydear oh don't worry I'll be milking it lol, hope for some positive news for you!!!

@becarefuloutthere that's amazing news. My oh had his second sperm test yesterday so waiting to see what that brings! May I ask what treatment u get for that if it is low?
My investigations have started my progesterone way 43 last time but still feel it's low but because I've ovulated not doing anything. Have been referred back to gynaecologist so hopefully get some answers soon the waiting list is pretty long tho xx

@Laurenxx94 what was the first one like? He just went on supplements, sorted out his diet and exercised and it improved tenfold!
43 is defo not low for progesterone so don't worry there. Have you had a scan and the other bloods done?

We went on walkers after school today, and we found a charity shop, we got an Ironman figure, two hot wheel cars and a big bunny teddy for £4.50, we paid more than they asked for, cos they charge too little

@Minster2012 honestly not great sorry to be a debbiedowner.

Cd1 today and exactly on time, 15dpo/ cd1. Im convinced I have low progesterone. I have pesaries left from my last pregnancy and going to give them a try after ovulation this cycle see what happens. They will just go off if not used anyway. Im clutching at straws nothing seems to be working for me. I take b complex, vit c, vit d, vit e, foliate, omega 3, ubiquinol, zinc and selenium. I do caster oil packs, crystal work. I've have fertility readings done all of which were wrong, I've even had a local coven cast for me and nothing. I'm officially fed up. We have been trying now since January 2018 and nothing is working. Maybe I should just give up

@becarefuloutthere
His first sperm check he was just told it was 12 mil so on the lower side but he didn't manage to get it all in that little tub so had to try again to
Make sure he didn't miss 😂 what supplements is he on did the doctor provide them?

I haven't had a scan in nearly a year. I had a dermoid cyst and it grew massively to 10cm and had to
Get it removed. There was another one but never had problems and was told it didn't affect fertility. At my check up scan for the cyst they found a polyp apparently but then they said there wasn't one but wasn't a fertility check so didn't really say anymore. My bloods were 21 progesterone and then 43 so massive jump after just a month. All my other bloods were fine e.g folic acid etc but with the referral
To the gynaecologist I need to meet a certain criteria !
I'm just getting so fed up! Especially because my pre af bleeding started 9 days before af this month. I mean I suppose I'm still not out but u just know I think! X

@Mumlili9 so sorry your feeling down I'm not far behind you with regards to cd 1 approaching 😞 so sorry it's been so long I too take all
Vitamins and convinced it's low progesterone or something to do with hormones. Have you had tests?
I've also tried fertility readings. Mine said within 2 cycles and that's nearly one down. Not got much hope. Have yours all been very inaccurate? X

@Laurenxx94 hehe 🤭 mine was asked if he'd missed the pot the first time as they couldn't believe the improvement 5 months later! (He assures me he didn't) He was on wellman but then swapped to proxeed plus sachets. Pricey but was worth it in our eyes! It was recommended by another lady I chat to but we ran it by the urologist too and they agreed it was the one to take.
Hmm sounds like you could do with another then. It's good you're being referred, they'll be able to do proper checks and do your amh and afc too. They're the ones that tell you the most about your fertility as it's your follicles (eggs).
Could be an implantation bleed so worth doing a test after your af due date to be on the safe side.

@becarefuloutthere thanks so much for your advice. How far ok are you just now sorry can't find the post? Also how long were u trying?
Do you feel the proxeed definitely
Helped? I've currently him on zinc, coq10, vit c and vit d. Be interesting to see an improvement . That's amazing the improvement what did your OH go from was it very low? It's so interesting to share stories on here and realise it's not just you!
I have considered implantation but i have tried to do that before and never happens 😞 except
From the chemical I had but my tests never got darker so I just knew it wasn't right xx

Little neighbour has been posting things through letterboxes, I got flowers so no complaints

@Laurenxx94 yeah complete waste of money. First one was supposed to have been born November 2020 then she changed it to Feb 2021 after I informed her it hadn't happened. Feb came and went nothing happened. Tried a different lady who said June I would be pregnant with a girl but clearly that isn't true as its the end of July and cd1.
Don't waste you hopes and money on these hun not worth the tears they cause.

@Mumlili9 that's really annoying isn't it because you see such good reviews about them , the lady I done has great reviews and u wonder if it's just total coincidence , did you question them? Xx

@Laurenxx94 yes she said nothings set in stone that the information was true when she gave it but its all subject to change. So technically she can spout nonsense and claim that things are never certain and charge you for the privilege of said nonsense. I reckon they pay people to give those reviews

@Mumlili9 I agree , it's so heartbreaking and when you get something like that it gives you a little bit of hope. Hope you don't give up I can't understand how you must be feeling. It's so annoying also that if you had to go private it's a lot of money too which makes it even worse , did you say you had been for tests etc? Xx

@franklydear awww that's so cute!

@blackcurrantqueen on our last spell of isolation I found some quite good toddler yoga on YouTube - I think cosmic kids? Also I set up various obstacle courses for DS and we built and hung out in dens built with sheets and pegs. Pleased you're double jabbed!

Happy anniversary @Juno231, hope you're feeling better!

Mmm iced coffee @Franklydear. Love that your DS is going for a sleepover.

Oh that's a relief @Somatronic

Seconding that 43 not low for progesterone @Mumlili9, ladies on here told me anything over 30 is fine!

Whoop nearly there @Kirky658!

I'm finishing work before gardening leave this week and my head is just scrambled over it all, I know it's the right thing to do but waah I really do like my current team and where I work really isn't all bad, it's so weird leaving and not even being able to have a big leaving piss up!

@blackcurrantqueen hope your DH is better today🤞🏼

@bez91 I hope the work chat went okay today??

OH finally had his phone call today, they said the hospital will ring him with a day when he needs to take a sample in, so he'll need to collect the pot from a go down the road, they just said they'll give him more info when they ring, does anyone know what kinda time frame we'll be looking at and if there's any "rules" that go with doing the sample?

@Kirky658 his mum called him a little shit for that, I didn't mind but another neighbor got clothes pegs and apparently she's not happy, another neighbor stopped me today cos the dog barks late at night when let out, I don't mind either, but if he could stop shouting at her when she does, that I would appreciate, his face 😲
