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

@Laurenxx94 I think I liked it because it was happy and feel good. A bit cheesy. It took a nose dive in season 3, you'll need tissues. 🤣

@Laurenxx94 it's good, just not happy and it'll make you cry
@Minster2012 they are teenagers, why go to the pharmacy when work mummy has some, always
Symptoms, the same really, boobs are big anyway and they still fit on my bra ATM, very moist? Nothing coming yet, I am very unsure, every cycle I get different symptoms so who knows

@paintfairy @Laurenxx94 @Franklydear I like virgin river too such trashy easy watching 😂

Happy friendship Day!!!!

I am waiting for the bus to go into the city, after dropping ds in school, and of course today is the day that is cold and rains, so I have an umbrella but no jacket and ballerina shoes, obviously

@Laurenxx94 yep 5 months between SAs so could've improved earlier than that. No problem, hope it helps!
@Vil10 hope you feel better soon! Gym should defo help. Not to get you too excited but hoping this could be IB and your bfp is looming...
@Franklydear oh no, hope you don't get soaked!

I'm on a plane at mo, waiting to depart. Off to Glasgow to visit a mate I haven't seen in about two years, can't wait!! Hope everyone has a lovely weekend ♥️

@vil10 I'm remaining positive for you.... Positive vibes!!!!! ❤️

Morning ladies, hope everyone's OK. Sorry I've been quiet recently, I've been following along but this IVF news has me flip-flopping between really positive and really sad and scared. So it's been a bit hard to engage.

@Vil10 if your hospital will let you, absolutely get OH to do his sample onsite. The mad dash to get there within the hour is crazy stressful 😂 the rules my DH was told were: abstain for 3 days beforehand, get it to them within the hour, keep it warm once done (body temp).

@blackcurrantqueen hope your OH feels loads better soon!!

@becarefuloutthere hope you have a lovely time in Glasgow!

@blackcurrantqueen @Kirky658 @becarefuloutthere I'd love to be as positive as you but I feel like it's af, mild af cramps, I just can't believe I've had a 14 day LP and now suddenly the month I've had my bloods I'm spotting at 10dpo, wtf, if this is af will I need to have my bloods re done even though I had them at 8dpo?? How stressful!!

@becarefuloutthere have the best time❤️

@InkyPaper I said to him last night you need to drop it off within the hour, I was being dead strict and he's winding me up going "so if I'm stuck in traffic and im 1 minute over the hour, shall I go home and do it again, or do it again in the car", sarcastic little prick😂 Thankyou for the advice!!x

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't posted in a while. I'm conscious of not posting pregnancy related things on a ttc bus but I'm still reading. Had a scan during the week and all was well.

@vil10, my dh was told to abstain for 3 days before his sample. I have my fingers crossed for you. I had implantation bleeding this time (didn't have it in 1st pregnancy) around 12dpo and had really bad af type cramps for a few days. I never spot before af either so was convinced it was af arriving early.

@paintfairy, I'm annoyed for you at how crap your clinic have been. You can't just see if you're going to fit someone doing iui in ffs. I really hope this cycle works for you.

It's so frustrating reading everyone's updates re trying to get blood tests & other tests done. Why is it that us women know more than the doctors?! Grrr.

I hope everyone is doing ok. @dkdk123, I hope your break is going ok. Hitting the 2 year mark is tough. I felt it myself. I really hope things work out for you (and everyone else on this lovely bus).

@MartyMcShy Thankyou lovely!x

So think af has just arrived, nothing in knickers but a lot of light pink/red blood when I wiped, what I usually get at the start of af, only 10dpo fuck me, it's actually laughable, at my grandmas before going to the gym and obviously have no tampons or anything with me because why would I when I express af on Wednesday!!! Fuming

Which area of Glasgow are you off to @becarefuloutthere? I'm in the west end. Enjoy your weekend here!

@Vil10 I never even saw my blood results from the GP 😅 they just said "you've ovulated, the results are normal". This seems to be the way with everything nhs up here. When I had all my bloods and testing done for chromosomal screening with this pregnancy I waited a month only to be told "your results are normal". I had to push for the exact risk figures for Down's, Edwards' and Patau's syndrome. It's quite annoying as how often in life do we ever do tests and just accept a result of pass or fail? We always want to know the score. Otherwise you'd never know if you were borderline on a fail.

@2020mission that's what my gp done too, I live in north Lanarkshire too! Are you from
Glasgow yeah?

Ladies I got a very slight slight SLIGHT line on frer , I'm 11dpo is this normal? If I sent a picture you wouldn't even see it! It's there but can't tell if indent or not.
Anyone had experience I thought at 11dpo should be slightly darker no?
Had a chemical in June so worried 😭

@becarefuloutthere fancy! enjoy your trip, I didn't get soaked, a little bit annoyed, but that's all
In Costa again, with a cup of tea and a piece of cake, I've taken to write in a notepad, nothing serious just idiotic thoughts that nobody will read, I find it very therapeutic but I've been here nearly an hour, it's not busy but I think I've stretched it enough, it's just that the weather is pants, the shops I need are far apart, and I don't have enough time to go home before picking up ds so...

@Vil10 that's happens with me, always wiping and blood usually but then it comes with a bang! I hate wearing pads until af I feel
I wear them for about a week before af even arrives 😞

@becarefuloutthere that's nice how long are u going for? I live just outside Glasgow which part are you visiting x

@paintfairy I'm on the episode we're jacks friends have come for a reunion? I love it! I can't think of anything else to watch after
We have watched - dynasty, blacklist, suits, good girls. Start stuff and can't ever get into it only certain things we actually
Like 😂

@Vil10 oh noooooo that's what happened to me last cycle too. So bloody annoying I hope it's not but we know our bodies don't we 😣well to a certain extent! We were also told no sex for 3 days prior to sperm deposit, oooo and he should hold the pot to keep it warm!

@Franklydear happy friendship day! Yes every cycle it's different I guess. Are you gonna dance in the rain?

@MartyMcShy I'm pleased everything is going well 😊

@paintfairy totally get the weird head space, hopefully when things get going it will feel a bit more exciting?

Well I'm party prepped here before I'm meant to have a relaxing time after 3.30 having my hair washed and blowed dried but now I gotta pick DS from nursery & DH & FIL up from town. Not relaxing.

Oh and it's bucketing it down here, and gives more for tomorrow when we are meant to be having a bouncy castle party. Ffs.

They'll just have to run round the house (lucky it doesn't matter getting trashed) & play hide & seek and stuff. I've just hidden all TTC & vibrators 🤪

@Minster2012 I have the most annoying lower back ache today, more annoying than my mild ciática pain

@Laurenxx94 cautiously excited for you! Did you use a frer?
@Minster2012 yes, let's dance in the rain, that can be your theme tomorrow, the toddlers will love it

@Franklydear yeah it's so faint tho and barely there with having my chemical I'm so worried.
I wish I didn't cave and test but couldn't help it! Il post pics but again it's very faint I had to tweak.

Wait @Laurenxx94 just casually dropping that in there! There's a line on the one with the ring 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Franklydear hmmmm yeah we might end up doing that, it's absolutely bucketing here 😣😔

If anyone knows any toddler friendly party games that requires 0 stuff through them at me! All i got is musical statues & they might be a bit young for that!

So ladies that know about cervix's...how do you know if it's open?? Mine is low and I can def feel the opening I think more than usual. Is that open??

@Minster2012 hope it's not indent honestly 😭

I'm terrible at judging cervix. Totally awful at it 😂 always get it wrong and everytime I touch up there I bleed 😡xx

@Minster2012 what about duck duck goose? Xx

@Minster2012 potentially the senior managers job but timing wise I'll probably miss out if we're lucky enough to conceive in the next 12 months. Also a non believer here in them things 🙋🏼‍♀️ bloody frustrating on the no ov. You'll have mentioned but have you ever done meds to go encourage ov as I know it's been an ongoing issue, did that help if so? Maybe if still raining Chuck some washing up liquid on the bouncy castle. Will make for a good slip and slide 😆

Also about 10dpo @Vil10 I always get cramps a week before AF due. BFN or BFP. Ahh just read on argggh how frustrating. I had loads of mid cycle bleeding a few cycles again that wasn't AF 🤷‍♀️ hope it's not the witch

@becarefuloutthere enjoy Glasgow and catching up with your friend!

Really pleased scan showed everything was ok @MartyMcShy 💕
