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

@Minster2012 pass the parcel 🤣, hmmm, serious answer paint your own pot/plate/rainbow 🌈?

@laurenxx94 I deffo see a line on the pic with the ring, you might have ovulated late so not 11dpo? Also leave your cervix alone, in most cases it doesn't rise up till about 6-8 weeks pregnant 😉

@Laurenxx94 I hope it's not an indent 🤞🏻🤞🏻what is duck duck goose?

@Franklydear that sounds great except I can't magic up some pots or something to paint when I need to leave for what's meant to be pampering hair soon argh! But yeah I might try get some things for pass the parcel!

@bez91 no I've never taken any meds for helping OV the ivf consultant said the odds with my AMH (as it is now) is less than just going straight for ivf he thought it would be pointless & we'd end up doing the ivf and wasting 6 months (which he said clomid takes) so I guess if no joy in 6 months maybe reassess? Well there seems like options for you anyway which is good

@Kirky658 it was me asking about cervix checking!

@Kirky658 I'm a nightmare for cervix checking , not touching it now I've seen some sort of line! Will keep everyone updated xx

@Minster2012 it's a circle game. Jus thinking maybe too big for toddlers lol how old r they? X

@Minster2012 How old are the kids. If you have slightly older kids try bubble painting.

I feel like such a rubbish passenger this month!! Sorry girls!!
Love and hugs to anyone who needs it! Xxxx

I keep trying to catch up then get distracted by work it the kids (school hols) and forget to reply or if I read at night I'm falling asleep.. waking at silly o clock again always a hour or so before my alarm and usually for a wee, same as last month and crampy as hell today and last night so 🤞🏼 for another BFP but with a sticky one!! 7dpo

Managed to burn my hand this morning as I was stupid enough to reheat my coffee in the one mug that had a metal handle... and I found out it was that mug as I removed it from the microwave!! Talk about pain, I now have 2 very burnt fingers with blisters and tight skin and have been on pain killers all day ridiculously distracted from work and everything else trying to type left handed ... 🤣🤣

@2020mission thats shocking!! But a good way of putting it you saying that! I think it's completely normal and reasonable to want to know the exact results!!X

@Laurenxx94 I can see it on the pic with the ring over it!! Keeping everything crossed for you🤞🏼

@Minster2012 very annoying, my body is being a serious fuck boy, shock🙄 Thankyou!! Hahaha imagine a child running around with a vibrator, that would be a story to tell when they're older😂😂 I have no idea on cervix position so I can't help sorry!!

@bez91 so bloody frustrating, why can't our bodies play ball!!

So cramps have completely gone and no more spotting, my rhr did dip, so I'm interested to see what it does tomorrow!

Alsoooo, got a text from my gp saying my prolactin blood form is ready to pick up and bloods need booking for 3 weeks, which I thought was weird because that was one I had tested on Wednesday, rang my gp, my results are back and the receptionist said "all results are fine, progesterone is in line with ovulation we just need to repeat your prolactin blood test in 3 weeks" so she's booked me in for the 23rd, I asked if she can print my results out for me and I'll pick them up on Monday, glad they are okay but I want to check my progesterone one, and why would my prolactin need repeating??

Also lost my appetite again 🤣
Cooking a delicious looking meal for tea and the thought of eating it makes me feel queasy!

Fresh chicken with loads of veg is all I'm cooking so far and I just don't want it at all yet before I started cooking I was excited for tea - gotta love a messed up body!

Mardy hormonal Lexber at your service! 🤟🏼

@Vil10 did they say what your progesterone was? I had to specifically ask what number it was .. good news your cramps are eased mines have aswell and no more spotting my boobs are a funny feeling so hoping this is the start of my bfp 😞 Oh is totally
Against me testing early so he's annoyed I've done it and won't get any our hopes up because of the chemical xx

@Lexber ouch! Also I did that yesterday, I cooked my fab cheesy pasta with pork sausages and couldn’t eat it, tasted really off, everyone else scoff the lot, so it’s just me, today I have nausea so can’t enjoy anything, and dh promised McDonald’s for dinner to ds, not sure I like the sound of that
@Minster2012 if you have pens and paper, make your own crown, with glitter if you dare, do the butterfly count, it has an app and it’ll kill half an hour, now you have grounds(disclaimer: I might like that one more than the kids), put the tail on the donkey? Give minster a make over!
No idea on the cervix, but maybe leave it alone
@Vil10 I took a pad with me today as a measure so af won’t come when out

@Vil10 hmmm not sure about prolactin I don't even remember seeing that as a result on my first tests 🤔

Got my appointment through for recurrent MC clinic 14th October so just 11 weeks to wait. It's over the phone mind 🤦🏼‍♀️

Anyone got anything exciting planned this weekend? It's lashing it down here terribly. Hopefully opportunity to get some house stuff done!

@Franklydear it's a nightmare isn't it!!

I was the same last month too... here's hoping it's for a good reason for us both.

I have hardly eaten all day - 5 tuc biscuits I fancied, a hotdog and just had a cornetto I fancied now I feel sick!
Also really fancied a soya hot choc again (I think I did the same a month ago 🤣 feeling sorry for myself!)

I now feel sick!

I really fancied flapjack earlier, made some and tried it and bleurgh!

I've got some sizzling steak wotsits for later hopefully I will enjoy them but in all honesty when I finish work at 4 I just wanna sleep!!

@Laurenxx94 no the receptionist said she isn't medically trained to give me that sort of information annoyingly!! 🤞🏼 this is your BFP! I have frer but hate using them just to be disappointed!x

@Franklydear any sign yet??

@bez91 im not even fully sure what it is?? It'll fly by, glad they're getting the ball rolling!! I'm out for a few drinks with friends tomorrow afternoon then at my mums for a roast on Sunday but nothing too exciting, have you got any plans? The weather is awful here too!!

No plans this weekend @bez91 and the rain is awful, glad I didn't go into the office today!!

Might treat myself to a drive t Alfreton tomorrow... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just read back @Laurenxx94 I see a line 🤞🏼🤞🏼 for you!!

I refuse to buy any @Vil10 until end of next week to stop early testing again lol due Sat I think but unless I feel terrible and like last month I won't be testing early as I'd rather wait and see: last month was horrible 😞

It's hard to think we left home for our trip pregnant and excited and returned home not pregnant and gutted.
I think I'm scared to be pregnant again, it sounds silly but that was my first loss I have been fortunate with my 2 previous pregnancies and have a 14 and 11yr old from them. But I know it happens it just hadn't happened to me if that makes sense which I knew I was very lucky for.

@Vil10 I really hope so 🥵 I have no more test except a digi and refuse to use it lol xx

@Lexber not sure of your story but that's such a shame, how far on we're u? I agree I'm terrified we suffered a chemical in June and I just knew I wasn't going to process with the tests being so faint 😭 my partner can't get excited at all! I see the line in that picture but I really think it may be an indent in person it's barely there and I'm 11dpo xx

@Vil10 nothing yet, my back pain has lessen a bit but I’ve been walking all day, I feel soooo wet/ moist, I feel I should put a panty liner or something, how about you?
@bez91 we are supposed to have the children club fun day tomorrow, in a field! for the after school club and holiday club ds goes to, there might not be a lot of point in the throw water ballons at the teachers if we are all soaked

@minster2012 lol in that case you leave your cervix alone!!!! 😂

@Laurenxx94 only 5 weeks with spotting so Altho excited I just couldn't settle and my intuition told me something wasn't right sadly

Just dropping in quickly because @Vil10 I know this one!! I had to repeat my prolactin too! It's likely that it's come back with a slightly higher than expected result and so they need a repeat to check if it's still high (or higher). Mine did, and so I had to go to the Endocrinology department to see if it was a prolactinoma (which is a non-cancerous lump on the pituitary gland, but it's very unlikely to be this). I had more blood tests done and they were satisfied it wasn't anything untoward. From what I remember it basically controls boob growth and milk production, which is why it's unusual for it to be raised unless you're super pregnant or breastfeeding.

@Laurenxx94 keeping my fingers crossed for you 🤞

@Lexber take care of yourself lovely ❤️ burns are horrible

@Vil10 realised everything I wrote sounded scary - all will be well. They're just double-checking. Mine had been regularly climbing for months, which caused the extra alarm bells to go off.

@Lexber exact same as me my intuition told me the same and also had spotting same as u, we're ure lines getting darker ? Mines wasn't which told me something too xx

@InkyPaper thankyou only
Time will tell which is the annoying part lol xx
