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

@Juno231 it’s the nhs one, and that’s what I thought

Franklydear · 31/07/2021 11:45

@Laurenxx94 I mastered it after 24 cycles of disappointment, too scare to test now

Lexber · 31/07/2021 12:38

Hahaha @bez91 I'm so rock and roll! Just seen your Instagram and I was in pretty much the exact same spot yesterday in my car with a costa from next 🤣🤣 also getting boob pain - random aches...

Aww that's so nice of you @Juno231 I can imagine his face!

🤞🏼@Laurenxx94 im about 8dpo

@blackcurrantqueen I hope DH is feeling better soon and little one is ok too!

@Franklydear we are all here with comfy hands for you! I'm crampy as hell and feel meh. Feeling very similar to last month too.. noticed more and softer bowel movement and more wind again too (again same as last month) but darent get my hopes up... it's so hard isn't it!!

Fingers crossed all goes well at hospital @Dollybird89 we are all here whatever happens, try and forget the argument. And yay 🍆

@Minster2012 I always found parties for the girls so exhausting but so worth it!! As they got older I could have more fun with themes too... a few years back I did a Harry Potter one for the eldest and made everything myself and a Alice In Wonderland one for the youngest..

Laurenxx94 · 31/07/2021 13:13

Well ladies , tested again 3 hour hold, 12dpo
If I compare my test from after missed period when I had my chemical it was lighter than this and I was 15dpo then. Hoping that's a good sign. Along with my other symptoms.
Hope everyone else's is around the corner 💚 just need to hope and pray this is a sticky bean x

Here I go again...TTC Bus 45 - blood sucking dungeons, whitesnake and angry cervixes all welcome...
dmb91 · 31/07/2021 13:13

Hi all, been sitting in the corner of the bus but catching up everyday.
It’s now 29 days since implant removal, no sign of AF, no spotting either (I was expecting a withdrawal bleed that never came).
Was told cycle should return to normal straight away but I never really had a regular cycle before implants were fitted.
How do I know if I’m late? Should I take a test? Or wait longer to see if AF does come?

Juno231 · 31/07/2021 13:25

@Laurenxx94 omg that looks great!! Let's hope this is your sticky bean 👏

@dmb91 your first cycle off the implant will be a pure guessing game. I'd say odds are you're not late yet, it can take quite a while after the implant for cycles to go back to normal from what I gather

Kirky658 · 31/07/2021 13:27

@laurenxx94 omg deffo a line, looks clearer, hoping for a sticky bean babe ❤️

@dmb91 unfortunately when I had the implant out my cycle took months to return to normal. I had the mirena coil removed last June and it took till September for my cycles to settle down again.

Dollybird89 · 31/07/2021 13:41

I've got mind block lol, any questions you ladies think I should ask at my appointment?

Dollybird89 · 31/07/2021 13:42

@dmb91 unfortunately it took 11months for my cycles to restart after implant x

Minster2012 · 31/07/2021 13:45

@Laurenxx94 that looks great!! Wooo!!

Well ladies we have a bouncy castle, so far we have weather. We have rainbow food & decorations we only need guests now

Lexber · 31/07/2021 14:55

Love bouncy castles @Minster2012 hope DE has a great party!!

Well today I feel ridiculously crampy, sickly, and irritable... only 8/9dpo got my static smiley 22nd on CD13 and CD22 today also keep getting random boob pain in my right boob and looking back last month I had sore right boob pain lol

I could quite happily just fall asleep where I am today! And OH prob wouldn't mind as I will stop being a pain in his ass if I'm asleep 🤣🤣

Laurenxx94 · 31/07/2021 15:02

Ah thankyou ladies. I can't get excited until I see some sort of line progression just because of past experience 😭 got a lot of symptoms tho so hopefully that's a good sign and a good line for 12dpo thankyou for all your kind words xx

Dollybird89 · 31/07/2021 15:13

Well had bloods taken today and got to have then done once a week for next 3 weeks or until period comes, then another one on cd2. Then wait for follow up with consultant. Sperm analysis won't be for months due to backlog and covid. She did mention weight but wasn't too negative about it, just that it needs to come down some more. So not too bad tbh.

Laurenxx94 · 31/07/2021 15:17

@Dollybird89 that's good, the sperm analysis is a pain to wait for hopefully won't be too long! How r u feeling now? Xx

Lexber · 31/07/2021 16:33

Currently in the back of the van having 40 winks while OH is in the shops, after he had to pull over suddenly as I nearly threw up outside home bargains 🤣🤣

Cue hiding behind the door next to a bush heaving - he left the van engine in so no one would hear me 🤣🤣🤣 FML

Juno231 · 31/07/2021 17:12

@Dollybird89 that all sounds positive!

@Laurenxx94 honestly I think try and focus on "today I am pregnant" and try and be happy with your BFP ❤️. The lines could be stellar and it still end badly so they don't really mean anything xxx

Franklydear · 31/07/2021 17:13

@Laurenxx94 that is good progression in such a short time!
@Dollybird89 all positive
I am the same, nothing, yet

Laurenxx94 · 31/07/2021 17:26

@Juno231 thanks I will focus on that ❤️ boobs are tingly sore so hoping that's good !

@Franklydearyeah I thinkso too! Thanks xx

bez91 · 31/07/2021 17:45

Impressive @Juno231 that's lovely of you! I wouldn't know where to start with a PlayStation these days.

Hope the party went ok and you have made up with DH @Minster2012

Oh @blackcurrantqueen seen your IG ☹️ take is DD tested positive too? Sending love 💕 poorly households are no fun! Hope you're ok!

@Franklydear I think you should come down off the fence and test 😊

Kirky658 · 31/07/2021 17:55

@lexber oh god 😂😂 hope you're feeling OK now?

@minster2012 hope that the party is going well!

Been swimming today, swam 40 lengths, bloody shattered now. Off to Wales tomorrow for little holiday x

larrythelizard · 31/07/2021 18:13

I'm on holiday with DH's family for a week so will be dipping in and out. Lions is on for the grown ups, cousins all in the playroom!

Ooh @Laurenxx94 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Hope X had a fab party @Minster2012. I'd be killing DH in your shoes! How's the fuckboy body?

Good news first round of bloods are normal @Vil10. Didn't @InkyPaper get prolactin tested? Oh just kept reading and I saw she answered, I'm impressed I remembered!

11 weeks is annoying @bez91 but presumably some people on the list will get pregnant so might happen sooner? (Maybe even you?! 🤞🏼)

Ooh I hadn't heard of sizzling steak wotsits @Lexber but now I really want some!

Sounds a lovely trip @Kirky658! Have you booked somewhere nice to stay?

Mixed feelings completely normal @InkyPaper and completely expected, we're here to listen.

What an impressive wife you are @Juno231! I think we're on 4 weeks+ since 🍆 - DH naturally a bit lazy and I've been ill. Thankfully our bedroom quite tucked away so will get some this weekend at some point!

Sounds a good appt @Dollybird89, you're off the starting blocks now!

Get off the fence @Franklydear and POAS, I was on tenterhooks catching up on the thread!

What about you @Vil10 how's the RHR etc today?

@Lexber this is sounding eerily similar to last month you know... 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

I am finding this week a bit tough as it's been booked in for ages and I never considered that I wouldn't be pregnant on it. Humph. And now we're not even trying, roll on March!!

paintfairy · 31/07/2021 18:40

@Lexber hope the burn is feeling better. Ouch!
@Laurenxx94 great news! Fingers crossed for you.
@InkyPaper @Juno231 @Vil10 they never even tested my prolactin. So who even knows about that. Funny how it differs at much?
@Dollybird89 sounds positive! And there's still time to carry on with the losing weight anyway. You've done great.

I'm cd whatever. And having some alcohol. Fuck it all. 🤣 I've decided to treat myself to a new horse if I can't have a baby. Speaking of which @crazydoglady how are you? Is everything OK?

Franklydear · 31/07/2021 19:03

@bez91 @larrythelizard I'll test if I can stop going to the loo every 40 min, DH wants me to wait till cd 28 at least, something about a normal cycle length...

bez91 · 31/07/2021 19:15

Good effort on the swimming @Kirky658 that's fab!

@larrythelizard looks lovely, where are you? Enjoy and catch up on missed 🍆! Hahah maybe. I know what you mean about those weird events like holidays. The wedding we went to a few weeks ago we thought at the time of booking the hotel room like 16 months ago that we may be pregnant/with baby, it's really shit 💕

I've just checked out of interest @InkyPaper @Juno231 @Vil10 @paintfairy and also didn't get my prolactin tested 🤷‍♀️ maybe it doesn't mean a lot or mine and @paintfairy docs are incompetent

@paintfairy enjoy 🥂 I'm on the alcohol free beer with DH as he's on call so moral support 😆 sounds reasonable, get pissed up buy another horse 🐴

Ok @Franklydear your DH sounds very sensible 😉 I'm waiting it out with you
