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

@Vil10 glad you got all your blood data back! I don't understand any of the numbers though. I can get now why they think it's easier to initially just say "normal results" it's not easy to follow unless you're really clued up on it all.

Vil10 · 02/08/2021 15:27

@Minster2012 @clolo it's a joke all this shit! Could it make a difference that I started spotting only 2 days after the tests and af arrived 4 days after the blood tests? I always got that progesterone peak boob soreness and everything, and I've always got loads of ewcm, strong opks and ovulation pains, just shows what a true fuck boy my body is😂 I'll definitely be asking them, Thankyou!!

@2020mission I'm so clueless!! I just run to you lot for help😂

Franklydear · 02/08/2021 15:35

Well, I am child free, and home alone until DH finish work, capuccino and movie while I wait, should be doing housework really

@Vil10they say normal cos it doesn't invite any more questions, fuckers, glad everything looks good, and insist on the correct test next time
@Dollybird89 you too darling, at least a decent look, hoping for some answers, maybe what I should be doing is exercising, now that I think of you

Love you all, always there for me no matter what, a little longer for that handhold, until I know what's what

Franklydear · 02/08/2021 15:59

@Minster2012 you need to get over the parking thread 3, cf has made contact, you won't get anything done this evening

bez91 · 02/08/2021 16:14

How exciting. Hope you love the house @Vil10 sounds ideal with family being close by too! On the results like @Juno231 it's bizarre how much is varies based on the trust so abnormal results for one may be normal for another trust 🤦🏼‍♀️ I think it varies greatly for each woman too though, some women probably ov at 20 whereas for others it's probably 30, they look good though! Same as Juno my GP said 30 to me for ovulation but I think you need another set of bloods to compare it to.

@Franklydear your DS free night sounds epic 👌🏼 enjoy it whilst it lasts

What's EWCM at 13dpo, fuckboy body 🙄

Lexber · 02/08/2021 17:12

When you let the kids open your Amazon delivery and don't realise Amazon put your twin pack of first response tests with the 24pk Cherryade... 🤦🏽‍♀️ and the 14 year old pulls them out asking "erm what are these mum..."

Que quick thinking and telling them they were ordered for my pregnant mate in April but only just arrived too late.. luckily I ordered some in April and the younger of the 2 requested proof... 🤣🤣🤣

Franklydear · 02/08/2021 17:14

@Lexber little detectives! Ds has one better today, he twin brother

Franklydear · 02/08/2021 17:24

He wants a twin brother

Lexber · 02/08/2021 17:36

Haha @Franklydear bless him!!

Well my pair had recently been arguing over if they want a baby brother or sister - can I just point out we have not agreed to this nor are they aware we are TTC...

The eldest wants a brother the youngest wants a sister 🤷🏽‍♀️

Franklydear · 02/08/2021 17:49

@Lexber don’t be silly, if it’s a girl we send her back, not that he knows there’s a chance, unless she’s an older sister, that would be cool, wouldn’t it just?

paintfairy · 02/08/2021 18:05

@Vil10 if AF arrived only 4 days after the blood tests then the progesterone test was done slightly late likely. My drs said over 30 to confirm ovulation. But if yours was done late then 23 is maybe OK, as it would have been on its way back down. Ideally you need one done at the right time to confirm.
@Manifestingbaby I'm sorry you feel like that. It is tough. And a hard decision. I actually don't want ivf. And if I was younger I'd stop everything and live my life. See what happens. But I need to decide if we really want this or not because time is not on my side.

Somatronic · 02/08/2021 18:10

I did my last progesterone test on day 21 of what turned out to be a 35 day cycle. The result was that I had no progesterone Blush

Might it have been OK if I'd done it a week late I wonder or am I just not ovulating?

Vil10 · 02/08/2021 19:01

@Franklydear they are fuckers aren't they!! Handhold for however long you need❤️

@bez91 I think because af arrived only 4 days after I had bloods it might've been a little late, so I'm going to ask if I can have them re done!

@paintfairy what a pain!! Since having covid my cycles have been weird, before covid it wouldn't be an issue I'd have known exactly when I'd be due!! How frustrating!! I'm going to ask for them to be done again, and to have my day 3 ones actually done on day 3!

So we absolutely loved the house!! You know when you just get that feeling when you walk in, we're going to put an offer in tomorrow!

Lexber · 02/08/2021 19:03

I'm an idiot - evening testing on 11dpo (possibly 10 I'd ovulated the next day) and obviously a BFN 🤦🏽‍♀️

Why did I bother?!

Tried to convince myself there was a very very very faint line but let's be honest there probably wasn't...

Franklydear · 02/08/2021 19:04

We are watching telly, waiting for a shittone of kebab ish food, god help us, bless him he wanted to go out but knackered from work so home alone is just as good, right?

Franklydear · 02/08/2021 19:05

Oh @Lexber you'll have to wait it out with me

paintfairy · 02/08/2021 19:29

@Vil10 house sounds exciting! Sometimes with irregular cycles they'll arrange one on day 18, 21, 24 or whatever, to try and catch it. But it depends how bothered they are.
Frustrating about your cycles. I haven't even bothered having it, I can't afford for it to ruin mine.

InkyPaper · 02/08/2021 19:43

@Vil10 glad you're feeling better today! It's the best feeling when you find the right house! Hope it all goes well for you 😄

@Minster2012 @clolo awesome, thanks! I was hoping it'd be something like that. I had momentary visions of it having to follow my ridiculous cycle and panicked 😂

@Somatronic hope your jab goes well today

feliznavidad2 · 02/08/2021 20:21

@Manifestingbaby it was quite a lot, deffo more than spotting but it's totally stopped now so who knows... 🤷‍♀️ 🤷‍♀️

Will try and catch up with everything later or tomorrow.

Congrats on the BFP @Laurenxx94 and fab re. finding potentially a new home @Vil10 - it's so lovely when you just think 'this is the one!' Good luck with your offer x

Somatronic · 02/08/2021 20:25

Thanks for the well wishes about the vaccine! I was fine after the first one but this time I feel generally strange, my hands and feet are freezing and I have nausea and diarrhoea.

Hopefully I'll be OK for my hycosy tomorrow.

Minster2012 · 02/08/2021 21:12

Woooo lots to catch up on this afternoon!

@InkyPaper when I first did my egg collection I hadn't even had my withdrawal bleed from my depo contraception, they did the whole thing (collection, fertilisation, freezing) and I never even had a period before going back on the depo! Then the other times they brought it on, it won't stop them, they want your eggs 🤣😂

@Franklydear we are always here for you, and I need to read that thread now as I actually had stuff to do this evening!

@Lexber OMG brilliant. Asked for proof. Class! But you need to try on the morning right??

@Somatronic / @Vil10 see even the "day 21" tests are a sodding emotional minefield

@Vil10 did you love the house then??!!

@Somatronic You'll boss the hycosy!

Lexber · 02/08/2021 21:16

@Minster2012 I'm going to leave it a few days I think... unless I get a feeling beforehand lol

Minster2012 · 02/08/2021 21:38

@Lexber maybe DC will get a feeling?!

Lexber · 02/08/2021 22:03

@Minster2012 only feelings in this house are hormones tonight!!
Eldest is hormonal as due on, you heater is winding her up plus onset of her own hormones...

I'm so tired I feel shit and just sat crying for no reason whatso ever other than I'm tired 🤷🏽‍♀️

Oh and OH is a hormonal knob when his sugars are high 🤣🤣🤣

Juno231 · 02/08/2021 22:14

@Somatronic yeah deffo - if your AF was in CD 35 you prob should have been tested around CD28. CD21 def would have shown no ovulation!

@vil10 yay for the house! I really hope you get it ❤️. BTW I know you said your AF arrived early but didn't you get a peak opk yo indicate ovulation as well? So annoying that when you need it to cooperate your body just decides to give you a wonky cycle 😩
