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 are you biting your time for ivf with the new job?

paintfairy · 03/08/2021 11:54

@MartyMcShy when you did iui, how old was your sperm before the wash? She told us (same last time) to produce at 7.30, have it there for 8.30 for washing, to be put into me at 9.30. We actually produced it at 8.15. But I'm wondering if there is actually a good reason for doing it earlier? 🤔 Yet I can't think of one. Fresher seems better in my mind?
@becarefuloutthere thank you
@Franklydear yes @Juno231 was delaying due to the job. So didn't know when to send the paperwork.

Franklydear · 03/08/2021 12:33

Bragging mother alert! Ds can now take a shower completely unsupervised!

Kirky658 · 03/08/2021 13:07

@franklydear ahhh bless him that's great!
@becarefuloutthere how are you getting on?
@vil10 exciting news on the house!

Some morning 🍆 this morning, incredibly entertaining at 34 weeks pregnant and in a caravan 🤣🤣🤣

becarefuloutthere · 03/08/2021 13:34

@Franklydear that's wonderful news!
@Kirky658 ok thanks, 11 weeks today!
Wow go you 😜

hellointhere · 03/08/2021 13:44

Hello everyone! I hope there's room on this bus for me. I am 31 and sadly miscarried yesterday. I was about 10 weeks, my first time pregnant.

Franklydear · 03/08/2021 14:15

@hellointhere of course there is, what a horrible pain, sadly a few of us had losses, talk to us if it helps

Minster2012 · 03/08/2021 15:04

@Franklydear 🙌🏻🥳

I'm at the beach with family & friends so can't do a big catch up but I'm limping in pain from my right side, started cramping & so could be coming on whilst wearing a bikini & not able to check 😫

Franklydear · 03/08/2021 15:37

@Minster2012 no, that’s terrible, I would be so uncomfortable while secretly trying to check

Cd 28 here, perfectly pale yellow creamy cm here, dollop of it when wiping

bez91 · 03/08/2021 16:05

Fab news on the showering @Franklydear 👍🏼

Welcome @hellointhere a few of us in the MC club, me included so you're not alone 🤗

@Minster2012 arggg what a pain, can you slope off somewhere discreetly?

AF just arrived, oh well least didn't waste a test 🤔🙁

Kirky658 · 03/08/2021 16:08

@minster2012 oh dammit, this has happened to me before, bloody irritating

@bez91 sorry AF has arrived!

Franklydear · 03/08/2021 16:29

@bez91 oh shit, damm it

Juno231 · 03/08/2021 16:39

@Minster2012 surely all you have to do is get in the water and see if the sharks frenzy?

@bez91 congrats on your dissertation! And yeah lol ignore the 90%-ers. My friends at uni who got firsts didn't seem to do any better career wise than the 2.1s and lost out on the uni experience by always killing themselves studying...so I feel I got a life lesson out of watching them lol.

@Franklydear yes I'm trying not to rush the paperwork so it works a bit better with the new job.

Somatronic · 03/08/2021 16:47

@Juno231 excellent point re shark test Grin

@bez91 sorry about the AF, and congratulations on the dissertation. Is there anything more annoying than doing a dissertation. Fair play to you for getting it done!

@hellointhere welcome, and I'm very sorry to hear about the loss you had yesterday. Look after yourself xx

Well I had the hycosy done. Everything is normal, tubes, ovaries, womb etc all good. I asked if she saw any cysts and she said no sign at all of polycystic ovaries so I guess the metformin is working? Would be great if the acne and beard would go away too haha.

Anyway so that's good news. I presume the issue may be ovulation? Dunno if I ovulate cos I keep missing the correct time to test due to irregular periods.

paintfairy · 03/08/2021 16:52

@Somatronic excellent! Glad it wasn't too bad.
@Minster2012 omg. But the sharks.... 🦈🤣 I hope you manage!
@bez91 bugger.

hellointhere · 03/08/2021 18:03

Thank you @somatronic @bez91 @franklydear for warm welcome.

My emotions and physical pain are going in waves. It's nice to have people on here to chat to and such a big thread to read through!
May I ask, when did you feel ready ttc after mc?

Franklydear · 03/08/2021 18:23

@hellointhere immediately, I was afraid that if I stopped that would be it, was very tempting to make it it, as it happens that was last November so, I didn't need worry

Minster2012 · 03/08/2021 18:43

@Juno231 🦈attack didn't happen thank god!! I did go in the sea but with 3 kids around me I couldn't check! However @paintfairyi did slope off for a toilet run to check & actually I've got ewcm?! But I guess was it @bez91 that got that the other day & sorry to hear AF has now arrived. But genuinely I've got shooting pains & stitch like pains all right side, so I'm actually going "oooooo" and doubling up???

@Vil10 what are your OV pains like?

@hellointhere welcome! I'm also one who had a MC in may & went straight onto trying again lije @Franklydear

blackcurrantqueen · 03/08/2021 18:45

@hellointhere hello and welcome, sorry you find yourself here in difficult circumstances, but it's a lovely and welcoming little community.
Though often getting in trouble for our bus names 😂

bez91 · 03/08/2021 20:13

@Minster2012 yes it was me just yesterday. It wasn't normal EWCM it was the "white snake" EWCM 😆 That sounds very uncomfortable 🙁 maybe it could be ov pain? Have you done a OPK?

blackcurrantqueen · 03/08/2021 20:15

@Somatronic so sorry I somehow skipped your Hycosy! Glad it was okay, reassuring re the results but also frustrating I imagine- hopefully like you say it means that the metformin is already doing its job!!

Minster2012 · 03/08/2021 20:18

@bez91 it could be, this wasn't masses of ewcm but the most I've had this cycle 🤷🏼‍♀️CD26 today so no idea. I didn't do an OPK I'm afraid I didn't have any and though I had done a MONUMENTAL hold I then had an hour drive home and was busting 😂(with no reciprocal pots on me this time like usual!) 😂just gonna have sex and hope! We've not DTD much this cycle though

Minster2012 · 03/08/2021 20:20

I missed it too @Somatronic, is the metformin to try to regulate OV? But yeah it's good there's nothing bad going on

feliznavidad2 · 03/08/2021 20:50

Glad the hycosy was alright @Somatronic - was it painful? X

Franklydear · 03/08/2021 21:25

During the day I feel normal, but at night I have this uncomfortable not quite cramps feeling, I just wonder if this af coming, wonder if tomorrow morning will feel normal again? Haven’t had a cycle this long since last august, and if no af tomorrow, since coming off the pill.... I’ll probably test again Thursday or Friday, the frer yesterday was completely snowy
