TTC Bus 46 - where we're all off on our holidays (let's hope that means more BFPs - rubbish results for July!)

[larrythelizard]

Mad scramble from the opposite side of the country to where I normally live to keep the bus running as @minster2012 still has connectivity issues. I'm on holiday in Suffolk with only limited signal so very likely to have missed people, particularly any newbies - it's not personal, I'm very sorry and in exchange I won't charge you for the ticket!

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...let's hope this one has more BFPs and more house luck!

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...although has a lot on her plate at the moment! #shamelessplug

@larrythelizard

Wow @Juno231 shit comms there. I bet as you're 'discharged' then they won't even discuss with you. Have you sent the IVF paperwork back now?

Haha @Somatronic @paintfairy @bez91 yeah they just found a puddle of sperm in an in tray somewhere 😂😂😂

Good reminder @Somatronic I need to get DH back on the supplements in anticipation for Jan!

I'm loathe to take anything - since stopping taking any supplements/vitamins my cycle seems to have extended so im back on a double digit LP...!

Sounds like my DH @Franklydear he's a nightmare for ignoring sat nav - I don't even know what he's doing to ignore it!

Poor little chap @GuessHowMuch

@Juno231 wtf? I mean, it won't likely make a difference ivf wise. But how do they just never mention that until now? Yeah nothing is wrong, it's all fine. 🤦‍♀️

@larrythelizard this was on foot, we were literally 10 min away, I could see the bloody building, still we had to go that way, and so walking through suburban streets for no reason for nearly an hour,I swear sometimes his aim is just to wind me up

@becarefuloutthere okay fab! So no sex after the 6th!

@Juno231 I'm not entirely sure, it was OH's plan😂 he made it off this chart he got with his letter, I'll attach it!

@Juno231 also how annoying with the letter that this is the first you've heard?? How shit are they!

@Juno231 omg sorry of course you did! It was close to mine in fact, how could I forget 🤦🏾‍♀️ it's crazy how it just makes you feel like that after so long fighting! Ivf paperwork is in now tho right so things are still moving for you?

@Vil10 yup! Bless him with his plan 😆

@Bookbug92 that story is so funny! I did something similar before. Mortifying.

@Juno231 that's mad about the letter about the ovary size. It's mad how little they tell us sometimes. I once got my hands on all the letters my endocrinologist sent to my GP and it was interesting to see how she was saying completely different things to the GP compared to what she said to me at my appointments.

And yes I was on Clomid for three months from February this year. I had day 21 bloods done the second month and I ovulated but didn't conceive obviously. I didn't do follicle tracking or a booster shot either though so I'm hoping that will make the difference this time.

Wow @Minster2012 🤢 raw bacon, whatever next?! 😆 hope your leg is feeling a bit better today

Hope you're OK @Kirky658 and you're being well looked after  sounds like you're in the right place

I'm sorry to hear that @Sunbird24 hope you're being gentle with yourself and that growth has caught up to your dates by your next scan. x

That's a good story @Bookbug92 made me have a little snigger to myself 😆 😂 re. Blood test - I didn't get round to contacting them today, will tomorrow. Fab news that it appears you've ovulated though.

Glad the photos went well @Vil10 - that's quite something being complimented by the photographer as they must see loads of houses 🤩

8DPO here, mid afternoon, the palest urine you've ever seen and still spotting, I decided to POAS... coz why not. 🤨🥴 Obviously BFN. 🙄 when will I learn? Got a killer headache this eve and I've decided that's due to being pregnant too. 😆

Once a symptom spotter, always a symptom spotter. The shame. 🙈

Cd30 progesterone bloods back 2.5? Next one's booked for cd37 so see if there's any increase... No signs of af but with all the stress lately I'm not surprised.
@Kirky658 hope your ok X sending all the hugs
@Minster2012 how you doing with your knee?

@vil10 ah no that says to def not have sex in the two days before and to def not let his swimmers be more than 7 days old. It does not mean he can't have sex before that 7 day window :) so to summarise, only abstain 2-3 days before the SA for best results!

@larrythelizard @becarefuloutthere yup I mailed it yesterday!

@Juno231 good going! Hope you get to start in the time range you want. When's your notice up again?

Sorry not fully caught up but @kirky658 hope you are being taken care of x

@Sunbird24 I'm so sorry to read your update. So sad one didn't make it. Hope your second little one is a fighter ❤ I'm so sorry you have such an anxious wait ahead of you x

Hi ladies it is deffo pre eclampsia. BP was 203/106 when admitted. Coming down now it lookslike she will be c section in next few days. DH been allowed to stay which is a huge relief. Feeling very poorly but in the best place. X

@kirky658 so glad DH is allowed to stay with you, you will have your bundle of joy here real soon now! Hope your ok and glad your being looked after xx

Aww @Kirky658 sorry to hear about the pre eclampsia but it will be nice to see baby in just a few weeks and it's good you're in hospital being taken care of! How many weeks are you at now?

Just a few days even 😅

Can I hop on? I've been using early detection tests and some days I get a very faint line (although usually after half an hour) other days I get nothing so I have no idea if I am or not. Anyone else had this? I don't know how I can be pregnant if I'm still getting negative tests. AF was due yesterday but I can be out by a few days. Good luck to everyone x

@2020mission I'm 35 weeks as of midnight lol. BP has come down now so just fixing on and off.

I think the guide is above 30 indicates ov @Dollybird89 so maybe not there yet with your longer cycles?

@Kirky658 glad BP is down, that's great they've let DH stay. Hope you're feeling better in the morning, must feel strange baby could be here so soon!

3am, got a temperature and feel meh so come downstairs to sit in the dark with some ready salted crisps 😆 Been feeling off for a few days (thought a long hangover) fatigue, cough, sore throat etc. Taken 3 LFTs since Sunday all negative 🤦🏼‍♀️

Thanks for your kind words all. As my BP is now down they've decided to induce me for a natural birth! Apparently I'm having contractions but I had no idea... I'll need a epidural as the pain is likely to send BP sky high again, wanted to avoid but it is what it is. Just trying to get some sleep now, DH is dead to the world lol x

Morning @Kirky658, glad your BP has come down, hope everything goes as smoothly as it can and you have your little one safely in your arms very soon!

@Kirky658 try to sleep if you can, hope the induction goes well
@walkychalky if the lines are after 5 min they’ll be indentation lines, the test is invalid, but if af is still due, it’s still early

@paintfairy still angry fairy today? Gotta say I love that as a new name

@kirky658 I'm just super glad they caught the pre eclampsia and that you're in safe hands. Crazy that you'll see your baba so soon ❤️

@becarefuloutthere my last day is 1st of Oct so it's ages away...

@walkychalky what brand are you using and are you testing at different times of day? How confident are you of your ovulation date?

Well this gets you out of the last week at work @Kirky658! Hope you're OK, how exciting that baby girl is on her way! 💕💕💕 💕💕

Oh good work @Juno231 that's a step in the right direction, even though you cant start yet.
