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

@Juno231 not how I imagined it - literally my life story. 🤣
@Kirky658 oh no. That sounds awful. I hope they get on top of it soon. I'm glad Alice is doing well though, fingers crossed for cuddles soon!

I hate Xmas @Juno231 @Minster2012 🙈

I agree I'm sure it's nothing they haven't seen before @Juno231 - can you keep chasing them? Saw your update from today, I'd totally kick it back to HR and get them to help you.

Ooh thats a beautiful set of lines @Vil10 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Bloody sleep theif toddlers @feliznavidad2. What's the ultrasound meant to be for? Good it's all moving though.

Pleased you've been to the EPU and they're keeping an eye on you @polkadotpixie

Hi @fpurplea welcome along!

I'm in awe of that article @Sunbird24. Was going to ask about your scan and then saw your update. That is shit comms and shit expectations. Can you call and move it forwards? Or book a private one?

Oh lovely idea @Crazydoglady123, that'll be a lovely day!

Never say never @Minster2012, you know better than that. House vs IVF - I know what my viewpoint would be (one can wait, one can't!)...let's hope lack of anything means something?!

Don't know whether to congratulate you or sympathise @Juno231, I risked non condom sex on CD25 yesterday - looked afterwards and saw CD25 - no EWCM though so figured it was safe! Need to get back temping to be sure of these things!

Moister than an oyster @Vil10 love it 😂

Pass @paintfairy no idea, all such a mystery. Met a friend who's also on a TTC journey today and we agreed that if it were men then big pharmaceutical companies would have invented some way to fix hormone issues.

Sounds super tough @Kirky658 it's frustrating but at least you're in the right place. I'm sure you're missing Alice like crazy, can you FaceTime DH down there so it's almost like you're there?

I feel like I'm in proper limbo land, it's quite nice though, a break from reality!

I had a BFP in June!

@Isandriena well good for you - but how exactly is that appropriate to blurt out on here if you've never contributed to the thread before?

@Juno231 you don't need to be rude. I clearly missed something in the post about having to contribute to something

@Isandriena Well, to be fair it is pretty rude to barge onto a 45,000 post long running TTC thread with many women who are struggling to conceive or maintain pregnancies and announce your BFP!

Hi @Isandriena, your best bet is to take a look here www.mumsnet.com/Talk/birth_clubs and find a thread for the month you’re due.
Best of luck with your pregnancy, a lot of us are having a really rough journey with TTC so you touched a very raw nerve there I’m afraid.

@Isandriena

I had a BFP in June!

Congratulations I'm assuming you've not read any of the previous posts nor the previous threads as I can't imagine anyone posting on a TTC thread 2MONTHS after conceiving knowing full well the difficulties of TTC some of the wonderful ladies on this thread ?!

There will be a wonderful due in March or April thread willing to accept you with open arms, unfortunately this thread isn't the most suitable place for you to announce a BFP without even introducing yourself not acknowledging anyone else for that matter...

I genuinely hope it was a lack of thinking - pregnancy brain shall we say, and not a pure self centred approach to maliciously cause upset and hurt to anyone. And I wish you all the best in your pregnancy for a happy and healthy 9months.

🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼

*and what I really wanted to say....

Bitch purleeeeease - take your bull shit post of pure selfishness and don't let the door hit you on the way out...

But I bit my tongue like the polite motherfucker I am*

@Kirky658 bless you, so sorry you're going through all this. You're in the right place though xx

@Lexber 😂😂😂

@Isandriena congrats, but badly planned with that one unfortunately, not the right thread. Good luck.

AF for me today. At least she had the good manners to be on time 😏 Going to sit out the next cycle (said that last month and didn’t but I really, really am this time!). Need to sort my health out a bit and see how Covid goes when the schools go back.

Sorry the clinic’s being shit @Sunbird24. The worry must be horrible, especially as I imagine it’s hard to think of anything else.

Still got my fingers crossed for you @polkadotpixie. Did you manage your day out?

Any news on your knee @Minster2012? I absolutely use my rheumatoid to get a few hours on my own every now and then. Nothing better than sitting with your feet up and telling everyone else to fuck off and leave you to it (especially if there’s pizza and wine too).

Oh gosh I've forgotten most of what I read to catch up after read the last few posts! @Isandriena congratulations. Hope your pregnancy is going well. We are 46 threads deep on the conception board so probably not your people but the link shared should help.

@Sunbird24 bless your kindness given your circumstances. Can't believe how long you are been asked to wait for another scan. Could you take a cancellation? Would a call saying asmuch speed things along any I wonder?

@Vil10 you always seem to havesuch impressive opks!

@Minster2012 sorry about the bfn and that you don't think you have ovulated.

@Kirky658 you are really going through it. I hope you are back together again soon x

CD1 boo, but.....🗣🗣🗣 (can't find the usual tanoy emoji) it's over a year and a half since i came off the pill and I have just had my first 28 day cycle with ovulation on day 14!!!! Is this what it feels like to be normal? 🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂😂 that's all from me 🤐

All I can say is - WTAF bragging about BFP?!?
I know I'm talking about my birth a lot so 8 hope it doesn't trigger anyone please let me know if you'd like me to stop 😘

So the mri and ct looked fine 😏 so looks like it is just pre eclampsia. They're trying on oral meds now to try and get me off the drips so hopefully I can see my baby girl tomorrow 🤞

I know it’s woo, and I don’t even normally pay it any attention, but in the circumstances how can I not cling onto this like Rose with her piano lid?

@Kirky658 fingers crossed you’re all unhooked very soon for limitless cuddles with baby Alice. Don’t worry about posting about her, it’s nice to see long term passengers have a good result, makes the bus ride a little more bearable when you know it’s not completely pointless… (the company obviously helps too!)

@Minster2012 definitely take any opportunities to rest your knee and supervise instead of actively moving stuff!

@Minster2012 oh that's so frustrating on the kitchen thing, those cupboards must be very small, how odd for a kitchen!! How's the knee??

@Kirky658 I'm sorry it's been such a faff for you!! Just rest up and hopefully Alice will be back in your arms and you'll all be home soon enough! So glad your scans were all fine, now you focus on getting better x

@Juno231 @polkadotpixie @Sunbird24 @Lexber hahahahhaa yes girls, take a bloody bow👏🏼

@Manifestingbaby I mean I wish the strong opks meant I'd get pregnant, bloody stupid lines😂 sorry for af arriving but wooo to a normal cycle, I can't wait for one of those again😂

AF over here too, not caught up as just been on the floor in pain from knee buckling AGAIN and cramping. But it's 13 days after potential OV pain? So maybe something

@Sunbird24 everything crossed for you

Not catch up yet but this needs to be said

@Sunbird24 that's shit, we are supposed to have one of the best care systems in the world
@Kirky658 silver lining, you are expressing, hope everything is well soon
@Juno231 damm af, even if expected
@Minster2012 oh no, get sorted, I love troublesome toddlers, bit only cos I am a bad influence and encourage them 😂

@Isandriena you don't belong, find your tribe, and don't call names to the regulars

Oh so many afs today! @Kirky658 don't you dare deprive us of information and photos on our honorary niece

That card would keep me going too @Sunbird24 and I'm not into woo at all. I'm believing it'll happen for you too btw x

Could be your month @Vil10, no reason why not 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 when is OH's SA?

13 days after ov pain sounds suspiciously like a normal cycle @Minster2012, AF is shit but I'm all for a silver lining!

Hi @Franklydear I have nothing to say but enjoyed your meme!

Hey, looking to see if I can join in. Month 7 of TTC and I'm now 10dpo! Feeling rotten the last few days. I'm also normally a 27 day cycle and I'm now 4 days late but I ovulated late this month so not sure when to test and see🤔 on CD31 now and really wanting to test but think I'm just late🤷🏻‍♀️

@Aims1991 we do just that every time we are late, I had that this cycle, a few days of spotting and nothing to show for it, we’ve seen bfp at 10 dpo, but bfn wouldn’t be definitive, so, dunno
