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

@Franklydear Ano I will just hold off as long as possible to test. Been feeling rotten the last week, constant nausea and either cramp or pains in my stomach that come and go 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Aims1991 do you have tests in the house? I can’t stop myself from testing if I have any way of doing it - I’ll even use an OPK if I don’t have a HPT! 🤭

@Aims1991 I have that with pms sometimes, but not often enough that won’t get my hopes up, hopefully you’ll have a better reason to feel rotten

Wow so that's 4 of us on cd1 so is it? 😯 @GuessHowMuch, @Juno231, @Minster2012 and yours truly. We'll get the whole bus synchronised yet if we keep hanging out together 😂 sympathy to all. Especially you @Minster2012 with your poor knee 😢

@Sunbird24 I'd definitely be taking those good vibes woo or not!

@Vil10 ya my normal cycle didn't get me pregnant either but lets keep our fingers crossed for your super opk 😀

Welcome @Aims1991 good luck. You have more will power than I. And many a poas addict here.

@Kirky658 happy to support you, don't mind hearing your updates at all x

Ooh, fingers crossed we could be gearing up for some September BFPs!

@Sunbird24 you have to coordinate tests and we could have another supersaturday, remember we use to do them when they were trizillion of us?

@Franklydear @Sunbird24 @Manifestingbaby I don't have any tests that's probably why it's easier🤣

That's shit @paintfairy we care 💕 so what do the clinic say when you're already on progesterone when that happens?

@Kirky658 arghh that's tough, let them do their thing and it will be worth it although I know everyday feels like a lifetime when all you want to be is at home! If you're managing to express when you've not been with baby Alice your body is doing a super job 💪🏼

@Minster2012 hmmm maybe they used smaller plates in the 60s (think you said it was 60s build or might have dreamt that, whatever era the house is) that'd piss me right off too.

@Manifestingbaby yesssss to some kind of normal cycle 🥳

Sorry to CD1 ladies, there seems to be a good gaggle of you though so hopefully that's a good omen 😉

Welcome @Aims1991

Lol that post wouldn't you use an introduction accompanied with that one liner no matter the audience 😆

Got first MC counselling session tomorrow, feel a bit nervous actually 🙈 I'm wondering if they'll ask me things or I'll have to lead the conversation. I'm
Hoping not 😬

@bez91 start by the beginning, it will all come out

@bez91 they won't even follow this cycle up. When I mentioned it after the first iui when i went back the 2nd time, i didn't really get a response. I'll mention it at the ivf clinic but whether anyone actually will acknowledge it, I don't know.

Omg. Just caught up this afternoons posts. WTAF? I don't think I can add anything that hasn't already been said. I love the polite but clearly angry replies.
"Piss off back under your bridge" are the only words I'll add.
@Kirky658 don't be ridiculous! Firstly we've not had many updates at all! And secondly of course we are all invested in what's happening with you/Alice. Do not be apologising here young lady! 🤣

@paintfairy that’s awful 😡

Welcome @Aims1991 - everyone on here is just going to tell you to POAS!! A bunch of addicts I'm afraid...!

New meaning to the wheels on the bus I think @Manifestingbaby!

I love hearing about Alice @Kirky658 but I'm lucky enough to already have DS so in a different position to others. And also very much hoping you're OK so good to hear from you.

@bez91 it might get easier to talk once you start talking? And that it might be easier as it's a stranger? Strong advice from @Franklydear too, start from the beginning.

Have you got time lines on IVF @paintfairy or do you need to still choose the clinic?

A friend of mine was telling me about a dr and clinic she really rates in a nearby city so i think I'll get a recommendation next spring after trying again for a few months.

@larrythelizard haha I was for a while but I just can't take the disappointment. I went 4 months not using test because I didn't buy any🤣🤣

One for the fellow addicts - this is what happens when you POA OPK at 8-9 weeks with a Schrodinger baby…

@Sunbird24 omg! Check out that line!

You're a stronger woman than me @Aims1991

Schrodinger sunbird, deffo got a ring to it @Sunbird24!

I finished virgin river s3 today, I'm a bit meh about the ending, I expected more!!

Agree with you on Virgin River @larrythelizard, I binge watched the whole lot in a weekend and still couldn’t remember half the people’s names or back stories

I loved virgin river @larrythelizard but season 3 was somewhat miserable.

How bloody frustrating @paintfairy have you decided for sure on a clinic yet?

Very true @Franklydear @larrythelizard thanks ladies! Good to have ideas in the pipeline @larrythelizard for next steps if needed

@paintfairy you must feel a bit like everyone is just going through the motions. Hopefully the ivf clinic will be more proactive. Sorry this is a bit insensitive but your post about spotting made me realise i didn't spot this cycle either. I don't always but just adding that to the normal cycle list. Didn't get me pregnant but silver linings! The inconsistency of my cycles drives me mad!

@Sunbird24 crazy opk!

@Aims1991 need to take a leaf out of your book. Think I've only not test a couple of times and pretty much because af showed up early and caught me off gaurd!

@bez91 good luck with the counselling. Just let go, let all the crazy out. It'll do you good x

@larrythelizard @bez91 no still haven't picked a clinic. 🤣🤣🤣 I'm waiting til Wednesday when I know for sure I need it (might as well now) but then I'm going to have to eeny meeny miny mo it and pick one! 🤣
@Manifestingbaby I definitely will mention it strongly at my first appointment. See if I can get any sense. But yeah it feels like no one gives a shit really. Like pot luck? 🤣 I never haven't spotted but it does vary! This month I actually started straight away after iui (sometimes do after ovulation) but the progesterone did appear to stop it. Until now. I wonder if I do it when hormones change?

@larrythelizard @bez91 @Juno231 ooohh actually- I just did something people never probably do. Read the inspection reports. That's an eye opener. The one with better stats has many more things listed that they are doing that they shouldn't be! Massively high multiple birth rate for one. And not reporting this was another. Its got more issues than the other one noted. Including out of date drugs on the trolley......

@paintfairy maybe spotting is your body's go to tantrum, mine is bloating! And mood swings actually. Anything happening cycle wise and I'm bloated and cranky! Omg that report is a bit of a shocker! That could be the clincher
