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

Mute the chat @Vil10 I would ! Xxx

@minster2012 I'm on cd43 .. had results from bloods last week and progesterone had not shifted.. was still only 2.5 got another test tomorrow. Still waiting on care home contracts being finalized but now facing more hurdles to jump through. I'm loosing my rag being hounded with questions and crap from his current shitty carer... And I gotta go stay at my dad's for the weekend coz he has no carers at all

@bez91 happy anniversary!
@Vil10 no scan photos to see over here at least. 🤣 Yeah, your friends/work people all sound a bloody nightmare. I suppose one thing with being old is- all your friends aren't actually getting pregnant. 🤷‍♀️
@Justanothercyster that sounds really thoughtful! And no, I don't think not looking forward to the party is strange. It might be ok though once it's happening. Sometimes it is!

No AF yet here. Stopped the progesterone as from yesterday AM. Should be here today technically. I thought it was earlier but I'm just spotting with random twinges. Rhr remains low.
I've posted my ivf paperwork! 🎉 It took 2 weeks to make a decision! And I've gone on nothing more than gut feeling in the end. 🤣 But I've just dropped it in the postbox. So I can stop scrutinising every Google search, fb search, mn search 50 times over trying to make up my mind. I'm exhausted. 🤣

@paintfairy ah well done! Did you go with the @InkyPaper one or the other one?

@bez91 happy anniversary! I did chuckle at the amount of chocolates I saw on insta

@larrythelizard brilliant work on the weight loss and all that exercising!

@Juno231 I went with the @InkyPaper one 😁

@Minster2012 @Lexber @Vil10 @larrythelizard @paintfairy thanks ladies, I'm sure it'll be fun. It's Greatest Showman themed as he loves that film, so I've got him a ringmaster costume and just trying to think of one for myself- I'm quite big already! I was going to do the bearded lady but by the sounds of it everyone else it already 🙈

@Vil10 not gna lie, im getting excited for you 👀

@paintfairy yay for the paperwork! Finally things are coming together🎉

Well done @paintfairy gut feeling is a good thing to go on 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

@larrythelizard I don't think so, I think by the opk I deffo ovulated 3 days ago, I think my body is just playing silly beggars!

@Lexber nothing has been said yet but when it does I'll just reply once then mute it, can't be arsed reading it😂

@paintfairy hahah very true!! Wooo to sending off ivf papers!! Do you feel like a weights been lifted now??

@Justanothercyster ohhh I love the greatest showman too!! That'll be amazing! I can't wait to see the pics on your insta! Hahaha don't be too excited!

So turns out going out for dinner with old work friends was just what I needed and I feel so much better now!! Also the house went up for sale today and already got 2 viewings next Monday!!

@Justanothercyster that sounds so fantastic!!
my DH doesn't like the film, so annoying

@paintfairy yessss for sending it off, another step done but I'll sorry the IUI stage isn't done yet, frustrating

@Vil10 def mute the chat, you don't need it. Maybe you have long Covid?? Sounds like you need the chill weekend

@Dollybird89 keep going, one foot at a time. Keep going darling, you got this. All of it

@Lexber prob is all the sex!! Keep going though

To whoever said yes to the gu, we'll it's been DS & I today isolating after he got sent home yesterday early from preschool with a get this 0.1 degree higher temp than their isolation level FFS so I had to get him tested and was worried our wedding at the weekend was gonna be off but got the negative at lunch so I've only gone & broken my heart & got his hair cut after he said he wanted his hair short for the first time EVER 😭😭& we've got fish n chips on the way home & I shall eat the gu when he's in bed as DH working tonight

@Vil10 just seen your update that's awesome whoop whoop

Pleased you're back on the up @Vil10...and also pleased to hear you have viewings!!

Gosh @Minster2012 you really are having non stop drama! Bless him wanting all his hair cut, bet he looks like a teenager now. Does this mean you get both gu's?

@Minster2012 you cut his hair? You monster! Lol, hope he likes it, did you open the gu in the end? Lucky the test coming back quickly, nurseries and schools are a nightmare with isolations
@Vil10 yes on the house, and the friends, that was an early dinner though, mute the others, pronto

Got a bit of creamy cm blob coming out and also pee every 20 min, I am considering calling it ovulation....

Evening all
Sorry I've been so crap, life has been hectic!
Still here reading and floating along with you all xxx

@Vil10 yes a relief! I felt i was spinning in circles. Excellent news about the house viewings!
@Minster2012 a hair cut? Oh nooooo! 🤣 and yeah AF is being a bitch. Lazy month i wanted it to delay a day. Now I'm like get on with it, and nothing. 🤣 I did do an IC Tuesday though so it should be coming. Just in its own time. 🙄

I'll put it on Insta one of my friends (who I met on MN when we did the ivf for him went OMG he looks 32!) 🤣🤣

@paintfairy did you actually expect anything else from the witch?!

All the drama @larrythelizard but yeah guess what it's just a cold remember them 😆🤦🏼‍♀️Cos he ain't coughing & we've all had snotty noses ffs

Just been to gu heaven, DH says he's back at midnight, nope I will leave it til tomorrow.
Promise.
Ask me again in the morning if it lasted 🤣mmmmm caramel and mousse

Right onto name stamping school wear

Rock n roll ladies

@paintfairy woooop! 🙌 Bet that felt like a weight off your shoulders when you finally out that paperwork in the post!

@Justanothercyster a Greatest Showman party sounds amazing! I wouldn't worry about not inviting that person, if your DH wouldn't want them there anyway I wouldn't feel guilty about it.

@Kirky658 the biggest of hugs for you lovely ❤️ fingers crossed you'll be feeling much better soon

@Vil10 hurray for house viewings! I'm with the others: mute that chat for a while

@Minster2012 aww bless ya, sounds like you've had a long day! Glad your DS got a negative result

@blackcurrantqueen hope you're OK!

I've been following along, but haven't felt like I've had anything to say. Nothing (literally nothing) is happening right now. A couple of days ago the IVF clinic added us to their patient portal system and that's been it. Caught myself trying to work out if I might be ovulating earlier, which is madness as it's near impossible for natural conception at this point 😂 sorry for being crap! Hope everyone's doing OK

Ooh yay for viewings @Vil10 that's awesome 👏🏼👏🏼

@Minster2012 I hope it works out ok! Btw DSs haircut - I can't cope with how grown up he looks now!! So sweet

@InkyPaper yeah just hoping we won't see him 🙈 he lives far enough away so shouldn't be too hard!
Hope things start rolling quicker for you soon, it drags doesn't it sometimes

Yayyy glad you got it send off @paintfairy about time 😉

@Vil10 yesss viewings already! That's really positive, everything crossed it will be SSTC by the end of next week 😬

Back on the temping eh @Minster2012 I hate it, just annoyed that I've taken care to wake at the same time each bloody day and now seems wasted as don't think I'm going to ov 🙈 jeeez sounds another hectic day, that's ridiculous with nursery. I get it but they take everything so literal 🤦🏼‍♀️

Thanks for the well wishes ladies. No anniversary celebrations today but we're going out tomorrow night. Cannot wait, first time in 2 years we've had an evening out together 😬, my dad is babysitting for a few hours 🥳

Bloody hell my car alarm is going off

DH said he wasn't back til after midnight

Do I scare intruders off with a soppy pointer dog who might lick them to death?

Or by walking out in just my pants & my saggy tits might scare them off & bed hair??

Or do I invite them in?

Or do I just lock the door (I hadn't in anticipation of DH returning) and hope for the best??

Nope I turn the alarm off and do this. Hmmmmm

@Minster2012 🤣 I'm a right wimp. I wouldn't be going out. I assume it was ok after that?
@InkyPaper yes a relief! Hopefully it won't be too long until I hear anything but I'm also happy to have a break for a bit.

AF arrived this morning.

@paintfairy ❤️ sorry about AF 🤗

@Minster2012 omg I'd be terrified of I thought there might be someone prowling around outside 🙈 is everything OK this morning??

@Justanothercyster it really does, there seems to be an awful lot of waiting involved! We're waiting for genetic tests to come back so it's likely going to be at least another 6-8 weeks before anything happens and I'm so impatient 😂 I suspect @paintfairy might get seen at the clinic before we do 😂

@bez91 ooh! Happy belated anniversary 🎉 hope you have an awesome time out together tonight 😊

Morning all
@bez91 enjoy your date!
@Minster2012 do we need to send a search party? you know what it was? Ds is so cute, grew up 3 years in account of the hair cut
@paintfairy sorry about af, but enjoy the mental break
@InkyPaper hope the wait is not too long, but the same to you, enjoy the mental break, a silver lining in every cloud

Day off today, so late lazy breakfast with the beau

@Minster2012 please say you're okay! leaving us hanging like this, what is this

@vil10 yay for viewings already! I hope it all goes quickly

@InkyPaper I've got nothing going on either... just waiting to see if my ivf funding application gets approved!

@paintfairy yay! I'm sure it'll be great! I'm sorry AF showed but I'm also super excited to see your IVF getting started. I wonder if they'll put you on short or long protocol and whether they can get you started this cycle!

@Justanothercyster I mean... I'm picturing you and your bump in a metallic, lilac leotard as an acrobat from the film

Argggh @Minster2012 please report for duty 🙈

@paintfairy ❤️meh sorry AF arrived 🙁

@becarefuloutthere hope you managed to get back in touch with the hospital 💕

@Franklydear snap. I also have a day off today, worked until gone 11 last night so I could 🤦🏼‍♀️ lazy breakfast sounds 👌🏼

@Juno231 how long do you generally have to wait for the funding decision?

Wish ov would hurry up over here if it's coming so I can disappoint DH with a BFN on his birthday on 30th aug 🙄
