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

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

Oh fuck @Sunbird24 I'm so so sorry 💕

Sunbird24 · 23/08/2021 16:35

Going in for surgery next Tuesday, so will be having a covid test on Friday then isolating over the weekend. Guess I’d better tell my parents I’m not visiting!

Manifestingbaby · 23/08/2021 16:48

Nowhere near caught up 🙈 just saw your update from last night though @kirky658 and so so happy to hear! That's a huge step in the right direction! 😁 go Alice!

Juno231 · 23/08/2021 17:05

@Sunbird24 ah feck I forgot about the giant drive home as well :(

Franklydear · 23/08/2021 18:12

@Minster2012 thank god you're so tall, I think I might be around waist height for your DH, you both look fab, now get him in gear with the move
@Juno231 o for gods sake, well at least is helpful
@Thedesirerainbow what a journey, at least you found us, where are you?
@Kirky658 all looking good
Nothing to report here

Minster2012 · 23/08/2021 18:24

Oh @Sunbird24 all the love and hugs me in the world for you I'm so so sorry. No one should have to go through what you have 😭😭

@Franklydear im only 5'5" 🤣not really ever described as tall! But DH is very tall, as are all his family!

@Thedesirerainbow sorry to here about your losses, we are a good community here. So are you going private straight away for some testing then?

@Indianna2006 yes it could definitely go straight to static after a few blanks so if you think you might ovulate soon then make sure you are still shagging!

@larrythelizard we are top of the chain of 3 (cos we've already got our other house just want to bloody pay for it now 🤣) unfortunately not do only our buyers have a poor solicitor but also the ones buyers theirs have used a firm who are apparently notorious for raising pointless queries which is the thing that's been holding up the process. So our buyers & us have ready to exchange for 3 weeks (with them having made an offer on ours 2.5 weeks after accepting a cash offer on theirs) but theirs still isn't ready to exchange. And it's not an old house. Don't understand it at all

Thedesirerainbow · 23/08/2021 18:55

@Franklydear thank you 😌 the UK but in a little island where we do not have the same facilities as the main land.

@Minster2012 first testings will try to do it through state as much as possible which will take a little while. If we end up going through IUI treatment down the road, it will mean that will have to start paying also for flights to the UK as there's no treatments over here so trying to save as much expenses as possible.

Is everyone on here mainly from the UK?

kaylsd · 23/08/2021 19:08

Hey there lovely lot been abit of a silent lurker as work life has got ahead of me and taking its mental toll on me as I feel like sometimes it's sucking the life out of me and I've just done a long stent of so many shifts in a row so I do apologise for the silence these last weeks! Been finding TTC hard as we hit the golden one year TTC this month and it just hit home that I was naive to think we would have a little one on the way by now but least I'm in the system, hubs got his repeat 3 month SA on Tuesday and with all the recommendations off here with the supplements he's been wolfing down I'm expecting a better improvement! As for me the metformin shits has settled down but still no AF... cycle day 111, how bloody depressing that? Excuse the pun 🤣 I have our next appointment in October to see if we are going to be clomid contenders or IVF ICSI if hubs doesn't improve on Tuesday

Lighter note my covid belated wedding Reception dress has come! I paid 130 for this :o and the quality is amazing! Just need some nice pull in pants to make it cling more nicely Might not be many peoples cup of tea but I love it and to say it came from China I panicked but was surprised how well it is! Pics for show and attention, it's far from my princess dress of my actual wedding back in November last year but I didn't want to wear it twice and bring back luck (I'm a tinker like that as it's prob a load of shit that old wife's tale)

I'm just lurking from the guttering of Mumsnet now and again until I can get motivated back into things but right now I'm moody and things aren't getting kick started yet 🤣🥺

Lots of love to you ladies, sending hugs to you all of whatever part of your life's you are at im sure I'll be motivated and back into it soon im just feeling sorry for myself 🤣 being quiet just sometimes life gets abit heavy! X

Franklydear · 23/08/2021 20:02

@kaylsd that’s is a very nice dress, and at a very good price,

Juno231 · 23/08/2021 20:31

@kaylsd omg that would be my favourite dress if I had the body to pull it off! Did you use lacemarry by any chance?

kaylsd · 23/08/2021 20:38

@Franklydear thank you darling it's the only thing to look forward to at the moment as abit of my life is a touch upside down however staying positive at every chance I can most days ❤️

@Juno231 it wasn't no darling was off a website called hebeos, it was a custom one off there but you can buy generic off the shelf sizes too! It's worth a shout for anyone on a budget now I know it doesn't come looking like a disaster 👀 hope you manage to get your IVF paperwork sorted or shall I say found 🙈 what a nightmare for you couldn't organise a pissup in a brewery some clinics!😫😫😫 xx

paintfairy · 23/08/2021 20:49

@Juno231 🤣 you and me both. Definitely no way I could wear that dress @kaylsd but it's lovely! My mum got her wedding dress from China though and it was fine. Our bridesmaid dresses were too. I know it can be hit and miss but loads of people get bargains.
@Juno231 - 🤦‍♀️ the paperwork.
@Sunbird24 oh no. I was so hoping for good news for you today. I'm so sorry xxx Look after yourself.
@Vil10 good news about the house viewings! Fingers crossed.

larrythelizard · 23/08/2021 20:50

So frustrating @Minster2012!

Day 111 @kaylsd?! Wow that sucks! I thought your pic was snow on a velux window until I read your post and clicked on it. Love it!! Your 🍑 is looking 👌🏻! When's the party?

OP posts:
Vil10 · 23/08/2021 21:13

@larrythelizard Thankyou!!

@Sunbird24 I'm so so sorry you're going through this, you don't deserve it!! Sending you all the love and hugs in the world❤️

@kaylsd lovely dress!!

Well girls, had 6 viewings today, 4 out of the 6 told us they were making offers tomorrow!! 2 said they're offering asking price, the other 2 didn't say what they were offering! So all very exciting!

Crazydoglady123 · 23/08/2021 21:16

Thanks ladies. The sickness has gone today 🙌

@Sunbird24 I'm so sorry lovely it didn't turn out better for you. It's so hard this. Be kind to yourself and always here if you want to talk

@kaylsd that dress is gorgeous 😍

Manifestingbaby · 23/08/2021 21:30

@sunbird24 so so sorry love. Heartbreaking news. Hope you are being well taken care of.

@Juno231 oh god nightmare about your paperwork! Hope it turns up.

Welcome to the new girls.

@vil10 good luck with the viewings.

Can't seem to quite catch up lately. Apologies for my off timed replies! Nothing going on here, I'm cd... whatever most the bus is 😂 Can't remember but I know there's a few of us the same. Not letting ttc take up so much headspace at the moment 😀

becarefuloutthere · 23/08/2021 21:34

@Crazydoglady123 yay good to hear! X
@Vil10 how exciting! U could have a bidding war on your hands 🙌🏾
@kaylsd gorge dress, really suits you!
@Sunbird24 so sorry to hear your news, I hope you have ppl around you for comfort ♥️

Franklydear · 24/08/2021 07:15

Morning
Starting the day with an angry phone call, fucking bus driver overcharge me £4.80, my ticket show the right amount, so I was none the wiser, money back within a week, but thank fuck I check the account
Well, day can only improve, right?

Minster2012 · 24/08/2021 07:20

Oh wow @Vil10 bring on today 🙌🏻💪🏻👏🏻is the other house you want to buy still for sale?

@Crazydoglady123 pleased you are feeling better

@kaylsd OMG look at that booty!! Looks bloody gorgeous! Whit whoooo!!! And cycle day 111 you poor thing, still no AF??!! What??? But everything crossed for the repeat SA!

@Juno231 out of interest what did the clinic suggest to do, are they looking first or are they going straight for you need to redo the forms?

@Manifestingbaby im not sure you can beat CD111 but I feel you, on a different note I've been. Told there's a third season of selling sunset and I'm sure I've only seen two, is the third the one where Chrustine actually manifests a baby???

walkychalky · 24/08/2021 07:34

Thanks to those who replied to my last message. You were all right, it was a CP. AF was a week late. Gutted.

I'm looking for advice, I've always ovulated over the same 2 days on a normal cycle (11-12) but my ovulation tests have been negative and I'm past this point. Are ovulation tests ever wrong? Could my dates be messed up following the CP? Thanks x

Franklydear · 24/08/2021 07:44

@walkychalky cps often mess up cycles sadly, sorry to hear that...

kaylsd · 24/08/2021 07:54

@paintfairy I’m glad I’ve not been the only one to do this then, I never realised you could get bridesmaid dresses too but saying that you can get anything these days! Partial to a bargain 🙃
@larrythelizard tell me about it 😫 I’ve got visions of my womb to be shrivelled up like a prune from it all 🙈 our party is on bonfire night :) was the closest we could get to our anniversary which was the 3/11 as we escaped the lockdown by one day 🙈 we are calling the Reception a happily ever after party 🎈🎉 thank you for my compliments about my window I mean my 🍑 😘😘🤣

@vil10 good luck for the offers today 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
@crazydoglady123 thank you hunny! So glad your sickness has passed 👏❤️
@becarefuloutthere thank you lovely 🥰
@franklydear not the best start but things can only get better cue things can only get better song

@minster2012 thank you lovely lady and I know right? God knows what I can do to bring it on, GP won’t give me northisterone to induce my period as the consultant at clinic has started me on metformin to see if that can regulate a bleed but said can take a few month to work so just left me in limbo land.. can I have a chocolate medal for being part of the one of the longest cycle gangs to make me feel a tad better 🥺👀🤣
@walkychalky sorry to hear about your CP I've heard too they can mess up cycles, sending hugs xx

Thank you lovely lady’s for your warm welcome back I feel like I’ve never been away for a little while ❤️

Juno231 · 24/08/2021 09:29

@Minster2012 ah well one of the forms we filled out was to authorise them communicating with us via email, so that's how they contacted us about it and they're happy for us to just send a copy of the doc back via email as well.

Vil10 · 24/08/2021 12:05

@Manifestingbaby Thankyou!!

@becarefuloutthere that's what we're hoping for🤞🏼loved them post by the way, so nice!!

@Minster2012 we found out this morning that it is!! We thought it had gone but it's back on!!

@walkychalky so sorry it was a cp, sending hugs x

@kaylsd Thankyou x

lucyrp · 24/08/2021 12:22

Hello ladies hope it's not insensitive of me to post on here but I know a few of you have been waiting to hear off me, I gave birth to a beautiful little girl this morning at 4.27am weighing 8lb 4oz 🥰
