It’s been twelve million years & Minster & the good time crew are still here…it’s almost September and we basically missed out August for BFPs so we are owed.

Lots of people have got new jobs, had time off, gone on holiday, moved house, but what we haven’t had is the BFP to go with it- what’s with that??

So we’re owed a bumper bus ride right? That’s how it goes surely? If you are looking for a community of lovely ladies who know how frustrating it is when your doctor tells you “all women ovulate on day 14” errrr nope, we know a bus load of women who don’t thanks very much 🙋🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️😆🤔then here’s the bus for you. Oh and we don’t just talk TTC, we’ll chat about anything. In fact that’s positively encouraged cos TTC can be bloody boring sometimes!

It costs an embarrassing life (or TTC) story for your ticket please then you can hop on board

Roll on September ladies, it’s time for tunics, leggings & pulling those tunics up for hot quickie action right??

All aboard bus number 47

I think I was under the influence when I agreed to take on this agency bus driver role 🍻 I endeavour to not drink drive…

Plugging @minster2012 blog \\\___, we’ve had cancer, travels & ivf so need to get to the fun stuff, more ivf, surrogacy and more! #shamelessplug

Sorry meant too early not easy!

hellointhere · 15/09/2021 11:36

I have an AF after MC update and wondering whether there's cause for concern, but tbh from reading this thread I can see there is no normal really. AF started very slow and lasted 7 days, usually mine are 4 days. Then 2 days later it started again but not a lot of bleeding, so now after a short pause I've had light bleeding for 3 days now. So is this a very long AF?? Not sure what to make of it.

bez91 · 15/09/2021 11:39

@Minster2012 glad news was reasonably received by your parents. We have a difficult relationship with MIL, she'll be the last to know if we get that far

Urgggh sorry @larrythelizard completely unexpected too. Temping is good for that but a pain in the arse

I wouldn't worry too much @Vil10 that's enough if ov was today or yesterday. You've had loads on, take care of yourselves and don't beat yourselves up x

larrythelizard · 15/09/2021 11:42

I wish @Haiyaa, new job started this week so now I'm on the count down! Want to start tracking though so I know what's what when we ditch the condoms again!

@Vil10 I know what you mean about energy for these things running out. Given the month you've had I don't think it's a surprise you're short on energy!

I think AF after MC is quite often wonky @hellointhere - mine was very very heavy and very painful (whilst TTCing no 1), I know some of the ladies recently have had just spotting.

Yep an eternity @midnight90!

whatwonder · 15/09/2021 12:22

Good luck on the scan today @bez91 🤍✨

@Lexber hope you feel better soon x

@Minster2012 love the cheeky MN black market 😂 also great to hear your parents are being more supportive. Family dynamics can be so tricky, especially during an already emotionally heightened time!

@midnight90 tell me about it! I’m at the start of the TWW now, and it seems like an age! Making promises to myself not to symptom spot but we’ll see how I get on. It really does your head in, doesn’t it! I’d love to be one of these chill people who’s not bothered by anything but not sure how realistic that is. I’ve come down with a cold and I’m now too worried to take night nurse etc for just in case, so essentially being a martyr and for what lol.

@Vil10 I agree, be kind to yourself. It’s been a pretty traumatic month for you and your OH so pretty understandable that your energy is low! I’m also getting my progesterone levels checked on Monday. It’ll be CD23 for me, so bit later than the CD21 they recommend but they actually said to me “well from what you’ve said, it looks like you ovulate a bit later so CD23 should be better for you anyways” 🤯

midnight90 · 15/09/2021 12:35

@whatwonder yep got the same issue, every little thing I think is a symptom I get excited then reality kicks in. I need to relax but there's only so much that can distract haha

midnight90 · 15/09/2021 12:36

@whatwonder p.s hope you feel better soon, nothing worse then a cold blughhh

Kirky658 · 15/09/2021 12:42

@vil10 no wonder you didn't feel like it, you've had other things to think about, sounds like you're covered though hun. Alice and I are doing OK thank you, we are taking each day as it comes. Or trying to?!

Vil10 · 15/09/2021 12:46

@larrythelizard @bez91 @whatwonder Thankyou ladies! I do need to relax for a bit, I feel like I'm just so used to af arriving or a negative test I've just given up at the minute😂

@whatwonder why can't my doctor be like yours!! Mines CD21 but I'll only be like 5/6dpo which I think is too early which will probably mean a repeat again in October, it's becoming boring😂

@Kirky658 oh good I'm glad!! And how're you getting on with the counselling? I hope you're starting to feel better x

Kirky658 · 15/09/2021 13:01

@vil10 haven't actually started it yet, I have my first session on Sunday so hoping it will help 😊

Somatronic · 15/09/2021 13:39

Purely selfish post (will have a proper read later if I can!) as I wolf down a sandwich in 1 min flat but I'm back at work for the last 2 days and already feel like shooting myself. A colleague had a panic attack already. Fml. I miss working from home already!

larrythelizard · 15/09/2021 14:13

With you in spirit @bez91 💕

Lexber · 15/09/2021 14:48

Hope things are going well @bez91 xxx

@Somatronic I know that feeling - I'm at home the rest of this week as I feel so crap. I like working in the office but I also like being at home lol xx

InkyPaper · 15/09/2021 14:52

Felt like garbage all day - called in sick because I can only manage about 5 mins of screen time before head explodes. AF literally just started. V unusual for it to start in afternoon, hope not in for monster AF nonsense. Will try and catch up when I can focus again

bez91 · 15/09/2021 15:48

Thanks ladies you're amazing 🥰😘, waited an hour past my appointment to be seen so was glad of a wee 🤦🏼‍♀️
Still uncertain, sonographer couldn't see much but a yolk sac so she dated me at 4+6 (I make today 5 exactly by ovulation) so not wayyy out. Back in 10 days for scan number 2. Had bloods today then back Friday for repeat bloods. So nothing to tell just could be better, could be worse 😊

OP posts:
Lexber · 15/09/2021 15:51

@bez91 That's positive news and hopefully there will be even more positive news in 10 days!
Think I am 5+4 today so close, I've filled out the online stuff this afternoon- that felt weird as was nothing like this 14/15 and 11/12 years ago!!

I genuinely feel like a first time mum again!!

Sorry to hear that @InkyPaper hope you are feeling ok? Xx

Kirky658 · 15/09/2021 15:53

@bez91 nothing worse than when you have to wait ages when you're dying to pee!!!! Glad it went OK xx

larrythelizard · 15/09/2021 16:12

Sorry to hear you're feeling poorly @InkyPaper.

Good to hear today @bez91, so far so good right?! That's all you needed today x

Justanothercyster · 15/09/2021 17:29

@Somatronic oh no! Why were they having a panic attack?

@bez91 glad you got to see something and have a wee (haha!), still very early days so good luck for 10 days time 🤞🏼✨

@InkyPaper sorry you're feeling poorly :( that sounds horrible

@Lexber it's exciting though!

Good news, I don't have diabetes so that's a lot less stress :) still a ginormous bub though so we'll see what next growth scan decides 🙈

Somatronic · 15/09/2021 17:54

@bez91 glad to hear it went well for you today.

@Justanothercyster great news! So she had a panic attack because our job is really stressful and she suffers a bit with anxiety. I think everyone being fully back to normal at work (all wearing masks though obviously) and a huge jump in workload this week was too much. I'm already exhausted and today was only my first full day back. Would love to get pregnant just for the 6 months at home!

Minster2012 · 15/09/2021 19:33

Quick check in to say I'm so pleased @bez91 that's perfect for the date and onto the next scan, I'm so pleased for you 🙌🏻

I cancelled my knee mri today annoyingly. Well they cancelled it, said they don't scan pregnant ladies & it will be after the birth 🤣🤔they are positive!

Franklydear · 15/09/2021 19:35

@Minster2012 me too, and needles at the ready, everything colourful regardless of sex, so I can start when you say GO

gcat16 · 15/09/2021 20:40

Hi ladies, do you mind if I hop on your bus? I've been following for ages but just too scared to get involved 😬 I didn't want to be one of those annoying people who come on and then immediately get pregnant so thought I'd wait for CD1, but that's proving very illusive..

I loved reading all your intros so a bit about me: been ttc for 1 year at the end of September (what a great milestone 🙄) I have the wonkiest cycles, and think I've ovulated 6 times this year. Luckily (I think?!) I've got pregnant twice but lost them both; one at 4.5 weeks and one at 6 weeks. Devastated by them both and just feeling really deflated and pissed off by the whole thing.

DH & I are in the process of relocating to the south coast but that means six weeks living apart which is making DTD very interesting/impossible during the week.

I am currently on CD40 something I think and still haven't ovulated so who fricking knows what is going on with my body.

Sorry for the massive essay! I am also currently self isolating with a horrible cough and waiting for the result of my PCR which is making me even more twitchy. Eurgh.

I will get thinking on my embarrassing story! They all mainly involve me being drunk and stupid/naked so not that original (but I'll try and think of something better!)

@Vil10 sorry to hear about your OH - that sounds like an absolutely horrendous experience and I'm glad the police are taking it seriously!
@bez91 @Lexber @Minster2012 @DKDK123 tentative congratulations on your pregnancies, and sending lots of positive vibes and sticky baby dust your way

feliznavidad2 · 15/09/2021 20:57

Glad things went as well as they could do @bez91 and we'll be here again for you in ten days time x

Franklydear · 15/09/2021 20:59

@gcat16 see? this is the kind of first post we like, hop in, if anybody understand wonky cycles that is, sadly, us
