@Minster2012 apparently didn't learn from the last time and is once again letting me loose behind the wheel whilst she enjoys her well earned rest! You can follow her on Instagram (Minstermusings) where lots of passengers and ex-passengers have their own TTC or normal accounts too (just be careful not to out anyone on their non-TTC accounts!)

We have had over 100 BFPs on this thread since @Minster2012 took over including 2 on the last thread so we need to keep our lucky run going, no slacking ladies!

Anything goes and NOTHING is TMI on this bus! Whether you're doing it the old fashioned way or with some help from science, we're all waiting for those 2 pink lines and are here to support each other and try to stay (somewhat) sane along the way

@JSS15 assuming you don't get jetlagged and wake up roughly the same time as at home it shouldn't make a difference I don't think? You should still see a temp shift hopefully although if you're already cd10 - when would you normally expect ovulation to be? I'd perhaps just go for opks and leave the temping this cycle.

Manifestingbaby · 02/03/2022 18:35

@larrythelizard

@InkyPaper glad it's settled a bit though, the tww was very hard for you. Ya I remember that feeling like you are walking around with a massive secret! Hope the scan date flies in for you x

paintfairy · 02/03/2022 18:42

@InkyPaper I still feel like that now! Like I'm not pregnant enough to feel justified at claiming to be pregnant. 🤣 Ridiculous.

Somatronic · 02/03/2022 20:03

AF arrived. I'm so fed up of this now. I'm very annoyed. And it's the first day of Lent so I can't even eat or drink my sorrows.

Manifestingbaby · 02/03/2022 21:22

@Somatronic so sorry x

Franklydear · 02/03/2022 21:33

@Somatronic so annoying, just cheat a little, the pray for forgiveness, sorted the catholic way!
I am still in limbo cd 20, no idea on dpo, could be 3 could be 9, it’s the que sera method, need to decide what to do after this cycle too, we’re supposed to be stopping but dh hasn’t even call the doctors to book an appointment to even talk about it yet, so....

Dawnbird · 03/03/2022 00:08

Got an official ticket with my name on it and all now.

It's my birthday today, so DP made me breakfast in bed. Bacon and eggs on toast, and coffee. Not too bad considering it's a Thursday and he's normally impossible to get up early, he was super cute, set an early alarm and all.

I think I'm a day or two off ovulating, felt awful last night and DP was working till midnight, so will have to try to cram some DTD in tonight. Working till 9 or 10 the next 3 nights. Not great timing.

larrythelizard · 03/03/2022 08:39

Happy Birthday @Dawnbird! Bless your DH that's really cute.

Sorry about AF @Somatronic always always always a fucker.

Somatronic · 03/03/2022 09:43

Thanks for the sympathy. I had some brown spotting but nothing since. I'm pretty sure this has happened before and AF is on the way.

@Franklydear Haha, that's Catholicism in a nutshell. I was raised Catholic but I'm an atheist but even I couldn't justify breaking Lent on Ash Wednesday haha. I went for lunch in the bar at work yesterday and the lady who served us admonished all the people who ate meat. No religious freedoms around here!

@Dawnbird Happy Birthday! That was so lovely of your DH. A great start to the day Flowers

Vil10 · 03/03/2022 11:59

Late to the party but taking up a seat, I hope there's room for a tag on!!

Sunbird24 · 03/03/2022 13:39

Ooh, nearly missed you!
I’ve been to the hospital this morning as I still have retained products from January’s ERPC (ironic?) They’ve given me misoprostol and want to see me again in a week. The genetic testing came back as well, and everyone who guessed girl for me this time around were wrong, it was a perfect little boy! I’m giving up guessing now as it turn out the previous one with the trisomy was a girl, and I was convinced they’d tested the boy out of what I thought was BG twins. Anyhow, that means my body is most definitely pulling some fuckboy stunt…

Manifestingbaby · 03/03/2022 14:28

Oh @Sunbird24 💔 that really is a double hit for you today. I'm sorry again for your loss and for how drawn out it is.

Manifestingbaby · 03/03/2022 14:30

@Dawnbird happy birthday!

@Somatronic are we at this too long to play the 'is it implantation bleeding?' game? What dpo are you?

BellatrixK · 03/03/2022 15:08

@Manifestingbaby I’m a huge supporter of ‘what feels right’.

@Somatronic sorry about AF. I’m agreeing with @Franklydear though, for me that justifies a cheat day! Also my family are all Catholic, so the telling off for eating meat made me laugh! Ohhh, I see it’s just spotting… could it be implantation?

@Dawnbird happy birthday! Lovely from your DP… and could set the tone for some birthday DTD?

@Sunbird24 so sorry to hear that. It’s heartbreaking. I hope that you are being well looked after.

So, not ideal on the blood tests. The nurse took blood and labelled up the vials … then after I checked, she realised that it hadn’t specified to test for progesterone, which they should for Day 21. They were testing for a lot of other things… not sure why? The nurse then took another vial of blood and caused a bleed under the skin. So I’m not full of faith in them at all! At least they’re done though and testing for progesterone!l.

Somatronic · 03/03/2022 15:20

@Sunbird24 you've really been through it. I hope you're doing OK x

@Manifestingbaby and @BellatrixK I don't believe in implantation bleeding. It's a myth I've read about that's fooled me too many times before! I had a tiny bit more brownish discharge (I'm sorry, it's gross I know) earlier today but nothing since. I'm presuming it's a cruel long and drawn out start to AF!

Manifestingbaby · 03/03/2022 15:56

@BellatrixK ugh blood tests always seem to be a disaster. How hard can it be!

@Somatronic sorry to perpetuate the myth but I did in fact have implantation bleeding when I was pregnant. I get you though. These things just keep us fooled. I had a really sudden sharp pain at 8dpo that only lasted a few minutes and of course thought implantation! Then (to be all MN) I gave my head a wobble 😂

Franklydear · 03/03/2022 18:05

@Somatronic I was further along with my boy when I got to my scan by 4 weeks, I took it for a period, I am very irregular in my defense, so now I test midcycle sometimes

Manifestingbaby · 03/03/2022 18:11

Just reread, meant seconds not minutes!

larrythelizard · 03/03/2022 18:18

Jeez @Sunbird24 I mean good it's been caught and pleased it hasn't made you poorly but it's non stop crap isn't it? I'm assuming you had your labs back too? Sorry it's all still going on, hard to heal emotionally when body still not right.

Sunbird24 · 03/03/2022 18:23

I know @larrythelizard, if I wasn’t going through this I’d think all these things couldn’t possibly happen to the same person! There’s one blood test they want to repeat (the sticky blood one) after this has been sorted, as my HCG needs to be back at ‘not pregnant’ levels for comparison.

bez91 · 03/03/2022 19:38

Fabulous bus title @polkadotpixie 👌🏼😆

So sorry to read it's still going on for you @Sunbird24 been there and it's the strangest headspace to be in that wishing for a 'not pregnant' result when actually that's what you're trying to achieve, sending love ❤️

paintfairy · 03/03/2022 21:03

@Sunbird24 I'm sorry this is all still dragging on for you. Like the whole thing isn't hard enough. 💐

LoveQ · 04/03/2022 05:15

Hi everyone

Had yesterday down as CD1 however sorry tmi I basically had spotting once and it was very old looking blood not fresh 😳 god I am sorry!
Anyways absolutely nothing since dry as a bone, what the hell is my body doing, so am I now CD 31? I'm guessing I'll need to wait and see what happens today

LoveQ · 04/03/2022 05:34

@Sunbird24 sorry to hear you're not having a great time, hope you're ok 💗

Franklydear · 04/03/2022 05:51

@LoveQ do you want to test or wait? Cd1when you get something on pad, and don’t worry, no tmi here, we’re well seasoned
