@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

@Sunbird24 when did the clinic ask you to test? Hoping for the best

Manifestingbaby · 29/07/2022 12:24

Sorry to hear Sunbird. I'll keep hoping for you x

Sunbird24 · 30/07/2022 07:48

9dp5dt, af due in 2 days, even a FRER is negative. Think that’s it. One last chance left, anyone know how soon you can try again after a failed transfer?

larrythelizard · 30/07/2022 07:55

I'm so sorry @Sunbird24, sending love (I know you're not out until AF shows but I think you're a bit of an expert on this one). No idea sorry, presumably can't discuss with the clinic until test day? X

Somatronic · 30/07/2022 08:50

I'm so sorry @Sunbird24

As @larrythelizard said there is still time but it's not your first rodeo so you know best. Hope you're OK xx

Manifestingbaby · 30/07/2022 10:22

I'm really sorry to hear that Sunbird x

I'm sorry I don't know much about ivf, hope you don't have to wait long. I can't imagine you would need to.

Franklydear · 31/07/2022 20:09

Spotting, so game over,cd 1 tomorrow I expect

Franklydear · 01/08/2022 07:26

Af fully here, cd1 indeed

Sunbird24 · 01/08/2022 08:28

@Franklydear i won’t be far behind you. Due today/tomorrow and the FRER still dazzlingly blank so have given up on the progesterone. Will call the clinic on Weds to ask what to do about the steroids as you can’t just stop those.

Manifestingbaby · 01/08/2022 21:16

Sorry about af @Franklydear and that she's on the way @Sunbird24. I also can't be far behind. I'm pms-ing like a bitch 🙄

pennysays · 01/08/2022 22:33

I’m so sorry @Sunbird24 how are you feeling?

paintfairy · 02/08/2022 00:08

@Sunbird24 really sorry to hear that. How frustrating. 😢 I hope you don't have to wait too long for the next one.

Sunbird24 · 02/08/2022 15:54

Spotting has started, so AF is right on time. Calling the clinic in the morning to let them know, and see what happens next.

Somatronic · 02/08/2022 16:31

@Sunbird24 I'm so sorry to hear that. It's such a blow after everything you've gone through. I hope you can have another transfer soon x

There's been pretty much no posts on here in a week 😥 hope everyone is ok. I know a few of us had af arrive around the same time and I definitely feel more like hibernating when on. How is everyone?

Franklydear · 10/08/2022 05:19

Hey, yes we need to be more active, I had my ultrasound yesterday, the sonographer said it all looks normal, my doctor will get the results in a few days and I'll give her a couple of weeks to get back to me before chasing, I am not taking all is well as an answer, if it was I wouldn't have pain and wonky cycles, if I need to use the you wouldn't be telling me to put up with it if I was a man, I will

Franklydear · 10/08/2022 06:28

Aaaahhh, tested positive for covid this morning, I am not feeling too bad, just like a heavy cold, so we'll see how it goes

Sunbird24 · 10/08/2022 07:27

Nothing to report here, will give the clinic a call this week to start looking at my final try.

@Franklydear hope the covid passes quickly and with minimal impact!

GemB03 · 10/08/2022 17:17

I've been referred for IVF and I'm already sick of the few family/friends who I've told sending 'whoooo great news 🎉' messages as if this is a good thing?! Feels like another scenario where I realise that no one in my life gets how this feels.
It doesn't feel like a celebratory moment, it just feels sad and incredibly scary.
It's also made me realise that most people don't know the shockingly low success rates of IVF!!
Any pre-IVF tips welcome xx

GemB03 · 10/08/2022 17:18

Ugh so shitty @Franklydear. Feel better soon!

Franklydear · 10/08/2022 19:31

@GemB03 I'll send some help from the other bus

polkadotpixie · 10/08/2022 20:19

@Sunbird24 So sorry this cycle wasn't successful, did the new clinic change your protocol at all?

@Franklydear Oh no, hope it passes quickly for you. I had it for the second time a couple of weeks ago and only felt ill for one day so hopefully you'll be on the mend quickly too

@Manifestingbaby I'm sorry for disappearing, I'm just finding it hard to have any hope at the moment and I don't want to bring you guys down. Hope you're doing okay?

@GemB03 I'm sorry people are being insensitive. I feel the same and keep putting off starting treatment as it feels like whilst there's still options ahead of me that I can hope but what if I have treatment and it still doesn't work, then what? It's really hard

CD12 here, fertile week ahead but I'm not sure we'll really get to try this cycle as we're away in a caravan for the next few days with my Mum. Might have to get her to take DS to the park for an hour 🤣

Franklydear · 10/08/2022 20:57

@polkadotpixie holiday in fw with your mum?!

Ewcm and right about dates for fw, both have covid so why not? Well DH is only having a very faint line now

GemB03 · 10/08/2022 23:02

@polkadotpixie an hour?! Lucky woman 🤣😉
Hope you have a lovely holiday and find chance to DTD.
Completely get what you mean about if it doesn't work, then what? I'm terrified it'll turn me into a hormonal mess, I'll be shit at my job and everyone in my life will hate me 🤣 with the success rates being so low, I'm not holding out much hope of it working anyway!
