@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

@dmb91 They removed a 4cm endometrioma from my right ovary, treated endometriosis in my pelvis and my uterus was stuck to my large bowel so they divided the adhesions and my dye test was clear so my tubes are open so relatively good news, hopefully this will do the trick and I'll get pregnant now!

OP posts:
Franklydear · 08/10/2022 14:20

@polkadotpixie that sounds positive
@Manifestingbaby sadly me too, 45 already so I don’t think it’ll happen

Manifestingbaby · 09/10/2022 15:03

@polkadotpixie so glad you are the other side of the op. Hope you are recovering well and that it makes the difference. Can you ttc straight away or is there any imposed recovery time?

@Franklydear I'm not 40 yet but my test results were crap for my age and the way my cycles have been going it doesn't look good.

Period finally showed up. 2 weeks late. FFS

polkadotpixie · 09/10/2022 20:23

@Manifestingbaby They said I can start TTC next cycle. I'm still in a lot of pain so don't much fancy DTD any time soon but I'm only about 7dpo at the moment so I have about 2 weeks to recover. I'll see how I go I think

Are you looking at any medical intervention or sticking to trying naturally?

OP posts:
Manifestingbaby · 13/10/2022 10:38

@polkadotpixie see how you go, a couple weeks should make a big difference. I hope the pain settles off soon. Take it easy as much as you can. Were you able to take much time off work? No just naturally. Ivf was our only option and we decided against it so what will be will be.

Sunbird24 · 13/10/2022 11:21

Hope everyone is feeling ok today? I’ve got my last ever embryo transfer this afternoon, and I need your collective wisdom on the light-hearted subject of the McDonald’s fries…

As I’ll be driving home afterwards through horrendous rush hour traffic, do we think having them beforehand will do instead?

Franklydear · 13/10/2022 14:23

@Sunbird24 hello, best of luck to the last embryo standing, surely it'll just keep the magic for a little bit, can I tell the ladies with babies so you can have more good vibes your way?

Sunbird24 · 13/10/2022 15:06

Hey @Franklydear i went for the pre-transfer fries, figured it couldn’t hurt! Of course, I know there are a lot of friendly faces out there after going through this all together in the last couple of years - hopefully I’ll get to join that bus this time 🤞

Franklydear · 13/10/2022 15:23

It changed me back to the app😭 I can't DM, we've done a group of a mixed if you like to join us, but vibes your way

Manifestingbaby · 13/10/2022 17:29

@Sunbird24 I imagine McDonald's could be treated much like folic acid, get it into the system in advance 😉 in all seriousness though sending you bucket loads of luck! How are you feeling?

@franklydear I had to delete the app, it was so glitchy! How're all the crew doing? I saw they moved off mumsnet.

Sunbird24 · 13/10/2022 17:32

Thank you @Manifestingbaby, procedure went fine so I’m once again PUPO and the waiting begins. Feeling surprisingly calm, I guess it’ll either work or it won’t and there’s very little I can do either way!

polkadotpixie · 13/10/2022 19:05

@Sunbird24 Congrats on being PUPO! Keeping everything crossed for you that this is the one ☝️

Is anyone able to start a new thread? We're almost out of posts and my laptop is broken and the app is so glitchy on my phone 😩

OP posts:
Franklydear · 14/10/2022 10:12

@Manifestingbaby they are doing great, and babies everywhere, we moved off Mumsnet cos we realized that we were having very private conversations very publicly when someone random come and said wow, so it's very crazy, but we've been together a long time and I wanted to still be a part of it, even as the resident aunty

The browser is taking me to the app version at random on my phone, so annoying

Manifestingbaby · 14/10/2022 20:53

Good mindset @Sunbird24 🤞

@Franklydear makes sense, it's easy forget it's a public forum 😳

@polkadotpixie oh god I've actually never started a thread 😂 I'm not very mumsnet savy.

Manifestingbaby · 20/10/2022 22:45

Hey @Sunbird24 how are you doing?

Sunbird24 · 21/10/2022 03:38

BFN. OTD is not for another week but I really can’t see it changing, especially as AF is due in 3 days.

Manifestingbaby · 21/10/2022 15:09

Oh @Sunbird24 I'm so sorry. I hope there's time for that to change but I know wishful thinking isn't helpful either. Have you real life support? This must be so difficult after so many tries. I really feel for you x

Franklydear · 27/10/2022 19:13

@Sunbird24 any further news?

Sunbird24 · 27/10/2022 19:22

@Franklydear AF arrived on Tuesday so I’m off the bus. Pretty much everything that can go wrong this month is… 🤦‍♀️

Juno231 · 28/10/2022 09:36

@sunbird24 I'm so so sorry to hear it didn't work :( I had everything crossed for you - big hugs!

Franklydear · 28/10/2022 10:23

Oh no @Sunbird24 so sorry to hear that😢

Somatronic · 28/10/2022 17:48

@Sunbird24 I'm so sorry to hear that. Sending you love xx

polkadotpixie · 28/10/2022 20:20

I've started a new thread. I haven't tagged anyone as I'm not sure who is still around but we're almost out of posts

@Sunbird24 I'm so sorry to hear your news x

To end on a positive note, my house move actually managed to happen today, which was not looking likely at 5pm yesterday!

Yayasisterhood · 28/10/2022 22:58

Thanks for the new thread. I’m penny in a new guise and have joined the new thread to check on you all while I am on a “break” from ttc. So sorry@Sunbird24 come feel the love in the new thread. We’re here for you.
