TTC bus 54 🚌

Can't write too much or my app crashes but the last thread is on 997...we've had over 100 BFPs since Minster started the thread and those of us left on the bus are not giving up yet!

All welcome, no TMI on this thread!

Beep Beep!

Hey @pennysays , thanks for checking in. I can’t remember when I last posted, but I had a load of crazy cycles starting from the end of May (like 40-63 days!) and I had to step away a bit from TTC stuff as it was driving me a bit mad, though I was still lurking around here.

I reckon things are mostly back to normal for me now, but we missed this cycle as my husband was away. So I’m looking forward to some wine at Christmas and getting going again in the new year.

Hope all is well with you?

[Manifestingbaby]

@polkadotpixie have you tested yet? Strange the lap shortened you lp. Hope things settle or better still a bfp!

@pennysays you changed your name back! Lol last thread was the loooongest thread, no wonder we forgot the intended title. You're very good to go searching and tagging. I'm ashamed to say I don't recognise half the names or know where anyone is at 😳 the pace of the last thread got so slow it's hard to remember where people are at.

@Hann91 great update! Congratulations 🎊

@Blondepotter was a return passenger hoping to concieve again but went quiet. I have a sneaky (hopeful) suspicion she may have gotten a bfp and been too polite to say 🤞 do let me know if I'm right please!

I was also thinking about someone from here the other day and wondering how she is but I can't remember the username! She was in a coparent arrangement ttc with at home insemination . I don't remember if she got a bfp and I missed it or she left the bus?

Last I remember from sausage was she was going to start ttc again soon but not heard from her in a while.

Just strolling down memory lane. Nothing going on with me, af arrived and left. Rinse, repeat 🤣

[polkadotpixie]

@Manifestingbaby I tested at 10dpo and BFN as usual 🙄 AF arrived yesterday so my luteal phase was 10 days this cycle which is better (it's usually 10-12 days but was 7 and 8 days the last 2 cycles since surgery). Onto cycle 19 anyway and we're 100% starting treatment in January once Christmas is out of the way

@pennysays Sorry about the thread title and lack of tags, I had to do it on my phone and the app kept crashing and I don't know who's still around and TTC. Hopefully some will jump back on after your tags 🤞

@Hann91 Congratulations! Do you know if it's a boy or girl yet?

[Hann91]

@pennysays @Manifestingbaby @polkadotpixie thanks 😊. @polkadotpixie we're having a girl 💕

[Manifestingbaby]

@polkadotpixie here's to the new year so 🤞 It must be a bit of a let down after the fresh hope of the lap but you are on the right track.

[InvisibleDreamer]

Still here just not keeping up with as many threads these days. Almost a whole year of IVF and fertility treatment & not even been able to do 1 transfer yet. Feels like my bus has a flat tire!

[Franklydear]

I am losing speed, it’s been a few years of ttc, well now just not preventing really
congratulations @Hann91 so lovely to hear good news

[Manifestingbaby]

@Franklydear I know, hoping for a Christmas miracle.....for the 3rd year in a row! 😂😭

[InvisibleDreamer]

@Manifestingbaby tell me about it 😂😂😂have actually lost count must be 4 or 5 xmas’s now. Doing anti jolly Christmas this year just been to watch Die Hard at the cinema. Yippie Kay Yay!

[Franklydear]

Af got me yesterday,no Xmas miracle here

[Manifestingbaby]

@InvisibleDreamer I definitely finished that sentence in my head 🤣🤣

@Franklydear the witch! Doubt there will be one here either. No signs of ovulation yet so I'm predicting an annovulatory cycle.

[Harper02]

Hey,
Room for a newbie?

[polkadotpixie]

@Harper02 Absolutely, we'd love some new passengers! Have you been TTC for long?

[Harper02]

@polkadotpixie thankyou😊 yeah, been trying since 2020 although had no contraception since 2019. Diagnosed with PCOS last year and I'm currently on clomid🫠 feels like it's never going to happen!

[Manifestingbaby]

Hey @Harper02 plenty of long time tryers here, welcome. Are you taking clomid long?

[Harper02]

@Manifestingbaby yup... since February with a break during summer 🫣 just a nightmare. I don't know why it's not working🫠 what about your journey?

[Manifestingbaby]

@Harper02 I'm just along for the ride (😉) really! Nearly 3 years trying for another. Had all the tests and results were pretty dismal so what will be will be now. I did letrozole for a few months but no luck, not persuing ivf as chances are low. Struggled to conceive our first too and we are older now. We've made our peace with it but still hope a little it will happen. I'm here since bus one so keep renewing my ticket 🤣

[polkadotpixie]

@Harper02 Sorry to hear you've struggled to conceive too, you're in good company here as we've all been trying for a long time...I think this is cycle 20 for me but I've lost count at this point tbh!

I'm currently 10dpo, temp still high and FF says my chart is triphasic which is a first for me but I have definite AF cramps so expecting my temp to tank tomorrow when AF is due. If it stays up I'll test but a BFP would be a Christmas miracle at this point!

[Franklydear]

Hi, we need a newbie to give us some life, long time tryer for a second here too, but at 45, I am sort of just not preventing really, not really counting on anything happening anymore but just along for the ride

[33Carr]

Hi all! Mind if I join?
TTC #2, was meant to be testing on Christmas morning if AF hadn't arrived (due tomorrow) but got an early Christmas present and woke up with horrendous cramps this morning, lo and behold, AF arrived a day early!

Oh well, means I can at least enjoy some nice wine over Christmas I guess! 🎄🎅🏼

[polkadotpixie]

Welcome @33Carr, sorry to hear AF got you 😩 Have you been TTC long?

I'm also TTC #2, been trying for 20 cycles or so now, I had an early MC after 4 months and nothing since. AF due today for me and BBT has dropped this morning so its imminent...bang goes my pipe dream of giving DH a positive test for Christmas 😭

[Harper02]

@Manifestingbaby ahh it's so difficult isn't it. I'll never underhand why it's so hard for some and easy for others 🫠

@polkadotpixie I have kinda lost count too lol I really feel the pressure being on clomid though, don't want to 'waste' a cycle😓 I'm currently 12dpo, bfn yesterday on frer. Period will likely be here for Christmas Day when I'm spending it with two heavily pregnant family members. 🫣 how is your temp today?

[Harper02]

@polkadotpixie oops sorry, seeing your update now!

[33Carr]

Sorry to hear about your MC @polkadotpixie 😢


I don't think we can call what we've been doing so far actually 'trying' tbf, just not preventing falling pregnant! It took us around a year and a half to conceive our first, with a MMC in the first month. So I've been trying to be a bit more relaxed about the whole TTC journey this time round...😬
From the new year onwards we will actively TTC again, I expect it to take a few months as our first did.
