BUS 25-TTC the messiah 🤰spewing out jizz, jingling balls & BFPs for Xmas 🎄

[Minster2012]

Well ladies....buckle up cos this bus is often more like a 🏎🤣

We are TTC in often weird and wonderful ways and that’s the way we like it...long as we are there for each other, which some of us have been for longer than we care to remember 😜. So whether your glass of half empty, half full, a pint glass, a shot glass (a tic tac container?), a mug of tea, this is where we come to refill it...🥰 Mumsnet is our happy place 🥰

Don’t forget...
⁃ No judgement
⁃ A few of us like a sex toy a few don’t, there may be sex toys discussed! 🤪a few of our fellas have enjoyed this aspect
⁃ Support each other, ranting is allowed, saying you are down is encouraged & celebrating our happy days too 😊
⁃ If you have a pet, it’s welcome aboard
⁃ mandatory picture of your 🎄tree /Xmas decorations / Xmas jumper or similar
⁃ Ditto Wreath - extra points awarded if wreath is homemade 🥰
⁃ We may stray away from TTC a fair bit
⁃ NOTHING IS TOO MUCH INFORMATION

Story so far...

Sep 4 BFPs
Oct 7 BFPs

Sneaky @lucyrp getting in there at the end 😍

How many more 🤔
Can we birth the messiah???
Or will we get thrown off Mumsnet??

@2020mission I think I'm actually running on the thought of Prosecco & chambers right now too! It's currently on offer fir £18 but it's £15 with one of their members cards which you get at the till. By far nicer than big brands like Moët & half price. Not harsh.

@Skip86 drongo is immense

@2020mission I actually got so excited when I saw someone had @d me because I haven't posted much on here the last couple of days but I'm just so all over the place. One day il be like its fine this is real it's going to happen and the next I'm worrying about absolutely everything! 🙉🙈 let's hope these help you! It's just small steps at the moment taking every week as it comes and these first few weeks are definitely the slowest 😴 got my booking appt for 4th tho !

Thanks girls, you are so helpful!
@notyetamumbuttrying not sure, maybe it's because I'm over 35 and my GP is a real 'get things sorted' type. She is great. I assume the scan snd SA will be the first jobs.
@clolo that's a great list of questions thank you! I'm just getting a bit anxious about it and don't want to be like a rabbit in the headlights when they start asking me things 😂
@2020mission I strarted tjose tablets half way through the last cycle so this is my first full cycle taking them 🤞
@Skip86 all I can hear there is Alf Stewart 🤣🤣🤣

@Vil10 my pain has now left and the cramps have taken over in full force sore hips and even legs so I can expect AF very soon. Pre pill I’ve never had a sore period even last month wasn’t bad either I really hope this isnt the start of painful one.

@Minster2012 I’m not normally into Prosecco but I tried this one from Lidl’s and it was so lovely and today they have it 50% off so only £2.49 a bottle and it’s sooo good very easy to drink, too easy lol. I’m more a beer gal but in the last year really taken to red wine, must mean I’m finally maturing lol

@Minster2012 I've pm'd you 💕

@Katao oh he never did it in the end as the gyno said not to, but to do one after he's taken the 3 month supply of supplements. So we'll find out end of March. So the ovulation wasn't an issue, and would t have been anyway as because my body is a fuck boy didn't end up ovulating, but think I am now!
And with the fertility apt, luckily we've both had tests previously to it so she had all the data to hand, and just went through asking some questions for both of us and then recommended treatment options. It was very simple really but make sure you ask all the questions you want to.

@Luna57 welcome :) I have that! Ovulation is very painful for me. And for a few days after. I think it's because of my pcos though. Cysts etc.

@DJmum83 I hope your temp jumps back up again :(

@2alreadywantanother fingers crossed for you!

@Juno231sorry about bfn, but like you said you're not out yet x

@Florence13 I did an MSc and my god was I glad when it was over. Though I've always been a bit of a nerd and loved academics. What subject?

@2020mission haha I have two packs ready to go for next cycle too thanks to @lucyrp. If they don't work I'm suing 🤣

@DJmum83 hey- I'm the same. I haven't managed to pass my test- I was predicted to be a first time passer.. but when I get in the test I crumble because I've got bad anxiety xxxx

Hi everyone.
Quick break in between work on doubles for the next 3 days I could greet.
AF arrived with a bang an hour ago.
On to the next cycle.

Hope your all doing ok.
I'll catch up on all posts when I get in from work later tonight.

Xxx

@Katao no probs! Glad you have a good gp!
@DJmum83 ah so sorry you came on my lovely. Hope work whizzes by for you.
@Skip86 drongo is my ultimate Aussie word! Do the youth still drink goon? All I did when I was there was drink goon wine and sometimes cider 😂

@Luna57 you're not out until af arrives!

@DJmum83 ohhh so sorry for af showing up!! Hugs x

We made it everyone!! The alarm clock is now turned off for 2 weeks and I'm really hoping I can sort my strange sleep pattern out.

Said member of SLT spoke with me today, so I was right. As she is safeguarding leader, apparently she has to be told - no idea if this is right. But she was kind, very excited and has been checking in on me all day.

@JustMouse we did it 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

@DJmum83 sorry about af :(

@Katao yes wedding postponned till June 2022 now 😅😅 I was stressing about fitting in my dress 🙈
@Juno231 My parents have been amazing! Are you renting your out atm then?

Okay so I promised myself id be cool as a 🥒 this cycle and not symptom spot but I can't help it, so I'm 7dpo and yesterday and today I've had little mild cramps, not painful or bad I just knew they were there, but I felt like I was about to come on today whilst shopping, then on the way home I had like a couple of shooting/stabbing pains in my right boob towards my nipple, my rhr has been climbing gradually, Sunday Monday Tuesday it flatlined then Wednesday went up by 3, and has dropped by 2 today, someone tell me I'm being ridiculous pls cos this 🥒 ain't so cool anymore

@blodyn91 oh it got postponed! That must take a load off though, otherwise next year would've been hectic! Yes we rented ours out in September luckily, I'm a bit worried about what the rental market will look like when they move out next summer though! One of my colleagues said his 1 bed had 40 offers on it to rent last year and it's on the market now again and he hasn't had a single one and just one viewing 🙊.

@DJmum83 I'm so sorry AF arrived! Jan must be your month 🤞

@JustMouse I'm glad it wasn't frivolous gossiping in that case!

Symptom spotting for the fun of it - side boobs hurt and they don't normally. I'm also so knackered I could go to bed right now. Considering I'm on leave I haven't done much today to warrant my eyes closing like this! Also had lots of creamy CM - even had to change my knickers 😅

@Katao your GP sounds great!

@Luna57 see I only ever drank red as opposed to white wine weirdly, but now drink white wine spritzers so I have less, as I can nurse a red wine for ages but drink white faster! Prosecco yup get through it very fast! I will try the Lidl Prosecco, we only tend to have Prosecco in when a friend comes over or it's a special occasion & it's more just for me as DH doesn't like it so you can guess how many times we've had it this year! So I'm looking forwards to having some for Xmas! Sorry it's now cramps...maybe it's time for the Prosecco?!

@Justanothercyster & @2020mission sorry to say I was on the seven seas when i got the BFN but I think I must have got the faulty batch 🥰

Nooooooo @DJmum83 🧙🏻‍♀️🧙🏻‍♀️🧙🏻‍♀️🍷😬totally thought this was it for you

@notyetamumbuttrying what the hell is goon??

@JustMouse 🥂🙌🏻💃🏼holidays!!! And hmmmm I'm still not sure on the safeguarding thing. Could have waited til next term??

@Vil10 maybe it's gone up and down cos you aren't a 🥒now??? You and @Juno231 are your little toes itching?? Your freckles twitching??

@Minster2012 @Juno231 I'm going to try and go back to being a 🥒 tomorrow, I need to chilllll for sure

@vil10 welcome to the looney bin 🤪

@vil10 same here. Mild cramping today and yest. Mad headache too.
Plus (I'm only torturing myself) look at these. Now and july when I fell pregnant 🙈 only difference is July was a bigger dip

Ha ha ha @2alreadywantanother @Juno231 @Vil10 no symptom spotting anywhere in sight. Oh no. But if your ear isn't twitching you aren't pregnant

Haha 😆 @Minster2012 will let @Skip86 explain when she wakes up 😏

@2alreadywantanother ooh could be good things coming soon! 🤞🏾

@notyetamumbuttrying I'm only tormenting myself.

@Juno231 yessss come on this has got to be it for you ! 🥰🙏🏼

@2alreadywantanother so easily done isn't it! I stupidly got my hopes up as my pms hadn't started yet and I'm due on on Saturday, but it's kicked in today. I'm hungry and irritable and also my joints ache which is always my period sign. Silly how we let our mind play tricks on us. I just keep hoping the sperm has improved and I can cancel ivf but I don't think so.

Hey, sorry to just jump onto the thread but wondering if anyone knows if the 'one step' tests are any good when used before day period is due? I got a pack of like 15 for £3 and I'm thinking they can't be great

@IndigoJam as in the HCG ones? I had a super faint line at 10dpo on one, think it was 10ui
