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

Sneaky @lucyrp getting in there at the end 😍

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

@LaceyMermaid omg yes!!!!😁😁

@2alreadywantanother thank you, I’m 17dpo I think but I didn’t track this month so not 100% sure

@lucyrp how good are those tablets 🤣

17 😱 I'm 10 and the urge to poas is getting very hard

@2alreadywantanother trust me I’ve been like that other months! But this month I didn’t track to really try to relax a bit and it did make me hold off testing beciase I couldn’t be sure I had my dates right.

@laceymermaid well it clearly worked. Merry Christmas 💞

@2alreadywantanother thank you I’ve got my 🤞🏻 for all of you guys (and for me because not the worrying about my age is kicking in!)

@laceymermaid what age are u? Have u kids already or this the 1st

I'm 40 🙈 there are a few of us geriatrics (as they call over 35s here) 😂😂

@2alreadywantanother I’m 38, I have 3 older ds’s 17,15,12 so it’s been a while and I was in my twenties when I had them. I’m definitely geriatric 🤣

@LaceyMermaid whoop whooppppppp yassss you caved so pleased!!! 🥰🥳congratulations!! That's fantastic!! What a way to finish the thread!!

@2alreadywantanother you aren't being selfish at all you have to look after yourself & your own family, that's you, DH & your son xx

😂 what are we like. @laceymermaid this is my last chance to have 1 b4 I'm 41 lol if I fall pregnant now and go a wk over it would be my birthday 😂😂

🤣 fingers crossed for you @2alreadywantanother I know you have had a tough time recently so I’m sure it’ll happen for you soon 🤞🏻🤞🏻
@Minster2012 I just couldn’t believe it would be true so had convinced myself the seven seas must have messed up my cycle! I’ll be sticking around if that’s ok I’m not ready to move on

@LaceyMermaid ha ha ha don't worry you only get a gentle nudge off! You don't actually get thrown off 🥰

@Minster2012 thank you I’ll see what happens!

@LaceyMermaid aaah congratulations!!! Feck it I'm so getting those pills 😂. What cycle was this in the end?

@Minster2012 I really hope none of this covid malarkey delays your ivf ❤️

Temp plummeted today so AF is imminent!

Lol scratch that, AF is here 😂🤣

Hey girls! I'm on cycle 2 of TTC baby number 4. Didn't happen last cycle so here we are again. I'm at the start of my ovulation window and been DTD religiously so 🤞🤞🤞 we get a BFP around the 8/9th jan. I'm day 2 of high ovulation results on my clearblue digital advanced OPK test. Last month I had 7 days high result but no peak so I hope its not the same again this month as I'm worried there may be something else going on that may prevent me getting pregnant due to a year of cervical changes and back and forth to cervical checks etc. But all positive thoughts and vibes!!!!

@2alreadywantanother not selfish, put your foot down! Your own families safety is your priority.

@LaceyMermaid what?! No way! Congratulations! How long were you trying? I think i need some of those! 😂 A good Christmas for you!

@Juno231 sorry to hear AF is hear but hopefully it will be done for Christmas right?

@Minster2012 sorry to hear you were feeling down last night but I know it wasn’t your last chance and I am sure that by February March time things will be on the up and your transfer will be happening!

@LaceyMermaid yay congratulations!! Such lovely news to wake up to. I might also jump on the seven seas because I mean why not?

@2alreadywantanother aww really hope you get some positive news soon but I would try and hold of the urge to POAS just yet. Entirely your choice though of course depends how you would feel about it.

@Juno231 missed your post. Oh FFS! Your charts are horrific. Mine at least look useless and give me no false hope. 🤣 Not that I've managed to temp this month. How frustrating for you.

@RoRox3 welcome to the thread. Hope you get your peak soon.

@Juno231 @paintfairy cycle 6. Took seven seas and used preseed. Didn’t track as I wanted to relax but actually had the most stressful couple of weeks with my youngest ds getting threatened at school so how it happened this month god knows.
Sorry to hear AF arrived @juno231

Aww fab news to start the day @LaceyMermaid, congratulations 🥳 A fab wee early Christmas pressy for you.

Arrival of AF for me late last night. Of course part of me is a bit gutted but there's actually a massive part sighing with relief that I won't have the stress of waiting to lose it over Christmas. Our first CP was this time last year so of course I was sober over the festive season and feeling sick and shitty (remember those days when you could actually go out to a pub, seems so long ago now!) sober over our anniversary, sober on new years eve then it turned to a negative on new years day when we were planning on announcing to the parents. It was such a shitty way to start the year and can't say the year got any better. So this year I can at least relax, eat drink and be merry over the festive season even if it is just in my house.
Sorry to hear AF arrived for you too @Juno231.

Hopefully IVF clinics will still be able to go ahead this time round @Minster2012 even if there is a lockdown. They'll be more prepared this time round for safety measures unlike last time when everything was still new and unknown. And hopefully the gov will classify clinics as essentials as they'll know the effects of the backlog from last time. 2021 is your year, I can feel it!

Keeping everything crossed for those still waiting to test over the next week 🤞

@Minster2012 I would hope the clinics will be able to run. In the November lockdown he said they could do 🤞🏻🤞🏻 For you (and @notyetamumbuttrying @clolo)

@DKDK123 sorry to hear af arrived for you but glad to hear your putting a positive spin on it. Then you can go at it all guns blazing after enjoying Christmas ☺️
