Meaty periods, ivf roadmaps & announcing BFPS on tannoy 📢TTC Bus 31

[Minster2012]

We’ve got the fastest TTC 🚌in the UK & we aren’t afraid of a modification or 2 as we have a bus with a beautiful panoramic roof seat where there is wine & snacks a plenty for those that need a bit of a breather from our race car but still hang on to our ride! 🌞

We thought we might make it to Valentine’s Day ♥️💓 but oh no we talk too much! If you want to talk most things other than TTC we are the right bus, tv, (married at first sight what the hell?!), pets, annoying DHs, good food & exactly how many orgasms should we be having?

We’ve got a rowdy bus of newbies, oldies with history, excited ladies going forwards for IVF & pregnant mates we can’t get rid of...& February is gonna be BIG!

So grab your crotchless panties and not much else for Valentine’s Day 💓and invite your men (or women folk) to dinner cos they are being treated like a REAL LADY. Forget January blues. February is where it’s at and we say UP YOURS TTC, we are cumming to get you 🙌🏻🥰

And if you see mention of my blog then blame these guys they made me do it...#shamelessplug

Need to catch up but not feeling great, this has gone well though as DH made the coq au vin I was meant to do (but with partridge) so obviously there was red wine open

Will catch up shortly when on sofa

@Kirky658 sorry to hear you twisted yourself but with no pain or anything it sounds like everything is fine hun. And because you didn’t actually fall it’s highly unlikely to cause damage at the point.

@bez91 as this is also our issue...I’ve done quite a bit of research on it and apparently new theory is repeated miscarriage can be very much down to sperm and the DNA. Obviously who the bloody hell knows...but defo can’t be discounted!

@Florence13 🤣 Well, I was lying there with my legs open by that point. What could I do? She just suddenly went- hope you don't mind the head torch, I can't see otherwise, and turned it on. 🙈
@Minster2012 How do you feel today? Have you talked things over with DH? Everything OK?

@paintfairy oh my goodness bless you 🙈 yes guess you couldn’t back out if you were already in position.

@florence13 thanks lovely ❤️
@paintfairy omg that made me chuckle, head torch!!

We've just decided to book 4 nights in an air bnb cottage in Cumbria for August for our anniversary. Need something to look forward to and we can cancel foc till the day before! I mean I'll be 7.5 months then but hopeful I'll still enjoy it!

@paintfairy glad you had a productive meeting! Good to know how to move forward at least

@Kirky658 you definitely deserve being waiting on- glad you are feeling better now

@Minster2012 food sounds yummy! Can you remind me of where to find your blog/insta please?

We still haven’t done cleaning or packing we will regret that buy the time we get to the weekend definitely! Work has been quite busy for both of us though so using that as a pretty crap excuse haha. Can’t wait to be in the new house! Less excited about the tidying on the other end though. Hoping to get a hot tub fairly soon though which is nice to think about all of DH’s siblings and his parents have one so we are a bit envious of that!

@billythecat thanks lovely! When's your completion date? My parents have a hot tub, it's an inflatable lazy spa one though so they put it away over the winter as it was so cold they don't go in it as much x

@Florence13 whaaaaaat! But harsh then!

@paintfairy bless him. Yes it's hard for men I think, big stigma against it. Intervention is so common though and at the end of the day you'll have a bub. My dh was very honest when we told his parents and mine bless him, he gets upset sometimes but says he would rather have intervention if it meant our miracle baby coming sooner ❤️

@bez91 oh dear haha!

@Vil10 I know haha, the things we do eh!

@Kirky658 sounds lovely!

Right. Catching up. Bear with me. Pirate here

@Catherinettc 7 kids next door? If there's something in the water round you guys send that. Not wee. Ta babes.

@Justanothercyster @paintfairy @Juno231 @bez91
etc I just told DH about he should be on the Pom & nuts & he was like 🤨what is it with these men?? We do it's ok for us to pop all the pills/drugs etc?? Maybe we should take out another mortgage??

@Vil10 I'm hoping your appointment with your doc can ask all your concerns, it's worthwhile writing down your questions whilst you remember 😚

@Franklydear & @DOB78 I don't think you should be worrying about perimemopause ladies

@Kirky658 get your ass rested girl no rushing on ice. That's an order! We were talking about booking a break too!

@Juno231 figs. Noted.

@paintfairy that sounds great! Who knew sperm needed a wash?! Shall we add them to the douching list??? It's good you've not got a rainfall then eh?? So if ppl are getting spotting they really should get checked out then 🤔so if you have IUI and that doesn't work can you then have IVF? I know that's like worst case. And what did I say about the bloke thing..."it's not meant to happen this way" no it's not. But when IT HAS TO then you MAN UP.

@notyetamumbuttrying thank you hun and thank you hun 😍☺️

@Florence13 that sounds like mine tbh (I'm still on smear tests here) 🤪at my last one I coughed at the wrong moment & she went "if you could refrain from that please or I could get lost in here" she didn't say it with a chuckle so I can only gather that my vag IS AN ACTUAL CAVE and a source of natural wonder and we are back to that's why all the good sperm slip down the slide back out again right?? I think she needed a head torch like *@paintfairy*s had. A search light probably.

@Franklydear blame the hormones. It's always the hormones. No matter what time of the month. Hugs to you, always my wing woman. 😘get thee to bed

@bez91 wtf?? And you haven't punched him yet?? Oooo there comes @Thinkingandblinking with some research to tell him next time he says that. Take that Mr Bez.

@Billythecat its www.minstermusings.co.uk
Instagram same name but Instagram only snippets, blog tells my story. If you sign up you'll get updates when I post, if you want to comment use a username not linked to MN but my friends are on there too. When do you move? I'd love a hot tub! Prob not wise with lots of medications tho for me, tends to end in sick spells but I usually book holidays with hot tubs 🤪

So ladies. Yeah nearly new bus time & im struggling looking at typing but I'll do my best.

Seeing as we offend a lot & we STILL HAVEN'T MADE IT TO VALENTINES what do we name it?

@Skip86 suggested Naming it in honour of The OP of the other moan thread previously...we've not heard from the other side of the pond in a while (hope you are ok darling) she was called SAD.PAPER.COURTESAN. but without the dots, so we could go

"Hoping not to be a paper mistress for Valentine's Day?" Or
"Courting a miserable paper mistress" or she said

"Not to piss on anyone's chips but the conception titles...."

So we could be...
"Pissing on AIBUs chipsticks"

Or just be us?
"Lake Spermos, Bermuda Triangles & Ninja Rollers"

Or
"Shower sex, douching & pissing on AIBU chipsticks"

Whaddya think girls??

@Minster2012 aww, love you, don't have much energy to respond but reading everything, offending miss courtesan could be a good start of the title and she'll have to read it often....

@minster2012 hahaha your smear story 🤣🤣🤣 i can't believe she said that "I could get lost in here" LMAO 🤣🤣🤣 i don't know how I'd react to that!!!

And I think we should just be us... I like "Lake Spermos, Bermuda Triangles & Ninja Rollers"

So quick question... Why does progesterone suck so much?! Seriously why isn't it easier to know if it's pms or pregnancy?! I am absolutely knackered. Yesterday & today I've needed a nap after work and I'm now sat on the sofa feeling WIPED OUT 🥱Jesus. I will not symptom spot, I will not symptom spot, I will not symptom spot 😣 even tho I'm only 7dpo and i don't think I'm pregnant at all, but I really don't want to see a BFN or see af arrive. The thought make my heart hurt. Hormones are shit. Sorry for making this about me. I forgot how torturous the TWW is 🙈

Sorry that was written with a frustrated tone but it came across as more down the dumps. I'm not miserable just frustrated. X

@Sausage1990 me and you both, hot water bottle in the making and I am heading back to bed, I don't know if DH is more pissed off at making the bottles for the whole household, or doing bed time solo again....

Liking all of the titles, could always go for a combo:

Sad paper pissy chips floating on an AIBU lake spermo?

Dildo cams wading through lake spermo in search of Bermuda triangles?

Could all paper courtesans, please mind the flap between the pissy chips and lake spermo? - going with your tannoy/underground theme.

Basically I’m down for whatever is the most gross and makes us all smile! I can see why you do this, it’s really fun. Paper courtesan obviously has a bag of pissy chips stuck up their arse 😂

Just seen your update @paintfairy, all looking very positive!

@Kirky658 we can be hormonal together!

@Gem176 omg that sounds like bliss! Hate waiting for the letters!😫🤣

Sorry haven't been on here much tonight but my phones been going mad. We announced on social media tonight and can't believe how many notifications I've had 😅🥰

@Minster2012 I vote more us with lake spermos and Bermuda Triangle

@Sausage1990 sorry to hear your feeling so frustrated but I hear you and feel exactly the same way hun. I’m also symptom spotting but pretending I’m not 🤔 and to much of a wimp to test even though I’m pretty sure I could and it would give me a straight up answer. Kind of like the lingering hope I’m holding on to right now.

Does this lady not know we piss on stick, no one pisses on chips...

@Sausage1990 @Franklydear I’ve also retreated to bed with weird period like pains and general anxiety over it all, just popped my cyclogest up..sexy yay! 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Minster2012 your smear story 😂😂😂😂

I like the AIBU chipsticks line 😂
I think nothing too bad or mumsnet will come in and give us all a dressing down again 😂

Evening you lovely lot.

Sorry I haven't been on today. And thank you to everyone who wrote a message about my BFN today. I'm ok about it and just going to wait on AF to show this weekend.

Haven't caught up properly but will in my bed later.

Hope your all doing ok.

Can't believe it's nearly new bus time. @Minster2012 I like the lake spermos one she will hate that 😂😂

@lucyrp how lovely enjoy every minute of announcing.

Xxx

@Franklydear glad your feeling a bit more normal. Enjoy an early night and your hot water bottle. Much love.

Xx

@paintfairy so pleased it went well and sounds very positive xxx

@Sausage1990 Its such a horrible time to wait I can't stand it . I say I won't but I drive myself mad symptom spotting and according to Google pretty much everything is a positive sign. I think I'll be heartbroken if I see 1 line this month. At least whatever happens we have all the amazing supportive ladies in the group. I really hope you get your BFP x

@Sausage1990 you don't SUCK the progesterone lovely. No no no that's not how you do it!! Oh wait, you aren't saying that! That's some really good "not symptom spotting" going on there! Keep it up! Only a few days left then you are in legit territory

@Juno231 are you listening??? 👂🏻👂🏻Few days left. Few days left few days left @Thinkingandblinking I'm putting you in there too. Sit on your hands. @DJmum83 you aren't out yet.

@Florence13 @Dollybird89 you take their hands and stop them right?? There was someone else?? Who else is in your crew?? 👆🏻

So looks like lake spermo is winning

@Haiyaa oooo see it's a great game we have to play every time we hit the 900s (like EVERY 2 WEEKS!) You are good!! But there's a limit to how much we can fit in & you have to put TTC bus gazillion in too

@Thinkingandblinking I know who does that right?? Waste of chips FFS

@blackcurrantqueen nothing too bad?? Me??? Can I still drive??? 🥺

@lucyrp 💋💋🥰🥰

I quite like the idea of getting AIBU in but it will draw attention 🤪
