A dozen eggs collected in a box, waiting to hatch, someone call the sperminator! TTC bus 40

[Minster2012]

Welcome back to the bus where anything goes, hop aboard, tell us about you & we’ll be here for you (there’s a song in there somewhere!).

This bus has a growing bunch of gorgeous black and white springy pups on board, tortoises & 2 feisty little kittens so bring your pets and pictures are obligatory 🤗.

We’ve got TTC happening in many different forms, shagging conventionally, unconventionally, with the help of scientific intervention, IUI/ICSI/Clomid/IVF & even just watching from the top of the bus 👀. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been trying for days, weeks, months or like some of us we’ve been around each other for so long we can’t bear to leave, nothing is TMI and there’s never a silly question...

Hell we KNOW TTC is tough, lots of us have had heart ache & are chasing 🌈so we are there for each other, as well as trying to have laughs along the way 🥰☺️

Oh and we like an embarrassing story to get your ticket for entry please!

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

Reserving my seat before I hop on 5 stops too late!

@Minster2012 Thankyou for the new bus!! Marking my spot!!

So I'm getting very pissed off, started spotting about Friday and I've been spotting ever since and not started full flow, I mean I know alcohol can affect it and I've drank Saturday and Sunday but come on!!

@Juno231!
Thank you driver 🥰

Thanks @Minster2012 for the new bus! Feels really weird seeing my name on the new bumps list! 🤭

Haven't really caught up on the last of the old bus as been hectic at work and juggling fatigue and sickness lol! Supposed to have my second covid jab this Friday but I don't think I'm gonna go? Any opinions if it's safe to have whilst pregnant?
5 weeks today and have booked a private scan for 21st May, midwife rang and is sending my appts for scans and booking in appt in the post; should arrive this week.

Sorry for any bfns :( @paintfairy fingers crossed the second round! Like the others have said atleast they can see what tweaks etc need to be made to the meds now :)

How is everyone else doing??

Flops down at the back.....

Joining again and hoping to see more than 5 BFPs in May 🤞

@Vil10 I spotted for up to 5 days before AF some months 🙄 not fun!

Just taking my seat, thanks for setting up the bus @Minster2012!

Hopping on and bringing lots of snacks

Taking my seat 💛

Marking my spot X thanks bus driver x

Hey 👋🏾
May is ivf month yay!!
@clolo and I are on similar trajectories. I'm earmarked in for EC on 28th 😃

Hopping on 🚌 I'll sit at the back with my legs sprawled across the back seats pretending I'm super relaxed this month 😆

I am just going to sit on the roof until the 19th and then will found out where in the bus I belong

I may as well ask if there's a monthly bus pass at this rate? ;)

On PMT wars with everyone and everything waiting for my induced period for my last bit of bloods for the progesterone check day 1-3 after hitting a whopping cycle day 73 so far, here's to my long cycle sisters 💁🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️

MIL in law is in the firing line for majority of it these days making comments such as "you don't know what it's like" when my hubs asked his brother to spend time with him (as he's got a newborn), feel like giving her a golden sticker for that remark for stating the obvious.. yes I don't know what it's like because at the moment it's seeming like I could be infertile you slack cow 😩😩😩😩 and breathe...

I'll sit on the back seat in the corner with a warning sign saying moody bitch approach with caution!! 😂😂😂🥺

Boarding!

CD11 here, according to Femometer, I've been actively ovulating since CD6 😂 It's my DH's lucky month (speaking of sperminators) 😂

Thanks for the spot on the bus! Here's my homemade gender reveal cake 😍

(throws bag of crisps toward @kaylsd )

@Tornado2Inc

(throws bag of crisps toward *@kaylsd* )

Appreciated 😂😂😘

I'm taking my seat down the back too, thanks @Minster2012! Love the new title too!

Ah @kaylsd, that sucks. Why are people so insensitive and just assume every woman can get pregnant at the drop of a hat? Winds me up so much. I know so many people who have struggled to get pregnant, have miscarried, adopted etc and still people think other people's family planning is any of their bloody business 🤨

How are you feeling @Juno231? Is the shoulder pain gone?

It's great to see more ivf appointments this month. I know what you mean about your tummy doing flips @clolo, it's exciting but the nerves!

Still no sign of af here but checked back and I've had a 29 and 31 day cycle in the past few months. Today is day 27 which has been the norm but hey when has that ever stopped af?!

Jumping on, somewhere in the midst of the 2ww but bbt and OPK’s got me like 🤔 👀

Love the cake @Kirky658! Hope you had a good time albeit a very rainy day!

Woohoo for ec buddies @clolo and @notyetamumbuttrying, hoping for some bumper harvests like @crazydoglady123!

@Hopeful110 guidance is that vaccine is safe for all stages of pregnancy but do speak to your GP. Logically I would expect you to have Pfizer or Moderna as pregnant ladies are at a higher risk of clotting so you might not be able to get a vaccine right away anyway. In the USA they have been routinely vaccinating pregnant women from the outset so some good data to base any decisions on. I’m fully vaccinated now bar any potential “booster” but if I were pregnant I would have it but probably wait until 2nd trimester but only for my own neurotic peace of mind rather than any real evidence.

@kaylsd sorry MIL is being an insensitive bitch (even if she doesn’t know it!).

@Tornado2Inc careful you don’t wear it out 😂🍆
