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

On that thread @Franklydear not sure I could be friends with someone who didn't like vienetta tbh.

@Minster2012 I have failed to find such a person yet, ...
And the celebrations have began! Some years we even get a bank holiday for his birthday....
I shall be known as the tortoise tailor, I shaw a black tie outfit, I might try, they can be our butlers

Sounds like fun @Franklydear, and of course a miracle such as that deserves to be celebrated in style! I’m with you and @Minster2012 on the vienetta front. Absolute classic, especially the mint one!

Erm how did you keep a straight face @Minster2012? I would be absolutely mortified 😂😂😂 being a mum to boys does not sound easy 😂

Oh @InkyPaper sounds a tough day all round.

Pup pictures always cheer you up @Vil10, they're gorgeous!

Ah yeah mine is unable to read the calendar @Franklydear!! Happy Birthday your DS, I hope you all have a lovely day!

🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 @2020mission

That sounds a really positive appt @Billythecat and a fab dr with a great plan!

@Minster2012 my DS thinks DH's Willy is up there with the funniest things he's seen. Make of that what you will...!

I pressed post too early. I think I'm creeping towards ovulation, haven't yet had a chance to dunk my FMU in a pot.

I have discovered wish and ordered a load of shit...no idea if it'll ever actually show up?!

@bez91 cd7! This is the kind of fuck boy nonsense I had going on last year, annovulatory cycles, short cycles etc. I think cd9 was the earliest I actually ovulated (if i actuallydid) . I would definitely continue to test with ics as it may be a false peak.

Happy birthday to your ds @Franklydear

@Minster2012 ues definitely divertall willy questions to daddy. That's one department they can take full parental responsibility for 😂

@Katao AF due today. I think the progesterone might delay it though slightly. I didn't use it last night but was before that. I'm spotting a lot this morning. My rhr is still at 66 mind. 🤣
@bez91 surely not?! 9 was my earliest ever and that I thought was ridiculous.
@larrythelizard I don't know what wish is?
@Franklydear I'm not sure I know what vienetta really tastes like!

Wish is a website/app that sells Chinese crap dirt cheap (I paid £1 for a coat!) but shipping is about the same as the goods...I'm not really expecting what arrives to look anything like what the website shows @paintfairy

@bez91 I'm the opposite - CD18 here and no ovulation yet!

@larrythelizard really? Bizarre! You'll have to let us know what turns up!

Not quite sure if I'm taking a seat, sitting on the roof or hanging onto the back of the bus with a skateboard but I'm here in some form 😂

Happy birthday to your DS @franklydear sounds like he's got some fun times planned 🎂

@Minster2012 the willy chat in toddlerhood is definitely not something they prepare you for! I usually get the "Make it go down!" as he tries to hold it down 🙄

@larrythelizard I've ordered from wish, its a bit of a lucky dip quality wise, some things are great others only worth binning but for the price it's worth the gamble. I've never ordered clothes tho it was just things to make decorations for our wedding. Some things did take up to 3 months to arrive tho.

Just dropping some calming scenic pics from our much needed relaxing time up north last week.

Aw there's a new thread! Commenting to keep track of everything/everyone although I probably won't comment much.
Will be embarking on IVF this month so will be back to update on how that's going. Good luck everyone 💕

Love the beach huts @DKDK123! I have mainly ordered stuff to decorate for DS's 2nd birthday but also some other random stuff!

Happy birthday to your DS @franklydear! Sounds like ye have some great celebrations lined up, enjoy them. Made me lol about measuring Doug too...just stay still Doug ffs!! 😂 he'd be a lovely little butler!

@Inkypaper, sorry lovely, that sounds tough. Try not let your mind run away with worst case scenario in the meantime.

I think I need all those lovely puppies to snuggle me @Vil10, they are divine!

@bez91, feckin opks! I got a static day 9 before but defo didn't ovulate for another few days so use the cheap ones too I reckon. Headfuck.

@2020mission, hope you're doing ok and can get seen soon 🤞

Good start to the day there @Minster2012 🤣 defo leave that one to dad to explain!!

Thanks for the pics @dkdk123, I want to go to the beach now! I hope you're doing ok.

@Billythecat, great news. It's so good to have a doctor who is in your corner and helping you out. Fingers crossed the appt will come through soon.

Gave myself my first infection for IUI last nt. It was grand, don't know why I thought it would be worse!! I am in the hopeful stage now. Probably won't last long so might as well enjoy it!

Oh good luck with the ivf @unCliche, just saw your message!

Happy Birthday Mini Frankly @Franklydear 🍰🎂🍭

@Minster2012 hope DS is over his morning shock 😂 look forward to hearing about his chat with daddy.

@larrythelizard we need more info on what you bought 😂

@bez91 have you got any cheapies you can correlate with? Last cycle I didn't start until cd8 and then I had 3 days of low and then straight to static. But the cheapies were actually getting stronger for 3 days after the static!
This month I'm CD11 and started CD7 and got flashing the last two days xx

@Billythecat good news on the appointment the dr sounds brilliant 🤞🏼

@2020mission fingers crossed the bleeding is nothing, have you managed to speak to EPU?

@Vil10 I can't cope with those pups they're adorable! 😍

I am very excited for tortoise outfits @Justanothercyster @Franklydear

@Sausage1990 ooh I will have a listen to that podcast thank you!!

@Crazydoglady123 do we get any embryo updates today? 🤗

CD11 here; on flashing smileys, taking all the vitamins and drinking the pom and grapefruit!
I've been poorly this last week, called the drs today and they think I might have gastritis so going to prescribe me some omeprazole to try!
Really hoping it helps 🤞🏼

@Franklydear happy birthday to your ds🥳

@bez91 @larrythelizard @MartyMcShy @blackcurrantqueen Thankyou girls they really are adorable!! My mums going tonight with us to see which she likes!! Very exciting!!

@Minster2012 your son😂 brilliant😂😂

Oh that doesn't sound fun @blackcurrantqueen! I'll report back on my order when (if!) It arrives, I have high hopes for a '2' light but no idea what size it should be!!

Thanks for the support ladies. The bleeding stopped quickly last night and have since just got the odd brown tinged CM when wiping and no pain so haven't called the EPU yet. I don't want to make a fuss but I've got the number ready to call if it starts again. I'm still only just a day passed 6 weeks so doubt they'd see me this early without heavier bleeding and/or pain. Hoping it's just hormones and my cervix being a bit irritated 🤞still feeling sick today with sore boobs. I've got some IC tests coming today so I can check I'm still showing positive on tests. I was hoping to be done with the tests too 😅

@Franklydear hope your boy has a lovely 🥳

Hope everyone else is doing well... struggling to keep up here this week.

@Minster2012 literally crying at your DS Willy comments 🤣🤣🤣 I'm so lucky to have escaped that with my son!

@2020mission hope you're okay? Is it not worth calling and seeing if you can get an early scan to check?

@blackcurrantqueen sorry to hear you're poorly! Hope you feel better soon!

Sooo I've finished crying happy tears. Day 3 update and all our embryos are going strong! 8 of the 9 are of good qualify which is apparently the highest grade they can give at this stage (plus 2 of the 8 are at day 4 stage already!) and 1 embryo is of average quality. Transfer booked in for 10.30am Saturday 🥰

@Haiyaa @Minster2012 @Katao @paintfairy @larrythelizard @MartyMcShy yes ladies thanks for the moral support on my fuck boy body currently crossing my legs to get home and use a IC OPK to see if that sheds any light on the situation

@MartyMcShy glad the injection wasn't too bad. I don't have any experience but

@Minster2012 @larrythelizard the Willy talk 😆 my DD goes through phases of being obsessed with the female and male anatomy, she'll go through all her nursery friends commenting "well Alfie's got a Willy because he's a boy and me and Neve and Ava have Minnies because we're girls" and this goes on through about 30 kids 🤦🏼‍♀️

@larrythelizard nothing on an OPK at CD18?

@2020mission that's really good news, hope it stays away!

@Crazydoglady123 wowwww that's so exciting! I bet it feels so strange to say you'll be pregnant by Saturday 😳😊

@MartyMcShy grrrr cut and paste in the wrong place I meant to say don't have any experience but surely you will get more used to it

@Crazydoglady123 fantastic news 💕💕💕💕

@Crazydoglady123 yay 😃 excellent news!! So happy for you 😀
@2020mission so glad the bleeding has stopped now, fingers crossed that it was just a one off thing and all will be well ♥️
@Franklydear happy birthday to your son, hope he has a great day!
@DKDK123 gorge snaps, making me jel! Hope you had a lovely time 😍
@Vil10 thanks for the MN anniversary love last night 😂 same to you too 😘😏

Just flying post from me, busy day today and I fucked up yesterday so have spent the morning trying to salvage and think I've done! 😬

@Minster2012 deal 😂

@Crazydoglady123 yay!! That's amazing news 💕💕
