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

@Haiyaa @larrythelizard @Vil10
we regularly have conversations that go "mummy do you have a Willy?"
"No darling girls don't have willies" "why not" errrrrrrrr go ask your father like @Katao says 🤣omg "make it go down!" @DKDK123 I'm not prepared for that!! @bez91 not prepared for that either!

What is wish?? Ooooo now I'm excited to see what turns up too! I've bought things from aliexpress before Christmas before

@paintfairy you don't know what vienetta tastes like?? @Tornado2Inc do we have some vienetta in the tuck shop??

@unCliche oooo an exciting month for you too then, we've got @clolo & @notyetamumbuttrying doing their ivf this month too!

@MartyMcShy I have that where you wrote infection it should have been injection...don't go giving yourself an infection 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

@blackcurrantqueen glad you've spoken to the doctors, focus on you too don't forget 😘

Oooo @Vil10 you need to put a pic up when your mum has chosen one!

@2020mission nooooooo to testing, don't do it you might have gone past the point of it being reliable

@Crazydoglady123 YESSSSSSSSS THIS IS BRILLIANT COME ON EMBRYOS!! Yesssss Saturday amazing

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH come on little @Crazydoglady123 eggies! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 that is fantastic! So excited for you!

Glad the bleeding has stopped @2020mission, I know it is frightening especially if you are worried about potential bad news but I think a scan might help and will at least get you on EPAU radar. Hope your IC show a big fat line!

Between 6dpo and 8dpo here, discrepancy with my temp/OPK’s 🙄 not too much going on but did feel a bit sick and have been crampy over the last couple of days. Feeling pretty chilly today so in my mind hoping this is implantation and not my body being a fuckboy after the miscarriage and giving me a super short luteal phase 🙏 going to try and test on Saturday and if bfn then Monday.

Wow @Crazydoglady123 that is fantastic news! How many will they transfer on sat?

I think 6 weeks is generally the cut off @2020mission so I'd call if I were you?

🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 it means something @Haiyaa

Sorry @unCliche missed your post! @Minster2012 is right, clolo and I are going through it this month. I'm on long so transfer won't be until early June. @clolo is on short. How about you?
Wish is very similar to shein @Minster2012 if you've ever bought from there? It's just cheap stuff from China, but you can do ok sometimes if you're lucky!
@Haiyaa we're similar timing! I'm gonna test on Sunday at 10dpo 😬

@notyetamumbuttrying it's ok! I've struggled keeping up with the thread so I've mostly been keeping an eye on it. I'm going for the short protocol with ABC Fertility. I have my scan this month with treatment hopefully starting next month. How are you feeling about it all? Are you private or NHS?

@Minster2012 I think I saw you got a BFP???

@unCliche it's defo the fastest thread on MN 😂
Ah ok, we might be similar timings then. I'm nhs so it can be frustrating at times with all the waits but they've been great on the whole. 2nd day of injections and have two weeks of these as it's long protocol so my ovaries are being stopped. We still tried this month so living in fear that I've messed up implantation chances but done now and only time will tell!

Thanks everyone 🥰 @larrythelizard because of our age they "recommend" one but the final decision is ours and we're pretty sure we're going to go for two as we want a big family and I had a healthy full term pregnancy with my son but it does depend on what has survived by Saturday. I read that the drop off comes between day 3 to day 5/6 with 30-50% reaching blastocysts

Oh that's exciting @Crazydoglady123! Will be keeping 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 crossed for you and your little embryos!

Exciting news about the start of your IVF journey @uncliche 🤞

@vil10 puppy cuddles tonight, I'm so jealous! How long is it left now till the puppies are able to be homed?

@2020mission sorry to hear about the bleeding, glad it's stopped tho when it comes to pregnancy never hold back for fear of making a fuss, thats what they're there for to check things are OK and reassure you.

@Crazydoglady123 amazing news on the embryo quality! Bet Saturday can't come quick enough for you 😁

@2020mission sorry to hear about the bleeding - it's still well within the realm of implantation bleeding though! Don't trust the ICs one bit though as you're at the stage where the hook effect kicks in.

@amy00 lovely to hear from you although rubbish you're still TTC!

I joined the Feb bus ('20) so I really can't believe how long I've known some of you ladies for! @paintfairy will always have a soft spot in my TTC heart lol as I remember you from the very beginning. I think I learnt all about TWW spotting from you tbh!

@Juno231 awww 🥰 right back at you!
@Crazydoglady123 I'm so pleased for you. That's brilliant news.
@MartyMcShy the whole thing is an anti climax I found! None of it seemed like a big deal at all! Odd.
@Minster2012 willy conversations. 🤣 And I didn't even know that happened. 😳
@2020mission fingers crossed everything is OK. I'm pleased it's stopped.

@crazydoglady123 woohooo that's bloody fantastic news!!!!!! Yessss xxx

I know I need to stop being so British not watching to make a fuss 😅 head down and get on with it is my usual way. Definitely will ring them if something happens again but all still seems ok. I'll have to be book a last minute private scan soon though for some reassurance.

Sorry @Minster2012 I POAS before reading your message saying don't! It was positive... I diluted it a lot to account for possible hook effect and it showed 2 strong lines on it however of course now it makes me think should it have been showing negative this far along because of the hook effect and the fact it's 2 solid lines means hCG may be on the way down? 😑 lesson learned. Putting them away again!

I was definitely lurking on the bus before I finally joined so think I was watching from February 2020. It was only month 2 of TTC at the time and I thought I wouldn't be around for long and was just lurking on the threads for some info. Soon realised I needed to join as it wasn't going to be that quick at all!

@Crazydoglady123 sounds like a good decision! Hope all goes well on Saturday 😃 🤞 so exciting

Definitely the fastest thread on MN. Taking a far more relaxed approach this month hence not been on. Last af was def like it was back to normal. So fingers crossed. Think I'm due to ovulation early next wk (mon/tues) which suits perfect as DTD over the wkends is not an issue. We love morning sex 🙈 then I'll get him drunk and pounce on his 🍆 job done. Taking epo until Sunday, taking aspirin daily (thanks @minster2012) got some brazil nuts in too. This is my month 🤞🤞
Havent read through all, it's the 6th, have we any bfp. We need a cracker month. We have to be due big numbers, don't we. Lets go for double digits 💕

Ahhhhh yes I've heard of shein @notyetamumbuttrying

@unCliche yes I did though I'm a bit worried after a bleed and scan showing a blood clot and the weeks not matching up so very worried really

@Crazydoglady123 I think 2 is a good decision, even with a toddler we had decided for next ivf we were gonna put 2 back (cheaper that way anyway)

@paintfairy omg you can't believe the conversations you have with children (often o get a better response though than DH) 🤣all to come darling

@2020mission yeah I really don't think the stocks are the answer 🤣I don't think it SHOULD be showing negative honestly don't worry

@minster2012 u ok babes. Playing catch up here

@2alreadywantanother yeah kinda, got bleeding and pain at the weekend so had scan when should of been 6 weeks & they could only see a sac consistent with 4/5 weeks & a blood clot under the sac so gotta take it easy & just hope by the next scan next weds there's showing more or it's already all over really. I don't have any symptoms so don't feel pregnant 🙄🤔but I'm just hoping I'm lucky as opposed to another MMC

@Franklydear ttc is hard to stop especially when af has finished and you start getting hopeful again. I'm poas waiting for a 🙂. Hope DS has a fantastic day. Sorry DH is being moody and unhelpful.
@crazydoglady123 that sounds really hopeful!!! It must be so exciting waiting for your little eggies to be put back in.
@2020mission hope you're alright and managing not too stress too much.
What's the hook effect? I've never heard this before.
@Minster2012 oh no willy talk, after 2 girls I wouldn't have a clue what to say to a boy. If I do ever have a boy he'll be getting sent straight to his Dad!!!

Sorry @minster2012 just caught up on your bleed too, sorry I didn't acknowledge it earlier! 🙈 There's no point in saying don't worry as I know it's impossible but sending big hugs and positive vibes your way for your scan next week.

@minster2013 well u get your feet up and take it easy you hear. Will be thinking of u. Will say a prayer that all is ok xx

Rushed home to use an IC OPK. It's low after this mornings peak on CB 😂 CD7, what is this shit 😂

@Minster2012 I'm pleased you think so. Yeah I'd rather get two out of the way in one go 😂 Then hopefully have something in the freezer for the future would be the absolute goal 💫

@Crazydoglady123 two sounds fantastic, and then extras for siblings,...
@Minster2012 repeat after me, all is good until it isn't...
@jun

@Juno231 how are you feeling? and where's @lucyrp?
Going back from work, thank you all for the congratulations, everything was planned so he would be made a fuzz of on school and after school club, and then cake at home, I had my little cry at midday, I don't know why I do it, but I can't help it, but it's happy tears
Bossboy latest shenanigans, he's asking, quite pissed off frankly, why am I always suspicious of him, don't know, but probably because you're an untrustworthy liar, manipulative little bastard....
I
