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

@Sausage1990 I'm so so sorry lovely ❤️ the biggest of hugs for you ❤️

@Sausage1990 my heart is breaking for you and there are no words, but we are here xxxx

@Minster2012 haha I'm such a nun, we rarely drink. I do get that feeling from a good meal out though, can't wait to sit in a restraint again!

@Lexber mine never hurt in the tww apart from what I call fire nipples haha, 6 weeks is when the intense boob pain was driving me nuts. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Sorry about bfn lovely @InkyPaper 💔 I know, that's why I never used to test haha

@Vil10 Ahhh 🤞🏼🎉

@Juno231 no way 😂 and that looks amazing!

@pennysays Sorry about bfn, that sucks but like you said not over yet

I know I already said but hugs again @Sausage1990 💕

@Minster2012 my husband's birthday was right as we got the BFP and his family bought him so much beer so he has been drinking on Saturdays to work through them. He said once he's ran out of them he will stop drinking in solidarity 😆 we'll see if that actually happens. I was missing my weekend wine until I lost my appetite and started feeling a bit sick now it's a struggle to sip water so couldn't care less about alcohol! The one perk of feeling sick.

@Sausage1990 there are no words. Literally

@Justanothercyster yeah just decide nearer the time, that's a good plan, maybe think how you'd feel if each person asked you, would you mind telling them or decide what you'd say could always say you'd rather not talk about it or tell them then say that if you don't want to talk about it

Oh @Sausage1990 I'm so so sorry. We're here with you to send hugs and hold your hand xxxx

And I'm also sorry for you @bez91 at the lack of compassion and feeling from the dr xxx

@notyetamumbuttrying she really is! and I'll be able to keep posting pics when he grows!!

@Juno231 Bertie! Omg that's cute!

@DKDK123 that's just awful!! Why could they not have rang to tell you it was a mistake when they initially sent the letter! I'm sorry, sending hugs x

@pennysays sorry for bfn x

@Minster2012 I love it too!!

@InkyPaper Thankyou lovely x

@paintfairy well my mum wants Bertie over trigger because her other dog is called Henry so Bertie goes with it better!

@bez91 I'm so sorry for a shitty doctor!! It's like they have no sympathy!!

@Sausage1990 oh I am so so sorry, my heart is breaking for you! Sending you all the love and hugs in the world right now❤️

@Sausage1990 oh hun I'm so so sorry, I know there's nothing anyone can say. Please take care of yourself, we're all here if you need us xx

@Vil10 and see him! How lovely for you 🙂

@Sausage1990 I'm absolutely heart broken for you. I know there are no words we can say that will help take away the pain just now but know that we're all here for you 💕

@bez91, no rearrangement they said it was a mistake at the GPS end as it came through to them as a duplicate referral. They've already ran tests and done scans and couldn't find any reason for the fertility problems other than their advice that some overweight people can get pregnant easily and some can't so lose weight and that might help (my BMI is 35.5 so I definitely do need to shift weight but personally it feels like such a cop out especially being on here and knowing so many who aren't overweight are also struggling ttc!) Sorry to hear your doctor call this morning was shitty too. I dont think they realise the emotional impact ttc has on people!

@Juno231 I really don't know. I was a teary mess after the call and in times like that I just constantly question whether its worth it, we'll have been trying 2years in August with 6 CPs, it just feels like life has been on hold 2 years of misery and not able to fully enjoying the DS I've been blessed to have as my head is on the ttc rollercoaster. But now I've stopped being an emotional wreck I've swung the other way and feel like just going at ttc full pelt again and getting pregnant by myself as a big f*you I can get pregnant myself to the unhelpful medical profession 😂 It really is such a headfuck of a journey for everyone isn't it 🤯

@Vil10 I know, talk about leaving it last minute, I'd already done all the paperwork to get the morning off work on Monday and then had to explain to my boss that I'd be in afterall. Luckily she knows about our ttc journey and was just as annoyed at the clinic on my behalf.

@Dollybird89 I've slipped behind on the dance workouts recently any recommendations for some of the new ones to get my dance mojo back?

@DKDK123 it's a cop out. Last time I TTC I weighed 10kg more than I do now and I conceived twice in the time I've been trying now (lost one though).

@DKDK123 the month i got pregnant was actually the month i went full pelt at calorie counting and going to the gym, i think mainly because i was focusing on something else but also the weight loss may have helped !

@Sausage1990 I'm so so sorry. Heartbroken for you 💔 this is so unfair! If u need anything at all u know where I am. Big hugs ❤❤ xx

@Sausage1990 I'm so sorry. I don't know what to say. How awful for you. Hugs xxxx

Oh @Sausage1990 I'm so sorry to hear your news, please take care of yourself. Sending love xx

Oh @Sausage1990 I'm so so sorry. That's unbelievably cruel.

Thanks everyone - I appreciate the support. I'm in shock still, absolutely gutted & just feeling a bit broken...

Ive got a telephone call on Monday with the Dr to plan the next steps but we do know that they will send off the pregnancy to be tested to see if we can find out why this is happening, and I'll be referred to the reoccuring miscarriage clinic.

DH & I aren't quite sure what to do with ourselves so we've watched some of The Hobbit and I'm going to have a nice bath now to try to relax a bit before having a little sleep. I feel exhausted. I never thought I'd be one of those people who've had multiple miscarriages, I thought it would be 3rd time lucky for us. Unfortunately not. Hope we can get some answers over the next month or so but for now I think it's just going to be a rough little ride. Love you girls so much xx

@Sausage1990 take care of each other, that's all you can do right now. I'm so sorry this is happening. You deserve so much more x

@Sausage1990 good self care there. We're all here for you as you know ♥️♥️

@DKDK123 😱on the mix up but yesssss get a fuck you pregnancy (like I feel I am!) come on girl 😘bit on the dog house, i actually watched the first series, love it!

@Tornado2Inc for @Lexber "let no wee wee go to waste" 🤣😂 gotta be a title in there somewhere 🙌🏻

@bez91 got I hate it when doctors are like that it's so emotional it's so frustrating

@larrythelizard thank you 😘

@pennysays def shouldn't go on rollercoasters pregnant, though this whole thing is a bloody rollercoaster sorry for the BFN, Bombay mix legit any time of the day, I think I've eaten half a tub of Haagen Dazs this afternoon

@Dollybird89 yes how's your 100 squats a day in may going? I'm gutted I can't do it now 😫totally not liking this sedentary life no proper exercise!

@Madeoftea how you feeling?

@Sausage1990 darling no one should be allowed more than one miscarriage, it's just not fair. I'm pleased they will do testing, you look after each of you.

@Minster2012 I will be waiting patiently for the bus 41 🤣

If anyone needs a giggle this one is good!
