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

minstermusings.co.uk for the blog that’s where the full stuff happens
& minstermusings on insta - some of our ladies have made special anonymous accounts so we can link up via me 🥰

@Minster2012 damn, I'm part of the wrong thread 🤣

DKDK123 · 07/05/2021 16:32

@Sausage1990 I know it doesn't help you guys at all right now but I'm glad that they're able to do testing in the hope that you get fixable answers and you never have to go through this heartache again, no one should have to do it once let alone 3 times. Sending you all the strength and support in the world to get you through the next while 😘

DKDK123 · 07/05/2021 16:38

@Minster2012 your pregnancy was 100% a fuck you to all the shit life kept trying to throw at you pregnancy! 💪
Don't know what I'm going to do differently as it's not like we haven't been trying for the past 2 years but I've decided I 100% will fall pregnant AND keep my jellybean past the 6 week mark before this summer is out. Here's to a fuck you pregnancy 🥳

Amy00 · 07/05/2021 16:47

@DKDK123 I LOVE the Dog House!!! It's so good!! I cry every episode sometimes happy tears though. Omg that clinic messing you around like that is NOT ok. How upsetting!! Has it made you feel like you might want to keep going though? Are you in with the recurring mc clinic?

@Tornado2Inc omg imagine shit on a stick 😱

@Vil10 ahhhh so adorable 🥰 keep those photo coming!!

Fingers crossed for everyone's holiday plans...!

@Juno231 that cottage is so cute! Although missed the outdoor loo @InkyPaper 😂

@Sausage1990 So sorry to hear this. I was really rooting for you, we had our mc's similar times last year and have been so happy for you. You must be devastated. I'm so sorry lovely 😞 look after yourself and take one day at a time x

Tornado2Inc · 07/05/2021 16:50

@Amy00 imagine having to dilute it first 😕 a cupful of first morning faeces 🤣

Amy00 · 07/05/2021 16:50

Sorry for double posting but got shocked into pressing post by sausage's news.

I'm 6 dpo and I need putting right on the naughty step as I just poas aaaaaand obviously it is a BFN. At 6dpo and in the afternoon - what am I thinking!!!! It's because in my mind they don't really cost anything, I have a pack of 50 from Amazon for like £12 so might as well use them. 😬

Crazydoglady123 · 07/05/2021 16:54

@Sausage1990 I'm so heartbroken for you reading this 💔 I hope they find some answers for you. Take it easy. Sending you lots of love

notyetamumbuttrying · 07/05/2021 17:03

@Minster2012 haha yes, that's good too! I think everyone's got the Friday feeling today 😂
@lucyrp it's excellent right 😂
@Lexber I know right 😆
@DKDK123 great attitude hun! We're all with you too ♥️
@Amy00 ooh I've not seen this show, what channel is it on?

DOB78 · 07/05/2021 17:05

@Sausage1990 I am so so sorry there are no words that are going to make this any better. Just be gentle on yourself and feel how you feel, let it all out. You know you have a safe space here to vent if needed. Sending you hugs xx

Minster2012 · 07/05/2021 17:20

@Tornado2Inc this is ABSOLUTELY the thread for you!

@Amy00 6dpo in the afternoon is that a record??? Must be surely! I'm currently rinsing the second series of the dog house!

@Lexber and @notyetamumbuttrying you know my friend told me to send a card with shit loads of glitter in it to the "friend of MILs" who was the seller of the house we got gazumped on, say "good luck" with glitter 🤣😂jizz would be fun too!

@DKDK123 yessssssssssss we will manifest it & dream it too

What was the holiday result @Vil10 & @Kirky658 ? Reminds me need to sort DHs passport out

OP posts:
Franklydear · 07/05/2021 17:29

@Sausage1990 oh no, heartbreaking 💔
@notyetamumbuttrying go and have a good time, if they are good enough friends you can only get alies, disclaimer irl I wouldn't tell them

Franklydear · 07/05/2021 17:44

@Amy00 well, I never post in one go, I mean I have soo many things in my head
@Minster2012 get your ass in gear with the passport, current average wait is 10 weeks
And do the glitter, yes!
I think I'll have a nice wine tonight, I had such an emotional rollercoaster week, and today wasn't very good, bossboy has decided I am a bitch again, as he was nice for 5 minutes and I didn't pampered to him, luckily everyone else saw what an asshole he is today and even his mates came to say to ignore him, he's not worth my time (or my head space)
DH is a bag of nerves, bless him, he didn't expect the promotion, he has a meeting to negotiate salary @Juno231 he knows what he is worth, they gave him a 6% raise a couple of months ago
@Sausage1990 look after yourself, I am devastated for you, here for whatever you need, you know that

Franklydear · 07/05/2021 17:46

Ooh I forgot @Lexber I am also being gentle after all this time, I can't take the drama anymore but we'll have to watch out for @Tornado2Inc shell have us peeing at 8 dpo

Tornado2Inc · 07/05/2021 17:48

@Franklydear @Lexber I normally start at 6dpo 😂

Franklydear · 07/05/2021 17:54

@Tornado2Inc 🤦

Tornado2Inc · 07/05/2021 17:56

@Franklydear 😂😂😂

notyetamumbuttrying · 07/05/2021 18:21

@Minster2012 jizz and cock glitter would've been fab 😂 ✨
@Franklydear thank you. I've known these girls for 25 years so I should just tell them rather than not go. I think I'll see what I can get away with first.
Good luck to your Dh for when he has his meeting! Sorry boss boy was being a prick again!
@Tornado2Inc haha that is so early 😆 you'll be ok with me poas at 10dpo then!

DOB78 · 07/05/2021 18:27

@Amy00 oh dear off into poas corner for you. Its too easy with ic's coz they cost pennies so piddle away.

So even though I said I wasn't going to FW arrived so I've been weeing on opk's waiting for a 🙂 loads of ewcm for 3 days but no peak yet. Also have 3 different ov dates on 3 different apps, so much for stepping back and chilling out🤭

Tornado2Inc · 07/05/2021 18:28

@notyetamumbuttrying haha, I'd say that's too late 🤣 if I get BFN around 10dpo, I count myself out 😂

To be fair, I've had 4 BFPs so far, and they were all vvfls at 8dpo, so... yeah, that's my excuse 🤣 also, we often have wine with our evening adult meal, so better be safe!

But yeah, people, don't do it. I just find poas fun, but there is no reason upsetting yourself so early on!

Jam291 · 07/05/2021 18:31

Hi all!
I hope you don’t mind me joining? I’m not sure if you can see my previous posts, I have a history, MMC, then DS, then another MC two months ago. Anyway we are TTC#2.
I’m in my TWW and trying so so hard not to test or symptom spot!
However today, I’ve had pinching aches in my uterus, very noticeable pain like, hard to ignore, it’s been on and off all day. Very random. I’m CD16/17, I think I ovulated very early this month around CD11, 27 day cycles.
I’m not sure when I ovulate as I became obsessed with the sticks and stuff last time so TRYING to hold back from them and don’t temp. But I have a lot of EWCM on a certain day a month.
Anyway, not sure what I’m looking for but HELLO! I need people TTC to chat to to save myself going crazy haah!
Xxx

notyetamumbuttrying · 07/05/2021 18:44

@DOB78 it's nearly impossible right!! 🤦🏾‍♀️
@Tornado2Inc tbh I think I will too! So is that 4 cps then? Are you able to go to the epu now? Yeah that makes sense too.
@Jam291 hello 👋🏾 welcome to the crazy bus! I think the rule is embarrassing story for your ticket. So sorry about your recent MC. I hope this is your month then!! Good luck 🤞🏾

Tornado2Inc · 07/05/2021 18:49

@notyetamumbuttrying 1cp 4years ago, 2 earlier this year, and 1 DD (3yo)🙂

Not sure tbh, haven't really thought of that route yet! My cps were pretty short lived, a day or two max.if I were a normal person and not catch them at 8dpo, I'd never even know. I don't think much of it 🤷🏼‍♀️

bez91 · 07/05/2021 19:13

@Sausage1990 I am so so sorry, sending you all the love ❤️ I'm pleased they sorted a phone call for Monday for you to address things. Take it easy this weekend

@notyetamumbuttrying @larrythelizard @Vil10 @Minster2012 thanks ladies, the likely very fertile, uncompassionate bitch of a GP. It's a pain in the arse getting a different GP everytime and with telephone appointments they're luck of the draw. Had a rant and cry to DH (I'm not usually so soft 🙈) we're going to have a chat about possibly opting for some private investigations this weekend 🤔

@DKDK123 that's so shit so what you've been left in the lurch with kinda no next step?

Minster2012 · 07/05/2021 19:51

Do need to get ass in gear @Franklydear will do that, pleased other ppl saw boss boy being a knob!

We will have another corner of shame then for @Franklydear @Tornado2Inc @Lexber @notyetamumbuttrying with @Amy00 as the ringleader 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️you'll have to keep track of each other I'm struggling with getting my head in gear atm

@Jam291 hello and welcome! We all don't know what we want here either but what we have is fantastic support as lots of us have been through similar so welcome, though do you have an embarrassing story for us for your ticket? Doesn't have to be TTC related. Pinching aches are a potentially good thing right! Could be implantation

@DOB78 no shame in that, you are just trying to be efficient with your TTC that's the way I see it! Let's hope that peak comes quickly (along with other stuff!)

@bez91 yep the bitch is def fertile & uncompassionate, I hate her too for you. Good luck with the convos 🤞🏻
