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

@notyetamumbuttrying I'm ridiculous!! I say that's it I quit then the 3 Hs come along (Horny, Hungry and Hot) and the ewcm and I'm like woohoo let's have a baby!!!
@Minster2012 I just can't help myself I think I'm too stubborn to quit

So I've had a rather exciting day. Been at MAU for 7 hours as they thought I might be leaking amniotic fluid after a run this morning. After much ado they concluded I might have a minor infection but bub is fine thank god.

@vil10 how much of a joke is that green list, seriously

@bez91 sorry your dr was so heartless. So unhelpful when they just don't get it!

@DKDK123 that's just shocking what the fertility clinic have done. I'd definitely complain. Bad enough how they treated you in the first place but then to completely mess with your head like that is unforgivable!

Aw @Kirky658 hope you are ok? Is that it for the running then or can you keep it up? Do you wear a support belt? Mind your pelvic floor.

Oh @Sausage1990 I have no words. I know there is literally nothing we can say to take the pain away but hope you can find a tiny bit of comfort here and that any investigations provide a solution. Take care of yourself lovely.xx

@DOB78 ooooo the 3 H's! No wonder you can't stop 🤣

@Kirky658 I can continue with these "why running is bad" memes!

@katao yeah they think it was just sweat and discharge after the run... Nice. But I think I'm gonna hang up the shoes now, scared me and not worth the risk.
@minster2012 hahaha keep 'em coming! I now just have to find something else to keep me going and fit 😒

I am so sorry @Sausage1990. It is so unfair that you are going through this again. I hope the testing picks something up that can be treated. Be kind to yourself love, bath and sleep sound good. I hope you will be ok and DH looks after you xx

I’m trying to think up of my best embarrassing story, currently an IOU but I will provide! 😂 love the fact this is a lighthearted group aswell as supporting and helpful. It’s a lovely welcome distraction as well as being able to talk about TTC and not drive myself mad symptom spotting 🙃. I’m just reading through a few previous messages now.

Just have to say @Sausage1990 my thoughts are with you, 💖I had a MC in feb, and a MMC back in 2017. I pray you get some answers from any tests they provide. Have you spoke to CRADLE charity?
Please take the weekend and do everything for you, take a long hot bath, eat a whole box of chocolates, get takeaway every night .. you get the gist lol xxx

@Minster2012 hahaha! Awesome memes 🤣

@Kirky658 what I don't understands how you find the energy to even contemplate going for a run! When I was preggers with my DD, I went from being an active runner to thinking on my way home that there is no way on earth that I'm using the stairs (we lived on the 1st floor 🙈). And I'm talking at around 8-9 weeks, not 7 months... kudos to you!

@Tornado2Inc ahh so glad you got your DD!! I see your point about the cp's, hopefully it's just a matter of time then. 🤞🏾

@bez91 good idea going private but it's a shame you've been forced into it. We're entitled to good care when we pay our taxes!

@Minster2012 we will! 🤪
Oh excellent running memes 😂

@DOB78 haha I get the 3 H's too!!

@Kirky658 ahh sorry you get an infection but glad bubs is fine ♥️ will they give you antibiotics?

@tornado2inc it really helped with my anxiety so I wanted to keep at it, albeit much slower than before. But I'm proud as punch to have got to 21 weeks and kept at it!
@notyetamumbuttrying not sure if I have yet, they think it's a possibility due to the abundance of discharge so got to wait for the results about 3-5 days xx

@Jam291 long as it's not a long term IOU I hate those! We are def lighthearted, you gotta be, some of us been around this thread since the 🦖🦕, our graduates have already given birth to many a baby by now & plenty of lovely ladies on here still banging away 🤣as well as others being eligible for ivf this bus route is so long 😂we often find ourselves talking about other stuff, if you have a lovely front door (on your house not your fanny) we were comparing front doors & porches months ago 🤣😂I got total door envy 😬

I used to run. Back in the day when I met DH I could run 10k in 52mins, then I met him, started eating more (I blame this on him being a giant whinged at my tiny portions) got lazy and then did my ACL in twice. Now I think my lungs would actually explode! @Kirky658 maybe have a word with @blodyn91 about keeping fit during pregnancy?

I'm really missing my dance workouts now I'm on sofa duty, but the funny thing was @Dollybird89 DH actually did one last night on his own, it was so funny he's got hit by the dance HIIT bug as well and that's down to you & us 😘

@Kirky658 well done. Re discharge, I had GALLONS during the pregnancy. It was very watery most of the time, especially towards the end, I had to wear lines every day, else it would end up on my furniture (how's that for embarrassing story?) It's most likely that and your cargo is all good.

@Kirky658 aw that's a pity but you did well to get to 21 weeks. As i say id worry about the pelvic floor and bump gets bigger. How about pregnancy pilates? Great for strenght and prep for birth.

@Jam291 welcome 👋 sorry to hear abyour loss. Lovely to see you jump straight in with support 😘

I was thinking of blodyn91 recently hope she is well.

@Kirky658 ah ok, I see. Hope the results come back clear! Xx

@Tornado2Inc on your furniture??? Were you not wearing pants or trousers/leggings, SOMETHING??? Got this weird image of you slipping on discharge on a wooden chair! 🤣😂

@dkd123 I've been neglecting the hiit workouts too as I've been focused on my 100squats a day but emkfit brought out a fun 80s one last week which I will be doing once my legs can manage these squats in addition to a workout lol

@minster2012 that's ace Ur DH has got the hiit bug! The squats are a killer ... Walking up the stairs hurts.. not DTD since I started so that's gonna be a fun one lol 🤣 just hoping I get a killer butt out of this haha

@Crazydoglady123 today is transfer day!! 🙌🏻🥳yayyyyy good luck soon you will be PUPO!

@Dollybird89 that's great you are sticking with it, go girl!! I bet your legs are killing 🤣

@tornado2inc 🤣🤣
@crazydoglady123 happy transfer day, so excited for you 🎊😄

So we decided to let the dog sleep on our bed last night because he'd been on his own most of the day with us being out. He was a pain in the ass 😂 kept jumping off the bed to sleep on the floor and then back again. He's just woke up for a wee so I out him in his own bed!

@Crazydoglady12e exciting day today!!! Hope all goes well with the eggies.
@Kirky658 did they tell you to stop running? Glad to hear everything is alright with your little bean.
I started running about 3 years ago to do 10k tough mudder type thing but given up the last 6 mths just can't get motivated enough. Started some Les Mills home workouts last week so far so good, need to shift some of this lockdown lard!
Still no peak but test lines are nearly as dark as the control line so think we're getting there.

Sounds like a scary day @Kirky658! I'm in awe you're still running and also get why. How do you feel about swimming? Really low impact and might give you the same buzz?

Hahaha @Minster2012 @Tornado2Inc doing the slip and slide at the dining room table!!!

How are the squats going @Dollybird89? Probably more to the point how are your legs?

Happy transfer day @Crazydoglady123 🥳🥳🥳 have spent ages looking for the an appropriate sticky emoji but nothing so I'll send you a heart with a bandage instead!❤️‍🩹

Day 20 today and so far no sign of peak of CB OPK (pot of wee upstairs waiting but just me and the toddler this morning) and weird temps so am assuming that either I ovulated weirdly early and missed it or I haven't ovulated this month.

Humph. I think I'm going to reign it back in next cycle and no temping, try and make it one of the things in my head (like need to do the washing, buy more quavers, must go for a run, must TTC etc) going forward.

I'm booked into the gym this morning and dreading it - we're still outside as it's technically a class and it's a literal monsoon out there

@Crazydoglady123 happy transfer day! 💛

@Kirky658 @larrythelizard yes i was going to suggest swimming!

@Crazydoglady123 happy transfer day, so excited for you. Good luck 💕

@DOB78 lockdown lard 😆 me too, I did so well in the first lockdown and when I put my work trousers on after not wearing them for 3 months they hung off me. All went wrong when I got pregnant twice, had the MCs and have found it tough to get back to it 😆 come on for your peak!!!

@larrythelizard it is monsoon like, I've just done my first run for ages and everything is stuck to me 🤦🏼‍♀️ hope there's a break in the rain for you but it does wake you up! Hope your peak turns up soon too!

@Crazydoglady123 happy transfer day! Love that we made it a thing, so pupo now, your way will keep me distracted from mine
@bez91 running? And in the rain? Gonna have to pass on that one, I will try to get back swimming, not easy to organise now but....
