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 yeah perhaps although one of the girls's sister has been through it so she'll know the truth of it. I think the best I can get away with is saying I'll know by "next month" and that'll give me a couple weeks grace from having to answer "did it work, did it work" questions.
Yeah really hope we get to go but if not they'll always be other occasions.
I'm glad you and mr minster had a good chat, I bet you feel loads better today! Good idea with one day a time, it's all you can do isn't it 💕
@paintfairy thanks matey! How are you today? X

notyetamumbuttrying · 08/05/2021 13:45

@Crazydoglady123 awesome news!! So happy for you 😘
@2alreadywantanother wow what a cocktail!!

Kirky658 · 08/05/2021 13:46

@crazydoglady123 that's made my day 😍
@minster2012 yeah it's a tricky one. However it looks like most of our customers want to just amend rather than cancel their bookings so far but we've decided to offer refunds as clients technically can't travel...minefield!

Minster2012 · 08/05/2021 13:55

@Crazydoglady123 yessssss that's amazing congrats on your lovely embryos and being PUPO! Now get your feet up for the rest of the day 😘🙌🏻🥰

@2alreadywantanother that's not a drink I'm familiar with but now desperately wanting one 🤣😂what flavour is a frog drink?? 🐸

@notyetamumbuttrying yeah that's a good idea, just see how you feel

@Kirky658 mire amending work for you then! But it's good you are able to offer refunds, and yeah I shall take some paracetamol

@Kirky658 time to slow down and no more frightening yourself.
@DKDK123 the things our body and minds do to us to carry on the human race, its unfair.
@bez91 oh all I've done is eat and coz I've decided no point losing weight I'll be pregnant soon anyway it won't matter.
@Minster2012 I loved Les Mills classes in the gym especially pump and combat. I've no equipment at home so doing combat and sh'bam I'm enjoying it so far. Gives me another thing to occupy my mind that isn't ttc related😀

2alreadywantanother · 08/05/2021 14:02

@minster2012 it's hard to describe but loved them. Have the bottle divided into freezer bags and in the freezer. Gona let it melt a but, squish it and add vodka lol yum

2020mission · 08/05/2021 14:34

@Crazydoglady123 great news 2 are in there 🤞let's hope at least one can hold on!

Katao · 08/05/2021 14:41

@Crazydoglady123 yay! Glad all went well and you have great little embryos 😀 very exciting having 2 on board. Best of luck x
(What's pupo?)

InkyPaper · 08/05/2021 15:00

Wooooooooooooooop! Congrats @Crazydoglady123!🎉🎉

@Katao PUPO stands for pregnant until proven otherwise, I think 😊

Minster2012 · 08/05/2021 15:04

@2alreadywantanother that does sound lush! Def have for me too please 🍸

@Katao yep @InkyPaper is right with PUPO as you are told to act pregnant (follow the guidelines etc)

DS & I just made popcorn, got the fire on and watching minions 😋

Crazydoglady123 · 08/05/2021 15:24

Thank you! Yep PUPO = pregnant until proven otherwise! I've just added my timelapse of my embryos to my story if anyone wants to see it

Katao · 08/05/2021 15:40

Thanks girls. Aw I love pupo, sounds very 'glass half full' attitude wise😀

DOB78 · 08/05/2021 15:45

@Crazydoglady123 oh my goodness thats awesome. I'm sorry I don't really understand the process you've been through but it sound amazing!! Science is so cool sometimes. I love that they've given you pictures that brilliant

paintfairy · 08/05/2021 16:43

@notyetamumbuttrying I think that's all you can do. Its difficult and I wouldn't want people knowing that early either, in case it didn't work. I didn't tell anyone about the IUI. I'm OK. Having a 'I'm not going to bother any more' day, but otherwise OK.
@Crazydoglady123 that's brilliant news! Manifesting twins as we speak. 😁

Madeoftea · 08/05/2021 16:59

@Crazydoglady123 that's great news!

How's everyone doing? I'm struggling to keep up, I've been wiped out. Never felt so tired in my life, I even had an afternoon sofa nap today because I just couldn't stay awake. Had a slight panic over a tiny bit of spotting and cramps but I know it can be normal so I'm trying to stay positive.

Katao · 08/05/2021 17:23

@Madeofteaade it's tough isn't it because before a bfp we are all hoping any spotting is implantation bleeding but after a bfp any bleeding is frightening. Hope you sre doing ok.

DOB78 · 08/05/2021 17:26

I know I said test line on opk was getting darker but is it possible I've missed my peak? Ewcm has dried up and I've just noticed rhr dropped 4 days ago. God ttc is confusing me 😕 doesn't help I have no idea if I'm even using these things properly 😅

Justanothercyster · 08/05/2021 17:39

Eeeek @Crazydoglady123 glad all went well! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼✨✨

Minster2012 · 08/05/2021 19:17

@Katao you got it in one for @Madeoftea it's weird we hope for spotting for BFP then get so scared afterwards. Bloody rollercoaster, but @Madeoftea I think you need to do whatever your body wants so if you want to nap go for it! I wanted a nap earlier but just me & DS & he stopped napping a year ago 😩

@DOB78 if ewcm has dried up then that's a good indicator I think so unsure what that makes you, after OV perhaps?

@paintfairy oooo we can all manifest twins for @Crazydoglady123 & one for the freezer already that's awesome

Helloooo, had a fab day, I got my pampered morning, photos tagged on Instagram, I just need to figure out how to save them, 10 inches plus on their way to the princess trust, then a quick bite in McDonald’s and 3 hours running around castle’s crumbling walls and finally cake at home, rinse and repeat tomorrow
@Crazydoglady123 twiiins!

Crazydoglady123 · 08/05/2021 19:58

@paintfairy @Minster2012 love a bit of manifestation 🤣

Who was it who had the high prolactin levels the other day? I've just seen this on Instagram. Apparently sex the night before the blood test can cause it to be raised

@Franklydear that is NOT how I imagining you to look! But your hair looks amazing now, did it stand the wind/rain? Hope you had a good day at the castle

@Crazydoglady123 oooo it was @InkyPaper I think?

Franklydear · 08/05/2021 20:14

@Minster2012 we are very south, we didn’t have any rain and very little wind, even a little sun at the end, despite the early morning monsoon, it will become very curly when I wash it, my friend is a genius

Minster2012 · 08/05/2021 20:34

Oooo that's good @Franklydear for missing the weather in the afternoon, it obviously didn't want to dampen your celebrations. Nice pjs on all that fab hair for the princess trust 🥰
