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

(throws bag of crisps toward *@kaylsd* )

@Tornado2Inc, you must be the naughty kid on the bus selling snacks to the masses.... btw can I grab a Snickers???

@Haiyaa Let me just unfasten this dodgy looking trench-coat 😂

@Haiyaa ahhh thankyou! I've had the Oxford one already so might wait til once baby is born and have the second dose. I have a complex medical history too so with all this blood clot stuff not sure I wanna risk it now :( thanks for your advice x

@Haiyaa Hahaha il throw you a snickers! Seeing as I have a multipack and just ate one myself 🤣

@MartyMcShy I know right! I wish I was like one of those horror stories girls used to say in the playground if you sat on a toilet seat same as a boy you could get pregnant.. I'll try anything these days 😂😂🤣🤣 there's no filter of feelings towards some people you never know what battles some people are going through in life.. I hate people who's got the attitude of if it's nothing to do with them they aren't bothered!

I feel sorry for my hub as there's always been a massive divide between him and his siblings so the poor attitude towards our TTC infertility with PCOS was never considered a surprise we got told on the run up to our wedding not to talk to them about it as they only want to talk about it when it's here.. 🙃 people like them I always keep at arms length as and when I can! Smile when I need to and leave 😚

@Haiyaa

Jumping on, somewhere in the midst of the 2ww but bbt and OPK’s got me like 🤔 👀

Love the cake @Kirky658! Hope you had a good time albeit a very rainy day!

Woohoo for ec buddies @clolo and @notyetamumbuttrying, hoping for some bumper harvests like @crazydoglady123!

@Hopeful110 guidance is that vaccine is safe for all stages of pregnancy but do speak to your GP. Logically I would expect you to have Pfizer or Moderna as pregnant ladies are at a higher risk of clotting so you might not be able to get a vaccine right away anyway. In the USA they have been routinely vaccinating pregnant women from the outset so some good data to base any decisions on. I’m fully vaccinated now bar any potential “booster” but if I were pregnant I would have it but probably wait until 2nd trimester but only for my own neurotic peace of mind rather than any real evidence.

@kaylsd sorry MIL is being an insensitive bitch (even if she doesn’t know it!).

@Tornado2Inc careful you don’t wear it out 😂🍆

@Haiyaa I think she knows it, she's just a twat end majority of the time, we've had the sit down chat with them about our fertility or more like infertility and they still respond with no sensitivity towards us.. my mum refers to her as the witch from oz 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for my seat!

Been resting (and sleeping) most of the day! Feeling so hungry today 🙈 can I blame the HCG shot? Or the sedation? Or am I just a greedy pig!?

That cake looks AMAZING @Kirky658 💗

@notyetamumbuttrying when I woke up I could feel them doing stuff inside and it being uncomfortable but not painful. Tbh I actually feel more comfortable now than I have been on the lead up to EC. Yes deffo ICSI for us.

@paintfairy it's sedation so you come round really quick. @Minster2012 I'm not sure what they meant by loosing two 😐

Thank you @MartyMcShy @sunbird24 @Juno231 @Justanothercyster

@Haiyaa OH kept joking before what if they mix our eggs/sperm with the wrong couples 🙈 Our embryos are in a timelapse embryoscope so we should get a usb with the images on!

OMG @Crazydoglady123, that is soooooo cool! At least you get a little extra reward for all the shit you have had to go through!

Oh I put a long post on the last bus. Oh well.

Glad no more bleeding @Minster2012!

Going to repeat this bit because I'm kicking myself and need your expertise...

Does anyone use FF and OPKs?? FF thinks I've already ovulated but no positive or peak OPK...am I already out this month with no sex?!?! FUCK!

@2020mission how frustrating is it!! I usually only spot for 2 days! Got the pains now though so expecting full flow soon!

@Kirky658 love the cake!! Hope you've had a lovely weekend x

@larrythelizard that's weird on the secondary infertility 🤔 I use FF and OPKs, usually CB though but have used them alongside ICs (got different results on both) you've got it set to automatic to pinpoint ov on OPKs and BBT (if you use) right? Not accidentally added ov date yourself?

@Madeoftea heyyyyyy how you doing?

@Vil10 really wouldn't have thought drinking would make that much difference that's bizarre!

@clolo & @notyetamumbuttrying yessss more exciting stimulations & EC & bloody hell @clolo that dream can do one!!

@Hopeful110 I can only say what my consultants said to me in that it's likely pregnant ladies get put on the list soon & I would have had it no matter what stage for the second jab & I would have thought before a placenta is better? Sorry to hear you are feeling rough but quite reassuring!

@paintfairy get a snack off @Tornado2Inc I'm glad someone brought snacks, you've been ovulating since day 6? Wtf!

@bez91 legs wide open and ready for business already?? Real relaxed!

So is 19th AF day @Franklydear?

@kaylsd love that and course there is a monthly bus pass, your post made me giggle so much, I always have a sign saying moody bitch no matter when it is 🤣my SIL is one of those sit on the toilet. She's gonna have 3 under 3 as pregnant with 3rd now, literally sex once each time, when she found out I was pregnant & I said I wasn't sure on dates she was like "when did you DTD?" Errrrr which of the 9 times do you mean? She was like 😳

@MartyMcShy what of normal eh? And since when have any of us been normal 😂🙄let's hope Aunt Flo hasn't boarded the bus for a lot of ppl, you included!

@Crazydoglady123 we used to joke about them getting things mixed up, then DS turned out to be stubborn like me so no mix up

We've already got a black market tuck shop going this bus, amazing! Count me in

Yeah it's only my first proper FF cycle really so all set to automatic, assume it's done is based on BBT

Dammit that last post was for @bez91 (I wish you could edit!)

@larrythelizard I find it a bit complicated to be honest 🤦🏼‍♀️. I think you can change it to your own preference though in settings then "detector/override settings"

My mind is literally blown @bez91! I guess time will tell in terms of when AF turns up! Won't throw in the towel just yet!

Marking my place.
I have been shocking at keeping up with last bus.
Finally got my nipt results back and all low so thankful.
Will try keep up better now my head is in a better place xx

Great news @DJmum83, that must be a real weight off your mind! What test did you get? We don’t have a huge amount of choice in our area but will probably go with Harmony or Panorama.

@djmum83 oh thank god hun that must be a huge huge relief. So happy for you xxx

So pleased to hear that @DJmum83 x

Put this on the old thread but too good not to share again in case you missed it... if you know, you know 😉

@DJmum83 yessssssssssssssssss that's amazing, and how did your party/reveal go as well was it? Or did I dream that for you???

OMG we are starting to watch LOD and there's no recap??? Wtaf?? I'm lost already after 15mins, DH & I thought we'd missed an episode 😭

@Haiyaa yep that was us

Hello!
Thanks for the new bus @Minster2012

@DJmum83 brilliant news xxxx
