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

Thank you for the fresh wheels @Minster2012

@Crazydoglady123 that sounds a little scary, I want to be knocked out good and proper for mine! 😅 Is dhs sperm not up to scratch then or is standard at your clinic? Mine have said they'll use it if they need to.
Getting the usb will be amazing!!
@Kirky658 beautiful cake, so glad you had a lovely day!
@Minster2012 I know, it's all go this month isn't it! How you feeling?

@Haiyaa I love that so much!! Saving that to show Dh the day before EC in case he's nervous 😝

@Minster2012 it's this weekend. Have the scan on Sunday morning first thing.
Have asked that they don't tell us and put the colour confetti in cannon and will pop it with kids and family when we are home. Xx

Hope your resting up and hubby is running after you xx

@Minster2012 I was quite disappointed with the LoD final. Was such a good series too. Recaps are always needed haha

Hey all, jumping aboard after a very quiet last one, it passed me by in a blink.
How is everyone?!

🤞🏼🤞🏼 for more May BFPs.

Well FINALLY I'm officially in my first cycle of TTC and wow it's scary already lol.. so I got my static smiley Saturday and hours later I jumped OH, I've been horny all weekend 🤣 but we've been busy with life so only DtD Wednesday eve (he fell asleep Friday and Sunday before I had a chance to jump him), sat and today... so hoping that was enough as assuming I ovulated Saturday/Sunday possibly today if late?!
I was ridiculously carb craving yesterday so thinking then..
Going with static I'm now 2dpo I think so on my first ever 2WW... thankfully I have crazy work business and OH birthday this week to keep me busy!

I am going to try and keep up to date this thread, and be more active... xxx

@Minster2012 omg right it's so bloody hard knowing what's going on in LOD and they somehow expect you to remember the names of every minor character since season one??

@DJmum83 amazing news! So pleased for you 😁

@MartyMcShy yes thank you - luckily the shoulder pain only lasted a day.

@larrythelizard so your opks were negative? Are you including that on the chart? Show us your chart but instinctively I'd say it's probably detected a minor temp shift and pre emptively thinks it's ovulation day but it will adjust later on when real OD shows up.

Hia ladies 👋🏻 just taking a seat - how are we on bus 40?! Amazing!!!

I know I've been quiet recently but I have been reading and keeping up with you all. I've got my scan on Friday to check if all is still OK. I'll be somewhere between 9+4 and 10+1 on Friday and epu arranged this scan for me as we didn't get past 9+1 last time and I can't wait for my 12 week dating scan again. I'll probably still be quiet this week as my head is a bit all over the place but I'll let you know how it goes on Friday 🤞🏻 please keep your fingers crossed for me 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Sending so much love to you all 💕

Omg, I got busy for a few hours and you wrote two pages
@clolo omg, what a horrible nightmare
@kaylsd like your mum, she might in us, #tryingtobeagrandma, your mil can stay with some of our mums and mils over there
@Kirky658 loving the cake, it’s so sweet
@Minster2012 according to the stupid bloody app that guessing crappy shit, yes, that’ll be the day
@DJmum83 good, so good, and now relax for a little
Ok, page 3 now

@Juno231 I haven’t seen you episodes of lod, but with all the remember every single little thing it just seems more trouble than it’s worth
@Lexber cycle 20 here, yep not a typo, hopefully you won’t be that long, active here depends on the mood, but always reading,
@Sausage1990 please let us know, so good that you got your scan so early

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4235321-DH-golf-weekend-at-the-same-time-as-my-Covid-vaccine Everyone has lot the plot, in a world that you can be anything, be kind, I rarely post in mumsnet outside this very safe bus, ok, I aaaam going to sleep now, iPad off

Howdy doody all✨

I am here! Not caught up yet though 🌸

Ladies, help.

This is a line, right?

@Madeoftea

Ladies, help.

This is a line, right?

Looks like it to me... 🎉 xx

@Madeoftea time to get a frer out

@Madeoftea a bloody good one for an IC! Congratulations! 🥳

I'm on, slightly out of breath from running for it but won't take a seat until I've found the ones with the snacks or this tuck shop I hear of!

Will catch up later but love to you all 😘

@Madeoftea

Ladies, help.

This is a line, right?

@madeoftea Congratulations! get one of the big guns out to see how much your BFP will shine 🤓

@Minster2012 we watched LOD live and found it somewhat underwhelming! I don't think it helps that I can never actually remember what happened...!

I was thinking of you yesterday @Sausage1990 and that your next scan must be coming up, pleased you're nearly there!

Oh my goodness @Madeoftea YES 🥳

@Juno231 ok yes that might make sense, I think I've previously seen bigger jumps as it hasn't been a massive one. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 you're right. Clear Blue OPK still flashing at me this morning so no peak yet according to that. Here's my chart...

Quick check in to say THATS A BLOODY LINE @Madeoftea get the FRER out!!! Yesssss

@Clairey844 it's @Tornado2Inc manning the tuck shop!

@larrythelizard yeah I don't think things like that in series whatever are gonna live upto expectations! Watched the first then conked out last night sorry!!

@madeoftea that's deffo a line!!!! Woohooo for the start of many bfps for May 😍

Thank you all! I'm still shaking and OH got woken up with a stick in his face.

I'm only 10dpo today but I just had a feeling I needed to test which is exactly what happened last time, but now I'm panicking that I haven't even missed my period yet and don't want to get my hopes up. All the emotions! 😭

@Minster2012 I bet with your SIL you wanted to get a wet fish and slap her round chops with that attitude as you know what some people's battles have been like on here :') I've calmed down today slightly with the MIL but only a touch ;)

@Franklydear I’ll let her join the club, she will bring wine and cheese but only thing with my mum she’s got no filter so if she doesn’t like people she isn’t a afraid to say either, I guess this can be a good thing to have as at least you know where you stand with her 💁🏼‍♀️😂

I’m on cycle day 72, 3 days post northisterone no sign of the AF at alllllllll, why isit when you want the witch to arrive she’s like naaa I’ll only come on my terms 😂 just waiting to bleed so then I can have my day 1-3 bloods done 🥺

Ladies which is the best tracking app to use? I’ve been using Femometer but it’s annoyed me lately as it keep saying I’m pregnant please press I’m pregnant to change your app then on flip side demanding me to input a period in when I feel like saying I’ve not bled now shut up pestering my notifications for this stuff 🙈🙈🙈

Morning everyone!

@Madeoftea congratulations lovely!

@Haiyaa that meme is sooo true 😂

Sooo had our day 1 update from the clinic and of 12 eggs collected 11 were mature and of that 9 have fertilised 🎉 Now to keep myself busy till the Day 3 update Thursday

@Lexber I gave up on trying to catch up here, it's a full time job! So I just pop in every now and then with something random 😂

@Sausage1990 Chances are everything will be fine, but if course we'll be crossing our fingers. Well be waiting for updates!

@Madeoftea that's most definitely a line, and quite a good one for IC!!! Eeeeeeeek!

@kaylsd first cycle using Femometer for me, but I agree with you, it's slightly annoying. It's been telling me ovulation is imminent since CD6 (CD12 here atm). I am using Clue in parallel, which is quite simple and fairly accurate. No BBT charting, though. I used to use CB fertility monitor, which was spot on, but it died a horrible, horrible death. Considering getting something similar next month as I'm obviously here to stay 😂

@Crazydoglady123 sheesh, that's quite a yield! Nice one!
