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

@Minster2012 oh no. Not what I expected to read! And the waiting to know for sure too? Cruel. I'm so sorry. I really do hope there is a glimmer of some miracle being able to happen for you. However- the fact it happened at all is a miracle in itself so the positive you can take from it - is that its now possible for it to happen naturally. And that's worth hanging onto. You will have your time. Fingers crossed for the week ahead xxx

Thank you ladies and it might be best for @larrythelizard to take the helm for a bus, I can sit up top and throw my head into the wind, ears flapping gulping the air.

In a cruel twist of "I'll let you keep your hopes up until the scan then twist the knife" I'm now spotting/wiping red blood
so yeah I can send the details to you darling via Insta message?

@Minster2012 oh no 💔 sorry the spotting has started, how cruel the world can be, sending you all the love 💕

Joining @Minster2012 on the top, with wine, cider, crocs, biscuits, cake... did I forget anything? Oh, happy music, and a strong handhold.... for me too

@minster2012 oh darling I'm so sorry. There's nothing I can say to make you feel better so just Sending so much love. 💕 Know you're not alone in this 💔

Crocs? Well, ok whatever rocks your boat autocorrect, prefer chocs myself but...

@Minster2012 sending you lots of loves and cuddles to you both at this current time I'm so sorry to hear what your going through right now🥺❤️xxx

Oh sweetheart @Minster2012 what a fucking bastard life is. Yeah drop it over on a message and I'll drive until you're ready to go again.

@larrythelizzard can I get some seat belts fitted up on the top deck... Between a new bus driver and copious amounts of alcohol I'm stashing I think we might need them .... Maybe a sick bucket too 😜

@minster2012 I really wanna drive over and bring you this glass rn! (With a bottle or two) X I'm so sorry this is happening xx

I am so so sorry @Minster2012, how cruel & unfair this is. Please mind yourself and I know your dh will take care of you too. Sending you love and hugs xxx

Steady on @Dollybird89 we're not on a new bus yet!

@larrythelizard I'm just getting prepped ... Overtired and still woozy from vaccine.. I'm doing my own head in lol

I got my vaccine tomorrow, then birthday picnic, yes still, on Sunday and then af, or not, about the 19th, busy busy, no time to think about it...

Not thinking is the way forward @Franklydear. I am busy finding other things to think about instead of TTC. It's vaguely working...!

@Minster2012 fuck. I'm so sorry L that's absolutely devastating and shit. You sure you weren't a dictator in a previous life as surely thats the only explanation for a cancer survivor to be shat on like this?! Big hugs and so much love sent your way ❤️

@Minster2012 so sorry darling, I truly am. Please take care ♥️♥️

@Minster2012 I'm so sorry 😔💔 there is nothing anyone can say. Just know we are sending you all the virtual support and yes unfortunately you are not alone. You will get through this. X

@Minster2012 I’m so sorry to hear that. You deserve the world and it’s horrible you have to go through this. We are all here with you.

@Sausage1990 so sorry for your bad news :(

Sorry I’ve been MIA again. Pain has been awful and I’ve just been getting by bit by bit and focussing on getting work done (luckily it’s quiet ish this week! ) has meant no capacity for anything else. I am very glad my surgery is soon as I need the relief!

On that note, my surgery is going to be a week on Friday (21st). I know I am really lucky to be having it privately and not have to wait. Hopefully it helps the pain and allows us to conceive. Will have to wait and see I guess! Did get relief after the last surgery at least and I trust this dr. Not great timing, but my parents had arranged to come and stay (once rules have changed) on that weekend but at least they have said they won’t come till Sat. They just want to look after me tbf so I can’t complain! Also haven’t seen them since September. Looking forward to lots of healing cat cuddles 😍

Kittens are so precious, love cuddles and are just the cutest. Had them both asleep on me twice earlier which was amazing until I needed to get up
I have so many photos of them- one with Iris perched on DH’s shoulder watching tv 😂 but so many are far too unflattering of me to want to post haha! There may be more on Instagram soon haha.
I’ve been trying to vaguely catch up even while I couldn’t post

Well we did 10km on our bikes last night as a family and it took longer than it should have as was making sure DS didn't crash into me and make me fall off my bike, felt good to get out and do some exercising especially altogether while it wasn't raining. However my legs are slightly sore this morning 😖

You lot make sure I can see some BFPs for @larrythelizard when I'm MIA,
@Juno231 I always joke that in a former life I must have killed guinea pigs or something to be constantly shat on when things are going well 🤣🙄maybe I was a dictator?!

Forgot to take contacts out last night as fell asleep so sore eyes!

Going to tell MIL today, I genuinely thought I was going to be telling her good news...& DH just gone stalking (deer) with his dad, back Saturday evening. DS rewarding us with daily early waking again now, thanks X! Soooo 😴

Spotting stopped again. Fuckboy

Over and out

Be good, and if you can't then be sexy ❤️😘

@Minster2012 hope to see you back here again soon. Massive hugs to you 🤗❤

Today's music: Motown

I think this sums us up well

Sorry for the spamming
@Minster2012 Stevie wonder says I just called to say I love you, haven't listened to it in a long time

Glad you have surgery booked @Billythecat and love the kitten pics as always! I would quite like a pet but DH not on board!

Nice on the bike ride @lucyrp I am notoriously rubbish at riding a bike and working out the gears, thankfully it's not that hilly where I live!

Good tunes @Franklydear, I've had a tough 2 hour call at work this morning and now trying to understand the call...brain is scrambled!

@Minster2012 has sent over instructions for the next bus so I'll temporarily take the wheel until she's ready to be back in charge of us all!
