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

Just seen this on the BBC about the vaccine, interesting as I know some of you had delayed ovulation etc after it x
www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-56901353

@larrythelizard yes, I can't remember if they were my day 3 or day 21 as I had them done so many times I lost count.

@Kirky658 interesting. One of my colleagues has had non stop periods since having her vaccine 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hmm ok thanks @lucyrp you've just strengthened my resolve to go to the GP!

@Kirky658 I've just booked in for mine for Sunday and will have been doing 10 days of down regs by then

Right, have sent an online request for a dr's appt!

@larrythelizard definitely keep on at them and I'd also ask for a phone call to explain the results of your blood results. I very neatly didn't get mine as the receptionist said they were "fine" but I asked for the doctor to call and explain them which is then when I got all my numbers etc. And they explain what they should be above or below

@larrythelizard @Juno231 these are my 21 day blood results from last month direct from patient portal which suggests

The wine is coming out now.. just had this back off a job I thought I was perfect for and aced all the online tests and interviews... 🤦😟😭

I got the munchies, so I am on my third chocolate spread tortilla wrap, make of that what you will

@Dollybird89 what! That’s not an explanation, fancy a chocolate tortilla?

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/property/4243854-I-ve-ruined-the-floor-and-feel-so-stupid Oh dear, our kinda girl

@Dollybird89 ah sorry, how disappointing but hopefully something better on the horizon!
@Franklydear ooh sounds yummy! I'm about to eat a banana 😂

Oh @Dollybird89 that's shit, particularly that you haven't got any meaningful feedback.

@notyetamumbuttrying I have banana bread in the oven, does that count?😂

Aww definitely pour a wine @Dollybird89. You never know the reason why you haven't progressed with those jobs it's a mystery sometimes. I've had friends who interviewed for a job and were then ghosted, seen a job being advertised before approved and no one ends up with it or someone internal being lined up for a job that's still advertised. It sucks! Keep positive.

@Franklydear yes it does! Love banana bread, I'm jealous!
And that thread was funny 😆 the poor cow! I'd do something like that too most likely!

@Dollybird89 that's utterly shite, I'd email back asking for more feedback personally. They probably hired someone internal though, shitty people.

@Franklydear I can't decide if that would be delicious or gross 😂 give me a Nutella pancake any day though! Or just a spoon and the jAr...

Nutella tortilla sounds delicious @Franklydear - I can't do dairy so biscoff spread is my preferred sweet thing in a jar...!

Thanks ladies... @franklydear ooo that sounds yummy count me in

@Minster2012 sending you hugs❤️

@Dollybird89 sorry you've had a shit day, crack open thst wine!!

So, my ex, who was the worst human I've ever come into contact with, I still have his sister on social media (she was actually okay) and she's just put something on about my ex and his girlfriend expecting, and it's really got to me, I'd never say this, but he is one person who doesn't deserve a child, not now not ever, and it really upsets me, I think I'm going to unfollow his sister so I don't see anymore, how is it fair for people like that to conceive yet decent people can't?? Fuck u fertility!

Oh @vil10 that sucks! I'd deffo unfollow if it were me... I've had to unfollow some of my friends (I'm still friends) but I can't stand seeing their posts about expecting all the time if I'm having a great day something like that can just ruin it for me .

I'm into the wine now so ignore any future posts 🤦🤣

@Vil10 deffo unfollow, it’s shit but at least you don’t need to see it
I am now not hungry, might have eaten too much chocolate....

Sorry to hear you're in so much pain at the moment @Billythecat. Glad the kittens are keeping you occupied (they're too cute) and that your surgery is booked soon.

@dollybird89 that's pants that your appointment is so long a wait especially as it's a rescheduled one so you've already waited for it 🤬 and doubly shit on the job front too. You probably did ace everything and were amazing in the interview so don't let it put you off applying for other jobs. Look at jobs being a bit like ttc, you can do everything 100% right and due to the number of applicants there's still only a % chance of getting it, it's not necessarily that you did anything wrong. But it also doesn't help to try some added extras, brazil nuts might not work for a job interview but see if there are any free online courses to boost your cv even more for the next one. Hope the wine helps tonight!

Hope you feel better tomorrow @franklydear, at least you won't have work to contend with on top of feeling shitty

Interesting read @Kirky658, my cycle was messed up the month 1 got my 1st jag but I didn't know if it was down to the jag or coi coincidence. It makes sense tho! The 2nd jag didn't have an impact. 🤷‍♀️

@Vil10 life is 100% unfair! 🤬 You deserve wine tonight too. Infact we all deserve wine tonight (except those on the 9month countdown, you can have some non alcoholic drinks with us).

Did anyone watch the show with Davina on C4 about the menopause? I mean being a woman just sucks full stop doesn't it! Once we've gone thru all the years of periods we then get the menopause to look forward to, what a raw deal indeed! I knew about mood swings and hot flushes but actually hearing the stories of how the menopause impacted some of the women's lives I was sitting there thinking how awful working and going thru it is going to be 😱

@franklydear banana bread is my fave!!!!
Home made spaghetti puttanesca is on the stove for us, DH had parents evening tonight so I wanted to get a nice dinner ready for him. I've not been the easiest pregnant lady to deal with lately so I've also got us some lovely puddingy treats and a pack of his fave Sweeties as well. Wife points? Xx

Well the bitch has arrived, in the middle of a vaccine clinic 🤬 luckily I was prepared. I think that I ovulated on the same day as the positive opk giving me a 14 day luteal phase but if not it was still 12/13 so not to be sniffed at, and we didn’t do much 🍆 on the lead up so will have to put some more effort in this month. Don’t want to be caught by surprise again!

Also had some good progesterone symptoms and it’s a meaty one so hopefully fluffy 70’s bush linings are being made.

Feeling surprisingly ok, I guess I just wasn’t ready yet, but back to business this cycle!

@larrythelizard that sounds pretty low 🤔 and are you sure you didn’t just ovulate stupidly early?
