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

@Catherinettc I saw your photos on Instagram earlier. He's gorgeous! Congratulations. 🥳
@larrythelizard progesterone definitely sounds low to me. Either it was on the wrong day or i would query you even ovulated. Mine was 45 and 48 the 2 I had done.

@larrythelizard glad they're getting you 2-5 day bloods done too. If the progesterone on this cycles day 21 was low implying anovulatory cycle, when you book your 2-5 day bloods I'd push for them to book you for your 21 day bloods again next cycle. It may have just been a one off but at least if it's done again you've got everything to discuss with GP 😊

@Catherinettc congratulations he's gorgeous. Hope you're both doing well

Loving fertility fuckery 😂

Thankyou for all your lovely messages ladies it really means a lot ❤ especially as I knownhow hard it must be for u guys even though I'm an OG (crazy stalker u can't get rid of 🤦‍♀️🤣) I understand xx

Baby Caolan doing great. Very very fast birth. Its on my notes that 2nd stage of labour was 5 minutes 😯 midwife was sheet white by the end 🤣🤣 not to mention hubby 🤦‍♀️ but all good and I'm actually feeling really well. Hope everyone is good. Haven't had time to catch up properly but will asap xxx

Oh @Catherinettc congratulations!!! So lovely to catch up and see such good news. Glad everything went well for you and that you are feeling well. You are a trooper bless you! Welcome to the world baby Caolan x what a handsome little man x

@Catherinettc best news I’ve ever received in the middle of the night! I love hearing non drama labour stories

@Franklydear I meant to ask why u were up at that time lol although looking backnubhave always been on here at night lol xx

@Catherinettc I often have trouble sleeping , nice side effect of my meds, in this occasion I went to bed early feeling unwell with the vaccine , so I woke up at silly o’clock, i napped today instead😂

@Franklydear aw nothing worse 🤦‍♀️ I'm hoping that now I'm no longer pregnant the pregnancy insomnia pisses off lol. Also the spd going should help 🤞 haven't had a full night's sleep for months. Even with a newborn I should get more sleep now so for once I'm actually looking forward to going to bed 🤣🤣

Napping during the day can be lovely though must admit 😁 xx

Hope you slept better last night @Franklydear

How are you @Sausage1990?

I've been feeling sick on and off all week and I'm bloaty and crampy. I'm only 5DPO according to the apps so it's too early for it to be real pregnancy symptoms but argh it's such a headfuck!

@larrythelizard ahhhh don't do it to yourself, pesky progesterone. I had symptoms each cycles apart from the one I got my bfp 😂 ttc is such a headfuck! And yay for bloods!

@DKDK123 love the phrase fertility fuckery! Do you think MN will allow it in the next thread title @larrythelizard 🤣🤣🤣

@Catherinettc hope you managed to get some sleep!

@catherinettc Congratulations he's beautiful!!! Glad to hear your both fine and dandy. Havent caught up properly but I will try.
Hope everyone else is doing alright. I'm waiting for af to arrive so I can drink wine, eat chocolate and sulk

I've been um-ing and ah-ing as to when to post this as I don't want this to come across as insensitive but I've posted on other threads and didn't want anyone seeing it and thinking I'm being rude not posting on here. Obviously reaaally early days and my OTD isn't until Wednesday but me and the OH caved...we got our BFP 🥳❤️❤️

@Crazydoglady123 omggggg 🤞🏼🤞🏼😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 congratulations to you two! Xx

@Crazydoglady123 yes yes 🥳 I had a sneaky feeling as you'd been quiet 😉congratulations that's fantastic news! Really made up for you 😊😊😊

Hope everyone is having a good weekend, we're shortly enroute to the monster in laws 😩, it's a big birthday for her. Fists clenched ready for when she asks me when we're "giving her" another grandchild 💃🏼

@Crazydoglady123 congratulations!!!!! Xxx

Oh @Crazydoglady123 I'm so so pleased for you, congratulations!!!! I also had some suspicions! Is that 6DPo?! What a line!

@clolo I'm sorry you've had bad news, sounds like a good idea to delay.

@bez91 I'd be tempted to say you've decided on no more children and want an Irish wolfhound/st Bernard/other large dog breed in here and you're looking forward to sending her furry grand dog for holidays....

I know I know @Justanothercyster its just annoying and the nausea is really quite strong!

@Crazydoglady123 yay! 🥳🥳🥳 congratulations! Honestly it's the good news that keeps me going. There's always too much drudgery in this ttc malarkey. Need more good news! Great lines 😀 so when do we find out if it's twins? 😁

@catherinettc congrats hun. Glad you have it all over u. Enjoy your wee bundle of joy xx

@crazydoglady123 wow they are really strong lines, I didn't thing u could get a bfp that early. Congrats

Thanks guys!

@bez91 I'm starting to feel tired more now so catching up on the posts is hard 😂 Good luck with the monster in law 😬

@larrythelizard I'm 7 days post 5 day transfer so if it was natural I'd be about 12 dpo today.

@Katao thank you! I hope we get some more BFPs on here too soon! My clinic doesn't do BETA bloods as standard but I'm going to ask to pay for them which will possibly indicate if both did implant. If not it'll be the viability scan in 2-3 weeks time I'd find out ☺️

@clolo sorry to hear you had to postpone the IVF but if the bad news was going to stress you out it was a good call. Fingers crossed for a fresh stress free start next month 🤞

@crazydoglady123 woop woop 🥳🥳🥳🥳 congratulations so happy for you!

@bez91 hope you survive the day with the monster in law and her questions 🙄

ah I get u @catherinettc hence the reply about twins. Ah I'm delighted for u.

@minster2012 how u keeping hun. Thinking of u xx

So I'm in the 2ww. Off hand I dont know how many dpo as I'm not monitoring but if I look back I'll know, if that makes sense. In single digits for af's arrival anyway. So nothing to report. Unlike last month, when my nipples went mental for practically the whole 2ww, this month nothing. Not even a tickle lol mad how the months can be so different. And I'm definitely way more chilled, if I was anymore chilled I'd be asleep 🤣. Started wearing a fertility gem bracelet last month too. Anything to help I suppose. I've mad contact with the fertility clinic so if nothing happens this month I'm 100% making an apt. It's been way too long now.

@catherinettc sorry mean to tag @crazydoglady123 above

@Crazydoglady123 HUGE congrats!!!!!! And what a lovely line! As @Katao said, love a good piece of good news! 🥳
