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

Sorry about your DH @Dollybird89 that must be such a worry. I hope everything is ok 🤗

Urggggh sorry on the BFNs @Franklydear and @Lexber 😩

@Juno231 18th egg has a ring to it for sure 🤞🏼it's the one 😉 I also got (another) peak today so we're TWW buddies if I've popped an egg out.

@dollybird89 I hope that your DH is OK ❤️
@franklydear sorry about the BFN lovely x

Well we are back home... Now to wait for results damit... Think I may have a few shots of his rum tonight as I don't have wine lol

Hope your DH is ok and you aren't waiting to long for him @Dollybird89

It's so frustrating @Franklydear isn't it?! I'm 95 sure I'm not going to get a BFP but until AF I guess it's still possible... 🤷🏽‍♀️ it's only really 9 weeks since coil removal and I'm not expecting anything too soon but had a kind of AF 4 weeks ago so assumed it was 1st cycle - I would LOVE know what's happening in my body right now!!

Welcome @KayL1988 🤞🏼 for a short journey!!

Good luck to all in TWW here's hoping we get some more BFPs this month.. I'm preparing myself to hop into June's bus 🤣🤣🤣

95% sure

@Franklydear sorry about the BFN. will keep fingers crossed for you! That is is just toooo soon!

Also you @Lexber it's so disheartening isn't it 😢💕

@Dollybird89 hope OH is ok 🤞🏼 💕

@KayL1988 welcome, your ticket for admission is an embarrassing story!

7dpo today and you will all be so proud of me -
I have not POAS! 😂

@Tornado2Inc how you doing??

@ Lexber @Franklydear joining you in the BFN boat, waiting for the 🧙to arrive

@blackcurrantqueen it is a little but it's more frustrating being in limbo and just waiting either way.. I don't mind so much if I get AF as we have spoken about TTC for a while and weren't going to start yet but decided it was pointless using protection when I've had coil out because it can take a few months for body to regulate so if it happens sooner rather than later that's ok but we are just enjoying trying haha
I've been using OPK more to check I am ovulating after coil removal as sometimes that can take time to settle..

We should create a club @DOB78 "waiting for the witch" 🤣🤣 with @Franklydear and hopefully atleast one of us will get a BFP before she arrives!

Well done @blackcurrantqueen, very proud 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I'm quite crampy today so assume AF incoming. Ah well, as expected!

Not going to track anything now until August so will just take a more relaxed approach for a couple of months.

Glad you're back @Dollybird89, i imagine you'll hear pretty quick if there's a problem

@Lexber I like a club, we'll call ourselves 3 non reds😂

[quote Franklydear]@Lexber I like a club, we'll call ourselves 3 non reds😂[/quote]
With our tag line "what's going on" 🤣🤣🤣

@Sausage1990 all the love from my own side ❤️ it's awful and we need to get that "one miscarriage for each woman" passed as soon as possible, who do we need to petition for this?!!

@Dollybird89 did you find a distraction? The brain MRI will just say he's a clever clogs I'm sure or a twitch like @Franklydear says 🤣maybe a splinter from the wood??

@Juno231 it's def the egg before ivf that's the golden one...we've learnt that much so far from a few of us

@Lexber I'm sorry for the BFN, You made me laugh, that's you after 2 cycles I don't wanna see you rant down the line, hopefully we can kick you off by then 🙌🏻when you get that free pass to the inside of your body let us in the side gate will you?? We all want to know for ourselves 🙄

Sorry if you get typos tonight. Unlike @Dollybird89 I have wine & ive not been afraid to drink it. Scary being back on full 12% red (that's what was open) after weeks of no alcohol. I have had a drink for all the pregnant ladies, and a cheeky gin too. If I'm gonna see red I may as well drink it too. 🍷Bottoms up ladies

On another note our house went on right move today, and DH & I were outside chatting to lovely new neighbours before we went to MIL as they had opened their gate to let our dappy big dogs in they love so she was happily running round with their kids (they have 3 kids) on our shared driveway so 4 kids running round gathering pebbles & putting them in various buckets, tractors etc as a car pulled up and hovered at the entranceway of the drive blatantly a drive by...I said to DH well the picture of kids playing having fun on a shared driveway whilst we chat to lovely neighbours will either sell the dream of village living or make them fun a mile 🤣😂🤷🏼‍♀️they looked pretty old like 65or so, place your bets now if we get a viewing 🙄

@larrythelizard AUGUST????? Why august???

@Minster2012 I'm on cycle one ranting so you wait for cycle 2 next month .. so far today I have laughed, cried, convinced myself I'm most definitely not pregnant and I am ok with that, convinced AF is coming, eaten a massive donut, then decided I need to rejoin slimming world 🤣🤣 then questioned if I ovulated when I thought I did, then convinced myself I could be pregnant but too early, then questioned how long after static smiley you actually ovulate?!?!
Then nearly POAS again, before convincing myself there's no point wasting one for atleast a few days to thinking "maybe tomorrow..." before getting back round to convincing myself the cramps are AF so I'm def not pregnant.. I'm doing my own head in 🤣🤣 I even contemplated starting OPk testing to give me something to do 🤣🤣🤣

Oh @Lexber that's just standard behaviour here, nothing out of the ordinary 😂now you are fully TTC do you not use OPKs?! Or would that be scary to DH? (Though how much you tell them is your to you?)

@Minster2012 I treated myself (is it a treat?!?) to a clear blue digital - the one that flashes then goes static so used that last month. I used IC OPK to give me an idea when to start using the CB so as not to waste them, and went right into flashy faces after initial O but I'm not sure how long after the static smiley you can ovulate I've seen a mixture of answers ranging 12-72hrs?!?

I've not told him much just I was I trying to figure out what's happening after coil removal as wasn't sure and he knew I was ovulating as I wouldn't let him sleep for days 🤣🤣🤣 I think since coming off contraception (first time since in 18/19 years as caught pregnant twice before years ago with my kids on the pill!) my hormones are going crazy...! We are taking it as it comes as such 😉 but I'm not expecting much to happen for a few months atleast...

@Minster2012 there's several birthdays, a hen do, a wedding and a family holiday in June/July and in an ideal world I wouldn't be telling people I was pregnant before 12 weeks at least and I don't see how I'd hide it for all of those events...

Also I'm about to apply for a promotion and know I'll get an interview and so wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if I wasn't pregnant immediately.

Will still be trying, just not temping or OPKing. Also will be pursuing blood tests etc so still carrying on just less ARGH about it all!

@blackcurrantqueen ohhh embarrassing story. I can never think of one under pressure... I guess the thing that haunts me to this day was when I was dating OH when he was in a shared house about 10yrs ago. We went out for drinks with everyone and obviously I was feeling anxious and had a few too many drinks to be 'one of the gang'.

Was so drunk as the night went on we headed home and he put me to bed.

Queue me waking up about 2am in the morning feeling sick but not being able to get out of the bed because I was in the side pushed against the wall/window. So I opened the window and began being rather sick. Queue his housemates walking home and seeing me vomming out of the upstairs window. I've learnt my lesson honest.

@blackcurrantqueen PoAS (or not POAS) at 7dpo made you think of me? Awwwwww! 😂 9 or 10 dpo here, POASed since 6dpo (or 5 🙈) and nothing yet. Few shadow lines, but think they were evap. FRER as white as it gets. Having a glass of wine in any case! 🍷

@larrythelizard if there's one thing I've learnt it's that I can't be arsed with the "12 week rule" for telling those that might support us but I do see where you are coming from. Don't worry, we will vzrrry the "ARGH" for you as you relax & e joy hot sex
🤣

@Lexber I think a CB is a treat! And working out OV time is part of the fun game who the f knows anyway! I think I've broken google over he past two days by asking things like "when did you ovulate after miscarriage" so we are all here for the crazy thoughts we can't really answer! If only it was as easy as when on the pill eh?! Simple life!

@KayL1988 hey welcome, hope you have a short ride! @larrythelizard is taking charge whilst I chill a bit bit she's got everything in hand, do you have an embarrassing story for us?

It's nice seeing you on the thread @Minster2012 🥰 We miss you! ❤️
