Ding Ding

Agency bus driver here so expect driving past the normal bus stops, someone incapable of working the ticket machine and definitely no change given!

In all seriousness I really hope I have all the right names in the right places!

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 the boss' blog then blame these guys they made me do it...#shamelessplug

minstermusings.co.uk for the blog that’s where the full stuff happens
& minstermusings on insta - some of our ladies have made special anonymous accounts so we can link up via minster 🥰
If you want to sign up & get updates please do, please note your username if you comment shows up to others so maybe make it anonymous she won’t be offended 😂🤣(unless you are mean)

Story so far...

June 24 BFPs
July 11 BFPs

Sep 4 BFPs
Oct 7 BFPs
Nov 7 BFPs
Dec 14 BFPs
jan 7 BFPs
February 8 BFPs
March 5 BFPs
April 5 BFPs

So into May we go, and plenty going on...

Well done @larrythelizard! My god I'm so emotional today...seeing my name in the BFP list made me well up 🙈

Franklydear · 16/05/2021 22:10

@larrythelizard you forgot to put the link as the last post
Also what's the program, sound good

Franklydear · 16/05/2021 22:12

Ok you didn't, just didn't load on time

bez91 · 16/05/2021 22:12

Thanks @larrythelizard "agency bus driver" reminds me of supply teachers in school. Can we all misbehave? 😈

Minster2012 · 16/05/2021 22:13

BOOM!!! @larrythelizard I've never managed to do that so GUESS WHAT YOU'RE PROMOTED 🤣🥇

I can head back to the roof and try rum shots with @Dollybird89 right?? Where's them snacks @Tornado2Inc Ive had drink & I need me some MUNCHIES, back on the exercise shot when pesky MC done

it's like the good old days when you lot took the piss out of me posting drunken shit 🤣

Loving the title here's to fertility fuckery & our lonely village

Chin chin ladies, low alcohol stats again next week

Oh and I think this is appropriate

Of course it takes a village when you're dealing with fertility f*ckery TTC bus 41
Juno231 · 16/05/2021 22:14

@Franklydear no she did!

@larrythelizard thank you for setting up the new bus, love the intro 😍

KayL1988 · 16/05/2021 22:15

Excited to be in the thread. Buckled up and ready!

Lexber · 16/05/2021 22:16

Thanks @larrythelizard - are we going to need seatbelts?!?

I hope @Minster2012 taught you well 🤣🤣

Aww @Crazydoglady123 I bet!! ❤️

Fingers crossed for some BFPs on the new bus, or lots of wine 🍷

minthumbugs · 16/05/2021 22:17

I'm rubbish at contributing but I try to keep up with everyone! Some light reading 😂 marking my spot, maybe this will be a very lucky bus? 🤞🏻 X

Dollybird89 · 16/05/2021 22:20

@larrythelizard thanks for the new bus! @Minster2012 I brought the shot glasses and the rum 😁 top deck here I come!!

larrythelizard · 16/05/2021 22:22

@bez91 I feel like one! Clearly I'll never remember names so you can get away with murder until the boss returns!

@Franklydear it's called The Block. Only watched the participants get introduced not anything about the actual renovations!

I dinged DH's car on Friday and cracked his bumper @Lexber so im not sure I should be driving a car let alone a bus, seatbelts deffo recommended!

@Minster2012 you just need to do what you need to do!

I am back on the diet wagon as of this morning, want to feel good for the summer and it's pretty much here so need to get back on it! Not tonight though, we had sourdough and chips for tea!

Lexber · 16/05/2021 22:31

That's me on Instagram @larrythelizard and @Minster2012 Incas enough wondered who the weirdo was 😉 I've no idea who anyone else is 🤣🤣

Oh My OH would kill me if I dinged our van, Altho I think I'd be more upset as he's (Timmy we called him) my baby, it's taken me a while but I'm finally getting behind the wheel and driving it!! And the feeling of freedom is amazing (camper van to anyone who thinks I'm talking in riddles!)

I'm eating better from tomorrow - after my bag of Cadbury buttons in bed.. 🤣🤣🤦🏽‍♀️

Tornado2Inc · 16/05/2021 22:34

@larrythelizard I read "sperm" 😩 Need another glass... @Minster2012 no low alcohol stats here 😂

Of course it takes a village when you're dealing with fertility f*ckery TTC bus 41
Somatronic · 16/05/2021 23:01

@larrythelizard thanks for the bus.

I'm on the gin with severe Sunday night horrors Sad

Franklydear · 16/05/2021 23:03

And we managed to finish another weekend without finding the time to drink, anything other than squash, meh, should I start running the aa meetings?

Catherinettc · 16/05/2021 23:28

@larrythelizard absolutely brilliant intro! 👏

Caolan thanks u for his 1st ever shout out 🤣🤣

Marking my place to keep up with the madness and @franklydear nocturnal rants etc when I'm up for night feeds 🙃 xx

InkyPaper · 16/05/2021 23:36

Taking my seat on the bus, thanks for setting it up @larrythelizard!

Katiekattty · 16/05/2021 23:42

Two seats for me please!! I’ve never been so bloated in my life. I’ve bought some ‘nosecco’ to takeaway in the camper this week. I’m planning to buy some seedlip gin as well and attempt to make cocktails in a vw campervan. This may or may not go well.

Sausage1990 · 17/05/2021 00:44

Thanks for the new bus @larrythelizard!!!

Just taking my seat in the top deck with @minster2012 and I hope you don't mind if I join in on the rum with you and @dollybird89, except I think punch some of your rum and I'll maybe rustle us up a mojito or two 🍸🍸🍸🍸

Crazydoglady123 · 17/05/2021 03:47

@Katiekattty I feel your pain! I've been up the last hour in so much pain with the bloating/gas. I have a progesterone injection every three days alongside the pessaries and I think tonight's injection just tipped it over the edge 🥺 Dr Google says it's common when estrogen & progesterone rise 🙄

Justanothercyster · 17/05/2021 06:43

Hi everyone ✨

lucyrp · 17/05/2021 06:44

Marking my place 🥰

I'm sure you'll be a great cover bus driver 😛

DOB78 · 17/05/2021 06:56

Heading up top. @larrythelizard could I go back on the lost pretty please. I'd asked @Minster2012 to take me off when I was sulking up I'm OK now 🙂

polkadotpixie · 17/05/2021 06:56

I'm here too (I posted a bit on the last bus)...still only on CD 11 over here and you've already filled a whole thread 😂

Not sure if I'm going to be able to try this month after all. I've found a lump in my right boob and my appointment to check it out isn't til Thursday so CD14. My GP doesn't think it's anything sinister as I'm prone to them anyway but referred me to the breast clinic to be on the safe side. Obviously I can't TTC until I (hopefully) know it's okay so may well miss ovulation this cycle 😩 Although I didn't ovulate til CD17 last month so might be okay 🤞

Minster2012 · 17/05/2021 07:14

Oh no I lost you already on Insta @Lexber you might have to give us a clue! Love the sound of the camper van but not @larrythelizard dinging OH's car 🤦🏼‍♀️

Def we can ALL misbehave for the agency driver, agency drivers get paid more 🤣that's the penance 😋🤪

🥳🍸mojitos @Sausage1990 awesome

Scuttling away now, got some heavy cramping need to get pain killers on board
