Of course it takes a village when you're dealing with fertility f*ckery TTC bus 41

[larrythelizard]

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

Last page post 🪂✈️ there we go again....

@paintfairy good excuse for lots of horse baths!

@Haiyaa she messaged me this eve saying she's still in shock 😂

@Justanothercyster aw wow! I don't know if that's worse or easier than the younger kids? Haha normally I'd be relishing in the sun

@kaylsd omg those puppy dog eyes 😍😍😍

@Madeoftea thank you! Deffo have "extreme fatigue" but grateful no sickness! How are you feeling? Oow I do hope you manage to get your scan! So exciting!

@blackcurrantqueen thank you! I doubt I'll be able to contain myself and tbh will prob take the measurements from today to make sure everything's okay. My ovaries are still really large (around 6cm) so that's why I've been having sharp pains in them.

Thank you @DKDK123! I'm so sorry the fertility clinic hasn't been more helpful. Can GP's prescribe progesterone? Don't take no for an answer on your referral. Your butterfly babies are beautiful 🦋

@Vil10 omg he's gorgeous 💙

Oooooh @Vil10 he is so gorgeous 😍😍😍, Nice that you will be able to keep contact with at least one of the pups!

@DKDK123 that is fucking outrageous! TBH I would have just said they were all losses at the 6 week mark if that’s the case - how are they going to know?

Oooooh thanks @blackcurrantqueen and @larrythelizard! I’m trying not to get my hopes up but no matter what they seem to every month, same for us all I suppose 😕

@Crazydoglady123 she will be happy for you!! You can chat strategies with @Madeoftea 🥰and yes are you going to not say youve had a scan?

@2020mission I will look that up thank you!

@paintfairy what do you class as shotgun? We got engaged then married in 7 months and made a play on it with a shotgun theme, would've done it quicker too but not cos of a baby 🙄

@Haiyaa im hoping your friends kicked in the vag is a good thing, not lightening fanny is it?

@kaylsd OMG look at her! She's so gorgeous! SNAP but mine is less fluffy bit more "cocker" (he's a bit of a cock sometimes!)

@Madeoftea that's gone so quickly! Have you told your family? How did they take it?

I hate that feeling running to the loo @KiwiTTC1st im afraid the knicker watch doesn't end even if you get pregnant 🤔for some of us the worry makes you watch even more 😬

@blackcurrantqueen im hopeful too I'm just being a twat clearly 🤣

@DKDK123 oh darling the biggest of hugs for you, you need the time out. both my miscarriages have been before 6 weeks (just) in terms of measurements and they didn't say that to me about not being considered if I have another? Def push darling the gp should refer you 🤞🏻

@Crazydoglady123 I actually have no running water, so baths do not happen. 🤣
@Haiyaa stabby vag. 🤣 I have no idea. I'm not sure I want it either.
@DKDK123 that's shocking. And yes agree with above, if it means you get somewhere then they were 6 weeks. They won't know.
@Minster2012 we did ours in 9 actually. I must have been psychic, as lockdown happened 5 months later......
@Vil10 gorgeous boy!

Ffs tagged the wrong person. That's a terrible rota @lucyrp even if you weren't going to be 36 weeks pregnant!

@Vil10 I love the look of albert's attitude, looks so nonplussed!

There's no reason this couldn't be your month @Haiyaa, 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 for you!

No running water @paintfairy?!

Haven't had chance to catch up yet, will do in the morning but just popped on to see how @Crazydoglady123 got on.... and wow 🤩 two babies 👶 👶 so bloody happy for you 🥳 🍾🥂

Wait that's weird, I had a whole page not load so didn't see @Vil10s pup 🥰& the dodgy things @lucyrp has been searching for clearly 🤣

@larrythelizard at the horses, not my house. 🤣 Can you imagine?

Right I'm off for a knobbing

Here you go ladies!

TWINS?! Oh f**k! 😱 avoiding those 🧀🍆& banging in camper vans; it’s TTC bus 42 http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/4260846-twins-oh-f-k-avoiding-those-banging-in-camper-vans-it-s-ttc-bus-42

Do t laugh when I'm back in a mo 🤣🤣🍆

Hahahaha @paintfairy I was picturing you living on a barge or something...!! Glad it's just at the horses!!

@larrythelizard 🤣 no. How do people on boats wash? Never really thought about that! But I definitely don't live on a boat.

Meme time?

Loving all the cute dog pics 😍
Thanks for the rest of the well wishes on the fertilised eggs!

@DKDK123 give 'em hell on Friday!! 🥊

Fit in a funny one www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4260761-To-tell-friend-this-outfit-is-inappropriate

@Franklydear I read that one! Some people are just so rude - can’t believe she told her to fuck off! But then she is planning on wearing a white jumpsuit held together with tit tape to a wedding just to spite her SIL (the bride). Real piece of work! 🤣🤣🤣

@Haiyaa @Franklydear did you see the follow up pic? As if you'd wear that to a wedding anyway 😂

Yeah @notyetamumbuttrying, was both awful and hilarious! Posters were right in thinking that all the other guests are going to be pissing themselves laughing at her!

@notyetamumbuttrying I did, to a wedding or anywhere else for that matter, I don’t think I would even try it on for a laugh, but dds here, so I would be terrified of a wardrobe malfunction anyway

Ooooo I was just reading that thread! Where's the follow up pic @Franklydear @notyetamumbuttrying @Haiyaa ??? I really want to see a picture!

@Minster2012 It's a pic posted by the OP, if you keep scrolling through it you'll see it. Just of a model wearing the style of jumpsuit. Highly inappropriate for a wedding unless you're 20, have a banging body and are a model 😆

@notyetamumbuttrying 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱not even sure ANYONE can wear that & not look pure trash!

I really hope there's a follow up thread like "well she did it" and with pics of the aftermath 🤣

Ps, I'm planning on wearing a jumpsuit to a wedding in august, think Boden not slut though 🤣@notyetamumbuttrying
