It’s been twelve million years & Minster & the good time crew are still here…it’s almost September and we basically missed out August for BFPs so we are owed.

Lots of people have got new jobs, had time off, gone on holiday, moved house, but what we haven’t had is the BFP to go with it- what’s with that??

So we’re owed a bumper bus ride right? That’s how it goes surely? If you are looking for a community of lovely ladies who know how frustrating it is when your doctor tells you “all women ovulate on day 14” errrr nope, we know a bus load of women who don’t thanks very much 🙋🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️😆🤔then here’s the bus for you. Oh and we don’t just talk TTC, we’ll chat about anything. In fact that’s positively encouraged cos TTC can be bloody boring sometimes!

It costs an embarrassing life (or TTC) story for your ticket please then you can hop on board

Roll on September ladies, it’s time for tunics, leggings & pulling those tunics up for hot quickie action right??

All aboard bus number 47

I think I was under the influence when I agreed to take on this agency bus driver role 🍻 I endeavour to not drink drive…

Plugging @minster2012 blog \\\___, we’ve had cancer, travels & ivf so need to get to the fun stuff, more ivf, surrogacy and more! #shamelessplug

Thankyou so so much to you all for your kind words and support, it means the world to me!!

We want to involve the police but finding this man would be like finding a needle in a haystack, it was in the middle of a field at the main stage at peak time with thousands of people there so there's no chance there will be any cctv, everyone who we were with is checking their pictures and videos to see if we can spot the man in the background and then hopefully do something about it, people like that are dangerous and the next person might not be so lucky!! OH is doing great, he's still asleep but I've been checking throughout the night he's breathing, he's still got his sense of humour, he didn't get that knocked out if hun, he's very annoyed and frustrated at what a coward this man was, any man no matter how big or small can cause so much damage when you hit someone so unexpectedly, and we both know if OH expected it he could've defended himself, but we're just thankful it wasn't any worse! I feel shit, I can't stop crying, going to see how I feel next week then maybe talk to someone, I couldn't sleep last night every time I closed my eyes I had flashbacks, just awful!!

I'm so glad I have this support system, you're all amazing!! And deffo the best place to take my mind off things and get some funny stories😂

@Minster2012 temp dip you say at 7dpo? And twinges? Interesting

kaylsd · 07/09/2021 07:55

@Vil10 I can't imagine how you were feeling throughout that traumatic time 😫😫😫 sending hugs can't believe how many wankers there is in the world. Hope your OH recovers quickly ❤️
@bez91 @Lexber just come on for a quick scroll and a huge huge congratulations to you both 😘😘😘 praying for sticky babies for you both xxx

Went to see a psychic yesterday who saw me having twins apparently and I had a dream last night I gave birth to a baby boy which I've never had those dreams 🙃🤣 hope everyone else is doing okay! At work today and it's gonna hit 28 degrees, least I've got some chubrub protection this time round xx

bez91 · 07/09/2021 08:05

@paintfairy I remember joining the bus the day of my SMM procedure which was December 😊

@Minster2012 dippy eggs in bed is the life. I can't remember the last time I had breakfast in bed. Oooooh symptoms 🤗🤗

@Vil10 how frustrating, really hope he can be identified 💕

@kaylsd yes it seems it's going to be a hot one, what's your chubrub in the form of? I just use a bit of talc 😆 I'm going to try stay out the sweltering office and keep occupied on site visits so I can enjoy some sunshine ☀️

paintfairy · 07/09/2021 08:17

@Minster2012 what are your thoughts on mafsuk? Mine are that the experts seem to somehow be overlooking some very basic things during the match process and that I actually think I could do a better job myself! Meanwhile some of the people going on it seemed to think it was like ordering a partner from a catalogue? 🤷‍♀️ No wonder these people are single. I'm glad I'm not younger- i honestly couldn't hack the shallowness of it all.

Franklydear · 07/09/2021 08:19

@Vil10 can the festival help? Report anyway, and get help, for both of you, in time, that’s something horrific to happen, of course it’s traumatic, always here for you, we’re a little village

Minster2012 · 07/09/2021 08:41

@Lexber it's on E4, def worth a watch but a big pinch of salt as @paintfairy says, it's more for show this one! They are doing it for glory, like love island, for being famous I guess. But i like to watch mind numbing tv go turn my brain off so it works for me...DH can't watch this series though 🤣def think the experts are missing something @paintfairy, they are too used to swiping left or right

@Vil10 oh darling it must be so hard knowing there's unlikely going to be justice 😩

And don't worry everyone dr Google says implantation dips are a myth so stand down 🤣

@bez91 im gonna regret the breakfast in bed though aren't I as I find crumbs tonight I bet!! I did get my own breakfast though so let's not get too romantic 🤣

DH has actually decided to take some time off this week (though he has gone into the office each day so far already as well) and I was cleaning old house yesterday and we are gonna be on gardening today so factor 50 for me as it's already scorching here

paintfairy · 07/09/2021 08:54

@Minster2012 yeah my DH just rants at it too. 🤣 But it is a little ridiculous. I'm also not sure how 25 year old are needing to be married. But if you live in dubai why are you here? He's old enough to know better! 🙄

Franklydear · 07/09/2021 09:11

@Minster2012 our dhs could be friends, mine has the week off, but he went to work till 7 pm yesterday, yes 7, and today he only has a zoom meeting, ....

Franklydear · 07/09/2021 09:13

Ds is gone to school, but of a cough and a runny nose but much better, day date? If we can fit it between meetings, I guess....🙄

Lexber · 07/09/2021 09:16

@Minster2012 thanks I found it - I've watched the Australian one and enjoyed that! Never watched the UK so starting at series 1... that's my viewing for a few weeks! Lol

I joined here 10th March after my coil removal like a lost lamb 🤣 without a clue about TTC, and a very annoying nearly 2 week bleed! Haha feels so long ago but then at the same time not that long ago if that makes sense?

I'm melting today, sat in a dark room with a pint of squash contemplating if I'd prefer a bath or nap at lunch time? 🤣🤣

Lexber · 07/09/2021 09:18

Glad DS is feeling better and off to school @Franklydear hopefully OH pulls his finger out his arse and takes you for that well deserved day date!! Xx

Franklydear · 07/09/2021 09:23

@Lexber he promised to be done 11ish.... worrying about what the ish mean,... I found this Spanish tapas restaurant that looks promising, the staff is Spanish so if it is wrong at least I’ll be able to swear at them properly

feliznavidad2 · 07/09/2021 09:23

So awful @Vil10 - thinking of you and your OH, be kind to yourself, it must have been a huge shock.

@Minster2012 spotting has started. Made it to 10dpo. 🤷‍♀️ I've contacted the GP this am to discuss ultrasound report (when they get it) and come up with a plan. Not sure if I need to see an endo specialist, or a fertility specialist, or what... she'd suggested referral to reproductive medicine prior to the ultrasound showing this endo cyst so who knows. Thanks for asking. x

Somatronic · 07/09/2021 09:35

Morning all. Not too hot here yet but promised hot later on.

I had my follicle tracking scan today. The letrozole worked thank God and there's one follicle at 17mm so I have to take a trigger shot tomorrow evening and follow a strict and frankly bonkers sex schedule from tomorrow til next Tuesday.

She said if my period comes to call again for more tracking so I'm pleased about that as I thought it might just be one cycle on the public system.

Juno231 · 07/09/2021 09:41

@Minster2012 @paintfairy I dont watch it but heard one of my colleagues moan that they overlook even simple things like wanting kids - pairing up one that is desperate for them with someone who doesn't want any. Sounds pretty crappy

@vil10 I'd always get it reported with the police just so it's on records. You never know when it might be needed. Apart from anything it's important police know it from a stats POV

@minster2012 eggs in bed sounds a bit more relaxing! Work isn't slowing down at all but i've run out of f*s to give so I'm barely doing anything now - especially with 29 degrees in london today!

Lexber · 07/09/2021 09:47

Oooh sounds lovely @Franklydear and 🤣 love that!! Fingers crossed he is done in time for a nice date lunch!!

feliznavidad2 · 07/09/2021 10:09

What is the strict and bonkers sex schedule @Somatronic ? I'm intrigued 😂

Amy00 · 07/09/2021 10:27

@bez91 thanks he is really cute! I hope it will be worth it, that's what everyone keeps saying 😬 keep persevering with trying to get the progesterone, I was prescribed it by the RMC via my GP - have you tried your GP? It didn't end up helping me for my last one but that was trisomy 22 so nothing could have helped, and we did at least see a heartbeat on that one so maybe it did help? Who knows, worth a go but don't beat yourself up over it if you can't get hold of some as jury seems to be out whether it helps.

@Minster2012 his name is Wilbur ❤️ sounds like you've been in the wars with a leg brace?! Temp dip could be a secondary oestrogen surge! Or maybe you slept with your mouth open! We are def getting on board the MAFSUK train ASAP. We've been watching Vigil on bbc which is more serious but really enjoying it.

@Lexber congratulations! Fingers crossed for you ☺️

@Vil10 I'm so sorry that happened to you and your OH omg wtf was wrong with that guy 😫 that must have been so so scary. Don't forget to look after yourself as well as your OH xx

@Bea14 thanks for the words of encouragement on the pup! We are finding it very stressful especially as he has decided he now hates his crate (for no reason we can fathom) after loving it for the past 4 weeks, and now will just bark in it. I don't like to leave him in there for too long when he clearly isn't happy but also don't want to reward him for barking by letting him out 🙈 we have no puppy proof areas in the house so it's all just constant chaos while both trying to work from home full time as well 😬😬😬 Sorry you aren't feeling well - get lots of rest!

I think it might be CD1 today for me which would be the shortest cycle for me ever - CD23 and I'm usually a 31 day cycle girl, not sure what's going on, maybe the stress of my life at the moment!

Glorious hot weather here at the moment - not ideal though for the pup!

TTC bus 🚌 47 for all them odd b*tches who DON’T ovulate on CD14 🍳
Minster2012 · 07/09/2021 10:31

Also intrigued with the bonkers sex schedule @Somatronic! But good on the follicle 🤗and more tracking (if it doesn't work that is!)

@Juno231 you def do right with the no f**ks given. They've had their time from you, and yes the matching of someone who doesn't want kids and someone who "absolutely does" is utterly bizarre. Total deal breaker

@feliznavidad2 spotting at 10dpo, ok so that's much better I guess? To be fair my af came at 9dpo last time so I can't speak 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

@Franklydear if you sweat at them in Spanish do you think they might still be mean and spit in your food??? I'm not saying they would but that's what they say for British restaurants!

Vil10 · 07/09/2021 10:31

Thankyou everyone❤️❤️ Definitely going to report it so they have it logged and hoping his face pops up somewhere in the background of some pictures! OH was supposed to have his SA Thursday but he doesn't feel confident enough to even walk the dogs so I told him to rearrange and what's a few more weeks or whatever wait, it's breaking my heart because he's so confident and outgoing and I don't want it to affect him permanently!

@Minster2021 yesss go gardening in this weather!! It's lovely isn't it!!

@Amy00 omg your pup!!! He looks like my mums with all the speckles! So cute!!

Lexber · 07/09/2021 10:40

Oh @Vil10 your poor DH, and you. What a horrible feeling 😕 I hope in a few days he starts to feel his old confident self. It must have really shaken you both! Xx

Somatronic · 07/09/2021 10:44

@feliznavidad2 haha it's probably tame enough for some of you but I can't manage penetrative sex more than once every second day because I get sore (sorry TMI!) so it'll be a challenge.

Tomorrow I take the injection at 6pm and have sex at 10pm, abstain on Thursday, have sex at 6am on Friday morning and at a time of my choice on Friday night, abstain Saturday, sex Sunday, abstain Monday, sex Tuesday. Poor husband is off sick at the moment I hope he's up to it!

Then I wait 12 says until 26th and test if no period by then.

paintfairy · 07/09/2021 10:45

@Vil10 he'll bounce back, he's just having a wobble. It'll take some time to sink in but then he'll be OK. Not a good thing to happen though at all!
@Juno231 yes. And matching a bloke who lives in dubai (who openly said he's expecting the woman to move there) with someone with 2 kids who absolutely clearly cannot move. 🙄🤣

Juno231 · 07/09/2021 10:55

@paintfairy haha that's ridiculous! Any news from the ivf clinic? I assume not, but just pestering you.

paintfairy · 07/09/2021 10:58

@Juno231 nope. I'm not sure if they put something on the portal (assume they would email to say) or if they contact you directly for an appointment or what? But zero so far.
