Shower tugging, implantation nosebleeds & a pocket full of rainbows🌈TTC bus 49

[Minster2012]

The weather has definitely turned chilly, so it’s time to hunker down on that Willy 🍆

Its Halloween time full of ghosts and ghouls 👻🎃but will our f*ck boy bodies make us into the fools?

Come on universe we’ve done our time, we’ve had lots of tricks so give us our treats 🐣.

Whether you are TTC “normally”, IUI/ivf or anything we are a crew that cling together to the bitter end & always ready to help a sister out.

It costs an embarrassing story for your ticket, doesn’t have to be TTC related as we know laughing when TTC is needed.

If you see mention of Instagram I have a public account where a lot of people are linked too:
Minstermusings, and a few people have created new anonymous accounts to record their TTC journey/life stupidities m/general annoyances on…just don’t mention TTC on a personal account please!

Bumps & babies who want to keep track of us from our other buses 👀

@pennysays hope the migraine got better & wasn't caused BY belindas outfit! I haven't watched last nights yet but there's another corker on Thursday!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻for your embryos come on!!! Today is for you to get a baby on board!

@InkyPaper 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@DKDK123 🌈🌈🌈

@Minster2012 wrong @ for paintfairy there I think minster!

@paintfairy @InkyPaper @DKDK123 good luck to all of you today, will be thinking of you!

10dpo and my temp has started to drop. No miracle baby here this cycle either I think!

So many good news coming our way today @DKDK123 @InkyPaper @paintfairy

5th day of flashing smiley and no creamy cm to be seen either, at cd 16 this is really late (for me)

@DKDK123 @InkyPaper @paintfairy good luck to you all today, sending all the positive vibes your way❤️

@Minster2012 I'm definitely jealous too😂 I'd love twins (also hoped it would be a possibility with twins on both mine and my OH's side)

I did wonder who @pennysays was 🤔 😆 @Juno231 @Minster2012

Sorry been so quiet!

Good luck today ladies @paintfairy @DKDK123 @InkyPaper ❤️

@larrythelizard yes we have a private scan booked for 27th OH is desperate to know, I will be 16+3 so should be a good time!! Ouch to the cost!! That sucks!!

@DKDK123 so glad it was negative- good luck today!! ❤️ that little keepsake is beautiful and so meaningful xx

@InkyPaper 🤞🏼

@Manifestingbaby I think 90% of people who saw the size of me said 2... I was gobsmacked I laid laughing then crying then laughing again. The sonographer was lovely and laughing with us as I kept belly laughing out the blue while she was scanning and knocking the picture off 🤣🤦🏽‍♀️ plus bottom baby wouldn't stay still to measure so we had to go for a walk and come back.. my girls will be 15 and nearly 12 when babies come so thankfully independent and sometimes helpful! I had worried that with such a big gap one May get lonely and contemplated another after BUT this sickness soon kicked that idea out the window as I couldn't do it again I've been so poorly!

@paintfairy I sent OH after scan when I finished work at hone to the shops to find something baby wise to use for the picture and I wear converse 99% of the time so he brought them back ❤️

@Vil10 I've always loved the idea of twins, ask me in 2 years about the reality 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Good luck @InkyPaper

@InkyPaper 🤞🏼 good luck

@DKDK123 rooting for you today!!!! 🌈

@Franklydear I wonder if when you couldn't get the sticks to work you've started too late and missed it peaking, might be worth abandoning for this month!

@Lexber congratulations on double the trouble 🥰 so exciting for you xx

@feliznavidad2 @Juno231 🤣 I guess it begins with P?
@Minster2012 I fell asleep and missed the end so had to rewatch. But the outfit didn't help. Why does she dress like she's 13? She's 29 ffs. Hopefully we'll catch up on the rest over the weekend. I love it. Although I have mixed feelings on the whole Bryce situation. Yes he's a knob. But they are bullying him. 🤔
@Lexber be a while before they fit. 🤣

Thanks for the well wishes! I've not slept hardly! So anxious with what they are going to call and say. Told DH when I woke up that I'd not slept and he was like why? 🤦‍♀️ @larrythelizard yup douce. 🤣 I also told him the acupuncture lady asked last night what we doing after. She said most couples go for lunch or a nice walk etc. He said no they don't. 🤣 I said actually I think some do as I've read that. He said well we've got too much to do. 🤪 No romance here!

I'll await your update @InkyPaper 🤞
@DKDK123 I'm excited for your scan! Today is the day! 🥳

I'm annoyed I have normal people on Instagram and I can't put things on there. Why didn't I set up another account? 🤦‍♀️ I might have to delete them all and just keep you lot. 🤣

Oh yes @Juno231 you are right!! Didn't have my coffee then!! Again, just saying my temp dropped for my BFP

@paintfairy it's totally understandable not to sleep. Well, unless you are men. They just sleep. Mine exactly the same. You could still set up a TTC account for Insta now surely? She dresses like a doll, it's ridiculous, and not sexy surely??? And totally agree with you on Bryce, I think they are painting it for what they want to show, but Melissa is a bit weak

@Vil10 you've got twins on both your sides too!! I think it's lovely for @Lexber with 2 elder girls then two young babies will be lovely (and great to have help!) and as "first baby" again lovely 😊

@Franklydear I also think maybe just keep bonking and leave the sticks til next cycle

Pleased the problem has passed @feliznavidad2 - are you drinking enough water?

Good luck today @paintfairy @InkyPaper @DKDK123 💕💕💕

I also think that IVF is stressful @Manifestingbaby @paintfairy - one of my friends is about to start it and her partner says it's a secret he'll take to the grave as he views it as a failure that they have ended up having IVF. Poor chap. She's trying hard to change his mindset on it.

Gah annoying @Juno231, still time before IVF.

Ooh do it @paintfairy I have a secret insta for all the secret friends on my phone 😉

I used the Ava bracelet for the first time last night, was hoping I'd be able to input some data into FF which I now realise is stupid as it doesn't measure BBT! But anyway back into tracking - AF expected today.

@larrythelizard @Minster2012 how do I set it up? 🤔 secret insta might be needed. 🤣

• keeps checking MN for updates on today's ladies

@larrythelizard that's so sad 😞 he may feel differently in the future but it doesn't really matter if it works I guess, but still sad. I've said before my DH struggled with it and if it was factors due to him I think he would've found it worse. But he got better and accepted it and now we have DS he doesn't really care who knows about our ivf struggles & most Ppl will assume this is an ivf pregnancy, he likely won't correct ppl, so it might change 🤞🏻

@Juno231 when's your practice transfer? And do you know it's going to be jan now?

@larrythelizard are you trying & tracking? 🤞🏻

Still in pjs here eating sausage sandwiches & watching tv (MAFS for me). DH left at 5.30 and thankfully snuck out, there might be a builder coming round, but unknown when?! will he come round when we are in pjs? Dog walking or out swimming 😂place your bets - why do ppl think it's ok to not give times for stuff???

Another random ramble. Christmas. It's coming. And stock shortages apparently. Shit. Is Black Friday soon??? What do I need?? Arghhhhhh

@paintfairy "why?" 😆 That's what mine would say! Mind you he also asks why I'm mad 2 min after a big argument - it's like his brain doesn't work half the time. I'm far too nervous I'm your behalf today btw, I'm so invested!

Not gonna lie, I might have to do a bit of a trip around the UK to see all the babies produced by you wonderful women ♥️

@Minster2012 noo don't remind me of Christmas, I'm not ready shopping wise and the house is still a dump so no point decorating it really.

@Juno231 very welcome here!! You can fight the mice for the cheese board 😂🧀 now that's not the attitude we have for Xmas here you know that. A tree shot & wreath shot (pref homemade) are basically obligatory

@paintfairy errrr I followed instructions on the internet

Totally intrigued as to who @larrythelizard's phone friends are?? You mean ppl other than us??? Or us

Had my update. Was literally shaking. I am not fully sure what he said. 🤣

So we have 3 at blastocyst stage. 1 that looks best which they'll look to transfer today. But they'll recheck before doing it. The other 2 they'll check later/ tomorrow to see if suitable for freezing. But then he said something about 2 again and I can't decide if he was referring to the 2 he'd just spoken about or the 2 that were left. I guess I'll find out later.....

It was a BFN and I feel a little silly for testing but we've still got the IVF appointments starting in a couple of weeks, so that's something to look forward to. Thanks for thinking of me, everyone ❤️

@paintfairy oh yay!! So you've definitely got one to transfer and potentially two frosties - that's great! Hope the transfer goes well later ❤️

@DKDK123 good luck with your scan today ❤️

'Tour of the babes' @Juno231 🗺 🚘 😛

Enjoy your sausage sammich @Minster2012 - bloody love 'em!

Ee, thinking of you @paintfairy 🤞🏻 x

Don't feel silly @InkyPaper it coulda been?! Hope you're alright and have a nice rest of the day planned.

@paintfairy 3 is wonderful! I knew you'd be ok 👍🏾 hopefully you did mishear and it's more! Amazing that transfer can go ahead though, best of luck and keep us posted x
@InkyPaper sorry for bfn but ivf on the horizon is a good focus now. You got this! 💪
@DKDK123 best of luck for your scan lovely ☺️

I'd join you @Juno231 would be a good way to see the country!

I mean you lot @Minster2012!

That sounds positive and that transfer day is on @paintfairy 🥳

Definitely don't feel silly @InkyPaper - I did a test the other day despite using condoms since august as I thought I felt a baby moving. Presumably just wind 🤷🏻‍♀️

Just tracking @Minster2012 - think I'll give it a cheeky shot at Xmas as FW is looking like Xmas week and if that doesn't work then wait until enhanced mat pay will kick in (late March I think)

@paintfairy 🙌🏻🙌🏻😊🙌🏻🙌🏻brilliant

Great news @paintfairy, hoping for lots more good news this weekend! Thanks to the fact it has been pissing it down here all week I’ve seen lots of rainbows 🌈 so I’m taking it as a positive omen for everyone on here!

@blackcurrantqueen @Minster2012 ok, decided, sticks abandoned till next cycle and now to wait and see, I have gp appointment on Monday too, the bonking is more complicated, had a huge fight with dh this morning, it’s a long story but basically I needed him to do something for ds 4 mins tops, and he wouldn’t get the phone, when it was nearly too late he did, but then the help took 25+min, all my fault of course, I take soo much time off work for ds, he got used to it all being on me , I could have ltb in the spot, had a rubbish couple of days too, lots gone wrong and more work created, and doesn’t feel like I have anything to look forward to except chores...
@paintfairy that sounds positive
@InkyPaper don’t feel silly, it would have played in your mind for ages, best to know
@Juno231 I want to get on the tour of the babies, sounds great

Just very quickly popping on in between family visits, will do a proper catch up later, but it's happy tears all round, baby is doing perfectly 🥰
