Trouble titties, windy 🌬 bums, & full stockings of old 💦…TTC bus 50

[Minster2012]

When you don’t think about your days as “Monday Tuesday Wednesday” you think of them as “fertile week” or “CD12” we know the feeling.

We’ve tried baby dust (back in early 2020 I think we stopped believing in that!?, we’ve tried chocolate/pizza & sofa sex (remember that? Late 2020, that got a lot of babies!) and now we are onto manifesting, testing, pleading & yet there’s still some unwanted bleeding🤣😂well tough titties we are here to stay til we get those BFPs🤞🏻🙌🏻we just need to rinse out our foofs & get the nurses to wade through our stocking full of old sperm 💦

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. We’ve had multiples, some losses so know two lines can be just as terrifying as none, and we’ve got ladies where those two lines are more illusive than a white Christmas 🎅🏻

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.

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

Yay for you too @feliznavidad2 really great to hear!

@Vil10 I'm also amazed you have no tests in!

I went to see a friend's newborn this weekend and came away with some tests and she doesn't need them anymore!

@Vil10 & @feliznavidad2 brilliant news for both of you!!

Oh and good luck @Sunbird24 - massive 🌈 here today so I'm assuming that was for you

@larrythelizard just ordered 4 frer's to come tomorrow morning!!

@feliznavidad2 aww lovely news!!

@Sunbird24 Thankyou!

Also sorry to anyone who I've upset this morning, I didn't even think of putting a warning pic before my test I was just shaking and not even thinking!!

@Vil10😁😁😁😁😁🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 yay! Fantastic news, so happy for you!

@feliznavidad2 brilliant! Happy dance for you too!

@Sunbird24 this seems to be a lucky day 🤞🤞🤞 lets hope some of it rubs off on you 😁 good things come in 3s

@Franklydear sure it's only a cheapy, why not. Hope OH improves soon.

@Vil10 waaaaa 😭😭😭😭

@Minster2012 well I waited for a bit but then it all became too much and I started to cry. The platform assistant took pity and said I should get on the next train and my items would be bagged and put in the office for me to collect later. Which they were. Sexy knickers and all.

@clolo I honestly never thought that would happen to me!!

@Manifestingbaby Thankyou so much!!

Well my Amazon order isn't coming until Tuesday!! Even though it's prime!! I need to find somewhere that does frer, the Morrison's near me does the rapid results ones but I want the early ones!!

What is the earliest DPO to test that wouldn’t be a ridiculous waste of a test in all of your opinions??

@vil10 yay!!!!!!! Congratulations hunny the pissy fingers are totally worth it for this moment 🥺❤️❤️❤️
@larrythelizard I hope you don’t have a hangover this morning but thank you for the well wishes!
@inkypaper thank you for that website I’m similar to you the more I know the better I feel at ease with things as I’ll have abit of insight what’s going to happen! I’ll look into that podcast thank you :)
@chiatta 🤣🤣🤣 love the story I would have wanted the floor to swallow me up! Welcome to the bus :) I hope your stay here is short and successful!
@juno231 I hope you feel better soon :( keep drinking plenty and plenty of rest
@feliznavidad2 I bet that was such a lovely moment for you seeing the little ones heart beat! Hopefully it puts your mind at ease now a little bit 🤞🏻🤞🏻🥰
@sunbird24 happy transfer day ✨🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Girls a little bit of advice what would you do in my shoes? I have my belated honeymoon booked in June next year and I may be starting IVF next year as my clinic has a pathway once someone’s accepted they have to commenced all treatment and complete it by 18 week which takes me to March. It’s in Dominican Republic which is a long haul flight, shall I transfer the holiday to a closer destination incase I’m pregnant or cancel it all together or go ahead to the selected place as planned? I don’t know what to do with it and the balance is due 2nd of January (happy new year to us I guess -.-)
I’m uncertain what’s the best outcome to do!

I've seen them in Lloyds pharmacies near me @Vil10, maybe you could have a clear blue for telling DP that would say 'pregnant' on it?

@chiatta probably 10dpo? I have quite obv tested at 5/6 dpo before but think that's probs stupid...

@Vil10 so happy for you, about time too let's hope you're the start of another lucky streak of bfp for those who are long overdue them 🤞

@feliznavidad2 glad to hear all went well with the scan, must be a big relief 😊

Good luck today @Sunbird24 🤞

@chiatta 10dpo is usually quite a safe bet if you have early tests like FRER, I've gotten some bfp at 8 and 9dpo but I'd say on average day 10/11 seems to be usually a good indicator of what way its going to go that month.....tho do remember some people don't get a bfp till much later.

Little bit of a hangover and an escalation at work but it's Friday, I'll get through @kaylsd.

Hmm that's a tough one @kaylsd is Dominican Republic a Zika area (is zika still a thing?). Can you move the booking? I think I'd be tempted to rebook for a preggo friendly destination and hope for the best?

@Vil10 we were sitting on our morning coffee waiting for you to show up, we didn’t need delays, I like the idea of a test with words for dh
@chiatta 10 dpo
@Sunbird24 rainbow wishes to you today
@kaylsd that’s an impossible question,

Dh is mostly annoyed, he has work to do, don’t you know? He is not doing much, but some organising

Pissing in a sandwich bag @bez91 I wouldn't put it passed us 😂😂

@feliznavidad2 YESSSSSSSS that's so awesome!!

@clolo Instagram spree!! 😂🥰love it

@chiatta that's funny!! Some ppl test at 9dpo onwards but we've had ladies where it's gone from negative at 9dpo with frer to positive at 11dpo so most of us go for around 10/11dpo.
How far in are you? 🤞🏻

@Vil10 crying with happy tears for you 😭😭🎉

@larrythelizard loving the tests present 🎁

@kaylsd you could phone the clinic for advice, but I would say long haul flights are still ok in early pregnancy so I'd prob not change it long as it's not a zika risk

@Minster2012 I'm 4DPO and will try on 10DPO on 2nd Dec, seems a long wait

@chiatta it always does, and many of us will fall before then

@larrythelizard zika is indeed still a thing and it's on all the clinic forms @kaylsd - they won't do ivf within so many months of you going before or after. I've no idea where the zika countries are though.
@Vil10 I'm so jealous you avoided fertility treatment. And here you were thinking you'd had the worst luck ever this week! 🤣 Erm not any more! 🥳 Boots do frer, but I would see if a normal chemist do too? Some must? Effing amazon. Useless.
@feliznavidad2 brilliant news! I bet that's a relief.

@Vil10 jealous but definitely not upset. We don't see half enough bfps in my opinion. Definitely a change in luck for OGs lately, long may it last 😁

@chiatta sorry forgot to welcome you 👋 ya agree not before 10dpo earliest but personally I don't mind wasting a few cheapy test earlier if the urge is strong 😂

@kaylsd I'd probably try to find a compromise that you'd be happy with either way if such a thing exists?

@kaylsd they really are!!!❤️ Hmm that's hard!! I'd say if Dominican is a Zika virus area maybe change the destination lovely x

@Franklydear Thankyou❤️ are you planning on testing?

@Minster2012 I'm crying with you😭😭😭

@paintfairy ive been a mess this week thinking I've had the worst time ever🤣🤣

@Manifestingbaby oh I completely get you, and it's completely viable feeling like that, sending you hugs❤️

I managed to get to a boots pharmacy for a 2 pack of frer, £10.49 like, robbing bastards, but I have one for tomorrow morning then, and I'm definitely pregnant😭😭

@Vil10, yes, I am quite puzzled, guess could be covid messing up, but boobs still full, pulling cramps still here, bloated, dh is hoping that boobs just stay that way from now on, errr, thanks, no

@Franklydear it's worth a test! @Vil10 proves that!!
