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 👀

BFP for the bus over here! Not getting excited after the last 3 times, but fingers crossed this is the one… 🌈

@Sunbird24 everything crossed this is your sticky bean darling xxx

@Sunbird24 how many days past transfer are you? Fingers crossed for a sticky bean!

@paintfairy only 5! It was only 1 embryo as well this time

@Kirky658 you're getting there! Things will surely improve over the coming couple of months x

@Sunbird24!!! Was not expecting a test from you so soon. That is fantastic. Congratulations x

@sunbird24 woop, ❤️🎉 got everything crossed for a sticky bean x

@Minster2012 oh wow strip fondue nights 😂 that explains the array of age groups, trying to get in with the young ones. Sounds weird!

@Sunbird24 woahhh amazing 🌈 🥳 when was/is your OTD? It only seems yesterday your transfer 😊

@Sunbird24!!! Keeping everything crossed for you ❤️🌈

Ahhh I see @Franklydear yeah that's not ideal 😬

@paintfairy that's good then if not stressing over the RHR, let's face it there's always gonna be something to stress over now 😂😂

Yesssssssss @Sunbird24 I thought you said you were away with work til Friday & not taken any (nor buying any) piss sticks!! 1st for December ❤️🌈🎄🙌🏻come on sticky embryo

Very weird it was @larrythelizard but I do think they are the type to be fun when pissed 😂

My OTD isn’t until a week on Friday, and AF isn’t due for about 4/5 days… I just got symptoms today so figured I’d try it. Was expecting an absolute squinter if it was even positive at all this early!

@Minster2012 I need to lock up my tests. I did one this morning despite promising myself I would wait till 12DPO. I'm 9DPO, BFN this morning

Well there's def still time @chiatta 🤞🏻😊

@Sunbird24 it looks great!! 5 days after too that's when I got twitchy 😂😂what symptoms?

General ropey feeling, peeing more often, heightened sense of smell and extra emotional… 🤦‍♀️

Fab news @Sunbird24 !! X

Oh fantastic @Sunbird24 let's hope this is the one 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@paintfairy I don't think it's guidance but I ate pink (but not rare) steak once I was out of the first trimester - I think the risk is about the possibility of food poisoning rather than the one that can cross into the placenta and affect baby (listeria?)

I genuinely feel like I've been hit by a bus this evening after the gym this week. Considering painkillers before bed!

@Sunbird24 God, you caved early! 🤣 I think though quite often it will show early. But the clinics make you wait, to avoid it being a chemical. Although there's also the complication of the trigger for people with fresh cycles. I thought making me wait until 13dp5dt was ludicrous! I was also peeing every 2 minutes from really on, but I thought it was just from the drugs/ bloating. I found it hard to know what was from what.
@Minster2012 stressing about staying alive. 🤣 I've got a headache now. Honestly. Worst day ever. I've decided I maybe need to start eating proper lunch.

@Shock123 excellent pizza story 🤣🤣🤣

@minster2012 what a random sounding supper. At least you've been, ticked the friendly box and can now make excuses to avoid all further ones 😂

@paintfairy we're both out at work during the day so need to tidy at night. Nothing extreme like but we don't have a dishwasher so things like that need to be done every night and with a 4year old the place constantly covered in crumbs and looks like a tornados hit so if you don't keep on top of it one day it's a disaster zone by the next.

@Franklydear I wonder if there's anyway of contacting the pcr company as does it not ask when you book a test have you tested positive in the last so many months? Maybe there's something at the testing end that takes that into account when declaring it positive or negative? 🤷‍♀️

@Kirky658 can't believe she's 16 weeks already! 😲😲😲

Keeping everything crossed for a sticky bean @Sunbird24 🤞

@DKDK123 I hate cleaning. No one is selling this to me! 🤣🤣

@paintfairy I'm a weirdo then because I genuinely love cleaning!

@Kirky658 just in the process of sorting out our main bedroom and then we can move back into it. When can you come and stay? 🤣🤣🤣 I think you might be here a while.....

Nah I hate cleaning @paintfairy - it's just a waste of my time. I do obviously do it because I prefer not to live in a pigsty but don't have very high standards. And I only invite people around that I know won't judge me!

Well girls, I'm not holding my breath...

10 dpo today

@Juno231 oh my holy hell 😭😭😭😭
That's cracking for 10dpo darling!!!!

@Juno231 what made you decide to test?
Oh my this is just so exciting. Obviously very tentative excitement but this looks GOOD! Xx
