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

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 👀

@InkyPaper could you double up on folic acid in the mean time? Btw next time remember to quote gdpr and how they don't have a legal right to keep your husband's data from him. Gosh what a bunch of idiots they all seem to be!

Catherinettc · 03/12/2021 20:51

Omfg!!!

Sitting thinking yo myself go's I haven't looked at the thread for ages I better catch up

Minster2012 · 03/12/2021 21:42

@Catherinettc I know everything 👀🤣so far I've watched 'castle for Christmas' then today 'last Christmas' I do actually need to watch one that was filmed at our friends farm, they have said it's shit however 😂. Mmmm munchies great shout!

Juno231 · 03/12/2021 21:48

@Catherinettc I hope you saw another OG got her bfp as well - @vil10 ! And @paintfairy ! Can't remember when I last saw you on here 🤣

Catherinettc · 03/12/2021 21:49

@Minster2012 Katie loves last Christmas and she was trying for that one again but I'm fed up with it 🤣🤣 it's good the 1st time but once u know the story u know it lol. When is ur gender scan? I'm thinking girl u know 🤔 no idea why lol xx

Minster2012 · 03/12/2021 22:47

Gender scan tomorrow @Catherinettc it's that witches cauldron that makes you say girl right!! And yessss @paintfairy too! Who is pretty quiet today you not dying @paintfairy are you?!

@pennysays that seems life a right pain in the bum. Have they said how long it might take? I definitely had patches of the "it'll be fine" and then patches of just crying 😭 you definitely aren't alone. Maybe stop following the influencer? We all know extremely fertile ppl & it's not nice to see, don't forget that Insta life can be very different to real life though, there's a lot of fakes around, it makes me chuckle when I know their life isn't all that ❤️

Catherinettc · 03/12/2021 23:26

@Juno231 I thought I tagged them 🤦‍♀️ still no good on here even after all this time 🤣🤣 I'm so happy for u all!! Sorry @Vil10 and @paintfairy 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ u know I love u all ❤ I still have baby brain, and yes it is a thing as u will find out soon enough 🤣🤣

@Minster2012 yip wee cauldron bubbling away here 🤣🤣 bet I'm wrong and end up looking like a tit 🤣🤣 xx

DKDK123 · 04/12/2021 01:02

@Juno231 hooray for digi result 🥳 hope the initial shock has worn off now and a bit of excitement is starting to creep in. How sweet of your OH tearing up 😢

@becarefuloutthere glad to hear your colleague and baby are OK, that's what happened with DS and he was taken out 5 weeks early. I was expecting a long NICU stay and he was only in about 3 days and we were home within the week - it seems scary when they're early but they amaze you with their resilience. @Franklydear 29 weeks for your friends baby 😲 so glad to hear they're fine, I was scared at 1 month early but 3 would definitely have you petrified!

@Shock123 I echo what the others say, blood test at the docs will be your best bet to see if hcg levels are rising. Given you had faint lines a few days ago, it's still only faint and you've been bleeding I'd sadly be leaning more towards residual hcg left over from a CP. However there are a small minority of people who just don't get a decent line till way past their periods due and are still pregnant so your gp would def be your best bet to let you know 100% either way what's going on. Hope you're in the latter category.

@InkyPaper you really are having no luck with incompetent admin at the moment! 🙈

@pennysays we've all definitely had the it'll never happen days, especially when you see other people popping them out left right and centre. Just gotta keep the faith that it'll be your turn one day.

Excited for your scan today @Minster2012, I'm guessing team blue 💙 What time's it at? I've a busy day ahead tomorrow but will need to pop on to find out what you're having and what you DSs reaction was.

kaylsd · 04/12/2021 06:33

Girls this is not a drill!!!!!!!

Help it's half 6 in a morning, my temp has gone up, my husband is at work, and I don't know what to do 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

feliznavidad2 · 04/12/2021 06:54

Eeee! @kaylsd take a deep breath. That's a good line.

Someone more experienced will be along shortly. (Definitely something in the water...) Xmas Grin

kaylsd · 04/12/2021 06:58

I know I was saying I wanted Tupperware of whatever they've had and I have my first IVF appointments in 2 week and I'm just laid in bed right now like 👀 i don't know what to do next I have only internet cheapies! I don't want to tell anyone or my DH yet so first people is MN @feliznavidad2 🥺

feliznavidad2 · 04/12/2021 07:02

@kaylsd 🤗 It's ok to feel shocked, I did and this isn't my first pregnancy and we'd been trying. Maybe make yourself a drink. And have a biscuit.

DKDK123 · 04/12/2021 07:10

@kaylsd, amazing! Another bfp before IVF, this bus seems to be the Christmas miracle bus indeed! 🥳 Now get to the shop get yourself some FR that's a good line for a cheapie so you should get a nice I really really believe it now line on FR.

Franklydear · 04/12/2021 07:11

Morning, ladies, @Catherinettc lovely to see you, unfortunately with moving fliggts cost, test and even if there wewe negative and no further isolation, doesn’t look possible, specially in the busy period we’re we would need to be in so many places, we are thinking we are going to aim for a longer period in a couple of months, but nothing firm yet
@Minster2012 good luck today, I am team healthy baby, I am going to knit rainbows anyway....
@kaylsd so happy for you, congrats
@Shock123 I second the doctors, unfortunately doesn’t look good

I am feeling rotten again, headache and terrible in myself, must rest more, smileys still flashing so need to master energy for that too

gcat16 · 04/12/2021 07:12

Congratulations @sunbird24 and @Juno231 🥳🎉 wow, there really is something in the water!! I'm pretty sure I've already said congrats to @paintfairy and @Vil10 but just in case I didn't - congratulations!

@kaylsd - there is definitely something there 👀 stay calm, breathe, and as @feliznavidad2 said - go and make yourself a hot drink and a snack haha. Then pop out and get some FRERs!!!

kaylsd · 04/12/2021 07:16

Thank you so much, I've just gone downstairs to do just that, and breathe 👀🥺 @feliznavidad2

@InkyPaper I'm not surprised!! I would've screamed too!! They're a joke!

@Catherinettc Thankyou so much!! Hope you and your family are well❤️

@Minster2012 good luck today lovely! I'm thinking girl💗

@kaylsd shut the fucking front door!!!!!! Ahhhhh!! Have you saved your fmu pot of piss?? Go and get some frer!!! That's definitely a line!!

@Franklydear sorry you're feeling so shit!!

@gcat16 thankyou x

bez91 · 04/12/2021 07:21

@InkyPaper argggh how frustrating! I thought it was prescription only too. The waiting around on hold is frustrating. I managed to have a shower, dry my hair and do my eyebrows in the time I was on hold to the doctors yesterday 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Franklydear sorry you're still feeling pants 😫 on the weekend too!

Wow @kaylsd what's going on! That's a good line for a cheapie for sure, how many DPO are you so you know?

blackcurrantqueen · 04/12/2021 07:28

@kaylsd GIRL OMG OMGOMFGFFFFFGGG

kaylsd · 04/12/2021 07:29

@DKDK123 thank you 🥺 I wonder if it’s a thing like @Juno231 soon as our bodies think right injection time it’s like naaaaaa not for me son! I don’t know what to think or feel right now, got some Frers coming on prime! Don’t know whether I should wait until tomorrow morning now or do it later?
@Franklydear I hope it’s a sticky one thank you 🥺🤞🏻
@Gcat16 @minster2012 @bez91 thank you I sound such a drama queen don’t I but I genuinely didn’t know what to do or feel (still don’t right now) as I’ve never seen a sniff of a second line on a HCG strip before, I’m due on tomorrow accordance to ovulation & my apps says in 2 days time but from symptoms I’d say I’m 13 dpo today with the BBT tracking and the EWCM
@vil10 I didn’t I chucked it down in a panic 🥺🤣 what’s the best time hold for a test without drinking much?

Panic orders 4 boxes of x2 frers on prime and still tempted to go to chemist this morning🙃
