Wow that last bus was an amazing bumper BFP filled bus where we were all crying and screaming for joy as lots of our lovely passengers got their BFPs…🙌🏻we are having an ADVENT CALENDAR of a BFP each day! 🥰❤️

There’s still some ppl lingering on this bus so that’s it, I’m calling time, all the rest of you are due off this bus with your 2 lines please 🤞🏻

This is the bus where we’ve got lots of things going on, bumps, rainbows 🌈, ivf, and now lots more miracle BFPs before ivf! Maybe we should issue passengers with an ivf referral on your way in too to help spur those eggs & sperm into action!

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.

@Vil10 sorry, I forgot you were away, your pictures look lovely, hope the dogs were ok, have fun, I was just grumpy, dh is fine, getting on with work again, I am not so good, off work for a bit longer, which they are being shitty about, but nothing they can do I have a sick note, just relaxing and being bored watching shit in Netflix, read back you’ll have a laugh

Minster2012 · 10/12/2021 09:26

Hmmmm strange in the FRER but I still believe yesterday was correct and maybe you are one who gets a better line later

Glad you are having a good time @Vil10

Yeah good point @Juno231 EDD to check those things

I'm enjoying your pics @Vil10 - it looks lush!

I've had another look at this mornings test and it actually isn't that different to yesterday. So think I'm still in. Will wait until tomorrow to test again instead of pissing liberally on the vast variety of piss sticks I have in my cupboard.

Lexber · 10/12/2021 09:48

Is it Father Christmas is Back on Netflix @Minster2012 ?? I watched it the other day and it was cheesy but we enjoyed it lol

DKDK123 · 10/12/2021 10:17

@Minster2012 I was thinking of the same Chris Evans as you and thinking WTF, he is not someone I want to see naked!? 🤣🤣 @Franklydear so glad that's cleared up, I was beginning to seriously question your taste 😂

Minster2012 · 10/12/2021 10:33

@Lexber yes that's the one! They filmed it at their farm all through lockdown, each person & staff had to had their own static caravan due to Covid & cleaned everyday, their outside toilets were cleaned by someone after each use they were like "it's never looked so spotless" 😂

I have a cheat banana bread in the oven, I put some bananas in a vanilla sponge mixed, and of to the oven, let’s see what comes out, but I really couldn’t bake the real thing, oxygen gone up to 97, bit up and down

Franklydear · 10/12/2021 13:44

I know you are all sitting on the edge of your seats, it look ok, it’s cooling, it’s not needed for a couple of hours, hopefully it will taste ok, I am gonna call it banana cake cos it doesn’t look like banana bread

Franklydear · 10/12/2021 13:46

Today’s cheesy movie, last Christmas, I don’t think there’s naked avengers in this one, or radio presenters for that matter

polkadotpixie · 10/12/2021 14:39

Congratulations @larrythelizard! What a month for BFPs, we're going to run out of non-pregnant passengers before we run out of days of advent at this rate 😂

JuniperAndTonic · 10/12/2021 15:33

Just checking in so I don’t lose track of the bus! Already had a lot to catch up with, phew!

I definitely need to watch more Christmas films! I haven’t seen any of the ones mentioned! I did watch Love Actually the other day, y got me in a festive mood 🎄

CD10 today, have started obsessively doing OPKs, I’m going away for the weekend and packed OPKs eventhough DH won’t be with me so if I do get a peak while I’m away it’s not like I can do anything about it but still!

larrythelizard · 10/12/2021 16:03

I think I'd like your banana cake more than banana bread @Franklydear as I'm not really a banana fan! Glad your oxygen level is back up! X

Franklydear · 10/12/2021 16:10

@larrythelizard my banana cake turned out alright, even if out of a box, and much more light, shuttle?, than banana bread, I slept all the morning away again and feel much better

larrythelizard · 10/12/2021 16:16

That's good, clearly taking it easy is the answer @Franklydear!

Minster2012 · 10/12/2021 17:59

What's the difference between banana 🍌 bread & cake? Am I being thick?

Love a bit of lice actually @JuniperAndTonic, I'd also take OPKs with me if going away without DH so I can have more knowledge for the cycle after too?

@polkadotpixie that's the plan!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻I'm not driving this bus forever

Franklydear · 10/12/2021 18:16

@Minster2012 for me the texture, banana bread is sticky and dense, banana cake is just flavoured sponge

Franklydear · 10/12/2021 18:17

But I should say banana and vanilla cake, as I used premixed vanilla sponge

Ltay2 · 11/12/2021 07:13

@Vil10 I've just found you on insta via @Minster2012 so I've requested to follow hope you don't mind ❤️❤️

Minster2012 · 11/12/2021 09:22

@Franklydear I think they both sound delicious

Quiet here today, no more advent BFPs? How you getting on @LoveQ?

We have one a seaside cottage for last night & tonight for our anniversary tomorrow, and to bring DS on the Santa express 🎄🎅🏻

Franklydear · 11/12/2021 09:30

I just woke up, slept 12 hours straight, and enjoying the silence before the chaos of a full house today

Juno231 · 11/12/2021 09:34

@Franklydear I'm enjoying your marathon sleeps! Nice of DH and DS to stay quiet enough to make it happen!

@Minster2012 you won it? Seaside cottage sounds very romantic and cosy this time of the year, I hope you enjoy it 🥰

TMI but I'm annoyed I'm not even 5 weeks pregnant and already have a fissure lol. Fair bit of blood every time I need to 💩

@Juno231 yes, I am quite taken with it, ds occasionally wakes me but they really do try not to, and considering that dh was ill himself and only back in an stressful job for a few days too
@Minster2012 cottage sounds fabulous
@clolo I think we’ll stick with it, just as nice and much easier to make, less faff around, and ds like it just as well, somebody else makes him actual banana bread regularly, he won’t be deprived, she gave me the recipe to make at home, but I can’t quite master it, not surprisingly as I don’t bake

paintfairy · 11/12/2021 11:37

@Franklydear I'm jealous of your sleep. I wish I could sleep! I agree that banana cake sounds better than banana bread. I'm not a banana fan but I am a cake fan.

Chris Evans naked? Who would want to see that? 🤣 Of all the people, I could think of better options. Having said that I don't really like naked men. Makes me feel 🤢🤣

@Minster2012 I think you are being ambitious demanding more bfps now. 🤣 The bus has really been making an effort of late. Be nice if some people managed one over Christmas though!

LoveQ · 11/12/2021 11:52

@Minster2012 I'm on CD 26 and if my sore breasts have been because of pms then my period should be due today, flo app is saying 14th as my last cycle was 28 days, still testing using the boots straps and still BFN 🤷🏻‍♀️
I'm finding it so confusing as I've had constant nauseous or sore breast since 3rd and last night had some pulling feeling in my pelvis area but all bfn
