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.

Should I take my digital test with the weeks on it?

Franklydear · 11/12/2021 12:13

@LoveQ I wouldn’t until you have a line in something else

Minster2012 · 11/12/2021 13:01

Sorry bad signal here, no didn't win it @Juno231 I think it was meant to say "we've come" to a seaside cottage! Bloody pregnancy is really not great for the 💩 I'm afraid

@Franklydear also jealous of your sleeps but not if you are ill though I guess

@paintfairy I like to be ambitious!! I want everyone to bugger off this bus with their BFPs 😂

@LoveQ yeah I agree with @Franklydear I wouldn't unless there was a line elsewhere 🤞🏻

@juniperandtonic hopefully your peak is not too far away and you can enjoy the baby dancing part, it’s the best bit of course!
@franklydear reading about your banana cake is making me want to make one myself, used to be my favourite when I was little! Not the best baker though, last time I tried to bake a cake it turned out like a brick 😬😬🙃
@minster2012 enjoy your cottage stay for your anniversary, happy anniversary today guys 🥰
@juno231 💩 are the devil for me also right now, TMI looks like a science from Charlie and chocolate factorys river coming out of my bottom every time I go 😳
@paintfairy I’m sure you’ll have a strange celebrity crush! I used to have one as a teen to Wayne Rooney… god help me back then, I don’t anymore he hasn’t aged well😬😬😬
@loveq I agree with those below, I’d avoid digital until other lines appear, fingers crossed it does soon!

Happy weekend ladies can sorry for quiet posts throughout the week had my first week in my new post and loved it! ✨

LoveQ · 11/12/2021 14:02

@Franklydear @Minster2012 @kaylsd good job I never wasted it as I've started spotting now xx

Franklydear · 11/12/2021 14:18

@LoveQ oh damm, hugs
@kaylsd it's not the radio presenter, it's the captain America avenger, not so weird @paintfairy

larrythelizard · 11/12/2021 16:02

😂😂😂 I'm loving how much 💩 chat there is of late!

I sort of know what you mean @paintfairy, semi naked would be my preference!

Pleased you had a lovely first week @kaylsd

Sounds a fab weekend @Minster2012, I bet the Santa train is super exciting for X!

Oh @LoveQ that's no good, better not to have wasted a test though.

Sounds like the sleep of dreams @Franklydear, both DH and I slept really poorly last night so are tired today.

We ditched DS earlier though and have just been enjoying the sofa all afternoon, out later but a quiet one and loving it this afternoon!

Minster2012 · 11/12/2021 18:21

Oooo a DS free day @larrythelizard lovely!! And yes the Santa train was good but VERY hot like being in a horrible sweaty old sauna with condensation that feral child was trying to lick off the window 😬

@LoveQ 😣😣😣

Anniversary tomorrow @kaylsd we ended up with 12th of the 12th so least it's easy to remember 🤣

OP posts:
Juno231 · 11/12/2021 18:30

@Franklydear I've taken your lead and had a nap on the sofa, much needed today!

@larrythelizard ooh a DS free day!! How lovely 🥰

Waiting for Chinese to arrive - OH didn't think I should cook as I'm tired today and who am I to disagree with that 😅

@Vil10 a bit better, thanks, work are being well, arseholes really, I haven’t managed to talk to management since my positive lft, I sent my sick note in, I am refusing to explain myself to colleagues so there’s 0 communication, so I’ll do what I see best and then I’ll have some demands when I come back, keeping union rep up to date on everything just in case I need it

Minster2012 · 11/12/2021 20:22

I tell you what @Juno231 sometimes your DH wasn't always as attentive when you needed (or just wanted?) to DTD but he's bloody attentive now you are pregnant!! I'm loving it (& sending DH daggers as he lays out on the floor eating chocolate!)

OP posts:
Juno231 · 11/12/2021 20:42

@vil10 I saw someone let you know on here that they'd add you on insta but I can't remember who that was

@Minster2012 right? He's been pretty crap throughout TTC but it's like a switch finally flipped. Yesterday he was asking me if we need to start looking at nurseries next trimester and he keeps double checking if I'm really sure I'm okay to have spicy food when pregnant 😅

I didn't mention it on here but yday OH also made sure the bar at the restaurant we were at with the in laws knew to serve me just tonic whenever I ordered a g&t 🥰

Minster2012 · 11/12/2021 20:57

I think it's fab @Juno231 & he'll be one hell of a dad then, god I just had a fish stew in the pub which had a load of chilli in it & I was just in a t shirt & then DH went "is it spicy darling as you are seating under your eyes?"

@Franklydear you don't need to explain yourself to colleagues it should be your manager. And he's an arse so tough titties on him

@Vil10 seeeee time is flying

OP posts:
Minster2012 · 11/12/2021 21:04

Sweating under my eyes. Not seating ffs @Juno231

OP posts:
larrythelizard · 11/12/2021 22:03

Ah bless @Juno231 DH sounds like he's really stepped up!

Not sure about a sweaty Santa @Minster2012 😂

I've been for tapas tonight @Franklydear, found myself wondering if you would approve whilst tucking in!

DH and I have been debating an early scan pre-Christmas as there's no way of not telling his parents as we're spending the day with them and I'm a bit of a wino. I'd be 6+3 based on LMP but knowing I ovulated late I'm erring towards not worth it

Minster2012 · 12/12/2021 08:15

@larrythelizard 6+3 but then potential for later is a bit squeaky bum time I think, my scan at 6+1 was the one they said was unviable then 2 days later was ok so I think if there's danger of it being later it could worry you more

OP posts:
larrythelizard · 12/12/2021 08:24

Yeah I think that's the conclusion I came to overnight @Minster2012 particularly given that I think I ovulated a week later than they'd expect me to!

Juno231 · 12/12/2021 08:33

@larrythelizard I was considering the same as I'm flying out on the 23rd and would be 6+3 then but decided to give it a miss. I'll still tell my parents on Christmas Eve (our main Christmas celebration) though as I won't really have an opportunity to tell them in person otherwise. Per my obsessive checking of datayze.com/miscarriage-reassurer I'll be 89% likely not to miscarry at that point so the odds are in my favour 🤷.

@Minster2012 sweaty eyes 🤣. What was it, a korma? 😜 (OH legitimately has complained about a korma being too spicy for him before...)

I'm trying to do my meal plan for the week but my brain isn't functioning and I can't think of anything 🙄

Juno231 · 12/12/2021 08:40

Ok crisis averted, got 4 dinners sorted, that's enough for now.

Minster2012 · 12/12/2021 09:36

That's more than enough @Juno231, is DH cooking them all? It was a fish stew last night but had A LOT of chilli 🌶 in it 😂it's not sat well I'm afraid 😬

@larrythelizard I think it's wise, don't worry yourself

OP posts:
paintfairy · 12/12/2021 10:30

@kaylsd yeah, Johnny Depp on the new Sauvage advert, with the wolves. That's literally it. And I'm not sure what that says about me?! 🤔🤣
@larrythelizard yeah- definitely waist up only! No one needs to see that shit. 😆
@Minster2012 oh dear to the chilli 🌶

kaylsd · 12/12/2021 10:44

@Franklydear deffo not weird then! Didn't realise they shared the same names 🙈
@minster2012 that’s handy thinking for the date! Happy anniversary again guys ✨💕 it’s kinda why me and DH wanted to get married in 2020 so he could remember how many years we’ve been married 🤣🤣🤣
@larrythelizard I've got a early scan booked on NYE it could either make the best new year surprise or go off to a bad start, let’s hope it’s the first one! Have you booked one yet or leaving it a little bit longer?
@paintfairy they aren’t bad choices them hunny! Every time I see that advert it makes me want to say sausage 🙈

larrythelizard · 12/12/2021 11:22

I have not seen this Johnny Depp sausage advert @paintfairy, I am intrigued!

@Juno231 allegedly I'd be at the same as you on the 23rd but given that I know I ovulated later it's even less likely to see anything - going to wait until first/second week of Jan, not booking anything until I get to 6weeks LMP.

That's a cool date @kaylsd - I found the 8w scan pics of what is now DS last night and it was funny to look at that and then him!

LoveQ · 12/12/2021 11:53

Sorry for tmi but my body is being weird as! So I called it spotting yesterday but i would say its more like discharge and its not red its like a odd colour and period still hasn't arrived? Anyone have any thoughts ... again I am sorry
