🎄Is your turkey 🦃moister than an oyster?💦TTC bus 51

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.

@Juno231 I caught that thread about mixing meats/fish 😂 has the woman never had a paella, what would happen in Spain, we should ask Franklydear 🤦🏼‍♀️ I love tiramisu 😍

@Minster2012 lovely knockers, I'm a little bit jealous

@Somatronic ☹️ oh no! What a nightmare, you're really having it rough I'm so sorry it's so crappy for you right now. Hopefully there is a silver lining to living with the parents over Christmas that you can relax a little more.

Franklydear · 16/12/2021 07:37

@bez91 paella not a worry, just the usual some cheeses, pate, chorizo, but recommend cooking properly, like to not poison anyone, not just pregnant women...

Feel a bit more in the land of the living, I'll be skimming for a little longer

Cd 24 so awaiting af within a week I guess, DH asked when but I really don't know, he said that we cannot be trying for much longer, we'll talk after Xmas to make a final decision

Minster2012 · 16/12/2021 08:14

@sunflower25049 hey welcome are you joining us?! If so we need an embarrassing story for your ticket! It's natural to then be disappointed if you got your hopes up, and it would be good to then mean you are both up for TTC properly if it AF does come

See @Franklydear I survived my paella last week, we love a paella here, does this mean I can send on my extra sticks for you just for those last months of trying?

Have a fab Christmas @Manifestingbaby hope you get an answer on the scans and enjoy the time off xx

@bez91 I can take some off them & share them round?? DH said last night "Xxx was saying about your tits after you came to office, I did confirm they aren't just for fun" 😂

@Minster2012 let me get this af out of the way and the make a decision first, I can start your knitting now, so send me pics of anything you got your eye on for inspiration

Minster2012 · 16/12/2021 08:47

Oooo the crochet rabbit hole 🥰

larrythelizard · 16/12/2021 08:49

I love how we have a resident Spanish expert for any Spanish food questions @Franklydear perhaps we need to examine everyone else's areas of expertise to advise on.

@Minster2012 was a recruitment consultant once which is useful

Not sure what I can add to the party really!

Welcome @sunflower25049

Franklydear · 16/12/2021 08:54

@larrythelizard we all have our value, I’ve asked many questions on here, we have a dietitian, and teachers and other autism parents.... everyone helps at one time or another
@Minster2012 you can ask for anything then you’ll revive what I made...

paintfairy · 16/12/2021 11:46

@Minster2012 I've had tinnitus odd times before in my LP. I hate sounds so it bloody drives me batty. Google tells me it's a thing though in pregnancy but if I have it the whole time, I'm going to blow my head off. 🤣
Mr Minster clearly is luckier than Mr Paintfairy, who only gets them on special occasions (can count on one hand) and when I'm drunk. Which clearly now is going to be never! 🤣
@Manifestingbaby have a lovely Christmas! 🎄
@Franklydear I'm not sure what a crochet rabbit hole even is, but i can't wait to see it! You are very good at making things. My mum can knit well but she can't crochet.

InkyPaper · 16/12/2021 12:17

@Minster2012 I'll not lie, I'm a little annoyed that being under the 30 limit apparently isn't good enough, but if it'll help me get pregnant, I'm willing to forgo Christmas treats for a while. Loved your photos on insta 😂

@Juno231 Nope, not on any drugs or anything, my body just occasionally throws in a shorter cycle to keep me on my toes

@Manifestingbaby thanks lovely ❤️ hope you have a chilled out break

@Franklydear loving the crochet tote bag!!

@Somatronic the biggest of hugs for you ❤️ sounds like you're really going through it with everything at the moment

@Vil10 thanks! I'm cautiously excited 😂 hope all is well with you!

Minster2012 · 16/12/2021 13:30

Long as they aren't gonna kick you off for the 30 bmi thing @InkyPaper then it doesn't REALLY matter

Omg a drunken blow job could lead to puking on a dick @paintfairy 😂. I found some naughty but tasteful pics again this morning I'd taken the night with my best friend (as in she took I posed) the night before my wedding & sent to DH so as a treat he got another one through. "And here's how I USED to look!" 🤪

@Franklydear will get on it when chilling tonight. Still got lead taking to do as this afternoons activity

paintfairy · 16/12/2021 15:14

@InkyPaper as long as you are under 30 then they can't actually refuse or say anything really.
@Minster2012 I'm never sick when I'm drunk! And if I am that bad then I wouldn't be going anywhere near it, or indeed be upright. In fact- on my hen do was the most ill I've ever been. And trust me, had there been one, no penis would have been coming near me in any capacity. 🤣 I was sick on my new shoes and all round the nightclub (as well as over a friend) long before we got to the bed stage. 🤣🤣🤣 I'm all or nothing. 😁

Minster2012 · 16/12/2021 17:23

@paintfairy I meant more being sick cos drunk AND gagging perhaps. Sorry, filthy mind. But that's some impressive chundering 😂

OP posts:
paintfairy · 16/12/2021 19:19

@Minster2012 🤣 As someone who only does this on very special occasions, do you seriously think there's any chance that I'll be so enthusiastic that I'm gagging? 🤔🤣

Minster2012 · 16/12/2021 19:34

I'm laughing so hard there's risk of weeing @paintfairy 😂😂😂

Morning ladies, ⚠️TRIGGER WARNING!! ⚠️ just a little update from me, I had my baby girl on 10th December at 36 +3 weeks, I suddenly went into early labour and tbh i thought I was just winded not in labour 🤣 but after mine and baby's health being compromised they rushed me down for my emergency c section, unfortunately we didn't have a chance for the steroids for her lungs to work :( so she was rushed to scbu and is still in there, I'm home now which I'm really struggling with the separation but hopefully she'll be home by Christmas 🤞 but thankyou for the well wishes and congratulations you have sent on IG xxxx

Hope you are all keeping well i haven't missed too much?? Xx

Somatronic · 17/12/2021 07:58

Congratulations @Hopeful110 on your wonderful news. I hope your little girl is well and home for Christmas. Look after yourself xx

Juno231 · 17/12/2021 08:16

@Hopeful110 oh goodness another eventful delivery on here! I'm so glad you're well and congratulations but I do hope your little girl comes home asap!

Minster2012 · 17/12/2021 08:28

@Hopeful110 I shall say more congratulations and def got everything crossed she is at home for Christmas, you all look so happy though. How is DD?

@MrsBiddy how you finding TWW?

OP posts:
MrsBiddy · 17/12/2021 09:01

@Minster2012

I'm ok, my sister in law had her baby this morning 🙂 really happy for them but abit inside me is hoping it was me instead 🙁

I'm trying to focus as much as I can on eating better, even though I might not lose any weight until after Xmas as I bought crap to eat 😂 I've got to eat a quality street tin and some biscuits. Hopefully it will minimise the amount of damage over the festive period.

My OvuSense hasn't confirmed ovulation yet, although fertility friend has 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

The fertility team has asked me to have a blood test when I'm on my period. I have pre-booked a time when I think I'm due but so bloody difficult to predict 😑

Congrats @Hopeful110 hope you are reunited soon xxx

@hopeful10 congratulations! I hope your little girl has a speedy time in hospital so she can be home for Christmas 🤞🏻🤞🏻 I hope you have a speedy recovery too & take care of yourself xx
@mrsbiddy can you adopt the fuck it it’s Christmas attitude for everything for food related things? We went shopping yesterday and got lots of Christmas goodies in, starts in January as it always does for our house 🙈 hopefully your TWW is going smoothly your chart looks promising for ovulation :)

InkyPaper · 17/12/2021 09:26

@Hopeful110 congratulations!! Keeping everything crossed that you get to bring your little girl home soon 🤞❤️

@Minster2012 @paintfairy I'm so paranoid about them just turning round and saying no to IVF at any point I don't dare not try to lose weight 🤣

MrsBiddy · 17/12/2021 09:34

@kaylsd

Lol I am going to eat whatever I like but trying not to go crazy 😂 but yeah I'm hoping that all xmassy food is eaten by jan 1st!

Still don't truly understand fully if my chart looks good or bad. Each cycle looks different so can't compare. My chart resembles a staircase 😂

Franklydear · 17/12/2021 10:40

@Hopeful110 with all the good care you’ll be home in no time, congratulations!
@MrsBiddy I bought Xmas goodies but not excessive and what I know my boy will eat most off, and then dh announced he’s going to Lidl a couple of days before Xmas, 🤦🏼‍♀️ He’ll bring half the shop

paintfairy · 17/12/2021 11:11

@Hopeful110 Congratulations! 🎉
I have seen your photos. I do hope she's home in time for Christmas for you, it must be terrible being apart. 🤞
@InkyPaper its written in stone that the bmi is 30 for nhs patients (its actually 35 if you go privately). So they can't just make up their own rules. 🤣

@Minster2012 I hope you didn't wee?! 🤭
Another achievement for me this morning (I wonder if anyone else can manage this?!🤣). So we haven't dtd for 2 weeks. Not only do I not have much sex drive (I miss it) but I feel just too uncomfortable mostly. Certainly at night. I feel awful at night in fact. But I do miss the contact. So this morning i woke and felt OK. Doesn't take much to initiate anything around here.
Afterwards I checked my fitbit. And it was still saying that I've done zero minutes of exercise today! 🤣🤣🤣 Wtaf? I would like to say it was a one off but I can't even guarantee that. 😁😁😁 My poor DH.
