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

[Minster2012]

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.

@Hopeful110 congratulations 🎉 I'm glad you're both doing well and hope you'll be reunited in time for Christmas! Xx

@MrsBiddy it's always so hard when ppl you know are due & wish it was you. My SIL is now overdue & from my BFP in April I was due Xmas day (but ended in my) so that hurts. We know the pain, it's good FF has confirmed ovulation though? @Juno231 is the graph Queen, I'm not sure how ovusense works

@InkyPaper yeah that also makes sense, damn them!!

@paintfairy join the not a lot of sex club! It's very select round here 😂we are kinda at about once a week now we've been given the all clear but both of us knackered. I'm pretty sure if we wore fitbits it would say similar. I didn't wee, on that occasion. I've been leaf raking in the garden a bit each day & there's been lots of wild wees 😂

I'm sure she's getting the best of care @Hopeful110 and she'll be home soon, must be hard leaving her behind and going home

I have a very drunken DH after his work's do. There is a bowl for any sickness and I've warned him if he doesn't puke in the bowl wherever it ends up he'll be licking it off.

Congratulations @Hopeful110 really hope she's back home for Christmas for you all ❤️

Bit annoying on the Fitbit @paintfairy all that effort for 0 minutes of exercise 😆

Thankyou everyone! The good news is she was discharged tonight after 7 days in scbu! We are so chuffed to finally have her home, and @Minster2012 dd is doing well, as expected she has turnt into mother hen haha and wanting to feed her and cuddle her lol. Now for the settling in and finding our feet so forgive me if I miss anyone's messages over the next few days but thankyou it's very much appreciated and I can finally look forward to Christmas now haha. Lots of love to you all Xxx

Amazing news she's home, what a Christmas present for you indeed @Hopeful110! Congratulations and enjoy all the baby snuggles 🥰

🤣🤣🤣 excellent threat @Minster2012!

@Hopeful110 amazing news so pleased, enjoy your Christmas as a 4 🎄🥰

He wasn't sick @larrythelizard I left him sleeping it off downstairs under a blanket & he made it upstairs to bed before midnight. He's fine today, but fuzzy but fine so all good

Urrrrr this has just come up on my Facebook. Any ideas ladies???? I'm loathed to click into it 😂

Erm no @Minster2012 what on earth is it?! I wouldn't be clicking on that either!

@Minster2012 looks like something Gwyneth Paltrow would be peddling 😆. Yay for no puke! I'm impressed

@Hopeful110 oh wow that's great news! Enjoy Christmas as a family of four ♥️

Gwyneth Paltrow 😂😂😂@Juno231
surely it's not organic enough for her 😂

Quite tempted to click. Mustn't!!

@Hopeful110 good, home for Xmas and a superb helper
@Minster2012 glad dh is not too bad, and that looks like a hairdryer on fire, not sure why would you put it there, don’t click
@Juno231 I don’t normally listen to her, but, really?

Couldn’t sleep last night, I think my body clock is messed up, ds had a job trying to get me up this morning, luckily as far as he has his iPad he’s happy, so....

@bez91 clearly my effort was very poor. 🤭
@Hopeful110 that's fantastic news! 🥳
@Minster2012 what on earth?! 🤣 I have no idea what that is.

DH announced (in a cursing manner) that he's bought bucks fizz for Christmas day. Forgetting I can't drink. 🙄🤣 Men. He's also spent several hours trying to put up a curtain pole today, and I'm still not sure it's done. How long should it possibly take?! We've got ridiculous lintels that you can't drill thorough. 🤦‍♀️ I still feel like I'm dying. I'm completely useless at the moment and do nothing but mope about because I feel shit.

Maybe DH really fancied some Buck's Fizz @paintfairy?! I keep saying being completely useless is fine, many ppl are completely useless and NOT growing a human.

Maybe all those days of luxurious long sleep has set you off kilter @Franklydear

So I def won't be going for the fanny hairdryer then, fair enough!

@paintfairy my DH put up a curtain pole on Friday night and my God the language out of him was something else 😳 I guess it's harder than it looks!

@franklydear you're bound to be fatigued after your illness. Hope you're all doing OK.

I got a ton of endocrine bloods done last week. My endocrinologist did ones for rheumatoid arthritis, coeliac disease, inflammation markers, lupus and loads of other things which all came back normal thank God. My thyroid antibodies were batshit crazy but we expect that.

Anyway she told me to try to get them done on day 21 and of course I didn't get them done till day 26, but my progesterone came back at 58. That's good isn't it? She also did FSH and LH but I don't understand the ranges for those tests so I dunno if they're normal. Prolactin is just about in the normal range but is almost too high, which apparently can be caused by hypothyroidism so makes sense.

Anyway I'm delighted that I'm ovulating on my own! It's my first time ever to test positive for ovulation when I'm not being stimulated. Hopefully not just because I was on letrozole the last three months, she did mention something about letrozole helping even after you stop taking it.

Oh yes @Somatronic that sounds like a really good progesterone number!

Shame, you could have put a fanny hairdryer on your list for Xmas @Minster2012 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Somatronic that all sounds great! 58 is excellent 🎉. Was the LH and FSH done on CD26 as well cause if so I'd just ignore those results! They need to be taken at the start of the cycle to mean anything.

Hello all! Does anyone want to join me in OPK woes over here? I'm on day 4 of BLAZING POSITIVES. Qu'est que f**k?

Seemed to drop yesterday and thought my temp was rising, but has gone back down this morning. Sore boobs and cramping. CD46.

So sick of getting piss on my hand.

Enormous sigh

P.S Assuming fanny hair drier is new way of delivering sperm and we'll all be trying it by January.

@Franklydear pirate knitting! Amazing! So talented.

@MrsBiddy good temp curve this week, you should be pleased.

@Hopeful110 So pleased for you!

@Somatronic sending love. I feel your expensive building works pain.

@Minster2012 you know your dh would buy you that, deffo out of sync, need to recalibrate @Somatronic yeah, I am just impatient, I’ll have to start sleeping more normally to rejoin society in the new year, doing much better, ds friend mum, invited him for a sleep over, to give me a break, so Chinese and movie night
@pennysays thanks, I am not a conventional knitter, use to drive the old ladies in my circle crazy, I don’t use pattern, I knitt whatever comes out of my mind, sometimes works

@Juno231 ah good to know re other hormone tests. I figured they weren't important on day 21/26.

@pennysays that's frustrating on the tests. I don't test for anything anymore - don't use OPKs or pregnancy tests and it's liberating!

@Somatronic they make diy look so easy on tv! 🤣 Progesterone level is good. As @Juno231 says, if they didn't do lh and fsh on days 2-5 then its meaningless really anyway.
@Minster2012 we usually have bucks fizz. I don't drink wine. But he forgot I can't have it!

@pennysays

Thank you x I'm doubtful this month we be successful as only dtd once around ovulation 😑I know it only takes one but still doubtful

I totally understand about the pissy hand problems! Maybe we can start a new abbreviation PHP lol

Chart update:

My OvuSense has confirmed ovulation apparently I'm 5dpo and fertility friend is say 7dpo. I think I'll stick to OvuSense and say I'm 5dpo.

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend, I'm going to brave Christmas wrapping (I have a lot of nieces and nephews 🙄😂)

Xxx

@Somatronic that's absolutely excellent!! 58 is fantastic! Yessss for ovulation that's awesome!

@pennysays well is a fanny hairdryer sends the swimmers to where they need to be quicker I'm all for it! Pissy hand not great neither is 4 days of blazings & no confirmation?? Can you post a pic?

I worry for knitting coming straight out of your head @Franklydear & I bet DH would!

@Manifestingbaby whoop whoop for 2 confirmed ovulations, albeit on different days, waiting game over Xmas! I need to check I've got the actual presents I need 😫
