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.

Happy new year ladies 🥂🌟 I hope this year kicks off a run of bfps!!🤞🏼

larrythelizard · 01/01/2022 11:22

Argh no @bez91 how annoying! Hopefully he keeps it to himself! We haven't done our daily tests, will depend if we actually meet people this afternoon, if we don't then I won't bother today.

Franklydear · 01/01/2022 12:05

We stayed awake, and then watched angry birds 2, I forgot to buy the grapes for midnight 😮, I was about to put the machine on @blackcurrantqueen, I recon most kids have withdraw syndrome in January when all the chocolate is off limits again
@Minster2012 that looks big, and you had two you say....
Only just got up, dtd I got for fun is fun, had to record my breast exam on the app and it’s showing fw as well, so...

Franklydear · 01/01/2022 12:09

@bez91 oh damm, hope is mild and you two stay clear, I think I will break the rule two, I have quite a bit
@larrythelizard we only test if going anywhere too, autism house we are quite prone to stay in
@Vil10 happy new year, lovely, your mum is right, save all you can but I would rather be sorted by the time Bebe comes, but that’s far away yet, you won’t end up in a manger

Franklydear · 01/01/2022 12:30

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4441432-To-want-my-money-back So much to unravel in this one

Minster2012 · 01/01/2022 13:05

Grapes for midnight @Franklydear what is this thing?

Oh no @bez91 hope you can avoid, there's so much around atm

I def don't think @Vil10 will end up in a manger 😂

@Franklydear oh my days! That post! I had to stop myself commenting that I soul of not be rebooking (or even booking in the first place to go) with such moronic family. If its positive she gets her money back and if negative then there's no issue and she could go. The rest of the drama is ridiculous. Clearly she doesn't want to go and I don't think I would be relying on her to go again either. Idiots.
Grapes? 🤔

Franklydear · 01/01/2022 14:08

@Minster2012 @paintfairy at midnight of New Year’s Eve, the whole country watches the clock, as here do with Big Ben, and to start the year, you must eat one grape with every bong, so 12, they do slow the clock down a little so people don’t choke, but I never manage, ds has sensory issues with grapes so he has smarties or similar, to the horror of his granddad who thinks I should force him to eat the grapes but I digress, ... anyhow, I forgot to buy the grapes so this year we did with Prosecco English style, and apple juice for ds

Minster2012 · 01/01/2022 15:53

@Franklydear tbh i can smash through an entire punnet of grapes in approx a minute and so can DS so I think that's a challenge I could have been down with, also like the sound of the prosecco, we were playing cards against humanity 😂

happy new year everyone! sorry I have not been great at staying up to date on this thread, but still around. hoping 2022 brings many more BFPs to the group! Star

paintfairy · 01/01/2022 17:32

@Minster2012 we played 'that's what she said', which is a similar thing. 🤣 Kind of somewhat less funny when you aren't drunk though.

larrythelizard · 01/01/2022 18:40

I'm amazed by the grapes thing @Franklydear - what's the Spanish equivalent of Big Ben called?

Franklydear · 01/01/2022 19:02

@larrythelizard the big national is la puerta del Sol, named after the square in Madrid, we watch the one from our regional, from the cathedral in our city, the bell is la Berenguela.

larrythelizard · 01/01/2022 19:33

Which did you watch last night @Franklydear? Your local one or Big Ben?

Franklydear · 01/01/2022 19:42

@larrythelizard with the magic of time zones, both!

LoveQ · 01/01/2022 19:56

Happy new year all, I'm sorry I have been one of them new passengers who has been real quiet.
We unfortunately suffered a bereavement in our family before Christmas so obviously focused myself on that.
It looks like I'm again out for this month too which is understandable as not much went on in the way of baby making.
Anyways hope you're all keeping well 💗

Minster2012 · 01/01/2022 20:04

@LoveQ sorry for your loss, and the cycle finished...let's hope it starts well for the new year 🤞🏻

@paintfairy ooo shall look that one up...ours was actually pretty funny even when I was sober...I actually got the most cards so I declared myself the funniest...we all collapsed into fits of laughter when my friend was too embarrassed to read out my entry for one where I had given her the card "my big pink f**khole" 😳

Def gonna go for the grapes next year...remind me @Franklydear 😂

LoveQ · 01/01/2022 20:15

@Minster2012 technically speaking af isn't due for another week but I've got my regular signs that she's on her way.

Thank you 💗

Minster2012 · 01/01/2022 20:34

Not due for another week there's still lots of Hope then @LoveQ don't count yourself out 🙌🏻

Happy new year ladies!!! Hope you all had a nice evening, whatever you did. We had a quiet one with 2 friends and some boardgames, but the new year hasn't been kind as I've woken up with a cold and a cough so my PCR is booked for the morning 🙄 the gift that keeps on giving.

@Minster2012 we played cards against humanity too and I was driving so sober too... So funny, but my prudish side really comes out playing it 🤣

Quick question, anyones cycles change after a miscarriage? Since my last miscarriage, my cycles are so long. They were always 32-37 days ish but they've been longer around 40-46 days. I'm currently on cd 30 and I've had ewcm today for the 1st time this cycle so I'm predicting another 40+day cycle. It's frustrating. I'm starting opk again next cycle. 🤷🏻‍♀️

pennysays · 01/01/2022 22:39

Hello all. I start the new year with, my bloody period! Had a sob on the loo this morning but am ok. Wonder if my squinter was a chemical?

@Sausage1990 I think lots of peoples cycles change after miscarriage and take a while together back to normal.

I’ve got blood tests and stuff next week in the run up to getting on clomid which is my 2022 goal.

Just to warn you, the years supply of folic acid I bought will run out this month and I might really lose my shit.

becarefuloutthere · 01/01/2022 22:46

Happy new year 🥳 I hope you all get your long awaited bfp's! Xx

Sausage1990 · 01/01/2022 23:12

@pennysays ohhh I'm sorry your period arrived. Sounds like the faint line may have been a chemical. If there was even a faint line then there was HCG. I'm sorry. Not the start to the new year you were hoping for.

I've just done a big reorder of my fertility supplements, opk and put my script in for my 5mg folic acid. Here we go again!!! X

Minster2012 · 02/01/2022 08:08

Morning!

@pennysays oh I'm sorry darling, probably was a chemical then if you got a line, I hate it when things like the years supply of folic acid happen, it's like a big kick in the teeth 🦷 big hugs hope you can get the clomid quickly

@Sausage1990 prudish side 😂😂I don't think I have one! My cycle def became longer after both the miscarriages, but it did seem to settle then but I've always had longer ones, ewcm though yay get on it girl here we go again high giving you right now 🤚🏻

Franklydear · 02/01/2022 11:09

@pennysays sorry on both sides, chemicals are the worst, having your hopes up a little, and I hate hate hate milestones, I send you vibes to start celebrating birthdays instead
@Minster2012 what you’re like, bad influence
@Sausage1990 my cycles are so irregular that I wouldn’t know, a couple of days ago I had the sipping out of you kind of ewcm, so we’ve been having fun as horny too, but I don’t dare hope
