🎄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.

@Franklydear 😂😂you could def be grooming us to feed your sadistic tendencies. I shall challenge DH too as he loves things like that, on his boys night on Boxing Day I later found out they had got back to parents (where all sleeping) and started playing silly drunken challenges...my DH ate a whole orange 🍊 (peel and all) in 30seconds, then a whole Camembert...& was promptly sick. Honestly we are heading upto 40 & they are still doing these stupid things 🤪no wonder I only actually heard about his phone getting run over to start with, these nuggets come out in the following days 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Franklydear omg that post. I thought it was going to be a woman being ridiculous about a man being in the vicinity of an ex. 🤣 Why would you even need to ask this on a forum? No love, clearly no one would put up with this sh*t and its not normal at all! 🤦‍♀️

Thank you @Minster2012. Will take a look at those and await others :)

@Minster2012 definitely the challenge for your dh, he would get on with my brothers, maybe let him do it first
@paintfairy I think on line dating has screwed the whole process, the things I hear from the young ones, but what do I know? I only dated on my teens and not for long....

@user1019273703 just low count? Or are other elements not ideal either? I think some people overlook really basic things that can easily be sorted. Is he getting rid of it regularly, laptops on knees, tight underwear, hot baths, diet, alcohol, caffeine, soya intake (protein shakes). If all of that seems ok then you can try a supplement but it hinges on how much you want to spend. Some cost a lot! It also depends whether you can get a retest to see if there's improvement. You wouldn't want to be using one like impryl or proxeed, at their prices, for 18 months to realise that it is making zero difference. You might cry. 🤣 Mine just used wellman conception but our issues were borderline (we also ended up needing ivf anyway).
@Franklydear I'm not sure how old she is. Younger people certainly seem more accepting of idiots. And with Internet dating you do find some crackpots. I am super picky maybe, but I went on over 40 Internet dates! And most were 1 time only things. A few of the people were normal but...... 🤣 DH didn't end up coming via that method but he had previously Internet dated too and his ex from there was a loon. He was with her 3.5 years and I was like- how on earth did you even not run a mile when stuff came to light? People. 🤦‍♀️ Maybe you feel there's no one left? So anyone will do. Ok no one is perfect but you can overlook daft things. Extra families, not so much..... 🤣

@user1019273703 let me know if you'd like them posting on, we have sent a few TTC aids around this thread to help others 😂

@paintfairy @Franklydear that thread is terrible, he must be married to those other women how could she stand that situation?? I've said before on my blog that my DH was my second internet date, whereas he was a bit further in...maybe I settled too soon 😂🤣

I had my 20 week scan this morning, all looking good, all limbs/organs correct which is a relief...they also say girl so can maybe keep the girlie bits I've got on the way with my maternity stuff😂it's starting to feel real now 🌈pics on Insta. I truly hope everyone here gets their bumps soon 🤞🏻

@Minster2012 we will order some thank you

@paintfairy as far as aware low sperm count. He had tests a few years ago (when we weren't together) and we could look at a re-test. Should we need IVF some sperm is already frozen. Dont wear tight boxers etc, hardly drinks alcohol, we are in middle of starting an overhaul of our diet, caffeine would be only problem that we can think of. Its early days yet. Thank you for taking your time to advise appreciate it.

@user1019273703 I wouldn’t go by sperm analysis from a few years ago, it could be completely different now, but good shot on having some frozen
@Minster2012 love the scan pics and glad everything is ok, also relieved is still a girl, it’ll make sense at some point

@user1019273703 I agree with @Franklydear - we had several done over the course a last year (7 in fact) and no two were ever the same!

@paintfairy thank you. Will certainly have a look in to a re-test. Out of interest has this been done through your GP? Think we will be told to
Keep trying for a while yet before further tests anyway.

@user1019273703 the first one was through the GP (we'd been trying a year by then) and the rest were through the hospital/ivf clinic.
But if you think there's already an issue then its probably worth getting a private one, so as not to pointlessly waste time. Or push the GP for it.

@user1019273703 completely agree with the others on getting new tests I was told by our ivf clinic that sperm quality tends to be denoted from 3 months prior to it apparently. We are big fans of pushing the doctors 😂

@Minster2012 great. Will get pushing the GP then!

@user1019273703 we used Impryl for my dh's sperm issues, after trying for 18 months we got pregnant after one box of taking it despite my pcos as well. May be coincidence but who knows 🤷🏼‍♀️ worth trying? You can just buy it online x

@Minster2012 congratulations on the scan. So lovely that it’s a baby girl too. We are trying for our first.

I also met my DH after online dating for a few months… had a couple of strange dates before him!

@BellatrixK thank you so much, it's such a surreal feeling having had losses & been through ivf 3 more times then to have a natural pregnancy where I've felt fine all the way through hasn't made it feel real tbh. We have a son who was carried by my best friend as a surrogate for us as I was on years of chemo so it's all new to me weirdly I'm not a first time mum but I am 😂. We are very open to hearing stories of disaster our dates, my first one turned up 45 mins late & I was annoyed he'd then spotted me wandering the market as I had decided it was a no go by that point. The fact he then was a foot shorter than me & much less good looking in person didn't help 😂

I have finished training DH, he went to the shop today, and also pick up a ser of organising baskets, as they were on offer, very good offer really

@Franklydear when do you start doing master classes for training other DHs?

@Minster2012 this time next year, I'll be rich, you'll see! Call me dell girl

I noticed my typo, a set of basket, those nesting inside each other, one is the particular size I've been looking for a while

Hello everyone! I was summoned by low sperm advice 😂 welcome @user1019273703! My DH had two Brazil nuts a day, the only thing he changed, and the difference between his SA was pretty amazing, other people's mileage may vary of course 😊 I second the others: getting another SA to see where things are at now is probably the way to go.

@pennysays sorry about the chemical and AF ❤️ ❤️

@Franklydear that thread is pure madness! 🙈

@BellatrixK welcome to the bus!

@Franklydear long as you don't forget us when you are rich!!

So where's everyone at in their cycles then,

@Sausage1990 you had ewcm the other day, are you actively TTC this month so in TWW?

@BellatrixK @user1019273703 @dmb91 @MrsBiddy where you at with your cycles?

@pennysays at the beginning, @InkyPaper doing the ivf drugs,

Where are the others at?

@polkadotpixie, @chiatta @Hann91 @LoveQ @Somatronic are you still with us? Would love a catch up

@Minster2012 coming towards the end of current cycle. Am due AF on saturday. Feel like I am already getting symptoms but we shall see.

@Minster2012 I'm still here! Just on CD6 so nothing much happening at the minute although I do have thrush so hoping that's gone by fertile week 😩 Think I've eaten too much sugar over Christmas

Lovely to see some new passengers on the bus @user1019273703 & @BellatrixK 😊
