🎄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.

@InkyPaper where are you at now with everything? I know you said you were starting drugs NYE was it? How long before you go to the clinic?

@paintfairy I've started the Norethisterone, which I'm on for another couple of weeks, then once they stop and AF starts the big guns will be coming out! Not sure how I feel about the injections but it's all for a good cause!

@InkyPaper ah OK! You are doing completely different to me so I didn't know how it worked. I found the stim injections OK to be honest and it felt like the time went pretty fast. It was the downreg injections before that dragged on forever. Because once you start going for scans there are never more than a couple of days without something happening, so it all seems to feel productive. Exciting!

@Minster2012 still no sign of AF 6 months post implant removal. Waiting for a call back from GP this morning to see what can be done. Hoping for investigations into pcos. Lost half a stone before Christmas but have about another stone to lose to get bmi under 30 so hoping I can get a 12 week slimming world referral too.

@dmb91 wow amazing progress! Crap that AF hasn't shown yet though. I hope the GP is helpful - let us know what they say!

I'm hating being back at work - why can't I just win the euromilllions??

@Juno231 because its my turn first! 🤣 Although, it would help if I bought a ticket..... 🤭

@Minster2012 congrats on the successful scan! My sister's is today. She's telling us boy or girl tomorrow, can't wait! Will check out Insta later.
@Juno231 I feel the same as you, only one month to go n then mat leave. Hurrah!!

Thank you @becarefuloutthere how exciting for your sister ❤️

Oh yes @Juno231 if we could all win the euro millions that would be the end of our troubles! Under 5 hours til your scan! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@InkyPaper that's what I had to do for a lot of my ivf, you get totally used to the injections & all in a good cause! Have you tried to do the timeline maths for egg collection/transfer etc?

@dmb91 that's absolutely brilliant on the weight loss well done you should be so proud & how was the gp call? Hopefully they can do something, 6 months is ridiculous

@polkadotpixie does too much sugar give you thrush, if so I'm screwed 😂😂hoping it goes for FW, how long do your cycles tend to be?

@user1019273703 oooo so you are into what we call the spiky end of the TWW here's hoping 🤞🏻

I'm sat in hospital waiting for my consultant appointment which was meant to be 1.30pm. Humph 🤨

Hey, saw the tag. Yes low sperm count for us but sorry not in a position to advise as anything tried had very little impact and second SA was still poor.

Thank you so much for the welcome everyone.

I’m also back at work today and I did my first ever whole staff training session (I’m a teacher), which I was really nervous about. Students back in tomorrow, so I’d also like to claim a euro millions win! @Juno231 and @paintfairy

I think I ovulated yesterday, but my cycles have been a bit wonky since the October loss and I’ve not used OPKs as they were stressing me out! Just keeping on DTD this week in case I ovulate later. I did have my booster at the beginning of this cycle, so that might delay things?

It’s really interesting hearing about the IVF and everyone’s history. @Minster2012 your story is fascinating, what a journey to get your DS!

Have you heard from your sister yet @becarefuloutthere?

@dmb91 that’s amazing on the weight loss! Congratulations. Hopefully something can be done to help your cycles?

@Manifestingbaby thanks for reply

@Minster2012 I tried to do the maths but then my brain broke a bit 😂 I think collection day will be at the very end of Jan maybe?! Not 100% sure 😂 did your consultant turn up in the end??

@becarefuloutthere hope your sister's scan went well!

@paintfairy I'm excited for the injections to start in that sense just because it feels like we'll be doing something, more than taking a tablet morning and evening does

@InkyPaper that's probably preferable to the buserelin! 🤣 I think I'd prefer tablets. Do you start stims a few days after AF comes?

No problem @user.... welcome to the bus if I didn't say it already. Not been on much the last couple of days

First day back at work since November, I can confirm they are all still assholes, but I've been ok but tired, quite pleased with it

@BellatrixK I think it's gonna be really tough again for teachers, well for all I guess, with so many ppl off it's so hard, def just keep DTD to try cover it. Thank you! Yeah wonder baby DS then this one's been pretty tough going too 😜how wonky have your cycles been since MC? A bit off or massively so?

Honestly @InkyPaper I only ask cos I tried to work things out so many times & was like 🤯but it still didn't stop me doing it each time! The consultant did, 2 in fact! And they are all happy so that's good & confirmed I'll get the extra high risk scans which is really reassuring

@Franklydear yes day one done, excellent, did you put your holiday request in for Spain?

@Minster2012 working on it, red tape galore, if not I’ll go any way and deal with the consequences later

@BellatrixK good thinking about carrying on DTD - especially if you had a booster!

TW: scan

I had my first scan today and all went well! Measuring ahead by two days at 8+3 and a strong heartbeat. Pop over to the sidecar to see a pic! I've had zero morning sickness or nausea so was pretty convinced there was nothing in there. I'm relieved that's not the case.

I think I can finally cancel IVF? And do that midwife referral...

Thats wonderful @Juno231, can you post me a link to the sidecar, please?

Well done @Franklydear, pleased it went ok and you're feeling OK still.

@Franklydear here you go www.mumsnet.com/Talk/pregnancy/4441412-Minsters-Sidecar-Bumping-Along-ttc-graduates-thread-5

Gp waited until just before I started work to call.. he's going to refer me for a scan on ovaries and I have to lose more weight as expected

@dmb91 what is it with doctors and losing weight, glad you got some progress
@Juno231 thanks, I’ll have a look,

@Minster2012 I'm glad the consultant rocked up and all is good 😊
@BellatrixK yes, baby had legs crossed so she's going bk in two weeks time. All is good with the baby tho so that's great! She's also a teacher like you. Glad your first day bk went well.
@InkyPaper thank you honey, it did! Good luck for EC this month, that's exciting!
@Juno231 such wonderful news!! I will catch up on the side car on my commute today. I've seen it's been busy but I need to read n comment still.
@Franklydear I'm glad you're managing work ok. Boss boy up to his usual tricks then?!
@dmb91 good you're getting a referral. Hope it's an achievable amount to lose! X

@becarefuloutthere I haven’t seen him in two months, and only got back so don’t know what he’s up to, the rest are mostly fuckers too, but to be fair, they’re quite burnt out too, but getting myself sorted anyway, just doing what’s best for me and they can fight amongst themselves
