🎄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.

@Somatronic covid is definitely a bastard, 2 months on I am still not well, but at least I am improving, I never bother tempting, but I have a lot of ewcm that correlates with the sticks so, I think that's my indication
@Minster2012 I don't know anymore, but I'll give DH his few months and who knows, maybe the don't worry about it approach will work

That's lovely @Franklydear super talented you are!

@polkadotpixie pizza bribe 😆 fab, hope that's the catalyst to a BFP 👌🏼

@Somatronic ahh sorry to hear you're still recovering from your walk. Tomorrow is day 10 and freedom day for me so I planned a walk to stretch my legs!

@Franklydear yes I used to get ewcm too. Once you check so many times and know what your own bodies signs are, then you can pretty much stop checking. Its less stressful that way.
Unless you have really unpredictable cycles or something, obviously.

How is everyone? Is anyone else near the end of their cycle? I THINK I’m 10dpo (Covid jab and wonky cycle dependent), my RHR has increased to the highest it’s ever been, but I’m not sure of that back to school being stressful! I think I’ll resist testing until weekend… I hope!

Cd 21 for me, didn't track, but cycles between 24 and 32, so can't be long, I'll test at cd 30, probably

Another day, another cutesy pregnancy announcement... I'm a bitter twisted woman these days 😂 deep down I don't think I'll ever be a mum. Hoping it's just me being pessimistic and not an accurate prediction of the future.

Did anyone else find they had insomnia while they were on Norethisterone? Because sleep has not been happening in the last week and I am on the floor 🙈 I finish with them at the weekend though. Then once AF shows the injections start 😱

Apologies, I've been in a weird place this week, which is why I disappeared for a bit. Hope everyone is doing OK ❤️

@BellatrixK sounds promising! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

@Franklydear those gifts you made for @Minster2012 are gorgeous! 😍

@Somatronic covid is the worst. Rest up lovely, hope the fatigue eases up for you soon

@Manifestingbaby big hugs ❤️ the milestones in TTC are never fun

@InkyPaper I have to say when I was on northisterone each time I HATED it. I couldn't sleep & got terrible headaches like I was just in a fog. Hated it so it's good you are nearly at the end of that then into the next stage...which is all part of your path to being a mum.

@Franklydear and @BellatrixK I am sending huge positive vibes your way 🥰🤞🏻

@Minster2012 OMG it's not just me!!! Thought I was going mad!! The insomnia is actually killing me 😂🙈

@InkyPaper it's def not just you, it's a thing. Unfortunately it's also a thing in pregnancy & motherhood so maybe it's good preparation 😂

@InkyPaper I didn't have that, I had buserelin. But I can honestly say it's the worst thing I had to have. Made me feel awful. I had to stay on it when on stims but thankfully once I added those in, it wasn't so bad. But that alone was horrid! The drugs aren't fun I'm afraid. 🙈

Dh was getting dressed with ds this morning, so I went to do something else, dh came to the living room and sat down, 5 minutes later I asked if ds is dressed and remind him if he leaves him alone he won’t finish getting dressed, his brilliant response: oh, but you normally stay with him,🤦🏼‍♀️, for background, our morning routine has recently changed from dh leaving super early, and I doing everything with ds, now dh gets ready with us, takes ds to his school bus, and then I get myself ready after they leave, but apparently that is not enough and still means I am doing everything myself, rant over

@Franklydear sounds a bit like my DH 🤦🏼‍♀️ He'll say "oh I'm off/starting later tomorrow so I will take DD to nursery" what that means in theory is he will literally just put her in the car and drive there. When if he got her ready from start to finish I curl start work earlier and build up flexi time. Him doing her hair is a work in progress but still, I just don't think they get it 🤷‍♀️

@bez91 well, he's been put right today, I don't have two children to get ready, it's enough that I wait till they are gone to get myself ready, so technically, I am helping him

And it might be petty but I did remind him that I used to do this on my own, so now it should be easier not harder for me

@franklydear, mine is the same. I think as women we're often guilty of doing it all because we can multitask and get it all done quicker so just do it naturally while our OHs end up having an easier time of it. I've started to say to DH, do you want to do x or y eg. Get DS dressed or make the packed lunch and then for the first few time literally have to talk him through step by step everything that that specific job requires. (Like he'd get DS dressed but didn't seem to occur to him that also included socks 🤦‍♀️) but once I literally talked him through like a child he'd get into the routine of that job then I'd add another thing on and painfully slowly but surely its saved me from doing everything in the morning. We're now moving on to the night time routine, it's a work in progress 😂

@DKDK123 he can do it, just thinks is ok to leave it for me, he's used to get himself ready and go, doesn't work like that anymore, I also insist in getting up 20 min later with two adults, he can do some things while I iron ds clothes

@Franklydear @DKDK123 I think they just get used to the routine and it's habit. So even though the routine changes and so could what happens, they just don't think? Sometimes men really annoy me and I want to shake them. 🤣 But it gets tiring having to micromanage their behaviour to do anything different. Why can't they just think for themselves?
And then you finally get them to do something and it's like they are completely useless on purpose, just to piss you off. 🤣

@paintfairy or even worst, he deserves a medal for doing half of what I've been doing for 7 years without complaint

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4451554-DH-constantly-messing-up @Franklydear here's one for you. 🤣

@InkyPaper I took Norethisterone years ago to delay my period and I seriously lost the plot, I was genuinely suicidal. It's an awful drug

Is anyone planning to start a new thread soon? We've nearly run out of room...I can do it if people want me to but I fear we might run out of posts before I get home!

@paintfairy threads like that make me angry for ppl! My DH doesn't do loads unless asked but he does do enough

Good shout @polkadotpixie 🥰how you feeling coming upto the weekend?

@paintfairy I couldn't live with someone like that, bad enough not taking your initiative to organise home life but to sabotage me and cos me money, nah, you'll have to do it yourself when you live alone

@Franklydear @Minster2012 no i couldn't deal with it either. Mine does annoying things sometimes and it pisses me off. But putting oil in water? How useless can one person actually be? I even know where oil goes. 🤣 Mine does cook and do all the shopping as standard. He also used to wash up, but I was kind and bought him a dishwasher. 🤣 So he pulls his weight. But if you ask him to do something different sometimes he's thick about it, and it's just, well, irritating..... 🤭

🤞🤞 for us @Franklydear. Not too long to wait at least.

Oh no @InkyPaper, the drugs sound awful. Luckily not much longer to put up with them for at least. What’s your next step after weekend?

@bez91, @DKDK123 and @franklydear
I don’t have any children yet, but I certainly have to micromanage DH. He is extremely messy and I am extremely not. I have been trying to train him for years to be tidier. But even when I ask him to sort one room, it’s never done right! He’s definitely a lot better now though at least…

My one symptom, high RHR, came down by 3 today (from 74 to 71) it’s never normally above Scott 67 at its highest. It has made me lose a lot of the hope I had!

@BellatrixK well, I am planning to wait till next Friday or so, I don’t have many symptoms, maybe cos I am not looking, but I do have these ugly looking veins, really visible veins, in my boobs, but they’re not huge or even that tender...
Getting to the end, whoever wants to drive better take the wheel soon, and the rest be careful don’t finish the bus, @polkadotpixie you were interested?
