🎄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.

@Minster2012 what if you don’t buy one but just open a pop-up one in your house? 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Minster2012 I think we can talk you into it, a mobile one, you’ll have to be in so many places, in a caravan, that’ll work, minsters caravan pub!

Ooh a pop up pub near @Minster2012's aga @Sunbird24?! I'll come!

I'm boring myself with endless thoughts of the what ifs so now banning myself from thinking about it before Sunday!

My mother owns a pub that she's trying to push on me. I have no interest. I'll sell it to ye 😂

@Minster2012 I'm all honesty as much as I mutter about "fucking elves" I really do enjoy doing it 😂
Mum guilt, a huge dose of, had HV stressing the importance of early socialisation hence the baby groups and not wanting M to feel left out or less important so doing things with/for her 🙈
Well after my best Magnus magnusson impression of "I've started now so I'll finish" there wasn't really much option but to keep going 🤣

@Franklydear hope you are feeling better soon and sod work, look after you!

@Somatronic I think by money grabbers you mean "very exclusive".... or something along those lines.... it'll make it sting a little less hopefully!

@Franklydear how are you today? Did you sleep for the rest of the day yesterday? I love that sign 😍 would go perfectly in minster's pub.

@Minster2012 i demand a pub now. You'd make a great pub matron with that bosom 😁. Any chance we can see last year's pic of you in the Xmas onesie again 😍

@Somatronic haha money grabbers indeed ! And my knowledge is purely having been on MN and Reddit for 2 years and listening to everyone else's experiences 😅

It would be a great pub, wouldn’t it, @Juno231? I am a bit better, but still tired, yesterday I slept till 1ish then just lay in the sofa until 4ish, my only contribution yesterday was a bit of homework with ds, and then sleep again, I am just back from taking ds to the bus, sitting on the sofa, don’t feel so incline to sleep but probably nap at some point, thanks

So how are our newly preggos doing?

So I've not only got to be the sober driver of this bus but also the sober driver of a pop up caravan pub?! 🤔 mind you I've got enough alcohol here I can't drink so maybe by the Aga!!

Omg @Juno231 I scrolled past that picture yesterday! My pub bosom indeed!! Maybe as a treat later I'll put it up as an Insta story

Love the robes @Gem176 I can't commit my brain to doing that for years I'm a Scrooge!! And sod the HV. My nephew was born April lockdown last year & didn't go to any clubs. He is most def not socially under developed

Elves not robes. Shouldn't try walking & typing @Gem176

@Franklydear still v early days, I'm only 17dpo today I think. Had my 2-3weeks on the digital. Only proper symptom so far is sore boobs. Definitely getting a bit of a dodgy digestive system as well - had to buy prune juice yesterday and I've been gassing the house out 🤭

@Minster2012 I would love that, your bottom was divine!

@InkyPaper FFS and it doesn't help that it's you being messed about every step of the way and constantly chasing people - it's not like it's ever our OHs doing this shit 😆. I can't believe your SIL is still in hospital tbh - how crazy that she's missing so many months of her baby's life. So upsetting.

@InkyPaper she knows I have to be forced, so she’s quick with the notes, I blame my dad military mentality that the job must be done, but I know she’s right and I am better, hope your sil improves and this will be just an awful nightmare, sending you strength, it is so hard
I’ll leave some of my darling doctor gems

1. Why on earth did you try to get back to work? Did you think you recover from covid easier than a chest infection?
2. Whist it is legal for you to go out of the house, it would be rather foolish
3. You need to treat this as if you had pneumonia, very phased return to work, when that comes in a few weeks
4. I want you sitting down or laying down most of the day, try doing sudokus
5. Ffs! (I do get on her nerves with my I’ll try to.... insert foolish thing I am not remotely ready for, in her defence)

I want to see that treat @Minster2012!

I don't think HV's live in the real world sometimes @Gem176

Oh I missed your 2-3 @Juno231, that's great! When will you try for a 3+? Any plans for an early scan?

I'm sorry they're still messing you about @InkyPaper - hopefully they'll sort it today. If not I'm feeling quite shouty so happy to ring and shout at people if that can help?! Poor SIL, sounds a lot for all the family.

I think your dr sound ace @Franklydear! Although maybe not on the sudokus. I'd love to be told to just lie down but then I'm a little fragile again today!

Withdrew my post as I had a bit of a panic attack that I was oversharing and that I shouldn't be talking be family stuff as it would make it very obvious as to who I am. Having a bit of a moment, I think.

@larrythelizard she is, she also knows that orders to sit doing nothing are likely to be ignore, so she tries to suggest activities that are likely to pin me down, her words

Hugs @InkyPaper we're here for you

Yeah I understand that @InkyPaper - I enjoy the anonymity of this thread.

Is DH now recovered @Franklydear?

Wtaf I miss ALL the fun! Sounds like you are having issues again @InkyPaper, but I think @larrythelizard & I would make a very forceful shouty pair if you need it!

I'm waiting for my 16 week midwife appointment. Wearing boots I can pull off easy today for the weighing 😂. I d just left DEVASTATION at my house as 2 guys rip out our open fire abd they were like "errrr this is gonna cause a lot of mess, your carpet should be up" well at 2 days notice & no DH around that's not possible and it will get replaced anyway but not til next year but oh well. God knows what it will be like when I get back 😬

We'll all tell you to just lie down @Franklydear

@larrythelizard yep, he’s fine, just happy to be back at work, and thanks to me, not doing much else, but he did cut his hours a bit
@Minster2012🤦🏼‍♀️

Probably better not to watch it happen and instead have a nice morning talking about baby girl with your midwife and come back and see what's what @Minster2012

Perhaps that's a business idea for us @Minster2012?! Kind of virtual PA's but where stroppy calls are needed?!

Pleased DH is better @Franklydear. How nice to get time to just chill on your own!
