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.

@larrythelizard actually yes, with dh at work and ds in school I’ve never had so much time to myself, or ever chose what’s on the telly so much

DKDK123 · 09/12/2021 10:00

@franklydear glad your doctor is forcing you to stay off work and rest, listen to them and your body don't feel guilty in the slightest about not being at work!

@amy00 did you try another test this morning? 🤞

@gem176 how do you have the energy for keeping up with all of that 😲 I took DS to 2 groups and even ended up dropping one of them half way through the year and I was still knackered, you must be superwoman 🦸‍♀️

larrythelizard · 09/12/2021 10:17

Holy fuck.

Need to tell DH 😬😬😬

@Franklydear love your doc, I think the "FFS" was my favourite

@larrythelizard yes I got the 2-3 on Tuesday but trying to keep most of the bfp chat away from here 😬. Hoping for a 3+ next Tuesday. Booked an early scan in for the 4th Jan at 8+1. But yay for you joining the August crew!!

Franklydear · 09/12/2021 10:30

Oh @larrythelizard🎉

feliznavidad2 · 09/12/2021 10:39

Ahhhh! Amazing!!! @larrythelizard so happy for you. There is something in the water on this bus. 🤩

paintfairy · 09/12/2021 10:45

@larrythelizard omg! 🥳 The world has gone mad! Its like suddenly it's trying to make up for the rest of the shit its handed out.
@InkyPaper I missed whatever your update was. What's happening?

Minster2012 · 09/12/2021 10:50

OMG this nov/December is BRILLIANT all that prosecco @larrythelizard 🤪😍🥰I am over the moon for you

gcat16 · 09/12/2021 10:52

@larrythelizard wow! 🎉 Gosh, what a month for this bus!!

Does this mean you don't get your enhanced maternity pay? Wasn't there a reason you were initially waiting til April? But woop!

Minster2012 · 09/12/2021 10:52

Tell him erm you know that time when you SHOULD have pulled out 😜🥳😂🤣@larrythelizard DRUNK sex for the win on this bus definitely

@Franklydear get on the wine

@inkypaper thinking of you. What a difficult situation for your family. We're thinking of you x

@Minster2012 thoughts and prayers for the carpet. How exciting re the scan!

Ok so I've pretty much ended up registering for every fertility clinic in the city because I panicked but I think I'll go with the private hospital where my endocrinologist works. It might be handy for thyroid reasons and they seemed helpful on the phone. They're also not making us repeat tests we've had done in the last year so I think I'll cancel the other two clinics - one seemed to be money-grabbers as I said and the other one won't get to me until I'm fecking menopausal by the sounds of it. I have an appointment at the end of January which I can live with.

Franklydear · 09/12/2021 11:37

@Somatronic sounds like a happy middle and with a doctor you can trust
@Minster2012 I gotta start drinking, but tbh, with covid and being ill and all, I don't expect much from this cycle, maybe the universe is trying to tell me something

Gem176 · 09/12/2021 11:38

@Minster2012 I'm just a big kid myself so quite like it and our elf comes with reports on behaviour. Honestly M is an angel in December 🤣 terrified of an elf report saying she's on the naughty list! My kids don't get the chance to be antisocial even without baby groups, OH laughs that I'm allergic to being at home 🙈
Definitely like the pub idea, we'll all drink for you... chin, chin 🍾🥂
I was only weighed once in pregnancy, had my doc martens on and midwife was like "off with those, I once sold a pair and had to pay a fortune in postage as they are so bloody heavy, let's not make you look half a stone heavier than you are" 😂

@larrythelizard they really don't and mine just gets right up my nose, an hour late for her visit, stood in an open doorway letting all the heat out fannying around with PPE for 10 mins. Finally came in, saw K was asleep and went "oh you probably don't want me to weigh her" damn right I don't now but had you been here on time she would have been awake. So instead of just beetling off (it was half 5 before she actually got in) and letting me get on with dinner etc she decided to prattle on about teething. I think my face said fuck off better than my mouth ever could 🙈🤣 she doubly irks me as she slots my app times in the late afternoon and puts me down for the last hour of the day then never shows up on time so always arrives at bloody dinner time 🤬 think I needed a rant there!

@DKDK123 certainly not superwoman. Most groups involve tea and biscuits while gossiping and I grow very, very lazy children who like their sleep almost as much as I do! K has been sleeping 10-12 hours since about 9 weeks and before that just up once through the night. Jammy did and I really do know it. I tell no one at baby group otherwise I'd be lynched 😂

Gem176 · 09/12/2021 11:41

@larrythelizard CONGRATULATIONS 🥳🤰🏻 Missed all the updates writing my post for the last hour and a bit!

blackcurrantqueen · 09/12/2021 11:45

@larrythelizard 😭🥰 oh my goddddd
Best advent ever

Minster2012 · 09/12/2021 11:46

Especially for you on the story @Juno231 😂😂😂the legendary bum flap onesie when I think our bus got reported a LOT 😂

Somatronic · 09/12/2021 12:14

@larrythelizard oh my God I completely missed this! I dunno is the app being funny or if I am. Wow congratulations! Wonderful news xx

Minster2012 · 09/12/2021 12:16

@larrythelizard what made you test?

Argggghhhh @larrythelizard 🥳

larrythelizard · 09/12/2021 12:30

Love the bum flap @Minster2012, not sure why it isn't appropriate this year?!

@Somatronic sounds like a good middle option and end of Jan will be here before we know it.

I think it means no enhanced pay @gcat16 but I don't want to check again yet - feels too like tempting fate to do anything in the real world about it!

@Minster2012 decided that POAS would either make AF turn up or there'd be a line. Thought either was worth wasting a FRER on! Also I've felt sick most of this week!

Thanks all for the love, I'm completely gobsmacked (as is DH), tried so hard for months and then one drunken careless shag and pretty much the only sex we'd had in about 8 weeks (we'd both been ill/away/mega thrush etc etc). Not getting ahead of myself, at the moment we've both decided it's just a nice thing that's happened and we hope it stays that way.
