🎵 Anyone for a spot of Sunday Evening Xylophone? 🌈 TTC Bus 52 🚌

[polkadotpixie]

Soooo....@Minster2012 is letting the lunatics take over the asylum as she's handing over the driving seat to the passengers and having a well deserved rest after driving us around since June 2020!

I'm sure she'll still be around and you can follow her on Instagram (Minstermusings) where a lot of passengers and ex-passengers have their own TTC or normal accounts too (just be careful not to out anyone on their non-TTC accounts!)

We have a fabulous history of BFPs on this thread since @Minster2012 took over and we need to keep it up...no slacking!

Anything goes and NOTHING is TMI on this bus! Whether you're doing it the old fashioned way or with some help from science, we're all waiting for those 2 pink lines and are here to support each other and try to stay (somewhat) sane along the way

Apologies to anyone missed...40 pages is a lot!

New passengers always welcome and an embarrassing story buys you a cheap ticket...Beep Beeeeeep!

@becarefuloutthere ah yeah, you are one of those lucky people i was talking about. Jealous. 🤣

@Franklydear you're right, I need to think positively! It's too easy to wallow in negative thoughts right now

@paintfairy and @becarefuloutthere thanks ladies! ❤️ You've both made me feel loads better ❤️ I'll try to stay positive

Mine never put anything in his mouth, #autismgains

@paintfairy haha 😂 I remember being so sad that my 8 went down to 4 as well, but you really do just need the one as you've proven 😊
@InkyPaper good to hear 😘
@Franklydear tehe 🤭

Took ds to the barber, we always go to the same one, they knows us now, they were admiring my purse and handbag, knitted and crochet by me, so they have a business proposition, to sell my knits there, they are all about local trading, and have an empty corner, so that could be my shop, they’ll sell it and give me the money!

Congrats on your 4 and fingers crossed they make it @InkyPaper ❤️

Yay for leaving the house @Franklydear - I've been housebound a few times over the past couple of years and despite being a homebody/introvert I didn't realise how much my mood was affected until I got to go out even for something small

IT'S STARTED over here. Did our first insemination today. Was so nice to do it at my own house 😂 felt much more chilled. And followed your advice about PreSeed @Minster2012 - I was def using wayyyyy too much last month. We are still getting the hang of the syringes but I think I got most of it where it needed to go, and got much more efficient with the FertiLilly. I feel much more relaxed this month and less weirded out by the entire process. No peak yet - it's a little early tbh as I'm on CD13 of a 30ish day cycle - but have flashing smiley and what I like to describe as "Medium rare" OPKs, and a super high cervix, so I think we are officially in the fertile zone. We will go again tomorrow and then will hopefully get a third go in on peak day or O day.

Girls, I am so so sorry for being such a shit passenger!! Life has been hectic!! We move out on Tuesday and still haven't found our new home so that's been a right stress on top of things at OH's work and lots going wrong in day to day life!!

@InkyPaper 4 is amazing!! Keeping everything crossed for you!!!

@Franklydear sorry to hear you're not well!! How are you getting on??

I'm going to be better at checking in from now on!

@Vil10, I was about to tag you and @Juno231, how are those goddaughters of mine? I am on the mend, just had a cold that got very wrong, but I’ll be back to work on Monday, and don’t you worry everything will work itself out, like on a fairytale

Oxygen up to 400 l/ min everybody,🖖

@InkyPaper 4 is great!! Come on embryos ❤️😘

And yes for fapping being a bit more relaxed, more experienced with the cup & less preseed

@Franklydear is that back to normal?

@Minster2012 not quite, normal is about 450, but it’s much higher than it’s been🎉

@Franklydear that’s great news! So glad that you feel better.

@InkyPaper that’s great that you have 4. Hopefully most of them will reach the next stage. When will you find out how many have reached Day 5?

@lakejupiter so glad that it was more relaxing for you. And that your fertile week seems to be lining up well for you.

@Franklydear I'm here! I read eeeeverything on here every day but just find myself with nothing to say/contribute 😅. How fantastic to be selling your beautiful knits at the barbers! What does DS play in the orchestra btw?

@InkyPaper I was actually thinking of @becarefuloutthere 's stats so I'm crossing my fingers you still get some great results. It only takes one!

@lakejupiter WOOP for FW and a more relaxed insemination 🤞. Got everything crossed for you.

Had my 12 week scan on Friday and all went well btw. Did I tell you it's a girl? Am 13+3 today and got a due date of 11/08 now ☺️

@Juno231 he plays violin, just say hi every so often
Lovely news on your scan, are you thinking names yet?

@Franklydear glad you are on the mend. You've had such a rough couple of months ! 💕
That sounds like the perfect opportunity having your knitting at the barbers ! Some pocket money perhaps!!

Not much to report here, settling into life with 2 under 2! I keep coming to write in the middle of the night and then falling asleep midway through 😂

@InkyPaper everything crossed for these little embabies!! 💕🤞🏼 hoping they make it to transfer day!!

@lakejupiter good luck this FW!! I can't help on the practical front but I'm really hoping it works for you this week eee !!!

@Somatronic I'm sorry about AF. Rage Rage.

@InkyPaper exciting stuff, I'm glad it went ok.

@Franklydear SO COOL you're going to sell you knits... I feel like men and boys at the barbers are a great match!

How are my TWW buddies getting on @BellatrixK and @Bundaberg84? I'm 7dpo and working very hard not to symptom spot. Which i great because I have no symptoms.

@Juno231 a girl hurray!

@pennysays I have cramps since now 4 days, so started 6-7 days before AF which is unusal. Not as bad as I'd need painkillers, but bad enough to have to change to comfortable clothes because of bloating. Sore breasts but that's to be expected. Other than that, no symptoms. Bad mood an tired, but that's also quite normal 😉
How you're holding up with not testing?

@pennysays it's a barbers, but also a community hub, so lots of women going in there too, I think I'll do it, I'll take some things for them to look at, and I made her a little purse similar to mine, she was admiring, as a gift cos she's so good to us. Thank you everyone for the encouragement

Ohhhh. @Franklydear that’s such an exciting opportunity. Sounds amazing!

@pennysays I actually got a little excited because I feel really nauseous today… but then I remembered that I drank more Prosecco last night then I have in ages! So almost certainly that, not a pregnancy symptom. I am 8dpo, so going to test around Thursday/Friday/weekend if I can hold out!

I've been filling out the DLA forms, well, the first draft anyway, and now I am the one that needs therapy

DH just pointed out that his SA on the 18th is slap bang in the middle of when I'm due to ovulate. Of course it is. Hopefully my cycle is irregular this month. His horoscope said his spouse would get pregnant between the 14th and 18th of Feb so it must be true!

@franklydear I was actually thinking about your pirate and Minecraft knits which probably would appeal to the barbershop audience. But even better that it’s a community centre.

@Bundaberg84 no testing yet. I’m such a good girl. Going to ignore it as long as humanly possible. Suspect 8dpo will be when I start to get antsy. Thank fully much busier now. Last TWW was over the Christmas holidays when there was far too much time to think.

Good job @pennysays 😉

@BellatrixK glad you took my TWW plan seriously. Prosecco much better than pomegranates
