🎵 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

June 2020 24 BFPs
July 11 BFPs
August 18 BFPs
Sep 4 BFPs
Oct 7 BFPs
Nov 7 BFPs
Dec 14 BFPs
Jan 2021 7 BFPs
February 8 BFPs
March 5 BFPs

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

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

You brits have no taste! I love bananas and eat them every week though

How exciting @InkyPaper ❤️

Final insemination of the month was a nightmare! Coparent was knackered after work and has a wisdom tooth infection and feeling very ill. I was tired and stressed from the journey. Coparent's lodger - who is usually at work in the evenings - was inexplicably in the flat making food and watching snooker. There was only a really small amount of semen and it was really hard to get it in and then out of the syringe. Snooker noises and random lodger sounds made it quite hard for me to focus on relaxing and inseminating. Orgasm out of the question. Feel a bit blah about it but at least we tried!! And hopefully got a little bit of sperm where it needed to go.

😃😃😃PUPO!! Yay @InkPaper very happy to read that update.

Sorry all I really am only dipping in and out at the moment.

@lakejupiter sounds like a successful fertile week.

Good luck to all you girls getting to the pointy stage of the tww 🤞

@InkyPaper PUPO WOOOO!!! Soo pleased for you; manifesting all the embaby vibes 💕

How can you say the people who invented Yorkshire puddings have no taste @Franklydear? I'm not having it 😂

@lakejupiter I think most ppl would fail to get turned on with snooker noises 😂but the sperm won't care so any up there is good 🤞🏻

How's the TWWers feeling? @BellatrixK @pennysays?

@Minster2012 @Franklydear it might surprise you to know that I don't like banana or yoghurt! So certainly no banana yoghurt going on around here. Yorkshire puddings on the other hand! 🤣

@inkypaper yay! Congratulations!

@becarefuloutthere wow it's getting so close now! How exciting!

@juno231 thanks for the IVF info and the interview advice!

Bananas: good, Yorkshire puddings: pointless. I love bananas and yoghurt so a combination of the two sounds fascinating. I'll check it out next time I'm in Spain or its environs.

I only eat bananas occasionally because they're good for me but only if they look like they won't taste too much like banana @Franklydear.

@lakejupiter snooker deffo not an aphrodisiac. Think you've done well this FW though! Any sign of the SA...?

Can't do dairy or eggs any more so Yorkshire puddings out of the window for me. Not that I'm really a fan of a roast dinner anyway...

Genuinely can't believe I'm reading this about Yorkshire puddings??? What???

@larrythelizard ok maybe you have an excuse but @Somatronic pointless?! WHAT?! Least @paintfairy and I agree on the Yorkies!

@Minster2012 I've tried to like them! But what are they? Weird tasteless oily pastry-like alien in the middle of my roast dinner? I dont get it. We don't really eat them here so I've only had them a couple of times when I had a roast dinner in a pub or restaurant but I expected great things and was very disappointed. Sorry!

@InkyPaper jumping back on to see that you're PUPO!!! Amazing!!! So so exciting!! Come on little bean🤞🏼🥳💗

I'm shocked to see people don't like Yorkshire puddings???? I mean Yorkshire puddings dripping in gravy is a gift!! I like bananas but not a massive fan of banana flavoured things like yoghurt and milkshake!

Thanks for the support everyone ❤️❤️❤️ heard from the clinic this morning, neither of the embryos made it, so if this one doesn't stick that's our NHS funding over with and we'll have to try a paid for cycle.

@Somatronic eek I know! Oh and I love bananas and Yorkshire puddings @Minster2012 so never fear, you are amongst friends too 😂
I'm quite similar to you @Vil10 in that I don't like banana flavoured things except for those banana sweets from the pick n mix 😆

@InkyPaper praying for a sticky my love ♥️

bean @InkyPaper* xx

oh @InkyPaper keeping everything crossed for this one.

@lakejupiter ARGH what a night. You only need one sperm to make it to the right place...and a drop contains thousands. But still, how stressful.

@Somatronic making me laugh with your weird pastry aliens.

@Minster2012 yeah checking up on @BellatrixK @Bundaberg84 and @Franklydear on cycle updates.

11dpo for me. And I want you all to know that not only have I NOT tested, I have also NOT re-read any threads on pregnancy symptoms OR looked at pregnancy BBT charts. I am a paragon of self-restraint.

Except, I am very very certain I am not pregnant. When I was last pregnant I knew way before 14dpo because my boobs felt like they were on fire. My boobs just feel normal at the moment so I'm pretty sure nothing is happening. Although my temp continues to rise .

Am just fight fight fighting with dp at the moment. He said "I think you probably are pregnant because you're a bit mad at the moment"... with obviously no recognition of what an ABSOLUTE TWOT he has been. or indeed the understanding that because I don't think it's worked this time again, I feel utterly bleak and completely furious at the world.

Thanks for checking in @pennysays
I wanted to test today as predicted AF date was yesterday. But I didn't track my ovulation, so I have no idea if I'm really overdue or not. I checked my last cycles and the longest was 32 days, which would be tomorrow. Trying to wait!

@InkyPaper 🙏🏼 for a sticky bean! 🤞🤞🤞You only need one good one. Its a long 2WW though! Keep yourself occupied.

@Bundaberg84 you are also a paragon of self restraint, keep us posted.

@InkyPaper 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 so tight for a sticky one ❤️

I'm not going to be helpful here @pennysays but early symptoms way different here than either of two previous pregnancies (1 MMC, 1 DS). DP sounds like he's not helpful!

Very impressive not testing @Bundaberg84 im super impressed!

haha thanks @pennysays and @larrythelizard - I hate seeing negative tests, and I figure it won't change how pregnant or not pregnant I am, you know? Also, who am I kidding, I'm just scared to test ;)

Haha I know it so well @Bundaberg84!

@Minster2012 I do like Yorkshire puddings, ... @larrythelizard the puddings are the only reason I'll entertain a roast
@InkyPaper one is all we need 🤞
@pennysays cd 25, probably 12 dpo, not tested, I have very little hope, things didn't happen at the right times with being ill @Bundaberg84 in the boat with you, if I don't test I'm still in limbo
@viiiiil10 how's it going?

Sorry @Bundaberg84 I didn't realise, lots of restraint around here!! Medals all round @pennysays @BellatrixK

@pennysays I think your fella is sailing close to wind 🌬

@InkyPaper that one inside is gonna stick xxx

And also Yorkshire puddings all round. Except for the weirdos! @Somatronic I think it's the lack of quality yorkshires you've had likely dried up ones cooked earlier in a pub then, I like mine with a squishy bottom to soak up the gravy like @Vil10 says

@InkyPaper Congrats on being PUPO! 🤞🤞🤞 Sorry to hear your other embryos didn't make it but you have a strong one on board and one is all it takes

@Minster2012 I'm with you...bananas = bad / Yorkshire puddings = good

@lakejupiter Sorry the last insemination didn't go well, snooker is hardly a turn on! You're still well covered though

@pennysays Well done on the self restraint! Rising temps sounds good and the most despondent and convinced it hadn't worked was the cycle I got pregnant with DS...just saying! 😜

Af here as expected, meh
