@Minster2012 apparently didn't learn from the last time and is once again letting me loose behind the wheel whilst she enjoys her well earned rest! You can follow her on Instagram (Minstermusings) where lots 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 had over 100 BFPs on this thread since @Minster2012 took over including 2 on the last thread so we need to keep our lucky run going, no slacking ladies!

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

Which makes me wonder about some of those we haven’t heard from in a while.

checking in with you all! Trying to keep track of everyone is hard. I need a spreadsheet!

user1019273703 · 09/05/2022 07:35

Hi,

Yes I have slipped off the radar for a while, had lots of things going on. Still TTC going in to month eight. Hope everybody is ok

Franklydear · 09/05/2022 07:48

@Minster2012 used to have a spreadsheet, that’s how she kept track of us all and was such a good driver
we need a weekly news board

pennysays · 09/05/2022 07:50

hi @user1019273703 glad you’re still around - although not glad you’re still trying to conceive!!

@Franklydear what would a weekly news board look like? Ok I think I will start a spreadsheet.

Franklydear · 09/05/2022 07:52

@pennysays dont kniw, but remember minster used to come with this week 1. X has such test 2. W is due af,...we need some kind of organisation, we’re drifting

pennysays · 09/05/2022 07:54

Ok I am up for this challenge.8 wonder if minster would share her spreadsheet!!

JSS15 · 09/05/2022 07:55

Hi @pennysays thanks for checking in. I'm still here, just lurking away 😂

Cycle 5 for me. Got a bit stressed out in the last TWW as I'm finding I really don't like not knowing what is going on with my body. Attempting to be a bit more chill this time (we'll see how that goes!).

pennysays · 09/05/2022 07:57

@JSS15 ahh yeah it is stressful. Are you irregular?

JSS15 · 09/05/2022 08:04

@pennysays no, I'm regular but have long cycles so 33/35 days! Decided I will do OPKs this month but not temp, and then delete my apps after my peak. I would just sort of stare at the charts like a mad woman last cycle.

Love the talk of a spreadsheet for the thread 😅

Manifestingbaby · 09/05/2022 08:46

@Franklydear I lost the sidecar ages ago , thanks for the updates 😄

Congratulations @bez91! Hope all is going wellfor you x

Can't believe all these long time passengers are at the actual baby in arms stage 😁🥰

paintfairy · 09/05/2022 09:28

@Somatronic I think your MIL and mine might be the same person?🤣 But the fact she's too wrapped up in herself to ask how things are- suits me. Keeping my distance is fine.

Somatronic · 09/05/2022 09:41

Congratulations @bez91 I saw pics on insta and he's absolutely beautiful. I'm sorry that the birth was difficult - I hope that you are OK xx

@paintfairy oh dear. I'm sorry that yours is a nightmare too. Yeah so I spent the whole weekend with her and met my BIL and his wife several times and none of them mentioned it. How weird is that! I came home wondering if I'd imagined that I was pregnant and took another test hahaha.

user1019273703 · 09/05/2022 11:13

@JSS15 the TWW I too find the hardest part analysing every symptom and what your body is doing!

Dawnbird · 09/05/2022 13:12

Well, I'm booked in for a scan on Friday, so I guess my blood tests came back showing something. Haven't heard from the doctor yet directly.

I'm not really thinking/worrying about it though. My sister called me panicking late last night. Her partners 12yo daughter just got an emergency flight to our national children's hospital with a brain tumor. I'm devastated for her, and hugging my DS tight. Trying to support her and help her stay strong for her partner and the girls. They had a very long drive up today, and I'm focusing on organizing her a care package via a friend nearby to keep me busy.

Franklydear · 09/05/2022 19:12

Oh @Dawnbird that’s terrible, my ds is sitting right next to me too

Dawnbird · 09/05/2022 20:12

@Franklydear mine is fortunately very into hugs.

pennysays · 10/05/2022 07:23

Oh @Dawnbird thats terrible news. How are they doing?

pennysays · 10/05/2022 07:24

@paintfairy how are you doing?

pennysays · 10/05/2022 07:25

@Mc3209 wondering if you managed to hold out on not testing?!

Mc3209 · 10/05/2022 09:06

@pennysays I am holding out so far, I don't want to see another BFN. Feeling a bit nauseous, but not sure if it's my mind playing tricks on me. Will test tomorrow, staying cautiously pessimistic though, don't fancy disappointment.
How are you doing?

Dawnbird · 10/05/2022 11:42

@pennysays holding up, she has surgery all day tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes.

Somatronic · 10/05/2022 12:35

@Dawnbird how awful for them - I hope everything goes well tomorrow.

@Mc3209 fingers crossed for you tomorrow!

pennysays · 10/05/2022 18:30

@Dawnbird everything crossed.

thanks for asking @Mc3209 my dp has agreed to move forward with the sperm analysis - which he has not been blocking exactly but not been that keen, so please about that. I’m waiting on my scan at the end of the month and then we’ll be set for our referral to the fertility clinic. But the waiting list is three months. So we’ll need to decide if we want to wait or go private. I’m not sure what else we could get on the nhs other than clomid if we already have a dc.

@polkadotpixie checking in on your today. How are you feeling?

Franklydear · 10/05/2022 21:18

@pennysays I wonder the same, let me know how it goes

i came early from work today with chest pains a bit fastidious breathing, doctor couldn’t see me, so there tomorrow, I slept all afternoon and feel better but I guess I’ve overdone it again

theres news to look at in Instagram and a bit of mention on the side car, it’s not really my place to make announcements so I asked on the sidecar if they want me to take that role, answer awaiting

pennysays · 10/05/2022 22:43

ahh lovely news. I don’t follow anyone on instagram but delighted at all these long longed for babies coming.

im sorry that you’re breathing is playing up @Franklydear yes time to take it easy. What were up to yesterday?
