@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

June 2020 24 BFPs

Sep 4 BFPs
Oct 7 BFPs

@Manifestingbaby nice to have you pop in every now and then! 🙂

Franklydear · 10/05/2022 23:18

@pennysays just office work, busy weekend but only Saturday a soft play visit, sitting drinking coffee for me, and Sunday 40 min of mini golf, hardly strenuous, I’ve gone back to full duties after Easter, so I am going to cut back again, unless the doctor signs me off again

Dawnbird · 11/05/2022 01:28

@pennysays in the same boat with me already having kids. If it comes to it, we're probably going to have to go private. Hoping not.

DP made a face when I talked to him about sperm analysis.

I'm actually pretty amazed at how quick my tests have gone through. Blood tests, then a scan within 10 days after calling is pretty good!

Dawnbird · 11/05/2022 08:11

Yay, surgery seems to have been successful. Modern medicine is amazing. Phew, okay time to worry about my scan on Friday.😅

Mc3209 · 11/05/2022 13:27

@pennysays 3 months can feel like an eternity when TTC. At least your DH is feeling more proactive re tests. Hoping you get your scan soon.
@Dawnbird oh that's good. Fingers crossed recovery is speedy.

A stark white BFN on FRER for me today. I am supposedly 12dpo ish. So that's me out.

Franklydear · 11/05/2022 13:58

@Mc3209 cd 22 for me sofa any day now, but I have a chest infection and been put on antibiotics and steroids so that'll be me out as well, cos even if, the meds will hurt so🤷

Somatronic · 11/05/2022 14:52

@Franklydear you poor thing I'm sorry to hear that you are sick. I hope you feel better soon x

@Mc3209 I'm sorry about the BFN. It's always a kick in the gut.

@Dawnbird Thank God the surgery went well. Phew! They must be so relieved. Great news about things moving quickly with your tests - long may it last. And tell your DH to suck it up. We have to put up with dildo cams and hycosys and awful meds and all sorts of horrors so I'm sure he'll manage to wank into a cup one time!

jammyrose · 11/05/2022 14:54

Can I hop on the TTC deck please? Nice to be here! 👋

Franklydear · 11/05/2022 17:16

Thanks @Somatronic at least i don't feel too bad and have a week at home, dh rearrange childcare so I really don't have to do anything, other than heal, and sulk in peace when af eventually comes

Welcome@jammyrose tell us a bit about your story

Dawnbird · 11/05/2022 20:57

@Somatronic that was about my response to him 😂

I'm CD5. Itching to test. Have FRER so five days.

@jammyrose welcome! Come find a seat!

Had a huge day at work yesterday, sold more in a day than we did some weeks last year, thanks to a good day on top of some new releases coming in. Plus I had stock coming in the door to sort all day. Wrecked! If every day was like that we'd definitely need another staff member. Unfortunately I'm it for now. Had DS11 making coffee, sending parcels and breaking down all the stock boxes for me soon as he got in after school. His competence and willingness to be helpful blows me away sometimes.

Welcome@jammyrose tell us a bit about your story

Thank you! There’s not too much to tell! I’m 31, happily married to DH (37). No DC yet and and this is our first cycle of actively trying.

Currently on CD13 with a static CB smiley. 🙂
DTD today and plan to keep trying through the peak. Not expecting instant results but you never know! Nice to be here and have somewhere to share the journey. 🚌

Manifestingbaby · 11/05/2022 22:59

Aw thanks @pennysays 🥰 I can't help but check in from time to time and see how all you lovely ladies are doing x

Franklydear · 13/05/2022 04:43

Knickers watch time cd 24, normally cycles from 22-32 so not sure when to stop watching but won’t test for a few days yet, although I am off sick with a chest infection, so home all day but more pressing matters to hand

pennysays · 13/05/2022 16:27

How did your test go @Dawnbird ?
knicker watch on @Franklydear ! Did you manage to get some sperm inside you at ovulation time? Are we on a Tww?

welcome @jammyrose lots of old hands here and lots of knowledge. Feel free to vent and ask us whatever you need. Between us and those that have graduated to the sidecar with their babies, there is a lot of knowledge.

pennysays · 13/05/2022 16:28

@Mc3209 I’m sorry about the BFN. Sending love, time to rest and recuperate until next time.

pennysays · 13/05/2022 16:30

How you feeling today @Franklydear ?

pennysays · 13/05/2022 16:30

Just so you all know, I’ve started a spreadsheet. I hope @Minster2012 will be proud!

Franklydear · 13/05/2022 18:00

@pennysays I am a bit better, it's a wonder what does meds do! We have banned the tww in this house, we had fun all along do sperm had gone to the right place a few times, who knows when ov happened so, knicker watch

You know @Minster2012 loves a spreadsheet

Franklydear · 13/05/2022 18:27

Annoyingly, I have 3 bottles of Alvarinho wine and I can't drink on these meds😭

Minster2012 · 13/05/2022 18:33

Ooooo a spreadsheet for what?! Tracking?! @pennysays @Franklydear don't give away all my secrets!!

Franklydear · 13/05/2022 18:46

@Minster2012 your wisdom, your wisdom woman!

Somatronic · 13/05/2022 18:59

@pennysays Well done on the spreadsheet! I admire organised people because I'm a disaster.

@Franklydear I'm glad you're feeling better.

@jammyrose welcome! Cycle 1 and already using ovulation strips! You mean business!

Haha, I’ve had plenty of time to come up with a plan of action! We were going to start trying in December but some ~life stuff~ came up and we put it on hold.

By the time we decided to start properly I was set on giving us a decent chance. 😊

jammyrose · 13/05/2022 21:20

Thank you Penny!

polkadotpixie · 14/05/2022 21:01

@jammyrose Welcome to the thread, I hope your stay is short (in the nicest possible way!)

@Franklydear Sorry to hear you're poorly again. Hope you feel better soon

@Mc3209 Sorry about the BFN 

@pennysays Loving that you have a spreadsheet! I'm very fond of spreadsheets for everything (years working in accounts 😂) but never thought to start one for this...I think you should drive the next bus, you're much more organised than me!

I'm on CD6, enjoying my week of not temping etc. HyCoSy booked for 1pm on Tuesday. Shitting myself a bit but I spoke to the nurse today and she said it's not as bad as an HSG which was reassuring as I found that quite scary and painful
