Toot toot May Bus

[popcorndiva]

Thought I would start the May bus as looks like not been successful this month.
TTC 2
Cycle 2

@GingerBaby89 We haven't told anybody and plan to keep it that way until pregnant and had the first scan! Probably will tell parents beforehand but nobody else.

@GingerBaby89 most of my close friends know but I won't tell family until we're nearing the 12 week mark I think.

Just saw some asking about how I'm doing 😊 I'm ok, I'm about 5-6 DPO and I feel nothing. I've had slight cramping like AF which is due here in a few days. I have a very small LP this cycle so I'm just waiting for AF to arrive but I could be wrong. 🤞🏻

@Newbie0818 @Skyla01 health hazard 😂😂😂😂 I actually laughed out loud at that! So funny. DH just gave me a look like what are you laughing at. He will think I'm genuinely mad haha. The pill did that to me as well. Absolutely killed it. I've not been on it for years though luckily.

Yes a good natter about the trials and tribulations of TTC. Love that haha decaf coffee.
I had a meltdown earlier too. Just started crying and literally couldn't stop so this has made me smile again.

All our close friends and parents know we are TTC. I couldn't lie anymore and I need their support sometimes. Everyone's different though. And also gotta do what works for you. I don't find anyone asks me how I'm getting on though. I'm sure they know I will tell them when there's anything to tell.

Totally with everyone on the somethings you just need a good old shag! Just a quick bit of bump and grind

I just laughed out loud too & DH said what you laughing at... I said well you know I said about that bullet well it came about from a MN thread & we’ve gone from POAS to cock rings (knob hoops as they hereby will be known as!) to seeds to quickies & back again 😂

@Newbie0818 pleased we’ve cheered you up whenever there’s a BFN maybe we need to throw a 🍆knob hoop in?!

@HopefulRobertsons66202 how long is your whole cycle then?

@MrsEmilyB it is very nice garden furniture, you know the GROWN UP KIND 😂we’ve put off buying each year but with no holiday now we will prob buy some. But deadly boring when compared to 🍆purple bullets!

We’ve not told anyone we are TTC specifically but we are diff Cos we had IVF due to my chemo so those that know about the miscarriage from that do likely guess I’m not going back on contraception which I had to be on for my chemo. In fact my parents do know. Only my best friend who carried our son knows about everything & knew about the IVF when we did it. But I am the exception & come from a negative standpoint whereas you guys should conceive quickly when tracking xx

@GingerBaby89 we’ve not told anyone at all, though they’re all waiting for us to announce it since we got married. It’s really upsetting as they keep asking as a joke “are you pregnant yet then?” And I just feel like screaming “NO! I’M DEFECTIVE”. It’s quite hard, we just act like we’re not ready for a family yet. I’ll only tell them close to 12 weeks.

My mum knows but think that's about it. Friends know we are planning another but not that we are actively ttc.

My opk tests are now much darker than yesterday. So now swapping to dtd tonight and tomorrow

My cycles are usually 25-26 but I didn't ovulate till CD 16-17 this month 😭

@Newbie0818 it’s really intrusive isn’t it, I have often said to ppl previously “no, are you?, or “I think we might be doing it wrong” & it shuts them up however close friends they are

Bullet purchased 😂

@Minster2012 - I love a good build up too! Definitely working on spacing mine out - it's not as fun as it sounds all the time haha. I am ALL for "cock rings, bullets and TTC" being our June bus thread name 😂 you're in charge of setting it up to make sure it happens now haha.

@Skyla01 - I'm thinking we are all coming up to FW with all these horny hormones flying about 😂 seed cycling is relatively cheap and not harmful, so I'm all for it! If nothing else, you're getting some good fats haha.

@OrangeJ - come and get in on the action 😂😂

@MrsLBear - YES!! It's a very satisfying feeling 😂 like "yup, right place, right time, good job" 🤭👍

@newbie0818 - so it's pumpkin and flax in follicular phase, then sesame and sunflower in luteal phase 👍 be careful with Agnus Cactus (Vitex) - ingefleur has a good article on whether it's right for you. In some people it can do the opposite of helping, so it's good to check! I was taking it when I came off the pill but quickly stopped. Omg a lunch date would be amazing with you ladies 😂 out of interest, where in the world is everyone? We are Cambridgeshire!

@GingerBaby89 we haven't told anyone at all! We'd be the first of the "crew" to bring forth a grandchild and I do NOT need that kind of pressure in my life 😂😂😜

@GingerBaby89 I haven’t told anyone, only my partners immediate family know because of his op, and a couple of his friends purely because he was walking like he had been riding a horse for 24hours 😂 so couldn’t really hide it! I don’t want the added pressure Of my family/friends knowing.

6dpo and i seriously feel like it's not our month. Anyone in the same boat?

I've only told 1 friend we're trying but unfortunately she kept asking for news.

I thought I was meant to ovulate early this week, but had loads of ewcm yesterday and today. Hmmm, better keep DTD I guess, just in case.

@Minster2012 I think you'll enjoy that purchase! By complete coincidence I replaced the batteries in mine only yesterday, before all this chat!

@littlebump2018 I'm in the same boat! 5-6DPO and I've just excepted AF to be here this time lol

We haven't told anyone we are trying! Always said we'd like a 2 year age gap and DS1 is 14m so we are just short of a 2 year if we are lucky enough soon. Therefore no questions lol!

Tesco delivery did just accidentally bring me 3 boxes of decaf tea. Is it a sign? 🤣

@MrsLBear I am in Lancashire!

Enjoyed all this talk today ladies, been working on and off so just reading through now 😂

Decided to take an early test in the morning. Still probably way too early but just want to satisfy my curiosity, even though I know it is unlikely to show anything. Will keep you all updated!

@MrsLBear @Newbie0818 I literally was dead on the pill. Took a week to O. Had no interest in DTD really. My DH was surprised when I came off it. Its calmed down a bit now but for months I was like a dog on heat constantly. 😂

@GingerBaby89 no one knows we are TTC.

@Littlebump2018 it’s all just up and downs I think the whole process is hard, but it’s so great we have each other & there’s always someone here at a similar point, sending hugs 🤗

@Skyla01 I’m quite excited about my purchase 🤣2-5 working days 🤞🏻

@babyG123 Tesco knows 🤔🤞🏻🤞🏻Let’s hope so!!

I’m East Yorkshire!

Hey girls just catching up and you have given me a good laugh so thanks so much!
Mentally I’m on a really down day today but after catching up and the giggle I got the tide is turning!!
Hope you are all having a good time getting frisky 😉
@GingerBaby89 my mum and one friend knows, she is also TTC and our babies are a similar age!

So my little sexual predators..... I've just read on another post that normal lube can stop sperm!

After feeling shitty and sick and secretly hopeful I'm now like wtf maybe not as we always use normal. 😩

@Ltay2 please keep us updated! 🙏🙏

@paintfairy @mrslbear @newbie0818 snap!! Depo and the pill absolutely killed my sex drive. As soon as I came of the pill I was a woman possessed! It's settled down to about 2 weeks of the month now, so he gets a break 😂😂

What has everyone been up to tonight? DH and I have extended our "cheat day" to a bottle of wine and a takeaway from a local catering company. Got all dressed uk for the occasion. We DTD this morning so it was a no pressure situation tonight which has been so nice!!

@babyG123 - I wouldn't worry too much! People get preggo with all sorts of lube! However there are sperm safe lubes out there such as preseed and fertility plus, which is easy for them to swim through, and are the right ph etc.

@MrsEmilyB they're now in my amazon basket if we aren't lucky (7dpo) this cycle. 🤞🏼 didn't even know this!!!

@babyG123 - amazon has had soooo much money since starting our ttc journey 😂😂😂 we are using fertility plus atm as it was about £4 to buy 6 "portions" haha. I think if we aren't lucky this cycle it'll be preseed for us. We always used coconut oil before this, so it was new to us too!

Haha love the name idea @Minster2012 @mrsemilyb but we can use it for our mag bus #2 as we're getting to the end if this thread and its only 1st of May today ahaha

We've got told our families nor many friends tbh. We've told 2 friends who are husband and wife and expecting their 1st because they kinda guessed and were like you're trying aren't you? So we didn't lie because it was actually good to share with some people... And I've told 2 good girlfriends, 1 who's pregnant now and 1 who has a baby. I didn't plan to tell them but I shared with them about the chemical and I'm so glad I did.

My closest friendship circle don't actually know tho because I want to surprise them with the news when we do convieve. I'm already looking forward to that part 😊💕
