50 shades of TTC (June bus part 2)

[SmileyT]

Let's all intro ourselves again...so people can use the top of the thread as a quick reference to where we are at and maybe find some cycle buddies - everyone welcome to join the madhouse of the June 2020 bus x

I nearly went insane last month! I think because i know there isn't much chance this month I'm less obsessed.

Hi all, jumping on the bus! TTC cycle 2, AF is due 2nd June so currently going mad in my TWW 😫

@notyetamumbuttrying that will be so obvious when you go out everyone found out I was pregnant so early last time mainly as I wouldn’t have a prosecco! Doh! Proper gives it away if you normally do like a few drinks! This time I intend to avoid all social events which should be a bit easier if it happens soon due to situation.

@Minster2012 that really sucks sorry about your MC. Hopefully you’ll get a BFP this month and lock down will continue for a bit longer so we can be in our bubbles and grow fat behind closed doors! I had an image in my head of emerging from lockdown with a bump x

I don’t think I’ve ever had ovulation pains?!? Also I desperately need my nails and lashes done my fingers feel naked (always have gel on) and my eyelashes now look so short and stubby compared to the ones I had on 😭 I don’t feel at all hot just a fat mess!! Xx

@slimshadyscousin AF is due 3rd June for me. When do you think you’ll managed to hold out til to test? I’ll see if I can last to the 3rd but I’m sort of aiming towards 1st June, that’ll be 12dpo.

Yeah that's true @Cocoblue22 but no one will believe that I'm too wary to go etc as I've been quite vocal about the fact that I'm not. I'll just have to say I'm not well, it's the only thing believable when it comes to not going out 😂

Hoping for Ov day tomorrow! 5 days of high (flashing smiley) hopefully tomorrow it will show my LH surge....getting impatient waiting now!! X

@Ltay2 while OH was doing the BBQ I was out pulling weeds, we moved in November and the list of stuff to do is endless... hope your OH starts to feel better soon x

@notyetamumbuttrying oh that sounds perfect, if my whole family didn't live in London I'd definitely move further out.

Welcome @MouseholeCat and @slimshadyscousin I'm hoping this will be a lucky bus for us all 🙏

@lucyrp @Cocoblue22 I'm glad it's not just me with my 1st world problems, I have hair extensions in and they are all grown out and disgusting but can't do much with them... also I always get my vag waxed and I desperately need it sorting out, can't be doing with shaving 🙈

@lucyrp nice that you got to meet the little one though, my friend is due in July and because I'm still out working I don't know if I'll get to see him 😭 my OH dream is to open a grill restaurant, he bloody loves cooking and the BBQ is his favourite tool, I could suggest it everyday and he'd be over the moon 😂

I'm only CD10 and I'm actually looking forward to a busy few days at work so I can fast forward to a static smily face and ovulation, few days before ovulation and before my period hits seem to be the days I'm most impatient.

@SmileyT omg same I have hair extensions in and they've been 8 weeks in as I managed to have it done just as we went into lockdown because my best friend is my hairdresser and I've still been seeing her throughout as she lives by herself so I'm tempted to go and have them done with her soon or have them out altogether😭🙈 I also have my eyelash extensions done and I look like a mole rat at the moment not exactly attractive for poor OH! I'm not as bothered by nails as they're not on my face 😭
Yes it was lovely even if I had to look at him across the garden but he was burbling away and I could have cried 💔 oh really 😂😂

@SmileyT 🤣 I bet there’s many many unwaxed vags out there! I hope the salons have a good wax supply! X

When do you start POAS? My app says from 7DPO which seems really early to me?

June bus I'm officially on bored! Ovulated today 😊 26yo TTC #1 cycle 2 (although 6 months since I stopped the pill... AF went missing for a long while!) testing 8th June!

Cringing at my typo! I'm on board not bored 😂🤦‍♀️

Thank you @SmileyT ☺️
@LittleRa ooooh I’m going to try and hold out until 10 DPO (Saturday) but I may be weak and poas before as I have a stash in my cupboard 😂

Yeh I think I'm going to hold off too, I think I was 10DPO with my first one and I got a strong positive then.

If we havent conceived this month then we may have to put our TTC on hold for a while anyway as DP has been told his work is letting go over half of their employees 😭 and we won't find out who is being effected until the next few weeks. We are really going to struggle if he's effected, and he's got a unusual job so it's a very hard to find another and he most definitely wouldn't get the same level of pay (he's been with his company for a long time so through bonuses and training etc he's paid well above the average employee)

I feel so deflated, and we don't even know for sure - in total limbo.

@rathernotshare I’m on bored, 9 days of flashing smiles on clear blues & CD22 I’m def bored!!

@OnNaturesCourse So sorry to hear this, a few ppl I know are going through similar 🤞🏻🤞🏻It’s not your DH

My DH company will do redundancies too, fingers crossed not him...

@franklydear it's happening everywhere just now, but I honestly never thought they'd announce so many. I suspected a few, and didn't really think DP was at risk... But with the higher numbers I do now.

I hope everything turns out OK for your DP
X

@SmileyT I actually can't wait to move bk now! I'm so ready to go lol. It's hubs that wants to stay as he's a Londoner born n bred but he knows if we wanna buy a house we have to move outta London.
Oh sorry to hear @OnNaturesCourse and @franklydear this time is so shit for so many ppl. I hope things work out for you and your hubby's!
Welcome aboard @rathernotshare hopefully you'll catch this month, how amazing to catch so early if you do. Good luck!

@rathernotshare hey! I'm 27 and trying for #1 too! Also came off the pill end of November xx

@Minster2012 oh crikey! I've never had the flashing, always goes straight from circle to static, CD19 like clockwork. I seem to have a longish cycle!

@notyetamumbuttrying fingers crossed for you too! Only cycle 2 but feels like a long time as we wanted kids a couple of years ago and decided to get married, have a blow out honeymoon etc first! More than ready now!!!

@TTCgee hey, fingers crossed for you! I always wonder if I'm chatting to someone I know in real life but we're all hiding behind usernames 😂

@OnNaturesCourse sorry to hear your DH’s job is in trouble. I know it’s not conciliation but there’s a lot of people in the same boat right now, my DH employer has talked redundancies too. We’re just keeping our fingers crossed and hoping for the best.

@TTCgee I’m 27 and trying for baby number one too 😁

I know what you mean @rathernotshare we wanted to get married first too and had our wedding and honeymoon last August. I'm a bit older than you at 34 so defo more than ready now! I'm the last one out of my friendship group to have kids so to still be without 9 months on is a little gut wrenching but we march on 😬😂

It's just such a rubbish time, and timing for us on here too. But we definitely wouldn't feel right TTC if he was out of a job.

Welcome to all the newbies 👋

When is everyone testing?

@OnNaturesCourse sorry to hear that your OHs job might be at risk, it's so scary with everything that's going on isn't it. Fingers crossed he's one of the lucky ones being kept on 🤞🏻

@lucyrp @SmileyT my hair extensions are holding on for dear life 😂 I nearly accepted defeat and took them out this weekend but I just can't bring myself to do it 😂 let's hope the manage to hold on until salons reopen. I've only ever had my vag waxed twice and both times killed, it's one of my least favourite routines to do though haha maybe I'll treat myself after lockdown 😜🤣

Can honestly say I've never waxed anything lol
