@lucyrp what was the pigeon poo again? Was that the inhaling of burning poo smoke? 😅

@Skip86 we're missing you how are you doing xxx

@katao I forgot about the three aussies tbh! Can't even find the first bus 🙊. Thanks for reminding me though, those were good times. Didn't we go through like 4 threads in June alone?!

@Skip86 oh the pigeon poo. I forgot about that, amazing pictures though

Clairey844 · 12/10/2020 21:05

Good evening all, just checking in-nothing to report my end. @Katao love the cheer up memes 😂 I agree about how us long term bus wankers are so invested in each other's journeys that we're all reaching the point of why the fuck isn't it happening for us.
I think we all need distracting and cheering up-jokes, memes, embarrassing stories-anything please 😂

Loving the silver linings @Minster2012 and I also love your dress. A spa day/break sounds dreamy right now

You guys mentioning the old names including the Aussies; wonder if skip ever got a helicopter to do that long arse journey every weekend? Not sure when I first posted, but I have bus 3 on my 'I'm on' list and I know I was using the website before I got the app so I'm clearly lingering like a bad smell on this sodding bus.

Xxx

KateColx · 12/10/2020 21:07

@Minster2012 you look fab!! 😍😍😍 love the gift from your friend, how sweet 🥰 your spa break sounds amazing, enjoy lovely x

@Juno231 @lucyrp haha you'd come on the thread first thing in the morning and would already have loads of messages to catch up on. Some days it was impossible 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

lucyrp · 12/10/2020 21:13

@Juno231 I think it was something along those lines 🤣 yes how are you doing @Skip86 xxx

@KateColx if you woke in the middle of the night there was always someone to talk to too! X

Juno231 · 12/10/2020 21:23

Poor skip for getting the pigeon poo rep then when it was @Adrianoska who inhaled the smoke 😂. Thank the gods us girls don't have Egyptian Mils that make us do weird fertility treatments!

Franklydear · 12/10/2020 21:53

@Juno231 but @Skip86 was cleaning pigeon poo in full gear for her renovations...

Juno231 · 12/10/2020 21:56

@Franklydear yeeeeees that's it! Gosh we've had way too many guano stories on here for a TTC thread 😅

Hi guys!! (Not sure if you’ll remember me) I took a small break from here for a while.
Sorry to hear of the BFNs. TTC is just SO shit isn’t it!!! How is it this hard to get pregnant.
Fingers crossed everyone gets that BFP very soon!

Mosherchick · 12/10/2020 22:00

I have no idea what you're all talking about, but it sounds hilarious. 😆

Sausage1990 · 12/10/2020 22:00

Hi girls I was thinking about the 1st few buses earlier today and I've come on this evening to catch up and you're talking about it too - how wierd!!!!

@2alreadywantanother I'm sorry to read your having a rough time. I was really struggling yesterday, a few people I know were announcing thier pregnancies and I just got so sad that we were meant to as well and it just felt so cruel and heartbreaking. I was means to be nearly 13 weeks but instead I feel like I'm just out if the club. And it's just horrible.

And although I'm gutted that so many people who have been on this bus for so many months, & coming back here feels like a huge kick in the teeth... It also feels like coming back to old friends, with a warm and supportive embrace as we all go through this together.

Just wanted to send some love and virtual hugs to whoever needs some 💕🌻🌈

Franklydear · 12/10/2020 22:00

Well @Skip86 is. Going to get a lot of weird emails if we keep tagging her

Katao · 12/10/2020 22:21

😂 @Franklydear I'm sure she will be delighted, remember her 'hanging onto the bus for dear life' picture 😂😂😂
@Clairey844 I think you are around as long as I am, I came in on bus one when it waspart way through.

Hey @Clapham4 how have you being doing?
@Juno231 oh my god ya the busses only lasted days 😂 poor @SmileyT had a full time admin job looking after us, you were brave to take the whheel!

Missgoldilocks · 12/10/2020 22:33

Haha I remember these names!! @Skip86 was my cycle buddy when she fell! I'm still here haha and @SmileyT was soooo organised yasss 😊❤️❤️🎉 it was full on back then but we are keeping it alive hehe

Katao · 12/10/2020 22:56

@Missgoldilocks and keeping up 😂 it was very full on. I'd read along and have things to comment on but then the conversation would have moved on and it was so hard to have any idea where anyone was at! We were all always asking each other the same questions 😂
Ah I've enjoyed reminiscing 😀 lets hope we are all cheerier tomorrow 😉 night all

Clapham4 · 12/10/2020 23:02

@Katao good thanks! How are you? I’ve a HyCoSy tomorrow (prob what prompted me to write in!) has anyone here had one? Sorry if I’ve missed it. I’m a little nervous about it but fingers crossed the tubes are all clear.

Katao · 12/10/2020 23:26

Oh wow @Clapham4 good luck with that. Let us know how you get on. I think it's supposed to give you a little fertility boost too isn't it? someone here definitely has had it, I think @Missgoldilocks?

Gem176 · 13/10/2020 01:04

Well it’s taken me two nights to read through this entire thread and I think I’ve found my MN spiritual home! Please tell me it’s not too late to catch the bus?! You guys are my kind of people ❤️
Big hugs to everyone who has had bad news, there is nothing more disappointing than a BFN, especially after reading some of your ttc stories/journeys
Huge congratulations to all those who got their BFP 🤞🏻 for lots more as we are only half way through October.
Loving the humour and that no topic is off limits 🙌🏻
Very brief overview of me, have one 7 year old with an ex. Trying for a second with my partner of almost 3 years. Nothing too intense yet as 1. It confuses me a bit 🙈 and 2. It’s only second cycle of actively trying.
Can we discuss why we spent hours being told as teenagers that if we even looked at a willy we’d get pregnant but now, despite doing a lot more thank looking aka shagging like rabbits, nada? I feel shortchanged!

lucyrp · 13/10/2020 06:25

Oh my god ladies I'm so distraught this morning 😭😭 just taken my temp and its so low! One of the lowest I've ever had 😭 this is not what I want right now😭

Spunk me up! - Bus 18
Skip86 · 13/10/2020 06:37

Guys!!! Omg this is nuts, I have not even opened my MN app for about 2 months, thought about you all this morning so came on to try and find you and catch up, and you're bloody talking about me!!!! Spooooooky!!

Ok, so unfortunately I had some really shit news about 7 weeks ago and, long story short, I'm no longer pregnant. I have taken that time to get through all the medical/physical side of things and also to shrink into myself and grieve etc etc. BUT I am very ok now I promise! So no outpourings of sorry for me are needed, I'm at the point where I just want to trek onwards and upwards.

Still fighting fucking pigeons though.

Xx

Hopeful110 · 13/10/2020 06:49

@lucyrp arhhhh I know its so disheartening but I've had the same thing from 6dpo and 7dpo, my temp has only gone up a tiny bit today (see image) but its a crap feeling knowing its not going in the direction we want, but try not to get too down, remember...it may go back up tomororw xx

Hopeful110 · 13/10/2020 06:53

Would help if I attached a pic

Spunk me up! - Bus 18
lucyrp · 13/10/2020 06:56

@Skip86 ooo that is spooky! I thought about you the other day and wondered how you were getting on. Sorry to hear your news but as you said no sorry outpourings we will welcome you back with open arms if you want to join us again🥰 all I can think of is you in that suit gifting pigeons😂xx

@Hopeful110 at least yours has stayed above your cover line though☹️ mt cover line sits at about 36.75 as my temps are only ever as low as 36.5ish in the FP and now it's gone even lower than that in the LP☹️ thought I might finally be getting somewhere and was kinda counting down the days but maybe not now x

Newbie0818 · 13/10/2020 07:00

Well finally my temp is up to its usual high, I wonder if I had a slow rise this month 🤷🏼‍♀️ apps are predicting af next Wednesday. Gah!

@Franklydear oh really? I thought it was available to anyone regardless of age and children. Humph.

@Katao @Missgoldilocks those memes 🤣

@Minster2012 look at you gorg!

@Juno231 oh god I always wonder about adrianoska!

@lucyrp ahh that's so shit!! Sorry lovely.

@Skip86 sorry to hear that lovely (sorry! I know you said not to!). Hugs and glad to hear the poo is keeping you busy!

Hopeful110 · 13/10/2020 07:03

@lucyrp I had mine dip below the coverline at 5dpo in my August chart, went from 98.05f to 96.98f and my coverline is 97.2f and it went back up the next morning, and that was the cycle I had those faint hpt for a few days and then they didn't get any darker. So 🤞 yours goes back up tomorrow... don't count yourself out at 6dpo with a single dip hun, keep your chin up until tomorrow xx
