@lucyrp same here!! We're in tier 3 now too so can't even mix but we're hoping it changes by the time her baby shower is! Also I have a Fitbit to track my rhr but just use the Fitbit app!

@Juno231 I had 1 glass of red wine last night but that's it, will that affect it? I suppose tomorrow will explain more too because I'm not drinking tonight so hopefully it'll stay high!! I'm trying not to get ahead of myself, but one min I'm like omg this could be my month, then the next I'm like it's definitely af coming

@Ltay2 ahhh really??? I'm getting excited😬 I hope it stays high tomorrow!! How're you getting on??

@Vil10 I am surprisingly chilled to be this close to af with no clear af telltales... maybe I truly lost my mind this time

Heyyy ladies! Been at one of my besties baby shower all day today, just 6 of us and was really nice! Had more prosecco's then I said I would but fuck it! Been good for ages on the booze front! Was ready for swerving questions but didn't have to!! Some know already anyway so they musta told the others not to ask me 😂 suits me just fine! Cd12 and ov day. Dtd this morning so covered, phew 😅 not had a good read through yet but think I saw a bfp 🥳 hope everyone's well x

@2alreadywantanother Aww your poor niece! My heart goes out to the poor thing. It is a nightmare to deal with and it’s definitely brushed off a lot. I still get the old ‘well it’s just your period, how bad can it be?’ comments from people, including my GP at one point. Wishing your niece all the best and a speedy recovery xxx

@Minster2012 Thank you for the welcome :) Definitely don’t mind a bit of cheeky chatter, will be nice to be so bloody open about this entire thing Sorry to hear about your MC my love but sending you massively positive vibes for the IVF- everything crossed for you xxx

@Vil10 Thank you hun! Looking forward to some good chat :) xxx

@vil10 so excited for you that chart looks perfect hun x

Feck it girls, been following you all since May and every time a new bus starts I think - this is my chance, I'll slide in now! But I've never had the balls. DH has been telling me for months to talk to you all because I've been filling him in on your stories as if I know ye 🙈 I also told my mam today that we're TTC so what better time!

If ye can't tell by 'feck' and 'mam' - I'm Irish, TTC #1 and on cycle 7. Had an absolute squinter on Monday at 14DPO but AF arrived on Tuesday, 2 days late. First sign of any kind of line since I came off the pill in April! So CD5 now and hoping you'll be as accepting of me as ye have of everyone else I've watched join since May!

Evening all, welcome to the bus newbies 😂😂

@Vil10 really hoping after the mega bonkathon on your holiday that you get a well deserved bfp soon, your signs are looking so positive 🥰

Ok-totally off topic but need inspiration. It's my mum's partner's 70th coming up and he loves making stuff with wood-furniture, planters etc and wears a set of overalls when in his workshop so was thinking of getting him an embroidered badge to sew on...but I can't think of anything clever, witty or even remotely badge like to put on it. His name's John and all I can think of so far is 'John the timber master' which is pretty naff 😂😂😂 any ideas please????

Hope you're all having a great Saturday night; I stuffed my face with a takeaway and chocolate and am now wallowing in the guilt. SlimmingWorld on Tuesday will not be pleasant 😂

@RecordPlayer welcome and if you’ve been reading that long, you know how we are, glad you finally said hi

Hi all newbies :)

Hope everyone is having a good Saturday ❤️

Im absolutely knackered as haven't stopped today and have been spotting a bit today 😒 not looking good again.

@Clairey844 you can make it look like a scout merit badge...

Hi, @Recordplayer! Nice to meet you. CD2 here, drinking wine and just generally enjoying eating and drinking whatever I want 😂 We're approaching Our 6th attempt now, even though we started trying in January. Had a few setbacks. But this group are lovely and welcomed me with open arms recently.

@Franklydear when's af due for you??

@notyetamumbuttrying glad you had a nice day and nobody asked questions!! And that you DTD on ov day🍆🍆

@AmesK you'll definitely get some here!!x

@2alreadywantanother im trying not to get too excited but I can't help it because ive done this so many times before and just been disappointed!!

@RecordPlayer so glad you decided to join us!! Definitely the right choice!

@Clairey844 if after all that spunk I don't get a BFP I don't know when I will😂 I wish I could
Help with johns present but unfortunately I'm shite at things like that, hopefully someone else here can help🤞🏼 I'm also stuffing my face with chocolate, anddddd Oreo choc to be exact, so surely I'll get my BFP after eating this??🤔

@AmesK hi :) just read your message. I've only recently been diagnosed with pcos too. It truly sucks doesn't it. Are you fairly irregular? How are you finding the medical interventions?

@Clairey844 i was maintaining an alright weight and then me and OH have had 4 days off together at home and i've put on 4 pounds or so the scales reckon at the moment 🤣 hopefully they'll go back down 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ and we had a chinese tonight! was going to have a gin to wash it down but i've only got gordon's sicilian lemon in the cupboard and not a great fan of that, would rather raspberry 🙈

welcome all newbies 🥳 you can see i don't post as much as i used to if you've been around for a while, not sure what's happened 🙈

@Vil10 af should be here Wednesday, I normally spot a bit before hand... just a few more days, and if nothing I’ll test on the weekend

We can be irish buddies @recordplayer 🇮🇪🥰🇮🇪 welcome x

Welcome @RecordPlayer! You're in good company here! Hopefully this month is your month! Can't believe you've been following us all since May!! Sorry for all my moans 
@Vil10 thanks hun! Yeah chuffed all round! How's bonkfest going? Good choc choice! Bfp for sure

@lucyrp it would piss me off. It's pissed me off for you 😂🤣🖐🏻high 5 for that

@Vil10....we've all got positive thoughts thoughts for your bonkfest month and enjoyed your slippery holiday shower stories!! Hoping that's done it for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Franklydear come on girl, cool as a 🥒right? Don't lose it now gorgeous you've done amazing. I'm on this bloody bus til March 21 fecks sake and I want an EMPTY bus.

@Joanna1009 I've got a cloudy lemonade & gin here! Well, half now 😋😬cheers

@Newbie0818 noooooooo go away witchy 😿

@RecordPlayer heyyyyy!! So glad you've jumped aboard now if you d been following that long!! Woop woop now we need to know all about you if you know all about us!! Not just the boring TTC stuff 😋And mam and feck, I thought you were gonna say you were from Newcastle 😝hope you treated yourself after that AF on Tuesday

Thank you so much @AmesK, u fortunately we got our BFN from ivf2 officially this week so now onto last little embryo once this damn bleed is over starting again. Starting with November bleed but that last year ended up with a February date of transfer so yeah I'm gonna be around FOREVER 😡but someone gotta keep these ladies in line

@Clairey844 errrrr "johns got wood?" Gimme time man on this one....and more wine

So here's my gin & then our pumpkins, my rainbow attempt for our miscarriage that was due Halloween 👻🎃and some phalice mushrooms too.

On a side note I'm a bit sad ladies. I did my candle last night for baby loss & put a skeleton baby hat I had for the baby & put "breaking lockdown silence, We believe in rainbows, IVFgotthis" and non of my SIL liked it, literally only 3 of my actual friends. I don't have a big friendship group but I thought those I had were good ones even if I have only told 2, who did like it, fair enough but I'm a bit shocked tbh that not a few others who are you know, "wider friends". Everyone knows about the surrogacy, and we talk openly about that & all have asked, I'm known for talking openly about my cancer, the ivf previously so really??? It's a very lonely world IRL.

Anyways. I'm pleased I did it and I hope maybe some friends who it's also happened to might reach out & talk.

@Minster2012 love a good high five, me and OH were wayching celebrity catch phrase earlier and shouting the answers out and everyone one of us got it right we high fived each other🤣 also sorry to hear none of your close family liked your wave of light😔 it's a bit like thay sometimes, not many people say anything x

@Minster2012 yep, call me cucumber queen, don’t even know what cd I am.... thanks to you ladies that keep me in toe if I wither

@Minster2012 Sorry to hear that. People can be cold sometimes. I can't even begin to imagine how it must feel to have a miscarriage, your pain. I had phantom pregnancy for three months at the start of this year, but I never really knew for sure if I was carrying or not, so it's really not the same.

Does anyone here eat ground flax seed to boost their oestrogen? I'm reading up on how I can improve my uterine lining.

@Minster2012 sorry to hear your disappointment, I only check Facebook briefly and never reply there, it’s the kind of thing that would pass me by, I have no idea where I am going with this btw

@Franklydear you're similar to me then! I'm the same as well, usually spot 1/2 days before, I think I'll test on Wednesday/Thursday if there's nothing!

@notyetamumbuttrying well we had a mini bonkfest this morning but I've ate so much tonight I don't feel in the mood now I feel too sick😂

@Minster2012 I really hope so but if not then there's time to make more slippery stories! So sorry none of your friends or family liked your post, it's sad when you feel like they'd be your biggest support and they let you down! You have us❤️
