Welcome to the longest running funniest bus ride in history! Or so we like to think anyway...

Where TTC is sometimes the smallest part of the conversation and we like to keep things fun & spicy cos let's face it, TTC can be as hard as a very useful phallus shaped wooden kitchen implement. 🍆

TTC should be fun. And fortunately we have each other to make each other laugh, giggle & more often than not, spit out our tea or wine

We’ve actually been around each other since March but various of us running this bus since June & not got sick of each other yet ❤️🥰

How we roll on this bus...
⁃ No judgement & each to their own on your TTC journey
⁃ Sense of humour DEFINITELY required
⁃ A few of us like a sex toy a few don’t, there may be sex toys discussed! 🤪a few of our fellas have enjoyed this aspect
⁃ Support each other, ranting is allowed, saying you are down is encouraged & celebrating our happy days too 😘
⁃ We have fun
⁃ If you have a pet, it’s welcome aboard
⁃ NOTHING IS TOO MUCH INFORMATION

@Vil10 currently holds the 👑for filthiest/most embarrassing story, can you beat her???

Story so far...

June 24 BFPs
July 11 BFPs
August 18 BFPs
Sep 4 BFPs
Oct 7 BFPs

So far
6 BFPs in November

How many more 🤔🚌🥰

@Vil10 I hope so 😭 it's all I've ever wanted. Literally.
My next period is due around Boxing Day... maybe I'll have some sort of Christmas miracle 🤣🤣

kalidasa · 28/11/2020 14:58

@Franklydear I'm so sorry. This happened to be twice before DS1 and both times I got pregnant again very quickly. But I know that's not really any consolation. Go gently with yourself.

Minster2012 · 28/11/2020 15:00

Hi ladies
Brief update to say I've read but can't answer all as in hospital with an adrenal crisis.

But...
@Franklydear all the love darling. We are here

@PurposefulPolly having been there I prob know why she's doing it cos each stage of the IVF like the eggs growing update scans is SOOOO stressful that if you are the only person who knows IRL you are her release. But it's not fair on you so yes u need to say. Maybe say to her "u know I'm here for you & please let me know when you've had your transfer & when you are testing/the results so I can be here for you, but I don't understand the process so I'm finding it a bit stressful trying to keep
Up & tbh I find it a bit upsetting atm as I Know we might end up there but have to wait for NHS so maybe it's best to discuss the details with the online groups or others that know you are doing it?"

Good luck & totally reasonable xxx

@minster2012 hope all is OK???

Franklydear · 28/11/2020 15:14

@Minster2012 hope you’re ok

LaceyMermaid · 28/11/2020 15:50

@Minster2012 doesn’t sound good hope you’re ok 😘

PurposefulPolly · 28/11/2020 16:04

@Minster2012 thanks. Useful to hear it from someone who has been through it. And to be honest- no i don't understand the process at all.

I hope you are OK re the hospital?

paintfairy · 28/11/2020 16:07

@Franklydear oh no. I'm so sorry to read this. I do hope you are doing ok?

@Minster2012 That sounds a little stressful? I hope it's nothing too serious?

Franklydear · 28/11/2020 16:35

@paintfairy I am ok, I don’t want to accept it, but even my boobs have shrunk,

dh is coming with positives, at least we know I can get pregnant, now he wants to keep trying at least for half a year longer, ... I am sitting looking at my ds, considering what’s making my glass half full rather than half empty, I am very lucky indeed, and if we get to add to the family, great, if not, well, it was a great family to start with....

Franklydear · 28/11/2020 16:39

@PurposefulPolly I get you, totally do, you need to talk to your friend and find a happy medium
Apologies, for the self-centred day, I just don’t have the headspace today, I’ll try harder...

Florence13 · 28/11/2020 16:49

@Minster2012 really hope your ok, thinking of you.

@Franklydear oh hun, well take time and care of yourself and you know we are all here to support you. Sending virtual hugs.

paintfairy · 28/11/2020 16:59

@Franklydear yes it's a good sign this can happen, even if it wasn't right this time. So hopefully it won't be too long before it will happen for you again. I think it's fine to feel down about it though. You need to have that time to yourself. And then you'll be able to pick yourself up and carry on xx

AHobbyaweek · 28/11/2020 17:03

@Franklydear so sorry to hear that. Rant here and know we are here if you need us.

@LauraT94 that sushi looks amazing. Must admit I hate seaweed and intolerant to fish so can't eat it but it looks good!

@Minster2012 oh no! Hope all is as well as can be.

Franklydear · 28/11/2020 17:09

@AHobbyaweek I just feel deflated really, like I lost my wind, perfectly timed maternity leave too, and before turning 44, I don’t feel too bad, considering, it is dh birthday next week, so at least we have something happy to focus on, for now, I’ll sit on the back of the bus and wait for af to arrive at some point in the next couple of months and take it from there....
Thank you all for your support, once more, you’ll keep me sane

Chlo2701 · 28/11/2020 17:10

I've been off radar for a few days ladies but I'm stilll reading🙋‍♀️
@Franklydear so so sorry to hear about the negative test, I know how gutting it is😔 sending you massive (((hugs))))) 💞

@Minster2012 hope everything is ok?!!

lucyrp · 28/11/2020 17:16

Having a lovely day today, but feeling a real longing for a baby😣💓

Mrsbear1122 · 28/11/2020 17:33

@Franklydear so sorry to hear that 😢 but glad you and your DH see the positives and will try again

@Minster2012 hope you're ok

Chlo2701 · 28/11/2020 17:37

@lucyrp completely get what you're saying, my cousin is pregnant again, she found out today, her 2nd month of trying! So that's my best friend & cousin now pregnant on their 2nd month of trying. Bearing in mind that in the whole time I've been trying, my cousin has got pregnant, had her baby & is now pregnant again!! WTF is wrong with me!!!!😩 currently on the sofa with the OH drinking my first cider of the night feeling a little sorry for myself😒 so I completely get how you're feeling today. I'm 5/6DPO & already not feeling hopeful at all this month. I can't go on another 18months like this😣
Any signs of ovulation for you yet?

KateColx · 28/11/2020 17:42

@Franklydear oh no so sorry to read that 😔 It's so cruel. Hope you're doing okay, or as well as can be at least, take some time to look after yourself xx

@Minster2012 hope everything is okay? X

@lucyrp hope you're okay! Days like that are hard when it's all you can think about. Sending lots of love 😘

@Chlo2701 eurgh that's hard!! I had the same thing, I told a few freiends when we started trying and within 3 months 2 of them were pregnant without really trying 🙃 your time will 100% come! X

paintfairy · 28/11/2020 17:42

@Chlo2701 yep that is shit! Even when they can't find anything wrong, there must be some reason why some people manage it fast and others just don't? And why was I not in the fast category? Seems unfair I have to admit.

lucyrp · 28/11/2020 17:51

@Chlo2701 been trying to get OH back into playing football because he used to be really good and he keeps saying he wants to do something for his fitness and we were chatting about it and I said how cute it would be if he was playing on the weekends and me and our baby could stand on the sidelines cheering daddy on with them in a carrier on my chest wrapped up in my coat ☹️☹️☹️ and since then everything we've done today I've imagined a baby being there 💔 I'm totally fine but just got that longing feeling in my heart and womb today. My friends due date was yesterday so keep waiting for updates off her but I know not to ask🤣 I think I'm over the whole jealous of other people(friends who are pregnant etc) kind of thing as I'm just excited to meet them! Although defo jealous of strangers! I'm about to cook a chicken and bacon Caesar salad for tea we've just taken OHs brothers dog for a walk and then after I'm going to help my bestie decorate her Christmas tree, normally we drink but me and OH are taking his grandparents for roast dinner our tomorrow so can't get too messy🙈 I realised earlier that this month is month 16 of ttc for us and rhay made my stomach drop a bit. No signs of ovulation at all yet and I'm cd25 so this cycle is going to be at least 40 days long if ovulation was now in the next day or so 🥴😣 sorry this is a long reply !

lucyrp · 28/11/2020 17:52

@KateColx everywhere I turn, everything I do it's all I think about today 😣💓

Florence13 · 28/11/2020 18:00

@lucyrp sorry your struggling today hun but your time will come.

@Chlo2701 aww I think a lot of us know how you feel. My sister is pregnant with her third and I’ve found that tough. At least we are all in this together

AHobbyaweek · 28/11/2020 18:06

@lucyrp get what you mean as we went for a walk around the lake near us today and I kept thinking things around a baby being with us.

MIL and FIL picked up my SIL from uni today and stopped in at ours for a pee break. Totally unannounced and I panicked at the state of my house when they came in. I have anxiety anyway and felt really judged but my rational side said they won't judge shhhhh. Spent the afternoon stressing about it and now going to try and distract myself with some nice dinner and a wine.

Newbie0818 · 28/11/2020 18:08

@Franklydear I am so so sorry lovely, what awful news to log on to :( sending massive hugs and holding your hand 💕💕💕

@Minster2012 I hope you're ok! ❤️

@lucyrp totally get it, I have the pain and pulling in my chest because of it. Finding it really hard to turn off the feelings recently. Our time will come x
