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

We talk sex, tv, work, more sex, food, slimming, RHR, charts, spicing things up or down, crafting (a more recent addition for 🎄🎅🏻) and help each other out in any way possible. Oh and yeah Trying to make babies gets mentioned a bit too but more often than not our bodies just do what they want!

When I say a few of us have been around the TTC block I don’t mean 🍆I mean as a MN group, not just a bus, a mini sanctuary since March for some of through the highs and lows of making babies through 2020 ❤️🥰

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
⁃ Now mandatory picture of your 🎄tree when up or Xmas decorations / Xmas jumper or similar
⁃ Ditto Wreath - extra points awarded if wreath is homemade 🥰
⁃ NOTHING IS TOO MUCH INFORMATION

@Vil10 currently holds the 👑for filthiest/most embarrassing story, can you beat her??? Though @lucyrp recently spewed sambucca over her fingers so maybe that’s debatable

Story so far...

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

2 BFPs in Dec already and it’s the 1st 🥳

How many more 🤔

@MayDay27 yep as @Chlo2701 explained. Flaxseeds is just american for linseed, so can use either or. I also took the same DHA tablets as Chlo is on ☺️
I was also taking multivitamins and OH was taking some too.

@Minster2012 love the phesant feathers!!

@Kirky658 I had to stop running at 20 weeks 😭 been so hard. It was just so painful. Never thought Id have to stop so early, so Im envious of your run in sleet 🤭😅

Kirky658 · 03/12/2020 18:46

@blodyn91 I'm so so so hoping I don't have to stop running it's the only thing that keeps me going! I do worry sometimes I'm doing too much hence why I'm not pg yet... 🤣

Runnergirl1 · 03/12/2020 18:57

@Minster2012 I had my booking in today and have to now wait for 12week scan to come through the door. Bloods a week today. Had period like cramps for most the day two days ago so really really worried 🤦🏼‍♀️

Franklydear · 03/12/2020 19:00

@Minster2012 no scans, the hospital gave the pregnancy for terminated on Sunday 😢please note, I managed to write this without crying, progress
I thought your dh had gifted you an actual rabbit, your post makes much more sense with the picture😂

paintfairy · 03/12/2020 19:11

@Juno231 I laughed a bit too much at spam. 🤣

Everyone is talking about the gym and I'm here making cake. Oh well, more for me. 😆

CD2 for me and anyone would think it was my DH on his period. Jesus. What right does he think he has?! 😡

Minster2012 · 03/12/2020 19:23

@Franklydear I'm sorry I don't know why it went like that, the scan comment was for @Runnergirl1 who I thought had 12 week scan on 4th Dec but was obviously thinking of the booking in call instead, I'm really sorry I linked it together like that & that really is progress. Have lots of cute bunnies, which hopefully will make more sense than I hope I am 😂

@Runnergirl1 I thought cramps are good, uterus stretching to make room for baby

@paintfairy it's fine you can send cake here 🙌🏻 , not for your DH, obviously doesn't deserve it.

CD49 here.
Need some tumbleweed.

@Minster2012. Thanks for asking and remembering. I hope that’s what it was it was just constant all morning then again later In The evening. I haven’t had it before so had me worried. Been fine today x

LB20xx · 03/12/2020 20:01

Currently on CD45 (🙄) had some blood streaked CM when I wiped this morning and got excited thinking AF was finally making an appearance, but now nothing since 🙃. Had some crampy pains on my left a couple times through the week, but no usual AF cramps 🤔 guess I'll see what tomorrow brings!

@Minster2012 oh my, I've just seen what your present was!! He's a keeper, enjoy!! 💜

JustMouse · 03/12/2020 20:22

Hello,

It's been lovely to read the threads again. Sounds like everyone has been busy and full of giggles.

Well OH is on yet another deployment for 4months, due back mid March time I believe. Been kind of strange the last few nights, but i've enjoyed the peace and quiet, being tucked up in bed by 7pm. The cat is loving the fact that she can sleep on the bed again with me.

Well, AF was due on Wednesday and hasn't shown up yet. I've had lots of cramping, pulling type feelings but not a peep from her. So there is a test waiting on the side in the bathroom for tomorrow morning. Now to try and not wake for a week at 3am. I'm so scared, that I don't know if I can bring myself to do it. AF is always spot on and I don't think i've ever been late.

I want this so much, but at the same time am scared in case it is negative.

lucyrp · 03/12/2020 20:47

@JustMouse i was thinking about you a couple of weeks ago but didn't want to @ you incase you'd disappeared for a reason. Hope you're okay. My kitten loves sleeping on my feet at the moment but also biting OH hand when he's sleeping 🤣

Newbie0818 · 03/12/2020 21:07

@paintfairy I'm the same! Cake over gym any day 😂👍🏻

@JustMouse good luck! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Loving all the wreaths 🎄🎄🎄🎄

Minster2012 · 03/12/2020 21:16

@LB20xx "got excited thinking AF had arrived"! Welcome to the back of the bus 😂🤦🏼‍♀️😫yep he's a keeper for some things, fucker for others 🤪

Still laughing @Franklydear thinking he's randomly bought me a bunny rabbit, when we have 2 dogs that are (loosely) gundogs during shooting season 🐰the pointer would LOVE that

@JustMouse heyyyyy have a welcome back screenshot. It only took me 10 attempts to get the timing right that's how dedicated I am! We are here for you lady, how's his time back been? Sounds like it could have been a good one 🥰🍆

@lucyrp - All is ok, i've found the last few month since returning back to work stressful, on top of ttc and also knowing we was heading towards another deployment. I have said, if it's not meant to be this month, then it feels like its time to stop trying and just focus on other things.

Said cat is curled up in the middle of the bed on my feet!

@Newbie0818 - Thank you

paintfairy · 03/12/2020 21:19

@Newbie0818 🤣 I'm glad I'm not on my own!

Franklydear · 03/12/2020 21:30

@Minster2012 well I don't see why rabbit pet and hunting dogs wouldn't work, really?🥴

KateColx · 03/12/2020 21:35

@Runnergirl1 I had a few days of period pains and felt really worried about them, mentioned them to the midwife and she said completely normal. So try not to worry 🥰 easier said than done I know! I panic about everything! X

Liloulou · 03/12/2020 21:41

AF due for me today, but a BFN on the test. Started with some light spotting yesterday which has continued in to today so I think AF due very soon.

AHobbyaweek · 03/12/2020 21:53

Last day tomorrow at work until jury service begins Monday.
Very stressed this week so trying to relax in the evenings but that has ended up with too many cheese and crackers!

Finishing my first pair of Christmas socks tonight for DD. Then have the yarn for my pair!!

AHobbyaweek · 03/12/2020 21:55

Also 8dpo tomorrow. I can test right?! BlushI and itching to POAS I'm so fucking impatient.
App thinks AF is due Tuesday and to test Thursday.

Runnergirl1 · 03/12/2020 21:56

@KateColx thank you for that. Did they last a while? It is do worrying I’m constantly thinking the same will happen as last time. I just want some good news for Christmas that all is ok and little bean is coming along nicely. How you getting on? X

KateColx · 03/12/2020 22:01

@Runnergirl1 yeah sometimes they lasted the best part of a day. I still get them on and off now. It still starts me off in a panic but I'm starting to get used to them a bit. What date is your scan again? You'll feel so much better after 🥰 All good thank you! Although I have a tooth infection and only being able to take paracetamol has been a killer 😭 finally got some antibiotics though so starting to feel a bit better now xx

Minster2012 · 03/12/2020 22:34

@Franklydear they would work very well together I think, the dogs would name it..."dinner"

@AHobbyaweek can you hold out a bit?? Get the first couple of days of jury service over maybe

Hi @Liloulou! Have you been TTC long?
