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 🤔

@minster2012 lovely tree xx

I swear af has a vendetta against me and I can't cope anymore... 4 weeks of non stop heavy flow and gross clots. I'm giving up and calling Drs Monday to give me something to make it stop.. ruins my chances of conception for the near future but I can't deal with this anymore. My emotions are on a never-ending rollercoaster. Insomnia is a bitch atm too. And I need to drop 30 bmi points to be healthier... My house has now got a leaking roof and damps getting in... landlord can't get anyone to look for another 2 weeks... ha to throw all my baking stuff as mold got into my cupboard from the damp at the back... ceiling is dripping in our bedroom ... made half my clothes wet ... I'm living a nightmare!

Dollybird89 · 05/12/2020 19:03

Sorry for the huge rant... had to get it out before I have no hair left out to pull 😭🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

2alreadywantanother · 05/12/2020 19:16

@minster2012 thanks hun. Dont know what it is. Out walking every morning and leaving myself with elverys little time so not getting on at all.
My friend that had her mmc b4 mine, we walk together. Her and her partner are calling for deonk this evening. Be here soon. So looking forward to it. Ages since we had drinks with anyone. Sept 2nd since I last saw my sis 😢 that was getting to me too. Think I'll go over next wk. A wk earlier than we are allowed but if every tom dick and fucking harry feel the need to visit my town to go to penneys then fuck the lot of them 🙈
Here's my new baby making machine 😂😂 and wallpaper.

@dollybird ur landlord needs to get someone else to do it. Some bullshit

Minster2012 · 05/12/2020 19:35

@Dollybird89 drop the period Bomb to your landlord. Be all "you try living here in damp ON YOUR PERIOD coming upto Christmas??!! YOU NEED TO GET IT SORTED" STAT!

@2alreadywantanother that's beaut! But what's deonk?? And Penney's?? I'm soooo confused!!

However, I'm learning stuff ladies....things I didn't know with others apparently. I challenge you to not find something you didn't know on here
@notyetamumbuttrying have you seen this?!!

@2alreadywantanother sounds like you're on a similar cycle to me this month then - AF is also theoretically due for me on Christmas Day. Here's hoping we all get our Christmas miracles!

@Catherinettc congrats!

@Dollybird89 you've got to take care of yourself. 4 weeks of heavy bleeding is madness!! Be kind to yourself, you've got loads to deal with right now

notyetamumbuttrying · 05/12/2020 20:11

@Minster2012 very nice thanks. It's a small 2 bed but they've done it up so well! Very proud of them both ☺️ enjoy your g&t tonight, I'm having a beer with fajitas tonight 🌮 🍺 ooh not seen that thread, will take a peek in a bit! Thanks 👍🏾

notyetamumbuttrying · 05/12/2020 20:20

@Minster2012 have read as far as the feminist poster, spoiling all the fun of the thread! Always one isn't there 🙄

Newbie0818 · 05/12/2020 20:25

@Minster2012 I literally just read that whole thread 😂 some people can be right 🐮s. Seriously though, the pepper thing?!?! I had no idea.

Minster2012 · 05/12/2020 20:57

@notyetamumbuttrying we had pizza & mozzarella sticks mmmmm and yes the bloody feminist seriously 🤨

So it's not just me that didn't know about the peppers!! What!!! @Newbie0818 honestly blew my mind! No wonder green peppers are bitter WTAF!! 🤪

OP posts:
Minster2012 · 05/12/2020 20:59

DH just looked at me like a total thicko saying "why do you think some of the peppers are half and half colour??" I said "cos we buy the cheap ones?"

amy2503 · 05/12/2020 21:14

Ladies please help!!! So I got some ewcm today... it just dawned on me earlier so I did an ovulation test and it came back like
This... I'm not due to ovulate for 6 days- do I trust this test??? It's stressing me out so much. I was going to relax completely this month and not care but it concerned me and now I isn't know what to do and how long I have until the egg comes and goes (my step kids are here so it's a bit tricky until tomorrow night...) I'm worried somethings wrong with me 😭😭😭 the app I scanned it into said it's high but not peak.. what does this mean?! HELP !

amy2503 · 05/12/2020 21:15

lucyrp · 05/12/2020 21:46

@Newbie0818 how come you have to pay for a Covid test ?????

lucyrp · 05/12/2020 21:47

@Minster2012 I didn't know about the pepper thing until a few weeks ago and I was like what!!! Like you say no wonder the green ones are disgusting !

Minster2012 · 05/12/2020 22:10

@amy2503 I think ewcm can come the day before ovulation anyway but if poss DTD as much as possible but don't stress over the ovulation test because that can depend on how much you've drunk or weed over the day & it REALLY isn't worth it. It's all about having sex so just concentrate on that. Just have sex when you can as much as you can and don't stress over a stick love xxxx

@Newbie0818 don't pay, just say say you've got symptoms & get one through the post or go to a drive in centre/pre book centre??

@lucyrp not just me then!

Juno231 · 05/12/2020 22:27

Girls the pepper thing is shameful 😂
I loved the lady who kept insisting her child could change a tyre 😅

@amy2503 that looks like it could become positive in the next couple of days so better get DTD!

Vil10 · 05/12/2020 22:45

Someone please fill me in on the pepper thing??

notyetamumbuttrying · 05/12/2020 22:47

I best read some more for the pepper reveal!!

@lucyrp omg what!! I only like red pepper when it's cooked anyway, but that's blown my mind!!

Smushty14 · 05/12/2020 23:18

Sorry, trying to play catch up 🤣

@AHobbyaweek Ooh good luck with jury service! It was really interesting when I got to do it 😊

@LauraT94 @JustMouse @Liloulou woohooo!!! So pleased for both of you!!! I feel like December is a fab month for this bus!

@Sausage1990 I'm so sorry you are still bleeding lovely. I'm surprised all they are suggesting is the pill... that really does suck! Your wreath does look fabulous 😘

@Catherinettc congratulations!!!

@NestinginNL ooh how many weeks will you be at your scan?
