Bus🚌24 Dec TTC Itchy nips poking thru homemade wreaths, Peeing on 🎄crafting sticks, Touch me up 🎅🏻baby with your festive 🍆cos all we want for 🎄is a BFP!!

[Minster2012]

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

@Juno231 shameful good or shameful bad 🤔

And your body @lucyrp

Hello!??!! My best mate said to me tonight where are you upto now cycle wise?? I was like errrrrr

Oh and I just saw a gorgeous looking insta story from DHs cousin (London) where it was like "the best Saturday, gruffalo hunting & pub lunching" with pictures...I showed him & was like PUB LUNCHING REMEMBER THAT??? Arfhhhhhhhhhh 😭😢🥺😩

@smushty14 well it was EPU that suggested maybe the pill and told to speak to the GP so I'm not going to put any suggestions out there to start with an see what they say given the situation and then I'll mention what EPU suggested and the northisterone that @minster2012 suggested. I'll see what they say but I'm pretty open to anything as long as I understand the way it works.

I've been crafting this evening making Christmas fabric face masks... They're not all done yet but I've made at least 1 of most colour options - I love them all 💕😷🎄sorry the light isn't amazing so you can't fully see that the red & cream have metallic shimmery gold stars on them ✨

Hi everybody
Just catching up on the thread.
Had such a lovely day yesterday was so good to get out the house and do something different it's been a long year.
My aunt took the kids last night think hubby thought we were in for a big wild night lol I was sleeping for 8pm.
Today I am going to be doing my wrapping.
@Juno231 help I like you thought Friday was ovulation day but the chart has put it at Thursday which was the day of the big dip. What do you think?

Xx

@DJmum83 my ff has done that with my chart it thinks I am currently 9dpo but femometer thinks I'm 8dpo and I'm more inclined to go with Femometer 🙉

Morning ladies, happy Sunday. Writing this as DH snoozes away next to me as I'm wide awake. Past few nights I have had the worst dreams I've had for ages and waking up after them and struggling to get back to sleep afterwards. I've also got the worst mood swings I've ever had, the tiniest things or changes to our plans either make me cry or so angry! Last night I got really angry because the avocado I'd bought to make guacamole wasn't ripe, this awful mood remained and then I ended up so fatigued I fell asleep at 8pm on the sofa!

I'm really worried I've got some sort of hormonal imbalance tbh and that's why I'm not getting pregnant... I'm only 6dpo too so I think too early for pms?

Catching up. Only as far as yesterday morning but wow to all the bfps! Amazing. Congratulations to all 😃

Sausage totally normal reaction I think. We all have self torture mode at times. It's like a sliding doors thing for you really isn't it, where things would have been. I'm sure it will get easier once you are finally out of this phsse and can concentrate on moving forward again. Hopefully the gp can help.

@Minster2012 thanks hun- I think I'm probably not ovulating yet but it's coming so I'll just focus on having sex when we can. 💛💛💛

@juno @Minster2012 thanks ladies. I think that I panicked seeing a line- usually I use the smiley face ones- so I automatically assumed that I was ovulating, now in my normal less crazy headspace I realise it's on its way but not here yet. Managed to quiet dtd anyway 🤣🤣🤣🤣 xxx

@Franklydear do you think he has broken his nose? My ex used to be like that. Scared me to death. I rant and shout at people but I'd never get out the car. Well, not unless I was really angry. 🤣

New york- go when it's cold. Its too cold to be on the street and less crowds. I couldn't go in the summer.

@notyetamumbuttrying we went on an unintended long dog walk. Ridiculous path (used map) that was not suitable for wet weather. 🤣 DH is like bambi and I nearly lost him.

@InkyPaper I know right? Seriously. I've no blood left!

Off to read the aibu post...... and discover peppers.

@lucyrp we don't have to but we're choosing to because I don't want to put my dad at risk if we are positive.

@amy2503 that isn't positive, but probably will be in a few days time :)

@Minster2012 we have to put down our school details if we do that so would possibly find out we're lying.

@Sausage1990 love the face masks!

@Kirky658 are you fairly regular? Always ovulate? Possibly book bloods?

@paintfairy it would be October half term we went :)

@Newbie0818 oh I've just read your response to @Minster2012 i was wondering why you couldn't just say you'd been with someone who thought they may have it etc. When I had a test I don't think I even had to put a reason down so was wondering why you weren't doing that

@Newbie0818 yes I've tested this morning and it's rising again according to my app so reckon a few more days and it will. Completely threw me but rational me understands now 🤣

@paintfairy yes, I believed him, mainly because his hand was a mess and blood everywhere, even after the 20 min it would have taken him to walk to work as well, he does have a temper, I’ve seen him lost it and kick furniture before, when I first saw him, I told him I didn’t know if I believe him, so he started on all details to prove it,
He started kicking the car after shouting, the guy was parking there, probably didn’t have much choice, he is quite proud of what’s he’s done. He had to wear a glove in work after that, his hand was such a mess, he wasn’t impressed when he got the first aid kit out, that I left him to it and didn’t help him, but he didn’t asked me either.
I do adore him sometimes, not always, he is prompt to big grand gestures that take your breath away, but also he can be quite mean, even if I was single and didn’t have an autistic child, I wouldn’t touch him with a large pole, this kind of guy never changes, and eventually his temper will be set on you, funny enough he thinks I fancy him and would cheat on dh with him, he is not short on ego.
I would love new you’re in the snow, I went to Paris in January, nobody around, it was -18, Celsius!, had 2 pairs of fleece pyjamas under my trousers, but a lovely time.
@Sausage1990 the face mask are fantastic!
@Kirky658 dh still snoozing away, look at the time, ds also, so having a peaceful moment, it’s dh birthday today, we had pizza yesterday, and a special caramel and chocolate cake that they got from the Greek bakery for today, some nice movies and shows to watch on the afternoon, in his work they give them their birthday off, so he’ll have tomorrow off to be home alone too, I bet he won’t do any cleaning...
Could it be stress? This year is starting to take the toll on all of us.
@lucyrp dh suggested to check for ovulation from now, poor mitten doesn’t realised what is involved, I think I am going to pass, I don’t think I can do it consistently and it would add pressure

Ds got up, so we took the chance to make daddy a birthday card, as I’ve forgotten and couldn’t find the time to sneak away to do it, oops

@newbie0818 yep since I had the mirena out in June I've been roughly every 27 to 28 days. Aren't tracking OV so but pretty sure I am due to ov pains, Ewcm etc. Would they see me for bloods do you think if nothing wrong specifically?

@franklydear ahhhh cute! Enjoy the moment ❤️ I'd love to blame it on stress, I've always been a stress head, I've always had horrendous mood swings since my teens but they seem worse at the moment.

@Kirky658 I am only saying streets because I’ve often tie myself in knots with anxiety, and when I recognise this and look at it, suddenly improves

@Kirky658 stress, not streets, duh

@Newbie0818, @lucyrp raises a good point, couldn't you say you were with someone else who had to get tested?? But they hadn't get their results yet?

@Newbie0818 eat all, the nhs test is not good to fly, the private ones provide a fit to fly certificate with your name and passport number on it, they’ve deliberately made then different so you cannot use the nhs for this, I am not planning to go home for Xmas, Spanish restrictions make it unworkable, but half the Spanish community is trying to find a way

Ps: dh is not up yet, ds on his iPad, I am bored

Ps on the New York thing in the snow, I took DH for his 30th birthday 7 years ago when jet2 had just started doing those long weekends to NY just before Xmas?

We got there, I had the worst migraine of my life from the time zone change which lasted ALL along weekend, it snowed that worst snow storm ever that time?? so our flight got cancelled & we ended up basically just going "2 shops then cafe/bar just warm up" DH who is 6'6" hated the jet2 economy flight as he was so cramped AND then next to the BIGGEST woman alive but he wouldn't change seats with me out of principle. So our 4 days ended up being 6 pissed up days of snow 😂but was still lovely.

@Sausage1990 I love those masks!! I was just thinking I should get a festive one 😁

@franklydear streets 🤣 I'm going to see how things go over the next few weeks, finish on the 18th for nearly 3 weeks off with DH so hoping a rest will do me some good x

@minster2012 drink 🙈 and primark here is penneys.
I'm dying a death today. Had some session last night. Was great at the time lol

I finished all my knitting projects, so looking through my magazines to find a new one, all the baby knitts got to me a bit😢
