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

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 🤔

@DJmum83 haha step away from the chart! You're only 3-4dpo so not even had a chance to implant yet. Your body won't even know if conception has failed yet so don't read into the temps 😁. Most common day to implant is 9DPO so everything you feel /see until then is just normal LP stuff xx

Thank you I know you are right. I have stepped away from the charts lol.
Xxx

@DJmum83 I would put ovulation on Friday not Thursday with that chart - both re: temps and cf. Just mentioning it as you might want to factor that in to when to test. Looks like you timed things well anyway! Small fluctuations in temp day by day don't mean anything, but it's probably a good idea to stop charting if you're feeling very stressed.

So 11dpo and apps all day period due tomorrow. Did the quickest wee to stop myself this morning as I have cheapies and FRERs sitting there!
Sitting listening to music crocheting and eating salad in peace as in jury service but no cases until at least 2pm they said. Loving the peace.

@lucyrp I ordered a new dress it's like a black jumper dress at the top then like a white poplin skirt at the bottom, then ordered a black blazer and cream blazer to wear with a lace bra under and my leather pants! I was like that!! Took me ages to find something and I'm still not 100% sure on it! You know I've heard that about minis! I want a new car just not sure what to go for!

Hey ladies!! Had ovulation pains on both sides today and a lot of ewcm flo says I'm due to ovulate on Wednesday so gonna DTD tonight, tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday🤞🏼

@DJmum83 if I try to temp, the stress of knowing I need to sleep keeps me awake! 🤪 I've done it enough that I know where mine sits though. So if I can just manage some in the middle around the right time, then that's all I need. I have given up with doing it all the time. Last month I was spot on with when I ovulated and I only temped about 5 days. OPK also helps to confirm.

@paintfairy omg don't insult us all with your temping 5 days and catching it ! If only we all had normal cycles and knew exactly when we were going to ovulate !🤣 I'd love to temp for 5 days, temping for 72 is exhausting. However I am now in the habit of doing it and I wake up every morning at 6:30am to my alarm and do it immediately. My OH always wakes up for DS as I'm such a heavy sleeper 😂

@vil10 get on that 🍆🍆🍆 girl!

No news from me really, just been for a run with neighbour at lunchtime, having a sandwich and had to take the lettuce off because the smell and taste literally made me gag, not reading into it, just me being a funny bugger!

@lucyrp 🤣 My cycle is regular as clockwork pretty much. Still no help though TTC! My issues lie elsewhere. 🙄

@paintfairy rubbish isn't it ! I still manage to catch ovulation every time DTD now but still no hope either and a 14 day lp so god help us 😂

@lucyrp yep. I've dtd the right time every month! 🙈 Clearly I need to do some kind of fertility ritual or something. 🤣

@paintfairy we could try and come up with a naked fertility dance if you want??

So have been selected for a case that is due to last 2-3 weeks. At least I'm not sitting around waiting anymore.

Thanks ladies, sorry been quiet today, been out Xmas shopping like a maniac trying to get all done in one day (nearly did) whilst DS & DH not around & had headache /not felt great.

Go ladies for ovulation whoop!! & weirdly I've got I've of those "I can't see the conversation between @lucyrp v& @Vil10 about clothes/minis etc & now REALLY want to know what they are on about leather skirts etc 🤨😣FOMO 🤔

@DOB78 hi 👋🏼 not sure if anyone replied to you're message as it's been a fast bus already! How are you doing? Where are you in your ttc journey?

Oops you are right @Newbie0818. Sorry @DOB78, we are a friendly bunch but it can be hard to keep track of everyone! Welcome. How are you feeling today?

@Newbie0818 Hi I can see its a super fast bus!!! Its good to read through everyone's journeys. This is our 1st month TTC I'm 15dpo and so far 2 BFNs and no AF so feeling very confused and fed up at the moment. This thread had cheered me though😃

Welcome @DOB78. I have both not been here long and feel like it is a long term home.

Were you on hormonal contraception before? Sometimes that can mess you up.

Hi, I did hop on the previous bus but didn't post much as manic with work etc at the moment. Still on the same, (what feels like) neverending cycle, 15dpo AF due today. No sign of her showing but a dip in temp this morn, BFN at 13dpo, not bothering to test again

Another frame here... Sliced off thumb nail with an axe 🙄 luckily both parents trained in first aid so no hospital trip needed yet...

That was supposed so say another drama, not frame

@Kirky658 I'm scared I've missed it😫

@Minster2012 hahaha we were talking about Christmas Day outfits!

So girls, had ewcm today and ov pains, but not had a high on an opk yet, to be fair I only tested this morning with fmu which I know you're not supposed to do really, and just now so I feel like it's too late and I've drank and wee'd too much today! But surely I can't have missed it?? I usually get pains and ewcm 1/2 days before ov! But then when I've looked back on other cycles I've had negative opks 2 days before ov, so maybe I'm thinking too much into it! Gonna DTD tonight tomorrow and Wednesday anyway to make sure I'm covered!

I'm jealous of you all managing to Christmas shop. The shops are all shut in Scotland still so I've only got the online options. Also here's my Christmassy photo from the weekend including my mulled wine and mine pie 🥧 🍷 🎄 since I haven't been posting until today!

Mince pie 😂 not mine pie!

@Kirky658 ouch! Glad to hear it didn't need a trip to A&E though

Hello
It's a bit manic at work, and a bit rubbish too, then chose the wrong music for the commute back and made me cry, oh well
