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

How many more 🤔

Sorry not caught up this morning but just going to jump in here to see if anyone can help. Just got this notification from premom! Can't see anything odd on the app but that notification appeared on my drop down screen. Anyone get anything odd from the app? OH wants me to delete the app but I have all my cycles saved on it 😭

Wow this is a fast bus!!!
@Newbie0818 Periods were regular before implant but that totally messed them up. It may just take time for things to settled down. Cant help getting my hopes up and symptoms spotting like a mad woman.
@Minsyer2012 Its a busy time of year for everyone, you're doing a fab job! MIA AF is so frustrating at the best if times but right now its an added pain. This is our 1st Month TTC so I have a long road ahead. I got caught really quickly with my other 2, now 16 and 20 so everything was probably working a little better.
@Juno231 Hi you sound really busy right now, hope you're taking time for yourself.
@lucyrp Hope OH is feeling better soon. men can be so stubborn with their health sometimes, its annoying.

@amy2503 sorry to hear you are feeling so low. It is really hard, and this has been such a grim year too. It's also more difficult in the circs to distract yourself with other things. How long have you been trying?

Will write a proper post in a sec to others but just wanted to answer @Katao personally I wouldn't worry bout the bank thing. It's clearly rubbish yes but unless you click on anything with it it can't "get into your data/hack you/put a virus etc" I mean you could always delete the app then reinstall if you have a log in right surely it wouldn't lose all your data??

@kalidasa around 10 months. It's exhausting emotionally. I'm just feeling sad xxxx

@KATAO I've just had the same thing!!! Don't want to delete the app either so just ignored the message

@amy2503 so sorry you're feeling so low, you're not on your own though, we all feel the same or have felt the same somewhere along in this journey! All we can do is try and relax and take every cycle as it comes, whether you need a little bit of help to get your baby, you will eventually get him/her! Don't worry xx

So I'm getting really fucked off with premom, due to ovulate tomorrow just used my last easy@home opk and premom is still logging it at 0.75 low (think 1 is high) I'm CD18 today and last cycle I got my first high opk on CD18 morning then my peak in the afternoon! But I think my test I've just taken is a high, maybe a low high compared to my previous ones but still! Oh well I'll just get on that penis🍆

I need to stop myself symptom spotting I've had another ride so far on my rhr at 10dpo and I had a huge dip at 7dpo 🙄

@Vil10 that's def your peak though right??? Gotta be!
I'd start to use a diff one as well like Femometer as well

@amy2503 please don't worry about being a downer we totally get it, but I do think you should talk to someone about your mental health (as well as us) because TTC is hard at the best of times let alone in Covid and when your fiancé is also finding things tough and is worried

@kalidasa it dues sound a bit weird, hopefully you won't get a long cycle as you seem pretty regular 🤞🏻🤞🏻. Also on an aside do you mean to often strike through a lot of your text??🤔

@Katao @DOB78 wouldn't be lovely if you have just won some money though 😂🙌🏻but no. Ignore it.

@lucyrp I'm getting excited for you seeing that!! Are you testing??

@Minster2012 well it's the same colour isn't it! But going off others my peak has been really dark so I might just not even bother testing again and just shag tonight and tomorrow to be sure! And use tomorrow as ov day!

@Minster2012 @Vil10 thank you so so much 💛 I know. I've had really bad struggles previously with my mental health,
I don't want it to get really bad, but I just feel everything is so hard at the moment. I really hope all our time comes soon xxx

@Vil10 no point obsessing on it yep just GET ON THAT DICK LOVELY!! And stop asking @lucyrp to test THe DAY After a dip 😂

@amy2503 everything is hard gorgeous. But there are ppl to help, along with us 🥰😘

@clolo OMg That's great! We could be cycle buddies!! 🙌🏻but yours will be fresh transfer. STEP AWAY FROM GOOGLE 😂

@Minster2012 @lucyrp hahahahhaa no I mean is she planning on testing this cycle or waiting for af to arrive!

@amy2503 it is frustrating but there's a few of us that have been here a while and understand. It's been a year for me now. I literally try to switch off to it because otherwise I'll go bonkers. Every month is disappointing but I expect it to be so somehow its maybe easier, I dunno. But I still have fed up days and my DH i don't think really gets it. So it makes it even harder. The whole thing seems unfair but you need to only let it affect you to a degree. Otherwise you'll make yourself ill xxx

@Minster2012 I'll shortly be heading towards FW so fingers crossed no lack of moisture issues for me. 🤣

@lucyrp my rhr isn't matching up to what I think is ovulation and I don't know why, it's annoying me, I had a dip on Saturday and Sunday, and now it's risen by 1/2 annoying!!

@clolo wow so happy for you that it's coming round so fast!! How do you feel about it??

@Vil10 my ovulation on bbt and rhr are the same and I also have a dip on both at 3 dpo but a dip at 7dpo on rhr but not on bbt 🤷🏼‍♀️🤣🤣

@lucyrp urghh this stuff is so confusing!! I'm going to try and not get too consumed with my rhr, especially after some woman on here saying there's didn't have the usual pattern when they got their BFP! I'm excited for you though🤞🏼

Slowly catching up, busy day. Haven't even reached my own last comment yet 😂
Weighing in on your issue though @Franklydear I think it really depends on how you think he is feeling about it. He went quietly to get the tablets so maybe he doesn't want you to know or discuss it at all but equally it might be a relief to him to know you know and don't think any less of him if you know what I mean. You know him best.

@lucyrp you poor thing and poor OH. Hope you both took the day off and can relax after that night.

Hi Everyone,
Hope its okay if I join on this thread. Me and OH have been TTC for for two months now. We haven't told anyone and he wants us to just go with the flow as opposed to obsessing over ovulation dates and cycles...trouble is i'm a planner so have been tracking everything. So I have been following here to keep myself company and thought I would say hello.
Period isn't due until due until the 20th, how does everyone distract themself and stop the symptom spotting? ??

@Vil10 😂😂I would hope you meant that but nothing like putting the testing thought into someone's head 🙄

@paintfairy im sure you will be riding an ocean of moisture for FW. Or DH will. Or his swimmers 🏄🏼‍♂️🏊🏻allllll the images there for you!

@clolo DH has it well easy. It's best not to try think about it, because he will still prob have a mini breakdown when it comes to his bit. The transfer of our embryo should be around beginning of feb. Frozen vs fresh is that the embryo creation for us is already done so it's just the drugs for me to plump up lining, scan me for lining plumpness a few times over a few weeks then "pop it in". For a fresh transfer they give you the drugs to stimulate your eggs, (it's a bit more involved than that) monitor them to harvest them at peak time, take them out, get DHs sperm & put them together, grow them on, whilst you work on your womb lining then put embryo back in, so yours is a shortened version of mine. But a lot of my work is done, and DHs work was done 3 years ago 🙄

@katekam10 hi and welcome to the bus lovely! Your story about OH wanting to go with flow and you not is very familiar, so pleased you have stepped out of lurkerville! In terms of distraction....well we talk shit, rant, and fail mainly 😂

@lucyrp sorry to hear about your OH last night! Glad he's on the mend now x
@clolo hey you! That's great news! This is what I hope happens for me as well...I'm still waiting for the initial appointment and still have hope that it'll come this month!
@amy2503 I've been where you are and it's shit! We're 15 months now but at least know why it hasn't happened. How old are you? Can you start tests yet?
Hope everyone else is well! Just a very quick catch up from me today x

Thanks @Minster2012 I did think that it should save my data but scared to lose it all esp with the fertility appointment coming up. Think i need to get out a pen and paper and write it all down the old fashioned way just in case 😂
@DOB78 I just got another one but for less money, think tgey are playing chicken with me 😂
