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 🤔

Argh I'm so pissed off! Hubby has his second sperm analysis on Monday which would be cd 20. Now I'm sure I've not ovulated, and going by the previous 3 cycles I seem to ov cd20-21 and we can't do it for 48 hours beforehand 😫😫😫 what do I do?? Not that I have any particular chance....

@clolo ah sorry to hear that, let's hope they get you sorted quickly 🤞🏼
All they said about DH's sperm is he is "sun fertile" and the doctor seemed to think with both of our issues it would be unlikely to happen. I suppose I'll find out on Friday what they want to do 🤷🏼‍♀️ they'll probably need to check my tubes, whether I am actually ovulating or not and amh before anything.

@DOB78 I feel the same with the pill dw, just regret ever going in and messing with my hormones. That sounds like ovulation cm, so keep DTD I reckon!

@Minster2012 thank you! The webinar I was on last night had a video and diagrams which were soooo helpful. It sounds awful but I'm willing to try anything now! @Juno231 definitely do it, it's interesting :)

Argh another slight temp rise at 11dpo🙄 I am not looking into Anything. Nope 🙉

@Newbie0818 50 hours before??? 53 hours before?? I mean Sperm lives for 5 days tight so the days leading upto it you have a chance lovely. I'm not sure I would have wanted to have heard ALL the info first in a webinar, just do it!

@Florence13 the crumbs are even by my shins? How does that happen?? Best give it a sweep before DH comes back tonight, and i mean THE BED as well as my cavernous foof @Juno231 which yes it could be crumbs from there I guess though we've given it a good sluicing out recently 😂

@JustMouse eek least I got a decent nights sleep, hope you feel ok

@lucyrp cool as a cucumber over there you!! Not!

I think I have a BFP!! Can't believe it! So so happy!

Going to go buy another test...just to make sure. AF late but really felt like I was going to come on yesterday .

Have been 'symptom spotting' like crazy - couldn't eat that lovely cheese I got from the farmers market etc.

Better call GP and get my thyroid meds upped ASAP.

Can't wait to tell DH tonight!

Sending love and loads & loads of baby dust to you all. Fingers crossed for a bumper Xmas bus!

Congratulations @NotMeekNotObedient!!!

Oh wow @NotMeekNotObedient amazing!!! 🥰🙌🏻🎄it's soon for you right? As in another early BFP in TTC? Was it the soft cheese from the farmers market?!! Am I thinking of the right person 🤔that's fab though xx

So no sign of AF yet. I'm only one day late and had that BFN yesterday. Having normal sort of feeling/slight cramping I would have with AF but normally I would start before that.
Not looking forward to sitting around all day with this odd aching and wondering if AF has come or not.

@Minster2012 Thank you! Yes that's me, not been trying long, wasn't planning to start until my December cycle actually . Feeling very happy and lucky to have caught so quickly.

@AHobbyaweek Thank you! Sorry to hear about your BFN. I felt the same yesterday, had a few cramps and felt a bit sick so was convinced AF was coming. Will be keeping my fingers crossed for you, maybe give it a few days and test again if still no sign of AF?

Yes might be a bit early really as technically only 12dpo but my Luteal phase is normal only 11/12. Maybe it is longer this time?

I will have an extra gooey soft cheese board in your honour at Xmas @NotMeekNotObedient seeing as you can't now 🤪😜but maybe your egg like a quick fondue sesh first?! Oooo with lots of charcuterie on the side.....yum yum. Must add that to Xmas food list! Adding you to bumper Dec BFPs 🥰🎄

@AHobbyaweek you could always go for a MASSIVE pad and treat it like a big cushion to sit on instead?? Win win? Ish??

@Minster2012 I most definitely don't have the 🥒 status like @Franklydear🥺🤣

@lucyrp that's true. Blame @Vil10

Shall we have an appreciation moment for beautiful Yorkshire 🥰

@Katao

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 😭

I got it as well. I contacted Premom support team and they told me it's no hacking or intentional spamming and it was caused due to an error. They have fixed it now. I'm glad to know all my data are still secure.

[quote Vil10]@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🍆[/quote]
Your test seems close to positive. If possible, I'd recommend you buy some new strips and keep testing in case you have darker test result in the following days.

@notmeeknotobedient yay congrats!!
I'm now 9dpo. Just got a feeling this isn't the month. Mum phoned other day and asked if prosecco was OK for Xmas day and I said yep mum as it's unlikely I'll be pregnant anyway!!!

Congratulations @NotMeekNotObedient.
@Minster2012 that's fab!
Thanks @AlisonT13 phew!

@JustMouse sorry OH is pissing you off!
@amy2503 how are you feeling today? Better I hope.
@Newbie0818 uh that's awful timing but for the great good. I guessjust time it as close as allowed and as soon after so you are still in with a chance.

@AHobbyaweek hope af stays away again today.
@lucyrp oooh sounds good. Hard not to read into these things 🤞
@Juno231 early to bed tonight! Sorry about the work anxiety. Will you at least get a decent bresk for xmas?

@NotMeekNotObedient wow congratulations!! Amazing news!

@AHobbyaweek hope af stays away for you!!

@Minster2012 @lucyrp hahaha my bad! Yasss to temp rise again though!!

@Kirky658 Thank you! Careful, now you've said yes to prosecco you may have jinxed it! 🤞

Thanks @Katao

@Minster2012 lovely photos, looks magical there.

@Vil10 don't get too excited I had a temp rise but my rhr has gone down🙉

@Katao yes thank you- ovulation sticks are confusing the hell out of me still so I'm getting frustrated with them, but hoping me and my partner can have a relaxed night tonight as my step-girls are at their mums tonight.
@JustMouse I'm sorry, I'm the same, I've cried so much about it all. I hope your husband was supportive?
@Newbie0818 my fiancé is a mental health nurse working with kids xxxx

@lucyrp don't worry about that!! I've seen a few women on here say their rhr didn't do the usual pattern when they got their BFP!!

Ewcm again and ov pains in my right today it was my left the other day, but I'm not complaining! Had no easy@home opks left but had some of those thin ovaview ones and just got my peak so presuming I'll ov tomorrow! DTD tonight and tomorrow, getting pregnant this month would just be perfect for me but obviously because it would be perfect you just know it won't be the case😂 buttt here's to hoping🤞🏼

@amy2503 sounds like that is just what you need!

Good luck @Vil10!!! I know what you mean, seems like the more it would suit the less likely it feels 🤪

@lucyrp I am in limbo, no 🥒, don't even know if I am dpo yet, I guess so cd 16 here, usual cycles 26-28, who knows

Sorry, I'm just passing by. My heads splitting from ear pain. But good news theres hard wax in on top of my ear drum and shes 99% sure that's the issue. Thank god 🙌
Plus my apps say I'm in FW and look what I just got. Peaks 🥰🥰 maybe I will get my rainbow baby bfp for Christmas (2 different tests using same urine )
