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 🤔

@lucyrp no!! If I see a pic of review I might recognise it from scrolling past but the name doesn't ring any bells! I use Mac at the minute, but I think I want to switch to nars! What do you use?? Yeah i hardly ever wear makeup literally never, like you I have my lashes done and brows every 3 weeks so unless we're going out out or for tea I don't wear it!

@Minster2012 Thank you. I just feel a bit let down I guess and sad that I have no idea what's going on in there.
I'm my 20s it wasn't an issue getting pregnant was easy it just happened. Now in my 40s I feel like I'm running out of time.
I also think easy access to the Internet may be unhelpful at times too. But I'm.so grateful for this group 😍.

@paintfairy oh yeah totally! I certainly don't tell everyone. Just close friends and family know now. That person was a bit of cock saying that to you. My colleague is constantly saying shit like that to me as he's had a baby recently. I just go quiet now and change the subject! Knobs eh
@Minster2012 I only wear mascara and my eyebrows 😂 basically have none so they need doing everyday. You had a busy day today?

Hi girls. I've been trying to catch up for 2 days and failing haha you've all been very chatty but I'm finally caught up.

@Franklydear I'm sorry you're having such a rough time with work and your shitty bosses - it's really shocking how some people behave, I mean don't they have families or loved ones?!? Surely they'd have some empathy but I'm glad the union people are helping.

@minster2012 I havnt watched Emily in Paris yet but I've been meaning to.. I might do so while I do my Xmas wrapping too 😊 I don't know if I've mention on previous buses but Hollywood on Netflix is really good & worth a watch 👍🏻

I finally managed to speak with my GP today who was really nice but doesn't want to go down the hormones route just yet. She wants to rule out other causes of the continued bleeding 1st, and to do it in the right order. It's frustrating as i want it to all be done now but I know she's right. So I'm going to EPU tomorrow midday for another scan to check I don't have any retained tissues still (EPU don't think so due to the negative test but gp wants to be extra sure) & she wants to rule out infection too. If it's neither of those then I don't know what the ebxt step is, and if it is either of those then.. Well I don't know either. It's a step at a time situation and I'm trying to not get ahead of myself and think the worst. I cannot believe its the 2nd week in December and this still isn't over... But hopefully I'll have some answers or something soon. Xx

@sausage1999 really sorry to hear you're still going through this. Hopefully this will give you some answers xx

@paintfairy ugh that sucks. It's hard to be secretive isn't it, we also haven't told anyone but I'm tempted to now as fed up of the questions.

@notyetamumbuttrying he has spermicide morphology issues (shape) so the doc says natural conception is unlikely with my pcos as well. I reckon they'll suggest I get all the tube tests etc and then recommend some treatment options. Let's hope it gets things moving 🤞🏼

@DOB78 yes, just try to relax as it can get so consuming.
Oh dear! I thought my libido was bad :/ your dh doesn't know about how often you and ex used to do it does he? That would no doubt make him feel worse x

@Minster2012 yes! Tonight is the niiiiiiight. And this morning is THE consult haha. Can't wait. Oooh get on QB, I think Emily in Paris is my next stop!

Morning ladies nothing really to report here apart from my bbt charts are proper teasing me and I haven't had sex for 6 days because OH has been unwell🥺I do think I'm getting usual pms symptoms though. hope everyone's well. Will attach teasing charts

@Newbie0818 Hell no!!! Its weird his sex drive seems to be there, no problem going solo if you know what I mean. I think he struggles to perform coz he gets in his head too much. Its something we've argued about alot but he never really gives me an answer.

Thanks for your advice it really is appreciated.

@Vil10 sorry to bother you again. I'm freaking out big time this month. I just wondered if you ever ovulate a bit later than when your predicted to? Hasn't shown up this morning and now I'm convinced somethings wrong 🤣

Hi everyone!! I was here back in the summer when we were TTC after our MMC but we've had a few months break due to it all getting a bit too much and wedding clashes next year! Going to be trying again from the end of the month so thought I would pop along and say hi, bittersweet seeing some familiar usernames, hope everyone has been keeping well xx

@amy2503 hey that's happened to me. I was always regular with follicular phase, ovulation, luteal phase and AF always showed up to within a 2 hour time frame every single month. Then it all changed and I freaked out! I still ovulate each (had the odd month I don't but it's rare) month but now I see my follicular phase and obvs when I ovulate is variable each month. My luteal phase stays the same. So each cycle can vary from 26-31 days! But with temp and LH tracking I always see when I ovulate. Don't be worried 🙂

So I'm sat at work moister than an oyster, had to actually put on a pad because of the amount of ewcm 😫 such bad timing 😫

@DOB78 ah I see, that's hard. I used to be like that, got really self conscious, but I talked it through with dh and it really helped. It can be harder for men though :/

Morning ladies,
DH back and I'm spewing jizz😋

@DOB78 I'm the same, mascara & eyebrows 😚, and step away from google

@Sausage1990 oh lovely. Fuck boy body. No words.

13dpo and this is my rhr. Why are my charts teasing me 🥺🙄

@33Carr hello! Welcome back' I remember you 🥰 hope you're keeping well 💓

@Minster2012 im glad someone's spewing jizz, I am very jealous. Hoping OH is well enough tonight otherwise that's it for another week as af due on Sunday 🙄

@Joanna1009 hey Thanks so much. Do you think it's worth me testing again tonight??? xxx

@amy2503 testing LH again tonight? I guess it depends on your pattern. Have you seen your pattern yet in your charts? For example, for me, I have a gradual onset (rather than a rapid onset) and my levels tend to be higher late morning (unlike the afternoons which are more common).
See if anyone else comments too, but I reckon if you're tracking CM and cervix position etc I'd let that guide you. When you start to see fertile changes maybe test 2-3 times a day? Make sure you keep us updated!

@lucyrp Morning! Likewise I remember you! I've been creeping over recent messages to try catch up! Hope OH is back to good health soon!

I'll probably carry on creeping for a couple of weeks as we can't TTC this month as it could still leave us a bit close to the wedding (if it happens!)

Couldn't help myself by getting back on here to help me get back into the swing of things!

@Sausage1990 boss boy doesn’t, and he thinks he should be my priority, the other manager isn’t a mother herself but is at least professional enough to not suggest I make my husband take the toll as I need to focus on him, yes boss boy said that, and then hung up on me when I said no...
I hope you get your answers soon, and can put this behind you
@lucyrp how is dh?

We are getting up later, cos we have nowhere to go.... I woke up to a cough, a runny noise and can’t properly taste my coffee so test for both of us this afternoon, might be the most bad timed cold... school has given us work, divided by day and subject, so might be able to do it this time, looks a lot less overwhelming than the 20 pages booklet they gave us in summer....
Work, I am not calling boss boy, and if he gets his mate to call me ( yes, he does that, the coward) I’ll just tell him to don’t do his dirty work

@33Carr oh don’t you worry about being here and not ttcing,... we do that too

@33Carr he is better than he was no thanks to his boss though! Wasn't amazing when he came home from work but this morning he seemed okay!

@Franklydear yes he's doing okay thank you, much better now I think which is great! How are you keeping ??

@Minster2012 I've been absent and really miss your humour. I can't even say I'm the 'pee on everything' girl anymore 😩
My OH agreed it was worth cutting out the drink for 3 months to see if it helps...then proceeded to continue with a minimum of 4 cans a night 🤷🏼‍♀️ D%#*HEAD! In the meantime I'm expanding my lady w#%k bank. It still includes the cast of vikings, naturally 🤤💦
CD8 and at this stage I think the only reason I'm still counting is so I can stay on this bus with you lot ❤️

@lucyrp stressed with work, or the lack of it, better now I told my union rep, just to keep him in the loop, and immediately took it on so that’s a load of my head, I’ll deal with boss boy in the new year, defo going to let him know that he is my manager, not my boyfriend, and how inappropriate he was/is
Asthma wise I was better, nearly back to normal, takes a while, but woke up today with a bad cold all the sudden, at least that’s what I think it is, will have a test this afternoon, it’s only been just short of a month from the last one😢

@33Carr welcome back!!!

@Joanna1009 OMG bloody men!!! Least he's talking a bit bout it though?? If not doing as much as needed & miss you too!! Though I may have had a bit of a humour bypass lately, sorry. And ohhhhhh the vikings....apparently "industry" is a bit of soft porn too, so adding that to the list.

Quick check in before dog walking so nipping out again

You know BUSY BUSY YAAAAAAAAA

And @33Carr if being here and NOT TTC wasn't allowed you wouldn't have a driver 😂🤣

@Franklydear that's what said OH off on the weekend, hopefully you can keep on top of it! Its horrible isn't it ☹️
