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 🤔

@notyetamumbuttrying I was in denial I had to test just to stop myself being irrational. I got home and was like come on grow up you aren't pregnant so I ran to the loo and PIAP and dipped it and looked at it and there was a tinge straight away, escaped out of the bathroom and OH was stood right there and I looked at it again and it got darker then 5 minutes later that's what it looked like and I nearly fainted 😳

notyetamumbuttrying · 11/12/2020 22:37

Bless you babe! @lucyrp what did OH say? X

lucyrp · 11/12/2020 22:40

@Vil10 it is a pregnancy test, like I said don't keep any in the house and remembered I had some I bought ages ago when I had to test every couple of weeks to check I wasn't 🙉 I thought there would be nothing and it came up straight away and just kept getting darker 😱

@Katao oh my god is exactly how I'm feeling right now!!! I know I'm so shocked!

@blackcurrantqueen thank you ! Still hesitant hoping it's a sticky one 🥰

@paintfairy so this month I actually did a few things, we've been ttc 16 months I think this month but only charting etc since may time this year, but had problems with a CO irregular cycles etc along the way. So things I did differently :
EPO until ovulation
Ass fruit juice until ovulation
Seven seas ttc tablets!
And I've been going to the gym 6 times a week the last two weeks 🙉 and making more of a conscious effort with eating right

@notyetamumbuttrying he doesn't believe it 🙈🙉

paintfairy · 11/12/2020 22:43

@lucyrp congratulations! 16 months is a long time. I think I need to get me some EPO and ass juice then. 🤣

Vil10 · 11/12/2020 22:44

@lucyrp how fucking exciting!!! Amazing news!!

lucyrp · 11/12/2020 22:46

@paintfairy as long as my period doesn't come it'll be fine but keep thinking it will 🙉 my last shot of depo was June 19 and it wears off as such in 3 months. My periods returned December and then they were fine for 3 months then I had a weird CP experience then it messed me up for ages and I'd just about given up on it I'd got to the cool chilled out stage 🤣

notyetamumbuttrying · 11/12/2020 22:46

@lucyrp aw I bet he doesn't! You've waited so long for this. Congratulations 🎉

lucyrp · 11/12/2020 22:48

Oh girls I'm so scared. I'm actually shaking I feel like I can't move incase I dislodge it or something 🙉🙉🙉 I hate being more aware of what can go wrong 🥺

notyetamumbuttrying · 11/12/2020 22:48

@lucyrp perhaps get booked in for early scan. Should set your mind at ease then x

Katao · 11/12/2020 22:51

@lucyrp and just before your fertility appointment too!
December is looking like a great month.

DJmum83 · 11/12/2020 22:52

@lucyrp massive congratulations so happy for you. Best Christmas present ever.
Have you been temping? Can I see your chart.
This is mine so far fingers are crossed.

Evening to everybody else have had a shit week as you all know with family member passing and now my mum isn't well. She has MS (multiple sclerosis) she is pretty much bed bound with no movement apart from neck/ head she has a blockage in her bowel and looking like hospital in morning if nothing moves.
I just feel so drained, as everything falls on me. Anyways we will see what tomorrow brings.
I'm thinking I'm going to need to reduce my hours at work as mum needing me more and hubby getting fed up of me doing nights.

Sorry for the long moan.

Hope everybody is doing ok.

Xxx

@notyetamumbuttrying good idea! I was thinking about that before I obvs thought I was x

@Katao funny you should say that! I looked at my work rota for next month and I'm working the day of my fertility appointment and I was going to message my boss saying i need to hook it off then I thought no I'll wait until I know I'm not pregnant because I might not need the appointment yet 🙈
