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 🤔

I couldn't resist commenting on this one!! I used to be a child, now I'm not 😆

@notyetamumbuttrying omg hahahah 😂😂 I love the most recent one 🤣 "don't most people feel like that?" Very true 😆

@lucyrp lol!! Poor OP very silly post though, just doesn't make sense does it!

@LB20xx I had mirena in for 15 years! Had a gap where i had a baby after 3 years then back in for another 12 years

@notyetamumbuttrying someone just posted "well this hasn't turned out to be what the OP thought" and someone replied no its better 😆

@lucyrp I saw 😂 they're right!! It's the best AMA I've ever seen 😆

@blackcurrantqueen hey welcome back! And lovely wreath, loving the cones and def give SMEP a go, lots of ppl rate it, the swimmers in our house just get bored waiting for an egg 😂

Seeeeeee who was it said they had to put a wreath on an actual front door! Nope. Looks great on any door.

Off to look at that AIBU now. Or set up my own
AIBU to to be booted off my own bus for posting about sex kittens?

@Minster2012 how did the squirrel taste?? 😂 😆

@notyetamumbuttrying I genuinely hate to say it but yeah kinda like bland chicken. Squirrel popcorn (like popcorn chicken) at my BIL & SILs wedding no one knew it was squirrel til they were told, it was nice. I've had it since. I didn't read all the comments otherwise would have seen pol put similar!

@Minster2012 just seen your comment on it 😂 I want to add something but I'm not witty enough 😆

@Minster2012 I'm ashamed to say I haven't had sex since bfp 🙈 please don't throw me off the 🍆 bus! DH has mentioned it and I think we were too scared for a while just in case it dislodged it and now I'm 13 weeks and hoping that I'm not having a sexless pregnancy 😂 Will have to be a grown up and talk about it I think.
I haven't had any sexy feelings though, except the other night when I almost had a sleep orgasm dreaming about a woman and a vibrator!

Found you, now to catch up

@notyetamumbuttrying wtaf. 🤣 Too many long words for me. And late. I'm very confused wtaf she is. I was reading a AIBU earlier though- the one about giving up her bed. I can never decide if they are wind ups?

@Vil10 the spotting can be low progesterone. I spot. Well sometimes I'd say it's beyond that. But I had my level checked and it was fine (47) and that particular month I spotted from ovulation every single day to my period. So? I don't know what to tell you!

Haha @SarahTTC2020 I don't think my OH would be impressed with me if I stopped giving him action as soon as we got BFP as he's used to going regularly during TTC 😆 he'd think I was just using him. I do think if I get another BFP I might hold off until at least 6 weeks though for peace of mind as both times I got BFP, the pregnancy ended just before 5 weeks and I worry every little thing including sex could have contributed to that 😬

@Minster2012 bit random to have at a wedding? Did they say why they chose that?
@lucyrp yeah you are, go for it!
@SarahTTC2020 sleep orgasms are so odd aren't they. I've had them before and was so confused by it lol! Glad pregnancy's going well, hopefully you bonk again now that you're out of the first trimester and less anxious.
Hi @Franklydear how are you?

@Clairey844 ohhh okay that makes sense! I had a load of blood tests in summer and all came back fine, but they didn't know i was TTC so suppose they wouldn't think to mention if my progesterone was slightly low! I've done a bit of research and it says spotting for 3 days or less before your period is normal so I won't read too much into it!x

@Minster2012 good point! I think my progesterone is fine, well hoping so, I don't need something else to worry and think about during this whole TTC malarkey😂

@paintfairy I'd say I spot but it's more like if I shove my fingers up a bit further to check the cervix there's a little bit of blood for the 2 days leading up to af, so I just class it as light spotting! I had my progesterone checked but never got told and never asked for what it was exactly, I think everyone's just different aren't they x

@paintfairy It's so hard to tell sometimes! Ppl must be extremely bored to dream some of these scenarios up tho lol!

@notyetamumbuttrying omg the last comment 😳😳😳

@Vil10 on a good month I get it the last 3 days or so before AF. Sometimes it's more. Sometimes light. Sometimes not. I was sure the month they checked out would come back low though and it didn't. But it was a bad month for me. I think things are just more complex than that? Who knows.

@notyetamumbuttrying I think people really do get bored. I literally wouldn't dream of making shit up. But people do. There have been people on past buses that create a drama, stay not long and say they are pregnant and I'm sure there's been some that I honestly don't believe. One particular person several people asked her for a photo of the test and she just never put it on and ignored the questions. But I'm naturally suspicious so it doesn't take much for me to question something. 🤣 There are some horrid people about though. 😕

@lucyrp eek! Poor cow! 😬

@paintfairy odd how some ppl get their kicks eh!

@SarahTTC2020 wouldn't throw you off the bus in the slightest I totally see the concern I think I'd be the same, DH wouldn't though despite the MMC & really intrigued on whether some ppl then lose their libido and others don't! Maybe get the vibrator out when awake?! So you don't have to have an adult conversation! I'm the same as @2020mission I think worrying til about 8 weeks though maybe

@Franklydear how was boss baby? You ok?

@Vil10 progesterone fine. Stop worrying.

@notyetamumbuttrying errrrr they "foraged" a lot of squirrel themselves (they shot them & prepared them), & had rabbit satay skewers (eaten rabbit a lot, it's delish) & venison slices in mini yorkies as canapés. To keep costs down. As you do. However, they had cold game pulled pies as their main meal & like coleslaws and salads on the sides & they were prepared by a caterer but the meat provided by them. Horrible. So dry. We could have made it better between us. Yuck. The cheese board was empty later 😂

Totally feeling left out at never (knowingly) had a sleep orgasm 🤨FOMO

And also a new section of threads to stalk & try send off in weird ways. Fun

Hi everyone
Just marking my place.
Opk are driving me nuts, had flashing smiley for days. Easy at home ovulation sticks not getting any darker. Feel like I'm having ovulation pains today and had egg white Cm.
I'm definitely not using OPK next month as I think they are just stressing me out more.
Congrats to the BFP's so far.

Can't believe the title was reported. Some people really need to chill out.

Xx

@Minster2012 ah I see! Different I guess and one to remember at least!
Yeah they're odd, you wake up orgasming but it's not as strong but you defo know that you did.
Glad you're enjoying the AMA threads. You're welcome 😏

Oh guys 😂 what an exciting first day on the new bus! @Minster2012 you naughty gal, take that slap on the wrist!!

@Gem176 ohhh you sound miserable! I had a cold like that in September and I was SO sorry for myself. There's nothing worse than not being able to unblock your nose etc! Hoping it passes soon for you.

@Juno231 has OH secretly won the lottery? 🤔😂 Can't really help here as my OH is the breadwinner (I only work part time, and he earns about 10x what I do - no joke) and he's also the most sensible person with money! I'm surprised he hasn't made a baby spreadsheet yet! Hope yours calms down on the fantasy spending spree soon!

@Joanna1009 I've had to have a Covid test too today 🤢 was already feeling nauseous and that was just not what I needed!! A member of the family I Nanny for has tested positive 😩

Oh pllleeeeeaaase lets not mention diets just yet?! I've got about 7lbs of lockdown weight to lose so I can fit back into my wedding dress! Our postponed date is in Feb, if it doesn't get cancelled again 😩🙄

@SarahTTC2020 @notyetamumbuttrying sleep orgasms aren't odd, they're the best!! A little freebie you didn't even have to work for. And you get to go straight back to sleep, unlike guys who wake up in a puddle 😂
@Minster2012 I genuinely feel sorry for you or anyone who's missed out on sleep orgasms!! Is it weird I get at least one a week? 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

@DJmum83 I feel your pain about OPK's. this month I had a very very gradual onset, where I had a T/C ratio of at least 0.5 for almost the whole month it felt like. Eventually peaked at about 1.63 on CD17 and the peak lasted a couple of days. Just been confused the whole month to be fair! It only makes sense when you look back at your charts at the end of it all 😩
