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 🤔

@LauraT94 I would love a weekly sleep orgasm! I think DH was awake when I woke up so hope I wasn't making any noises 😂 although also hoping I would and that he would be turned on haha

Joanna1009 · 01/12/2020 22:58

@notyetamumbuttrying I love sleep orgasms! I hardly ever get them but when I do they're sooo much more intense than in real life (just my personal opinion). My orgasms from my OH are good, from my sex toys are amazing but from my dreams....if I could bottle that I'd be some kind of junkie addict 💦

lucyrp · 01/12/2020 23:00

@Minster2012 I've never had a sleep orgasm either ! I don't think .... 🤫

AHobbyaweek · 01/12/2020 23:55

@blackcurrantqueen I'm 5dpo too. I have heard of the sperm meets egg timing but I went with seduce everyday while in the fertile week.

@SarahTTC2020 I also have dreams where I almost orgasm in my sleep and it is usually due to frustration.
My worst thing is getting just to the brink and the DH waking me up by moving or some bollocks.

Dollybird89 · 02/12/2020 02:38

I dont think ive ever had sleep orgasms but i do tend to wake OH in the night manipulating the 🍆 which leads to an epic session .. I always sleep like a baby after.

Do you guys think after af being here for 22 days I could have ovulated? Had pains etc got a feeling I'm not gonna get a break from af for weeks at this rate

Vil10 · 02/12/2020 06:46

@Minster2012 hahaha Thankyou for being my voice of reason😂 @lucyrp also never had a sleep orgasm!

@paintfairy yeah I think things are deffo more complex, but we don't need the added pressure of wondering do we!

So the gyms open again today and I've never been so excited in my life!! Feel like shit with this cold like, I tanned the lemsips and hot water and lemon yesterday so I think I was expecting a miracle or something this morning! Had some unreal sex last night though, I managed to soldier through, and you know when you have an orgasm and right at the start you think wow this is gonna be amazing it was one of those! Anyway hope everyone has a lovely Wednesday❤️

Newbie0818 · 02/12/2020 06:49

@notyetamumbuttrying think I'll have to as have loss of ewcm again and cramps?! What is going on!

@Clairey844 well we both had fertility issues it seems from initial blood test and SA so it'll be a journey for both of us.

@Minster2012 oh definitely, we're starting tonight as have loads of ewcm again. I tend to not bother too much after ov has been confirmed and before cd 10. Timing is everything!
And I am constantly having sleep Os haha! They wake me up!

lucyrp · 02/12/2020 06:51

@Minster2012 hahah I just read your comment to @Vil10 and that's how I sound telling my friend to stop googling stuff and thinking she's got everything. She seems to have self diagnosed herself with so many things recently and I'm like look stop looking it up!

@Vil10 I'm glad I'm not alone! I did exercise 5 out of 7 days last week and I didn't go to the gym last night so feeling guilty this morning but just didn't feel like it. Will have to go tonight. Woken up starving so will most likely eat lots today so need to burn some calories to cover that😂

Also who's ready for a party... Femometer confirmed ovulation this morning and says I am 4dpo 😆 hopefully my temps play ball now. That means ovulation was 20 days earlier than last cycle !

Franklydear · 02/12/2020 06:55

Morning , I haven’t even managed to catch up but reading....
Work is a weird place, got given support info on Saturday, helpline, bla bla... called on Monday to say off, being to hospital, only sorry about that response, came back yesterday never mention again... we are busy but not even a how you feeling?...
I am better, accepting it, being busy is good, no need for small talk with people who don’t care anyway....
@Florence13 hugs, very big hugs
@Minster2012 that’s why the link doesn’t work....
I need to get up and get the mini human ready, I say mini, he is about five inches shorter than me...

Vil10 · 02/12/2020 07:34

@Minster2012 @lucyrp I'm fine and then someone mentions something and I'm like hmm maybe I could have that, then overthink and come to a ridiculous conclusion, so I need people to tell me when to stop sometimes😂

@lucyrp isnt it strange thst guilty feeling after just once!! I used to be so bad with that, I wouldn't let myself have a break or a treat or anything! You go girl💪🏽 also fucking yes to ovulation!!! And being earlier than last time!!🥳🍆

lucyrp · 02/12/2020 07:38

@Vil10 omg I've got to be so careful saying anytning around her because she asks me questions or my opinion and then I might accidentally suggest something and she's like omg I have that and I'm like oh here we go again😂🤣 I felt so bad about not going but I'm reallt struggling for energy this week I don't know why, last week I had loads ! Ovulation was very well covered aswell so fingers crossed 👌🏼

Minster2012 · 02/12/2020 07:43

Morning! How were the sleep orgasms you lucky bitches? So, can you give me & @Vil10 & @lucyrp tips on how to get these illusive orgasms??

@LauraT94 weekly?? @Joanna1009 more intense?? Bloody hell totally missing out now. Mind you @AHobbyaweek I think that would be even worse getting to the brink then stopping! 😜

@Dollybird89 that sounds good but also I think I'd be a bit miffed getting woken up for a session 😛I'd prob deck him!

Get what you mean though @Newbie0818 im enjoying having a bit of 🍆rest & you guys are less right? I need to get back on the exercise tonight @Vil10 & guess who gets to go to the shops on the day they reopen 👋🏻eugh

@lucyrp yayyyyy for ovulation let's hope this is a normal cycle whoop whoop!

@Franklydear a busy helpline, who knew! We are here if you need to actually talk and totally think being busy is good hun. Can I send you a pm?

Dollybird89 · 02/12/2020 08:14

@minster2012 I don't mind it at all... I'm a randy fucker 🤣🤣 even more so after the 2 1/2 year dry spell with the ex . I'd jump on him every minute of every day if he'd let me... I swear I have a man's libido!

InkyPaper · 02/12/2020 08:20

Morning everyone! Wow I missed a lot yesterday! @Minster2012, @lucyrp, @Vil10, I'm with you lot - I've never had a sleep O - I've come close, a couple of times but I've always woken up or been woken up before the big moment 🤣

@lucyrp yay for ovulation!!! Fingers crossed this is gonna be your month!

@Dollybird89 a 22 day AF?! That sounds brutal - is it maybe worth speaking to a doctor about that? (Sorry if you've already mentioned if you are/have been talking to doctors, losing track a bit of who's done what)

It was my birthday yesterday, ate everything that was bad for me and now feel like I could do with the rest of the week off 😂 currently having a cuppa and trying to muster the energy to start work 😂

SarahTTC2020 · 02/12/2020 08:29

@InkyPaper happy birthday for yesterday 😊

@Minster2012 no sleep O but I did dream about a lot of amazing cakes which was nearly as good

Kirky658 · 02/12/2020 08:36

@vil10 we also DTD last night must be something in the air 🤣 so I said to DH well we've had sex now for 7 days in a row, you can have a rest now. And he goes not sure I want to... I've created a monster

Also what is Sperm Meets Egg plan? Keep seeing it mentioned and I'm none the wiser. Answers on a postcard please 😊

So I'm fairly sure I ovulated on Monday. Not to wait and see! RHR seems to be steadily climbing so guess that's a good thing right? 44 Monday 44 yday and 46 so far today....
I have decided I am going to take a leaf out of @franklydear 's book this month and TRY MY VERY BEST not to think about the TWW, not to symptom spot etc.... Remind me of this in a week pls @minster2012 🤣

Minster2012 · 02/12/2020 08:39

Well that works well then @Dollybird89 🤩

@InkyPaper happy birthday for yesterday you deserve ALL THE BAD THINGS! 🥳🥳🎂🍰🍭🍬🧁🥂🍸

My DH had a weird convo with me last night literally before falling asleep it went...
DH "if I had bought you something for Xmas would you want to try it first to check it's right?" (So I thought clothes)
Me "er well if you thought it might be wrong & it had to go back I guess so or you could be sneaky & check against stuff I have, would it be a deal breaker if it were wrong at Xmas??"
DH "it prob wouldn't be a dealbreaker, i would likely use it?"
Me "you can't send back a used dildo"
DH "hmmm no. It's a yes or no answer just answer."
Me "use your noggin make a decision, I don't want a porn subscription"
DH "oooo but I'd use that"
Me "night love"

What do we think he's got me???

Smushty14 · 02/12/2020 08:59

@Minster2012 I've never had a sleep orgasm either 🤣 I haven't a clue what he's bought! It's probably not even what your thinking... maybe a new frying pan? 🤣

@LauraT94 I'm not sure I want to know what your dreaming about 😉

@InkyPaper happy birthday!!

blackcurrantqueen · 02/12/2020 09:06

@Kirky658 SMEP has a free website that explains but essentially you OPK track and have sex every other day from day 8 until positive and then 3 days in a row, miss a day then one say after! Xx

Franklydear · 02/12/2020 09:07

@Minster2012 you guys are my lifeline, never mind helpline... Yes, you can lovely

notyetamumbuttrying · 02/12/2020 09:12

@LauraT94 they are great but odd that they just happen right. Certainly not knocking them! Like you say, a nice easy orgasm without even trying. Mine are never as strong tho. Are they for you then?
@Joanna1009 oh how interesting! Mine are not as intense as in real life. I think maybe once it was and I was like omg 😳 lol!
@Newbie0818 hmm I'm really not sure lovely.

@lucyrp yes to ov confirmation Lucy 🥳
@InkyPaper happy birthday for yesterday! Hope you had a lovely day x
@Kirky658 smep is sex every other day after your period and then when you get peak ov do it three days in a row, something like that anyway.
@Minster2012 ooh very cryptic. No idea tbh, sorry I'm useless 😂

Vil10 · 02/12/2020 09:16

@lucyrp hahahaha okay I'm not that bad!! I'm just a proper over thinker!! You still went loads though!! I find this weather and it being so dark doesn't help either! Eeeeee so exciting!!🤞🏼

@Kirky658 hahaha you've unlocked a sex beast!!

@Minster2012 that's cryptic, I have no idea😂

blodyn91 · 02/12/2020 09:18

@Minster2012 a gun! have you got one already?
@lucyrp low energy after ovulation is very normal/expected (so another sign you have ovulated) this is why a lot of training programs are useless for females as all sport science research is done on men 😒
@SarahTTC2020 I can't remember having sleep O before until the lack of sex after BFP! 🤣 We have been having sex every 10 -14 days but its just not enough 😅

paintfairy · 02/12/2020 09:43

@Minster2012 @lucyrp @Vil10 no sleep orgasms here. Jeez. Hard enough to manage real one's. I've dreamt I've had sex and it's been good and woke up satisfied but there was no physical thing that actually happened, if that makes sense.

@Minster2012 the squirrel thing is weird. I don't eat game or anything and technically its more expensive (if buying, for dog anyway. 🤣) so that's an odd choice. I went for food at my wedding that the majority would just like.

@Franklydear welcome 😊 i dont think anyone expects you to keep up.

@Kirky658 I tried smep one month. Its not too bad as long as you start at the right time (if too early you'll be shattered) but it is hard going and not that enjoyable. Not sure you could do it every month. Didn't work for me either. 🤣 Only tried it once.

Dollybird89 · 02/12/2020 09:47

@inkypaper Drs are aware and not concerned after the 3month with no af. She did however say if it got as though I couldn't cope with it they could give me hormones to stop it but it may delay fertility
