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 🤔

@Minster2012 if all goes well then it will only be 39 days long ! That's nearly normal !🥳

@InkyPaper thanks! Let's hope so!

@notyetamumbuttrying woop woop!😆

@Vil10 yeah I know I defo need to go today. I've ordered some new resistance bands for arm workouts and they should come sometime this week so can do some more stuff from home then

@Kirky658 spermmeetseggplan.com

@blodyn91 i thought that was a thing but wasn't sure! I was sure you'd mentioned it before about being more active over ovulation and then after not

Vil10 · 02/12/2020 10:04

@lucyrp yes I love resistance bands! I've just ordered a new glute band, I wanted it to arrive in time for the gyms opening today but I think it'll be longer!I only want to lose weight so I can eat loads at Christmas😂

lucyrp · 02/12/2020 10:05

@Vil10 I've got a couple of those already I've got the old grace fit uk ones that are now the b_nd store ones they're so good. I've got my protein ones this time though! That's my thinking exactly 😆😂

LauraT94 · 02/12/2020 10:08

I guess I'm just lucky haha 😂 I would say they're the 'strength' of your average, every day orgasm. Not the earth shakers you can sometimes get. But still pretty good and lovely to wake up to!

@Smushty14 you really don't wanna know 😂

So I got another negative IC this morning! I know it's still early and I'd be extremely lucky to get a BFP our first month. But I hate all this waiting 😩 just want to skip ahead to 12-13dpo so at least the BFN would be more conclusive! My RHR has been consistently high at 77. Temps did dip slightly on 7dpo, and have risen again past two days. Who knows 🤷🏼‍♀️

Minster2012 · 02/12/2020 10:09

@Smushty14 a new frying pan, is bloody hit him with it if he has 😂

@blodyn91 could be a gun, I don't have one for myself, I have a shotgun license & he has one here so we have a cabinet (I use one of his dads multitude as his dad is shorter, DH is 6'6" so I can't use his) so if it were that I'd def have to try it & you can't take back unless a rifle?? To shoot the squirrels? I've contemplated getting a nice watch but he wouldn't use that

@Franklydear will do once done shopping. Wish me luck

I'm with the no idea @Vil10 & @notyetamumbuttrying hmmm

@paintfairy game here to buy is more expensive but all DHs family shoot as does DH (& I when I can) so we regularly eat venison on a Sunday or I make pheasant fajitas/ pigeon risotto /pheasant burgers so for them they didn't buy any of the meat they shot it, they rear lamb& sheep /chickens & eat that. He's an estate manager for a very large well known estate in Yorkshire so they get a house, car, small holding as part of his job benefits. So yeah ISWYM but for them cheaper, & most guests expected it but the pies were crap 😂

@lucyrp don't say it out loud!

Good morning lovelies! Hope you're all okay! 💞

@Minster2012 wow how cryptic is that, please let us know if/when you find out. We're all curious to know 😂

Minster2012 · 02/12/2020 10:25

Will do @LB20xx

I NEED TO STOP PROCRASTINATING & get on and do stuff FFS oooo but look...Xmas pjs anyone???

@Minster2012 oh shit ! I didn't say anything🤐🤐

Vil10 · 02/12/2020 11:41

@lucyrp I've just ordered the b_nd ones! I think they're called shreddy now! I had some that a fitness influencer had brought out and they were good but heard better reviews from these new ones!

@Minster2012 my OH sent me those pyjamas and put "easy access Christmas pj's?" 😂

Had a shower this morning because DTD last night and was all jizzy inside, come to the gym and I can still feel bits leaking out whilst lunging🤢

InkyPaper · 02/12/2020 11:49

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone, I had a great day 😊

Just got my hormone test results back from the doctors - all normal apparently 🙈 the receptionist was shocked when I said I wanted a follow-up appointment with the doctor to discuss it! 😂 Like, one normal blood test does not mean everything is now working perfectly!

@Minster2012 what a weird way to phrase it! You'll have to let us know when you find out what he's got you 😂 also, holy crap that second pic was accurate 😂 I swear that's why it takes me twice as long to do any cleaning as it does my DH

@Vil10 oh that is just not what you want while lunging 🤢

@Dollybird89 that doesn't sound like a very helpful doctor ☹️ hope AF ends soon for you

lucyrp · 02/12/2020 11:50

@Vil10 she really needs to stop changing the brand name ! That's 3 times now 🙄😂

Vil10 · 02/12/2020 12:34

@InkyPaper happy birthday for yesterday!! It really isn't, how awful is the feeling🤢

@lucyrp I know!! What a shit name too😂

paintfairy · 02/12/2020 12:59

CD1 for me. Officially a whole year of trying now. 🙄 Honestly give up!

@InkyPaper and no! Normal isn't helping me. I think drs just want you to go away half the time. Its hard work.

Minster2012 · 02/12/2020 13:16

@Vil10 lunging the jizz out. Priceless.

@InkyPaper well I've seen a longish brown box in the recycling bin with his name on it so I'm thinking sex toy not gun @blodyn91 get me super sleuth 👀especially as "very discreet packaging"

@paintfairy honestly, f ing receptionist. Like it was easy??!! Keep pushing

So guess who is the twerp who came out shopping on the first day of the shops opening without her bag, purse etc. Yup. Me. Too busy sending DH a pic of my country scandi chic get up saying "too much?" Including fluffy gloves & rainbow sequin doc martens?? This is not going to make corporate hampers. Luckily I had my cards stored in my wallet on phone for online shopping & some cooler younger much more tech savvy mate I know helped me out to Apple Pay in to store. I'm a twat. @Clairey844 @Florence13 too much??

@minster2012 you look so good! Lol to forgetting your purse tho
Meanwhile I'm at my desk, at home, wearing leggings and a jack wills hoodie. 😎

Kirky658 · 02/12/2020 13:29

@paintfairy sucks 😔 but let's be positive, I think 2021 is gonna be amazing for us all xx

Vil10 · 02/12/2020 13:54

@Minster2012 when you put it like that it sounds vile😂

@DJmum83 looking at the easy@home one I wouldn't say it was just yet, for a high/peak it needs to be the same or darker, id say you're not far off though!

DJmum83 · 02/12/2020 14:04

@Vil10 thanks I have ran out of tests.
And can't get anymore until Friday. Do you think peak will be today?
Should we BD tonight and tomorrow?
I'm doing my BBT but clueless with that, I'll attach my chart xx

Vil10 · 02/12/2020 14:25

@DJmum83 I'd say possibly tomorrow?? But deffo bd today tomorrow and maybe even Friday! I can't help with temps because I don't temp so I'm absolutely rubbish when it comes to charts!! I'll attach a pic of my peak last cycle with an easy@home opk so you can see! Sometimes though people are different and your wee might just be a little diluted, I always try and not drink much if I know I'm testing because I've found when I do there was no point in even doing one!xx

Vil10 · 02/12/2020 14:26

@DJmum83 do you use the premom app to go with the easy@home opks? That's what I use to log mine!x

2020mission · 02/12/2020 14:30

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one suffering sudden jizz leakage 😂 I've been going through so many panty liners since starting TTC.

DJmum83 · 02/12/2020 14:31

[quote Vil10]@DJmum83 do you use the premom app to go with the easy@home opks? That's what I use to log mine!x [/quote]
Yeah but it's putting them all at low.
I'll just keep going with BBT and hope I catch ovulation on that. Think hubby will manage tonight possibly tomorrow night but that will be it.
Thanks for your help xx

Minster2012 · 02/12/2020 15:03

Adds "new year lunges with sudden jizz leakage" to new bus title list

@Kirky658 much rather be sat in hoody & joggers (in front of fire with mulled wine?) but got Christmas hampers & a wreath still to make OMG it's 3pm?? Fuuuuck

@DJmum83 I'd agree with @Vil10 I think it's almost there so prob peak tonight or tomorrow morning then OV Friday? So in theory these are the key days anyway xx

Kirky658 · 02/12/2020 15:13

@minster2012 I'd happily swap my spreadsheets for the hamper and wreath 😉 haha!

So forgot that DH was finishing school now at 1pm on Wednesdays til the end of the year so we've been able to have lunch and walk the dog together for once! A lovely surprise
