BUS 25-TTC the messiah 🤰spewing out jizz, jingling balls & BFPs for Xmas 🎄

[Minster2012]

Well ladies....buckle up cos this bus is often more like a 🏎🤣

We are TTC in often weird and wonderful ways and that’s the way we like it...long as we are there for each other, which some of us have been for longer than we care to remember 😜. So whether your glass of half empty, half full, a pint glass, a shot glass (a tic tac container?), a mug of tea, this is where we come to refill it...🥰 Mumsnet is our happy place 🥰

Don’t forget...
⁃ No judgement
⁃ 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 😊
⁃ If you have a pet, it’s welcome aboard
⁃ mandatory picture of your 🎄tree /Xmas decorations / Xmas jumper or similar
⁃ Ditto Wreath - extra points awarded if wreath is homemade 🥰
⁃ We may stray away from TTC a fair bit
⁃ NOTHING IS TOO MUCH INFORMATION

Story so far...

June 24 BFPs

August 18 BFPs
Sep 4 BFPs
Oct 7 BFPs
Nov 7 BFPs

7 BFPs in Dec so far ....
Sneaky @lucyrp getting in there at the end 😍

How many more 🤔
Can we birth the messiah???
Or will we get thrown off Mumsnet??

Both me and D's still up, we have the potential start of a fever, DH said to wake him up if it gets to 38, as he won't be able to go to work until we're tested, D's has, kinda not consistently but more than 37.5, I am building up to 37, I barely ever go any higher than just about 36

@Ahobbyaweek aaaaahhhh thanks I've seen BBT talked about but haven't really looked into it. Thanks I'll do some research

@dsr87 congratulations. I read your post as excitable! Hope your lines get darker in the coming days 😀

@DJmum83 you must be so frustrated with your frers not showing up! Hope you get some soon.

@amy2503 glad you got there in the end and sounds like you two are ok. Agree with everyone, best to keep him in the dark from now on 😉

@Minster2012 sounds like the day started as it was going to go on 😬 af is a pain but at least it will be done by Christmas. Hope it works out date wise for transfer. Definitely understand your frustration with dh and his holiday talk.

@Franklydear hope ds is doing ok and you are both getting through isolating ok . Def watch love actually.

I have been catching up in chunks all day but hadn't time to reply so just replying to what I can remember now 😬 cd 16 so thinking I'm in the tww by now. Based on average cycle length (irregular) my apps are predicting af for either Christmas eve or Christmas day so that's a bit shit. A Christmas bfp would be wonderful obviously but more like I'll be hit with a visit from the witch on the big day 🙄

@Franklydear sorry to hear your both not well.
Hope if you have to get tested it's negative.

My hubby is the same girls.
He asked if I thought I was pregnant tonight, I said I don't think I am this month. Just not feeling it.
His reply oh that's good mind I have a stag doo next August and you would be due then. ( What a twat) xx

@Minster2012 just read what you're argument was about - sounds like my OH to a T! He always plans trips with his mates first and THEN tells me about his plans

@DJmum83 I don't know if you guys can tell this about me, but I tend to obsess about stuff, I think I just have a case of tiredness and being too coop up...
Ds temperature is going up, I got a couple of 38.somethings on skin, missing my good old mercury thermometer, never in doubt with that one

Might be a good idea to book someone tests @Franklydear now DS has symptoms. I hope it works out ok for you both
@Minster2012 @Skip86 paprika foof sounds painful... kind of glad AG if here for you @Minster2012 so you can proceed with appointments for the new year. Feels wrong saying it!

Oops meant AF!

@Franklydear I am the same my wee boy gets stomach migraines and when he gets them his temp rockets, I'm a born worrier.

Hope you both wake up feeling better xxx

Aw @Franklydear just read your update sorry, have you given something for the temperature? Hopefully starts coming down soon .

@clolo that's tough about SIL announcing number 2. Great that it happens so easily for some but definitely salt in the wound. Chin up 🥰

@Franklydear yeaaaaaa that's not ideal for DH oooopppps. I'd take the 🍫

@AHobbyaweek can that dick do that?? But would you buy my spin off book?

@amy2503 let's hope you don't need that next month

@DJmum83 ah yes of course the funeral tomorrow I remember sorry for forgetting 💐I'm hoping the temp difference means AF isn't coming & weds is on for FRER. We are v fortunate with both mine & DH's parents close so Xmas day is us & my parents at ours then Boxing Day we are going to his parents where his sister & our nephews live next door on their land so is that one household (MIL looks after her 2 kids 2 days a week & I see them outside on Thursday) but that's who we see currently anyway so me & DS are seeing my brother & his GF & their DS (8 months) on 27th but in between areas outside. So technically 4 households I guess but my in laws are on one site and walk around each other's houses every day 🤷‍♀️ so they would all have it

@clolo nooooooo that's awful for you on SIL but don't let it piss on your parade. What did you say? You got this 🙌🏻and honestly bloody men they just don't think or don't realise AT ALL. We can lament together!!! And if you need anything on ivf let me know!

@Franklydear ive no idea what my temp is usually?

@Katao on Calpol/nurofren combo since lunchtime, I also want to make sure I am not just panicking, @LaceyMermaid he had a test on Friday, results negative on Sunday morning

@Minster2012 I didn't know either until April, DH insisted I checked everyone when I shielded and he was going to work

@Katao heyyyyy!! Another hopeful Xmas 🤞🏻just tell witch she ain't in your bubble hasn't she heard?!!

@DJmum83 🙀it's such a shame he might not be going.

Oh yes @Juno231 constantly. Since I introduced our shared calendar he's got better (as in "if it ain't in the calendar it ain't happening mate" and vice versa if I put something in then it stays, girls trips happen too)

@LaceyMermaid it is good. Painful though! How are you?

Hey all!

@Minster2012 😂😂 about the paprika leakage on the radish baggies...remind me to watch out for any I see for sale advertised as play wear 🤣
Btw I absolutely would subscribe and thoroughly enjoy your blog; you have a way with words.

Not sure I ever shared when we last did the poo conversations but I think I can trump the dog eating toddlers shit with toddler eating own toddlers shit. I potty trained her mega early so from pre 1yr old she always poo'd on the potty. Got in from somewhere and sat her on the potty whilst I ran upstairs to get her a change of clothes and came down to her off the potty, evidence of a poo but no actual poo and then looked at her and she had it on her hands and round her mouth. I literally gagged, ran her upstairs for a bath and phoned 111 whilst she was in there,convinced they'd have to pump her stomach. They were very blase and more intrigued that a 10m old had done a poo on the potty and basically said it was fine 🤢

Just having a catch up-been at work today, dreading one of my class getting covid and having to isolate all over xmas so roll on Friday!

@Franklydear your poor son, your friend sounds like a real gem.

@Skip86 paprika foof 😂 oh the relief when you realised your lp wasn't getting shorter, you just had the spice rack in your knickers 😂
And jumpers in 24 degrees-half of the uk head the local park topless with a can of stella on the go when we hit 24!

@DKDK123 welcome back, I recognise your name 💗

Congratulations on the BFP @Dsr87

@AHobbyaweek how's jury service-getting lots of woolly socks knitted. Btw is that how you spell woolly? Tried a few combos before realising I have no idea how many os and ls.

@DJmum83 good luck if you are testing tomorrow 🤞🏻 ignore that, I mean Wednesday (just read further down lol)

@Juno231 I'm crap at temps but things sound good from what you've been saying.

@amy2503 we had it too-oh has never struggled to finish but when he knew that it was the important time of the month he literally couldn't! I think sometimes men are better off being a little more oblivious 😘

Night all x

@Franklydear I'm so panicky about temperatures too , abd they always happen at night so you end up in and out all night feeling their forehead even if they sleep!

@Minster2012 lol I'll send her a memo now 🤣 take Christmas off bitch! 🤞

@Katao the more I checked, the more inconsistent it is, I don't want to wake DH for nothing, I can always tell him in the morning... I don't mind staying up, not like you can sleep with that on the back of your mind, and my plans for tomorrow cannot be cancelled anyway

@Clairey844 she is, she even brought chocolate with the medicine, of course I found the tenner I sneak her in the bag back, I'll get her some lovely wine for Xmas, she won't say no to that

Ok, temp down to 37.5, so going to try to sleep a little, looks like D's will play ball so, see if tomorrow I can say it was all a bit of an overreaction

@AHobbyaweek "We suffer in different ways". So matter of fact, but so very true 😂

@clolo say what?! Does she know you're ttc and ivf planning?? That's super insensitive..

@Dsr87 congrats love 💗

@Katao eerg af on Chrissy day would be true balls, but I hope not 🤞🏼

@Minster2012 I can 100% understand ring pissed off at oh making those plans! Why do they all do this?! I'm sorry to hear late af may push transfer back, I have all the things crossed that the stars align for you.
Oh and I NEED to get a shared calendar. If it's not in, it's not on.

Group consensus is the Love Actually, actually is, all around. Which means @Juno231 is actually a crazy person for not liking it?!!! 🤯
And @Franklydear WATCH IT NOW.

@DJmum83 oh shit did he really say that? 🙄🙄 men huh?

@Clairey844 she did NOT?!!!! Bahahaha 🤣🤣🤣 and I love that you rang Emergency! I wish I could have a recording of that conversations 😂🤣

@Franklydear how is everyone in the Frankly household this morning lovely? Xx

For anyone who's interested, the paprika dissipated and no AF yet for me (but fully expected in 3 days as we are not TTC, I'm just here for the lols xx)

@Skip86 better thanks, ds temperature calmed down last night, and this morning is nearly normal, yes ninja mum taking temperature of sleeping child, I slept a few hours but woke up when dh went to work and couldn’t get back to sleep, so having coffee and bread with butter, we might need another day in pyjamas and telly
I’ll try to get a chance to watch it, how saucy are the adult bits? ds has the ability of getting everything I am watching even on the iPad, we have a funny anecdote where we were watching a crime thriller series, and ds on iPad and drawing at times, and at one point he got up and pointed at the telly to complaint about a hole in the plot which he explain in detail, using name characters, so much for not watching....

Morning ladies

And @Katao good. Tell witchy she no invited.

@Clairey844 errrr voodoo magic you potty training your girl?? You win shit gate 😹💩kids & dogs are filth but you are clearly magic. All kids to @Clairey844 for toilet training.

@Franklydear how are you both?

@Skip86 your paprika pants has gone cos it's come here. I'm still hoping yours magically stays away anyway. Just in case you caught some pre cum y'know 🤞🏻& get on the shared calendar cos you should have a spa trip & more after he has surf trips a plenty?

Where's @Joanna1009 at? After a bit of stress last week? You alright hun?

Well def "full flow here" so going to call clinic first thing. I just hope feb is still an option. On even sooner (no chance) 🤞🏻. CD1 reset here we are.

@KateColx omg thats exactly what I said about love actually! Suitable for watching anytime of year!😆x

@clolo thank you so much, I'm so anxious about everything but trying not to think about it too much and just enjoy it all 🥰

@Minster2012 ds asleep with good temperature, I am watching the bbc and here, I can’t get back to sleep, spidey senses not calm yet
We have a share calendar, as dh doesn’t even open it, sometimes I screenshot it and send it to him in wassap, chances of him writing on it, nil to none!, I also do that with childcare emails, only to receive a wassap question later, scroll up darling.....

@Franklydear yes but if he develops symptoms you need to get him tested again as it only tells you if he had it on Sunday and he’s been in contact with someone so keep an eye on him. Glad to hear he’s better this morning though, this virus is a nightmare.
@Minster2012 good thanks, 12dpo not testing as I’m fully expecting af 🥒 last few days of work (teacher). Christmas dinner for 60 7/8 year olds today? Yes please! 🤣
