TTC BUS 26 - Stifling chilli foofs with paprika pants & telling Flo 🧙🏻‍♀️she ain’t in our support bubble

[Minster2012]

Flo app telling you AF is due?? Femometer telling you ovulation was a different day? Is that line a high /low/peak or a pube on your OPK?
When TTC feels like a proper TWATFACE, we’ve got each other’s backs. We’ve had trolling TTC charts, f**k boy bodies and a few of us are giving up and handing our bodies to the fertility doctors instead. Maybe they can do a better job eh?

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, be it DTD, SMEP, syringe, IVF we don’t care 🥰

Don’t forget...
⁃ BORIS CAN’T PENETRATE OUR SUPPORT BUBBLE (urgh there’s a nasty image)
⁃ Pets, toys & accessories invited too, Rampant Rabbits 🐰, Fleshlights & dice
⁃ NOTHING IS TOO MUCH INFORMATION
⁃ We are all about the support

Another sneaky @laceymermaid in at the end!

still time for Christmas BFPs and for @Minster2012 to get thrown off Mumsnet 🤪

Don't worry @Catherinettc it's OK 😊 ♥️

@Katao sorry about your BFN! I'm in the same boat, irregular cycle with no PMS signs yet. Theoretically I'm due on tomorrow so I just wanted to test for confirmation if I could drink or not 🙈

@Florence13 thanks! I knew it would be, I don't really know why I took it, just wondering why full flow isn't here!!

@DKDK123 Thankyou, I wasn't expecting anything less was just trying to rule it out as to y my body isn't playing ball this month! Hahaha that would be the ideal scenario!!

@notyetamumbuttrying no idea what's going on, but no stressing today, zen

@Katao so sorry!! Our bodies can fuck right off😂

@InkyPaper I think it's definitely coming jusr whether it turns into full flow or not, or maybe this month I'm just having a super light period?

Awww @Vil10 that's so lovely for your mum crying she obviously loved it so much but shit on the spotting girl wtf??

Loving those nails @AHobbyaweek they are gorgeous! where's the hair?

@Catherinettc that popped up for me too last night as well, cos I thought it was DH's cousin pregnant again (as she had liked it & she looks similar) but then I read it & it's so sad and horrible what ppl had said. I put a list up about my hair the other day alluding that "not exactly the Christmas rainbow miracle I was dreaming of it's bloody close & I feel amazing" cos I'm just so sick of keeping things in now

@Florence13 BOOM for the morning sex! 🙌🏻 and you win def on the being treated to cooked breakfast though I'm cooking eggless blueberry American pancakes now for DS & I

@paintfairy WHAT ITS STILL NOT DECORATED??? get on it. Get off your OH and onto your tree 😂🎄

@Catherinettc oh how lovely to see your little one this morning. I love nice news thank you 😊

@Minster2012im happy you've had a good time this morning 💦😉 I slept with my teenage daughter primarily because her boyfriend stayed on the sofa last night (and I've been 16 once 🤦🏼‍♀️)....but also because the OH got rather drunk and pissed in a bag of the children's charity clothes 😳

@Minster2012 I know wtf is going on with my body!! My friend who I think had IB a few days back has text this morning saying "so that spotting has stopped but my cm is still thick and creamy" I'm like girl you're pregnant😂 it would be perfect for them, she's 25 next week, he's 33, it's their first for both of them, been together 6 years, lovely couple, I'd be so so happy for them!!

@Vil10 I am still spotting, that makes this af 4 days long... unheard of
@Catherinettc bloody people!
@paintfairy @notyetamumbuttrying I can’t believe some people live like that, but then again....
Sorry for all the bfns
@Minster2012 your table sounds festive, glitter makes everything better, where’s that cleaner?
Ds just made a statement, Xmas is more exciting at grandparents house, it’s more of a party, playing games with all the cousins, yes darling, but we’ll have a party all the same... thank fuck he’s going to go nuts with a couple of the presents....

@Franklydear that's the same as me!! This is day 4 of spotting and my periods only like 5 days, so maybe I'm having a light one this time? Wish our bodies would make their minds up!!

@Joanna1009 😳🤦🏼‍♀️
@Vil10 get her to poas and report back

@Catherinettc Aw lovely scan pics 💙
Sorry for the BFNs and AFs guys
Just about to drag my 3 teenage boys out for a walk.... they’re not feeling too enthusiastic about it surprisingly!

Aw I'm so happy for you all getting morning sex 🤣🤣 and jealous... I got up at 6 nervous for midwife appt, but was able to hear baby's heartbeat for the first time 🥰 so now I'm feeling a lot more positive and festive.

@Joanna1009 🤦🏼‍♀️ mine has pissed in the hallway before, so annoying!

@Franklydear she said to me she doesn't want to test yet because she always feels so low after getting a negative so she'd rather wait and see if af shows up on Monday! So I'll definitely be reporting back on Monday, keeping my fingers crossed for her!!

@BlondePotter so lovely you heard baby's heartbeat today!!

@Vil10 my periods are sometimes really light. I reckon it's an age thing? Its really unhelpful though.
And I love friends! 🤣

@Franklydear the guy sounds like an arsehole! It amazes me the things people will put up with. He would be getting his dinner on his head here! Although it wouldn't happen here because my DH actually cooks the dinner. 🤣 Like I do that?

@Minster2012 the tree has lights on? Its got to the point i think no one will see it anyway and we'll have to take it down soon, so is there any point? 🤣

@Catherinettc people are utter bas**s.

@Vil10 I feel the same way as her, I tested at cd 31 on 26 days cycles, it was fairly obvious ... fingers crossed for her
@paintfairy dh is cooking here too, I might pretend I rather eat alone, see what he says 😂 and decorate that tree, it’s for you, not for people to see, I’ll do my nails today, just to follow my own advise...

@InkyPaper @Vil10 sorry about the bfn !😣 at least you can drink to your hearts content over Christmas now! My mum keeps choice fully forgetting I am pregnant and telling me about all the booze she has and I'm like yeah but I can't drink it can I and her reply is "I don't know" well yes you do mother you're just choosing to not!

@Minster2012 yesss to spooning sex !🖐🏼 have fun retrieving foliage for centre piece!

@BlondePotter I keep forgetting you're sarah😂

We've got to quickly run around todag and post a few Christmas cards last minute and then wrap some more presents tonight. Was going to take the presents today too but I like watching people open them 🤣

@Vil10 get her to test! And my periods have always been light since coming off contraception, except for after the northisterone and 60 days of no periods of course.

@Franklydear yes do nails & I totally agree for @paintfairy I do decorations and nails & things to make me happy so decorate your tree of it makes you happy, if you don't want to don't worry bout it, I like the process (except stressful this year with DS) but previously by myself with wine in hand 😂so that would make me happy

@BlondePotter 🥰🙌🏻❤️brilliant!

@Runnergirl1 hope all was well xxx

@paintfairy I'm only 23 so I bloody hope that's not the case for me😂

@Franklydear yeah I can't blame her for feeling like that, I'll keep you all updated on her though!

@lucyrp my thoughts exactly! Ooooo you've told her?? What did she say?? Also how're you feeling lovely?x

@Minster2012 I did suggest it but she wants to wait and see if af arrives, I think I'm more excited than her😂 it could possibly be that, my others have always been heavy on days 1-2 then eased off after, maybe this is a 1 off? I guess time will tell!

@Vil10 get on the booze! Yes I told her last week over text as I wasn't too keen on telling her at all and her response was "nice to be told on text! You can't afford it" so that was that 😂 it was more the case of telling her to get it over and done with really because I knew what she'd be like and she's coming for Christmas. Yeah I'm okay feeling all kind of things but just worried really. Keep checking my rhr and that's hot reallt looking good at all but I've been told so many times to stop checking but I wear my watch every day so it's hard not to. Still getting strong lines on tests so there's no doubt about it but can't help it after my MMC last time 🙈😣x

@BlondePotter so glad that you got to hear baby’s heartbeat, how lovely!!

Sorry to hear some of you are spotting for days our body’s can really be ridiculous when TTC. Whenever I spot I convince myself it’s IB even though most of the time I know it isn’t. I think I’m about 8dpo and because I felt light headed yesterday have decided it might be a symptom 🙈

@Minster2012 @Franklydear we usually have a real one and fall out over doing it. 😂 The decorations are out the leaking loft though, so maybe it'll happen later! I know we should really. I need to bath the dog though.....
I have spoken to a roof man who might be able to come next week. Fingers crossed.

@Vil10 oops 🤣🤣🤣 sorry. I thought you might be old like me. I forget everyone is. To be honest I was on the pill from 15 to 2 years ago so I've no idea what mine would have been like at 20!

Hi ladies,

Just making a brief appearance to wish you all the happiest of Christmases 🎄Very fortunate we are in Tier 3 so can still visit my parents tomorrow as planned! DH and I had a covid test done yday, both negative so can enjoy Christmas safely and perhaps even hug my mumma for the first time in months! ❤️

Had a peculiar early light period, was convinced it was IB, but x 2 bfns later (a week apart) I admitted defeat.. However lots of ewcm here so getting on it for Christmas 😁 here's hoping for a new year BFP.

Back soon and hope everyone is OK. Xxx

@lucyrp thanks ♥️ I don't really drink much but I do like a Bailey's at Christmas so it's nice in that respect that I'm not gonna miss out! Hopefully your mum will stop talking to you about booze soon! 🙈 I know it's hard, but try not to worry about your rhr - there's so much that can affect it, so it's not the most reliable measurement really ♥️

@Kirky658 sorry about your BFN ♥️ so happy you get to see your mum tomorrow! Mine's coming for a socially distanced walk today and I can't wait!!

@Vil10 who really knows anything any more?!! Ooo fingers crossed for her 🤞🏻

@Kirky658 happy Christmas lovely and get on that Xmas sausage for the ewcm! 🙌🏻🎅🏻

@paintfairy well your lights on the tree look lovely it's still festive and yay for potential roof fixing

I've just headed out to get batteries for our outside lights as they are fading. Got wrong size FFS.

Came back to the postman delivering us our £1635 bill for frozen IVF transfer...happy Xmas Minster 😂🤪and an updated costs list so if anyone wants to know any private investigation costs for any fertility things let me know, for comparison etc obviously it's only for our clinic which does both private & NHS (Hull inside Hull Royal) but it's good to know

@lucyrp omgg what😂 "you can't afford it" I don't even know how I'd be able to react to that response😂 at least you've got it out the way now though and it's done! It's understandable to be feeling like that and worrying, and I know it easier said than done especially from someone who's never experienced a mmc, but try not to worry and think about it, or check your rhr!! Also after your success I think I'm going to order another box of the seven seas and give them another go!!

@paintfairy hahaha, well I definitely think it was just spotting, I've got af cramps now and feel like I'm going to be in full flow by tonight!!

@Minster2012 I definitely don't!! Woww merry Christmas with that hefty bill!! It'll be worth it in the end🤞🏼

Also someone help please, do I go for conceive plus or pre seed? I've never used either so wondering if anyone on here has used either and can advise me which is best??
