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

Story so far...

June 24 BFPs
July 11 BFPs
August 18 BFPs
Sep 4 BFPs
Oct 7 BFPs
Nov 7 BFPs

10 BFPs in Dec so far ....
Another sneaky @laceymermaid in at the end!

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

@Minster2012 epic intro there!! 👏🏾
@clolo almost cycle buddies as well as ivf buddies! I was on the champers fri night and beer and red wine last night! 🥂
@Joanna1009 sounds like a tough situation to be in. Have you told Dh that your friend has made that decision because of him? Does he recognise his behaviour and want to change?

Hello, laying in this morning with cheeky dtd, but made to the bus on time
@Joanna1009 I don’t know if this is what you want to hear, that would give me pause to think, here for you if you want to talk to someone new.... I also have few but very good friends, my bestie is legendary...
@Minster2012 we are going to start you a church, reverend style, you already have a following awaiting your book, I want to go to hug you too, plus your village sound fab
Cd 27 and nothing to report, I did have cramps last night but all gone, test arriving tonight, let’s see how long I last, I want to wait until at least cd 30 possibly longer, last month bleeding started at day 32, so might hold for that, I am not a bit drinker anyway and I don’t think a couple of glasses of wine makes a big difference, not like I am going to get wasted....

@notyetamumbuttrying yes, we spoke last night and he said "at this point what I say won't mean much. But give me time to show you..." He's acknowledged that how he's behaved looks, and has been, down right awful (this is all over issues in Jan/Feb). We'll see how he goes. There's always hope ❤️

@Joanna1009 do vent in here, we’re your safe space and never judge you, you’re the only one that can decide to stay or leave a relationship, if only one of us was closer to you, to support you better, it is important to be more than mummy and wifey, I often say that to myself, and god knows I hear it enough (from the wrong person but that’s another thread) don’t worry, I often wonder of topic so much that sometimes you wonder what we were talking about....

I'm still here! At this point I think I'm hanging on to the back bumper of the bus though 🤣🤣 I can't seem to get off I'm too invested in all u lovely, crude ladies ❤🤣

Just spent ages catching up and far too much to comment to everyone individually lol but wanted to say congratulations to @LaceyMermaid 😁😁 I'm 37, 3 older kids at 19, 16 and 13 and just coming up to 19 weeks with my newest baby boy :) not going to lie I'm still shitting myself to start again and feel so old but excited too so don't panic too much ❤

Sorry I haven't commented much its been crazy busy in this house the last 2 weeks and not slowing anytime soon 🤷‍♀️

@Minster2012 hopefully u get some definite answers regarding dates etc soon. It must be so frustrating 😫 but maybe this is how its meant to be for an epic pregnancy and birth story?

We are going into a 6 week lockdown here in Northern Ireland with an 8pm curfew but luckily not till boxing day. Feel so bad for all of u who have christmas restrictions feels like this nightmare virus will never end ffs

Keep those chins up ladies whether its restrictions, bfn, arsehole dh, crazy kids or just life in general 😜 ❤❤

I agree with both @Katao & @Franklydear, @Joanna1009. We hear only one side and you know your relationship, so keep talking to us hun & it's really good he's working on things. You are stressed too, bloody hell we all are which won't help, maybe get different HCG strips 😛.

@Franklydear I genuinely would love to see you wasted one day. Just one day. But not as much as I'd love to see you pregnant so we'll take that instead 🥰😋

@DKDK123 Boris has penetrated MANY a bubble....why do these ladies do it???

@Catherinettc thank you 🥰 it’s a bit scary isn’t it! Everything has changed so much since I last had one but 🤞🏻 It’ll go ok! You’re 19 weeks wow! That went fast (maybe not for you but I remember you getting your bfp!)

Thanks for the new bus @Minster2012 💖 her for the ride again!

Hope you're all okay ladies, sorry I've been MIA, I've been super busy with work, the joys of a family business, you can't say no 🤦🏻‍♀️😂.

Congratulations @LaceyMermaid another seven seas baby!! 👶🏼💜

Apparently ovulation is tomorrow, and haven't had much chance of DTD, but it does only take once so who knows! 3rd week of seven seas, so hoping for a seven seas Christmas miracle! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Here for *

@Minster2012 maybe one day we’ll meet in the middle, and promise to go on a pub crawl with you
@Catherinettc good to hear from you, please don’t leave, and tell us more about what happens, don’t be too quiet
@LaceyMermaid you asked in the other thread, I am not planning to test yet, but dh made me put test in today’s shopping, so now all the bets are off

Hiii,

Long time lurker just checking in 🙋🏼‍♀️

I actually keep an eye on the thread most days but I always seem to be catching up 😂

@LaceyMermaid congratulations!! 🥰🥰 lovely news just before Xmas. ❤️

@Minster2012 ah sorry to hear you were feeling a bit shit last night!! Definitely agree with everyone who said your lovely little frozen one is just waiting for the right time, and it will definitely come 🥰 let's hope everyone is getting used to the lockdown, and clinics can continue in a new normal x

@Juno231 sorry to see AF has arrived 🤬 I kept reading your messages and was sure it was your month! Buttttt there's always a silver lining of being able to enjoy alll the alcohol over Xmas 🥂

Hope all of you ladies are okay 💕 such shit news about the new Christmas rules. We were meant to be spending it in Norfolk with my family who I've barely seen all year, but a 7 hour round trip for 24 hours seems like hard work ☹️ Buuttt just tomorrow morning at work and then a two week break 💃🏼

Happy Sunday xx

@LB20xx I know that feeling on the business front same here

Hellllllooooo pregnant ladies 😆**@KateColx* @Catherinettc* @Runnergirl1 don't worry you can hang on all you like, we will be drinking fir you don't worry. @KateColx yeah bit of a long trip, I think there was a lot of ppl heating off last night and completely ignoring Boris FFS and thank you, I hope our frostie is waiting patiently, I think there's gonna be a flurry of ivf talk here in feb March, hopefully everyone else will be pregnant by then!! Our plans haven't changed anyway which is good in one way and we are so lucky our family is close I know that, except my bro in London. Sending hugs to all who can't see them.

@Franklydear errrr Tuesday? I like your DH all of a sudden.

@Joanna1009 acknowledgement is good. And only time will now, I'm sure you'll see improved actions!
@clolo here's to festive drinks! 🥂🍾 I prob won't actually start until March as our appointment on the 22nd feb is to sign for the funding (and two more tests), so not sure how long that takes to come through from requesting?

@KateColx thank you 🥰

@Minster2012 he is working until Xmas eve, si he is in two minds about waiting until he is off, I am in no hurry for once, so we'll see, I have a hard time believing I could be pregnant straight away, without even a period in the middle, so....

@LaceyMermaid not sure you saw on the last thread but I gave my congrats and thanked you for thinking of us ivf ladies 🥰
@Franklydear you could be lucky, here's hoping you are!
@KateColx hiya! I always remember that post you sent of your lush hair. Hope you're doing well 😊

@LB20xx hope you get your seven seas Christmas miracle!
@Minster2012 hope you saw my post on the last bus x

@notyetamumbuttrying thank you 😊 I know I don’t comment much but I am always here reading so follow all your journeys

@Minster2012 it's tough going isn't it! Just never ends, it's certainly a 24/7 job 🙃

Thank you @notyetamumbuttrying keeping my fingers crossed for these miracle vitamins! 💜

@Minster2012 yay for a new thread with another brilliant name and intro 😂😂

@LaceyMermaid OMG that's so bloody amazing 🎉🎉🎉 so happy for you and yay for another win for the seven seas. That's me, you & @lucyrp, who else has had their bfp taking seven seas?? Sure there are a couple of others?

Xx

@Clairey844 thank you! Those pills are powerful 🤣 just so everyone knows though I did use preseed for the first time too, didn’t track at all and upped my folic acid as I’m deficient in it and had been on a normal dose (now on extra strength ones prescribe by doctor) so could have been any or all or those things!

@Franklydear you never know but I feel you hun, I started to bleed on CD34 and I’ll be honest I took it really rough even though it was an early loss. Here’s hoping we get Christmas miracles without a period in between but you are ahead of me. I’m not due af until 30th Dec so got a way to go yet.

@Florence13 i am counting for normal cyclei haven't tracked, and I had some ewcm only to pinpoint ovulation, no other signs, so quite unsure of everything.... I know, I only knew I was pregnant for about a week, but still hardfelt....

@notyetamumbuttrying yes I did, flick back to where I started to put the memes, great minds 🤪😜mine is like the middle one I put

@LB20xx yes definitely, DH has literally had no time off this year 😔

@Franklydear you can be and here's hoping you are that miracle time
