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 🤪

@DKDK123 yep.. so I reckon it will probably come in the next 48 hours or so... I've been feeling the period signs for a week already which is so crappy. It's just a constant reminder 😥😥 just want it to arrive so I can start trying again next month haha xx

@Minster2012 yep off to get some lucozade lite feel like such a lightweight haha 😂

@Juno231 sorry to hear hope it’s all better for fertile week for you.

@paintfairy yay to being cycle buddies kind of hoping af doesn’t show for either of us then we can end the year on a super high.

@Tournesol90 aww you to, let’s hope af stays away.

@amy2503 so sorry to hear your body is messing about it’s so frustrating when TTC

@Juno231 hope the cyst passes soon, enjoy your Xmas, I feel I have no hope to diet, at least I didn’t put any weight on so far, @Minster2012 Xmas is not finish until Reyes, ds is constantly asking how many days to Reyes coming, I feel he needs a second advent calendar....🤨
@DKDK123 ds is about 10.30 if we let him and he goes to bed late, way to late, but at 2/3, it was about 5 am....
@amy2503 I hate the uncertainty....
We have turn in one of those every morning couples, see how long it last

@Juno231 maybe tone down the booze a bit then, it's very good for losing weight initially anyway, with drinking more water, on the fertility tests they usually explicitly say but if it doesn't then yes cos they usually ask questions of you both like how much alcohol you drink things like that! And that doesn't sound fun with the cyst and swollen foof, do you have to do anything?

Ahhh @Tournesol90 I get it now it's me not up on the acronyms 😂! But you say that and i got a BFP last feb after a VERY heavy Xmas, ended in MMC but unlikely to be from the booze.

@amy2503 I was going to ask if you've tested yet if it was on a cheap test there's still a chance for you hun 🤞🏻🥰

@DKDK123 we've had various stages of getting up around that time etc but he seems to have settled on around 7.15-7.30 usually (which is after DH & dogs gets up) then now it's got later which is fab over the holidays for a 2.5 year old!

@Franklydear more excuse for choc! Love it!

@Franklydear probably the best way🤣 every month I tell myself I'm going to make sure we do it regularly all they way through the month. But once I know I've ovulated and we've gone for it, we just end up having to have a break because we get tired 🤣 I really wish my period had come and gone as my fiancé has time off work. It's just typical 🙄🙄🙄

@amy2503 there's still a chance it could be a bfp but if it's not going to be then I hope AF comes quickly for you so you can get it over with and back onto the next cycle.

@Franklydear my DS is 3 so there's still hope on the horizon for lie ins eventually 🤞

@Minster2012 thanks lovely xxxx

@DKDK123 I know it's not, I know my body so well- I just getting so frustrated as I've had period symptoms for a week already and it's not even here yet 🙄🙄xxxxx

@Mrsbear1122 congratulations!!

@amy2503 sorry that your body is pissing you off!! It's so frustrating when you're TTC! I've ordered more seven seas too!! I tried one packet and took it a few days late and haven't tried them since, so ordering a couple packets to start next cycle as I'll already be CD12 by the time they arrive!

@Juno231 ooo the swollen foof and cyst doesn't sound fun!! Hope that eases off soon!!

Hey ladies! Finally just caught up on the last few days! Hope you all had a lovely Christmas 🎄♥️

Massive congratulations @Mrsbear1122 another seven seas miracle! 🥰

On the subject of seven seas, I've missed the last 3 or 4 days of taking them with all the Christmas hustle and bustle! Hoping I've not jinxed myself by forgetting to take them 🙃😫

@LB20xx don’t worry I missed a couple and still got a bfp

@LB20xx I'm sure some seven seas is better than none!

I've just had cheese & crackers for lunch 🧀
Well it would go to waste otherwise right?!

@Juno231 yes bring oh to the assessment. We were told if oh's don't make themselves available the doctor might choose to discharge us from fertility treatment 😨

@Minster2012 mmmm you can never go wrong with cheese and crackers!!

So I'm feeling slightly emotional, it's coming up to nye which is the night (last year) we had a really big heart to heart and decided that I would come off the pill end of jan, I know it sounds dramatic and technically we didn't start until may, but I can't believe it's almost a year since we decided to start the journey and looking back how naive I was and excited because I thought I could've had a bump by Christmas 2020! I think my New Years resolution, as well as losing the weight I've been on this year, is to let things happen, if we get pregnant naturally then amazing, if we don't and it gets to April/may, then the doctors is the next destination, I need to stop worrying over all this TTC shit!! I go through stages, 1 cycle I'm like yeah af arrived okay, next min I'm like wow you bitch!!😂

I'm feeling similar @Vil10 I was devastated last cycle when af arrived. Pretty sure she is going to arrive today and I'm not that fussed. Wasn't really expecting anything different. I feel like I can't keep putting the emotional energy into this anymore. Just need to let it play out now

@LaceyMermaid oh that's reassured me there is still chance then! Fingers crossed 🤞🏼

@Minster2012 that's true! Only time will tell if they help this cycle at all! 🙃

@Vil10 that's a totally understandable reaction hun, as we've said before, we have it rammed down us for so long to be careful NOT to get pregnant so we think it's pretty easy to do but obviously not always the case 😩 and @Katao too I think it's so hard trying to think else what can we do whereas actually it's not much I'm afraid 🙄. But we can definitely be here to support each other and try and help that way 😘

@Minster2012 absolutely. The support makes a big difference! My first took ages to concieve and I didn't know anyone else who struggled conceiving so it felt lonely. At least through this group you see all the various journeys and that people get there in the end. I'm still hopeful it will happen eventually and i do havethe appointment in January to hopefully help but i have started giving it less headspace as feel it is out of my hands mostly

@Florence13 wishful thinking! 🤣
@Vil10 We actually started in December properly, so it does feel weird that here we are a year later and nothing has bloody happened! I did say I wanted to get pregnant in December for a September baby but I obviously didn't make it clear to the universe which year. 🤣 Or century even. Must be more specific.....

@Juno231 sore foof? God that's unhelpful! Happens to me sometimes but it needs to have better timing than the FW!
@amy2503 I hope something happens for you soon! Either way.

Absouktely gutted looks like I've had a CP so off the BFP list. I'm blaming covid for messing with our reproductive systems!!!! Off to find some pate and wine.......

@DOB78 oh no, it's the worst feeling in the world

@Katao that's good, and even if it's just a lot of support then happy to help 😘, and also I think it's really good there's a few ppl at that stage to lend support at the appointments stage too

@paintfairy bloody hell can't believe you didn't make it perfectly clear. Silly.

@DOB78 oh no I'm so sorry to hear you say that. Gutting. Hope you've got some good wine. Must say I'm not a pate fan.

@DOB78 so sorry to hear this. Sending love your way x

@DOB78 so sorry to hear! Enjoy all the wine and pâté 💐

@DOB78 really sorry to hear that.

@Minster2012 I know! Silly me.

@DOB78 oh no I’m so sorry to hear that 😪
@Katao @Vil10 also sending hugs to you both it’s so hard
