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

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 🤪

@Skip86 OH birthday is on Tuesday, we promised no Christmas gifts for each other and he went ahead and bought me a mega gift so I had to blag it and give him his birthday watch for Christmas. We are now in a full lockdown and I live in the arse end of nowhere so totally fucked for a birthday present 😭 send help!!

Anyone want to play "wtf is my body doing this cycle"? I have no clue 🤷🏼‍♀️

Few missed temps due to flying and travelling.

Flippin period pain has me awake half the night, I've given up and got up 🙄

Welcome back @Gem176

@Justanothercyster I'm going to say you ovulated in there somewhere between cd24 and 27 when you didn't temp. Lines up wth ewcm. I know the temps after are still too low but you seem to have a general rise going on. Would all the travelling, time difference etc mess up your chart? I mean I know nothing really and completely sleep deprived but there's my twopence worth 😂

@Katao I'm the same, it become draining doesn't!

@Minster2012 you're right!! I always always so so cautious with my pill and stuff just in case and now I'm like woww! Glad I have this group though to vent and rant!

@paintfairy hahahaba damm!! You don't realise when you start TTC what it all involves do you!!

@DOB78 ohhhh no I'm so sorry!!

@notyetamumbuttrying Thankyou lovely! I really hope 2021 is the year for us all!!

@Mrsbear1122 yeah I definitely think relaxing more, even though it's so hard to do, is the best thing, I stopped seed cycling a few cycles ago and have only been taking opks the last few near ovulation just to double check, but don't think I'm going to bother this next cycle!

@Florence13 glad it's not just me!! Isn't it strange how during the TWW we convince ourselves we've felt a twinge or something all to get our period the week after!!

@TTCAbroad welcome back!!

@Gem176 ohhh so sorry you had all that going on and a hospital stay!! Hope you're feeling better now??

@Gem176 aah I'm sorry you ended up in hospital! That must have been a really bad chest infection! Imagine getting the rona on top of that 🙊. I can't believe your OH ambushed you with a gift even though you agreed not to do any - that's happened to me once before and OH got torn a new one 😂.

@AHobbyaweek @Minster2012 see i love shows like Dr pimple popper and I'm always trying to pick my husband's back - but the cyst is not as rewarding as you'd think! Partly because it hurts so much to do it and partly because the stuff that came out was so watery and bloody 🤮

@Florence13 I totally fell asleep last night sorry! When is the 30th night? And let's hope the lightweight one 2 Proseccos isn't cos you are a lightweight 🙊

@AHobbyaweek stay busy!

@TTCAbroad hey welcome back! Sorry about the MMC, Skiing & wine over Xmas sounds lush!

@Skip86 butt plug or mouth plug? A gag? Condoms that you've put needles through??

OMG @Gem176 of course get back on bitch and that sounds awful! I was hoping to get the naughty elf shots, I thought you just didn't want to share them...turns out you had come up with a much better excuse! And you got yourself out of the Christmas situation so what about the old classic of "well I had planned a weekend away for your birthday & was in the process of organising when I was ill but obviously that went tits up cos of ill & lockdown again so here's an IOU for a sexy weekend away when we can...oh and in the mean time a butt plug?"

@Justanothercyster errrr fuck boy?!

@Juno231 🙈🤢🤮least it's on the way out now though!!

@Gem176 welcome back.

@Minster2012 no worries hun. Haha I know two days to go until I find out if I’m imagining everything or not.

@Vil10 I know it’s so frustrating haha especially that pms gives similar symptoms.

@Justanothercyster travelling does mess it up if you do it just before O time? So it might be that.

@Juno231 @AHobbyaweek I've had 'spots' and they always seem to be in the same place. I'm not sure if in the same area you are talking about though? Kind of- underneath but where hair would grow?

@Gem176 I think we all need time out sometimes! Welcome back!

Skiing was amazing. As was the wine and huge amounts of soft cheese and cured meats .

Excited to be back on the bus though!

@TTCAbroad aww that sounds lovely. Good way to enjoy some time before the madness of ttc

Thanks for all the messages appreciate the support. Started with light bleeding Boxing Day that just got worse. I've got a scan booked this afternoon to make sure everything is gone. Just wanna get back to TTC and get it right next time.
Sorry for the self centred post x

@Florence13 I don't early test either now. Now that I know our chances are so minimal naturally there really is no point! When are you due on?
@Minster2012 ooh hope you enjoyed the D! I got some yesterday at long last 🤤 and yes, defo stay positive for the drugs and treatment next year!
@InkyPaper happy Christmas to you too! Do you temp or use opk's?
@2020mission that's exactly how I'm spending my FW 😁
@Katao that's my plan too! I'd be poas today for ov but I'm not, eek! Still using the Flo app though to log dtd and that's it! Good luck 🤞🏾
@Juno231 glad you've sorted the cyst out! 👍🏾
@Gem176 nice to have you back! Hope you're better now?!
@Vil10 would be lovely wouldn't it 😍
@TTCAbroad welcome bk too. Glad you enjoyed skiing, sounds fab!
@DOB78 glad you've got the scan booked and it's not self centred at all, we're all here to share the frustrating journey that is ttc 💐

@DOB78 Awwww don't worry! You are allowed to be when things are shit. That's what we are here for xxx

Hey everyone. My periods arrived now- so finally a new month is in sight. I'm okay, I did all my crying when the period ache started a week ago so im feeling ok now. Excited for my seven seas to arrive and hope it might work 🤣🤣 so ready for this period to be over already as I'm in so much pain 😥😥 thanks for all being so kind. Fingers crossed for a January bfp xxxxx

@notyetamumbuttrying I’m due on 30th so not long to go. At that point where I think I’m almost hoping to much.

Hi, just catching up, love you all

@Florence13 here's hoping good news is on the horizon & you won't be drinking Prosecco on NYE like the rest of us then (on our owns drowning sorrows, sob sob LOL!!) 🙈😝

@DOB78 hey, no talk like that girl that's why we are here. 🥰

@amy2503 that's good, onwards, seven seas ahoy! ❤️

@notyetamumbuttrying 🍆🍆🥳

@TTCAbroad to be fair when I skied I nearly broke myself/mulled myself so I'd be on the sidelines drinking aperol spritzers 🤣but I'm sure you were much better!

@lucyrp how you feeling?

Gutted for you @DOB78 sending big hugs and hope you're OK. I've had 4 CPs but it was the one this time last year that was particularly hard given the time of year it was and watching everyone around you celebrating and being jolly so just take some time out to look after yourself.

@Florence13 hoping you're not a lightweight, that was the tell tale sign for me with my DS so keeping everything crossed for you🤞

@Gem176 welcome back, I'd do the whole im taking you (rally driving/shark diving/whatever thing your man's into) print it out with some pics and tell him it's an IOU as you were too scared to book a date incase we get put in another lockdown and you lost your money so you'll book it when things have calmed down. And just plan a nice romantic evening together cook his fav meal, BJ the works ha ha

I've got a new packet of seven seas and a big bar of oreo choc that means I'm totally getting pregnant right!? 😂

@amy2503 aw sorry to hear but glad you came to peace with it before. Paracetamol and ibuprofen together, only thing that works for me!
@Florence13 aw well best of luck 🤞🏾
@Minster2012 I'm gonna go for round 2 tomorrow!
@DKDK123 yep, that's the ttc starter pack so you got this! 😏😝

Hi everyone.

Finally got a few days off.

@DOB78 I'm so sorry I too had a chemical at start of December. Hope your ok.

How is everybody doing? Have tried to catch up but this bus goes so quick 😂

I'm approaching fertile week but not sure if chemical will knock that, I'm cd 11 and usually my opk has a faint second line but nothing.
Will keep testing see what happens.

Anybody else have a chemical and it has knocked their cycle?

Has anybody got any plans for new year?
Xx

@Minster2012 @DKDK123 @notyetamumbuttrying aww thanks all.

@DKDK123 aww that’s interesting to know. I’ve never felt so rough from such a small amount of alcohol. And with those ingredients it’s definitely got to happen right!?

@paintfairy maybe my New Years resolution will be to stop symptom spotting😂

@amy2503 glad af finally arrived for you, everyone needs a good cry sometimes, makes you feel better I think!! Here's to the next cycle!!

@DKDK123 seven seas AND Oreo?? Deffo preggo this cycle!!

@Katao haha thanks. I have no idea. I'm pretty sure it's been annovulatory but we'll see I guess 🤷🏼‍♀️ I had such a random punching pain twice this morning, like nearly made me bend over. Maybe af is coming? Who really knows anymore haha.

@Minster2012 right?!

@paintfairy Probably!

@DOB78 I must have missed your post before :( so sorry x

@Florence13, I had POAS the day before just to double check before I had a few drinks and it was a bfn. Felt so ill the next morning and assumed it was the hangover from hell. Got to midday and realised I really hadn't drunk that much to warrant feeling so ill so did a test just to rule it out not expecting anything and there it was a bfp and think it was about 5/6 days before AF was even due so very early but think it was my body trying to tell me def no more drinking! Really hoping that's what's happening with you right now keeping everything crossed.🤞

@katao @Florence13 @notyetamumbuttrying thanks for the welcome back ladies

@Vil10 I'm absolutely fine now, still have a bit of a cough but it's more annoying than anything. Was ok in time for Christmas but thankfully did most of my shopping online 🙌🏻

@Juno231 I was absolutely terrified of that, the test for the rona was bad enough 🤮 thought I was going to spew! The hospital stay was more because the chest infection screwed up my diabetes than for the chest infection itself. I couldn't even be mad at him, he got me the dyson straighteners I've been lusting after for a while 🙈

@Minster2012 the elf was so tame this year, oh was left in charge so of course he just did for dds entertainment. Photo below of my favourite 😂 I had actually booked us away in a fancy spa hotel but that was cancelled last week when Scotland was put into level 4 from Boxing Day 😭 he'd die if I bought him a butt plug... the bullet and two vibrating cock rings that arrived last month were enough to have him blushing 🤣🤣🤣 he certainly enjoyed them though 😜

@DKDK123 I got him tank driving last year and he still hadn't managed to go 🙈 his memory is shit though... might just stick that in a card, genuinely don't think he'd notice 😂
