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 ahhh see great minds thinking aline with the top tips on how to get knocked up... thank you that's really helpful. I've picked up a few cartons today so I'll start taking it tomorrow... well tonight actually but tonight it's going in cocktails🍹and I've got my Brazil nuts & ready for mid January! I'm actually looking forward to getting back into it all after being I limbo so long. Im not going to go crazy with the supplements, I'm just going to eat well and take my 5mg folic acid from the GP & the vitamin D/folic acid combo ones. And although my above comments may suggest otherwise I'm taking the more relaxed attitude...

@florence13 don't worry about tonight, do it in the morning when you know you'll have had a good hold. And you can just enjoy your NYE 🥂

Thanks ladies, I'm over my wobbler now, think it was just because I wasn't expecting her to call and it was a lot to digest unexpectedly that it threw me. I'm going to shove it to the back of my mind until I hear what the fertility clinic say, no point in worrying just now there's still a slim chance I might get a sticky bean before then, hitting your peak on new years eve/day has gotta be some unwritten lucky fertility rule right 😉

@Sausage1990 love the pom juice in the cocktails idea! 🍹

@AHobbyaweek congratulations x

@DKDK123 feels weird to say but glad they found something on the scan so you at least have options. I agree with the others, the fertility doctor might know more.

@AHobbyaweek congratulations! 🥳

@DJmum83 yay for you getting your peak! Glad you got some dtd in there as well. My LH didn't budge from yesterday so perhaps will get a peak tomorrow? DTD'd yesterday and day before though so done well so far. Well done for losing 2.5 stone BTW! What kind of a time period was this over? And I hear you on feeling sexier for DTD - I feel so much hotter even if I only lose half a stone!

@AHobbyaweek @Dollybird89 @Minster2012 @DKDK123 I love reading and can easily read a book per day when on hols but this year I've let it slip due to TV/MN/Ps4 lol. One book a month feels easy to achieve but will then hopefully spark the habit again and prompt me to read more! I did this a few years back and ended up reading 9 books before the end of Feb so it worked well for me that year :)

@AHobbyaweek holy moly congrats! A new year's bfp what a way to ring in the new year! Have you told OH?

@vil10 zika wise... The odds are super low (like super low!) so you could just do it anyway? And if not, schedule a private zika test for when you're back so you don't have to wait the 3 months :)

@Juno231 no I haven't told DH. Going to test again tomorrow to see if we are going in the right direction and want to tell him in a more fun way than last time. Last time I woke him up and threw the piss stick at him. Not the best way

Happy New Year's Eve ladies. Just taken my first seven seas 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

Congrats @AHobbyaweek! 🤞 Hope it gets darker!!

@DKDK123 hopefully you won't need to make that decision🤞, just wait and see what the fertility clinic say. I'll be off to Google about fibroids, in case I have any 😂

The witch has arrived!

New year resolution, no more poas before due date!!😂

Hope everyone will have a happy new year, and may we all leave this bus in 2021!

@AHobbyaweek have you got some ideas in mind for how you want to tell him? Exciting times 😊

Sorry the witch had arrived @Mrsbear1122 ☹ onwards and upwards to your new cycle, hope this is the one for you 🤞 And dont worry yourself about fibroids, apparently there's a high percentage of women who have them and it causes no problems. It just depends what size and location they are and I just happen to be unlucky to have large ones in bad places. I didnt even realise I had them till my 1st scan with my son when they discovered one of them sits right at the top of my cervix and was blocking his exit so he had to come via section. I was just under a year ttc with him so no idea if that was due to the fibroids or just one of those things. Coming up 17months this time round, tho so getting rather impatient 🙄 2021 is my year tho, I can feel it 😊

@DKDK123 considering knitting some socks for DD with big sis on them.

Aww thats a cute idea @AHobbyaweek

I wasn't here very active, but was reading a lot. I was preparing for a long journey due to my age (I am 38) but I got my first positive test on 26th December 12-13 DPO) and on Tuesday I've done HCG and it was 52 🥰 This was our first cycle of planning 🙈
I will move now to the pregnancy talk, so see you all there!
Good luck to everyone and wish all dreams come true! ❤️
@Minster2012 , I am not sure if I can join statistics, but I would be happy 🥰

@HelgaK wow congratulations!!
I shall indeed add you to the list and massive congratulations for an amazing short ride 🥰🥳🙌🏻I will add you to the stats! Congratulations xxx

Just preparing the biggest post ever...watch this space ladies

@Mrsbear1122 click the witch into the new year in style 🤣

Clink FFS @Mrsbear1122

@Minster2012 , Thank you! 🙏🙏

Right then ladies...

The new year is nearly here and I'm about to get drunk so here we go...

The updated list of what to do to get us all pregnant in 2021 bitches...you best be taking notes

• Seven Seas AHOY. For riding the stormy seas of TTC. Get the tablets basically fact you get a baby now 🙌🏻worked for @LaceyMermaid, @LB20xx is sorted for the choppy seas who else is with us?
• Drink or don’t drink- If you want to drink during TTC then we have a lot of ladies with BFPs who followed the motto “drink til it’s pink”...in fact, sambuca is advised til you are sick in the sink 😉 a la @lucyrp
• If you don’t want to drink there also lots that have got BFPs drinking tea @franklydear she just couldn’t bear to leave us
• So basically fact, drink or not, doesn’t make a jots difference. Helpful when greeting the witch tho. 🍷or throw it on her when she’s late for no reason *@katao*!
• Avoid Tupperware. Not for TTC but for the fish y’all. Avoid it more in the microwave, saves the planet too. Fact, careful @EmmGrem!
• Legs in the air after sex for a substantial time, cycle them round if it makes you feel better. Good for New Years exercise if nothing else, we can form our own fit club @Tournesol90 are you with me?
• Get a pouffe, have sex on it, eat pizza then chocolate, Oreo chocolate preferable but any should do. Blame TTC & @SmileyT
• No orgasms for the lady ergo no enjoyment for you...unless it’s at the exact point of orgasm for your fella which creates the legendary “up suck effect” have you got it yet @Hopeful110?
• No soy. We got told by someone somewhere, with spurious evidence, remember that @cocoblue22?
• Add fruit juice x 2 - grapefruit juice for ewcm from CD1 then pomegranate juice either throughout cycle or after OV for a fluffy womb see *@Sausage1990 got it covered Both tastes like ass. Good with vodka, unless you don’t need it cos your body creates a slide of ewcm a la @Kirky658*
• Smoke bird poo. One for the OGs @katecolx do you remember?
• Don't wee after sex as you might lose vital swimmers, but Def wee after Sex cos you might get an infection and the best swimmers are already on their way with flowers & choc in hand 💐to charm your egg @Amy2503
• Fluffy socks or dogs on feet. I mean it’s winter FFS @InkyPaper
• Morning sex MUST make good babies, especially for those with tight pussies eh @Vil10
• No sex after OV it might shake out an implantation. Def don’t orgasm. Work of the devil. 👹*@Gem176* were you orgasming?
• Perfect the commando ninja roll after on top sex to avoid spillage AND wet sheets from Lake spermo we need tips from @Skip86
• De floof the foof for fun fertile week, it’s not just for special occasions - get banging @Juno231
• Don’t test early. Ever. But if you must POAS make it to the second week & wear your glasses. Put a picture up. Obligatory as we know @Mrsbear1122
• Get yourself a sex toy or two, some sex dice maybe or tassels a la @2020mission? TTC can take a while, why not make it fun! If your man refuses to DTD every 2 days, PEG HIM DOWN @Blondepotter😉especially in Tier 4 eh? What else is there to do @blackcurrantqueen
• Don’t spit on your dick. Didn’t your mother ever tell you it’s rude to spit *@Dollybird89*?! 😉
• Did I mention Brazil nuts? Eating couple a day for implantation? But no more, nope that’s bad. Oh and a 🍍core & all. Worked for @Blodyn91
• Buy a bum flap onesie, then do some squats in front of your man in it if he isn’t in the mood. Trust me. @Florence13 do it
• Stop poking your pussy ladies, I mean who really knows if your cervix is low, high or wherever? I don’t know how long your fingers are or do YOU class that as hard or soft or what? Who really knows anyway?!! Who was that??? I shall blame @CatherineTTC
• Take up knitting &/or crochet. Maybe good for stress levels to achieve that illusive “just relax” status eh @AHobbyaweek
• 2021 is the year to fuck everyone else & focus on ourselves a la @DJMum83, I mean, don’t LITERALLY FUCK everyone else cos that might hinder our cause 😬
• If all else fails get your day 2 & day 21 bloods done & get a referral for fertility investigations. It simple. Right? Oh wait, tell that to @paintfairy’s doctors who clearly can’t get that simple task right or are 🧛🏻‍♀️FACT
• If you reach the infertility investigation stage, don’t worry cos this bus also stops at various clinics & you get a golden ticket to SPECIAL BABY MAKING DRUGS & extra hormones to make you even more 😜😩🤬😡😱so we’ll strap you in a bit tighter @notyetamumbuttrying, *@katao, @clolo* *@Dollybird89, @justanothercyster & @DKDK123*
• The greater your storm the brighter your rainbow🌈ladies, 2021 we got this *@Sausage1990, @HollieL567, @DOB78, @Amy00 & anyone else waiting for 🌈it’s worked for @Clairey844, @ltay2, @Mococo1* & others, now it’s our time 🥰
• Oh and of course JUST RELAX like @2alreadywantanother, @khalidasa who are one step ahead of us, it worked for @Missgoldilocks
• Or maybe the newbies could advise us 🤞🏻*@starstrong82, @KSP8723, @RoRox3, @Peachesavent*, TTCabroad

Ladies, a very astute (pregnant) passenger said to me a very pertinent comment...”our bus is a Lifesaver having ppl to talk to all on the same journey trying to get to the same end point, just doing things a little differently” @Runnergirl1 (2020)

Wishing you all a fantastic, shagtastic 2021 full of BFPs ladies, to the best bus around 🥰, in a year in lockdown where I had a horrible MMC, second IVF & no one in real life knew & also lost all my 3 last grandparents you guys got me through & u didn’t know it, or know me, so here’s a picture from my wedding popped up last week on my Facebook timeline reminded me what’s important in life...LIVE, LOVE, LAUGH...thank you ladies, love to you all🥰🙌🏻🥳🥂

@Minster2012 wow a mammoth post! 🤣 Happy getting drunk! I've given up as it was making me not feel good and I have a headache. Useless. I've got a cup of tea instead! 🤣 My back is absolutely killing and I'm grumpy. AF and new year don't really work together. 🙄

I hope everyone else is having a good evening! I've eaten loads of crap. 😁

@Minster2012 haha i love how I'm getting the blame for cervix checking 🤣🤣 i only have 'wee' fingers 🤣🤣🤣
