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

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

Story so far...

@paintfairy I'm glad I'm not alone in feeling that way about just us 2 for Christmas 😅 I love him of course but Christmas to me is family coming together and so with not seeing family it really just won't be Christmas. I think I'm also feeling it more as it will also really highlight the fact we have failed to start our own family this year.

Thanks @Minster2012 I do think everyone will be feeling it in some way 💕 hopefully your little boy will still have all the Christmas excitement 😃

I'm jealous of you all who can have a meal and drink in a pub. My area in Scotland has had pubs closed for ages and we've only had cafes and some restaurants open until 6pm with no alcohol allowed and no music. The last time I ate out it was so quiet I felt like I was having lunch in a library 😂

Actually I think I'm more jealous of @Justanothercyster being in Dubai haha ☀️

DOB78 · 20/12/2020 20:29

@Minster2012 Thank you so much. This is what happens when you leave us for fresh air and quickies.
@luna57 Thank you. What a lovely way to tell your family! I can't hold it in, he'll be super happy.
This sounds weird but a few weeks ago I bought a baby grow with I Love Dad on it so I'm gonna wrap it up with a CB digital test. I hope it doesn't take him long to register!

Luna57 · 20/12/2020 20:36

@Minster2012 I absolutely love Yorkshire I used to live in West Yorkshire and my fiancé used to live in North Yorkshire. We’re both from and back living in NI I miss the ‘yarkshur’ accent so much. What am I meant to do with my 6 Prosecco now??? I’m not sure yet, it was just a crazy idea that passed my mind. I would love to tell my mum Christmas Day it would make her year but I feel it would just be too early to get her hopes up just incase. My mum had 3 under 2. My brother and sister are twins and 18 months later I arrived. I was a little ‘whoopsie’ she only realised she was pregnant with me when she passed out after opening a tin of tuna lol

Franklydear · 20/12/2020 20:36

@2020mission definitely @Justanothercyster gets the best deal this Xmas

Luna57 · 20/12/2020 20:39

@DOB78 that sounds lovely, such exciting times. If OH wasn’t at the pub I probably would of told him tonight but not while he’s full of beer incase he doesn’t remember tomorrow lol. I’m working Christmas morning- I’m gonna be a nervous, excited wreck all day waiting to tell him.

Juno231 · 20/12/2020 20:52

@DOB78 @Luna57 congratulations!! Excellent Christmas timing ❤️

@DJmum83 my chart was the prime example of why trying to predict anything based on LP temps is foolish 🤣. I just don't practice what I preach!

@Minster2012 thank you for another lovely bus - but oi where's my testing date? 😜

Juno231 · 20/12/2020 20:59

Oh you know what was the icing on my shit sundae today? Getting this notification.

@Juno57 I just couldn't keep it to myself that long!

DOB78 · 20/12/2020 21:01

@Juno321 Thank you x

Minster2012 · 20/12/2020 21:12

@DOB78 "this is what happens when you leave us for fresh air & quickies" love that!! I shall do it more often...never the bride eh 😭😭😭😭

@Luna57 ahhh you see, the Prosecco, that's why you shouldn't test early. 10dpo, drink the Prosecco, test at 14dpo or like your mum don't bother, drink the Prosecco then open tuna. Voila! Or send it to "yarkshur" we have homes for it here, or @notyetamumbuttrying or @clolo or @Juno231 we can share the love! 3 under 2, I had to re-read that! You going for the record?!

@Juno231 you said AF arrived!! Ehhhhhhhhh don't make my head more confused!! It did. Stop it.

@2020mission we are the same, no cafes and no pubs open here since the summer, at all, not even to a certain time, can't remember what actually "eating out"
Is like! We rarely have a takeaway usually but now it's a lifeline to a "date night". It's not just that, if you go shopping I'm stuck for places to go have a wee?!!god knows what I'd be like pregnant?!!

@Franklydear I know I just meant the general feeling, going tier 2 to 4 in the south. DH s cousin was like "ooooo Sunday lunches out so good" and shops open all fine now since summer & lockdown in general he's like "OMG end of the world is nigh" whereas we've had shops open, hairdressers open but not pubs/restaurants and yet rates drastically fallen it's all a bit hmmmmm what are we doing differently? Glad MIL is ok and feeling in good spirits 🥰

@Florence13 all gods for sex in TWW personally think. I had sex when I got preg before.

This is looking to be a very lucky bus. Congratulations @luna57 and @dob78! 🥳
@dob78 wrap it up and tell him it's an early Christmas gift that he gets to open now.
@luna57 that would be a lovely way to share with your family at your wedding 🙂

@minster2012 I think I need to add jumper dress to my ttc list now. 😂

@Franklydear sorry to hear your MIL isn't well but relieved it isn't covid. Wishing her a speedy recovery.

@2020mission do you have any friends nearby that you could arrange a socially distanced Christmas day walk with? I know it won't be the same as a Christmas dinner/party but it might lift your spirits a bit more.

@catherinettc can't wait to see your scan! It's different when you see scans or here of bfp on here as you know the ups and downs of everyone's journeys so are genuinely thrilled for them.

No way @juno231 is it legit from the app? Why is it only 6 days I thought the minimum was 10? I've 3 days of work left and terrified someone in my class will end up with covid causing the whole class to isolate over Christmas. It happened the 1st day of the October holidays, I dont want to do it over Christmas too and know sods law it will probably happen.

notyetamumbuttrying · 20/12/2020 21:27

@Franklydear phew, glad she's coming home now!
@DOB78 bless you, must be such a shock!
@2020mission aw is there no one you can pop in on, on the day?
@2alreadywantanother sounds bliss! Majorly jel of tier 2 and pub lunches! Glad you had a nice day 😊
@Smushty14 it's a mega bus for bfp's already! Hope you're well x
@Catherinettc glad the scan went well! 😌
@Juno231 oh no! How annoying! 6 days is random tho?! Always thought it was at least 10 days.

notyetamumbuttrying · 20/12/2020 21:28

@DKDK123 we've basically said the same things 😂 I posted before I saw your msgs x

Franklydear · 20/12/2020 21:29

@DKDK123 my local high school is complaining on Facebook, they’ve been told today to selfisolate until the 27 th
@Minster2012 it won’t make much difference to me, but very worried for various friends with cafes, hairdressers and various little business that just might not be sustainable any more
On the toilet in public places, I got a blue key, as ds is too old to come to the ladies with me and still needs assistance, so that will come in handy...

Franklydear · 20/12/2020 21:31

@notyetamumbuttrying it is 10 days from the last day of contact, if it takes them 4 days to find you it is because it is a world beating tract and trace system

DOB78 · 20/12/2020 21:31

@Minster2012 I'm sure you'll be a blushing bride soon enough

DOB78 · 20/12/2020 21:32

@DKDK123 Thankyou, that's what I was thinking. I'm not gonna sleep I'm.too excited.

DOB78 · 20/12/2020 21:34

@notamumyetbuttrying I am but I was convinced we'd get a BFP this month, signs from Universe🙂

Minster2012 · 20/12/2020 21:43

@Franklydear ive got a radar key too, just always forget it (is yours huge??) & also I've had to argue it a number of times but the fact I once shouted at someone "DO YOU WANT ME TO SHIT MYSELF IN FRONT OF YOU WOULD THAT HELP MY CASE?" makes me feel slightly bolder! Even now!

@Juno231 say what?? What day are we on now? 20th?? Mmmm

@Minister2012 it's quite deflating isn't it, I think people have spent al year looking forward to Christmas and then it's been taken at the last minute. But I guess there are worse things happening elsewhere. Bring on the IVF chat, it always fascinates me all of the different stages, super excited for all you guys 💕 the hallway quickie story made me laugh, were defo on some sort of awkward DTD dry spell 🤦🏼‍♀️

@notyetamumbuttrying ahh thank you 🥰 my hair unfortunately doesn't look as glam these days 😂 I'm good thank you!! How are you doing? X

@Vil10 hi gorge! Eurgh I know, I've had a day morning and determined to get into some sort of Christmas spirit from when I finish work at 12 tomorrow 😂 what are your Xmas plans? Aw all good thank you!! Still in the awks is it chub or is it a bump phase 😂 Sickness has eased which is nice but seems to have been replaced with awful toothache 😩 how are you doing? X

Minster2012 · 20/12/2020 21:49

@DKDK123 jumper dress/leggings, easy access & look sexy with knee high boots ✅can also be done with no knickers for added sex appeal during FW (ive heard) ✅do it

@Minster2012 it is quite big, I think uk is standard size all the same with a heart as holder, I made myself a little granny square purse that just fits in

Franklydear · 20/12/2020 21:51

With cards and a few coins, pressed enter too quick

notyetamumbuttrying · 20/12/2020 21:53

@Franklydear ah I see, makes sense!
@DOB78 ooh that's a bit freaky! Love when the universe listens, wish it'd listen to me 😂
@KateColx ah I bet it secretly does! 😏 I'm ok yeah, all things considered! We have a fertility appointment at long last in feb so just focussing on that now. Glad all is well with you and the pregnancy 😌
@Minster2012 ooh nice! Sounds like a winner to me 😉

Franklydear · 20/12/2020 22:09
