It’s a New Year TTC bitches and of course it’s time for a new bus...

2020 was a bit of a TWATFACE for us
2021...is surely EXACTLY the number of babies we are owed by now.

We’ve read up on what we need to do to get pregnant, if you haven’t, see last bus or read my hotly anticipated blog and join us.

We are here, we are ready, so get your tickets for the bus, grab your seat, your roadie & your snacks cos I’ve sent out the memo to the stalks- bring us our babies!

Story so far...

June 24 BFPs
July 11 BFPs
August 18 BFPs
Sep 4 BFPs
Oct 7 BFPs
Nov 7 BFPs
Dec 14 BFPs
2 sneaky ones just before New Year!

2 BFP already for jan!

So what’s everyone’s New Years resolutions then? Who is gonna get the first BFP of 2021?
And what should be the title of my new blog?🤔

@Minster2012 it was you that assisted me in reaching for the test! Literally no symptoms just a few ovary twinges. Thank you so much. Your blog is amazing by the way! 💓
@Sausage1990 @Vil10 thank you both so much!
@Minster2012 can I stay for a little while ? 🤣 I like it here.
@lucyrp if this baby sticks I will be sharing the sick bowl 🤮 xx

lucyrp · 03/01/2021 16:30

@Vil10 the amount of times I said thank you I have no idea !😂 have you watched the video yet??

@Idreamof2more oh no I hope not for your sake !😩🥰

DKDK123 · 03/01/2021 16:50

Congratulations @florence13 & @Idreamof2more! 🥳 Great start to the year with all these bfp already.

Welcome too @eihpos82, there are a few of us on the bus been ttc a while so you're in good company tho I hope your bus journey is short.

Welcome @Deemama21, hope your bus journey is mega short and that those two lines get darker over the next few days, remember the digital tests need higher levels of HGC to show than some of the early tests so hopefully you just tested a bit too early for that one to register 🤞

@minster2012 love the blog! Not going to lie I actually shed a wee tear as I started reading because I felt that damn proud of you for doing it, felt like a proud mum, well done ❤

Minster2012 · 03/01/2021 16:54

I know @notyetamumbuttrying @Vil10 when @lucyrp got a BFP I think we genuinely had a virtual party between us 💃🏼👯‍♀️

@notyetamumbuttrying you know I'm here for a while 😂

@Idreamof2more don't worry you've seen our list, we don't ACTUALLY kick ppl off if they involved we love a good natter & we know 2 lines don't make an easy ride 😘

Congratulations to the ladies with BFPs 😃 🎊

Can we make it a requirement for those with BFPs to immediately share length of time TTC and what you did different this month haha. We all always want to know! 🙌

InkyPaper · 03/01/2021 17:00

Congratulations @Idreamof2more! That's wonderful news 😊

Welcome to the newbies! 👋 @Deemama21 fingers crossed it was just a little too early to register on the digital test!

notyetamumbuttrying · 03/01/2021 17:04

@Minster2012 omg 😆 yes it was just like that!
Whoop, I certainly do! So glad we'll have each other when ivf starts, along with @clolo as well! Just willing 22nd feb to arrive so I can finally ask questions f2f and hopefully get a sound timeframe for starting. Hard to make plans without knowing as we'd like to book a hol for spring if possible.

Minster2012 · 03/01/2021 17:06

@eihpos82 sorry I got so excited seeing the BFP picture that came up below your post I'm so sorry totally my bad 🤦🏼‍♀️hello and welcome course take a seat, everyone will squidge up, I think we might end a bullet train at this rate 😂 there's a fair few of us that have been around a similar time on different journeys so you are in good company...of course I do say that myself!

@DKDK123 thank you so much!! Totally all your guys fault. I am gonna blame you all. For everything. and try and keep DH away. Mmmm that's not gonna go well I think.

@Sausage1990 are you gonna use the OPKs for this cycle? You a few days in aren't you? I'm so hoping that's it, your body is cleansed and New year new start for you gorgeous xx

Deemama21 · 03/01/2021 17:14

@DKDK123 thank you sweet I really hope so it's been a long time coming iv used digitalis before but always been further on so hopefully it is just too early 😆

@InkyPaper thank you I have all fingers and toes crossed if not I think it's time to look into different options I have my own 3 little monsters but hubby is desperate for one of his own it's sad to let him down each month 😔xx

Florence13 · 03/01/2021 17:17

@DKDK123 thanks hun.

@2020mission I’ll be honest I started taking the seven seas magic pills last cycle and it must have worked for me.

2020mission · 03/01/2021 17:22

@Florence13 ohh interesting! I just started those this cycle so fingers crossed haha. Congrats again 😃 I'm about a week away from testing now. Stick around and keep us updated on how you're getting on!

Florence13 · 03/01/2021 17:30

@2020mission aww well I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you hun. Aww I will feel like I don’t want to leave you all anyway you have all been such a massive support to me.

Sausage1990 · 03/01/2021 17:33

@minster2012 yeah I am going to use opk this cycle. I wasn't sure if I would but now I'm ready to get back to ttc I definitely want to use them again. Im feeling quite chilled about it all but I am keen to know where I am in my cycle to make sure its all settled. My period as been pretty normal, I thought it would be heavier but it hasn't been so I'm hoping that it's all good 🤞🏻

My cycles are usually quite long anyway, about 33-36days with a 11-13day LP so I don't imagine I'll ovulate for another week or so but I'll probably start checking sooner this cycle just to be sure & to re-familiarise myself with my body again 😊

Sausage1990 · 03/01/2021 17:36

@florence13 I wanted to take seven seas this cycle too (because they clearly have magical properties) but they were all sold out in my local supermarket so it seems that the words got out about their conception boosting benefits lol 😂

blodyn91 · 03/01/2021 17:39

@lucyrp miss Goldilocks has big blonde curly hair, I mix a few of the others up as well 😳 also I watched the video. Jeez she talks! 🤣 I was like ok ok skip to the bit I want to watch now please!

@Sausage1990 so glad you are back on it!!!

lucyrp · 03/01/2021 17:42

@blodyn91 I shall have another look! I need like a key pinned to the top of the group explaining who is who 🤣 she talks loads and I thought there would be more to the video but it was just her crying and I was bit like Meh🙉😂

InkyPaper · 03/01/2021 17:51

@Deemama21 you're not letting him down, please don't think that. It's just one of those things that we can't control - if we did we'd all have BFPs our first month of trying! 😊

AHobbyaweek · 03/01/2021 17:51

@Minster2012 blog is really good so far! Really interesting and funny. My mum passed away from a rare cancer 4 years ago and had similar humour about it all.

@Idreamof2more congratulations!! I get the anxiety about it all from the test to a scan or beyond.

Welcome @Deemama21 and @eihpos82.

@Deemama21 seems like you need a FRER to see what is going on. I always feel judged when I buy pregnancy tests in the physical shops but I am sure they don't care at all.

@blodyn91 I am in no way very fit and was 6st (at least) heavier in my last pregnancy 5 years ago and my muscles are still split. You can feel the gap. Envysorry!

Currently DH is suggesting BJs and similar would be safer for early pregnancy. Yeah no luck for him. Even if I have to do all the work myself, I will get sex. Silly man.

Idreamof2more · 03/01/2021 17:53

@AHobbyaweek thank you 💓

Deemama21 · 03/01/2021 18:08

@InkyPaper I think it's because for a year I wasn't too bothered as I have my own but I saw how much it got to him every month and both are fertile so we just can't seem to grasp why we can't get pregnant :( Just Got to keep going 🤞

@AHobbyaweek yeah I think I can get one from my local chemist they don't really sell them anymore where I live so I usually just go for cheapies or clear blue. The ones I have positives on are just some internet ones I got with my ovulation kit as a added extra. I'm just praying now they arnt dodgy tests. Although I'm feeling quite crampy so think af is on her way tomorrow as planned x

Florence13 · 03/01/2021 18:37

@Sausage1990 oh no sorry to hear they were out. But so glad your ready to get back to TTC sending lots of baby dust your way and hoping it’s not long before your posting your BFP.

amy2503 · 03/01/2021 18:47

Hi ladies. Took the decs down today, so feels like a proper new year now. So hoping it's my month.. taking my seven seas religiously...

@Florence13 congrats! What month ttc were you ok?
xxx

lucyrp · 03/01/2021 18:56

@AHobbyaweek you're braver than me having sex in pregnancy! Was so scared for the first two weeks 🤣

DOB78 · 03/01/2021 18:57

Jumping on board for another go at this TTC malarkey

mooloop · 03/01/2021 19:14

Hope it's OK to jump aboard Smile

My apps think I'm 1DPO today (CD16), although I haven't seen a peak on the OPKs...wondering if I missed it as I've had cramps and EWCM yesterday and today as usual around this time of my cycle 🤷🏼‍♀️ what a mystery this TTC lark is!
