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 at least you have one girl pooch so to even out the numbers 😂 night!

@Deemama21 I'm a bit lost for words. Is he actually serious or throwing a strop?

Deemama21 · 04/01/2021 23:13

@Minster2012 yep he's gone we've just moved house but he also has a flat (his dad gave him) which isn't big enough for us all so he rents to his friend. I don't know whether to be angry or just burst into tears he said some pretty shitty stuff tbh and don't know if he's said it in anger or actually means it 😩 he's literally taken everything he owns and gone I'm so confused

2020mission · 04/01/2021 23:15

@Deemama21 aww no why has he done that? I know these times have been so tough and TTC is even more pressure on relationships. Is there any chance he just needs to cool off and will come back? My husband usually storms off whenever we have a tiff, sometimes for hours but he always comes back and apologises once he's cooled off. We've definitely had a few more arguments in the last year than normal with being together 24/7 and all the upset with TTC for a year too.

We're here for you if you need to talk 💕

Deemama21 · 04/01/2021 23:21

Thanks ladies so sorry for being such a downer when you all have your own problems I'm just lost for words. I'm not sure he can be a right arse he's so stubborn sometimes he will go for hours sometimes days. Only time will tell I guess but if he does come back I think a talk about things that were said today needs to be done. Hope everyone else is okay 💕

Franklydear · 04/01/2021 23:32

@Minster2012 if you could post me the gun, I’ll gladly shoot him
@Deemama21 that’s just shocking! But right now, concentrate on you, on feeling good again, you can work out the rest later, we’re here for you, anything you need, I can provide the entertainment, bossboy saga, Denis the menace style....

Franklydear · 04/01/2021 23:35

@2020mission mine wouldn’t dare storm off for hours, he’d find the lock changed.... but I can be a mean cow....

Deemama21 · 04/01/2021 23:42

@Franklydear I'm just sat with a brew trying to figure out how it got to this. Last time he did this I didn't let him back for 2 weeks seems he still hasn't learnt his lesson. Sometimes I wonder if murder wasn't a crime 🤔 I used to be such a bitch and wouldn't take shit but since being with him he's turned me into a soft bitch 🙄

Jane334 · 04/01/2021 23:46

Hi everyone!

Can I join?

I am 36, my partner is 38.

We have no children but had a miscarriage in Jan 2020 and have been ttc ever since (9 months and counting). Wishing everyone health, happiness and bundles of joy in 2021

Ps... how long did other people take to conceive? I am worried something is wrong xxx

Deemama21 · 04/01/2021 23:50

He doesn't really like the fact I have a good relationship with my children's dad and told me he feels like I want to be back with my ex partner (wouldn't even if I was paid to) we get on really well and I get on really well with his new partner too. I said from the beginning I always want to co parent well with my ex as it's healthy for the children. At the end of the day it's not the kids fault and they don't need to be brought up by hate and anger and lets be fair I'll never get rid of the arse as we have 3 children so what's the point in hating each other 🤷🏼‍♀️I don't understand what is wrong with that

Franklydear · 04/01/2021 23:54

Creamy cm, I guess ovulation has really passed, we couldn't have fucked any more, until ds crisis, of course, well, af due on the 17th then, I'll test 3 weeks after that
@Jane334 a year and 2 months nearly, had a loss in November, but I am 43, no point in investigations, luckily I have a 10 year old boy

Franklydear · 04/01/2021 23:56

@Deemama21 that's the right approach and fantastic that it works, don't let anything change that,
And now, I really must go to sleep, jeezzzz, ladies, entirely your fault

Deemama21 · 05/01/2021 00:00

@Franklydear thanks sweet, with you on that one defos tired out after today! It's definitely been a Monday! Ahaha Goodnight 💕xxx

Jane334 · 05/01/2021 00:09

Sorry for your loss and thanks for replying xx

2020mission · 05/01/2021 00:40

@Jane334 welcome 👋 I've been TTC for 12 months now. I'm also trying for my first. I'm in my 30s too - almost 33 and my husband is 37. I have to remind myself this but trying for a year or longer doesn't necessarily mean anything is wrong. It really is just luck a lot of the time so try to keep positive and you can always speak to the GP to get tests for peace of mind!

Franklydear · 05/01/2021 06:31

@Jane334 thanks, these ladies hold me up and carried me through it, you’re in good company here

Minster2012 · 05/01/2021 06:48

Good morning ppl, its the morning after the night before and welcome to @Jane334, we've recently kicked a number of ppl off the bus (well they still cling on) who were TTC for 16 months, and 15months & especially if you had a MC it's likely that messed with your system a little bit (which non of realised til we started talking to others of course) so please don't fear, def good company here.

There's been a bit of apologising for being down recently. Don't. We all need it. That's what we are here for. Good times & bad. We all need a vent, to ask questions & rant. That's why we are here...never any need to apologise ladies

@Franklydear I'm afraid if the shotgun comes. I do too, you know the rules else licences are lost 🔫explain that one to your colleagues at the sorting office 😂

@Deemama21 whatever he said firstly if it was about TTC and you it's not your fault & it's not your fault you are clearly mature about your ex and he is not??? Unfortunately the cheap tests that come with OPKs aren't the best indicators, you prob had a bad batch & I truly hope he knows there's about a 3 day window when a woman can get pregnant each month, that the moon has to be facing the right direction & balancing a spoon on its nose at the same time as his amazing sperm handing your lovely egg flowers & chocs & tbh I'm not surprised it doesn't get a look in with that attitude. Keep talking to us & hopefully he calms down, in the mean time what are your plans today?

Have a bus quote bitches from a very wise woman. We are here for each other.

Now Pilates & blog 🤔

@Minster2012 😂 he’s been a twat for so long, that you’ll get helpers, to hold him down and paint a target in his forehead with markers, I am an army brat if it helps with the license, ...but rather you came, essential travel to provide care, right?
Need to sign up for that blog, I had a look at the other day, but I’ll lose it otherwise

Minster2012 · 05/01/2021 07:36

Oh yes I'm happy to have hell that's fine, and you can come pick it up?? @Franklydear

If ppl are signing up for the blog btw you put an email address I think which is fine no one sees it, but then I guess you put a username to comment or use the member area which I hope to do more with (like put the recipe from last night) So if you don't want anything identifying then bear that in mind, just a thought

I'm still trying to get my head around flitting from the past to the present and if it works interested to hear thoughts

It's snowing here ❄️I'm in a field in the dark walking the dogs 😂

Hello Ladies just caught up on everything but there's too many to reply to! Having bad headaches and feeling dizzy I have to just watch up as and when I can do it is a bit of a mammoth task 🙉 welcome to any newbies it took me 16 months of ttc with a MMC/CP (god knows what actually happened) in the middle and I'm 23. Hope everyone's okay after lovely Boris announcement last night. Love to everyone 💓

Katao · 05/01/2021 08:06

@lucyrp have you had your blood pressure checked? How are you doing with keeping hydrated since? Sending hugs x

lucyrp · 05/01/2021 08:09

@Katao yes I saw the docs on NYE to get some anti sickness and then had my first MW appointment yesterday. Sickness had calmed down it's only once a day ish. Manage a couple of pieces of toast and a small meal roughly a day. Can't say I enjoy any of it 😂x

Hopeful110 · 05/01/2021 08:30

Morning everyone!
Sorry to hear your still feeling shitty @lucyrp, 🤞 you start to feel better soon and it eases off.

@welcome to @Jane334 🤗

Am I the only one kinda a little bit relieved about Bojo's announcement? Work stresses me out to another level lol and I've realised both times I fell pregnant I was on annual leave. So being furloughed now means atleast my stress levels are low. On the down side we can't see family or friends which sucks! But 🤞 this is the last lockdown! 😊

The spotting i had yesterday has completely stopped! I fully expected to wake up to AF but nope, think I've scared her off with threats of @Minster2012 and your shotgun 🤣 my temp has dropped to coverline but OH turnt the heating off last night so our room wasn't at warm so could be why ...mind you I did have a hot flash just as I was trying to sleep, who knows...trying hard to keep grounded and not poas! 😬 should I? Poas? Or wait it out....hmmmmmm xx

DJmum83 · 05/01/2021 08:40

Morning everyone.

Feeling a bit more like myself today rather than a blubbering mess.

Well @Juno231 you were right for ovulation day so glad you said or we wouldn't have done Friday or Saturday thinking New Year's Eve was ov day so thank you.
How are you?

How's everybody else today?

@Deemama21 I'm so sorry your OH had done this if he comes back I would be having a serious chat as that is no way to treat you.

I'm off to work double shifts next 3 days.
Hi ho xx

@lucyrp hopefully you are over the worst. I know what you mean, yoi just have to make yourself eat really don't you. You'll get there. Hopefully it pass after the first trimester.

paintfairy · 05/01/2021 08:59

@Deemama21 do you seriously want this guy back? I'm not sure it's someone I'd be wanting to have a kid with if he's that immature. You cannot just up and leave your family when you get annoyed? And I'm with @Franklydear - mine wouldn't dare do that as he knows full well he wouldn't get back in. 🤣 I too am a cow and he knew from the beginning I'd take no shit.

As for everyone feeling down about lockdown - its utter shit. It feels like it'll never end and I honestly think this year will end up worst than last. It's not exactly motivating. And I think I'm maybe feeling thankful we didn't conceive straight away or I'd be locked in the house with a screaming baby and probably going bonkers. Maybe things do happen for a reason? Or that's what I'm telling myself......
