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?🤔

Yessss the 2 minute maggi noodles but these ones come in a pot so very convenient, we have maggi noodles in a packet.

Bloody hell how expensive is a pot noodle??

Similar to a yobbo I guess but an ASBO is actually an order that has been placed an a yobbo or chav by prosecution to try and keep they indoors.

Ah yes @Minster2012 we have similar to pot noodles just not called that.

I am a bit of a word nerd and am now full of google knowledge on 'yobbo'! 😆
It is derived from British term yob, which was the product of 'backslang', being 'the process of pronouncing existing words backwards'. So 'yob' came from 'boy', and became more of a derogatory term in the 1930s.
And then aussies of course added 'o to the end.

Well I never.
Fun facts for your Wednesday.
Night night.

@Skip86 ooh love a fun word fact!! Sleep tight! X

Juno231 · 06/01/2021 14:16

@skip86 that's amazing! I love a bit of etymology

Justanothercyster · 06/01/2021 14:20

@Juno231 god that's awful. Might be best to get some distance.

@InkyPaper thanks love x

@Minster2012 fair play to you! Gotta keep laughing or we'll cry eh. Which is ok sometimes. I've been considering getting some fertility counselling as mentally I'm not coping very well. Do you think you can get that on the nhs?

@notyetamumbuttrying eek that might get awkward, but I'm sure it'll be nice having someone going through it alongside you as it means you can talk to each other etc. Good luck with the house!

Deemama21 · 06/01/2021 14:24

Hey ladies sorry been a busy bee hope you are all well!!...just and update me and hubby finally had a good long chat that I think was needed! We've decided that we are going to maybe stop TTC so hard for a few months and see if it happens naturally without adding the stress!

@MissTTC2020 not in the same position now but I fell pregnant 4 months after my first but unfortunately ended in miscarriage although fell pregnant again the same cycle with my second which ended in a healthy pregnancy, i was told that your usually more fertile in the 6 months after giving birth! I hope it happens quickly for you and congratulations on the birth of your little one 😊

Minster2012 · 06/01/2021 14:35

OMG I LOVE that you Aussies just added "o" to the end like do you actually go round saying "drongo" like we discussed before and did we get an answer on that?!!

@Deemama21 that's good that you've talked and decided to chill a bit and wow you had 2 quickly then! Take some time to reconnect, add a sex toy maybe and who knows what will happen?!!

@notyetamumbuttrying yes of course it will all happen at once, youve seen grand designs right?? I said this to @Juno231 when you got the Reno house right? You need a new house that needs work then automatically you get the baby that needs to accelerate the work!!

@Justanothercyster yes you can get counselling as part of your treatment, & I think your GP should be able to arrange it too...def our clinic has access to counsellors for us at any point both on NHS & private & we HAD to all have counselling (& get a counselling report we had to all "pass" for the surrogacy to go pass the ethics board) but we could then all have it too anyway so you should be able to ask in your first appointment.

@Minster2012 yeah I think we needed it tbh I think it maybe the best decision especially with another 2 month lockdown don't want to drive ourselves absolutely crazy! I still have my Premom app which tells me when I should be ovulating so will just use that without the tests for a few months, luckily I come on at the same time every month so my ovulation is round about the same time around cd17... ooo I have my full range of sex toys and outfits that's one thing that I can say we have always had a very sexual relationship and enjoy experimenting 😆 may have to get on to Ann summers and love honey for the January sales though!

notyetamumbuttrying · 06/01/2021 15:31

@Justanothercyster if it was my other sister maybe, but I always clash with this one. I can see it ending in tears 😭 but we'll see! And thanks for the luck with the house, we reduced Boxing Day and with the new lockdown ppl are apprehensive to come round even though they're still allowed 😩
@Minster2012 haha indeed! Here's hoping that it does all come at once, I'm ready for it!
@clolo whatever you need to do that works for you is the correct answer. Lots of luck hun!
@Deemama21 glad you've sorted it out and have a way forward now 🙂

amy2503 · 06/01/2021 15:58

Hey ladies sorry I've been quiet. I'm okay. Fertile week is about to start so eeek.. taking my seven seas daily.. obviously schools are closed however our pre-school is open still and we have lots of key worker kids in... so I'm still working part time 🤣🤣 hAve I missed anything important? Xxx

AHobbyaweek · 06/01/2021 17:32

@Idreamof2more I also suggest Movicol. Don't wait and you can start on less sachets or half then have more each day or less to get just right.

Idreamof2more · 06/01/2021 17:34

@AHobbyaweek thank you so much xx

paintfairy · 06/01/2021 17:35

@Minster2012 laughing at yobbo. I'm sure we call them that too? Not just aussie O words. Admittedly drongo is a different story. But yeah asbo's are issues to yobbo type people @Skip86 to highlight they are idiots. Makes no difference like. I'm not even sure if they do it much any more?

@Justanothercyster no not a bitch. Probably normal. And what a dick for saying that! I think I'd have told him too. @Juno231 your friend sounds another delight!

I called my GP surgery today. No need for @Franklydear to use your gun @Minster2012 🤣 They actually managed to do a day 2 blood test correctly! 🥳 And the Dr has sent off my referral. Finally. In lockdown. 🙄🤣

Franklydear · 06/01/2021 17:45

@paintfairy actually they opened a firing range down the road and been thinking of signing up with my mate, he is from Texas and misses shooting
@Skip86 yobbo needs to be bossboy new name, it fits perfectly.

Franklydear · 06/01/2021 17:47

DS has a school place from tomorrow, so I can work and he can have some structure, now after school club has to decide if they can open, they have charity status and they are not allowed to go into debt but their prices are capped

Vil10 · 06/01/2021 17:52

@Justanothercyster hope you're chat goes well and you're both feeling a little better!!

@Juno231 that friend sounds horrible, a little like my friend who made that comment about her having a baby first, then announced she was pregnant and sent a voice note in the group chat about her fertile she is😴

@amy2503 hey!! Yesss to fertile week, get on that🍆

So, in April I had a dream that my friend was pregnant with twin girls, I text her and was like how weird, anyway 10 weeks later she told me she was pregnant and that she received my text about my dream 2 hours after taking her first pregnancy test!! And then my friend who isn't nice who I don't really class as a friend, I had a dream she was pregnant, so text my friend who I initially had the dream about telling her, then low and behold, she announced it!! So it's like a running joke in our group that I'm psychic, anyway, the friend who I dreamt about first has text me tonight saying "so had a nap whilst baby was asleep, and I had a dream you were pregnant, maybe im a psychic now!!"So basically I'm gonna get my BFP in a few weeks time right??

Minster2012 · 06/01/2021 17:59

@Deemama21 oooo I never thought about the sex toys jan sales 🤔🤔🤔that's good you tend to ovulate the same time! Can still know but not worry too much!

@amy2503 FW! Get on it! No jan Blue's for you! How busy is the school this time compared to last? Missed stuff? Errr married at first sight, I've started a blog & my drugs for the IVF & I've got a zoom call tomorrow to hopefully find out the plan 😬, silly men storming out, lockdown putting other infertility back grrrrr 🤨, stupid mates & boss boys getting our backs up & our gorgeous Aussie friend back!! Ooooo and @paintfairy bloods were done right 🥳🥳🥳🥳whoop whoop!!

OP posts:
InkyPaper · 06/01/2021 18:48

@paintfairy miracles do happen!! I so happy for you that they finally got your blood tests right! 🙌

@Vil10 yep! I reckon it means it's gotta be your turn in the next couple of weeks now!

@Skip86 please continue with the word nerdery, I love that kind of thing!

Time to place some bets, ladies! I've had tender boobs for 3 days - a sign of AFs impending arrival or a pregnancy symptom... What's it gonna be?? 😂😂

(If it helps, I sometimes get tender boobs before AF...and sometimes not. My body is a fuckboy)

Katao · 06/01/2021 18:54

@InkyPaper if I can't interpret my own body I'm not going to start guessing about yours 😂who knows!

@Vil10 tentative congratulations 😜

@paintfairy hallelujah!

@blackcurrantqueen how did the appointment go?

amy2503 · 06/01/2021 18:57

InkyPaper · 06/01/2021 19:09

@Katao 😂😂😂😂 fair enough! Right, if AF doesn't show I'm testing next Wednesday

Katao · 06/01/2021 19:19

InkyPaper · 06/01/2021 19:19

Minster2012 · 06/01/2021 19:41
