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?🤔

@KateColx ooo I can't wait to try it!! Hahaha he's so to the point😂 sounds like you've had a long week!! Indulge in some chocolate and nosecco!x

@Justanothercyster it would make sense then wouldn't it? I suppose I'll just have to wait until my scan comes through, no point me guessing! Thankyou anyway x

@Minster2012 I got on that 🍆

@blackcurrantqueen hahaha literally no romance when it comes to FW! The plan was to not say anything this month and just keep bonking but because it was a surprise peak I had to!

@Minster2012 I remember that woman, she was lovely and I felt awful for her and her partner when they kept having cp's!! I wonder how they're getting on!! So sorry for your OH's reaction, I'm sure he didn't mean it, when they have bad days they say things they don't mean!! Sending hugs girls x

@Skip86 hahaha glad your OH is excited to use the butt plug!! Hope you had a lovely time celebrating! That outfit!! You sexy minx!!

@lucyrp I really hope you get to go today!!🤞🏼

@Florence13 oh I am so so sorry!! There's nothing I can say that'll make it any easier I know but sending you so much love and hugs❤️ I hope we can support you through it and at least make you smile!!x

Katao · 09/01/2021 09:01

@Florence13 I'm so sorry x

DOB78 · 09/01/2021 09:13

@Florence13 I'm so so sorry. Go gentle and look after yourself xx

DOB78 · 09/01/2021 09:14

@Florence13 I'm so so sorry. Go gentle and look after yourself xx

Skip86 · 09/01/2021 09:23

Oh @Florence13 darling I'm so very sorry to hear. Take care of yourself and make sure others around take care of you too xxx

DKDK123 · 09/01/2021 09:26

@Minster2012 what a shitty reply from your hubby but I would take it with a pinch of salt and put it down to men being unable to deal with multiple emotions so if hes stressed from work he's just lashing out. He's probably scared too that if youre already talking of surrogacy that means accepting the IVF might not work again which he will have his hopes pinned on it. Guys tend to only be able to deal with the here and now in my experience whereas we cover plan A-Z for all eventualities 😂

@Skip86 enjoy hubby's birthday pressys 😉

@Florence13 so gutted to hear that. Sending massive hugs your way, you know we're all here for you

Minster2012 · 09/01/2021 09:37

@Florence13 sending massive hugs your way, so so sorry. It's so hard. We think it's gonna be easy. See the lines that's it?! You look after yourself and we are here, I'm here. Always here for anyone. 💓hope we can give you some smiles and there's ALWAYS a seat lovely xxx

@Vil10 I don't think he meant it & he knows it anyway, it's not new for him, I've said it before. We talk a bit and go back to it. It might not be feasible for all anyway. @DKDK123 nailed it, as women I think we try cover all bases in our heads so that we can be happy with what we are doing. Men don't do it, their brains don't work like that, he certainly can't process like that & his work business literally works 2/3 days ahead so he really isn't programmed like that 😂🤣. In my head I kinda need to be happy we MIGHT have a back up plan?? Just in case? IYSWIM.

@Vil10 @DOB78 @Katao @Skip86 @DKDK123 thanks so much for all of your support you have all always been so great and supporting. That’s why I felt I wanted to let you know as I know everyone deals with this differently but think as soon as I can I hope to try again.

@Minster2012 thank you, you are the best bus driver and most supportive person ever. I cannot tell you how much I am rooting for you in February. Maybe we can do this together, I clearly just didn’t want to leave your side.

Vil10 · 09/01/2021 09:47

@Minster2012 yep totally get you, we try to plan ahead for things miles in advance, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that!

@Florence13 rest up, I hope you have support from everyone around you too!! There's always a seat here for you x

InkyPaper · 09/01/2021 10:42

@Florence13 I'm so sorry this is happening, sending biggest hugs for you ❤️

Florence13 · 09/01/2021 10:48

@Vil10 well only my husband knows but he is being a fantastic support thank you.

@InkyPaper thanks hun

Minster2012 · 09/01/2021 10:50

Dollybird89 · 09/01/2021 10:52

Just camped out in the car chilling... had to bring OH for last minute eye test due to blurred vision. Not good when he has to use chainsaw for a living 😱
@florence13 I'm so sorry to hear your suffering at the moment. Get lots of chocolate and nice treats in and plenty of rest!

Still no sign of af yet... no more craps or nausea tho. Wanted some more of the 🍆 last night ad almost got it... until the dog started crying (she sleeps on the bed in spare room) she was cold! So like an idiot I jumped in the spare bed with her to keep her warm... OH refuses to let her in our bed . So that was my 🍆 out the window!! Total buzz killer.

@Minister2012 ah talking of that, I was sorting baby clothes the other day and OH spotted your little present and asked who it was from, took him some time to understand 😂 you're the kindest 🥰 due date is 2nd June! Sorry to hear OH shut down the convo yesterday, it's so difficult isnt it. I'm just like you and always thinking ahead to the next step, I think men tend to stick in there here and now, annoyingly! X

@Florence13 oh no I'm so sorry 😔 sending lots of love 💕

@lucyrp ah I hope you get to change it to today? when would your 12 week scan be? X

@Vil10 chocolate is seeing me through currently 😂 x

paintfairy · 09/01/2021 12:04

@Florence13 oh no! What utter shit. I'm so sorry. Look after yourself xxx
@Minster2012 maybe just don't mention it. I think they can't think of more than one thing and he won't be thinking that far forward. Perhaps see how the ivf goes first? If it doesn't go well then bring it up again?
@Juno231 how can you do dry January when it's your birthday? 🤔🤣
@Franklydear omg the insemination thing. That's not insemination, it's just shagging around? I mean i think his other half should be aware of it (pot or no pot) because its a bit odd not discussing it in a relationship? But to go just blindly having sex (when he can do it without having to have sex, people have done it and it works) is bang out of order. He'd be out the door. With my foot firmly up his arse.

notyetamumbuttrying · 09/01/2021 12:23

@Franklydear just read that bizarre sperm
"Donation" post. Ppl are cray 🤪
@Skip86 glad he liked the butt plug now that he knows it's for use on you and not him 😂
On the dry jan front I'm doing it to lose weight as well as I'm a fat mess these days, thanks lockdown 🤪 and yeah it helps keep Dh in check. Need those swimmers top notch for ivf don't I.
@lucyrp hope you've got it changed!?
@Florence13 so sorry to hear this hun xx

Minster2012 · 09/01/2021 12:27

@Dollybird89 you look AMAZING in that pic, love it!! And so funny you going in the spare bed with the dog and losing your 🍆🤣I bet DDog was like up yours dad! 🖕🏻I win!!

@KateColx 🥰how many times have you sorted baby clothes already?! Be honest!! Noting down June 🙌🏻it's a lovely lockdown pastime.

So I think today we have established that I am a terrible influence and encourage carb eating and booze drinking 😬 sorry!
Completely 100% understand the decisions and dietary changes to be healthier in general, and also promote a fab and plush environment for conception. Hope I didn't come across an insensitive twat @Minster2012 @Juno231 @notyetamumbuttrying!!

@Dollybird89 with the dog in the spare bed 🤣

Heeey I have a little confession I'm a bit embarrassed about:
I think I'm sort of in the TWW even though we're actively trying not to conceive.
We are using pull out or condoms in FW, but the only 'tracking' I'm doing is based around the fact I previously ov'd on CD14 without fail based on EWCM and opks. So we basically just don't have unprotected sex from CD 9-15.
I know. I'm no fool and well aware this is NOT a solid form of contraception. But then of course I am the one who wants another baby so have not argued with the lax nature of our approach. In saying this though, I would never purposely 'forget' about my cycle and alway let OH know ov is expected.

But then I think I ovulated a few days early this cycle 😳
So we had had sex on CD8 and 9, and I ov'd on maybe CD11 (just going by CM and cramps).

Sorry for the long winded explanation, but I just feel a bit crazed and a bit confused.
I'm not a symptom spotter because I don't really believe in it before a period is due, but fact is I'm due in 2 days and have zero of the usual cramps I get in the 5 days before. Also have had low level nausea the last two days.
And confused because I don't know how I would feel if I was pregnant to a husband who doesn't want another baby.

Anyway, just really needed to get that out. It's probably nothing at all. I'm certainly not testing early or anything, but just wanted to let you know so the arrival (or absence) of AF in a few days is easier for me to whinge about!

Aarg oops didn't mean to bang on sorry! Love to all xx

Franklydear · 09/01/2021 13:03

@Florence13 dear, be kind to yourself and talk to us, if you feel like it, do you have a bestie that can have a coffee and a cry with you? I am so gutted for you
@Minster2012 what a horror dream
I threatened to put labels in the drawers and he doesn't want to, surprisingly doesn't have any difficulty finding his clothes, can we go for an Amazona society
I also remember our lesbian couples, learnt a lot with them

Franklydear · 09/01/2021 13:06

@Skip86 I don't know what to hope for, but if it was and he was happy...

Dollybird89 · 09/01/2021 13:49

Thanks @minster2012 yeah she looks totally pleased with herself this morning jumping on me to wake up 🤦‍♀️ now OH just accidentally smashed 2 plates... today is going well! Yesterday was just a shit day I was soooo moody and felt so ill OH didn't know how to make me feel better so he went shop and came back with chocolate 😁😁😁 instantly felt better lol . Af must be here soon surely???

Minster2012 · 09/01/2021 13:51

@Skip86 ha ha don't worry I don't mind at all, and loving the "fab and plush environment for conception" comment I'm just trying to be healthier and didn't know if anyone else trying to do the same might be interested (we allllll know I'm a fan of the booze 🤣🤔🙌🏻) but also want to support those lovely ladies here trying to do better than me 😂. Well as they say it takes two to tango & both of you agreed your approach & it's not your fault if you OVd a little earlier is it?? And you don't know yet. It could be fate. & at the end of the day your cycles could be different after your last Medicated route right?? Who knows?? You don't. He doesn't. So you can't be blamed if you had sex on CD8 & 9 then yeah it's possible of course...& well. You gotta see. I'm secretly hoping. Now you are having sex he knows it COULD happen??

@Franklydear he's just asked where the grout is. I mean that's his territory surely? Nope, I made a home for it. FFS

@Minster2012 if i ever leave home, I am just going to reorganize everything and he'll be doomed!

paintfairy · 09/01/2021 14:07

@Minster2012 I woke up screaming at 6.20am this morning. Had an awful dream. We had moved to a big house and it had ghosts but we had never really seen them. DH had argued with me about something and stomped off out with the dog. Whilst he was out I saw a ghost downstairs and so I hid in the bedroom. One appeared on the chair under a blanket but hid when I looked at it, i was sat on the bed. I was trying to phone my DH or mum but their numbers had gone and I couldn't find them and then when I finally did there was no answer. Then this other chinese man one appeared and pinned me down on the bed. I heard DH come in with some woman who was looking round the house to buy. I was trying to shout help but no words were coming out. I was panicking. It was slowly getting louder and he heard me but basically said I'm busy and wait a minute (thinking I was just going on about nothing). I was still trying to shout and when I finally did- he woke me up. Horrible! I was all out of breath.
Does this mean I'm crackers? 🤔 🤣

I've had a very stressful week to be honest. The giant dog has caused stress (not him himself exactly, but the rescue woman is a lunatic). However, hes leaving tomorrow. I'll miss him. 😢
