Entering 2021 in a Bum flap onesie for lockdown lovin, squinty lines & foul words - TTC Bus 27

[Minster2012]

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?🤔

@Dollybird89 @KateColx @paintfairy @notyetamumbuttrying thank you all x

@Franklydear I haven’t really got anyone I can talk to as it was early we hadn’t shared the news and due to lockdown haven’t really had chance to see any close friends. Just going to let myself feel sad and eat a lot of chocolate. Trying to be thankful that I got pregnant and hopefully will again one day🤞 Thanks for everyone’s support xx

Hi everyone! I’m Jordan I’m 27 I’m ttc my 3rd baby, this is my 3rd cycle ttc, I’m 10dpo and I got a very faint positive at 8dpo but negative on a frer, af due Wednesday so hoping it doesn’t arrive and it’s just too early to see a definate positive x

@paintfairy no no perfectly normal 😬 he's leaving??

@Florence13 that's why we are here xx

And I just fell up the stairs, our wooden stairs. Onto the shed with my knees. I'm now officially crippled

@Dollybird89 hope your OH is okay! And love how you comforted the dog instead of getting some 🍆 last night

@KateColx Oreo by any chance??

@Skip86 I'm sure if you were to be pregnant your DH would be thrilled, and like @Minster2012 said, it takes two to tango, he was fine with the laid back contraception sooo, im secretly hoping for you though!!

@Minster2012 that dream sounds awful!!

@Jordie24 welcome! Could be a short bus ride for you x

So, we've just got back from our first house viewing since we decided to seriously start looking at moving, it was lovely and had great potential but needed lots doing to it, new windows, insulation, heating, gas, something we didn't expect, I thought I was going to love it but wasn't overly enthusiastic when we left and had more cons than pros so decided to not pursue it, buttttt I'm not sure if anyone remembers, we saw the most perfect house a few months back and I kept looking at it online for a few months and then it went and I was gutted, I remember @Minster2012 telling me I was crazy not to view it, it's come back on the market!!! Apparently the sale fell through because the new buyers had to pull out!! So we've made a viewing for next Friday!! We came home and had a celebratory bonk🍆 so I'm here now with legs up on the wall as it's ov day! Hope everyone is having a lovely Saturday❤️

@Florence13 we’re here for you, you can pm if you want, I still remember how I felt when it happened to me in November but I no longer cry

@Florence13 I am so so sorry, how are you feeling in yourself? Be kind to yourself, cry, eat chocolate and take all the time you need 💕
I got straight back on the bus last time too as that's what I found I needed to do for me.

I'm a fucking huge ball of emotions over here. Stupidly took another test this morning and lines fainter again so I am back to thinking this isn't meant to be 😭 I have literally googled until my fingers hurt. I can't stand the not knowing.

@Franklydear ugh my partner does this, he takes stuff out the tumble dryer then doesn't fold it so it's obviously then a total crumpled mess!

@blackcurrantqueen I think the best think to do is leave it for a couple of days, stress isn’t good🤞🏻
My favourite thing when he washed the bath towels with the kitchen rags, and the whole lot smelled of cooked oil, he swears he put conditioner too🤨 let’s just wash it all again then.....

@Vil10 OMG def fate. Go get it! The house, that is you've had the sausage 🤣

@Jordie24 hi! Welcome let's hope it's a very short ride and was too early for you xx

@paintfairy I felt panicked just reading about your dream 😱

@Minster2012 @Vil10 absolutely, takes two to tango, and he is a smart enough dude to know how it all works.
I am secretly hoping too, but then I feel so guilty for that! Garrr, so confused 🙈
I feel very silly, and insensitive actually, putting all this out on this thread. Then I figure we all seem to have such interesting and unique journeys here, I hope my candor is not misplaced.

@Vil10 such great news on the house front! If it fell through the seller is probably extra keen to offload it so you could do very well there!

@blackcurrantqueen you poor thing, i would be doing the same amount of googling in your position. As @Franklydear says though, if you possibly can try to leave the tests for a few days as the ups and downs will undo you xx

OH away overnight with mates for his bday. I can never sleep when he's not here. Stupidly watched Pieces of a Woman on Netflix - I do NOT recommend while ttc!! It was quite well made but fucking heartbreaking 😭

Midnight and I suppose I should sleep now, even though my brain says stay up all night, Netflix, wine, chocolate and masturbate 😂😂
Jks. I probably won't do the chocolate part as I have cake.

@Vil10 celebratory bonk 🤣 Sounds great though! Fingers crossed.

@Minster2012 yeah he's going to a proper home. Hopefully. We weren't good enough to keep him apparently (only good enough to have him a month, at our own expense) despite the fact he's been fine, settled and is happy. I'm furious with the rescue woman (she's never met this dog) but nothing i can do. A home with people with no dog experience is where he's going. Against my advice (he's bitten here). If she'd had been in front of me the other day, I'd have drop kicked her into next week. Instead I remained calm, but only for the dogs sake. She's never once asked about him since he's been here or asked how my husband was after I said he bit him. Beggars belief.

@Florence13 I know its really early days and sorry if this is too soon but I had a CP on Boxing Day and we both decided we would try again as soon as we could.
Currently in FW and waiting to start TWW tmora.
I'm grateful we know we can get pregnant and it happened so fast. I think mine was due to having Covid in November affected our egg/sperm quality.
I hope your able to try again soon and send positive vibes your way x

So sorry @Florence13 🥺 life is cruel

Helloooo ladies, I've decided to make it back to you all - I have missed hearing all about your antics!!! So so sorry if I missed any BFPs or any big news. Think just having a bit of a break from TTC has helped. Due AF today, no sign yet but pretty certain she's on her way. I've got myself some Seven Seas on the way I remember a few of you having successes with those!

I am currently on cover for our call centre, from home. Boooooooring as hell and working shifts, yay x

Hey @Kirky658 welcome back!! Good to see you!

And @blackcurrantqueen I just saw your message nooooooooo why more tests?! After your bloods the other day you have a scan soon right?? @lucyrp come talk some sense into this lady....please step away from the tests ppl we need good news.

Ummmmm @Skip86 you are not insensitive at all this is exactly why we are here??

Ladies Jesus we are nearly needing a new bus again and genuinely have no titles. Help!!

@Vil10 aww that sounds like it was meant to be, hope all goes well with the viewing and the house is what you want.

@Minster2012 I hope your knees are ok?

@Franklydear thank you I keep bursting into tears then have an hour or two where I’m alright again.

@blackcurrantqueen I am a bit of a mess at present but yes think I will be getting straight back on the bus when everything settles thank you. I hope all works out for you, keeping my fingers crossed.

@Skip86 like you say your OH knows that is not the most reliable method so if you are then I think you have every right to be happy and I’m sure if you are pregnant your OH would feel different. It takes two to tango.

@DOB78 thanks for sharing your experience hun.

@2020mission thank you it really does feel that way at the moment.

@Skip86 the things I tell you lot, you're safe here, I secretly hope too, I think it'll work and I base that in that I want it to....
@DOB78 I also carried on ttcing straight away, but I couldn't have done it without you all, it seems a life time ago
We finally took the tree and decorations down, we are not crazy, Xmas finished on the 6th for us, all back in the boxes until next year (all decorations must be the same ones, allowing for maybe a small addition, so ds can tolerate the sensory overload) normally restricted to the living room, but this year he put some of the garlands on the banister

Thanks everyone for well wishes for the scan, everything fine. One healthy baby with a heartbeat at exactly what I thought I was measuring 🥰

@blackcurrantqueen please don't torture yourself doing test after test, I learnt the hard way too. I did a test yesterday and the day before wit just urine and my like was the faintest I've ever seen! But I tried the hook effect and the line was slightly darker but not by much but been for a private scan today and everything is well so the tests can't really tell you much more after the first one other than your pregnant. Should really ignore the strength of the line etc. How far along are you ??

@Minster2012 - might be Dry January but it's not Dry Fanuary!

@Skip86 hey I didn't think that, don't worry. There's defo arguments to drink too which are all valid and sane so totally got where you were coming from 😘
Mad that you're in a tww, you def could be pregnant...have you told Dh about your early ov or will you just say once/if you're late?
@Florence13 you defo will again hun, enjoy all the chocolate xx
@Minster2012 eek hope your knee heals soon!
@Vil10 sounds like a good Saturday 😉

I'm just bk from a two hour walk by the Thames and my hip hurts, god I'm getting old 😆

@lucyrp yay Lucy, great news!!
@BlondePotter yes 🙌🏾 I got some today too 😜

@Florence13 yes, exactly that, ok most of the time, except when I bursted into tears out of the blue, keep talking lovely, it really helps, and just cry, no stiff upper lip
@Kirky658 hello back, we are back on speed bus so hold on tight, there's about 3 pages every day when I finish work....
Tittles, hmmmm, @Skip86 little number deserves a mention, and IVF needs to feature, and the sisterhood and you already rejected metal up your ass, so ....

@Skip86 I think it would be fate! 🥰

@Minster2012 one of the same sex couple is in our fb group, I only know her real name now not username though. But all is well with them.

@Juno231 no renovation required- other than treating some wood worm and tiny bit of rising damp that the survey came back with. All the rooms are kitted out in Laura Ashley wallpaper 😍 which I love, but yep will have to strip it off the baby room, can't have a flowery room for him 😆 no rush though as I can sleep in the other spare bedroom with him and can decorate once he has been born 😌 Will be moving in before mis Feb, hopefully before Feb 🤞
Thats so annoying about your architect! thats their bloody job! Delaying everything 😣

@lucyrp I think I am like 4 weeks + 1 day from my LMP / 18dpo
I need to just calm down; but from what I've read lines getting lighter is not good in any sense. They are definitely lighter the only slightly weird thing is that they have stayed the exact same level all day where I'd have expected with hydration levels they'd change slightly.
The picture is so dark because I'm sat in my room in the dark sobbing 😢😂
This is exactly why I didn't want to let myself get hopeful. I will repeat again in the morning and hope for a miracle.

How far along are you? That is such brilliant news about your scan 💞

@Minster2012 sorry to hear about your poorly knees, are you sure that's how it really happened? 😉

@Vil10 will cross my fingers you find the perfect new home and those swimmers find an excellent home in your uterus 😀

@paintfairy i am so sorry I must have missed the bit about giant dog leaving, how sad for you all 😭 also that dream sounds bloody horrible

@blackcurrantqueen testing all day every day certainly isn't good for you and you may not even see a difference with the tests from today to tomorrow's as it takes 48 hours for the Hcg to double etc. Please try not to worry but I know it's hard. Even with the terrible sickness and various other things I've had I was even worried there was nothing in there or it wasn't progressing as it should. Thank you, I'm 8 weeks today 🥰 got my fingers crossed for you. Sending lots of love
