The filthy sisterhood of basques 👯‍♀️babydolls with easy access holes, IVF drugs & supportive hugs -TTC bus 28

[Minster2012]

Well ladies we made it all of 9 days before needing a new bus, I think I’ve had farts that lasted long, especially when they were in a bag (in blog joke) and now it’s an extra long one...bus, not fart 😜.

We are a chatty bunch it seems and we like to encourage ppl to get involved with our racing car of a TTC bus which can also be a bit of sex education class as well!

It may seem a strange ride here as we’ve got all sorts on our bus (not just the animals). We’ve got long term ticket holders where some of us have been around each other for longer than we care to remember now (so bloody hell some ppl here REALLY are bloody owed a sticky BFP now right??) but cos we love 💓each other and genuinely care about each other we cling together...despite some of us heading of to the infertility clinics, and we’ve got some newbies at the start of their TTC journeys, child number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 18 we don’t care.

Any questions ask away, we LOVE ppl to get involved...we love those who chatter!! We also love a sex toy 😉

And if you see mention of my blog then blame these guys they made me do it...#shamelessplug

5 BFP already for jan...who is next?? 🥰

@notyetamumbuttrying have you worked me out? I've just seen you'd worked someone out by dogs and it made me think 🙊🤣

Wow I missed a few days and had ALOT to catch up on... Sorry ive been MIA recently. I was enjoying my last weekend off before back to work today and had to finish the last season of Schitts Creek!! If you havnt seen it, you definitely need to. So good!

Nothing new from me, not expecting ovulation for another week yet. Back to work today after just over 2 weeks off and it was BUSY... So I was knackered, fell asleep on the sofa after dinner for 2hrs and now I cant sleep at actual bedtime 🙈

Congratulations on the BFP @kirky658! Amazing news. And good luck to those testing soon, I've got a good feeling about the next few days 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@minster2012 I love everyone following your page and trying to work out who's who haha I'm guilty too. However if people don't want to be outed then a private account is the solution so dw 😉

I think all social media can be really hard work but if you cultivate the right feed & only follow pages that bring you joy then it's a much nicer place. Its taken me a while to get it right and I regularly cull the stuff that I don't enjoy anymore. I love it tho 🥰

I'm going to try to be more present here - it's hard with such a chatty bus again but I love it & I will endeavour to keep up 🚌✨

Thanks for all of the support for me and my short cervix 😂💖

For those asking about the pros and cons - the stitch is the oldest method used and most tested, needs to be done under anaesthetic and has a slight risk of miscarriage (she did say very slight, but still it makes me anxious).

The pessary option is a newer method, and can be 'popped in' (I saw the size of it, no popping that thing in 😂), so there's less risks and from the results I've found online it's pretty effective.

They would then take it out at 37 weeks, so that's my plan!

Right, I'm off to stalk @Minister2012 insta followers 😂 just joking.

I do love Instagram but agree you need to curate your feed to remove anything that brings you down 🥰💖

@sausage1990 thank you so much hun, hope that you're doing okay now? ❤️

Also how the hell did you all stay up till gone midnight.. I was in bed at 9:30pm, wide awake at 3am and now up for work... Joy!!

Morning everyone
Temp away down today so not even going to test just going to wait for AF.

Hope everyone has a good day, off to work I go.
Will catch up with everybody tonight xx

@Minster2012 I have followed you too, happy to be followed back ☺️

@kirky658 thanks for asking hun - I'm doing alot better. Feeling myself again which is really nice tbh... Trying to spend a bit more time with self care & eating well, after kinda neglecting myself these last few months & just getting back to me 🥰 Looking forward to actually being able to ttc again this month 💕

haha yeah it was a super late night. I had an accidental sofa nap from 7.30pm to 9.30pm because I was knackered after the busiest 1st day back in work so once I'd got up to do all my pre bed stuff I couldn't actually sleep then when I went to bed. Which was super annoying. It did allow me to catch up with all you guys tho so that's OK.... I am however struggling this morning & can say with 100% certainty that today will be fuelled by alot of coffee!!!

@KateColx I have totally stalked a certain persons followers and followed a couple of ladies but only because they're on the Facebook group and I know who they are already😉🥰 the pessary sounds a good option! I too love Instagram but depends on what I've been doing if I post a lot or don't post for weeks 🤣 I think I last posted at the end of November 🙈🙈

@KateColx I'm excited to write haha, I'll try and stick with it this time as I feel quite passionate about this topic now after everything, I think that helps x

@LB20xx love it 😂

@blackcurrantqueen oh god yes not one for the younguns haha!

@BlondePotter I think part of the issue before was a lack of planning and direction but I literally have the whole thing in my head which is nice! Going to do some plans today and then get going 🤓

@Minster2012 I think any motivation at this point is a blessing 😅
I'm curious about the picture! Is it on your blog?

@Vil10 😂😂😂 I'm actually considering no asking dh to get a pipette from school as he's a science teacher, you know, just in case 🤣🤣

@blodyn91 im pretty easy to spot on there but my account is private 😂 Love a pic of the sunset 😉 tbh I don't mind anymore so if anyone wants to stalk and follow they can 👍🏻
@Minster2012 don't worry! People can make it private :)

@2020mission totally get that about Insta. I love it though just because I love taking pics, and although I do have a gallery for myself it's nice to share with others. I actually have 3 accounts 🙈 one for my tortoise for other reptile enthusiasts and one for my nature page 💚

@sausage1990 really glad to hear you're taking care of yourself lovely. You got this 👍😘

@Minster2012 hope you got an okay amount of sleep in the end

@KateColx the pessary sounds good although I'm intrigued at the size of it 😅. Does that mean no more dtd for the rest of the pregnancy?

@DJmum83 pfft that temp means nothing, I'm crossing my fingers for you 🤞

@2020mission if you ever do a house reno I will say insta is a godsend! I'm following so many people doing the exact same extensions as myself in the same type of house. Everyone seems to tag the companies they're using, the colour paint chosen, where retire furniture, light switches and door handles are from so I'm finding so much practical inspiration on there 😁

My temp has shot back up today 🤞. Just waiting to see what my RHR will settle at today as well.

Where they bought their furniture *

Wtf

@Juno231 just have a feeling not my month.

But I have really good feeling about your chart. My fingers toes everything are crossed for you xxx

Well ladies good morning,

I think I was the only person who hasn't stalked my followers as I wasn't in the frame of mind after "carrotgate" last night but quick look & you are ALL BEAUTIFUL HUMANS with beautiful doggies but we knew that...I think I can learn a few things from some of you on the posing stakes 🤪but I'm old and weary 😋& don't really care meh

I got some sleep but lost myself on a thread on here & DH whinged at me so ended up simpering crying/trying to sleep & managed it.

Anyways @blackcurrantqueen ghosts??? Before sleep? What?!

@KateColx you show me your pessaries I will show you mine...I'm also intrigued like @Juno231 if it's a one thing or one per night? Like mine are 3 a night shortly? You surely can't take it out...can you???🤔

@DJmum83 you are just super chilled right???

@Sausage1990 heryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy we love you!! ❤️🥰🙌🏻

@Justanothercyster you are curious about what picture? Carrots? Yeah read the blog last night was a bit shit

@Juno231 OMG you can lose hours looking at house stuff 😜and you are hot today!

@InkyPaper hows them boobs??

@LB20xx I can't even remember now so I'm not that much of detective after all 😂
@KateColx glad you solved it, sounds like a good alternative to me!
@lucyrp I'm like that too. Can be loads or nothing for months! How you getting on?
@Sausage1990 heya! Hope you get through today ok, glad you're doing loads better hun x
@Justanothercyster love that you have one for your tortoise 🐢😍
@Juno231 ooh here's hoping it stays up! 🤞🏾

@Minster2012 I think the pessary @KateColx has been offered is like a big plastic ring 😬

@notyetamumbuttrying yeah I'm okay thank you, the sickness calmed down yesterday during the day but came back a little bit in the evening. I'm waiting to see what kicks in this morning 😅 I'm still exhausted and out of breath from going up and down the stairs 😂 just waiting for my 12 week scan to come through and for a bump to appear 🥺

@lucyrp ah bless you babe, not long now! They say you show sooner with your second don't they. X

Tried to catch up a bit - I was waaaay too tired yesterday 😂 had an interesting chat with my mum. Apparently my auntie had all the same symptoms I do before each of her BFPs, but then mum cautioned me to not get my hopes up and then told me I was overthinking everything 😂

@Justanothercyster yes!! Love it!! Get that idea written down!! 🙌

@KateColx big hugs, that sounds like a lot to be dealing with ♥️

@blackcurrantqueen thanks lovely! Testing tomorrow morning so we'll see what happens!

@Minster2012 thanks lovely ♥️ I know it sounds silly but I'm determined to hold off until tomorrow as then it'll have been 14 days since I think I ovulated, so I figure that it could be more likely I might get a BFP. Trying to prepare myself for a negative test tomorrow as this could all just be horrible pms and nothing else. Boobs are still a bit sore but nothing like they were yesterday 🤔

@Sausage1990 I love Schitt's Creek! The finale killed me, I loved it - what did you think?

@lucyrp yay for the sickness calming down a little! Hope its a little easier for you to manage

@InkyPaper that's cool that you can chat to your mum about this stuff! My mum got accidentally pregnant with me and I don't think she had a clue what she was doing when getting pregnant with my brother. She's not the sharpest tool in the box, truth be told! You've just reminded me I need to finish watching the last season of Schitt's creek! Their gifs on whatsapp are a godsend btw ha.

@DJmum83 @notyetamumbuttrying @Minster2012 thank you ladies but we all know what happened with my chart last cycle! It was so so promising and was naught but a big fat NEGATIVE.

@Minster2012 yeah definitely not me testing. I'm only 3dpo 🤣 Had a bit of action this morning though, just in case my calculations are incorrect.

@2020mission I literally do not get insta. Its just photos? I can't work it out. 🤣

@InkyPaper best of luck for tomorrow!! We'll all have fingers crossed for you 🤞🏾 I'm due on tomorrow but I'm 99% sure that I will come on though which is a shame. I always leave that 1% of hope to linger.
@Juno231 ah what a shame your chart messes with you so much! Still hard not to hope just a little though.
I'm on s1 of schitts creek, I hear it gets better so need to get bk to it soon! X

@lucyrp @KateColx if it is a big plastic ring then i saw one of those on the side the other day when I was in the epu!!!

Just been to the supermarket
I could only get pink grapefruit juice is this ok? 😂 or do I need just grapefruit juice... @Minster2012
I've got my seven seas, pomegranate, grapefruit, evening primrose oil and vitamin b6 at the ready for next cycle.
Did another test this morning - still positive but again much fainter on the FRER. the IC went all blurry so I think it was faulty
Feeling pissed off with my body now 😡

@Justanothercyster looking forward to this book you best get writing I think it would be epic.

@KateColx sorry your cervix is giving you a tough time of it but I’m sure whichever option you choose will work well.

@Juno231 well I hope your chart is not messing with you and that it’s all leading to good things.

@Sausage1990 glad your feeling better and ready to get back to TTC.

Sorry if I have missed people it’s amazing how much you can miss having a couple of days off. My bleeding appears to be settling down so guess it’s all nearly over for me. Not sure whether to give myself a month or whether to just not try but not prevent.

@notyetamumbuttrying yeah they reckon so and I've lost like 8 pounds since being pregnant because I've been so sick so hoping il get a nice round bump again! I can't remember when I first showed last time, maybe around 14 weeks?

@InkyPaper I think I'm more used to feeling like crap now so able to do more as I just get on with it until I feel like I'm going to collapse then have to sit down to recover then go again😂
