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

@lucyrp wowza that's a lot! I'm sure you'll start gaining soon and have a lovely round bump 😊 are you still working at the mo?

@notyetamumbuttrying lack of appetite and sickness doesn't go well together 😅 no I'm at home for the whole of January, I have to go to work once a week but only for like 10 minutes and don't have to see anyone! Dreading starting back in February and telling my boss, but hopefully il be second trimester by then so most of it will have passed 🤣

@Florence13 glad the bleeding has settled, I'm not sure on the trying, after a MMC apparently you are meant to not have sex for a few days but we missed that bit & survived!! It's infection really

@InkyPaper & @paintfairy fir some reason I struggle with your usernames that I think are similar so sorry!! I'm just rubbish basically! @InkyPaper it makes perfect sense to wait til tomorrow darling we are all behind you 🥰😘sorry @paintfairy rubbish bus driver!

@Juno231 I know but we gotta have hope right!?

@blackcurrantqueen I think any grapefruit juice works we just thought that the golden one tasted nice, you are all prepared so try not to be pissed off xxx

@inkypaper OMG I loved it. I was in bits though – so many feels. There’s like a bonus thing after the last episode like a saying goodbye to the programme type thing and I cried all over again. Such good writing. I have since watched many YouTube videos of cast interviews & although I was late to the game with it, I’m just not ready for it to be over lol... I need a new series to watch now!

@katecolx just wanting to send some love to you – you’ve had a big few days so just sending a big hug & encouragement.🥰

@juno231 I’m sending such positive vibes out into the universe & keeping everything crossed. I completely agree about Instagram house accounts. I have so many that I follow and just gives me such inspiration for my house. I’m like you that I’ve found a few houses that are like mine that are #housegoals haha – and yes get onto season 6 it’s fab!!!

@notyetamumbuttrying thank you doll I really am – how are things with you? Sorry if I’ve missed stuff. And yes Schitts creek definitely gets better as the characters grow so do persist. Xx

@paintfairy yeah instagram is so hard to explain. It is photos/posts but it’s in the captions, there’s stories & videos and just different communities of people. And you can make it what you want. I started mine as a slimming world account to begin with and over the years has changed – I’ve since got rid loads of idea bullshit and moved to more uplifting stuff, house stuff, dogs, motherhood stuff. I’d encourage you to give it a try & you don’t need to post at all to enjoy it – it’s just got a nice vibe!

@blackcurrantqueen I’m so sorry you’re going through this turmoil & unknown thing. Sending so much love & keeping everything crossed for a good outcome for you. Xxx

@florence13 thanks hun. I’m sorry you’re going through it too. I think the decision about waiting a month is really personal. I know for me I couldn’t try for a few months with the prolonged bleeding but I had already decided to leave it a month just to let my hormones settle & body heal. Do whatever feels right for you. 💕

@paintfairy haha glad I'm not the only one that doesn't get it. Maybe it's an age thing? I'm in my 30s after all 😆 don't even get me started on tiktok

Someone please give me a tip to get AF on the way - I'm now on day 5 of spotting. Very fed up with this every month. It's definitely more frustrating knowing you've not conceived but can't just get on to the next cycle to start again! Would like to get AF out of the way before the weekend too 🍆

@Minster2012 oh the one you mentioned about ivf!

@notyetamumbuttrying he's literally my life 😂🐢💚

@Florence13 thank you! It's fictional but will draw on mine and lots of other different ttc experiences. I hope I do it justice x

@Minster2012 yes I’m not in a major rush but there is a part of me that just wants to be intimate with hubby as well if that’s makes sense?

@Sausage1990 thank you I’m just not sure how I feel at the moment to be honest I keep swapping between wanting to just jump back in once everything has settled then thinking I don’t know if I need to give myself a month emotionally.

@Justanothercyster I’m sure you would do it justice!

@Justanothercyster they are all on the blog lovely hopefully split into the past & the present

@2020mission that's really frustrating bloody annoying, come on AF!! I'm wanting that too (I think she might be listening though I'm cramping)

@Florence13 that's totally understandable could you plan a nice date night Friday or Saturday ❤️

@lucyrp eek do you think they won't take it well then?

Hit post too soon...

@Sausage1990 thank you! and I agree the writing is brill - the brother/sisters facial expressions are golden and the mum's chat is

@Sausage1990 I'm ok thanks, bit worried about my appointment getting cancelled but not a lot I can do, so trying to push it to the bk of my mind. Ok will go bk to it as everyone does rave about it! So glad you're doing better now hun x
@Justanothercyster bless ya. It's a pretty cool pet to have!
@Minster2012 ooh cramping is good then! 🤞🏾

@Juno231 it's pretty shocking that her GP didn't pick up on the low progesterone! Is she going to follow up now?

@notyetamumbuttrying I saw another lady with the same problem on MN last week where her GP insisted that it meant ovulation had occurred even though the NICE guidelines say the opposite. What on earth, shocking! I told my friend to get back to her GP on it but as she's waiting for a fertility appointment I wouldn't be surprised if she just left it for now.

Hiya.
Just wanted to offer a bit of positivity for people like me who were convinced if RHR didn't rise, they were out!

Mine has only just begun to rise, its gone from normally about 44 to 50 now.

One thing I have noticed is that running is SO SO hard now!! Think I just have to listen to my body and take it easier.

Also sorry if this is a trigger for anyone.. But sex during pregnancy. Is it ok to go for it? I'm just a teeny bit scared something will go wrong...

And @lucyrp obvs very very early days for me yet but my boss I know will not take it well 🤣

@Kirky658 we've been having sex still just nothing rough, about once a week! My boss will act excited for me but then be crying internally about our already decreasing team 😅😂

@Juno231 yeah me and mum talk about everything and anything, we're really close 😊 it's so bad about that GP, feels like you practically have to go to med school yourself if you wanna get a decent result. Nevermind waiting for them to dismiss every problem as being down to weight 🙄

@notyetamumbuttrying thanks lovely!

@lucyrp haha oh bless ya! It's amazing what you can get used to isn't it?!

@Sausage1990 all the feels!! I just loved them all 🥰 but I think David and Moira were my favourite characters overall

@lucyrp that's a relief, think for me I'm scared I'll bleed because that's happened a lot before with my endo so I'm bound to be scared! Have to tell DH to be gentle 😅

Haha that's manager's for you. Mine probably won't even pretend to be pleased. She will probably say something like 'omg you're so young' - I am 27 next month and I'll be the only woman in my team not in my late 30s early 40s. None of them have kids and want any. But the men in our team have kids! Lol x

The ghost thread for anybody interested
Do you believe in 'ghosts'? www.mumsnet.com/Talk/amibeing_unreasonable/4132952-Do-you-believe-in-ghosts

@Florence13 nice to hear from you, it is a very personal decision and I'm sure as you get closer to the time it'll become clear what is right for you 💕 lots of love x

@notyetamumbuttrying she'll be fine but annoyed I've kept it from her so long 😂

@InkyPaper yeah definitely! Afternoon naps are a must

@Kirky658 I refrained for the first week but then I couldn't not have it as we are quite intimate anyway 😅 OH couldn't care less if we had jr or not but I think it makes a difference to how much cuddling we do etc if we don't 🤣 my manager came back from maternity in July after having gone through ivf to get pregnant and 2 other team members have not long returned to work after maternity so I guess she'll be glad I wasn't gone the same time 😂

@Minster2012 yes think I will do that plan a nice date night thanks hun.

@blackcurrantqueen thank you and sorry to hear you are having a tough time too.

@Kirky658 I've always been one to keep checking my rhr, and sometimes it's proper teased me! Is there any chance you could post a pic of yours around when you ovulated and got your BFP?x

@vil10 yeah sure thing, sorry I have a Garmin not a Fitbit so the charts are crap!! I think I ovd about 25th Dec so marked on the graph I had a dip that day then an increase the next. Had a dip of 2 or 3 bpm about 10 dpo. Then got my BFP about 16dpo and its been rising slightly. Tried to mark on the pic for you. Xx

@Juno231 that is shocking! Well let's hope her referral comes through and doesn't get postponed!
@lucyrp ah fair enough. Tough tits to her really! It's your news to share as and when you wish! You don't even have to tell them until 5 months or something I think.

@Kirky658 Thankyou so much that's really helpful! I get too caught up on rhr and it really bothers me! I need to stop looking at it so much x
