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

@Minster2012 yay another bus. 😁 Feels weird being on the dish list finally.
@Franklydear no i know. Any sane person knows that. He's not a bad dog at all, don't get me wrong. He just needs the right channeling.
@Skip86 the dream was terrifying, I can tell you. I'm glad I wasn't in bed alone.
@blackcurrantqueen oh no. Please don't get stressed. I know it's hard. Worrying won't help, try and distract yourself with something. Hugs to you. And yes we'll be really sad about the dog.
@Kirky658 welcome back! 😊
@Justanothercyster does it itch? I've had that before and it itched like hell. I just bought Caneston. I've also had the bacterial thing though before (that's more fishy as opposed to furry (wtf am I explaining here)). The balance active BV gel works for that. Is it actually inside? Or sore on a patch more outside? I am not a dr..... 🤣

@Minster2012 I’m using OPK’s, I have very regular 28 day cycles and last month got positive OPK on day 13. I’ll attach a picture - top 3 tests are CD 13 and bottom 2 tests are CD 14 (today). They all look the same to me 🙈

Great post on reddit today debunking the myth of sex in the TWW being harmful to TTC!

@Minster2012 due date is 19th May but been measuring 4 days ahead at every scan 🤷‍♀️ seems to be flying in now and I keep panicking that I'm not ready 🤣🤣 having to start from scratch again after 13 and a half years is daunting sometimes I think I'm crazy lol stupid hormones 🤦‍♀️

@Justanothercyster I never knew there was a test? Every day is a school day they say! Hopefully clears up quickly for u so u can get bonking (this word is cracking me up today 🤣)

@Vil10 ooh I couldn't have a test in the house and not use it 🤦‍♀️ even my 13 year old dd says she misses the testing days 🤣🤣 she was my wee ttc buddy. She wanted to be 1st to know so wasn't allowed to test without her 🤦‍♀️🤣🤣

@Franklydear I'm the same have to tell work and my Daughters the youngest one is nearly 17 but still climbs all over me like a toddler and jumps on me in bed. My eldest is nearly 21 and also climbs on my knee all the time.
Theres no way I want to test early again and jinx us.
I worry a bit that my body won't be ready and implantation won't happen again too. It feels ready and everything seems to be working as it should. The 1 thing I have noticed is ov pain has been so bad today like took my breath away never had that before......
Ah sorry went into one there

@DOB78 oh yeah, I know the feeling, I have convinced myself that it now won't happen, don't ask me why, I also have the extra worry that I want to give birth before turning 45, so not a lot of time.... I started having pulling cramps behind my belly button today, who knows why, still 8 days till af is even due, probably indigestion, body is saying stop eating polvorones!

@AHobbyaweek do you sell your knitting?

@Leah2501 hmmmm they do all look the same, usually ppl get a bit of a dye stealer for a peak def, did you use them for your first child? It's only your second cycle i guess though @Juno231 @Vil10 can you help? They don't look like a peak do they? Do you drink much in between? What did your positive from last month look like to compare? But still if you are DTD doesn't really matter

@Catherinettc bloody hell don't forget you've still had practice and you've got help! Mostly parenting is winging it and checking google right anyway?? You'll be fine in a wee while 🤪😂and so what if you are crazy anyway

@DOB78 😜

So DH is having a zoom poker night tonight. They did it all Over last lockdown. They've literally just spent 45 mins trying to "get into" the online poker games room together. So they've started playing at 9.10. Honestly. FFS. So I've got to sit with my headphones on to drown out their stupid shouting conversation. Urgh.

Plus how comfy are these dogs???

I'm sat having to watch alien 3 🤦‍♀️ not my cuppa tea and I keep nodding lol. The 💩 post made me laugh @minster2012 your blog is bloody brilliant!

@Minster2012 well I'm glad you finally do, and I'm here for it!!🙋🏽‍♀️ welll af is due around 22nd/23rd and I usually spot 2/3 days before hand, so I haven't started spotting by the 21st, an frer will be coming out I think!! Yess friday!! I can't wait to view it, I'll deffo let you all know all the details! Hahahaha my outer flap definitely wasn't to be touched these last few days! Look at your doggos!! Hope you're having a nice night (above the shouting of poker)

@Leah2501 welcome!! Just keep bonking and you'll be covered!x

@Catherinettc hahaha bless her!! That's lovely that you got her so involved though!! How sweet🥰

@Leah2501 @Minster2012 they're definitely positive with being the same as the control line but peak is usually a lot darker, and a dye stealer, you could just be drinking too much before testing and diluting your wee, or testing at different times? I know it's suggested not to test with fmu for opks, I think they usually say between 11-5, I drink a lot of water usually and on the days I know I'm going to be taking an opk I try to hold off on the water drinking and have a good wee hold x

@Leah2501 also I find easy@home opks are so much easier to read than other ones if you are just sticking to cheapy ones (I've never used clear blue ones), the easy@home ones are a thicker strip and more clear I feel

@Dollybird89 I'm not usually into those kind of films but I kinda love the alien ones! Thank you so much lovely 🥰I'm rooting forward you so much this month (do we say month with your cycles?) 😂

@Leah2501 I echo what @Vil10 says but they look close so you are likely near 🤞🏻

@Vil10 im watching the cabins 🤣& drinking a glass of vino

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4131103-Teacher-not-coming-to-parents-evening-on-her-day-off And one for the teachers, is nice to be appreciated hah? By the way, when she says is in the evenings, doubt they’ll be working, I never go to teacher evenings, dh does, I don’t get home until 7

@Vil10 yes! Canesten does a home testing kit called Canestest! I only learned this today haha. Oh no not the flap! God what are we like 😂🙈

@Minster2012 Poo?!?! Did I miss this?? And see above about testing kit. @Catherinettc

@paintfairy haha it's definitely thrush, not BV. Not smelly or anything like that, just burny and itchy, lots of cm as if I'm ovulating 🙈 I've had both before and it feels more like thrush, but this magical testing kit (see above) will tell me hopefully. I'll just get some Canesten anyway as that's what's worked before.

The wondrous testing kit if anyone's interested 😂:

@minster2012 I didnt mind the film too much .. I just would sooner play on Xbox shooting stuff lol.

I don't think ive had a normal cycle since mc in may! I've forgotten what they are like! I don't know what my body wants to do anymore. I get irritated bowels and stomach before af arrives and feeling really ill... never used to suffer like this before mc so I think it must have really impacted on my body in some form yet all hormone tests and blood tests until now have been normal. Was supposed to have received a call from infertility clinic by the 6th but nothing yet do I think I'm gonna wait for af to make an appearance before I call them. ... I'm taking weekly vit d supplements iron and folic acid supplements and drinking pom juice (am I the only one that likes it?) Wellness team have started me on a good diary for now to see where I'm at and so far I've forgotten to do it for 3 days 🤦‍♀️🙄 plus it doesn't help when OH buys me snacks and chocolate... my bmi is at 68 atm it's shocking and it's finally time I wanted to drop at least 10 st if not more.... and the dam gyms are shut!...

Sorry for the long post .. it kinda helps me to write it to get my own head around at where I'm at lol

@Franklydear Jesus. That MIL sounds like a right cow. And the husband useless. Is he a cardboard cutout....... 🤣🤣

@Dollybird89 now you know why I'm finding the blog cathartic! And my history goes back to 2011 😂🤣you might be reading til 2034 🤦🏼‍♀️. Well @lucyrp suffered really badly with her cycles after her CP/MC in may then had an appointment with the fertility clinic for jan or feb?? And got pregnant...soooooo you are due to get back on track and pregnant you will be pleased to find out 😉so there. After AF you make sure you call them. Or let's hope AF doesn't come with good reason. And yes, you probs are the only person who likes the Pom 🤔but that's no bad thing!

On the weight/BMI & gyms, start small. What can you do that's achievable? Do the joe wicks PE each day or 3 times a week? Go for a fast power walk for the duration of "something?" (3 chapters of an audible book?) a 10 minute something? A walk for 15 minutes. And what can you change diet wise? I have a sweet tooth, I eat some chocolate every day. So I have to try make sure it's like "one strip". Sometimes it's half a full bar. But we all have shit days. I know I'm not going to stop eating chocolate. 🤷‍♀️

@DJmum83 OH had a bottle of wine Thurs - another one yesterday and he's had 8 bottles of beer and a glass of wine so far today 🤣. I had Heineken 0.0 today and yday just to feel like I'm partaking 😁

@Juno231 wowzas that's a fair amount! Does he usually drink that much or is it his birthday? 😂

@minster2012 i take all suggestions no wrong word said on this bus! I do have some walking everyday walking the dog up to 4 times a day for 10mins at a time.. getting a stepper thingy this week I think so trying to up my activity slowly.. but thanks for the joe wikes suggestion I saw that a while back and was just thinking I wanted to find something on YouTube but I'd forgotten his name!
