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

Evening all 😊 hope you've had a good day! I decided to pick up a pack of seven seas today - hoping they might work some miracles for me too 😄

I was feeling really crappy but then DH just gave me a big cuddle and said that we knew it could take a really long time and that it's ok. I think I had it in my head I was just massively letting him down so it was nice to hear that he's not like blaming me or anything.

@DJmum83 I can't see anything but I'm blind as a bat so that doesn't mean much. Still seems early to test, maybe test again in a couple of days??

@Justanothercyster I'm the same, being sick scares me too! 🙈 My mum told me she didn't actually get sickness with her pregnancies, just nausea so I'm praying that if I ever do get pregnant I'll be like her!

The only thing I would definitely buy new is a car seat, aside from that second hand all the way!

Hi thanks all.

Think it's just wishful thinking my eyes are wanting to see it so playing tricks on me.

I have 1 digital test in the cupboard if AF not here Saturday I'll test then xxx

Awwww @InkyPaper that's so lovely!!

@DJmum83 really hoping there is something there 🤞🏻def could be

I got totally distracted by getting my old laptop out trying to find pictures for my blog and OMG I really should have done it sooner cos I found what I was Looking for, and now I really should add it but it might be a bit weird but also got really nostalgic looking at old pictures of both DH & I 😂including finding pictures that I said to DH "what the hell were you doing there?!" Ahhh he said, they were for my dating profile. There were the outtakes 🤣

@Juno231 she is indeed single, perpetually so as well! So I can see why she's going for it. She's pretty cagey tho so I don't know when she's gonna take the plunge, she's had tests and scans and she's all good! I hope I get in first with ivf tho 😬
@Minster2012 mmm yummy too! Ooh annoying the witch hasn't show. At least I can always rely on mine to show and cause me pain 😩
@DJmum83 I must have super eyes then lol as I could see it so faintly. I thought I could anyway 😂 🤷🏾‍♀️ I'm glad you have a digi, save that for Saturday! How many dpo are you?

@notyetamumbuttrying I spoke too soon, the witch arrives! But that's good actually.

I want winnnnnneeeeer

Hi all, any room on the bus? I’m a long time lurker 👀 about ten threads deep and it seems like my kind of bus just haven’t had chance to msg yet as it seems to move super quick!

Back story, TTC #2. #1 was conceived by DH doing not a lot more than looking at me 🙈 This time round we’re 7 months in; MC at 6 weeks in July and MMC at 11 weeks in December. Mentally I think we’ve come out the other side ok after many wobbles. Ov day today and we’re all shagged out 🍆 onto the TWW 🤪

@Minster2012 glad the witch has turned up for you, I’m getting excited for you!!

@DJmum83 sorry I can’t see anything hun but that doesn’t mean there isn’t in real life.

@notyetamumbuttrying aww I hope you get there first to. I mean my sister is having her third and I’m over here struggling to get one.

Evening ladies
Hope your days have all been ok 😘

I have spent most the day in bed, perfecting a cross stitch for my sister! And the plasterer has done most of my downstairs hallway. So that's kept me busy thinking what I can do to decorate!
Did a test this afternoon and it was negative. So now I don't know what happens next as other than a very light bleed a week ago (after which the HCG had gone up...) I've had nothing! Going to call EPU in the morning, I just really struggle with them over the phone so I've been avoiding calling... I also don't want to go up as it is where I work and I always bump into someone I know!

@DJmum83 I can see something super super faint and I have severe line eyes. But I will cross everything for you!
@InkyPaper oh lovely I'm sorry you're feeling crap! Be kind to yourself! Seven seas for the win 😂
@Minster2012 have you figured out who is who on Instagram yet? 😂
@Katao holding off testing is so difficult, you can do this 😂

@notyetamumbuttrying I'm 11dpo.
I wasn't going to show test or pictures to hubby but I did and he sees it too.
Why did I bloody test 😢
I'll wait for Saturday and see what it brings.

@Minster2012 sorry about AF but good in a way for phoning clinic isn't it? Xx

Oops... said cross stitch ...

@blackcurrantqueen I love that!! And def call EPU, tell them you've had some bleeding. Off and on. And now you are so anxious. You will always have to tell them the dates anyway. They may bring your scan forwards or at least do bloods again. Just push lovely please push for repeat bloods. It's good about AF for me!

I call them tomorrow on CD1 to get my womb lining scan booked in for 2 weeks & start estrogen on CD2! Next stage!

First there is wine! Before big detox, I whined so much that I'm cramping DH went "oh FFS just get wine & shut up 🤣😂I'm glad DS is a boy 😋" picture of my wine.

Here is an old picture I found on computer.

Here is the "chicken sandwich" I got served on the chemo ward in 2011. Get better soon. Thanks. Seriously NHS???

@bez91 welcome!!! Hello lurker!! We love an unlurk! Let's hope this time when he's one more than breathe on you it's done good 🤞🏻🙌🏻sorry I got distracted by my wine 😍🤷‍♀️

Ls @bez91 that's a really tough recent journey there I'm sorry that was a light hello, big hugs to you lovely ❤️🌈lots of MCs here you are in good company xxx

@lucyrp just looked, it's gorg!! Hahaha I've also heard that!! I'll deffo be one of those that goes over board then realises what a waste of money it all was😂

@Minster2012 yasss Thankyou!! I can't wait until we can have those type of convos!!

@bez91 welcome lovely!! Sounds like you've been through a lot, sending you hugs!! And I hope you conceive your rainbow baby soon❤️

@bez91

Hello!
Sounds a similar story to mine, DD1 came when I smoked and drank and behaved badly, now TTC #2 and have had a chemical, a MC and now having my third 😔
Welcome to the bus!! 😘
And do it again tonight for good measure 😂 here's to hoping your on the bus for a short ride! Xx

@Minster2012 DH definitely has his moments 🥰 glad AF turned up! (Which feels really weird to say!) Also that sad bit of bread and meat lumps are just...sad 😂 but then again I've heard that before about hospital food being dire.

@blackcurrantqueen aww big hugs lovely, sounds like you definitely need to get in touch with the EPU and get them to help you work out what's going on ♥️ Your cross stitch looks awesome!

Hi @bez91 welcome to the bus! 😄

Thanks for the welcome all.
@Minster2012 wow that chicken sandwich is grim. Enjoy your wine 🍷
@blackcurrantqueen so sorry to hear of your journey and current MC 😞 will EPU look to investigate further now?
No chance of anymore today. We did this morning just before he's started his week on call so it's convenient my body has sync'd with his work commitments 🙄He's been out the house since 6am and I've just had a text me to tell me he has a sore 🍆 so I think I'm being warned off 😂

@InkyPaper I've caved and bought the seven seas vits to try too! I've tried most others. Only started them around O time though, so maybe I'll have to wait until next month to see them work? 🤔🤣
@blackcurrantqueen 🤣 at the cross stitch. Brilliant! Sorry about the other stuff x
@DJmum83 I can never see those things. But fingers crossed for you!
@Minster2012 excellent news! (Kind of). At least things can happen now.
@Juno231 very bizarre. My family are bonkers but at least poor. Having said that- my brother went and spent £238 on personalised trainers for some girl at Christmas. And hilariously had to get money from my mum to pay for him to even get to visit her. 🤔🤣

Welcome to all the newbies on the thread.
Goodluck for your journey, you won't get a better bus than this. The most supportive bunch of ladies ever.

1 more day of work then off for 4 days my little mans 4th birthday on Sunday. How did that happen.

@blackcurrantqueen big hugs hope your ok. Def call EPU and see what they say.

@Florence13 hope your holding up ok.

Sorry I don't catch up with everyone but I am reading through them all and always here if anybody needs me xxx

Just going to bed now, late today as I’ve been trying to finish new work gloves for me, nearly there, about 10 min tomorrow morning, I have no patience and no shame, I want new gloves.
@blackcurrantqueen call the epu, big hugs, here for you whatever happens
@Florence13 I hope you’re ok too
Cd 24 here. A bit of sore boobs, nausea and a bit of cramps, so I think af is on the way, had all of these before, dh said today that it is funny that I didn’t have sickness in pregnancy and now I have it with periods, yes darling, hilarious, everybody is a comedian

@bez91 welcome. I'm always fascinated when a lurker posts. Makes me wonder how many others are out there 😂 wow 10 threads in! Sure you know us well! Sorry you are having a tough time, hope it turns around for you soon 🥰

@Minster2012 yay CD1! It begins. Getting excited for you. Sending so much positivity your way and fluffy lining vibes 🥰 speaking of...could you post a piv of uour pom juice? I've been drinking one on and off for months and then found out it's a juice drink so probably pointless 🤦‍♀️

@@blackcurrantqueen so sorry the test was negative. Is your scan the 18th? Probably best to ring and try to get in sooner if you can.

He has a sore 🍆ha ha @bez91 well least you got the goods!! 🤣
@paintfairy I know it's weird but good!!

Also, my friend & I from old MN days were just talking over WhatsApp & I said I had raided DSs choc stash from Xmas (he's still left. I know!!) look at the size of freddos now a days!) I had to pour an XL wine 2 to show Perspective!)
It's caramel too

When did freddos do caramel??? I just had to go find a fudge just to check the perspective. I sniffed it and it was gone. What??????

@Katao your heady fluffy womb lining mix awaits....oh the chic is just for your enjoyment. Sorry what??? On the trainers what??? Did they say marry me???

@Franklydear I await new pics of your gloves 👀they better be sparkly bitch and you have cramps, nausea hmmmm tell boss not I love him 😘

@DJmum83 are you gonna leave it a couple of days??

@Skip86 MAFS are you with me???

Evening everyone and welcome @bez91 😊 AF arrived today, was that eager she came 2 days early! I’ve come to realise that I have 26 day cycles and not 28. So CD1 for me. I’ve taken my cramping ass to bed and started watching Schitts Creek, it’s pretty good and an easy watch.
I had my wine last night @Minster2012 and woke up with a fuzzy head this morning so sticking to the tea tonight.
OH asked me tonight when we can start banging every night. 🤦🏻‍♀️ That’s all he cares about while I’m secretly worried my eggs have shrivelled up. 🤣 Plus quite honestly I don’t think my foof could cope with that much action, I’m a few times a week kind of girl. Plus I like to keep one in the bag incase I need to bribe OH to do the school run or the ironing 🙈 please tell me I’m not the only one that does this?! 🤣

Choc choc I meant choc @Katao
