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

@Gem176 omg yay!🥰🥰🥰

Franklydear · 14/01/2021 21:32

@Gem176 congrats 🍾🎉

Juno231 · 14/01/2021 21:35

@Gem176 congratulations!! What dpo were you for a strong line like that? What cycle was this for you?

@Minster2012 yes AF due Sunday!

Well ladies I haven't kept you totally up to date but essentially my granny has been really ill since Saturday (to the point where she was no longer compos mentis) and I was fighting with my mum daily to have granny hospitalised since Sunday. Well lo and behold, she finally got sent to hospital yesterday and she not only has corona but a bad bacterial infection too.

Grandad then was found on the living room floor yesterday after falling over, and fell over in the shower today where mum just couldn't get him back up so he's now in hospital as well. Most likely corona too, especially as he had a fever starting today. Did I mention he has COPD?

Now mum has been super ill since Monday and when I spoke to her today she could barely breathe and you could hear her throat make a whistling noise whenever she took a breath. She's also lost all sense of taste and smell so I think we can all guess what she's got!

Gah just had to vent, it's been a rough week.

paintfairy · 14/01/2021 21:45

@Juno231 Jesus. That's a lot going on. Very stressful. I hope they are ok.

@Minster2012 aha. That makes sense. I thought you needed a screwdriver. Was unsure how cardboard worked 🤣

@Gem176 congratulations!

Nats7504 · 14/01/2021 21:53

@Juno231 oh lovely, that sounds awful ☹️ I hope they make a quick recovery, they’re in the best place for monitoring. Are they on the same ward together? Has your mum been tested yet? My MIL was confirmed on Monday (she caught it from work!) but my FIL tested negative even though they slept in the same bed while she was contagious before she got her results. X

Gem176 · 14/01/2021 21:53

@DKDK123 @lucyrp @Franklydear thank you ladies 😘
@Juno231 13 dpo according to premom and 15 dpo according to flow. Gave up a bit this last cycle so all I have to go on is their predictions based on period dates. 9th cycle since stopping contraception, 7th cycle of putting in effort and tracking etc

Gem176 · 14/01/2021 21:56

Hit send before I was ready 🤬

@Juno231 I hope your granny, grandad and mum are on the road to recovery and that it isn't a long road for them. Keep yourself safe too! What an utterly shitey time for you 🤗

Minster2012 · 14/01/2021 22:03

@Juno231 oh god that's a lot to deal with, are you able to take some time off to help or do you not need it (as in you not needed?) Sending loads of big hugs to you girl because you need that 😘

@Gem176 wow!!! Congrats that's fab!! 🥳🥳🥳😍🤗

@Franklydear i mean we'll see how you feel (as in after the tuna nausea today) x

@DKDK123 I think drinking the Pom juice tonight contributed to feeling so sick this evening. I consider it part of my medication 🤣and yeah they said 2 weeks later for the scan & I guess it's 13 days so COME ON WOMB

Really feel I should have done dry jan now
Feeling really shit

Katao · 14/01/2021 22:06

Im so sorry @Juno231 thats really stressful. Hope everyone gets well and home soon.

@Gem176 congratulations 🥳 although you being another stopped trying and it happened does not help us obsessives 🤦‍♀️😂

Gem176 · 14/01/2021 22:11

@paintfairy @Minster2012 thank you both

@Katao thank you and if it makes it any easier I'm not attributing this to taking a step back.... ov was coming up to new year so we were in lockdown, dd was at her dads and there was nothing else to do but jump on 🍆 repeatedly 😂 oh that and the disgusting amount of galaxy covered Brazil nuts I ate at Christmas. I make them every year and sicken myself every year 🙈

Catherinettc · 14/01/2021 22:14

Awk @Juno231 ur not getting it easy 😪 hopefully all gets better soon. U must be so stressed

@Franklydear u can't keep us waiting that long surely? 😲😲🤣

@Gem176 congrats!! We're u on earlier buses? I recognise ur user name

@Dollybird89 hope ur ok? Wish there was something we could do to help u feel better xx

@blackcurrantqueen @Florence13 how u ladies holding up? Been thinking away about u both ❤

Pa I'm getting better at remembering things to reply lol I usually can't remember who wrote what so I'm quite pleased with myself lol if I've missed u out I will get to u at some point. Could never be the driver 🤦‍♀️🤣

DJmum83 · 14/01/2021 22:16

@Juno231 I'm so sorry to hear this about your family.
Really hope they are all on the mend soon.
Sending big hugs.

Xxx

Gem176 · 14/01/2021 22:19

@Catherinettc thank you 😊. yep, disappeared for almost two months. Had a bad chest infection followed by af arriving and just wanted to hide from ttc chat for a bit so it wasn't in my every thought.

DJmum83 · 14/01/2021 22:20

Think it's another chemical this month for me.
Done a clearblue early this morning blue came up after a minute, then frer this afternoon total squinter of a line.
Digital says not pregnant, AF due tomorrow or Saturday and severe headache and cramps tonight.

So I think it will be on to next cycle xxx

@DJmum83 awwww hun I'm sorry, there's def something there on those 😢

@Gem176 seeeeeeee, Brazil nuts. And choc.

@Catherinettc GET YOU!!! You are on fire! Must be that witch's brew.

@Katao I thought the same. We can obsess, it's ok.

Right me & my cramps are going to sleep.
I'm gonna be less productive tomorrow. Work more but less productive. Cramping to high heaven here & sick /headaches too

Do you think we've been on a bus together so long that it's that girl thing of our periods are syncing in line together (they do that right in houses don't they???)

OP posts:
Katao · 14/01/2021 22:37

@Minster2012 bed and a hot water bottle. Poor love.

@Gem176 sounds like ovulation was perfect timing for you! Wow can't believe it's 2 months since you were taking part in the buses, does not feel that long. Mind you time fb lies when you are busy not getting pregnant 😂

@DJmum83 do you not think maybe that it's that you are testing too often? I couldn't see anything on yesterday's test but can on that frer. That's progression. I think you are comparing too many brands, taken too close together. Breathe, give it time. Cramps can mean either at this stage really. Hoping for you.

DJmum83 · 14/01/2021 22:44

@Katao think you are probably right.
Just have a feeling that it's not this time.
Will see if AF shows in next couple days.
Thanks for your message xxx

@Minster2012 night night xxx

2020mission · 14/01/2021 22:44

@Minster2012 it does sound like a lot of us have just got AF haha we are syncing! Hope your nausea eases soon. I had no idea oestrogen would do that.

Congratulations @Gem176 I noticed you were missing for a while but that break clearly done you a big favour 🙌

@Juno231 so sorry to hear your grandparents and mum are unwell but try and keep positive and hopefully they will all be on the mend soon.

Katao · 14/01/2021 22:51

@DJmum83 it's understandable you are nervous after being through it recently but hopefully tbat isn't the case 🥰

Gem176 · 14/01/2021 23:04

@DJmum83 the second frer pic today I can see a line (my eyesight is atrocious btw) can't comment on the cb as I'm not sure what I'm looking for 🙈 my obsessive googling has always suggested waiting two days between testing to allow hcg to build 🤷🏻‍♀️ @Katao mentions seeing a line today but not yesterday so suggests a slight increase which would be normal for only 1 day between tests? I was sure I was having af cramps up until tonight. Try again in a couple of days 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Minster2012 lesson learned, I should have listened to you long ago! In fairness I was always on the choc 😂 I'll make a heap of them and send a batch to everyone if this is the result they get!!

@Katao definitely does fly, really doesn't feel like 2 months, did pop in a few times after a mega catch up read 😅

Gem176 · 14/01/2021 23:06

@2020mission it was more a break from social media than a break from trying full stop. Think we dtd more often thanks to both being off work over Christmas and new year 😂

DKDK123 · 15/01/2021 01:26

Oh @Juno231 that's a lot for you to deal with in one go, hope your granny, grandad and mum are all OK.

@DJmum83 I can see a line in the FRERs, I know its not as dark as you want but remember it's every 48 hours the HCG doubles and you're not at your missing AF date yet so it's not likely to be a really dark response till after that. Try again after another day or two before you rule yourself out. And remember the digitals require a higher level of HCG to be positive so they probably wouldn't show for another few days anyways. Big hugs, as someone with repeat CPs I know how anxious you'll be feeling. Keeping everything crossed for you.

TTCAbroad · 15/01/2021 05:39

@Franklydear My mind is blown by your patience Shock

@Gem176 Woooo congratulations!

Kirky658 · 15/01/2021 06:54

@gem176 omg yayyyyy congrats ❤️ nice to see someone else waited till they were late as well tehe 😂

DJmum83 · 15/01/2021 07:34

@DKDK123 thanks for your message massive temp drop today so I'm just waiting for AF to show her ugly head.
I am never testing early again.

Hope everyone has a good day, xx

@Juno231 hope you get good news about your family today been thinking about you xxx
