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

Sorry @lucyrp that was meant to say scan 🙈.

@Juno231 how are you doing?
How many DPO are you?
My temp shot up today, I'm that busy with work it's taking my mind off it. Xx

Minster2012 · 09/01/2021 23:06

@Juno231 I'm with @notyetamumbuttrying we are def binge drinkers here in that we only drink at the weekend and can def drink a bottle between us plus beer /g&t but that's a fair bit especially as you are doing dry jan (might be worth a nudge that if you are doing infertility investigations has he done SA? And they will ask him too about his intake) but you are doing brilliant well done 🙌🏻

@Dollybird89 phew, and yes have a look at joe wicks but the PE ones are a bit easier (a bit, only a bit, not gonna lie) than the HIIT ones (I do the HIIT and they are intense 😂🤣) but try them (though you can always change things to suit your level) so don't give up like if he's doing high knees and ALL of our tits are bouncing off our chins giving us bruises then do high knee steps and work up from there. 😂trust me, I'm smaller and yet DD boobs hurt like hell too. Anything is better than nothing 😘

Well tonight's my last night for 🍆 before he starts back having early night's for work (except Fri sat) and dtd at weekends unless I insist we must do it for ttc. I've pulled all the stops out tonight... best bra babydoll stockings showered and perfumed ... no fucking dog is stopping me tonight! 😈😈😈🍆🤣

notyetamumbuttrying · 09/01/2021 23:10

@Minster2012 we're totally the same re our usual drinking pattern but obvs not at the mo. I also thought the same about fertility investigations @Juno231 they'll defo quiz him on his units per week and they'll say that's far too much. Will he cut down? You're doing so well not drinking whilst around it too tho, well done! X

Minster2012 · 09/01/2021 23:18

Oh yeah @notyetamumbuttrying @Juno231
but you don't ACTUALLY say the truth, the truth & nothing but the truth! Or maybe that's just us. 😂🤣 on the basis that our clinic says when we did our first embryo making (which is now DS & the embryo we are using this time) the sperm the guys have in their system is influenced by drinking 3 months previous & that was exactly when DH was on a stag do for his wildest brother (which he is LITERALLY this second talking about their stupidity with his mates on their call) then I thought "we are fucked". Even DH went white as a sheet. So fortunately it can still be ok!!

@Dollybird89 go go go!! Did you notice my reference to you in the title???

DOB78 · 09/01/2021 23:20

@Franklydear same im 43 next month and really don't want to be 45 giving birth, not there's anything wrong with that but id rather not. I already have it in my head the teachers gonna be saying "ya nans here.to pick you up" in primary school, poor kid.
According to.clearblue I can test on 18th but no way far too early.
Are you waiting to test too?

notyetamumbuttrying · 09/01/2021 23:25

@Minster2012 glad his swimmers still did the job!! And yeah do lie a bit 😂@Juno231 pretty sure we did, but also see what he says about cutting bk. Dh's urologist told him not to drink at all until he produces a sample for ivf!

Dollybird89 · 09/01/2021 23:28

Didn't realise the reference was to me haha! @minster2012

Vil10 · 09/01/2021 23:29

@Justanothercyster well every days a school day it appears!!

@Dollybird89 yesss girl!! Get on that sausage🍆

Minster2012 · 09/01/2021 23:31

I wanted to put "easy access boob holes" but it was too long @Dollybird89 and you know I Sail close to the warming's from MNHQ 😂🤣

Yes @notyetamumbuttrying thankfully!! I think he got very worried he would be told it was "his fault" not mine

Right I'm off to get 🍆too

@Minster2012 I meant a suggestion for a thread title when I said it's not Dry Fanuary 🤣 mine is definitely dry.... Still no sex since bfp and 19 weeks on Monday... No.moister than an oyster here it's drier than Gandhi's flipflop 🤣

@Vil10 watch out for my left outer flap 🤣🤣

Juno231 · 09/01/2021 23:47

@Minster2012 @notyetamumbuttrying he started drinking more during lockdown #2 I think and then it ramped up for Christmas and he hasn't quite let that go yet. I'm surprised he didn't drink Mon-wed as well this week the way he's been going! Unfortunately I think because his SA came back really good he must think he's invincible now and that clearly this stuff doesn't matter 🙄.

AHobbyaweek · 10/01/2021 00:18

Sorry very late and missed the end of the last bus. Have a few busy days of homeschooling a 5 year old, dealing with the going back to work blues and my aunt started chemo so helping her out.

I did see your comment @Minster2012 about bumflap dog onesie. It is doable but would need dog measurements! 😝
Currently knitting a monster of a shawl int he few spare moments I get to keep me sane.
Currently 4+4 weeks according to many tons a few sticks and not much else. Have booked a private scan for 28th Jan to see.
Very anxious now but have stopped temping as it was freaking me out.
Now have to catch up.

Skip86 · 10/01/2021 00:39

@Minster2012 😂🤣😂 have you ever heard of the waffle stomp?? It's when you have code brown but to get rid of it you get child to stomp it down the plug hole 😆😂
I must've missed the knee thing?! Aargh hope you're ok!! I have a bung shoulder atm and just think I'm getting old 😩 Omg your dogs 😍

@DOB78 I am usually an early tester but not doing it this time, no way Jose - and it's such a relief! Not even tempted.
So I fully encourage holding off and will hold your hand. You got this!

@clolo phew great news! 🎉

@Vil10 'I'm going to be so chilled about ttc this cycle' adds multipack frers to basket
😜 love it
Ahahaha your left outer flap! 😂 killing me

@blackcurrantqueen how are you feeling today lovely? X

@lucyrp so glad your scan went well 🥰 so exciting

@Dollybird89 ditto Minster on the health front - start small and remember that anything is better than nothing. A little walk or simple home exercise for even 15 minutes will burn more than being stationary, and it will do wonders for you mind too.
I'm not in your lockdown situation, but do not belong to a gym anyway as I find doing my own moderate exercise is easier (and cheaper!).
Ah just saw your more recent message! Sounds like you're doing a great job getting busy and active! Well done 😃

@Juno231 Wow that is a fair whack of booze! But then I can't really talk, our two weeks over Xmas/NY were pretty messy, though we will calm it down now OH's bday is finished. He is also nursing a v sore head today but I'm fresh as a daisy 🌸 one up side to sobriety!

@BlondePotter no sex for 19 weeks?! 😱 genuinely interested as to why? Is it medical or are you worried? X

Still no cramps for me 🤷🏼‍♀️ will just roll into the next few days chilled as a 🥒 ........ not.

DOB78 · 10/01/2021 01:04

Ah @skip86 thankyou

Skip86 · 10/01/2021 04:52

Ha well after all that my period seems to be starting today. It's all so strange, I think my cycle is now only 25 days after being 28 days exactly for 20 years!! Meh, what a fuck boy.

Skip86 · 10/01/2021 05:23

Has also strengthened my resolve to never symptom spot again! Hmmf.

blackcurrantqueen · 10/01/2021 08:14

@Skip86 stupid bloody periods !! Sorry to hear yours has caught you!

I am ok, of course I POAS this morning, line still there but again I think lighter, though maybe a bit darker than yesterday. I'm going to try not to test tomorrow. I have had very little sleep between my brain, hormones and my little girl getting me up 🥴
Keep debating ringing EPU and asking for repeat HCG again but I know they'll laugh if I say it's because the lines on the test are lighter - exactly what happened with my last MC
I guess only time will tell!

lucyrp · 10/01/2021 08:20

@Dollybird89 yeah as @Minster2012 I was 30 days regular always have been and they returned slowly after coming off contraception until I had a CP/MMC in may and since then it threw my cycles right off, I had a 72 day one straight after then a 47, 59 and the cycle I got pregnant on I started taking the seven seas ttc and my cycle was I think only 39 days! I had been to the doctor in august to try and start looking into why my cycles were all over the place and I had to make a complaint as they did the blood test wrong 3 times in a row and then by the end of September my referral was put through and got an appointment for 7th January but I ended up going for my first midwife booking appointment on the 4th so don't lose hope 🥰

Minster2012 · 10/01/2021 08:32

@Skip86 oh no is it bad to not tell DH? Would he know? & yeah fell up the stairs right onto the edges of my knee caps. Think I've crippled myself 🤣, that & sex last night have finished me off 🤔there will be NO WAFFLE STOMPING here lady eurgh

@blackcurrantqueen oh no, you could always try the EPU? Otherwise you are just gonna torture yourself??

@AHobbyaweek sending hugs to your aunt, you are doing great lovely, 💓

@Juno231 argh men. Just argh.

@BlondePotter my head wasn't in the right frame clearly when I did the title cos I didn't read it as dry fanuary at all 😂🤣 & if @Vil10 had put leave my left outer flap I'd have used that too!! 19 weeks OMG I couldn't do it at all! Have you spoken about it??

Am walking like a very damaged john Wayne not from sex. My knees better show some good bruises or this pain ain't worth it grrrrrrr

OP posts:
Skip86 · 10/01/2021 08:48

@Minster2012 sorry love not sure what you mean about not telling DH? I tell him all about my cycle so we can plan the days we need to use contraception, is that what you're asking about? When I thought there was a chance I could be preg tbh I did consider not telling him about it until after 12 weeks! Don't need to worry about that now though 😭

@BlondePotter we tend to have sex as a once a week occurrence at the moment and that's hardly anything for us 😭😂😂 it just doesn't even come into my head now like " ooo I'm horny" nope I just want to cuddle and sleep 🤣
