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 looks a very balanced breakfast! 🤣

@juno231 so sorry to hear about your family, you're going through so much at the moment! Sending lots of love

@franklydear sorry AF showed up, like the idea of DH treating you to a nice dinner though!

I am trying so bloody hard to be calm and zen... RHR dropped from 47 to 43 today, DH says well you're probs more used to the extra bloody flowing through your body now as you're very fit, so trying to stay chilled. Telling parents on sunday!!!

@Kirky658 STAY ZEN. You are zen. You are pregnant. Stay f ing zen. I'm with DH! You are clearly fit so that's why.

@notyetamumbuttrying yeah they tell you to take with food to help with the nausea, it's usually ok but with AF it's not great. It's ok this morning so don't worry, my body's reaction to most things is sickness so that doesn't help 😬 I'm splitting the doses differently I've decided to do 3 tablets, 3 tablets 4 tablets so it's in line with my meals not 5 lots of 2. So that should help 🤞🏻

@minster2012 thanks, love ya ❤️😘
I don't feel fit since I've found out running is sooooo hard DH is gonna come with me tonight after work I think he will be in for a shock at how rubbish I've got 🤣 this growing a little human thing is hard work.

AF just arrived pretty gutted but just have to pick myself up.
Thanks for all the support xx

@Minster2012 your clearly someone everyone feels able to open up to including the builder guy 😂

@Clairey844 aww how exciting!! Would love to see scan pics if your happy to share.

@Kirky658 it’s not worth stressing hun you have symptoms and are pregnant worrying about your RHR is not going to change it

@DJmum83 oh I’m so sorry about af make sure you look after yourself and treat yourself to all the chocolate

@DJmum83

AF just arrived pretty gutted but just have to pick myself up. Thanks for all the support xx

Chocolate and wine! Xxxx

@Kirky658 you just be an athlete having such a low RHR normally I never go below 64 😂 as others have said here though, try not to worry about RHR as is doesn't always go up in pregnancy and at least not always in the early weeks. Everyone is different. How good must our parents/grandparents have had it when there was no easy access pregnancy tests, OPKs, BB thermometers and heart rate tracking watches! All those stress factors gone haha

@DJmum83 @Franklydear Sorry AF got you both. Join me in having some AF treats... it's a full caffeine latte and cake this afternoon and some wine tonight for me

@florence13 thank you ❤️
@2020mission haha its funny i would never call myself an athlete but it is strangely low in normal non pregnancy times! I have turned off the heart rate widget on the watch so I aren't looking at it constantly but want to keep the watch to track exercise etc. Oh god I know life must have been so much simpler back then!!! Thanks for the support ❤️

So sorry @DJmum83
Good luck with the scan @Clairey844 hope you are doing well x
Sorry about af @Franklydear
@notyetamumbuttrying you seem to be really suffering. What do you take? Could a pharmacist recommend something better maybe? I have to take codeine cd1 and sometimes cd2 after that I'm ok. Paracetamol just doesn't touch it.

@Kirky658 Good plan, that should help you relax a little. I was reading a news article yesterday about a woman who went into A&E with stomach cramps and 4 hours later had a baby and she didn't know she was pregnant 🤯 I've read a few similar stories over the years... so if some people can genuinely get through a full 9 month pregnancy without any symptoms then we definitely shouldn't be too worried when our bodies aren't showing us some of them early on haha

@Katao I'm the same and I almost always take codeine CD 1-2. I've had less intense cramps this AF for some reason though so I've reached CD 3 with only hot water bottles and a couple of paracetamol. I'm trying to avoid codeine for a couple of cycles if possible as I read it can negatively impact fertility 😅 probably nonsense but when you get to 13 months of trying with no success, you start believing these types of things might be the problem!

@minster2012 just called.... 14/15 week waiting list for an appointment! So nothing I can do. 😭

Sorry to hear about the witch's arrival @DJmum83 and @blackcurrantqueen 😔 Hope both of you indulge in some self care today x

@Minster2012 ah I see. Hope it helps!
@DJmum83 sorry darlin x
@Katao well I only had paracetamol in so just that until Dh got me ibuprofen in the evening. Took both together and then started to feel normal. That's what I usually do tbh as one alone does nothing. I'll pop into my pharmacist then and see if they'll sell me codeine. I remember taking that after a car accident and it sorted my pain right out!

@2020mission my second cousin had that! She was 19 and had horrible stomach cramps - went to the loo for poo and her waters broke lol! She'd only gained 5kg and had still had a period like bleed regularly enough not to notice it's absence. Her girl is now 25 and had a baby by accident 2-3 years ago as she'd been told she was infertile and had never used protection with her long term bfs....

@DJmum83 I'm so sorry! We'll catch next cycle - and will get to find out around valentines

@notyetamumbuttrying try asking for co-codamol at the pharmacy it's a mixture of paracetamol and codeine in one tablet and has always worked for me whenever I have intense cramps.

@Juno231 😂 madness I really thought people were joking just to sell stories when I read those but if you know someone then it must be real for some. I think it's just hard to picture as any women I've seen pregnant at the end of the pregnancy always look massive! I guess if you already carry a bit of weight and the position makes the baby stick out less than you could assume it's just extra weight.

Gosh apologies for all my spelling and grammatical errors! I get too excited writing on here...

@notyetamumbuttrying I used to take a codeine and paracetamol combo for my endometriosis it was called panadol you can get it over the counter it's very good x

@Minster2012 I've just spent an hour trying to update my MacBook 😴😴

@Juno231 my cousin also did this but she was only 17 but she is quite tall so think that made it less noticeable to. But you couldn’t even tell she had a baby even straight after. She also had regular period type bleeds which made her not even consider that she might be pregnant.

@Kirky658 STOP worrying about your rhr 😅🤣

@2020mission thanks, yes have heard of co codamol.
@Kirky658 thanks, know of Panadol as well. Will get them in for next time!
@Florence13 crazy that this does actually happen. When did your cousin realise?
