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 yeah my mum was fuming I split with my ex as DS was less than 1 and for a similar reason I think as she found out my dad was cheating on her and kept it to herself for a year letting him stay in the same bed as her etc and doing his washing because she wanted me to get my GCSEs first and then I found out the year after. I think she thinks because she did it I should have done it too. Although I am thankful for her keeping it from me I'm sad she did it on her own. Mine never says sorry either 🤣

Ltay2 · 16/01/2021 22:08

@Vil10 Thank you!! Seems fairly straight forward, will defo be making sometime!

Minster2012 · 16/01/2021 22:09

Sorry @blackcurrantqueen that we meant to be more of an explanation hun, I still think you are pregnant & that LH test is picking up HCG & the others are wrong, I've got everything crossed monday is gonna show that 🥰❤️🤞🏻

@Vil10 I had been getting spotting 2/3 days before afbut the last couple of cycles she has just arrived without much notice! Usually have mild cramps in the days before too and worse cramps just before af starts but again the last couple of cycles no bad cramps beforehand. I feel like as soon as I get used to my pms symptoms they change 😂

blackcurrantqueen · 16/01/2021 22:28

Thanks gang
It is definitely something weird going on so all shall become clearer Monday hopefully!

HollieL567 · 16/01/2021 22:36

@blackcurrantqueen I have to say this sounds fairly similar to what happened with my ectopic pregnancy so please take it easy sweetie. I had a small amount of reddish brownish blood which was first indication something was wrong.. I always had slight crampy feeling the whole pregnancy/pulling feeling but everyone I spoke with said it's normal my body was just getting used to being pregnant. I then obviously got the brownish red blood not a massive amount but still a fair bit, when I went to EPU the following days were also confusing. My HCG was rising but not as it should have been so with ectopics they slowly rise so they don't quite double ever 48hrs like normal pregnancy and they also rise and fall so one day is could rise then fall then slowly rise again. I got scanned after several hcgs and it's was an ectopic pregnancy of unknown location. I was treated with methotrexate but you really must take it easy until you can rule out pregnancy of unknown location and no DTD until you know for sure. Everything crossed it's not that 🤞🏻🤞🏻 It just sounded fairly similar especially with you mentioning pregnancy of unknown location also.

Vil10 · 16/01/2021 22:54

@Ltay2 it was definitely easy to make! And the marinade had similar ingredients to the tzatziki too!x

@Katao it's all such a mind fuck isn't it!! I'll keep everything crossed this is your month🤞🏼

Juno231 · 16/01/2021 22:59

@2020mission @DJmum83 I've been using those for a year and don't think I've had any problems with them! Currently on my first cycle of seven seas to try out the miracle pill 😅

Minster2012 · 16/01/2021 23:07

@Juno231 any sign of the witch for you? Due tomorrow right? You tested yesterday was it?

Genuinely can't believe we might beat the record of 9 days for a bus, 🤪😳

OP posts:
Katao · 16/01/2021 23:11

Thanks @Vil10 you too!

@Juno231 hope the miracle pill works!

@blackcurrantqueen hopeful for you but as @HollieL567 said above, best take it easy in the meantime, take care of yourself.

Gem176 · 16/01/2021 23:29

@Sausage1990 I somehow missed your earlier reply 🤦🏻‍♀️ thank you so much for letting me pick your brain on this! I don't have an app with my dietician until the 29th and that's a scheduled app, I'm assuming anything to do with the combined obs/diabetes clinic won't be until feb at the earliest! Work wise it must be one of the best clinics as everyone attending actually genuinely wants the perfect bg and will follow any advice to the letter 😂
Hopefully just a cold and lots of baby dancing on fw 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Vil10 I'd give anything to be on my favourite beach in Zakynthos with an ice cold mythos and ALL the fab food 🤤
Really hope it's a good sign for you even if you aren't getting your hopes up, I've decided I can get my hopes up for you all even when you are being all chill about it. All good so far 😊 xx

@lucyrp are our mums related?! I'm beginning to think they might be the same person 🙈

@blackcurrantqueen whatever is going on you will get an answer one way or the other on Monday, I really hope it's a positive outcome 💖

DKDK123 · 17/01/2021 08:38

I know some of you are going thru frustrations with emotionally closed off partners at the moment so I thought it might help to give you a little insight from the other side as we'd switched roles last night and my partner was the one needing the support and reassurance and I was the closed off one! He kept wanting hugs and contact and while I tried to offer him some reassurance in my head I was actually feeling angry with him and it had nothing to do with him it was that I just didn't have it in me to deal with his grief on top of my own so the only way I could deal with it was to shut down. I could tell he was getting upset that I was trying to just get on with things as normal but I didn't have it in me last night to deal with anything else at the time. Although I couldn't stop my actions at the time I at least have good insight into the why I was doing things so I can sit down and talk to him today about it but I don't think a lot of guys have that insight part they're just reacting instinctually shutting emotions down or not supporting you when in reality it's just that they're hurting deep down too.
Just thought that wee insight from the other side might help a few folk just now who feel like their partners don't care.

paintfairy · 17/01/2021 08:44

@2020mission @DJmum83 My DH takes the wellman conception ones. I've just swapped to try the seven seas but I took the pregnacare ones for months and had no issues with my cycle changing.
@Dollybird89 oh no! Your tights didn't last long then. 🙈🤣
@Gem176 yes that would be my mum! Well I only told so and so and so and so. By which point (after the 12 weeks) it means literally everyone already knows, because of course at some point those people mentioned it to someone else. 🙄 I might try telling her a bit early but not at like 2 weeks or anything!
@Skip86 I'm so jealous you can go out. I can't believe our country didn't think too get a handle on it like that straight away. Had they closed the borders after the first lockdown, we wouldn't be in this mess. Now they've lost the will of the people.

Minster2012 · 17/01/2021 08:50

@DKDK123 yeah that's a very good point, how are you both feeling this morning?

Florence13 · 17/01/2021 08:52

Sorry I am way behind from yesterday so just wanted to apologise if I miss anything.

@Vil10 keeping everything crossed for the house but also loving the gyros you made and I’m also going to steal the link to give it a go myself.

@blackcurrantqueen I’m really sorry that your body is not giving you much clue what is going on but at least you only have one more day until you hopefully get some answers.

@Dollybird89 so sorry about your new tights it’s just typical isn’t it. Although I’m also quite a clumsy person so I would definitely have fallen in the only mud around.

@Minster2012 your transfer date is potentially my birthday in that case it is definitely going to be the luckiest abs stickiest little bean ever I just know it!

Kirky658 · 17/01/2021 09:00

@gem176 hahahaha glad it isn't just me!!! I napped for 3 hours in the day yesterday, slept from 9pm to 1am, pee time, then again at 4am, then again at 7am and thought sod it ill get up now!!!

@vil10 you have now made me sooooo nostalgic for our honeymoon in Santorini, what I wouldn't give for a gyro and a Mythos now 😋

Here's a doggo pic of our little man in his new big boy bed we got for him yday.

Morning ladies, I am having breakfast with ds because dh is still sleeping, yesterday he went for a nap about 3, so he woke up after 6, and then he couldn’t sleep at 11....
Af is finished, fast and furious, I don’t remember who said it a couple of pages ago, but yep, pms different every month, no point spotting
@Juno231 how are you love? Big hugs, are you going to Sweden?
@lucyrp my mum hated dh, the progressively started warming to him, and now adores him, only took her two decades, she does show favouritism with my brother's kids, but is careful cos I am not afraid to go no contact
@Minster2012 this bus is long, isn’t it?

TTCAbroad · 17/01/2021 09:10

@Juno231 @Minster2012 @paintfairy Thanks for the feedback re: temping. I’m crossing my fingers that I get pregnant this month and don’t need to worry about it!

@Gem176 Ahha, ok I’m glad there is someone else who gets the tender floof!

I’ve got some pinching feelings on my right side so hopefully that is a sign I’m ovulating. Going to see how much sex we can fit into the next few days.

DJmum83 · 17/01/2021 09:14

Morning everyone
So still majorly heavy bleeding not sure if I go to doctors or not as it is the heaviest ever and lots of clots.
What do you all think?

My wee boy had a lovely birthday his wee face was so cute.

I'm back in bed as feeling just so knackered.

I ordered the wellman conception for hubby and seven seas for myself so we will see.

Have a great day everyone xx

Wee pic of the birthday boys goodies xx

Oooo that's exciting @Florence13 on potential transfer date & your birthday! Any more sex sessions for you? You seem to be on fire atm! 🍆

How cute & comfy (& a tiny big smug) does your doggo look @Kirky658?! Oh my god how much I'd love to be in somewhere like santorini right now 🤪❤️🥰that must have been amazing!

@Franklydear we are synced I'm finished too! And just about ready to face the day, I think 🤦🏼‍♀️😬, the bus is long? You mean ppl or days, the other one started on the 9th so def not time wise & I think a few ppl have dropped off, they can find us again if they want but it's a lot to tag ppl to not get involved 🤔🙄

DH just annoyed me. Whinging about an Amazon delivery thats arrived "look mummy has bought something else"...cos for him entertaining DS is on iPad. This is our learning tool for this week...Good start to the day.

@DJmum83 happy BIRTHDAY DS!! and sorry you are bleeding heavily.....yes go to the doctors, they can only tell you to piss off and they might be able to help so why not eh. Sending big hugs xxx🤗😘and birthday balloons 🥳

OP posts:
Kirky658 · 17/01/2021 09:27

@DJmum83 ahhh happy birthday to your little man! Hope he has a great day. I personally would go to the docs just to get checked out - I was always told with my endo if I had unusually heavy bleeding to get in touch with them.

@minster2012 oh I know bless him he is such a bloody poser 🤣 it was the absolute best holiday we had been on hands down (not just because of the sex, hahaha!!!). We had so much fun. Only downside really was because of my endo surgery being cancelled earlier that year I was in agony for a few days of the trip and we just had to stay and sunbathe (what a shame!) ps your pizza looked amazing last night.

Vil10 · 17/01/2021 09:28

@Gem176 ohhh that sounds the dream!! We deserve a holiday!! Yess you can't stay positive for us all😂xx

@Florence13 definitely give it a go! It was easy and so good!x

@Kirky658 how gorgeous is Santorini, i went with my family but I'd love to go back with OH! Aww look at your doggo!! So cute!!

@DJmum83 If it was me I'd probably ring, all they can do is help, so you might get some answers🤞🏼 So glad your boy had a lovely day! Looks like he's been spoilt x

@Minster2012 the children at work love little learning resources like that, I find they're so helpful!!

Franklydear · 17/01/2021 09:44

@Gem176 you’ll have to stay positive for me, cos I am losing all hope
@Kirky658 he is so cute, please everybody cheer me up with your dogs pics
@Minster2012 yei! For being synced, this bus feels long in time, people come and go, well, some are always here and I love you all for that

DKDK123 · 17/01/2021 09:45

We're hanging on in there @minster2012. We'll wait till DS is in bed tonight to sit down have a proper chat about what direction we want to go in next. Think your DS will love playing with the jumbo droppers far better than sitting on the ipad all day!

Aww cute dog in his big boy bed @kirby658 😊

Hope your little one had a fab birthday @djmum83. As others have said best give the doc a call even if its just for peace of mind. Rest up and take it easy.

Still no bleeding here yet but both my temp and HR dropped this morn so fully expecting it to show in the next day or 2 not even going to waste a test as it'll either be completely blank by now or a proper squinter, there's no point in even clutching onto any hope that it progressed given the big temp drop. Off to meet DHs sister for a socially distanced walk this morn. Only she's desperate to start having kids and is just holding off till her wedding in May before she starts trying but having babies is all she talks about (she doesn't know we've been trying), this is going to be fun today 🙄 But at the same time I don't want to tell her and burst her bubble as she should be allowed to have those innocent dreams get married have babies ASAP without knowing the million and one things that can go wrong. After she's been trying 3 or 4 months I might tell her our story but until then I want her to have that blissful ignorance and happiness about having babies and hopefully she'll be one of the lucky ones to catch quickly.
