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

5 BFP already for jan...who is next?? 🥰

@BlondePotter 19 weeks?? Wow that must be a record😂

@Skip86 hahaha a slight moment of weakness, the question is will I use them😩 so sorry about af turning up and your cycles are fuck boys for getting shorter!!

@Minster2012 if only the bruises on the knees were due to fruitiness🍆

@Skip86 I meant not tell him about AF coming earlier, so not tell him about getting shorter & potentially try have an accident next month as you are disappointed....now I wrote it down yeah it's a bit 😬ignore me

@clolo it's fab, both the ivf test news and mumming, honestly. But a bed of roses it ain't. Either 😂🤣

@Vil10 I know 😂whereas in actual fact the sex was like "don't touch my knees"

@Minster2012 oh!!! Hahaha!! No I wouldn't do that but god now you mention it...... 😬 eurgh no I don't think I could do it without dying of guilt.

Morningggg ladies! Taking my seat...firmly at the back of the 🚌 😋
I feel like an idiot now!! After like 7 months of ttc I spoke to my GP on Friday, mainly for fear of ovulation, we discussed my mc last June and she asked when AF next visited was... said nov 9th and explained I had 3 days of watery cm ending on 25th oct (thought I kept weeing myself but nope) then 14 days later AF showed up so she said she is pretty confident that I haven't ovulated between May 31st when I would of conceived and Oct 25th! So something like 143 days!! She said regardless of temp shifts without having a period at the end of my luteal phase its likely to have been annovulatory cycles.
So shes referring me to the Gynae team to discuss taking clomid or letrozole to regulate ovulation.

Fuck me I'm an idiot for convincing myself my body was ovulating for this whole time 😔🤦‍♀️
On the other side... going by the 143 days that takes me to 20th march for my 'actual natural ovulation xx

@blackcurrantqueen try and keep relaxed hun, the darkness of the line isn't defining your pregnancy! A line is a line...as the other said..until your proven otherwise you are with child 🥰

@lucyrp im so glad your scan went really well!!! So exciting 😬😁

@BlondePotter We didn't have sex for weeks after BFP either. I'm 27 weeks now and we've only had sex once during pregnancy so that's since July 🙈 I honestly have 0 interest and I'm so uncomfortable and heavy it's the last thing I want to do.

@Skip86 yes good, was just checking. Putting it out loud. In case your inner voice thought that. Mine did.

@Hopeful110 helllllllllllllooooooo and welcome back dude!!! So glad you spoke to the GP and who the flip are we to know what's going on??? Honestly it's a minefield. But yay to referral and progress that's great 🙌🏻

@Franklydear I just saw the MIL thread you put and weirdly I actually read that the day it was put & commented on it, bizarre. I feel less FOMO now!!

@paintfairy also just seen your comment on rescue dog & the stupid woman, what?? He bit your hubby & yet they didn't take that into account? Very worrying that I'd say & you are totally right to be fuming. Do the new home have kids??

I know I asked some ppl last night fir their due dates but DH had my computer so I didn't jot them down...@KateColx @Ltay2 @blodyn91 remind me again please?

@Minster2012 Mine is 10th April ☺️

@Minster2012 thankyou ☺ so I'll be around for a while yet 😋 il keep checking (like I haven't done so everyday anyways) haha! Xx

Thank you @Ltay2! I worked it out for your present before but of course didn't do anything with it at that point...just totally forgot, they are slightly small fitting we found 🥰

@Minster2012 Aww yeah ☺️ nursery furniture is getting built today so I'm excited to sort through all the clothes and get them washed and put away!

Morning,

Just trying to catch up. I definitely don’t think I could go for 19 weeks or more without sex, definitely think it would finish me off.

@Minster2012 how are your knees doing today? Shame your not walking like John Wayne because of all the 🍆

@Hopeful110 aww glad your getting sorted hun and have a referral.

@blackcurrantqueen I would step away from the tests hun as others said a line is a line and I had a really dark line and it didn’t mean all was well. As long as you have a line you are pregnant it’s more important not to get stressed.

@Florence13 thankyou hun, I'm so sorry to hear your update yesterday 💔 sending you lots of virtual hugs and support xx

I remember with my first baby we didn’t have much sex during the first trimester (I was too anxious) then second trimester it picked up, then third trimester it slowed down (husband got anxious) 🤦🏼‍♀️

Morning everyone.

Really wet horrible day here today. Just going for a big food shop ready for online schooling the kids tomorrow 😭

Nothing new to report 8dpo no symptoms temps up that's it.

@Juno231 how are you doing TWW buddy.

@Minster2012 hope the knees heel. Can you remind me of how to get your blog?

@Florence13 hope your doing ok.

@blackcurrantqueen try not to stress easier said than done. Xxx

Enjoy your day girls xx

@Hopeful110 thank you.

@DJmum83 just taking each day as it comes at the moment. Aww keeping fingers crossed for you and that your temp stays up.

Morning ladies!!

So CD39 for me and still no sign of AF, had some little niggly cramps on and off yesterday, but nothing like the usual AF cramps. She's due tomorrow according to Ovia, but Glow says I'm now 6 days late 🙃 may test on Tuesday if she doesn't show her face!

Hope you're all doing okay! 💖

@Leah2501 I think it seems pretty consistent with the ladies! How are you feeling?

@Florence13 the knees are sooooo stiff, i bloody wish it was from 🍆but tho did get some (& we were musing over different porn likes) i can't sit down or get up without pain 😩how are you feeling lovely?

@Ltay2 that's exciting!! I have to say I got pretty bored of the washing stuff 😂

@LB20xx that's very exciting what tests do you have in?? I thought there was someone else around now Absolutely everything crossed it's your time hun xxx 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I went to bed early and found 2 pages to catch up on, back to using2 devices robe able to say
@Skip86 damm, it was the perfect opportunity
@everybodyindryjanuary strength ladies
@Dollybird89 I am also trying to lose weight, I put a lot on in lockdown, I need to start doing the stairs up and down again
@AHobbyaweek hugs, for you and your aunt
@Juno231 we already stablish that a female only society is the way to go, we'll farm the men for swimmers....
@Minster2012 I hope your knees will be ok
@Skip86 well, if you discuss this cycle is going to be bloody hard to pinpoint fw 😁
@lucyrp great news on the scan
@Hopeful110 my GP says to always call with any concerns, she'll soon put me right if it's bullshit...
@Minster2012 no fomo for you, you are the centre of our universe, aka bus driver, see that's how you sell the job
@paintfairy a nervous dog and small kids, I hope not, you know what'll happen
@Ltay2 we'll soon need a section of new mamas on the list 🥰

Just teaching ds to differentiate play from stim, as he normally calls it play, in secondary school I need to stim is going to sound much better than I want to play, stim is a release that autistics use to regulate their nervous system, can be many things for him is running in circles quite fast while flapping his fingers rapidly in front of his eyes while he talks to himself without making sense... I promise it helps

I lost nearly 2 pounds this week just by not eating rubbish all day and going to work instead, quite pleased with it

@Skip86 not medical, I just haven't felt the least bit horny since pregnancy, and I suspect DH was nervous at first and either still is or can't be bothered. Neither of us had a particularly high sex drive anyway
@Ltay2 thanks for making me feel less abnormal 💛

@Minster2012 I’m feeling okay, planning on testing OPKs when I’ve held my urine for a bit today. Will probably upload pics here for advice as I’m rubbish at reading.
@Franklydear I’ve lost 2lbs this week too so snap! Although I had a massive indian last night, so probably put one back on 😂

@Leah2501 well I lost the 2 pounds I put on over Xmas but still calling it a victory, I think the not having the time to eat treats all day done it😳😂

@BlondePotter I only did it 3 times the entire pregnancy with my little girl, just couldn't get my head in the right space. And then I had such bad SPD it would have been like sleeping with a 90 year old.

Right I need to keep my mind busy ladies... looking forward to the next cycle...
grapefruit juice - a cup from D1 to ovulation?
200ml pomegranate juice every day the whole way through?
I've got some seven seas tablets, got DP the male TTC vitamins and he's switched one pot of coffee a day for decaf, also doing dry January which can only help.
Am I missing anything?
What helps with womb lining, I'm starting to think this might be the issue. @Minster2012 can you double check my juice dosing 😂
Also with my insomnia last night I read your blog - fantastic writing!
I am going to try my absolute hardest next cycle not to POAS until a week post period being due too (LOL)

@LB20xx how have you not POAS already? You're amazing! 😂

@Florence13 been thinking of you too. Hope you're holding up ok xx

@DJmum83 @Juno231 if you get out of bed at different times is it worth even trying to temp?
Also what app do you use please xx

Thanks for a the support with the weight loss ladies much appreciated!!
