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 haven't got any in, I made sure of it 😂 so going to nip the chemist tomorrow if she's not made an appearance! 🙈

@blackcurrantqueen I've managed to avoid it by not having tests in the house, and because I have around 30 odd day cycles, I tend not to get too excited 😫😂

Omg OH just now told me he is new work trousers dont come till Tues so I now gotta stitch these up!!! God help me I'll be here for hours!

@Minster2012 I’m not as bad today as I was yesterday, trying to be positive and know I’ve got you all for support which is lovely. I never thought I could feel such support and talk so openly on the internet.

@blackcurrantqueen thank you.

@Minster2012 just read all of your blog, and you're fckn amazing woman 🙌🏼🙌🏼 not only for the almost unbelievable life you've had these last 10 years, but such a great storyteller and outlook.
I definitely welled up at one point too 😢
Well done 👏🏼

@Dollybird89 sorry everything is so up in the air for you at the moment :( stupid bodies and stupid world. I can't really offer any advice other than chase he clinic and enquire what they suggest, and just stick to what they've asked you to do xx

@AHobbyaweek sorry about your aunt, and everything else. Hugs x

@blackcurrantqueen really hope the lines get darker for you x

@Hopeful110 don't feel like an idiot, we hope and pray for something so strongly it all feels so real. And there's no way to really no for sure, so you never know! It's good they're putting you in clomid or let. That's my next step if dh's sperm DOES improve. Secretly hoping it doesn't so we can just whiz through to ivf...
at least something is finally happening for you which is very positive! I hope it works out. Stupid pcos! X

@Florence13 lots of hugs for you x

@LB20xx ooh exciting! Fingers crossed she stays away x

Well, I didn't get the magical Canestest as I'm 99% certain I know what it is, so have got me internal pill and cream and let's hope my fanny is fresh as a Daisy ready for fertile week 😂
P.S. friends who told us they were pregnant during the week by flashing scan on screen and saying "sorry we got in there first" made it fb public this morning. Same idea as I would've had go figure, typical pet stood there "going to be a big brother" letter board and all. Ffs.

Off for a walk now ☀️

@Minster2012 just gave your insta a cheeky follow and signed up the blog. Brave lady! Also- code brown 😂😂😂😂

@Justanothercyster yeah its been so confusing because I was using the cb digi opks too and always got the solid smiley face... but obviously that's just my typical pcos hormones fluctuating :( I guess atleast now I know what my signs of ovulation are....weeing myself with watery cm 🤣🤣 i hope your OH sa comes back ok though xx

Okay... so can anyone help me with my ovulation, I’ve got 3 days worth of sticks here. The top 3 are CD 13 second 2 are CD 14 and bottom one is CD 15 (today) the bottom one was not FMU and it was a 3.5 hour hold. Help me 😫

@Franklydear we are surely only farming the good men for the swimmers right?? & I'm clearly not selling this bus driving job well enough 🤔2lbs this week that's great! Well done! And not talking to boss boy, is that win win?

@BlondePotter it's whatever you guys are comfortable with 🥰

@Leah2501 another 2lbs 🙌🏻whoop! Awesome! These guys should be able to help on the OPKs cos they were looking pretty samey weren't they?

@blackcurrantqueen your juicing sounds perfect! 🙌🏻 for the womb lining you can also take evening primrose oil & after OV a couple of Brazil nuts a day is another thing some ppl say the selenium can help implantation but not more than a couple of few apparently. Aww thank you darling

@Dollybird89 🤣😂glad you got the 🍆though!! That poor dog! Are you good at sewing btw?!

@LB20xx 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Florence13 I know it's great isn't it. One of my closest friends is from MN IVF thread before because you open up more as a starting basis for friendship in an emotional sense I think. She was there for me in person the day I found out I likely had MMC & I'm so pleased it looks like she's pg naturally 🤞🏻🙌🏻I couldn't be happier

@Skip86 😘

@Justanothercyster you'll have a better idea when the time comes. That ones been done. Don't worry girl. And brave or stupid 🤪😬

@Juno231 well I'm glad it didn't affect his swimmers! Isn't dna a funny thing! I'm hoping that smoking and drinking is what affected my Dh swimmers and by cutting them out they improve...only 7 more weeks to go to find out! 😬
@Skip86 ah how you feeling about it all? Must be mixed emotions!
@clolo scary but good scary I bet!
@Hopeful110 I'm glad you know now and have a way forward, that's most important!
@Justanothercyster sorry hun, that must've been hard to see 😣 you'll get there tho hun!

@minster2012 I'm not too bad at it.. these trousers are awkward and I can't use my machine on them because the lining underneath has to be free moving due to the protection they offer... I regularly stitch them coz they cost up to 200 a pair and can get torn in under a week! But I love the trousers.. OH in them to me is like seeing hot firemen 😍😳😰🤪🤯

@Minster2012 win win indeed, both make me happier in myself, I bow to never let him drag me in his dramas again

Oh my! @Dollybird89 sending you lots of patience to stitch them up! 😳

So I've just had a bit of stretchy CM with a streak of blood when I wiped, I'll await the bitches arrival! 🙃

@blackcurrantqueen I always get up at 6.15 for work so even on my days off I set my alarm for that time and take my temp then I go back to sleep.
Read up on taking BBT first you have to take temp as soon as you wake before you move about talk etc. Some take temp vaginally or orally. I do vaginally because I sleep with my mouth open ( well so hubby says)
I use fertility friend xx

@Leah2501 the IC OPKs aren't meant to be FMU I don't think, they are usually done throughout the day I believe at around 11, 2pm then maybe 6pm? @Vil10 you do them right @blodyn91 you were good? @Juno231 do you still do it? So like the ones throughout the day on your CD13 /14 they look more similar to how I would imagine but not a clear peak but looking like it was gonna get there today perhaps

@Dollybird89 worth it then both for the protection & for the stimulation they offer 😂

@LB20xx damn no

@LB20xx that's exciting!! Keeping everything crossed for you!!

@Dollybird89 glad you got a good dickin🍆

@Justanothercyster urghh typical!! It gives you the chance to do a better one though when your time comes!!

@Leah2501 so I'd say the 1st opk on the second lot looks like your closest to peak but not peak just yet, I think if I was you I'd just keep DTD maybe test again tomorrow around 11, try not to drink anything beforehand and see what it is, if it's low again don't stress yourself out with testing, as long as you've been DTD, if you've missed your peak at least you'll have covered it anyway! I'd definitely order the easy@home opks though!x

So is anyone else 1dpo today and can be my cycle buddy??

@Minster2012 my mind was at the back going "ooh implantation 👀" but the reality/negative Nancy in me is just like nope it's just impending AF! 🙃

@Ltay2 how did your OH take the sudden drop in sex after your BFP? I honestly think mines would be raging if I suddenly stop after getting a BFP. Were you both TTC for long before your BFP? It's probably more of a shock to cut it down if it's being months/years of regular sex TTC 🤔 my husband would definitely get upset and think I was only ever doing it for the baby and never just for our pleasure.

Thank you @Vil10 I’ve probably missed my peak then, which doesn’t bother me as we’ve been DTD. Assuming I’m now 1DPO.
Does everyone here have sex the day after ovulation? I wouldn’t even think about it but husband has said we should - assuming he’s just loving the ‘trying’ 😂

@2020mission Pre-TTC we were having sex once a fortnight or sometimes once a week then during TTC obviously more during FW but it was a struggle for us to do it more regularly, I know it added pressure to OH. The first stretch before we had sex in pregnancy I think he took it a bit personally and he was worried about why I wasn't wanting to and that I kept turning him down but once we'd done it the once I don't think he's too bothered any more, he hasn't mentioned it and if he was bothered he would. Although now I am a lot bigger and he sees how uncomfortable I am so he hasn't tried it on anyway as I feel he probably knows what he'd get now 😂 he seems happy enough right now, we have a different bedtime routine of him cuddling me and he likes to talk to and feel the baby kicking before going to sleep.

@LB20xx you aren't out til the witch shows and all that!

@Leah2501 if he's up for it why not eh?! Glad you've got a cycle buddy 🙌🏻

@Ltay2 that sounds lovely

So yeah i think the bruising is starting to show now and sorry about my shit legs. They are, well, real life legs in the cold. Corn beefy we used to say!

@Minster2012 I guess so! I'll wait it out and see 👀
Also your poor knees 😫 you've done yourself a right mischief there!! And it's okay, I'm part of the corn beef club too! 🙋🏻‍♀️

Ouch @Minster2012 they look sore... you've done a proper job there

@Leah2501 wooo you're the same as me then!! I don't think it's a necessity especially if you've been DTD up to and day of, I will be doing today though just because when OH left this morning I was still in my skimpy lace nightie and in his words said "I'll be giving you a right good boning when I get home" 😂

@Minster2012 ooo look at those bruises!!

What's everyone up to this afternoon then? OH has been out with his friends and the dogs all day (he's also text to say he'll be gone longer because the tit has lost his keys in the snow) so I've had a day on my own which has been lovely managed to do some housework, and make some carrot and parsnip soup in my new soup maker for my dinners this week, now just catching up on some work whilst eating a brew and biscuits, I'm treating myself for doing so well with my diet this week, balance right??

@Minster2012 my knees bruise so easily so that doesn't look unnatural to me haha even a yoga session has me bruised on my knees the next day. Explains why I wasn't a crawler as a baby - my mum said I was a bum shuffler 😂 then just got up and walked. I think I've always had bad knees.

@Ltay2 glad to hear your OH is all right with that! I think if I get pregnant my tactic will be to give him some action without him going in if you know what I mean 😆 at least for the first trimester as there's a bit of me that thinks continuing to DTD after both BFPs I got might have lead to the chemicals. Can't believe you're only a few months away from your due date now, it feels like yesterday you were in the thread trying haha. It's nice that you and some other bus grads still pop in here now and again. I noticed a few just disappeared and never come back even ladies that still get tagged on the new buses!
