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

@Vil10 my Sunday's are always house work and the weekly shop. Probably my least favourite day of the week because of that haha. I don't know how anyone can diet in January to me it's the most miserable month of the year. I need the treats and weekend drinks to get through it 😂 I'm surprised you're dieting as I'm sure you posted a photo of your slim legs months back so I can't imagine you are needing to lose anything!

@Franklydear no never sold anything. Got asked if I have an Etsy shop on Instagram the other day which gave me a warm fuzzy feeling but knitting is my destress and if I had to do it to a deadline or with judgement I might lose it.

Thanks all for the well wishes for my aunt.

Starting back at work tomorrow after 5 weeks off (jury duty then holiday) and not looking forward to it. All WFH but this time a 5 yr old is homeschooling at the same time so we will see how that goes. DH is in charge of the schooling but so that is ok.

Hey ladies. Can I hop on the bus?

My name is Nat, I’m 36 (37 next month 🙈) I have 2 boys from a previous relationship aged 13 and 10. I’ve been with my partner for 3 years (he has no children of his own) and we’ve decided it’s now or never really!

I had my coil taken out in October as it had been in for 5 years and my partner got all excited. He’s been desperate to have a baby for a few years but I was a little more hesitant due to being a single mum when the boys were 2 and 4, it was hard work! But after losing my mum in November and miraculously my partner is still around after putting up with my erratic mood swings and at times diva behaviour, I thought, fuck it! We’ve been careful up until I got merry at Christmas (most of it if I’m honest) and was like, it’s fine.. crack on! Now I’m waiting to see if my period comes on Friday and secretly symptom spotting and pissing on pregnancy sticks daily, even though I know it’s too bloody early. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Good job I do the banking cause it’s a more expensive habit than my wine.

Anyway, enough of me rambling! Hope you’re all having a fab Sunday!

4 hours later.... I'm finally finished he's going to work tomorrow looking like an orange Frankenstein with all the patchwork needed but phew! Done! Now to start tea and enjoy last few snuggles before he goes bed at 7.30! I'm gonna be a wreck tomorrow back to being on my own all day .

@AHobbyaweek me too, well, I've made her gloves, now I'll just give them to her when she is due at work and go with the charity donation on my name if she wishes.... I do things for people but not for money, and you can choose a colour if I have it...the rest is up to me

@Franklydear I agree. I have made things for people as presents or requests and usually ask colour preferences. I don't do it for a date though!

DH is doing some DIY, he is quite capable but gets so grumpy, I shall need some wine tonight...

@lucyrp really exciting news on the scan!!! So happy everything is going well and your little bean is nice and snug.

I've been working all weekend, 10 till 6 yesterday and 11 till 5 pm on call centre cover. Deep joy.... So now I am waiting for the day to end 🤣

Hope everyone is okay x

Hey all, will catch up later, just marking my place. 😘

@Vil10 I think I'm 1dpo today, as I had some spotting yesterday.
@Justanothercyster oh no! Must be hard. 😞
@Dollybird89 wow, you must really have some patience! Mine would be going trouserless i think. 🤣

Well, the giant dog has left the building. I keep randomly crying. 🙄 Honestly. Hope anyone has pets and gives them up, I've no idea. I don't even know why I thought I could foster. I need to have a word with myself! 🙈 My bratty spoilt dog is probably pleased though.

@Hopeful110 tbh that's why I stopped using opk's, we always get high lh with pcos so you never actually know 😣 I go cm too now and a temp shift (though always tentative). Thank you x

@Minster2012 @Vil10 a very honest and open one is what I've promised myself, to get everyone thinking and get rid of the stigma!

@notyetamumbuttrying thanks lovely x

@Vil10 we've been for a lovely walk around the local nature reserve to pick some weeds for the tort and get the dog out, got some nice shots too 📸
Jelly about the soup maker! So want to get one when we move!

@Nats7504 welcome :) we share the same name 😉 hopefully it'll be a quick catch for you x

@Vil10 definitely about balance I'm alll about the balance, we've sorted house jobs mainly then sat around! And I e updated blog & talked to my friends

@2020mission yeah I never think my knees look good 🤦🏼‍♀️. I know it's a shame some of the other preggers OGs are a bit absent now 😩but I guess it's tough trying to work and keep up with us & their own groups 😔it will be us soon xx

@AHobbyaweek how was the jury service?! Was a gruesome one?

@Nats7504 hi & welcome to the bus! We've got a few POAS addicts here but we try and take it a bit cautious too, hoping it's a short one for you & your OH xx

Oh no @paintfairy i would totally be like that 😩😭😭😭awful

@Minster2012 I'm allowed to talk about it now! It was a case of perverting the course of justice. The woman was accused of helping her boyfriend after he murdered his cousin in broad daylight. She picked him up and then got him cash, dropped him at his mates at 3am, went to the crime scene to check it out then got a burner phone. Unfortunately it was a hung jury so back to the trial drawing board

@Minster2012 June 2nd lovely 🥰

Just on the topic of no sex, I was advised by the midwife at EPU to refrain from sex for the rest of the pregnancy 😳 she actually offered to let me record her saying it so I could tell OH 😅😂

Sorry pressed send too soon!

@lucyrp so pleased your scan went well, it's a nice little reassurance 🥰

@LB20xx keeping everything crossed for you!! Although I don't know how you haven't tested already 😂 I'd have been straight on to amazon 😂

@Minister2012 what have you done to your knees?! Also got the link to your blog to read later 🥰 Did you say there's an insta for it too or have I made that up?

Has anyone got any tips and tricks for getting themselves into a productive routine? I really struggled last week getting back into work after Xmas, so I've decided to try a set wake up time (which isn't 15 mins before I have to be on the laptop) and also get some exercise in. But any suggestions welcome x

@KateColx was that due to a medical issue she suggested that ?! Yeah it was lovely seeing them on the screen 🥰

@2020mission I used to do them both on Sundays too but now I just switch it up sometimes because I was the same I hated sundays! Hahaha you do speak sense!! I'm supposed to be going to Mexico in June with 2 other couples, both of which the girls have really good figures so I'm like right I need to be good😂 why Thankyou but it was probably the angle because I put so much weight on during lockdown and Christmas!!

@Nats7504 welcome lovely!!X

@paintfairy woo cycle buddy!!

@Justanothercyster I definitely think that's a good idea, real emotion! Lovely pic, glad you had a nice walk!! This one I've got the OH got me for Christmas because I'm always making soups😂 it's just a morphy Richards one but it's so good and easy!

@Minster2012 im gonna read your updated bit of your blog now! I'm up to date so far!x

@AHobbyaweek sounds at least interesting! I think I'd like that.
@Vil10 😬
@Minster2012 I'm getting annoyed at myself for crying now. 🤣 Get a grip woman.

@Leah2501 well you could still be ovulating tomorrow if the assumption is that you missed your peak yesterday? So definitely more BD! I'd also suggest you use an app to track your opks with next cycle (eg femometer) as it's far too hard analysing them once they've dried and the app itself helps you decipher if it's a peak. Remember not to use FMU and to test 3 times a day once you get a stronger line.

@Hopeful110 I'm glad the gp referred you! I'm confused though, did you say your bbt showed temp shifts but really long LPs or?

@DJmum83 6DPO and I've got the biggest difference between FP and LP temps I've ever had plus I had no dip in temp today like I normally would. Intrigued to see how it continues :)

@paintfairy I'm sorry :( I don't think I could ever foster for that reason, I'd just end up adopting all of them 😅

@Juno231 I would have kept him if it was left to me. I'm still effing crying! 🙄🙈

Chart for reference!

Wow girls I'm fuming!! Just dropped my OH off at his friends to watch late kick off football, on my way home and I've indicated to turn right into a street and a car hasn't stopped and gone right into the side of my car, so I wound my window down swearing at him telling him to get out the car, was 3 lads, he wound the window down and shouted something that made no sense, looked and sounded pissed!! And then sped off!! Luckily 2 women saw it and got the first bit of their reg and have given me their names and numbers in case I need to contact them, and my boyfriend knows the guy who owns the shop where it happened so he's messaged him asking for cctv! People are absolute dick heads!!!

Catching up,
@Nats7504 that sounds like a very rough year for you losing your mum no wonder you needed wine, big hugs

@Dollybird89 how long does he work for? Just long days or away?

@Kirky658 annnnd relax!!

@Clairey844 how are you???

@paintfairy so you are with @Vil10 and @Leah2501? And I wouldn't stop blubbing either especially after their reaction and being lax tbh

@Justanothercyster that's one for a canvas that's a gorgeous shot!

@AHobbyaweek 😱😱😱why was it hung if it was a burner phone and stuff??

@KateColx why no sex??? Eh?? The rest of your pregnancy, just interested to know why?! Yes the Instagram is just minstermusings that will have a few other bits on, and links to the recipes/meal plans from the blog forum. On the work routine I always have to wake the same time, do exercise first, upstairs, THEN allow myself to go downstairs & have breakfast otherwise I don't do it & sit down & get distracted...then work for a set period during which time I eat a piece of fruit & drink a litre of water, then dog walk, then work for set period & drink a litre of water then lunch. Work a set period then dog walk then repeat. Otherwise I just procrastinate.

@vil10 omg what an asshole!!!!! Are you okay!?! Thank god those women saw it happen xxx
