wearing pjs all day long, making money from our thong, tww driving us crazy, all this s**t to make a baby! TTC bus 29

[Minster2012]

TTC bus 29...
Oh my goodness to say we are a chatty group is an understatement most times but that’s great cos it’s not all about TTC here, anything goes, we now have a bus with a beautiful panoramic roof seat so a few ppl can pop up on top heads up and out into wind to gulp in the non TTC air but still hold on to us & know where we are...like our pups that come with us with ears flapping in the wind our beloved ladies may have one flap flying in the wind...”watch out for the left outer flap”...someone once shouted to their OH...that might set the tone here nicely.

Get it?! No?! Sometimes nor do we...🙄the chat, the deed, the sperm, the egg, the fact that we aren’t pregnant yet after shagging twelfty millions times a month forever. But we are here for each other, to chat shit, to help each other out the pits or wallow within the pits, for all the highs and lows.

And if you see mention of my blog then blame these guys they made me do it...#shamelessplug

@Ltay2 28 weeks already 😅 time flies! Glad you're doing ok other than the back pain and dry nose. I really want to see someone who's been on the bus for many months (or even years!) get their BFP soon. Of course any BFP is good news here but someone who's been around for a long while is due and really gives us all hope too.

@birdladybird keeping everything crossed for you. Now take care and rest up!

Anyone else just not in the mood for work today? I've amended 6 holidays today and God knows how many more to do before end of the day... Gahhhh

@Minster2012 what is with you guys and condoms 😂 are you just too rough?

@Katao yeah I feel like this chat represents society in the ttc world haha, those that are lucky, those that are unlucky, and those that are just pure lost 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Birdladybird I hope it ends well for you x

Afternoon girls
Shit nights sleep followed by a shit nap from DD. Dry January can go f**k itself!! 😴
Counting down the hours until bedtime and still need to cook dinner! Fully on a Bing binge here today and I'm not even going to feel guilty about it! AND she's got her dummy on the sofa. I'm going to mummy hell 😂

@Vil10 get your hands out 😂 could still be implantation bleeding so I am still thinking positively for you!

@Katao will stay quietly optimistic for you too!

@Birdladybird let's hope those four eggs are good little growers !!

I've forgotten what sex is. Hope I feel a bit more up for it in the next few days or my OH will be feeling really used 😂

@Birdladybird take care of yourself, must be tough. Hopefully your 4 ho on to do great things 😃 we'll keep you company until Friday.

@Minster2012 that's good you are keeping zen, or trying at least. Waiting waiting waiting isn't it always.

@Ltay2 sorry you are not very comfortable but enjoy all the organising 😃

@blackcurrantqueen you do what you got to do to get through the day! You are having a tough time, needs must .

@ttcabroad hun I agree it sounds like we have had similar stories. I'm sorry you've been through it too, not something I'd wish on anyone. Definitely understand the low mood days. How's are you feeling now?

@lucyrp if you're feeling fuzzy & blacking out when standing it could be you blood pressure. It can be low in the 1st trimester especially if your eating & drinking is effected by your sickness/nausea... maybe go get it checked.

@Franklydear I think that's exactly it tbh, we were promised a baby but been robbed of it and our motherly hormones are like wft?!

@Katao @minster2012 ahh thanks lovelies. Yeah I'm trying to be kind to myself. I've had to work really hard over the years to be kind to my body from a weight/body image point of view & I think that just filtered into healing/recovering from the miscarriage etc. You've gota nourish in order to flourish 🌻

@minster2012 on the condom front we used to use Skyn ones and they're really good. You can't feel them as mucb as other ones we tired... And I agree @justanotjercyster they obviously are too rough haha

I love that we're all such a mixed bunch and just a demonstration that online doesn't always have to be awful... A perfect example of community and women supporting women 💕 getting each other through ttc, ivf & pregnancy in the middle of a global pandemic 🌈

@birdladybird sending love & fingers crossed for Friday.

@2020mission Oh I know, happy for everyone who gets their BFP of course but there will be something special about those who've been on here/trying for a long time ☺️

@Katao I am enjoying the organising! 🤣 I don't like to complain, especially here when I know everyone would kill to be in my position. I think I'm just fed up of working at home from a dining table with an achey back and no one to gossip to like I would have in the office!

A birth plan omg @Ltay2 Jesus that makes me feel an old bus driver 🤣😂but nice though! And I want to snooze!! I think a lot of pol are missing the ppl side of the office

@blackcurrantqueen there is no bad mummy thank you. Though I hate bing, I was literally just talking to my friend about him & mutha f in "I'm such a saint" flop can DO ONE (ok @Katao maybe not that zen!) but I'm trying

I don't think we are that rough @Justanothercyster maybe sometimes &
@notyetamumbuttrying I mean, sometimes we are but certainly not last night, it was loving!! 😂😂❤️I will try skyns thank you @Sausage1990 & I love our little community too!

Keep going @Kirky658

We are all on @Vil10 for having a rummage 🤦🏼‍♀️get outta there

@Minster2012 same here he is a whingy little thing isn't he. I've managed to turn the telly off in favour of snail and the whale and some duplo, now to decide if I can be bothered for a walk round the block before dinner 😴

@Birdladybird heya, glad retrieval is done and hope you get some embryos made! Hope you feel better soon too, take care x
@Minster2012 hope you can keep that zen my dear 🧘 ah look at you and your loving sesh 🥰 I'm heading into FW tomorrow and I'm up for it a bit rough 😂
@Sausage1990 it is lovely to see, I agree! 🙂 hope you're well hun.

@blackcurrantqueen pffft surely dry jan doesn't count for a month like yours?! treat yo self!

@Ltay2 lovely to hear from you

@Minster2012 Time is going so fast! Still can't really believe I will have a tiny human to care for soon 🙈

@Juno231 I'm having a boy! I don't miss the commute, other than the time to myself listening to music, but I really miss the social side of being in the office. Totally feel better about being at home and safe right now though but I usually work with my mum too so I miss seeing her. She's sneaking round sometime in the next few weeks coz can't cope with not seeing me before baby arrives 🤣

Ok crazy person alert. I'm driving myself mad. Nothing happening today, no spotting or cramps. Last night cramps were pretty strong, like proper af cramps but no af. Now I can't stop myself thinking 'maybe'. I'm trying not to entertain these thoughts as no doubt af will turn up and I'll just be annoyed at myself for living in false hope. I tested this morning 11dpo bfn frer but it was technically smu as I got up pee in the early morning so it was about 3hrs later but no fluids in between. Again this morning I took it as a bfn and was ok, now I'm making excuses... too early, smu blah blah. Why am I doing this to myself ! Oh and I feel sick.... 🤪

Also feel like I've jinxed myself by posting this and af will arrive within the hour 🙈😂

@Kirky658 yeah you'll be able to see much more!!

@Katao yeah there is ! £80 was far too much for me 😬

@Sausage1990 ahh yes I hadn't thought of that! It is most times I get up at the moment !

@Juno231 I am with you on the no carbs! I'm trying to be really good! Am having my venison stew with just the veggies in it, jacket potatoes for DH & DS, I had a green smoothie for breakie (you know, fluffy womb lining n all) and eggs & abacado & mackerel for lunch. I don't weigh myself but trying to be really good. Go on @blackcurrantqueen go for that walk, think of smashing bing with every step 🤣😂 I will do some HIIT with DH after DS in bed. Get the blood going

@Ltay2 just don't drop it you'll be grand!

@Katao whoop crazy person back!! There's always hope love definitely 🤞🏻🤞🏻only 11dpo, @blodyn91 went from bfn then to BFP don't forget so not crazy!

@Minster2012 condoms I can help with!
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mates-SKYN-Condoms-Original-Elite-Large-Extra-Lubricated-Intense-Feel-NON-LATEX-/132655841410?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292 the red ones! Intense feel or whatever they are called. We tried loads. 🤣 No lakes though, not sure how you manage that. 😆

I was trying to think @Juno231 who the long termers were that did! But yes, every time one does, it gives the rest of us hope. One day......

@Birdladybird I'm sure it'll be fine x
Try not to worry. There were some eggs and that's great news! Only takes one.

Oh - today I've made myself a white chocolate and strawberry Victoria sponge for my birthday tomorrow. (Not sure that's right mind?). No diet for me!

@Minster2012 ah cheers I needed that solidarity - I'll def stay away from the taters then!

@katao if it helps then I'm cd3 and contemplating just double checking with an IC 🤣. CD1 was super light, yesterday was spotting and today I've got nothing so I'm obv crazy and thinking "what if". Thing is i think I had a cycle like this recently where AF stopped and then restarted with a vengeance a day later so I'm sure that's what's happening again. Fingers crossed that it's the real deal for you!!

Hello, work finished, I feel better but not really, I did eat lunch and kept it down, I feel light headed, bestie boy tried to tempt me with chocolate, so when I couldn't comtemplate eating them, he's asking for a round down of symptoms, he is completely clueless my boy, so no idea...
I don't know if test or book a covid test then, I did have a little cough but only a few times for a couple of days, and I am severely asthmatic and this is winter after all, only had a chest infection this winter so, I don't know what to make of all of this
The thing that stuck from the catch up, was what a lovely community we have, so glad I found you, and there's no bad mums here, you are all heroes to me

@Minster2012 I know, it's not impossible is it. Whoop to the crazy 😂
@Juno231 I'm with you, I've done that before. More than once. Go for it, it's only a cheapy. No judgement here. That does seem a weird af. I feel like I've lost all perspective. I feel something but I feel like its all wishful thinking and I've been hopeful before.

@Franklydear I'd definitely try a pregnancy test before you go down the covid test route, simpler.

At least I'm not alone in all the second guessing. God I was so sensible this morning, that didn't last long 😂

Every day in my commute, I past a big charity shop that still has 5 Xmas trees fully decorated in the shop windows, obviously they didn't come back yet, it cheers me up no end

@franklydear hmmmm interesting! The Xmas trees sound lovely
@juno231 that sounds yummy, hunters chicken in this household tonight!
@paintfairy happy birthday for tomorrow!!! Cake sounds yummy, someone else deffo should have made it for ya tho!
@katao keeping everything crossed for you!

I love how this comment is mostly about food. 😋

@Katao I know my history is not the most reliable but I've not had a positive 11dpo then got one at 12dpo before so there is still a chance! You aren't out just yet 🤞🏼

@paintfairy HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOR TOMORROW LOVELY LADY!

@Franklydear I vote both types of test, two birds and one stone and all that!

@Minster2012 also recommend SKYN!
I failed at the walk though we did go to the park for an hour this morning. Sent her to the shop with OH for milk whilst I made dinner...

On the subject of dinner this is what I made, I forgot how long it takes to prep but it is bloody lovely... I know there are a few fellow foodies in here...
www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/baked-conchiglioni-sausage-sage-butternut-squash/amp
Will attach a photo of it pre mozzarella topping... honestly sooo good!

Shall we all do a pregnancy test?? I said this to @lucyrp last year, everyone just posting their results least we'd all feel included 🤣🙌🏻 and yeah it's better than a Covid test (you know like when it's whoop whoop here's my line....for us it would be we yeah here's my snowy white!) @Juno231 @Franklydear I love the trees I heard someone on the radio say why not keep them up all 2021 but I thought it would lose it's magic!

@paintfairy mmmm that sounds AMAZING

How are the dry January's holding up? @Vil10 @Juno231 @clolo @notyetamumbuttrying was it?

Here's my venison stew for the foodies
