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

@Katao I haven't poked again today! Just had 2 lots of spotting when I wipes this morning and nothing since! That's mainly why I'm testing, at least I'll have a proper answer then and I'll know! I hope that is the case and your cycle is a bit longer than you thought!!

@Birdladybird stay positive🤞🏼x

@Ltay2 wow that's flown!! Glad you're doing okay! Despite being uncomfortable!!x

@blackcurrantqueen hahaha sorry!! Hopefully🤞🏼 I'll know by tomorrow!! Ohhh that tea looks lovely!! Love me a good pasta dish!

@Minster2012 im sorry I'm sorry!! I haven't rummaged since!! Dry jan is going well so far, however if I get a bfn tomorrow I don't know how much longer I'll keep it up for!! Also that stew, mouth watering!! Love a good stew!

@Katao just scrolled after my first message back to you and saw your second crazy person message!!! I'm going to stay positive for you!! There's still hope🤞🏼

@Franklydear take a pregnancy test then book your covid test I vote x

Thanks @Kirky658 @blackcurrantqueen and @Vil10

Love all the recipe sharing in this group!

@Minster2012 well there's my snow white test from this morning to get us going 😂

Am also doing dry January. Can't wait for a wine !

@Katao 🤣 looks like all mine ever have.
@Juno231 I've actually done that several times with ICs. Never before AF but after! 🤣
@blackcurrantqueen @Kirky658 thank you 😊

Hiya can I join in?

I’m on cd39, no period, neg tests.
Feeling sick, bloated and crap.

Getting high lh reading the few days though but no peak.

About ready to jump off a bridge.

Oh bless @SalemsPot22 sure join us, a few of us on the edge here! When were you getting the highs ? Are your cycles usually irregular/long?

@Minster2012 still going on dry jan 💪🏾 stew looks banging mate, well done! As does @blackcurrantqueen's dinner yummy 😋 and well done you doing dry jan too. Prob the worst jan of all time to do it so go us 😂
@SalemsPot22 welcome, please don't jump off a bridge tho! How long you been ttc and is it your first?

This will be my second child. I only came off the pill in November so not long.
First period was completely normal, ovulated just after and had a normal period. This month though I’ve never managed to get a peak reading. I’ve had highs pretty much all week so don’t know if I’m ovulating super late but today the reading is weaker. I feel pregnant, but negative tests and the doctors don’t really care so having a bit of a bummer time!

@SalemsPot22 it can take a while to regulate after the pill. Were you on it long? Maybe you missed the actual peak, were you testing once a day or more?

Yeah it’s so annoying! I’m such an impatient person

No I’m pretty useless with testing. In fact I think I’m going to stop all together. We have sex everyday anyway and it’s just causing unnecessary stress I think! It’s probably the stress that’s delayed my period tbh!

Did the test, completely white, not even worthy of a picture, I am going to bed soon , completely floored today, debating whether to book a test now, I do have a bit of a cough, nothing much by my standards

HIIT done 🙌🏻💪🏻

Oh yes @Katao that's an evil Snow White there, @Franklydear's not playing 🤣she's just thrown hers in the bin 😂booooorrrriiinnngggg @paintfairy me too, I didn't even use an FRER last feb when I got my BFP I used the one from the clinic which was an IC I was too scared. So I'm still chasing that illusive Line too

Up the dry January's 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 brilliant @Juno231 @Vil10 @blackcurrantqueen @notyetamumbuttrying
she says then runs and hides with @clolo totally down with the "ive cut down to 2/3 times a week" ☺️but I'm adding my white wine is now 9% & still white wine spritzers???? Is that better than before please tell me it's better🤔

These meals look lush @blackcurrantqueen adding to list

@paintfairy any WILD lockdown party plans tomorrow?? Weds is the wild day and all??

Hi @SalemsPot22 of course welcome but noooo don't jump offa the bridge. I'm afraid it's a standard case of "your body is a fuck boy"
Happens to us all. Our bodies hate us when TTC. That's why we cling to each other 🤪it may be that your first cycle wasn't actually a normal one and it might take another or so, if you still DTD regularly you should be covering it either way which is the important thing x

Ah @katao feel your pain! I'm 10dpo cramps but not like af cramps, boobs like bowling balls and piddling past myself oh and feel like I've been sucking pennies. Im supposed to be testing Thursday but I just don't want to see that white box......

Welcome @SalemsPot22 it takes a while to regulate after the pill. Perhaps your symptoms are your body trying to ovulate if you were getting high lh?

Trying to catch up.
@blackcurrantqueen so sorry you've had to go through this its just shit x

@Franklydear I still have our Christmas lights on our fence outside the front of the house 🤭
Some people decorated in Nov 39 days before Christmas, so I can keep them up till 30 days after 💁🏼‍♀️

@Minster2012 yas to getting HIIT done. I fixed my turbo trainer tonigjt so I can bike again 🥳🥳 makes me feel so much better.

Awww I do really hope there are some BFP soon, also love it when some OGs are lucky!

Sucking pennies you say @DOB78 🥸🤔👀👀👀👀

@blodyn91 can you class them as "festoon lights?" They stay up all year right?? Mind you, you are moving soon so mehhhhh they'll be down soon! Yay to turbo bike! How much turbo can you do in the third trimester?? You are putting us all to shame zzzzzzzzz

Thanks @DOB78 all of that sounds promising!! Hopeful for you. I don't really have any symptoms except the cramps. Felt sick for a bit earlier but honestly that doesn't count for much with me as get that with pms too. Just need to be patient!

@blodyn91 @Minster2012 @franklydear some of my friends are keeping their decorations up until Candlemas - apparently that used to be the tradition and they're clinging on to it this year cause of how shit everything has been.

Dry Jan going well but I am DYING to drink again. It's my birthday on Sat so I reckon I'll have a month's worth of booze that day 😅.

@katao @paintfairy glad I'm not the only crazy! I stared at the tests earlier but reminded myself that both rhr and temp have dropped so stop being a loon. Katao I'm sorry you had another snow white though :(

@paintfairy what dpo are you now? AF must be due end of the week or thereabouts, no?

@blackcurrantqueen yum that dish looked delicious!

I didn't plan my meals out for the week so will be worrying about what to cook for dinner tomorrow 😅

Sorry I had to have a couple of days away as suddenly felt really upset about everything. But love knowing you girls are all here you are all fantastic!

@Vil10 I am really keeping my fingers crossed for you still.

@Minster2012 find your zen and cling on to it hun!! You got this.

@Katao sorry for the bfn but your not out yet.

@DOB78 your symptoms all sound very promising, feeling super optimistic for you!!

Hello lovelies! I've got like 4 pages to read so this might be a bit long 😂

@DJmum83 hope you feel lots better soon ♥️

@Sausage1990 hurray for a negative covid response!! I love how mixed this group is too 🥰 feels like you've always got support no matter what point of your journey you're at 🥰

@LB20xx ooh that all sounds a bit promising! Fingers crossed for a BFP tomorrow!

@Justanothercyster ooh that's interesting about the hormone blood test results. Mine have always been normal but clearly something is going on otherwise my cycle wouldn't be so ridiculous

@Minster2012 that venison stew looked delicious!! Also, I'm now caught up on your blog and just...wtf was your director at your old workplace doing?!?!

@Vil10 big hugs! Try not to lose hope though, you're not out till AF shows up and all that

@Gem176 your poor friend! Toxic masculinity has a lot to answer for

@Birdladybird try not to lose hope! Hope you feel better soon too

@Kirky658 I couldn't be arsed with work today either. Loads to do and not enough hours in the day to get it done!

@Juno123 130 squats?! 😱 My legs hurt just thinking about that 😂 impressed at your dedication! How was the coronation chicken?

@Katao you are not alone!! I think having a crazy person moment is all part of ttc right?! If it makes you feel better, I convinced myself I was pregnant today despite being on CD7 and having a normal period 😂 now that's crazy! I think there's still hope for you though as AF hasn't turned up yet

@paintfairy your cake sounds delicious!!

@Franklydear hope you feel better soon lovely ♥️

@SalemsPot22 welcome to the bus!

@DOB78 keeping my fingers crossed for you!

@Florence13 no need to apologise lovely, hope you're feeling better now ♥️

As for me, it's been one looooooong day. Had to take one of the cats to the vet - looks like she's got cystitis so she's on tablets - and work is just being a complete pain. Loads to do, not enough time to do it and on some of it I just don't even know where to start. Another two pregnancy announcements today, my cousin had her baby and my best mate is due literally any day now, DH has done his back in and I'm just a bit miserable about it all. I don't think this month will be my month. Well, I say this month, who knows when or if AF will turn up again! 🙈

Girls you are the best, definitely feeling like less of a crazy person now 😀 ttc would drive anyone insane! @Juno231 no that's this morning's test, haven't fone another. Was just about trying to appease @Minster2012's need for frer pictures 😂
@florence13 sorry you are feeling low.
@InkyPaper thanks, hood to know I've company in my craziness. Sorry youve had a shit day but start fresh tomorrow 😉

Oooo @Juno231 when's candlemas?? I think it's nice to have an end point whenever that is, yes Saturday 🥳whoop!

So is there @paintfairy & @vil10 close to af (or not we hope)? And @DOB78 sounding good by the sounds of it! @InkyPaper do you know where you are at then? Sounds stressful with the cat & the bloody announcements gotta say, hugs on those, bloody things humph poor DH too, what did he do?? OMG my director was a masochist twat, I ended up threatening him with tribunal in the end in 2014 ironically getting a compromise agreement the week before I found out the cancer came back. He was horrendous. He's folded the company since then. Awful. He used to send emails titled "hi pet" & "thanks love" all of us managers had incriminating folders of emails on him just in case but I was the only female manager. Horrendous.

@Florence13 I wondered where you were you sounded so happy before after your honeymoon type sex I'm sorry you got down hun
