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

@Minster2012 I'm pretty sure I've ovulated haha, just flabbergasted that it's on day 14! I guess I'll see what happens over the next week or so... the cramps were a bit weird though. I need @Juno231 and her chart expertise haha!

@blackcurrantqueen I'll try and muster up the energy tonight 😂

@lucyrp haha really?

@Vil10 I see it!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@InkyPaper I've been having some really odd dreams too! Omg that dream you had sounds odd, maybe a good sign? Hopefully!

@Florence13 @InkyPaper @BlondePotter Thankyou girls, I'll wait and test again at the weekend but I'm not feeling too positive now! I might even start spotting today, I usually do 2 days before af, so I do I won't need to test x

@Vil10 I SEE IT!!!! fingers crossed the Friday test will be obvious! Xx

@Florence13 I am ok thank you, up and down but I think now my hormones are settled im feeling a bit more zen. Just going to throw all my energy into life and hope for the best!🤞🏼

@Justanothercyster I think I need to too... but agreed... effort 😂

@Minster2012 had an email just now saying here is the link for your training course ... tomorrow ! And I emailed back pretty sharpish sayinf umm I think its today and she said oh yes sorry 🙄🙄

@Justanothercyster normally I get eyelashes done and am quite tanned but I'm very washed out at the moment with no lashes so look I'll🤣 and I'm exhausted and haven't done anything with my hair 😂

@Vil10 supposedly only for 2 hours but god help me if it's for longer 🙄 oo I can see something on that! I didn't test until I was 13dpo so can't advise on thag although I'm sure @blodyn91 tested at 11dpo and got nothing then a BFP a few days later ?!

@Vil10 i see it! I'm sure it depends on when you had implantation as to how dark it will be. Keep faith and test again in a couple of days.

@Minster2012 didn't even notice the wrong name 😂

Well cramps have started up again and af due tomorrow so I think I'm out.

Come on up @Franklydear, beautiful views and big hugs await till you feel ready to go back downstairs.

Happy birthday @paintfairy hope you've something nice planned for today!

I can see the line @Vil10, dont worry about how faint it is for the first one, not everyone's is strong straight away, its whether it gets darker in 48/72hrs that would show if your high is rising so just use this one as a baseline. Keeping everything crossed that you've got a sticky bean in there. 🤞

Not much to report here, have had 2 days of the worst cramps and heavy bleeding but it seems to have tapered off now. I suppose in a way I'm lucky it wasn't drawn out it was only 4 days after af was due anyways so it won't have messed up my cycles too much. Tho we still haven't made up a decision on next steps yet, still awaiting our appointment with the recurrent miscarriage clinic but given lockdown who knows when that will be. So we're not sure whether to use protection so we don't keep having the heartache as I think after 5 losses it's quite clear something is wrong and any future bfp will most likely be a loss too so no point in trying till we actually get answers. Or do we no try to get pregnant but not use protection either, treat any future bfp with the thinking of its not going to stick (which will be really hard mentally) so isn't really a positive but there's that very slim chance that maybe a miracle will happen so hesitant to stop trying altogether, while also not knowing if emotionally we can keep going thru losses anymore 🤷‍♀️ I don't need to make a decision till nearer ovulation time so I'm jsut going to admire the views from the top of the bus until then.

That should have read hcg rising @Vil10*

@vil10 stay positive, I see it!!!!!
@franklydear shall I pass you some snacks up while you enioy the view?
@lucyrp daaammmnnn not what you need

Just had a random call off my bestie before work, she's a horse dressage groomer so always a very busy bee working from 6am, took the time to call to check I was doing OK (she knows how much of a worrier I am) feel so loved ❤️

@blackcurrantqueen I keep going back to check it, and it's definitely there, I just feel like it's an indent😩x

@lucyrp hopefully it won't but things like that feel like longer anyway!! If I don't start spotting I'll test again on Friday which will be 13dpo so if I am I should get a stronger one then

@Katao I'm sure I implanted on Sunday but I had a bit of spotting yesterday which I thought could've been af but had no more since so might have been implantation bleeding?

@DKDK123 I'll test again Friday then we'll see! Thankyou!! Glad you're feeling better but sorry to hear the dilemma you're going through, I completely understand that having another loss would just be emotionally and mentally draining, it's just whether you want to carry on trying for the hope that you might get that little miracle? I suppose it's how you both feel and what you thinks best at the end of the day, sending you hugs❤️

@Kirky658 ahh I don't know how to feel!!😂

Thanks for your positivity ladies, feeling the vibes

Thank you all, I’ll be in the top a while, view and snacks, feeling the love

@DKDK123 that is such a tough decision to make :( I think I'd be obsessed with "maybe next time it'll work" much the same way I still have a bit of hope with each passing cycle lol.

@Franklydear glad you're feeling better my dear

@Vil10 I can see the line! Could you have ovulated later than you thought so you're actually less than 11dpo? Even if not, like others have said it could be that your HCG levels are just rising slowly! Keeping everything crossed for you!!!🤞🏼🙌🏼

Well I go dog walking & @Vil10 comes in and I see a line too!! I'm all about the positivity so echo everyone else, I think it's gonna be stronger on Friday and so where's there's no 🧙🏻‍♀️there's a bean 🤞🏻🤞🏻🍀so come on snuggly!!

@DKDK123 so pleased the bleeding has stopped I'd just see how you feel over next few days and you might get the call from the clinic anyway

@Katao i didn't notice and nooooo to more cramping!

Any more snacks we can provide @Franklydear?

@lucyrp 🤣😂that's brilliant!

@Minster2012 🤣 That photo is terrible! And yes- crap weather most of the country i think. Pissing down here. AF won't arrive though- I spot for ages before. She's due at the weekend.
@DKDK123 I think take the pressure off. But I would maybe be with @Juno231 and not use protection. Because one time the stars have to be aligned?
@Franklydear I am sure you'll feel back with it soon. Don't worry about it for now. You will get there.
@Vil10 oh god. Testing = more stress than not testing. 🤣 Hmmm, no help really. But agree with the others if you implanted later it would be less strong. The people with strong lines by 11dpo probably just implanted early? No experience though.
@lucyrp 🤣 Let's hope they know what course they are running.

Well, typical paintfairy day. Pissing down. Car needed to be at the garage early ish. Think a belt needs changing. Also had battery issues since fri. It went if charged though. Garage man said he'll look and don't buy a new one yet. Battery was charged yesterday. Put it on car this morning. Nope. Nothing. Not going anywhere. Happy birthday! 🤣 So I'm sat with it on charge, side window partially open (couldn't be arsed to take it off again) listening to the neighbours having new gutter installed, by noisy workmen, in the pouring rain. I'm pretty sure that's less than ideal for them. I've got a work call at 10.30. Then I might just eat myself to death. 🤣 I've opened my cards and DH has bought me some perfume. He said something else might arrive today (might?). And takeaway tonight. Have horses and dog to sort at some point too - in the rain by the looks of it. 🥳 Anyone that has a child in January ought to be punished for it i reckon. 🤣🤣🤣

@Vil10 i think implantation bleeding can happen anytime around implantation so wouldn't tell you exactly when it happened. The bean can take a while to bed in.

@DKDK123 i feel like you need a little breather. You have been forced to be so strong going through this again and again. If I was you I would prevent this cycle just to have a little time to grieve. I no it would be hard to not try but you sound like you are at your limit and one month might give you a bit of time to heal. X

@Kirky658 we can mute ourselves and turn the camera off so all is well 🤣

@Vil10 it started at 10 and alresdy feels like I've been on here for an hour 😴😬 fingers crossed for a strong line then!

@Minster2012 I was fuming 😂

@paintfairy its safeguarding 🙄👀

@DKDK123 I've been in this predicament too, however the EPU and my GP have both said don't stop trying 🤷🏼‍♀️ it's definitely a difficult one. I think I may just stop taking tests until like a week post expecting to be due on or something (watch me I'll be 9DPO and pissing on sticks😂)
It isn't easy at all and again I don't think there is a right or wrong answer. I think I'm going to stop ovulation sticks etc maybe but still carry on with vitamins and having unprotected sex xxx

@paintfairy Happy Birthday!!! (I was sure I'd already said it but now I can't find it 😂) ooh what perfume did you get? And what takeaway are you going for...!

@Juno231 here's hoping🤞🏼

@Ltay2 that did cross my mind but I deffo ovulated on the 9th, I got my peak on the 8th, rhr dipped and had ewcm and pains! Yeah that could be a possibility!!x

@Minster2012 hoping the beans just getting snuggled in, I don't think it'll be too hard testing Friday (as in I hope I don't get too impatient), I just have a feeling I won't make it to then, feel like I have af pains😩

@paintfairy I had signs on Sunday which would have been 8dpo, but then I had some spotting yesterday so that could've either been implantation bleeding which would make it too early for a good line or it was af! Oh god what a day😂 what perfume did you get??

@Katao god TTC is such a minefield😂

@lucyrp I have to complete a designated safeguarding lead course but luckily it's just in your own time online one, not an actual zoom one thank god!

@blackcurrantqueen I think you did. Many of you did. But I can't get back to the page to see who that easily. So thank you to everyone that has!

Lancome Idole perfume. And there's a posh burger place in the city centre. Takeaway only atm. We'll have to collect but their food is amazing.

@paintfairy sorry to hear you have car troubles and not the best on your birthday. But I hope the rest of your day gets better and you have a lovely takeaway and the other thing arrives today.

I'm in a lot of pain this morning. Having endometriosis style cramping. No bleeding. So so worried. But not much point ringing anyone as you'd not be able to see anything on a scan at the moment as too soon. It has gone off a little bit now after lying in the foetal position (how ironic) for a bit. From a bit of googling it looks like pain from endo is quite common in early pregnancy but there doesn't seem to be any real info on it. This is so difficult not knowing what's OK and what isn't OK!!!!!

@Vil10 I see it, I came on just to see if you'd tested and I'm so pleased it looks positive!!! Definitely hopeful that with your symptoms and a faint line there is the start of something exciting happening for you ❤️❤️❤️

@Vil10 oh I really hope that line progresses! Like Lucy said I got a BFN on 10dpo, went on holiday, drank, no Af, tested again at about 15/16 dpo and had a strong line! 🤞🤞 I bet you are filled with excitement and anxiety right now!!

@Minster2012 I only biked for 30mins yesterday, just easy, keeping heart rate under 140, sweat a tiny bit but can read a book at the same time. ☺️ Im just going to carry on as long as its not uncomfortable.

@Juno231 I'll just say thats what Im doing too 🤭 Neighbors have told me twice 'you know your lights are still up?' 🤣

@DKDK123 I want to say, no don't stop trying! But I have no idea what kind of emotional strain its causing on your health. 😔

@Vil10 this ones 2 hours long with a PowerPoint and everything 😴

@blodyn91 keeping heart rate under 140 when exercising ?!😂 I speed walked around tesco to grab a few things last night and got back in the car and my heart rate had gone up to 155bpm🤣
