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

I'm sitting here quietly waiting for a sticky one 🙂🤞

Gem176 · 17/01/2021 20:19

@paintfairy if I can I'm going to hold off on telling her until 12 weeks 😂 then she can go nuts and tell whoever she wants!

@Kirky658 I've always liked my sleep anyway so I'm only going to be waking up to eat at this rate 😂
Glad telling your parents went well 😊 just a shame FiL didn't quite manage to keep the negative Nancy comments to himself.
P.s forgot to say but I didn't realise we were quite so close, for some reason I thought you were way ahead like 20 odd weeks, must be confusing you with someone else 🙈😂

@Vil10 meant to be in New York at the start February but that's been cancelled and lanzarote in April is now looking highly unlikely 😭

@Juno231 im so sorry that af showed up for you 😢

@Franklydear don't ever lose hope lovely 💐

bez91 · 17/01/2021 20:21

Hi ladies, phewwww hard to keep up here so just marking my place 😊 hope everyone had a good weekend

Kirky658 · 17/01/2021 20:24

@Gem176 haha don't worry, I'm 5 weeks today so just a few days apart I think! Yeah it is a shame. Its bizarre because my DH is the Kindest, sweetest, loveliest man ever just like his mum but it's just his dad... He's a bit of a tw*t to be honest 🤣 but I knew what I was getting into when we got married. X

Katao · 17/01/2021 20:31

@Nats7504 you can jump right in here, no different rules for newbies 😉 so sorry you have recently lost your mum x and yes definitely finding like minded support makes most things better 🥰

@Kirky658 😡🤬😡🤬 so not on! What gives him the right to rain on your parade. So sorry you had to deal with that, try to put him out of your mind and concentrate on the people who are celebrating with you.

Clairey844 · 17/01/2021 20:35

Hey all! I'm jumping on board to keep up with all the BFPs that are on their way plus I am far too nosey and invested in so many of your stories 😍 feel like I know lots of you for real ha ha

@Kirky658 your FIL sounds like a knob-sorry 😂

@Vil10 just caught up on the end of the last bus and I have such a good feeling for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Xx

Penguinmumma · 17/01/2021 20:36

@Minster2012 I sang the title of this one 😂

paintfairy · 17/01/2021 20:42

@Nats7504 sorry about your mum. I know what you mean though. You don't have to have gone through it, you just need a brain. I lost my dad the year before last, a few months before my wedding. I kind of get that people are useless and I'm OK dealing with it on my own. But I've a friend now who's dad is in a similar boat with illness. And she came to me in the end saying I'd know how she felt. But she was fed up of people telling her to be positive, she's still got him for now, bla. And she said it was making her so angry. And I did completely get that- i was pleased most people chose to say nothing to me. Rather than idiot comments. Just like I've never asked in my life why people don't have kids or pass comment. Yet some people do? 🙄

@Gem176 my mum would be ecstatic. So I think I'd do the same. She's always commenting. Made one earlier (by text) saying there was no room for my kids then (she doesn't know we are ttc) because I was telling her how we have a gang of imaginary people live here that DH blames for things. The paint in the shed incident wasn't him. He always blames the invisible man. Pisses me off. But she must get a comment in at least once a month, if not more. And as far as she's concerned, I've never wanted kids. Aaarrrggghhh.
@Kirky658 ffs. Like you don't know that. Thanks for pointing it out. Arsehole. 🤬

DJmum83 · 17/01/2021 20:53

Hi omg a new bus already, we really do like to chat.

@Juno231 I'm so sorry AF showed up it really really sucks.
Valentine surprises I'm keeping everything crossed for us.

@Minster2012 thank you for the new bus.

I'm off to bed absolutely shattered. DS said it was the best day, that's good enough for me.

Night night xxx

Nats7504 · 17/01/2021 20:57

Exactly. We can all support each other, regardless of the situation or journey. I found my friends either being full of the ‘I’m so sorry, so glad it’s not me’ or the ‘time will heal’ like I said I found myself using online forums to find like minded people to save my friends the doom and gloom. Grief in whatever form it is needs to be addressed and discussed. I’m saying this but have yet to grieve myself. Advice is easier given that received. 🙈 Before mum was ill, my OH and I had planned to start trying last year, circumstances changed that but I feel I need to start living my life and being 37 next month I need to think of my future. I have no idea what the future holds for me 🙈

Gem176 · 17/01/2021 20:59

@Kirky658 I'm 5 weeks on Tuesday so really not much between us 😊 nice to actually have someone that close date wise! I don't have any in laws. OHs mum died when he was 17 and his dad passed away last year but I never met him as he had advanced Alzheimer's and my oh and him didn't have the greatest of relationships. We live really near his two brothers and their families and they are all so lovely! I'm actually excited to tell them!

@Vil10 I've got a good feeling about you too.... you don't have to answer but have you noticed mega bloating and constipation?

@blackcurrantqueen hope everything goes well for you tomorrow 🤞🏻

Gem176 · 17/01/2021 21:04

@DJmum83 glad ds had a good day, hope you get a good sleep and are feeling better tomorrow 😊

Vil10 · 17/01/2021 21:06

@Minster2012 maybe, might try and wait until Wednesday!!

@Kirky658 omg what??? What a dick!! Hope you're okay!!

@Gem176 ohh that's so annoying!! Not fair is it! I have Mexico in June and Greece and July and I don't think there's a chance they're going to go ahead either!! Very strange you say that, I've been bloated all day, tried to go to the toilet and was struggling, OH even commented on my stomach when he put his arms round me before😂

@Clairey844 Thankyou, I do hope your feelings right!!x

@Nats7504 so sorry to hear about the recent passing of your mum, sending hugs❤️

Gem176 · 17/01/2021 21:09

@paintfairy mine is forever telling me about other people that are pregnant, people I'm assuming have told her in confidence so there is zero chance of me telling her anytime soon 😂 she always tells me then says but nobody's meant to know so keep it quiet.... eh quiet like you are you mean???!

Kirky658 · 17/01/2021 21:10

@gem176 buddies ❤️
@vil10 sounds promising!!! Ee

KateColx · 17/01/2021 21:12

Just marking my place for lurking 👀💁🏼‍♀️

paintfairy · 17/01/2021 21:12

@Gem176 🤣🤣🤣 bless her! Yeah, no way she'll be keeping it quiet. 🤣

Minster2012 · 17/01/2021 21:17

@Nats7504 don't worry I totally get you, and I was talking to someone just earlier about the need for good ppl in your life, be it IRL or online, there's always someone who cares for you, for the highs & lows. we know that TTC or not, I sent out a few messages of support to some of the ppl on this thread who have been here a while before Xmas (the old girls so to speak, the OGs) to say just that...we got you babe 🥰😘

@notyetamumbuttrying we have been watching some classics recently, it was Fight club on Friday, Thelma & Louise tonight! What are you watching?

@lucyrp don't miss the bus!!

@Kirky658 I bet my mum would say the same. Unless she tells me specifically to lose it this time. @Gem176 you and kirky literally got your BFPs same day I thought!!

@DOB78 everything crossed hun 😘☺️

@Franklydear don't make me give you a talking to girl

Hey @bez91 hows things?!
@Penguinmumma I think it deserves to be sung...but I can't sing, I'll leave that to you! How you doing? Any news?

@Clairey844 is it Friday?

@DJmum83 the best day, that's so nice, you deserve an early night sweetheart I hope the bleeding stops & you feel better xx

Phew!

Gem176 · 17/01/2021 21:17

@Vil10 I'm getting really excited for you now! My only symptom at the moment is a really bloated stomach and complete inability to poop 😂 the sleeping and eating is pretty normal for me so wouldn't say it's pregnancy related 🙈

Gem176 · 17/01/2021 21:29

@Kirky658 if @Minster2012 is right then we really are buddies ❤️ and I don't believe minster is ever wrong, she's like the oracle on here.

@paintfairy absolutely no chance of her keeping it quiet so I'll save her having to even try 😂

Nats7504 · 17/01/2021 21:30

You’re a good hunch of ladies. Talk for Britain but so supportive of each other. In this weird world we live in now it’s lovely to see ❤️

Sausage1990 · 17/01/2021 21:42

Hey girls 👋🏻 just taking my seat...

To summarise - Cycle no.1 ttc baby #1 after a MMC in October 2020 (took 8 months last time)...

@minster2012 thanks for the new bus! Hope okay. 💕

@Juno231 ahh shit im sorry for af... I was so hopeful for you. Lots of love. Xx

Sausage1990 · 17/01/2021 21:44

I should probably say its Cycle 1 again lol because I feel like this is a new chaot9of trying having got pregnant last time but miscarried... So I'm not a newbie ttc-er but just starting again - Hope that makes sense? 😂🙈

blodyn91 · 17/01/2021 21:53

@Kirky658 for him to say that,makes me think he has experienced it himself and wasn't really thinking how it would affect you?
My MIL kept saying similar negative crap at the beginning, like we bought a babygrow before 12 week scan and she was not happy, saying its bad luck and stuff.

@Minster2012 no no new job yet 😓 still here!! Waiting for a move in date now 🤞 next two weeks, handing contract in tomorrow 🥳🥳

Franklydear · 17/01/2021 21:59

Since we are recapping... Crazy 43 yo, 1 D's, 10, trying for number 2 for 14 months, one loss in November, losing the hope but held by these lovely ladies,
