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

@Skip86 how are you doing? Hope things are getting better between you and OH

@Vil10 I think I’ve done a Brooke Davis a few too many times 😂 but I’m definitely with you on already planning my valentines outfit. Mine includes crotch less panties.

Justanothercyster · 22/01/2021 12:13

I'm so tired today 🥱 TGIF!

@Leah2501 congrats 🎉 very lucky.

@Vil10 nope, no fish at all 😖 I don't mind making something for him though, I'll have a veggie version. Pudding is what I'm about 😂 I'm thinking grilled asparagus salad for starters, steak for him/ veggie for me for main, and melt in the middle choc fondants for pud.

@paintfairy yep, card is standard. Flowers if I'm lucky haha. I sometimes make up a hamper for dh.

@Birdladybird good luck! Let us know how it goes x

@Franklydear you could roast it all and whiz it up for a nice soup? Or make a pizza with pitta/ wraps?

notyetamumbuttrying · 22/01/2021 12:22

@Leah2501 congratulations 🥳 all about the dtd!
@Katao you're excused! It is bloody draining!!
@Vil10 ooh yes, good idea! Thanks mate 👍🏾
@amy2503 sorry Amy but house stuff is exciting! When next week are you due to hear?
@Birdladybird ahh I hope all goes ok?! X

My Dh is a mortgage advisor btw so do let me know if anyone wants a DM of his details. He'd be happy to offer free advice!

@Justanothercyster I feel you, I'm knackered too! Happy Friday to you x

paintfairy · 22/01/2021 12:25

@Birdladybird I hope today goes well for you! Good luck.

13dpo for me today. I do seem to have less spotting than normal. Wondering if it's linked to the painful boobs in some way? They are itchy too and it's annoying me. Or maybe there is just no pattern. I'm going to stick with the seven seas next month if I can get more, and see if my symptoms are the same again. Could be those making things different I guess? Who even has AF due at the weekend? Gah. Rubbish. 🤣

Franklydear · 22/01/2021 12:25

@Justanothercyster I like your soup idea, thank you, that’s lunch sorted
@notyetamumbuttrying maybe some of us can send some business his way, fantastic, not right time for me right now

Birdladybird · 22/01/2021 13:13

Quick update whilst I wait FOR MY TRANSFER Grin one good quality transferring now, one good quality frozen and one other that they want to take to 6 days. I’m so blooming happy right now!

Minster2012 · 22/01/2021 13:22

@Birdladybird that's fantastic!!! Get that embryo on board and take it easy!! And btw it's such an easy process it feels such an anti climax 🤣🤞🏻for a sticky bean

Right off to catch up back in a mo 👀👀👀

Vil10 · 22/01/2021 13:35

@Florence13 okay that's it, I'm finding me a Brooke davis bow😂 love a crotch less pair, don't they make you feel free😂

@Justanothercyster ooo I love fish!! Those desserts sound lovely!! I'm also a pudding person, and love anything chocolate so I'm with you on that one!!

@notyetamumbuttrying no problem!xx

@Birdladybird amazing news!! So happy for you! I'll keep everything crossed that it's a sticky one🤞🏼

Franklydear · 22/01/2021 13:46

@Birdladybird fantastic news! Now to wait again...

notyetamumbuttrying · 22/01/2021 13:50

@paintfairy ooh here's hoping she's a no show and you can test!!
@Franklydear no worries hun
@Birdladybird how wonderful! You must be so excited now 😃
@Vil10 flashing smileys have started on the CB, don't know why I even bother doing them anymore but still nice to confirm it!

Minster2012 · 22/01/2021 13:52

Right catching up Allllll the way from this morning...

@notyetamumbuttrying I LOVE your idea for treating OH like a lady for Valentine's Day!

Oh no @Katao get that wine & gin & choc out darling I'm so sorry and yeah a draining one and take the time you need, we'll be here for you 😘

@Justanothercyster steak n BJ always a winner! Though not fancy! Send a picture of an invite maybe! I might do that, last year we got a HUGE tomahawk steak, and then realised we had to cook it more as I was meant to eat like pregnant, it will be sane again this year so I'm not doing steak as I like them mooing!

@paintfairy did you talk more to DH? You have painful boobs and spotting, what? Urgh. Bath wine & choc? Or that's just my plans 🙌🏻

@Franklydear a couple of times in FW you can do, you loved the shagging last time! Get that dick

@Skip86 you should soooo be drinking champers in your helicopter right now girl 🤣

Boom I'm done

In other news my friend from MN years ago (on ivf threads, we have sons similar age) who was doing a live POAS with me a couple of weeks ago is properly pregnant! She was about to do ivf again, it's amazing, only one tube after an ectopic that nearly killed her years ago so did ivf & I sent her my remaining packets of clear blue OV sticks & after a CP it's bloody worked 🙌🏻6 weeks few days and seen heartbeat...now I just need to get preg so we have babies same age again
Can the worlds align??

Florence13 · 22/01/2021 14:01

@Birdladybird yay amazing news! Super happy for you.

@Vil10 yes definitely! And you really should go the whole Brooke Davis!! Haha

@Minster2012 aww keeping everything crossed for you so you can be pregnant with your friend.

Franklydear · 22/01/2021 14:09

@Minster2012 the universe has align indeed, this has to be it,

Minster2012 · 22/01/2021 14:30

Bloody hope so @Franklydear
else it really will be bus driver wanted i'm afraid ladies as no other options for the foreseeable 😭you'd have to rely on the blog to check I'm still alive

OP posts:
notyetamumbuttrying · 22/01/2021 14:45

@Minster2012 glad you like my idea 😁
oh I really hope the worlds can align! Congratulations to your friend, that is so wonderful!! X

Dollybird89 · 22/01/2021 14:51

@minster2012 I'm keeping all my 🤞🤞for you xx
@paintfairy how long will you wait before testing if af is a no show?

Looks like I'm permanently on the roof of the bus for a while OH came back from work today and still got the mindframe that kids are out the window for this year maybe next?!? Wtaf? Am I being unreasonable to think it's wrong to wait until we are financially stable? He's self employed so that's never a guarantee? He really wants kids but at what cost? I feel like a ticking time bomb I'm 31 and feel like my time is running out plus the fact It might take god knows how long. I dunno if he wants me to cancel fertility clinic appointment or not...
Screw Valentine's day.. I'm gonna be a nun and no sex until I know where I stand I think

BlondePotter · 22/01/2021 14:59

@birdladybird eeeek how exciting! Really hoping it sticks for you, I'm sure you'll be eating all the pineapple core etc 😆 but just a heads up from last year that you also need Oreo chocolate to help 😋

@Kirky658 I hope not 😆 I haven't even considered changing any of that stuff. Think the only actual thing is not to use retinol products because of the vitamin a.

@Minster2012 the world's would definitely align! Here's hoping 🙏🙏

paintfairy · 22/01/2021 15:02

@Birdladybird fantastic news!
@Dollybird89 I dunno, my DH is a bit that way. Thinks everything should be right but doesn't even know what right is. 🤣 He kept saying more settled (I saw his point but age was never on our side). However, I know that no way would he be willing if he thought we weren't financially secure. (Nothing is ever a given anyway). I think if the recent bill is the issue - things like that annoy me. Shit happens and what if you were already pregnant? You just deal with it. However, is it that the bill has just made him realise you probably weren't in the right place anyway? I don't know? Mine tends to panic, but then gets over it. Thankfully. 31 isn't horrendous and I think waiting a year wouldn't be the end of the world. However, I'd be reluctant to leave it much longer in case it doesn't go smoothly. I'm guessing it wasn't if you already have a clinic appointment? But since nhs is slow, I don't think I'd be wanting to halt it, if you've got that far?

AF I think due Sunday. Monday is possible. I very much doubt it'll go beyond that for me to need to test. 🤣

Kirky658 · 22/01/2021 15:04

@blondepotter I'm just being a tad neurotic it would appear as all of my friends who have kids never gave it a second thought 🤣

Omg I am exhausted today. After my nocturnal musings last night I could sleep for a week it feels like!!! Nausea has been quite bad today too 😕

Minster2012 · 22/01/2021 15:06

@Dollybird89 def don't cancel the fertility appointment, you've been there for a reason. You could be preg by then anyway?! And yes if he's self employed you may never be financially stable & hell there is NEVER a good time for a baby and with your odd cycles you are never quite sure when the right time is so is he thinking to just not DTD? Nahhhhh just don't stress, the world will align for us both and why not focus on being that healthier you? You seem to be doing great on that. That might make a baby happen anyway? He'll find you attractive as fuck and boom 🥰😘 universe aligns right hun!

@notyetamumbuttrying we should alllllll treat our men like lady's for Valentine's Day this year. Send out the same invites?!!!

@Florence13 it's ok, we'll all be preg right?? @Franklydear you with me?! @Vil10 this was a practice month, feb it's ours, @Juno231 @2020mission @blackcurrantqueen
@Katao you in??

We said it right....then @clolo @notyetamumbuttrying @Justanothercyster March right?? If not before but just in case 😘🥰

@paintfairy there's still jan hope for you 🤞🏻

OP posts:
Juno231 · 22/01/2021 15:15

@Dollybird89 unless he can tell you exactly what financially stable means, how much that is and how he's planning on getting there this is completely unreasonable. He could be delaying indefinitely and potentially for no reason. I mean even if you were to get pregnant this cycle you'd still have until the end of the year to save up, he gets that right?! And if you aren't working atm it's not like he's even worried about losing half your household income when you go on mat leave - you're essentially already on that budget! Nah, keep your appointment and I BET you he'd never actually make the effort to use contraception anyway....

Sorry, am definitely in a rage against OH kinda mood.

Juno231 · 22/01/2021 15:16

@paintfairy I have everything crossed for you, I'd legit cry if you got pregnant

Minster2012 · 22/01/2021 15:17

@Dollybird89, @Juno231 nailed it 👌🏻
