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

@2020mission yeah it sounds like what @Kirky658 says a bit of part time working to top up the government scheme I guess 🤞🏻

Thank you @Clairey844 I know she means well so nod along (& ignore!)

@2020mission well I've now been on the phone for over an hour and so far I've identified that some fucker in Manchester has tried to use my Tesco debit card to buy something in Argos for £40 and get a deliveroo for £40 and then got more creative & use my Tesco credit card to order a John Lewis sofa for £900 whereas they've checked "my purchases" and they were like £38 Tesco, £52 naked wines, £15 Amazon, yes that's me 🤣😂🤦🏼‍♀️so now that's 3 cards cancelled (my normal cards), my online banking reset, my Apple Pay reset, which @lucyrp only taught me how to do in November, AND I don't even have a new fucking sofa I don't even want. And it ruined the end of MAFS and I'm still on the call

FML

I've basically been entertaining myself & DH by doing suggestive poses whilst the guy is on speaker phone 🤣😂

Not what you need on a Friday night @Minster2012 at least they are on the ball.

Ok ladies any help I always ovulate cd15/16 or 17.
I have been crampy last couple days, watery cm, and horny clearblue is flashing smiley cheap OPK is high and I wouldn't say far off peak I'm only cd 8 what is going on? Should we start BD? I don't want to start too early and then when we get to cd 14/15 etc hubby can't manage.
Has anybody ovulated a lot earlier than usual?
Thanks for your help xx

Sorry to just post and disappear on wednesday. It wasn't the plan I was just knackered. My Chinese was lush and definitely needed (I had special chow mein & was the bomb) 😊

@vil10 @Katao really sorry about af making her clear appearance. Glad you're both OK, sending love.

@birdladybird happy transfer day & sending positive thoughts and prays for a sticky beam 💕💐

@minster2012 god that's not the Friday night anyone needs 😩 I'm sending fluffy uterus positive vibes & I think the the stars are aligned for you to have a baby with your friend 🥰... Also can I join the Feb/March team?! I'd love you join all you OGs for some BFPs & be part of the gang haha. I just need my cycles to settle again.

Update from me... Nothing is happening yet. Currently cd25 and no peak opk and no ewcm. I think it's going to be a late ovulation but I'm hoping I can at least get a FW before the end of January 🤞🏻😏 aaannnd reminding myself to be patient & gentle with myself.

This evening DH & I have the cutest video call from our little niece who's 2yrs old in April... She held up her mam's phone and said our names (apparently she's been asking for us all week) so SIL called us and she chatted away in her chatty toddler way, telling us all about her cats, her baby dinosaur toy and then she tired to feed us her chips through the phone 🥰 this is probably the most boring story lol but god I miss her. God I hate lockdown. But I also have warm fuzzy feelings because she's as cute as a button with her chubby cheeks & big blue eyes 💕 pointless ramble... God I'm broody haha

@paintfairy I think I try and put as many of my purchases on my credit card as possible 🙊. Amex just chucks the credit at you though, they're so slutty with it.

@Minster2012 I'm sure this is exactly the Friday night you had envisaged 😬.

@DJmum83 any chance you got cd1 wrong? If not then I think you're just feeling oestrogen rising but that can be 5 ish days before OD. I'd DTD every other day from tomorrow rather than 5-6 times in a row like last cycle - just so OH doesn't die from exhaustion!

@Juno231 no def got cd 1 correct.
Yeah that sounds more like it, will try that. Definitely not doing the same as last month don't want us both ending up with thrush and cystitis again 😂😂
Xx

@Juno231 I've never had amex. I've got 3 others though, all with about 9k limit each. I have only used them for massive things though and then just shifted it around with balance transfers. All currently empty though. It did have the honeymoon on it but I've just paid it off. I don't think I even know any of my pin numbers. 🤣 Would be too tempting.

@Birdladybird yayyyyy EVERYTHING crossed for you!!
@Dollybird89 I'm with the girls, don't cancel the fertility appt ! Just reading further., glad he has opened up a bit more xx
@Minster2012 here's hoping for February 🤞🏼we've got this !!! I'm with you, ass juice and EPO and All!! Let's hope that lining of yours is v cushioned for baby E(mbryo) (like baby G Bling Empire style)
PS condolences for the card what wankers!
@paintfairy every single bit of me is hoping for a jan BFP for you 💕
@Justanothercyster keeping everything crossed for your miracle !!
@Vil10 @Katao I'm fucking livid for both of you guys... pissing AF, everything crossed for next time!
@bez91 potentially outting but I think my friend makes those cards !!!
@DJmum83 have a look at sperm meets egg, every other day until solid smile/ positive OPK then three in a row x

I've looked back on my cycles this eve and I seem to always have a 12 day luteal phase, is that ok?? If so AF due about 4th!
I am currently CD19, ovulation supposedly today but this is after my early MC/chemical which was on CD25. So who knows what's going on with my body. 😭🤦🏼‍♀️
Also totally fucked dry January and drank a bottle of Lanson in my new underwear that was supposed to be for V day. Oh well!! 😂

@DJmum83 I can't personally help but I think @Vil10 worked out that she ovulated earlier this time just gone, and it was likely right base the AF I think. If you get a DTD in maybe tomorrow morning? then leave a couple days maybe? See what the OPKs say? Then get more serious? Or just see how you feel? Of you are horny you might want to more than you think so go with it xx

Awwww @Sausage1990 course you can join us & I miss our nephews so much too, it must be so hard it will be you soon ❤️🙌🏻here's hoping that ovulation doesn't keep you waiting too much, the Chinese yesssss god I want a Chinese now 🤣

@Juno231 "Amex so slutty" love that. I've never had an Amex but I put most things on the credit card too, the Tesco one, to get boring Clubcard points to get money off our food bill...I'm so Middle Aged 🤪🙄but maybe it's an aphrodisiac cos we had great massage oil sex!?? Maybe Tesco credit card is a slutty card too??? What's your plans tomorrow birthday girl??? 🥳you gonna break dry January?? 🥂does DH have any lovely plans for you??

Anyways off to bed now xx

@blackcurrantqueen OMG just read your post, I think you are fab!! Sounds like a great night! If you made it to tonight on dry January that's still awesome babe 👌🏻🙌🏻and o bet you look hot 🔥

@Minster2012 have you worked out which one I am on Instagram yet? 😂

A day and a bits worth of catching up......

@notyetamumbuttrying exactly one month today until your appointment! I'm watching it on catch up so don't think I'm completely caught up, thought I was but the next episode hadn't automatically downloaded 🤷🏻‍♀️ I'm on the first of the dinner parties. I cannot stand Sam or Ines, is Mike the baldy that with the girl with the curly blonde hair? I've got a bit of a thing for him!

@Vil10 on the subject of fancy undies I'm almost certain we conceived after the crotchless knickers came out for the OHs birthday (well few days after as I wasn't speaking to him on his birthday 😂)

So sorry the bitch got you both @Vil10 @Katao

@Skip86 enjoy the champers and there is nothing quite like a wee bit of financial security when you feel less than secure in other aspects of life.

@Birdladybird that's fantastic, have everything crossed for a sticky bean!

@Minster2012 i think you are well overdue a bit of celestial good luck so 🤞🏻. I'm also visualising the fluffiest, floofiest womb lining for you.... fluffier than a 70s bush!

@Sausage1990 your niece sounds absolutely adorable 😍

Shite day, first I was sent a text by track and trace by mistake... I assumed the name was the track and trace staff member not that of the person the text was meant for, went into full panic mode! My dad called to say my uncle died overnight and the cherry on top I was prescribed some lovely (🤢) laxatives as the pregnancy constipation is hitting hard and I'm guessing early since I don't remember it being this bad til a lot further on last time 🤷🏻‍♀️ can't sleep so catching up on mafs and drinking tea while trying to tell myself that a banana is just as good as a chocolate biscuit (it's not and I just want a mint club or 7 😭)

@gem176 LMAO fluffier than a 70's Bush 🤣🤣🤣 that's excellent! @minster2012 definitely needs to go in the list for future bus titles. I am very biased but yes she is adorable 🥰

@blackcurrantqueen i agree with Minster that getting this far into dry January is great! But when it's time to break the fast then it's time lol enjoy it 🥂

@gem176 also sorry to hear you've had a shit day... And that you're struggling to shit 😂🙈 get on those stool softeners girl - plus plenty of soluble fibre (oats, soft fruits, root veg & golden linseed) and plenty of fluids to help keep everything moving 💩

@Dollybird89 sorry but that's total bullshit of your OH. I really feel for you, what a difficult situation to find yourself in. I imagine he's just feeling quite pressured and panicked and may well need a good, sensible talking to.
Not sure if you were on the bus then, but my OH announced no more ttc a few months ago and it devastated me (and I went nun on him for a while because fckd if I was going back on contraception), but I already have two kids and no fertility issues so I can only imagine how you must feel. Huge hugs xx
Oh just saw your update!! 🙈 sorry. Great news :)

@Juno231 rage away babe. And feel free to send some in the direction of my OH.

@Minster2012 aaaaah 💗💗 that's completely and utterly fantastic for your friend. Yes, I quite legitimately want your stars to align more than anything I even want for myself.
Also if I were you I'd be chilling after transfer so much to the point I'd leave home and Netflix in a hotel for 4 days. You should do that.

@Justanothercyster oh that's good you have appointments and a plan 🙌🏼 but yes I'm gunning for that miracle for you.

@DJmum83 I've been regular as clockwork ov on day 14/15 for as long as I've known the signs, but since MC in sept I've randomly ov'd sometimes as early as day 10/11! Just dtd every other day to be sure?

Aw @Sausage1990 that's adorable 🥰 I have a six month old nephew (my brother's) and another on the way in March (my sister's) who I've only met so far through video call. Also not seen my now 3yo nephew for 2 years 😭 Covid is a fucker.

@Gem176 so sorry to hear about your uncle (and the poo blockage too, 100% get on the stool softeners early) xx

Thanks to all who asked after me and situation with OH. We are doing... ok I guess. Had our first couple counselling session on Wednesday and it was so intense I just couldn't quite find it in me to talk about it straight away. I actually thought it was really productive and felt I was finally being heard for the first time in a long time, but got home and OH was raging because apparently he felt 'horrifically embarrassed, uncomfortable and like he was just being insulted' by the psychologist. Like wtf?? No, he wasn't. I think just an extreme reaction to for once actually being questioned and challenged on his thoughts and not being able to stonewall or up and leave the room like he usually does in conversations with me!!!!

He's calmed down a lot now and we're just playing happy families for a while. Will wait and see I suppose 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ next session is next week.

Love to all 🍉🍒

Morning, ladies
Oh @Minster2012 that's so infuriating, but need to get sorted.
I also have nueces and nephews I haven't seen in a year, including a cute 3 yo niece.
@Skip86 glad the counseling is helping, and maybe he'll learn to communicate better,
I think everyone has a wobble when planning a baby, and somewhere through the pregnancy, the what have I done though, there's never a right time, and there always be worries ....
@Gem176 take the softener, even if is only to avoid problems further along and listen to @Sausage1990, so nice to have our own dietitian 😁

@2020mission I'm currently doing a diploma in management and my tutor is currently on flexi furlough so she only works Monday - Wednesday and then is furloughed the other 2 days of the week. Slightly annoying when I need to get hold of her for marking but 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 my OH had to work during furlough too (also very dodgy) and then got a bonus after (even dodgier)😳

@Minster2012 im always here somewhere trying to frantically read everything 🤣🙈

So my day yesterday started off with a terrible morning I think from getting up too quickly and low blood pressure which wasn't ideal as I needed to leave for the orthodontist but luckily my friend was driving me. Has loads of diversions on the way and was a bit late but finally got in. Was supposed to have my braces off and I don't think she was keen to take them off until I said I was pregnant and she said "oh well we better take them off now then!" Which I was relieved at after 4 and a half years of wearing them. Then she had to do impressions for my retainers and that was AWFUL! I've had them before but when you're pregnant its even worse 🤣 I was gagging the whole time and she was holding it in my mouth and was like just keep breathing through your nose were nearly done 🤢 got to go back next week for top and bottom retainers which I'm not keen for as can imagine I'm going to gag all the time🙄 I'm not overly pleased with how my teeth look at the moment either but think I just need to get used to them. Hope you're all ok!

@gem176 sorry to hear hun, orange juice and lots of it works for me normally. I've had to not eat as many apples as they are giving me wind!! Other than that I am just tired of falling asleep at 8pm and being wide awake mid of the night.. Also RHR dipped very slightly trying to be a good girl and ignore

Snowing again here, DH snoring away next to me

@DJmum83 that happened to me this month, I ovulated on CD12 which is early for me and was getting high readings on a clearblue from CD8. Bit of a messed up cycle as first proper one since my MMC so I'd say get on it every other day? 🍆

Have a good weekend all, mine will consist of actually leaving the house as DD has finished her period of self isolating 🥳 never been so excited for a walk 🙄 and a bit of decorating to hurry up this TWW!

@Gem176 I also am very constipated too but haven't asked for anything for it yet. Got lots of prunes in my cupboard tho😂 I have so much gas too.

@Kirky658 how many weeks are you now ?

Morning!!

Wow!! Lots already!

@blackcurrantqueen I think I have, your gorgeous DD too but I don't want to out ppl that don't want to be outed so I keep quiet 😚

@Gem176 god that sounds shit, BUT, new bus title noted, and hope those laxatives are SLIDING down and out nicely! I flick between not liking Mike the badly and liking him, I also think Heidi is nuts.

@Skip86 ahhhh if only hotels were open after transfer that would be bliss, I'm imaging me & the cockapoo dog just stealing away & curling up with him snuggling on my tummy to keep the bean warm so it can snuggle in??? 😍but none possible, it will be trying to avoid toddlebeast & both dogs & trying to force DH to do stuff 😝. God your DH infuriating. Let's hope he's got that out of his system & it's better next time. Why are men so immature sometimes?? Tho tbh when I had counselling after my surgeries I just felt I was complaining & it was just upsetting me not actually doing any good but I wasn't meant to be talking thru with another party like you, IYSWIM!

@lucyrp did they clean your teeth?? How do they look? Are you pleased? I hate going to the dentist I can only imagine it being so much worse feeling sick

@Juno231 HAPPY BIRTHDAY GORGEOUS 🥂🥳🎂🧁🎉🎈hope DH has pulled out all the lockdown stops for you xxxxx

@bez91 yayyyyyy for leaving the house!!! How was your isolation?? Did you climb the walls or was it ok? You in TWW now?

@Kirky658 more snow??? We have lots of ice here, freezing, I think we'll be staying inside brrrrr and DH cooking tonight yum

@Minster2012 yeah she drilled off the "cement" type stuff that held the brackets on with and my teeth felt all clean and shiny afterwards. Need to get myself a teeth whitening tooth paste now and tempted to get a UV kit to do at home as they're hydrogen peroxide free so can use when pregnant safely. They look okay, I think I want her to file my two front teeth down a bit as they're a bit of an uneven shape at the front but other than that I think they're the best they're going to get at the moment! Il probably end up doing Invisalign later on in life anyway. It was gross 🤢

@Sausage1990 professional gat, please, ds is 10 and autistic, he has had some tummy ache, so the doctors got hang up on him being constipated, so gave us laxatives, cosmocol, he goes every 2-3days, the laxatives only make a difference if he takes two satches every day, then he goes nearly every day but so loose that he nearly soiled himself a couple of times, I haven't given him any for over a week, and he still goes the same and doesn't complain of pain, even if asked, shall I leave it?

@Minster2012 yes treat them all like ladies this year, that'll be so funny if we all did it 😆 and on the ivf front I don't reckon we'll realistically start until April. It was wishful thinking that it would be March but we'll see!
@Justanothercyster lol to the deposit free mortgage 😂 I'm only just catching up this morning and he's still asleep so when he wakes I'll ask him what he thinks 😉
Glad things are moving for you hun! I reckon we'll start ivf at the same time!
@Juno231 oh god those double letters! So glad you've still got an appointment tho, phew!!
@2020mission just saw your msg about male supplements. We were told proxceed plus by Dh's urologist and also other women whose husbands have had low morphology. Impryls meant to be good like @Justanothercyster said. Both are expensive!
@bez91 ha love that card! From thortful right?
@Vil10 nothing last night and I feel sick today 😩 my stomach keeps turning but we're gonna have to do it today as I'll ov tomorrow and I'd like to not miss an opportunity even tho it's such a small chance for us naturally. Plus his swimmers have been backed up for nearly two weeks now 🙈😣 bloody pointless 😂
@Birdladybird yes to embryo on board toot toot 📯
@Gem176 yes I realised that yesterday too 🙌🏾 🥳 yeah that's right! Mikes too much of a creep for me, you'll see what I mean as you watch more. He's quite good looking tho yeah, esp for 44! He looks amazing! Weird he's never been in love at that age tho. Gosh I'm so sorry to hear about your uncle, defo a shit day babe! I hope you're ok xx
@Skip86 I'm glad you've started the couples sessions now, I'm sure it'll really help in the long run x

I don't think I've read everyone's msgs still but thought I'd do a catch up as best I can from where I dropped off yesterday. Will do better today ♥️
