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

@Kirky658 I've been tricked before though and I was so sure I was out this morning so not getting my hopes up!

@Gem176 hahaha I'm the same!x

Taking my seat beside @Dollybird89 checking out the fab views, bit chilly so have brought us a bottle of wine to keep us warm 😉

@kirky658, ignore his reaction and focus on the happy tears from MIL

Hope you get answers at your scan tomorrow @blackcurrantqueen, thinking of you.

@Nats7504 don't feel like you can't comment individually for being a newbie, we don't bite .......well not strangers, behind closed doors for some may be a different matter 😂

Still no bleeding yet but the nausea has gone and boobs only tender not mega sore so looks like the pregnancy hormones are on the way out my system. Bet I come on tomorrow midway thru teaching a live lesson full blown eye watering cramps trying to keep on the happy clappy children's TV presenter style face to keep the lesson going and pretend I don't feel like I'm dying.......maybe I should just have a glass of straight vodka on my table just incase, can pretend it's water 😂

@Minster2012 thrillers for us! All the purge films 🙈😅 ooh good choices there, both epic classics!! We've managed to "pimp" our fire stick so we have basically everything at our disposal now. I'll prob be incognito more often now 🥸

Oh are we recapping for the newbies? So I'm 34(35 in March 😱) started ttc 16 months ago and found out in September that Dh who is 38 next month has male factor infertility. Low in all three areas so it's ivf for us...we have our first fertility appointment booked on the 22nd feb if it doesn't get cancelled, where we'll be signing paperwork for funding and getting a repeat SA. Really hoping to start not too long after that as could do with my baby now 🥺

My wee recap...

Been onnthw bus since the early days (can't actually remember when 🤦‍♀️) I'm now nearly 23 weeks pregnant but these girls can't get rid of me 🤣🤣

This will be my 4th baby. My others are all teenagers dd1 is 19, ds is 16 (17 in april) and dd2 is 13. I'm expecting a wee boy 💙 (btw ladies he has a name and everything now ) and I'm absolutely sh*ing myself now about having another 🤣🤣

Had lots of ups and downs with these ladies but couldn't ask for a better bunch ❤ xx

@vil10 the bloating and general crampy feeling I had up until Thursday had me convinced af was about to rear her ugly head. She was meant to arrive Thursday and I'm very regular. So by Thursday night I just wanted to know she was on her way so I could crack the vino on Friday. Had a frer so thought might as well just know that I'm going to be a day or so late rather than get my hopes up to be crushed when she finally does arrive. The second line was a shock tbh. Can you tell I'm very much in the poas-on-Wednesday club 😂 xx

Bloody hell @Vil10 if OH is commenting on your stomach bloated then you must be like @blodyn91 and have washboard stomach usually 🤪😋😘

We def only bite in the bedroom @Nats7504 feel free to say whatever (unless it's "hey I'm such and such I'm new here....it's Cycle 1 I'm finding it tough it's -2dpo...."nothing for 2 weeks...tumbleweed...then "oh yeah hi ladies here's my POAS I just RELAXED you should try it") that's been known to get a reaction from me hasn't it ladies 🤨😋and no I'm not the oracle @Gem176 not at all, especially not when drunk & @Katao talks about trainers??

OMG get you @Vil10 "I've got Mexico in June & Greece in July" no darling you are growing a BABY. Full stop. Called it. 😝😂love ya

@blodyn91 a move in date though whoop whoop! Then work on the job right! A flock of 🐑🐏too.

@Franklydear no losing hope. At all.

@DKDK123 oh my god love the straight vodka idea. Why does it even need to look like water? Cant you just use a container like a flask so no one knows what's inside anyway?? Could be soup? Isn't but who knows!

@notyetamumbuttrying we've done the fire stick pimping too but it's never in sync so basically useless. We are shit criminals 😂🤦🏼‍♀️you are clearly better!

@Dollybird89 just caught up on the last bus. Dirty Victorians is right lol, or was it horny Victorians? Either way, both right 😂
@Kirky658 oh that would annoy me too! Pretty patronising as well right. Like just say congratulations and keep quiet!
@Sausage1990 hey long time rider! Hope you're good darlin x
@DKDK123 I like the idea of neat vodka at your disposal, would defo take the edge off if af did show!!
@Catherinettc hey you! A boy, how lovely ☺️ how have your other kids taken the news? Did they know you were going for no4?

@Gem176 I love stories like this!! I'm due Friday, usually have a couple days of spotting before I start, but this morning I literally felt like af was about to start, went to the toilet to check about 3 times this morning but I was just wet, then the af type cramps went but had a pinching feeling on my left side pretty much all day, that's stopped now and I have little cramps pretty central!xx

@Minster2012 hahahaha there's definitely no abs here!! He only noticed because I changed my top whilst he was in the bedroom and I had high waisted lounge pants on and he went "bloody hell, dya need a shit" 😂😂 so romantic!! I'd happily sacrifice 2 holidays for a little baby🤞🏼 love ya!

@Catherinettc so lovely you have your name picked and everything!x

Pressed send to early but this is my recap:

23 years old, TTC baby no.1 with my OH who's 30 but this will also be his first, onto month 9, cycle 8, currently 8dpo with af due around Friday! Been on this bus since June and I couldn't think of a better group to be a part of❤️

@Minster2012 haha no way! 🙈😂 movies tend to be out of sync with the lips but the live tv works well. Need to check out more of the series to see what's that like. We got a tester last night and paid for it today so still messing around with it.
@Vil10 fingers crossed for that baby darlin!! 🤞🏾

Oh @Vil10 I have a good feeling!! 🤞🤞 I wouldbbe so over the moon for you!!

@notyetamumbuttrying yip 4. Yip I'm nuts 🤣🤣 always said only 3 and was adamant until the beginning of last year and decided one more lol. Eldest has moved to Liverpool for uni so maybe a bit of empty nest syndrome 🤔🤣

My baby will be Caolan (pronounced keelan). Loved the name for over 10 years now so seemed the obvious choice. Plus it goes well with the other kids names 🤣🤣

They are actually all really excited. Eldeat was mortified at first but she came around pretty quickly (2 of her friends pregnant too) so all good 👍

@DKDK123 YES YES to the vodka 😂

@Vil10 I'm staying quietly optimistic for you

@Kirky658 ok he sounds like a gigantic knob!!! Hopefully it was coming from the right place but how unhelpful for you!!

Thanks gals. Will of course report back as soon as humanly possible. OH a bit stroppy as will have to try and work with DD (1.5yo) have explained this is what lots of other people are having to do every day so we shall see 😂

@Catherinettc ah that's lovely! Glad they're all on board with it and the name is picked out. It's gorgeous! Bet you can't wait now ☺️
@blackcurrantqueen eek good luck to your OH, he'll manage some way or how won't he 🙈

Hello ladies, I’d like to join you if that’s ok. I live in France. Currently going through round 2 of IVF. Just had my trigger shot tonight so hve my egg collection on Tuesday early doors 🤞🏻

@Birdladybird good luck for Tuesday! How comes you you're going through ivf? I'll be going through it first time over spring most likely, so always interested to hear others going through it too x

Just a quick check in before bed!!

@Catherinettc I hope you mean eldest mortified but soon came round 😂🤣& love Caolan (despite my autocorrect wanting to correct it to colander 😂🤔) that lovely!

Hello @Birdladybird welcome and eeeekkkk so exciting and nerve wracking I know that well though my egg collections were many years ago as mine were all on ice now ❄️but I have everything crossed for a good haul for you! We've got some ladies here who are waiting on ivf so they will have everything crossed for you & hearing how it goes with interest as I'm a frozen transfer 🤞🏻so welcome lovely xx

@blackcurrantqueen he will cope, just, under suffance, tho I bet NO work done 😬🤪good luck sweet

@notyetamumbuttrying we went straight for the films not really checking out the tv! Odd isn't it!

DH snoring beside me so will say goodnight xx

@notyetamumbuttrying Thankyou!! Hopefully in the next few months anyway🤞🏼

@Catherinettc aw Thankyou!! Love your baby boys name, how lovely!!

@blackcurrantqueen you can be positive for me whilst I wallow in negativity😂

@Birdladybird welcome!! Good luck on Tuesday, I hope it all goes well!x

Well, OH is snoozing away besides me and I just can't sleep!!

Ah wow I'm all caught up! Man that last bus moved fast, so much going on right now
@juno231 so sorry to hear about your granny, especially when you couldn't have visited either 💛
@blackcurrantqueen I'm hoping you get some answers soon 🙏

Newbie recap: on the bus since April 2020, 5 or 6 cycles but some were longer than 45 days 😖 but I'm now 20 weeks pg with my first (scan tomorrow and team 💛!) And heavily invested in these lovely ladies journeys so I just can't leave until you all have babies xxx

Thanks for the welcome ladies. I’m rubbish at replying to individuals, I’ll try my best

@notyetamumbuttrying we have MFI low count etc. Been TTC for 4 years now. In France we get 4 rounds funded, very lucky for us x
@Minster2012 round one for us didn’t end well as nothing lasted long enough to transfer but my doctor has changed my meds and hopefully that will help! Hopefully will have something to transfer and something to freeze!

@Vil10 thank you me too.

@Catherinettc your boys name is beautiful.

@blondepotter I'm always surprised when you say how far along you are! It just doesn't seem that long since you got your bfp. Good luck tomorrow x

Welcome @Birdladybird good luck with the egg collection, hope it goes well for you.

Hi @Minster2012 I'm OK I said I wasn't going to do opks this month as it was stressing me out that nothing at all was showing up on them but I ordered some different ones n I started testing n it looks like I've got my peak earlier than my apps are suggesting so I think maybe I've been missing my peak but who knows? But these other tests are much better so fingers crossed

Hey @Birdladybird hope all goes well with the egg collection 😊

@Minster2012 doing ok thanks, early one for me today. DD3 up at 4am 🤦🏼‍♀️ she's a bit under the weather (but full of beans) and also isolating as had a positive covid case in her bubble at nursery so you know, just to make the day a little longer when I'm WFH all week with a little diva 🙈 I'm about 4/5/6 DPO - who bloody knows. How are you?
