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

@paintfairy how long has it been for you ttc again?

Eek sounds cold and snowy for you guys again! Cold here but no snow still, we never get snow 😞

@Franklydear I think it MAKES you a home goddess 😃🤩

No toddler waking me up unfortunately... but dam dog did when OH let her her our room this morning (does everyday before he goes work so she jumps in bed with me lol) and I couldn't settle after that so up showered and ready to face day.... but oh still not left yet .. sat twiddling thumbs because I wanna start cleaning up! (Don't do it over weekend to make most of OH bring at home)

Apologises for hogging space but I wanted to ask a question and not sure who else to ask.
So AF arrived Saturday really light nothing much on the pad but blood when I wiped got a bit heavier and some clots (TMI). Its now stopped completely which is unusual and I'm not sure why this would happen 🤔.

@dob78 I've had af cycles where I've had a day of no bleeding in the middle of a 7 day bleed. Tho I'm irregular tbh

@Justanothercyster over a year now.
@DOB78 I think they just like to confuse us?! 🤣 Mine does various things. I have no answers other than to say she's definitely a bitch.

Snow here. Happened yesterday pm. Glad I don't have to go anywhere early. I have a 4x4 so it's not an issue mind. 🤣 I suspect most main roads won't be awful though, they are usually good with the gritting. We don't often get much around here. Probably many other places have more! Its definitely cold out though!

@DOB78 what cd day are you? That's what happened to me in November, stopped all the sudden after the clots, how are you feeling?

-0.1 here, but no snow, surprisingly not much ice either

Snow and ice here, was woken up by OH with a decaf black coffee and my car de iced for me! It's bloody freezing!! Hope everyone has a nice day xx

-3 here this morning, had the shittest amount of snow ever and now it's just stupidly icy outside 😩
Got the carpenters starting today for a couple of weeks... v easy on the eye 😂

@DOB78 how confusing for you, I don't think it's unusual for them to differ slightly but if it's worrying you give the drs a call?

Sorry I've been quiet ladies. Had a lovely birthday weekend - I ran out of vases from all the flower deliveries! Also had parcels and food hampers show up. I felt very loved and spoilt.

Back on dry Jan now though, wine on my bday actually felt a bit disappointing - which will make my next goal of 50 dry days easier to attain (I've done 24 now).

CD9 today, had lots of EWCM yesterday which is a bit early I guess. Will start the OPKs today just in case!

@ Franklydear CD3 and I feel like shit!
I usually bleed for at least 4 days this is a first for me but I had CP in December, could it be that? Also wondering if its age related, which is a horrible thought.
I don't think I'm worried enough to speak to my Doctor but its a bit unnerving, if we weren't TTC I don't think I'd be bothered at all

@Juno231 glad you had a good birthday and definitely get the OPKs out. I got peak at CD 10 after all 😆 so you never know

Heard from my line manager at work this morning (had to actively ask) about the flexi furlough. Apparently flexi furlough for us means working as normal as the furlough can be company training... so absolutely nothing changes for our working hours yet the tax payer is paying part of our salary 🙄 not even offering us a longer lunch or extra breaks for mental health.

@DOB78 why the apology?? You've seen how much I talk, that's the point of us isn't it?! These periods are, yeah, f ing stupid. Period. I think after a CP or early MC they just do what they want too I'm afraid. It's all a mystery of the universe, that's why men couldn't cope with having them.

@paintfairy I can't even type it's so cold (I'm outside btw 😂)

@Franklydear you can have my ice?!

@Vil10 beginning to think your OH is a 😇

@blackcurrantqueen oooooo naiceeeee bit of eye candy never hurt anyone

@Juno231 yayyyyyyyyyy glad you had a lovely day & got spoilt but wine didn't taste nice?!! But I guess that's good! Has it helped weight loss btw? The no alcohol I mean. What's with this early OV January???

@2020mission ehhhhh????

@notyetamumbuttrying dinner was delicious thanks, I was in bed by 9pm tehe. Wide awake tho at 2am and 4am for at least an hour each so knackered now!

No snow here really, all villages around us got a tonne but we got sod all.

Hate working at the min, desk chair is shite and getting bad backache every day. Am 6 weeks now tho and got my scan next Thursday eeeep

@Minster2012 well not drinking I think is preventing me from putting more weight on! But I haven't been eating as well as I wanted to this month. I think so far I'm 1kg down since 1st Jan. At least it's moving in the right direction! I did a big 15k step walk on my birthday as well which helped counteract the wine a bit...

Just did an OPK and got a high reading... Better jump OH today just in case but I reckon nothing will happen for a few more days yet.

I've had a traumatic morning so far! Toaster short circuited due to a stray sultana from my hot cross bun and then the boiler gave out. Couldn't fix it, called the plumber who said that with that boiler, its age and the problem it'll probably just need to be completely replaced. Luckily I managed to fix it myself after that call but it did give me a fright! Not to mention no heating in this weather means it hasn't been a pleasant morning...

@Minster2012 just feel a bit rubbish that I eint always acknowledge other peoples news. I'm just a bit fed up at the.minute and this hasn't helped

@Juno231 glad you had a lovely birthday but sorry to hear you are having a rough morning. That sounds awful but glad you have managed to get your boiler working.

I’m not really sure what my cycle will do this month but just going with the flow. Think my body is thinking about ovulating but not sure as decided not to do any tracking.

@juno231 damnnnn that is a shitty morning, hope you're OK, well done on fixing the boiler that's very impressive!

Hi girls. I've been trying to catch up so sorry there's not alot of replying.

@Franklydear I'm glad you're feeling more yourself and putting your own wellbeing 1st. Proud of you for cutting those ties and keeping boundaries. It's not easy to do.

Today is a down day today. Just feeling really flat. Still no positive opk and no ewcm. I'm trying so hard to remain patient but on CD28 with no signs of ovulation in sight I'm feeling frustrated. Frustrated that my body hasn't settled down quickly, frustrated that I spent longer bleeding after my miscarriage than I was actually pregnant, frustrated that I'm not still pregnant. Sad that I'm not still pregnant. Sad that I should have been 28weeks today but I'm not. And although I've felt really okay about it all, today it feels hard and sad and like there's a part of my missing. Like @Franklydear said the other day, i was promised a baby. .. but now I'm back at the start again without one. It's like a huge hole in my heart that I can't fill 💔 @vil10 your post from yesterday. I needed to see that so I'm glad I didn't read it until today, it actually made me cry, especially about "your body's not useless" which hit a spot for me today because sometimes I feel like it is & I know the MMC wasn't my fault, I just wish I'd been able to keep baby safe for longer. I feel like my body's letting me down a bit by not going back to normal & it's a reminder of all the things she's not managed to do. Argh I need to stop thinking like this. Sorry girls. X

@hollieL567 sending so much love & hugs. Its really hard when someone's not being sensative to your situation. Putting pressure on yourself is so normal even if it's helpful, I'm the same. I'd love to be pregnant again by what was my due date (20th April) but in reality it makes it harder because those targets are just abstract but we cling to them. I don't have any advice just know you're not alone in this. I feel the same.
@justanothercyster your advice to Hollie resonates with me... I think that's why I'm feeling so frustrated with myself. I don't know how to not put pressure on myself. I'm guna have to work on it.

I'm sorry for the essay. I wasn't going to post about me today, I felt it was too miserable but seeing other peoples posts really helped me realise I'm not alone in this and other feel this way too. So I've posted incase it helps someone else.

💕

Also here's a photo of yesterdays snow & then today we have a blue sky day ❄️

@Juno231 ooo a hot cross bun! Sounds so good🤤🤤 sorry about your morning though!

Oops yeah sorry for starting so early on the hot cross buns but I couldn't resist. It also helps you understand how well my diet is going lol...

@Sausage1990 I just want to give you a hug reading that. It's rubbish how long it's all taken on top of the fact that you lost your baby! Totally understandable that you have down days. But hey "this too shall pass" is my go to motto and hopefully it can only get better for you xxx

@Minster2012 when is the fluffy womb scan this week?

Can't believe I'm having my fertility app in exactly one week. Can't believe I'm still here over a year later when I thought it might take MAX 6 months if I was unlucky...

Also femometer keeps congratulating me for logging 16 cycles with them and giving me discounts as a "reward". Do they not get how insensitive that is lol??
