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

@Sausage1990 sorry you're feeling low :( it's so so hard sometimes, but you just have to plough on. You will get through this dip though and come out the other end xx

Thanks @Juno231 @justanothercyster this too shall pass - you're right. Some days are harder than others. I do actually feel a bit better having gotten those thought out of my head and had a little cry too. I'm also off sick today with a humdinger migraine so it's definitely not helping me feel better. Self-care day today is needed! X

And yes @Juno231 I agree that that "reward" is quite insensitive... They should know better given its an app to help ttc 🙈

@Juno231 in the same cd11 and had high opk for 2 days now have a feeling I'm going to ovulate earlier this month.
Xx

Ahhhh @Kirky658 not sleeping is a bitch and I can imagine back ache not great either

@Juno231 any weight loss is good and 1kg is bloody good, it's still miserable lockdown January after all!! That's fab well done!! 🙌🏻though shit on the toaster /heating front and totally get you on the "6 months max thing" I think that's what most ppl think. But the fertility appointment is a positive step. 😁🥰and congratulations on "level up" on Femometer game! You'll be a pro soon 🤣mind keeps telling me my version is due to expire soon...if it thinks I'm gonna PAY for it to tell me I'm not pregnant it can do one.
Womb scan weds morning. Bricking it mate.

@DOB78 don't worry, it's the ppl who don't post at all after joining then go "oh hey ladies here's my positive POAS yeah bye" that are grating. Any contribution even if it's just a dip in and out with questions or your update is welcome!! I like to try keep the spirit of the venga bus going as much as possible with random stupidity but that's just me 😜

Just shag away @Florence13, even when tracking it seems our bodies do whatever the f they want anyhows 😆

Ohhhhhh Darling Sausage @Sausage1990 your body isn't broken, it was recovering, could still be recovering but I know your heart is yearning. I feel it too, and it's so hard having had something for that short time then lost it & thinking you could have, should have done more. But you couldn't. You were dealt a crap hand on that one cos you are strong enough to come through it, with your AMAZING DH and family by your side you can carry on. Alllllllllllll the love girl 😘💓look at those blue skys yeah, they come after grey don't forget. When do rainbows come? 🌈after a shit storm 😂

@DJmum83 ah that's funny! I wonder what's going on...

@Minster2012 woop I'll be thinking of you Wed morning.

@Sausage1990 let's hope at least the migraine is hormone induced and is a sign of ovulation coming your way xxx

@Sausage1990 I’m so sorry that your feeling this way today but it is completely understandable with everything you have been through. Just know that we are all rooting for you and here to support you the whole way through this journey. And it’s so important to vent and let out the negative sometimes. Sending big hugs your way.

@Minster2012 I can manage that haha 😂

@minster2012 such kind words 💕 you set me off again 😭 lol. My heart IS yearning, like yours. Like so many of us. But you're right... Focus on the blue skies & rainbows that come after grey skies & shit storms!!! And my oh my we've all had our fair chare of shit storms.
How are you feeling for Wednesday @minster2012? I've been sending prayers for you.

@florence13 thanks doll. I really appreciate the support - honestly don't know how I'd have got through this without you all. How are you doing? 😊

@sausage1990 I'm so sorry hun, feel free to rant away! I wish there was something I could say to make you feel better. Just know that it wasn't your fault, and your time will come when the time is right. Those views are absolutely gorgeous by the way. Xx

Hi girls, I'm working on catching up but just wanted to pop on and say hi. CD4 and trying to pick myself up and move on. Took the weekend to chill and feel a bit sorry for myself. Think I just let myself hope a bit too much this cycle. It was cycle 12 which is when I conceived with my first so had my fingers crossed history might repeat itself and I think with my fertility appointment being postponed I thought it might be one of those cute stories "my appointment was put back and then I found out I was pregnant!" Anyway no such luck so here we go again. Hope everyone is ok. I have plenty of pages to read before I am up to date!

@Sausage1990 as @Florence13 says, and you know, it's important to recognise when you are down too, I'm being super unproductive today! Just taking some time to just well, recognise I can't be arsed really 😆

@Juno231 thank you! We are hoping for that 70's bush, & we are now in the 900's for this thread so I thought the other day about @DJmum83 potentially OV'ing early like @Vil10 last time & thought OV early may make it to a bus title 🤔

@Florence13 high five for just bonking 🖐🏻

Seeeeeeee we all get like it, @Katao totally feeling it too, and again, absolutely understandable & we need to be kind to ourselves ladies.

Giving everyone a big virtual hug right now.

👐🏻👐🏻👐🏻👐🏻👐🏻👐🏻👐🏻👐🏻👐🏻👐🏻👐🏻👐🏻👐🏻👐🏻

@Kirky658 9pm is better than 8pm 🤭 oh shame you woke in the night tho, hate when that happens!
Boo to the lack of snow! I'm sure you saw all the nice pics tho 😅
Wfh is rubbish when you're not at a desk! We're on the dining room table and I put my laptop on a stack of printer paper and sit on a cushion 😂 whoop to being 6 weeks and scan date coming up, how exciting!
@Juno231 glad you had a good bday! Go you with sorting out the boiler! Plumber in the making 🔧 and yay to the one week countdown...I'm on the 4 week countdown now 😬 gosh that app is really insensitive! What a weird thing to congratulate when it's set to ttc I imagine? Switch to Flo, that's what I use.
@Sausage1990 you're never alone here. We're all here for the ups and the downs! Ppl should be able to say how they feel no matter if it's a sad or good. Hope you feel better soon! Great pics 😀
@Katao I do that too, and already have in my head that we'll miraculously conceive before our appointment and I can tell you all. It's hard not to dream and desire! Hope you're ok x

Hugs back @Minster2012 🫂 🤗

@notyetamumbuttrying haha I'm just cheap! I've been known to buy spare parts for washing machines and changing them myself instead of paying someone to come and try and fix it for me. Oh and a crack in the porcelain sink? I'll fill it, sand it and lacquer over it rather than buy a new sink...

@Minster2012 listen to own words indeed! im also being super unproductive - AGAIN. cannot motivate myself at all.

I might not have af but the dam dog has started today! Had to share pic of her in her jazzy pants 🤣🐾 been waiting over a year for her 2nd season so I can finally get her spade! Maybe it's a good luck charm ? It's the same amount of time for ttc

@notyetamumbuttrying I'm actually quite lucky as I work from home, well I'm based from home, normally anyway so have an office but just suffering with backache since I got my BFP and the office chair is no good, am sitting on the sofa now with doggo next to me

Also @minster2012 I am being majorly unproductive today, completely cba. I am tired, frustrated and annoyed and want to have a nap!

@Juno231 I'm hiring you for some jobs we need doing then lol! You travel to Greenwich for the right price right 😏
I'm struggling with motivation too, keep coming over to my phone as it's charging. I have plenty to do at work and I just can't be arsed!! 😩

@Dollybird89 aww look at the doggo! Looking super cute in her jazzy pants! Ooh I bet she knows the spaying is coming 😱
@Kirky658 ah I see! Nice to have doggo close by 🙂 this feeling we all have must be a Monday thing!!

@Katao I get it, 💕 Hope you're okay xxx
@Sausage1990 💜💜💜 for you too!!

@Dollybird89 yay for dog periods? 😂 I'm gonna think positive for us all, the dog has AF so we don't have to? 😂
@Minster2012 virtual hugs for you cos why not!

Thanks @Minster2012 aw there really does seem to be a bit of Monday blues all round today. Hugs to you too. @Sausage1990 you are so entitled to a down day, you have been handling this like a boss and CD28 is a big wait. Look at it this way though...your body has given itself that extra set up time in the fisrt phase of your cycle to prepare the nest x

@Juno231 belated happy birthday, glad you had a nice one.
@DOB78 a cp does often seem to throw things a bit, hopefully back to normal next month.
@Minster2012 eeee so close to your scan, hope the new tablet dose has done the trick this time.

@notyetamumbuttrying uh it's impossible not to hope isn't it! But then I keep thinking it happened for @Missgoldilocks, bfp just before her planned procedure. It could be us! I have another chance at least before my appointment, got rescheduled for March 🙄

@Dollybird89 love her period pants 🙂😂

Oops sorry @blackcurrantqueen missed your post, thanks pet. See I'm just back on here and feeling the love and support, you girls are the best

@Sausage1990 so sorry to hear you're feeling this way, grief is a funny thing, I find it comes in waves when a certain trigger sets it off. You're most certainly not broken and there was nothing you could have done to have kept your baby going. Have you tried using Tommy's for support?

@Juno231 glad you had a good birthday, you definitely need some D tonight with a high reading! Who cares what CD it is, you gotta go when you gotta go 🥳

So I've been asked to guest blog for a magazine, and they've suggested Lockdown date night ideas as a theme: I'm thinking cocktail classes, wine tasting, grazing platters bit would be grateful for any suggestions! I'll need to keep it clean though 🤣🤣

Loving the period pants for her @Dollybird89 gotta bring some luck!!

Ha ha we can all have an unproductive day right?! Mehhhhh tomorrow's another day & it's nearly feb ladies! January nearly done, boom!

@Sausage1990 self care indeed, so important.

@Katao I totally get that feeling of hoping the fertility apt will result in surprise pregnancy, it's just so frustrating isn't it. Hugs x

Well it seems like we're all feeling it right now! Can we all agree that ttc is not the magical journey we hoped it would be? In fact, I think it's a twatface! ( @Minster2012 your cue for the picture! ). FUCK YOU TTC. We don't need you to bring us down, we're stronger together!
