Heading for 💓day with fishy burps & wombs as fluffy as a 70’s bush we say UP YOURS TTC Bus 30

We’ve got the fastest TTC 🚌in the UK & we aren’t afraid of a modification or 2 as we have a bus with a beautiful panoramic roof seat where there is wine & snacks a plenty for those that need a bit of a breather from our race car but still hang on to our ride! 🌞

We are heading into February ladies & let’s be honest most of us thought we’ve have cute little babies by now, but instead we’ve got lockdown bellies, fishy burps 🐠from bloody omega 3 supplements & the BIGGEST STASH OF TTC drugs in the planet on this bus including IVF, TTC, vitamins, headaches, anti sickness for pregnancy & some other ones we won’t talk about. We also LOVE a good snack, a pet, a dildo and clit sucker but badly behaved BOSSES are NOT welcome.

So grab your crotchless panties and not much else for Valentine’s Day 💓and invite your men (or women folk) to dinner cos they are being treated like a REAL LADY. Forget January blues. February is where it’s at and we say UP YOURS TTC, we are cumming to get you 🙌🏻🥰

@Justanothercyster just seen your message!! How exciting!! I hope it all goes well for you!! Also, you're late?!?

@Juno231 ahhh I've already planned the future nursery😂

2020mission · 28/01/2021 09:45

Glad to hear some of you are having luck with the houses 😃 - there's just nothing coming up around here! I don't really want to buy one until I'm pregnant/have had a baby really anyway as if we end up childless we'd be better off staying in the city than moving to the outskirts to a big empty house 😂 it would be too sad.

@Justanothercyster ohh getting excited for you... what's the latest you've ever been?

Florence13 · 28/01/2021 09:51

@Juno231 aww I will also hope for your friend as well. How are you doing?

@Vil10 oh my goodness!! How exciting!! Hope the offer gets accepted and you can come and shout it on the tannoy in a bit then.

@2020mission completely get that hun, we have moved into a big renovation house so really hoping we start to fill it at some point. Otherwise I’ll just have to get more doggies.

Juno231 · 28/01/2021 09:54

@2020mission ha I know what you mean - my dad is already asking me when I'm setting up a nursery and I know if I continue to be childless it'll be tough always having to dodge the nursery questions. Once our loft conversion is done we'll have a 5 bed house with just us in it...

@vil10 I don't dare plan one :( Every now and then I fantasise about setting up a proper baby registry on amazon so I have all my goods picked out though!

Minster2012 · 28/01/2021 09:57

@clolo awww sorry!! We talk too much!!

@Kirky658 that's fab you take the morning slot next Thursday I'll take the afternoon then on the tannoy 🤣😂

@Vil10 & @Justanothercyster the tannoy is yours this week or maybe @bez91 or @HollieL567 sneak in just in case they are actually pregnant too!!

@Juno231 def a lot of hand smacking please and god we are all behind your friend too now!!

Kirky658 · 28/01/2021 10:08

@minster2012 haha well my scan is in the evening 5:45pm so I can sneak out of work without them knowing so perhaps evening tannoy announcement 😜📢 don't want to steal our awesome bus drivers thunder In the day!

So my colleague had apparently heard on the grapevine that we will be doing this amendments job, not our actual job, for another month but we've not officially been notified yet... Meanwhile I am spending 3 hours doing my actual job today, still from home, hosting a zoom presentation so I've got my hair done, make up and uniform on, feels bizarre! Still got pj bottoms on tho 😜

Minster2012 · 28/01/2021 10:11

Oh no @Kirky658 I was hoping when you said "this time next week" you meant in the morning! I won't be in until midday earliest but they will be calling at around 9.30 to tell us if the embryo has survived the thaw 😬
Loving the pjs work, you have to wear your uniform and everything??? So what would that amendments thing mean then?

OP posts:
Juno231 · 28/01/2021 10:22

@Florence13 meh. I'm sick of lockdown, TTC and my job. But I have many things to be grateful for so... how are you doing?

@DJmum83 just did my daily OPK and it's super faint so no luck here! Might even be another CD16 ovulation (ie monday) just like last cycle

Kirky658 · 28/01/2021 10:29

@minster2012 I'm basically amending people's holidays that were due to go because of covid now can't, its a real joy! Haha yes, as its a presentation I'm doing to customers have to be very professional 😏

Florence13 · 28/01/2021 10:41

@Juno231 oh bless you. I’m alright thanks, also have lots to be grateful for so trying to remain positive. But if someone would have told me a year ago I would still be here I would not have believed them at all. Completely underestimated the emotional journey that TTC would take me on.

DKDK123 · 28/01/2021 10:47

Aww look, I just noticed that when you log a M/C in femometer it puts a wee angel baby icon on the date 💕. I've always just logged my other CPs on the app as late periods so had never noticed it before but I thought it was a sweet touch. The only down side is it erases the predicted FW for that month so if you're not using OPKs best just to log CP as a late period so you can see when your FW is.

Dollybird89 · 28/01/2021 10:51

I got my appointment come through today.... 28th may! .. wow.. and I don know what OH was expecting as when I said he has to come too it was pure shock horror... "why me?" "Errr .... it takes 2 to make a baby.... we both need testing" ..... ....... ..... silence... i didnt think hed be that clueless.. then he seemed pretty pissed that it was pn a friday so he had to have day off work... god i cant win

Franklydear · 28/01/2021 10:55

@Dollybird89 I think all dhs are clueless, we dtd and you get pregnant, is that not it? if it was for them, this wouldn't happen ... rant over, I love him really

DKDK123 · 28/01/2021 11:08

That's great that you've got a date through @Dollybird89 even if it feels like a while away yet at least the wheels of motion have started. I think guys do get a bit freaked out once they realise the problem may lie with them I think until then in their head it's a case of well I ejaculate so there's clearly not a problem. Whereas we're like yup I know I still bleed every month but I also know there are a million and one other problems that could be wrong with me so I'm going to try everything from voodoo magic to eating assfruit juice in the hope of fixing it 😂

Dollybird89 · 28/01/2021 11:41

To those of you who have had appointment... what actually do they require from OH ... can they do sperm sample from home? His thoughts were that they were gonna tell him to try harder or he wasn't doing it right 🙄🤦‍♀️

Franklydear · 28/01/2021 11:51

@Dollybird89 i don't think they are going to examine his technique 😲😂

Tornado2Inc · 28/01/2021 11:51

@Minster2012 @Kirky658 I’m late to the party, but yay for next Thursday! Minster, hope you get your BFP by the time I ovulate! And Kirky, hope you feel better today. RHR is just a symptom of being alive.

@Juno231 Kudos to your OH for remembering your FW! I am not sure mine is even aware we are trying! I am keeping all the timing to myself so he just thinks I have a very horny week every month. To which I say “duh, us females are very cyclical creatures!” @DJmum83 If my DH ever refused free sex, my initial instinct would be to dial 111 🤣

@DKDK123 Your DH is absolutely right, this is your month. And good point on adding it to the TTC list. Plus, we also have a cat, so if it works, the guinea pigs and the cat can have a little bonding session afterwards 😂

@blackcurrantqueen Do it, get a cup! The worst thing that can happen is that you drop it in a public toilet. How bad can it be??🤣

@Thinkingandblinking Sounds like you’ve been through a lot this time. How long did it take you for no1 and no2? And welcome! New joiner myself, and these people are crazy!

@Hopeful110 Aw, my DD got hers a few weeks ago. She was quite sore the first day, but it was all good the next day, she felt quite proud of her boo-boo

@Justanothercyster @vil10 So jelly of your new houses! We just can’t get our s* together and start the upgrade process! Started looking before lockdown 1.0, then stopped, and haven’t budged since!

Juno231 · 28/01/2021 11:52

@Dollybird89 haha your OHs response is nuts - so did he assume it has to be your fault and his swimmers are beyond reproach... Hopefully they move your date forward as others cancel - bear in mind my original appointment was for 17th May but now I'm going in on Monday instead!

Dollybird89 · 28/01/2021 12:01

@franklydear I seriously think he thought that! 🤦‍♀️😳
@juno231 I'm ok with the date as it gives me time to bring my bmi down some . Plus it gives him time to adjust to the fact he's going to have to part with some of his swimmers lol . I had to stop myself from laughing when he said he wasn't gonna be happy if some jumped up toff tells him to do it better or do it more 🤣🤣🤣 he don't mind blood tests but don't really wanna do sperm test

2020mission · 28/01/2021 12:18

@Juno231 good to hear OH is keeping track by remembering the fertile week! I think my husband is doing the same but then I realise he's just jumping on me because he knows AF has gone and he hasn't had action for a week because of it 😅

Juno231 · 28/01/2021 12:21

@2020mission haha that works too! Mine explicitly said "I know it's nookie time today, I remembered" Grin

2020mission · 28/01/2021 12:25

Haha @Juno231 how much easier would it be TTC in the early days of relationships when you are both having sex much more regularly 😆 we were at least once a week until we started TTC but very much only weekends not during the week when we were working and tired! It's much easier when the most fertile days are weekends I think.

Justanothercyster · 28/01/2021 12:46

Thanks ladies.. I don't get excited about "late" as my cycles are so pcos whacky, and I've been a bit crampy on and off for days. If I'm significantly late and my temps stay this high I might start getting hopeful.

@Katao still high temps but not getting my hopes up...

@Florence13 thanks! I'm so irregular though so late sometimes doesn't mean much hahah

@DKDK123 yes because I'm irregular lol, can never tell really. I won't test as I don't think there's any point 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Franklydear ahh sometimes you just need an internet chippie 😉

@paintfairy haha I don't get excited about it as it's happened before.

@Minster2012 yes! After all these years saving we did it 😍

@Kirky658 thank you love, glad you're feeling better x

@Juno231 omg stop haha I spent most of last night planning the furniture layout 😂

@Vil10 yes! More excited about the house atm than being late as that's not unusual for me. How's your house stuff going?

@2020mission im not sure tbh as I had some cycles where I ov'd reeeeeeally late and then didn't at all!

@Dollybird89 sorry he's being difficult :( just keep ploughing on though x mine just did it at home and took it in.

@Tornado2Inc it's such a long and difficult process, good luck!

DKDK123 · 28/01/2021 12:55

Did anyone read this!? I actually have no words just fury 😡 www.emmasdiary.co.uk/lifestyle/celebrity-baby-news/january-2021/paris-hilton-has-started-ivf-in-a-bid-to-conceive-twins

blodyn91 · 28/01/2021 13:06

sorry I've missed all 14 pages 🥺
Ive caught up with @Minster2012, but any other big news Im missing?
also @Kirky658 saw you HR dilemma, mine was dropping in the first trimester and made sense because...
When you are training for a race, say a marathon, you build up your milage, and your hardest week of training is 3/4 week before the race, you then taper, during the taper you let your body recover. Assuming like me you might have had to cut down a little on training- intensity/milage. So you are basically in 'taper' at the moment. I did a few bike races in early pregnancy and its the fastest Ive ever riden! The increase in blood volume and oxygen means your heart doesn't really need to work harder at rest, and as you are very fit, its very efficient.
