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 🙌🏻🥰

And if you see mention of my blog then blame these guys they made me do it...#shamelessplug

@larrythelizard you've fitted in so well already 😁🤣

LB20xx · 29/01/2021 16:22

@Juno231 I wear contacts daily and my OH is still fascinated by the fact I put in and remove them so effortlessly 😳 I will say though when I first got contacts, I did have to temporarily reduce my nail length until I was used to them and then work my way back up 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

@BlondePotter we really do cover all aspects here don't we!! 😂

Minster2012 · 29/01/2021 16:24

@Tornado2Inc absolu-bloody utely that's why we are here & we love a bit of TMI here 😂🤣you see why we cling together?!

Scallops great choice! Mmmmmm

@Tornado2Inc @Minster2012 totally LOL'ed at the meat falling out as well!

@LB20xx haha I love the dedication that has to go into this!

DOB78 · 29/01/2021 17:30

Hi ladies sorry for being crap at keeping up with the bus and only popping in for a rant ot advice but I'm at it again.
Does anyone here use OPKs? I've just ordered some but I wanted to ask if anyone finds them helpful or had any success using them. Thanks 😊

Franklydear · 29/01/2021 17:40

Hello, ladies, we might one day find something that is tmi, but we haven't yet

I feel weird, not bad, just weird but I don't know why, I've been unaware of bossboy's shenanigans but he did come at one point spatting like he had been poisoned, as I didn't asked, he had to volunteer that he's been drinking tea,he doesn't like it, apparently X is trying to make him drink tea, and his friends drink tea and he gave up as all I said was if you don't like tea, don't drink it, like you do to a child.

Franklydear · 29/01/2021 17:42

@DOB78 DH asked how we can pinpoint ovulation, so I explained rafly about opks, and he said sounds stressful, which I think for me it will be, and I am pretty regular anyway, so I know ovulation will be between cd 11-14, so not a lot to cover

Franklydear · 29/01/2021 17:47

Love it, couldn't resist

Kirky658 · 29/01/2021 17:48

@franklydear that's so nice that DH is taking an interest!

I have had a happy day, lots and lots of cheese things which is what I'm craving, cheese on toast for lunch and wotsits now, homemade burgers for dinner. Nom Nom

Sausage1990 · 29/01/2021 17:58

@Billythecat ohhh cool I like the Gower - we have good family friends who live there. I'm originally Caerphilly but now in Merthyr so a valleys girl (although i don't sound it). @lucyrp & @blodyn91are welshies too!

@Tornado2Inc i thought you meant a massive blob of EWCM too, thought i wasnt alone... I had that on wednesday, like loads in a big blob, super stretchy that I could stretch across my whole hand (i know gross but i had to try it & i was like woah). I got all excited thinking yay I'm coming to FW but no ewcm since and negative opks the whole time before & since. DTD just in case but gutted. Curently CD32 and not a whisper of a positive opk :(

@DOB78 I personally find them helpful to pinpoint where i am in my cycle however depending on my headpsace they can be a bit stressful. I use them just to confirm im on the right track because my periods can vary in length between 34-40days... historically I've always had pretty text book CM changes like ewcm around ovulation & i get ovulation cramps. so for me when that lines up with a peak OPK I'm happy & it gives me reassurance. Although everyone is different with what suits them.

In other news - remember i mentioned the new paper about baby aspirin & helping to prevent miscarrige? Well ive been looking and I cant get access to the actual article unless i pay for it (which i dont want to do) BUT I found the offical abstract for it and attached a link if you want to read it.

www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/m20-0469

To summarise the results suggest that preconception use of )low dose asprin (baby asprin) at least 4 days per week may improve reproductive outcomes for women who have had 1 or 2 pregnancy losses. The study did not look at the outcomes for ladies who have not need pregnant or not had any losses.

I thought it was interesting so I will be speaking to my GP in due course with this abstrct and asking if its safe for me to try this. Touts i would share as possibly food for thought for those of you who've expereinced 1 or 2 losses Flowers

DJmum83 · 29/01/2021 18:12

Hi everyone.
Sorry not been on much working extra shifts because most of the ones we have working for us are Lazy shits.
Sorry just fed up of having to cover other rooked shifts.

How's everyone doing?
Where is everybody at in their cycle haven't had a chance to catch up.

@Minster2012 love your rings.

So still not got a peak. clearblue still on high.
@Juno231 can we have a rest night tonight do you think and go tomorrow and Sunday? No EWCM which is unusual as I usually have by now but very watery sorry for TMI.
I'll attach my chart but nothing much to show.

Have a great weekend everyone xxx

@blodyn91 your room looks like our flat! Exciting thinking about moves, we are moving on the 18th Feb Smile

@Sausage1990 yay welshies! Caerphilly is nice Smile always used to like a drive past Merthyr when coming from my old house to relatives in the Midlands. I miss Wales so much- we haven’t been able to travel there since September and it sucks! Stupidly even miss the bilingual roadsigns- love trying to make my English DH pronounce everything Grin

lucyrp · 29/01/2021 18:20

@Kirky658 I also have anxiety and used to go to counselling and take medication for it. When I spoke to the midwife about it I felt a bit brushed under the carpet actually and she said "yeah but you're no more anxious than any other pregnant lady who's feeling anxious" and I thought umm... but thinking back I think she actually was right. On the cheese front I'm jealous, I've totally gone off cheese at the moment. Hate it 🤢🤣

@BlondePotter I'm allergic to lansinol so that's great ... not🤣 I had to use yellow paraffin when I was breast feeding last time instead

lucyrp · 29/01/2021 18:21

@Billythecat I am also a welshie as @Sausage1990 says although I'm more mid wales ☺️

Kirky658 · 29/01/2021 18:32

@lucyrp I used to have counselling too, haven't gone down the medication route yet though usually 5 or 6 sessions sorted me out and got me thinking right again. Haha cheese is my crutch at the min, it's all I fancy eating all the time, I also can't decide what I like to drink I only want water, decaff tea or hot chocolate!

DKDK123 · 29/01/2021 18:35

@Tornado2Inc as someone's who's no stranger to passing big clots I'd say the 'meaty period' is an excellent description 😂 And glad you're comfortable enough with us to jump right in with gorey details, you're on the right bus indeed!

@LB20xx wow I'm amazed I struggle to put contacts in and out without nails!

@dob78 I find them useful and just put them in the premom app which let's me see the progression till it gets to peak.

@Sausage1990 thanks for sharing the info it was something I was wondering about too and was going to ask the gp at my next appointment.

Just looked at the calendar and realised I've got another up the foof scan next Friday, let's hope I remember to remove my knickers this time 😂

DJmum83 · 29/01/2021 18:45

@DKDK123 😂😂 that made me lol the same thing happened to me once I was up on the bed and the women came to do it abs I still had my pants on 😂😂

lucyrp · 29/01/2021 18:49

@Kirky658 actually think mine was brought on by contraceptive partly! I was on medication for a number of years and went Cold turkey on it january last year then had a bit of a breakdown in July but haven't been back on the meds which is good. I can't drink water unless it has at least 6 ice cubes in it atm😂 I'm liking decaf coffee more than usual at the moment too, I don't drink caffeine anyway as it sends my anxiety through the roof 😬

LB20xx · 29/01/2021 18:50

@DKDK123 haha my mum was the same, it took her so long to get used to them without nails, and then ages once she started getting nails again 🙈

@DOB78 I've been thinking the same with OPKs, I've been looking at which ones to buy but I've no idea where to start 😳

WELL WELL WELL guess what bitch has turned up this afternoon! 57 days after her last arrival! 🙄🤯

Kirky658 · 29/01/2021 19:04

@djmum83 @dkdk123 haha I hate internals, got to have one for the scan next week, I had so many for investigations during my endo diagnosis and every single time I worry about not de floofing 🤣 also is it just me who thinks the blue sheet is a waste of bloody time?! Preserve your modesty my arse.

@lucyrp yeah I think mine started from contraceptives actually it deffo got worse while I was on the mirena coil. Yummmm icy water actually sounds amazing x

DKDK123 · 29/01/2021 19:12

@DJmum83 at least I know I'm not the only one that's done it 😂

@lb20xx I found the easy@home ones the clearest to read, I started off using one step but it wasnt always clear when there was a peak for me whereas its def clear on the easy@home ones for me. I've attached a pic to let you see.

@Kirky658 yip, your hand is up my foof that blue paper isn't doing anything for my modesty ......then again it does hide my jiggly belly so it helps in that way 😂

lucyrp · 29/01/2021 19:14

@Kirky658 I think mine was from the depo provera injection. I didn't realise until I came off it and did some research into it. It's very good🤤x

LB20xx · 29/01/2021 19:15

@Kirky658 the mirena caused HAVOC with my mental health! I was mess for the nearly 3 years I had it! I swear once it was out, I was a new person!! 🤯

@DKDK123 ahh thank you, I'll order them ones then, I was looking at them earlier ☺️

Kirky658 · 29/01/2021 19:17

@lb20xx if it was up to me I'd never have had it but had so many bad experiences with virtually every pill that was the only option to 'slow my endometriosis growth' hahahaha didn't work. X

paintfairy · 29/01/2021 19:22

God I'm behind. I'm addicted to mafs and every waking moment not with DH, I'm watching it, trying to catch up. 🤣 I'm nearly there.
@LB20xx I've no idea how you do contacts with them. I didn't think about mine until after I got nails (they weren't even mega long) for my wedding, and although I could get them in ok, getting them out was a struggle! I had to change my method.
@Billythecat @larrythelizard Welcome. But I'm disappointed by the fact you do not own lizards or cats. Or indeed are them yourself. I still haven't got past @blackcurrantqueen admitting she isn't purple, so this is just another blow...... 🤣
@Justanothercyster I'm sorry about AF turning up.
@Kirky658 we completed and exchanged on the same day too. Only, we were selling as well! (Well, it was dhs house). The most ridiculous situation ever and its put me off moving for life. With the solicitor thinking it was perfectly fine to just unpack the removal van back into the original house, if it didn't work out. Oh yeah. 🙄 DHs house was awkward to sell and already fell through once, so I told him to tell her to let it go regardless. There was then a 2 hour window where he didn't technically know if he was homeless, and be taking his stuff to storage or not. 🤣
@Franklydear I haven't had my hair cut for a year. It never grows though. I have shit hair. It is purple though, and the grey kind of looks bizarre against that.
