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

[Minster2012]

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 🙌🏻🥰

Yeay for scan date @lucyrp 🥳 It probably feels like it's been forever for you with your sickness but to me it feels like that 1st trimester has flown in it genuinely only feels like a few weeks ago you got your bfp!

That sucks on the waiting front @notyetamumbuttrying, so glad your DH is on board with going private if you've got the means to do it!

@minster2012, feet up, cosy blanket on, TV remote in your hand Dr's orders! Or at least orders from lots of bossy passengers!

@thinkingandblinking woop woop go get yourself some swimmers up you!!! I don't usually get ovulation pain but tonight I was going to ask the exact same question. If I didnt know where I was in my cycle I'd swear AF was coming as I've had such AF style cramps today, mega mood swings and eating all the chocolate in sight it's proper AF symptoms but I'm just about to ovulate so no idea what that's all about it's not usual for me usually all I fell this time of the month is horniness instead I feel so crampy sex is the last thing on my mind tonight! To use the bus slogan......our bodies are fuckboys! 🤷‍♀️

@DKDK123 yep ditto, I feel like AF is about to arrive and I have a constant stitch, like I have been out running which I most certainly have not, all very unsexy...but I’m going to woman up and get on it...

@Kirky658 I don't remember it being this bad last time 🙈😂 the joys of getting older 🙄 although I finally managed to refer myself to my joint obstetric/diabetes clinic after the community midwives did NOTHING despite being told I'm a type 1 and would need referred as I'm a red pathway. Their own guidelines say immediate referral as it's a monthly clinic and they were going to leave me until AFTER my booking at 8 weeks to refer so wouldn't be seen for another month 🤬 I'd have lost out on my recommended scan at 7-9 weeks and essential early tests. Consultant over heard my conversation with a midwife in the obstetrics department when I called, butted in, got a bit angry at the community midwives, apologised and has added me on for the clinic next week so 🤞🏻 there is a space and if not he'll book a scan and bloods separately 🙌🏻 saint he is!

@Justanothercyster omg that's Martha's double 😂😂😂 do you think that's what she used as inspo for her surgeon??

@HollieL567 congratulations!! Also a bit of an anxiety riddled mess here but reminding myself daily that what will be will be and there isn't anything I can do ❤️ with your history will you be consultant led this time? It's somewhat reassuring with all the extra appointments.

@Vil10 im so sorry about the house, hopefully all isn't lost and you get it eventually 🤞🏻

@Minster2012 thanks, I was killing myself when he said that, men really are quite dim sometimes 🙈
And ouch that looks so sore 😢 feet up and look after yourself lovely!

@lucyrp scanxiety 😂😂😂 that's brilliant! Exciting though 😁

@notyetamumbuttrying those waiting times 😱

You are all talking about vitamin D but all the ones I've seen say not for pregnant women and all the pregnancy supplement with vitamin D all contain folic acid and I'm already taking a prescribed high dose 5mg folic acid and can't seem to find out if you can take too much folic acid so don't want to add more just in case 🤯

@Minster2012 oh, you cannot be left to your own devices
DH wasn't feeling well, called 111 and was sent to hospital, doing all the checks, lungs are clear, I guess that's no covid and they said they don't think is a heart attack but they are checking all the same, he's been unwell for a week, ds is not sleeping cos daddy is not home, but he's using his stim toys to try to get to sleep
I've been super hungry today and feeling pulling cramps so now I have a ton of test, DH suggested I do one, at max 3 dpo would be lucky,...
It'll be our 22 anniversary soon so I checked what the traditional present is, @Minster2012 style, damm, it's copper and I am allergic to it

@InkyPaper yeah it's shit for this particular hospital but it surely can't be like that countrywide so I wouldn't worry too much. Those stats were specific to guys and st Thomas hospital in London Bridge. Hopefully next month is bfp month 🤞🏾🤞🏾
@Vil10 he really did! 😢 yeah buzzing for private, will be much better timelines and I can finally join bk in with ttc chat! 🤗
@Juno231 oh wow! Not heard of that hospital. Are you sure you'd end up there? Won't be guys or kings?
@DKDK123 yeah defo. He's on a commission role and can get some good months sometimes and we both have savings so it's worth the money for us.
On the ov pain and AF type symptoms around that time, same for me too! I go a bit loopy, like say weird stuff and think I'm being really hilarious when I'm not, so odd 😂
@Thinkingandblinking you can do it! 💪
@Gem176 crazy right!! Ah glad you booked in at the clinic hun, good going!
@Justanothercyster just remembered that it was you who posted the dolomio lady 😆 too accurate and so funny 🤣
@Franklydear oh so sorry to hear! I hope he's ok now?! Will they run more tests?

@Juno231 is that not just for the initial stuff though? Here they refer to clinics for actual ivf and there is a choice? I think my chances of getting to Prague right now are even slimmer than the nhs being useful! 🤣 Bloody covid.

@paintfairy @notyetamumbuttrying the initial stuff would be where I've got the appointment on Monday and ivf is apparently either at St helier or Croydon - but I doubt the latter is any better 😅. Ah we'll cross that bridge when we get there, but I'm glad I looked it up first! I guess with the waiting times you described at guys I might have to just bite the bullet and go private.

@notyetamumbuttrying yes, he is still there, they are going to do a full mot, x-rays, blood test, everything, er is not busy, the rest of the hospital is,

@Franklydear hope hubby is ok.
Sending hugs xx

@Franklydear hope DH is ok abs nothing serious. Also hope ds manages to sleep, upsetting and distressing time for you both. Big virtual hug to you both ❤️

@notyetamumbuttrying only happened because oh would need time off and he needs loads of advanced warning 🙄 so called the appointment office at hospital to see if they could give me date/time instead of waiting on a letter, no appointment. Thought maybe it had all changed since last time (2013) so I did a wee google and no nothing changed, should have been referred immediately. Called the community midwives who laughed, told me I was "too organised" and should be a bit more like them "totally disorganised". Panicked for a bit after that call and got in touch with my specialist midwife from last time to ask, she's absolutely lovely and I actually can't wait to see her again, consultant over heard and got involved and thankfully it's now all sorted. Last time it worked that I had little to do with community midwives as everything was done through hospital and I really hope it's the same this time as these community midwives don't exactly fill me with confidence 🤨
I can't believe how busy your hospital is with those waiting lists! A colleague was just over 3 months from first appointment to starting her first round back in December.

@gem176 omg hun what a nightmare. I'm glad they're getting you sorted, lucky that consultant kicked the midwives up the backside sounds like?

@franklydear hope DH is OK!

@Vil10 I know right! Yes I really hope so 🤞🏼

@DKDK123 its a bit of both actually, it has flown by but also seems like ages aho I got my BFP. But I also can't believe I'm nearly 12 weeks!

@Kirky658 @Gem176 scanxiety is a real thing😅

@Franklydear hope DH is okay xxx

Morning ladies, am back & can still walk 😂🤣
Better for having had an early chilled night but wait @Franklydear a heart attack??? Eh? Is he ok?? You ok?? What? Pulling pains and testing? What? You say I can't be left alone! And allergic to copper? I don't know if we can continue to be friends, copper is my most fave thing 😬oooo awkward

@notyetamumbuttrying that's really good on the tests so you've kinda got a plan & can check Monday & see
@Juno231 you know the best thing is to wait & see

What else? Argh everyone else just keep humping & bumping along it's nearly February ppl!!

@Vil10 haha really? Dh got annoyed because it kept setting the smoke alarm off and ruined the grill pan 😬 oops.
Completely missed your message about the house, that's annoying! So bloody hard to buy, how frustrating for you. Hopefully something good will happen and you'll still get it x

@Billythecat ahh Douggie the tort is my life haha, honestly love him so much. Lovely pics x

@lucyrp yay for scan apt!

@Minster2012 @paintfairy right?! Poor Mick. And Michael is too sweet too. I really hated those Jess and Martha types growing up, so mean.
Hope you feel better soon Minster, not long x

@Juno231 hope the take away was yummy :) best thing ever.

@notyetamumbuttrying oh god that's a long time! Our clinic said 4 weeks and that they rarely go over that, even with all that's happening, but we'll wait and see 🤞🏼

@Gem176 hahahahah probably! "What would you like?" "Dolmio please"!

@Franklydear ahhh shit so sorry, I hope he'll be ok soon and that ds and you are ok too x

On the house front, down south I think we pay double and get muchhhhh less, I won't even say what we're paying for ours in the new forest 😂 all I can say is thank god for help to buy 😬

@Justanothercyster Mick is funny. I can see why not her cup of tea, but he's genuine. I can't work Michael out. Jury is still out, in that one! Whilst we are at it- I instantly think the new guy Dan is a dick. First outing and can't behave?

@Franklydear OMG. How is DH today?

@Juno231 either way it first got listed in august, so really they've struggled to sell since then

@BlondePotter I love this house but I don't think it would be our forever home, our forever home would probably be something similar just slightly bigger!! Thankyou! I keep saying if it's meant to be it'll be!x

@Gem176 Thankyou, I hope so!!x

@notyetamumbuttrying cannot wait to hear all about your journey!x

@Franklydear hope your DH is okay and well!x

@lucyrp are you going to announce your pregnancy after this scan? Or wait a bit?x

@Justanothercyster hahahaha I totally get that!! I used 2 pans because there was too much chicken and one pan cooked it right and the other cooked it differently! At least they were nice though! I really hope so, feel like I need a little bit of luck from somewhere🤞🏼 my family live down south and what they pay is also ridiculous!! I can never get over it!x

No judgment please, having a mcdonald's breakfast. Again, all the cheese is what I need! Our poor bubba 😂

@Vil10 think we're going to announce at like 13/14 weeks 🥰🥰x

Morning everyone.

@Franklydear how is Dh today? Hope all is ok.

@lucyrp hope the sickness gets better soon, I had none with my girls but had really bad with my son until 18 weeks.

@Minster2012 glad you had a good sleep and feeling ok today.

@Vil10 do what's right for you both.
We paid over the asking price for this house by £5000 as there was a lot of interest but my granny was friends with them and they gave it to us and said wouldn't take other offers if we paid £145000.
I knew they would get more than that with how much the one next door went for so we scraped the money together.
I'll not tell you what's went wrong since we moved in, but I love the house and we manage ok.
But I totally get it. Leave it a couple weeks maybe and go in with the highest you are willing and say this is your final offer. And fingers crossed.

@Juno231 how are you today?
Peak day for me thank god.
Hubby has run out of steam.
I don't think he will manage tomorrow so just need to hope. I have a feeling I will ovulate today/ tonight?
I'll attach my chart.

I'm needing advice from all you lovely lot.
We have a cocker spaniel we have had him since 8 weeks, I done everything right went to a trainer every week with him, worked my ass off training him. He is completely good aggressive cannot go near him when he is eating.
Lately it has been getting worse. He attacked my dad the other night and but him never drew blood but very scary. I have had him checked at vets and they say all ok.
He went for my daughter yesterday nothing happened she just opened the door for him.
It's getting more and more every day the growling snarling and showing teeth.
A lovely couple with no children who have had dogs for 30 years would like him they live on a big farm abs I think he would be happy there. As he is very high energy.
But my heart is torn as I love him so much he very much all for me.
I don't know what to do. I'm living on my nerves with him around the kids.
What would you do xxx

Updated chart 😂

Thanks everyone, he came back home at 2 in the morning, hasn't explain yet, he has a heart condition, nothing that ever bothered him, ds felt asleep at midnight, not too bad considering the anxiety, luckily he could identify it and use his resources to calm down, DH is still sleeping, we'll let him a few more hours
@Minster2012 I had some pulling pains and being constantly hungry, DH asked me to test, but I am only cd 17 now so can't be far off ovulation,
I am allergic to most metals, can have them around, just don't touch my skin for too long, my biggest hate, the fucking nickel button on the jeans, just on the bellybutton, skin raw bellybutton? not a good look
@Kirky658 fantastic! Are you feeling better?

@DJmum83 just my opinion, you can't have a food aggressive dog with children, they're both unpredictable, I know you love him and is really hard

@Franklydear I know your right he is 3 now and it's not getting better it's getting worse.
They want to come and get him today I'm just so sad 😢

@franklydear oh bless him, hope he is OK. Yeah I'm feeling a bit more positive now thank you and looking forward to the scan ❤️
