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 🙌🏻🥰

@Minster2012 jealous of the meat, we normally have roast dinner every weekend but haven't for 4 weeks now. OH is not best pleased 🤣🙈

2020mission · 31/01/2021 15:52

@Juno231 no I don't have premium that would be fab if I would be able to compare charts 🙌 thanks for offering! I hope you get your peak soon.

@clolo @Franklydear sorry 😆 no foot thermometers here

@Minster2012 yeah I've calmed down a bit it's just been one of those days where you start worrying about things and driving yourself mad 😅 thanks for keeping me sane.

Vil10 · 31/01/2021 16:02

@paintfairy it really works a treat for my hair!! I usually leave it in all day, I did it about 11:30 and I'll probably shower about 4:30/5, some people leave it in over night x

@Minster2012 it tasted lovely too!! Can't beat a bit of egg and avocado! We'll get there eventually🤞🏼❤️

@Florence13 it definitely will!! And until then we have this group for support!x

@larrythelizard absolutely, that's what I've been saying to myself these last few days! We'll end up exactly where we're supposed to be!

@LB20xx what @Sausage1990 said xx

@blackcurrantqueen I hope so too!! Thankyou xx

@Justanothercyster definitely, everyone deserves a good pamper sometimes! It could just he old blood that takes its time to come out?X

@DJmum83 I know it must be hard but you've definitely done the best thing both for your dog and your family! And you've deffo covered DTD x

@Minster2012 love the quickie, we had a quickie in the spare room yesterday afternoon, they are satisfying aren't they!! Also THAT MEAT😍😍 looks unreal!!

paintfairy · 31/01/2021 16:15

@Justanothercyster oh god. I don't know if i can bare any more. 🤣 I might try the first one. It depends how silly it is, I can't watch if completely crazy. Like love Island or whatever.
@DJmum83 it sounds like you are doing the right thing. If he's doing it for no reason then you can't have him around children. There is likely a problem somewhere with him though as that doesn't sound right. But it's clearly not safe to have him with your family. I'm pleased you'll be able to stay in touch though.
@Franklydear I thought @2020mission did mean a food thermometer? So if its not the turkey kind, what is it? 🤣 A foot one sounds just as sensible @clolo. Mine is just a cheapish one from ebay. Intended for bbt and no strange places. 🤣 I've only ever used it in my mouth.

Franklydear · 31/01/2021 16:26

@Minster2012 eczemas, enzimas, ? Something that comes up in the blood test, unusually high, but not in worrying territory
The 25 test is the box of internet chippies

Juno231 · 31/01/2021 16:40

@Franklydear enzymes? Whatever it is I hope your OH is okay - there's never a dull moment in your house is there!

@2020mission just dm'd you the deets!

paintfairy · 31/01/2021 16:44

@Justanothercyster what channel? I can't find it?

blackcurrantqueen · 31/01/2021 16:46

If I don't get pregnant this month I might start doing BBT too give myself something else to obsess over. But I'm up for DD often about 4 so I wonder if that would make it inaccurate.

Just made the most disastrous cinnamon buns for OH work challenge thing, had no vanilla so made salted caramel glaze... interesting 😂

Had a bit of a low couple of days. Need to get a grip I think. 😩

@Minster2012 LOVE a lamb roast. We are having sausages and mash and yorkies. Yum!

@Kirky658 the walk and the breakfast both sounded fabulous! How are you feeling today? Xx

Franklydear · 31/01/2021 16:47

@Juno231 i am not a drama queen, I promise, is just stuff happens, it's the indicator of heart problems, so needs to be seen

Haiyaa · 31/01/2021 17:03

@Justanothercyster Yes! Mine can quite often be like that. I get all excited that AF is buggering off then she’s like “Surprise bitch, I’m baaaaaaaack!” So overall can be “out of action” for anywhere between 5 and 7 days.

@LB20xx I’m going to start once daily after work in next day or two, then up the frequency once line starts to appear. Not using FMU which I learned not long ago despite using OPKs for DC1 but I’m a POAS fiend and also used the clear blue digital ones. Be prepared for OPK and smiley face pics everyone! 😂

I have a DD and have a slight inclination to try and sway towards a boy but not at all bothered overall, let’s call it an “experiment”, so am trying to keep an Eagle Eye out for that peak and not get busy too soon. Only problem is that I don’t want to miss it altogether so might hold off during early part of FW and go hard or go home 😉 for the last day/day after peak. Figure as it is my first proper month I can play around just a little bit.

@Franklydear I hope DH is on the mend? Must have been a fright for you all.

Franklydear · 31/01/2021 17:06

@Haiyaa looks like he will be fine but needs looking at, to avoid future problems, it was a fright, specially as he is allergic to doctors and rather suffer and wait than go into hospital, but luckily it looks like something that with the right management won't be a problem

DKDK123 · 31/01/2021 17:12

@Franklydear hope DH is ok and you've all managed a chill day today to make up for last night.

@DJmum83 I can completely sympathise on the dog front. We had a young cairn when I was pregnant, I thought we'd done everything right trained it thru pregnancy, used crying dolls and playing baby noises on YouTube everything we could think of to have him settled and used to the baby when it came along and all seemed to be going well. Baby came along and I could tell by his stance when I had baby in my arms standing up it wasn't safe to even introduce them lower, he had the same excitement face he has with his squeaky toys that he's about to ragdoll about. Spoke to the vet and behaviourist for advice and they said they'd never have both in the same room until Dog or baby were older, his instincts were too much to override at that age, cairns are bred to chase small rodents and to him a baby is just a small squeaky thing that he's supposed to get. We persevered for a few more weeks trying to gradually introduce them, giving him lots of 1 on 1 attention etc but nothing was working he just wanted to 'get' the baby as soon as he was brought into the room and not in friendly curious way. It was too much of a risk to have them both in the same room together, and too cruel on the dog to have him locked away in another room for most of the day away from us so we had to make the heart breaking decision to rehome him. He went to a loving home with older children and I know it was best for him too as he'd have a much better life but giving him up was the hardest decision ever I cried for days (in my sleep deprived hormonal state I'm sure I even suggested giving up the baby as the dog was my original baby 🙈). So I 100% feel for you right now as I know its the hardest decision ever as dogs become your furbabies, but you'd never forgive yourself if something happened to your child, and if the dog did become more aggressive it would need to be put down. At least it's away to a couple with experience, you know it'll be well cared for and has a good chance of a happy life. Big hugs it's not easy.

I was raging last night, despite feeling cramp and like shit I was determined to get some anyways to catch that egg, lay in bed naked ready to seduce DH and he came upstairs and didn't take me up on the offer said he was feeling too full and sick from pigging out downstairs before he came up 😡 I did try not to huff too much as theres been plenty of times not in FW where he's wanted some and I've not been up for it but still! It's maybe for the best tho, got my covid jag today and on the aftercare leaflet they give you it does say to avoid becoming pregnant for 2 months after having it 🙄

Kirky658 · 31/01/2021 17:15

@blackcurrantqueen they were both indeed lovely great way to spend a Sunday. Doggo ended up having his feet washed in the kitchen sink after a muddy walk tho haha! Feeling a lot brighter today thankyou, starting to feel excited again now. Think being away from work for the weekend has helped just to relax xx

@lucyrp @minster2012 we are finding it soooo difficult to cook now, we always used to cook with loads of wine now DH won't dream of it, he used to make this gorgeous Prawn Pasta dish with the sauce which was Tom puree and wine, omg it is to die for, he made it without the wine the other day and with tinned toms instead so it wasn't the same but still nice. Just doing our online shop now for next week, chicken Sunday roast on the cards!

Minster2012 · 31/01/2021 17:18

@lucyrp 4 weeks?!! I think I'd be divorced 🤪😋😛though you are excused if you can beat it with something better!!
Roasties on now

@blackcurrantqueen BBT to give you something extra to do, extra to obsess over 🤪 ha ha so funny & so true 😆mmmm not had sausages and mash for ages!

@2020mission that's my everyday! That's why we are here

@Franklydear no idea, enzymes probs! The cheapies will still work!

@Vil10 I LOVE eggs & avacado 🥰

@Haiyaa ahhh are you doing the sway?!

OP posts:
lucyrp · 31/01/2021 17:22

@blackcurrantqueen you could take it at 4 before you get up as long as you've had a certain amount of hours sleep before hand

@Kirky658 I'm sure you can still cook with wine when pregnant ? Because the alcohol basically evaporates away? I've got to go to the shop in the next couple of days but hate it because I'm not enjoying food at all

@Minster2012 I definitely haven't done anything better. Poor man only has a handful of cooked meals a week at the moment. Can't stand cooking 🤢😂

Minster2012 · 31/01/2021 17:25

@DJmum83 that's v annoying on the DTD front but honestly I wouldn't worry about the Covid jab and getting pregnant I wouldn't let it stop me

@Kirky658 do you not cook with wine at all now? I'm not sure I could do that, I wouldn't do the amount that's in this but certainly if most is to cook off I wouldn't be bothered!

For dessert look what got delivered the other day...frozen brownies and i got some additional extra ones for from next week which are half baked cookie & Oreo ones! They've gotta help right?! They go from the freezer into the oven nom nom nom!!

Haiyaa · 31/01/2021 17:39

@Kirky658 I think I still cooked with alcohol throughout my last pregnancy. Usually slow cooked dishes but not sure if that makes a difference?

@Minster2012 those brownies look lush! I suppose I am going to try the sway but realistically I know it’s not really up to me and I can only be bothered to do the absolute minimum 😂 so OPKs and a well timed 🍆 on the other hand, I do also like the idea of two little badass girls out to take over the world. But I’m thinking two steps ahead here, I need a BFP first!

Kirky658 · 31/01/2021 17:41

@minster2012 @lucyrp @haiyaa yeah I think slow cooked stuff is OK, mostly we do quick food like pasta sauces etc so he has put his foot down, bless him x

notyetamumbuttrying · 31/01/2021 17:41

@Minster2012 ah ok, glad you can walk ok. Just need the bruising to go down! Bet it's sore 😬 yeah it'll be good to have both running alongside to keep me occupied 😌
Wow impressive looking tea there and that dessert 🤤
@Justanothercyster yeah help to buy saved us so much! Shame we can't use it again really lol!
@Vil10 I always pictured you blonde for some reason 😂 gorge hair! 😘
Oh I'm forever restarting diets lol! Glad you're feeling better x
@Sausage1990 impressive getting up to date like that!! Yeah mad wait times eh. Fuck Covid as the saying goes! How are you?
@Franklydear glad Dh is fine. Hope the checks go ok!

So we all know that my chances of a natural conception is very low due to the male factor issue, but we still time sex just in case things have improved. I'm 7dpo and wiped brown cm today and have been getting cramping of sorts, like niggly pains. I get this about a week before AF anyway but not brown cm this early. I know ppl usually say implantation bleeding but I'm doubtful given my first sentence. Anyone know what else brown cm in luteal phase may indicate or just one of those fuck boy body things?

Justanothercyster · 31/01/2021 17:47

Ugh, weekly zoom call with fam and Nan says "well now that you're buying a house you can give me some great grandchildren". Really cuts me deep, but I know she doesn't mean to because she doesn't know :(

@Franklydear glad to hear dh is ok, bless him. Hopefully the gp's will keep an eye on it all for him.

@Vil10 I would say yes, but it's bright red when it comes again so that must be new blood right? I just hope nothing is causing a blockage, last bloody thing I need!

@paintfairy I've never watched love island, I keep meaning to try but the adverts are just toooooo annoying! And Temptation thing is on Channel 4 as well, or more 4? Whatever MAFSA is on. but starting tonight so I don't think anything will be online yet.

@Haiyaa I'm glad it's not just me! It's so annoying isn't it because you feel on edge for a solid 10 days haha. I read somewhere that sometimes your cervix can get blocked or something and then it just all builds up until eventually it pushes through 😳 I don't know if that's true though...

@Minster2012 omg stop! Those brownies and your domestic goddessness are showing me up! Where did you get them from?

Vil10 · 31/01/2021 17:57

@Minster2012 how lovely is it!! My OH says he hates avocado but he's never tried it, he always goes "I'm a man, give me steak, not green slimy shit" 🙄😂 wow brownies are my weak spot!! They look and sound amazing!!

@Justanothercyster hmm I'm not entirely sure on that one then, sorry I can't be of much help x

@notyetamumbuttrying wow really?? My hairs so so dark, doesn't look too lovely on that pic with the coconut oil in but it's almost black, I'll post a pic for you, it looks more dark on holiday which is when the pic was taken! Glad I'm not the only one! Also, brown cm? 7dpo? I know you aren't feeling hopeful but I can't help feeling excited for you, I'm not really sure what I could be x

Sausage1990 · 31/01/2021 18:09

@LB20xx I'm not an expert at when to start testing after af but it depends the length of your cycles. Some with shorter cycles may start as soon as af ends, but I have longer ones (35days as a standard) and so I don't bother until about cd14 but there is a guide somewhere on the Internet to tell you when you should start testing for you... One of the other girls shared this info. Maybe someone else will have a better idea on when to start testing?

@notyetamumbuttrying I'm doing okay thanks. Works been fairly busy but next week I've got Friday off so looking forward to a 4day week 😊 cycle wise... Currently CD34 with nothing happening really. Getting some watery cm but negative opk so not quite there yet. Going to try to DTD regularly tho just incase but I've got a feeling it's going to be a looong cycle so just keeping my seat warm at the back of the bus 🤗 i don't know of any other reason for LP spotting but I'm optimistically hoping for a miracle baby for you 💕

paintfairy · 31/01/2021 18:10

@Vil10 my hair is shit, so maybe I'll give it a go!
@Justanothercyster I've found it! Google was telling me the wrong channel. It's E4. I've set it to record. And love Island etc are just childish. MAFS is bad but the people are older. I can't relate to 'kids' on these things any more. And thats rubbish about the grandchildren. 😔
@Minster2012 erm. Brownies needed over here! Where do I obtain such a thing?
@DKDK123 Thats sad about the dog. Yeah, give away the baby. 🤣 But I definitely would have been terrified something would happen. You just don't really expect that? God knows what ours would be like.

Thinkingandblinking · 31/01/2021 18:38

@Sausage1990 ah thanks sausage for the support! Your right it’s weird, didn’t feel like it, but actually too banana and think it helped with the cramping so win win ☺️

Thinkingandblinking · 31/01/2021 18:39

*top banana 🤪
