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 🙌🏻🥰

@Florence13 oh when did your tww start?? I missed it! We DTD this afternoon and Fri. Depending on whether the temps shoot up tomorrow or not I'll try and convince OH of another session tomorrow 🤞. How about you, did you manage OK?

Evening everyone 😊

Done nothing but clean today and I am tiiiired. Had another bout of ewcm this morning - I don't know what my body is doing, I had ewcm a week ago and thought that might be fw, but now it's turned up again sooooooo... Clearly not. Need to DTD again! I'm just tired of always being the one to initiate. Anyone else get like that? We're on month 11 of this and I feel like I'm just constantly pestering him for sex. I talk to him about it but it doesn't really change anything. Bit frustrating.

@Franklydear your poor DH! Hope he feels better soon

@Justanothercyster I totally feel your pain, my Grandma is exactly the same. Hurts each time but can't exactly explain it to her. Big hugs

@Minster2012 those brownies! 😍 Been craving something sweet for two days, I'm clearly going to have to do some baking

@notyetamumbuttrying fingers crossed the weirdness is a positive sign!

@DJmum83 big hugs lovely, sounds like you did the right thing for him and for you

@Gem176 what is your OH on?! What a horrible thing to say. As @DKDK123 said, it might be coming from a place of fear. Hopefully things will be clearer later on/once you've both had chance to cool off. Big hugs for you, hope you're OK

@notyetamumbuttrying no clue and not getting outwardly excited for you but secretly maybe getting a little bit hopeful for you!

@Minster2012 they look insane!!! And the pies oh my god. I love a pie.
Mine is an allergy baby too, we've just started reintroducing and although she seems ok her skin is definitely getting worse again! Seems too correlated to be incidental!

@DJmum83 you definitely did the right thing but I can't imagine how hard it was for you all. Sending lots of hugs and super glad he is happy!

@Gem176 he needs his head wobbling!!! Regardless of if that was anywhere near true (which is isn't!) what a pigheaded thing to say to a hormonal pregnant woman!!! You ignore him! It's totally okay for him to feel scared and apprehensive but not to say things like that!

I need to order some more OPK but I've got quite into easy@home and they were out of stock on Amazon last I checked.

@InkyPaper weirdly I've had a bit of EWCM the last two days too!! And I def ovulated last week! No clue! Bodies are weird !

Hi girls! I'm new here, and was pointed in this direction by a friend. I've been TTC for 1 year and 4 months now! I never knew how emotionally draining it was going to be going through it on my own, but reading some of the comments on here has given me hope! Hopefully this year is our year 🤗

@lucyrp I was just so breezy about it all and this time I'm convinced there is next to no chance of a healthy baby arriving in September! Head is mangled!

@DKDK123 I really don't think there is anything you could do, it's an instinct and when I say he goes mental I mean he goes mental. It's like he's associated her scent with something that just has to be killed. It's quite scary! But with adults he's an absolute dream!
He doesn't talk, and insensitive twat describes him to a tee! Booking appointment questions ask if you feel supported, I haven't answered that one yet but it's swaying massively towards NO!

@Florence13 he's not and he isn't! There have been a few things since we found out and it's like wtf is wrong with you. He was moaning about the freezer space taken up by all my tubs of leftovers.... dd takes a food flask to school so I always portion and freeze dinners.... told him he'd be glad of them when baby arrived and he has a dinner, he just looked at me in shock and said "why won't you be cooking"

@LB20xx was just worried I'm being over sensitive

@InkyPaper well I wish he'd just say that then rather than being an absolute twunt! It's not like I'm not scared or riddled with fears 😕 glad I'm not just being over sensitive!

@blackcurrantqueen his head will be more than wobbling if he keeps it up! If we weren't in a lockdown I'd have sodded off to my mums today. He can apologise because I won't have a nice word for him before then!

@JJ93 welcome and these ladies are a wonderful bunch! Fingers crossed this is your year 🤞🏻

Hi all I haven't been on for a few days so feel like I've missed loads of posts.
I'm on CD 26 I ov on day 16 but the last few days I've had quite a bit ewcm which is quite odd for me I don't normally get it at this point in my cycle. Any ideas anyone?
Af is due on Wed 3rd

@gem176 sorry but he is being an asshole there, you concentrate on yourself and staying healthy. You have enough going on than to worry about that!!! Some things are better left unsaid.

@happymrsr sorry I don't have any well intentioned thoughts but hope AF stays away! I think I read somewhere midway through the luteal phase that there's an oestrogen peak that can lead to ewcm?

@HappyMrsR was it around 8dpo you had ewcm? It's quite normal to have an oestrogen surge then and that's what produces random ewcm in the LP. So nothing to worry about!

@JJ93 welcome! Is that 16 months ttc you said? Have you done any blood tests yet? Are you trying for your first? 😁

@Gem176 just saw the post about your OH and jesus christ on a stick was that an idiotic thing to say. What the heck is wrong with him?!

@vil10 omg nearly forgot to say how unreal you look in that pic!!! No wonder you did so much shagging in the beach cabana

@Gem176 aww no, definitely wouldn't say you're being over sensitive at all lovely!

@JJ93 welcome to the crazy bus! 🚌💖

@paintfairy mine could really do with a cut but obviously with lockdown I can't go so coconut oil is my saviour for now!

@larrythelizard so many people aren't using heat on their hair whilst they aren't going out or anything, makes sense really!!

@Minster2012 glad the lamb was lovely😋 oooo Thankyou Mrs Minster!! This was when I hadn't put lockdown weight on😩

@notyetamumbuttrying oh Thankyou so much lovely, I deffo don't look like that now, too much lockdown weight and dry ends of my hair😂 I hope it's something positive especially if it's not usual for you🤞🏼

@Florence13 Thankyou!!xx

@Gem176 definitely not your hormones, if my OH said that I'd definitely one bomb the prick!! Hope you're okay hun x

@JJ93 welcome!! Is this your first child?X

@Juno231 Thankyou so much!! Hahaha it must've been the reason, I currently resemble a pale slug, definitely need to lose some lockdown fluff before warmer weather approaches x

@Juno231 aw thank you, and yes 16 months. When I was 14 I was diagnosed with PCOS, and had all the typical symptoms with that. I could go as long as a year without a period, but for the last 2 years I've had one every single month give or take a week or two. My partner has 3 children from a previous relationship so I know it's me. I had a miscarriage in November time, but they said I was only 4/5 weeks. So I'm hoping this is our year ☺️

@LB20xx thank you 💗

@Vil10 aw thank you! I miscarried in November, but hopefully will have my own bundle of joy soon! So yes it will be ☺️

Thank you all for explaining OPKs to me, I can't even remember if I used them for ttc-ing last time!!

I'm working from home so no excuse not to do middle of the day testing when it comes around.

I feel you on the libido @Sausage1990, I think that's also us. Last cycle i was very explicit with DH about when and why and he couldn't come for the first time ever so going to be less honest this cycle!

@Gem176 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨theres a few ladies with choice words for him right now. Let's hope I don't need to get the gun out, he's just lashing out with verbal poo. We will hold your hand whilst you give him a Chinese burn for being a twat. Your baby will be fine. He however will feel the after effects of that comment for a while 🤨

@Juno231 @Florence13 @DJmum83 are all Valentine's Day cycle buddies? 🙌🏻♥️💓

@blackcurrantqueen it's so frustrating isn't it?! DS actually tested ok for egg protein in his last tests just before 1st lockdown 2020 so we did the "fairy cake challenge" & got to day 2 & he had hives all over him again & was crying & scratching so it's just not worth it. He's currently got eczema around his mouth which is in the vids on Instagram but he just licks any cream off so we can't seem to shift it atm, it's only been in last month & he's drooling so maybe teething but no idea really. It's horrible now he's saying "itchy" & I don't know how to help him I feel like such a failure 😩

@InkyPaper your driver expects pics of baking thanks. And I think a lot of ppl are exactly the same in the feeling of pestering for sex, so here's a laugh for you ladies, I've been bidding about on MN today and found a thread about "am I in my TWW" and here's the post...(in pics) it made me laugh as correct me if I'm wrong but hasn't she only had sex once in fertile week?? I don't use that app but the second one is mine...and we've used condoms!! She puts later that she's so excited & has ordered FRERs. Please tell me there's justice in the world & the BFPs will ALL be on our thread???? 😆

@JJ93 a friend of a friend eh?! Welcome and do tell 👀👀👀👀only joking course very welcome here long as you can take things like the above in the joking way they are intended 😛

@HappyMrsR heyyyy!! Next week you are due?! Some ladies have said they get wetter before a BFP so could be good?!

@Vil10 I don't believe you have lockdown weight. Bet you are still smokin!

@Dollybird89 you ok hun?

Thankyou all so much for your congrats 😘💕

@Vil10 bloody hell woman how gorgeous are you!! 🤤🤤🔥🔥 Tan and figure to die for! Figure was me a few years ago until I gained weight lol🤦🏼‍♀️

@Minster2012 @lucyrp really liked the cabins too and caught up today I am soooo glad Sarah and Charlotte stayed together I looooved them!! So cute!

Early-ish night for me early start for me in the morn at work 😴😴💤 & I'm super tired!

@blackcurrantqueen haha glad it's not just me! Why are our bodies so weird??

@JJ93 welcome! 👋

@Gem176 you're definitely not being oversensitive. Big hugs lovely ❤️

@Minster2012 haha if I bake I'll definitely take a photo for you all! That's why I love this thread, I never feel alone in how I'm feeling. She's only had sex once in FW?!?! You just know she'll get a BFP and it's so unfair 😂 if there was any justice all of us would get our BFPs this cycle

@2020mission this is my bbt from my BFP. I had a few low temps, then hardly any above 36.7. As long as you get a jump that shows you are ovulating, I wouldn't be worried ☺️

I acctually ovulated 2 days before FF thinks as well. So lower temps for a while after ovulation

@gem176 with ladies who's have previous gestational diabetes (GDM) the midwives will arrange an early glucose tolerance test in the 2nd trimester but they usually come back normal (although not always), they'll repeat the test again around 28 weeks (which is the usual time frame). The reason they do it then is because of the hormones, the changes in preggo belly size & baby size in the 3rd trimester. As you gain more weight on your tummy, you become more resistant to insulin, so for some ladies the body doesn't cope as with managing the blood sugar as well and the glucose tolerance test is basically testing your body in how it copes and if it doesn't cope them you age diabetes (which usually goes away immediately after birth which is crazy).
The scans and stuff for GDM are quite similar to type 1 & 2 in my clinic because anyone with diabetes in pregnancy could need insulin not just the type 1s so it's important to keep an eye... Especially towards the end of the pregnancy because they like to keep a closer check on baby's growth. Sorry more rambling ahaha 🙈 I just find it all very fascinating - the female body is a marvel!!!

@larrythelizard ah that's not ideal that it put him under too much pressure. I'm not overly explicit but I do say it's the baby making window and tell him that in that window we have to DTD a few days in a row so he knows what to expect. We're 12 months into this journey now and I'm glad I was open at the start because I don't need to be explicit anymore. Tbh sometimes he gets in his head & things start taking a while so in those situations we tend to stick to foreplay until nearly the end and then just finish inside (god graphic sorry) and that seems to help. Not romantic at all but might be worth a try.

@InkyPaper and yes I understand the feeling of being the one to initiate all the time. I can tell DH we need to do it regularly/up our game in the FW and he agrees but I'm still there like umm are we doing this orrr?? It's exhausting at times and I don't quite know the solution... If anyone knows please share with us lol x

@minster2012 seriously if that woman gets her BFP after ONE attemp in her potential FW 🙈 jesus christ.

Welcome newbies 👋🏻

@gem176 I'm sorry your OH is being an insensitive arse & you're definitely not being oversensitive. Sending a big hug and just know we've got you girl 💕

For those like me who are or know they are going to struggle I've just bought Zoe Clarke's book called pregnancy after loss and omg it seriously looks sooo good!!
There's so much to read...I don't know if you've ever heard of her but seriously look her up anyone who has suffered loss. She's fantastic.
It's got an advent calendar in aswell which you colour each week when you have passed that week in pregnancy and even has something to read when you are waiting for a scan for that lovely scanxiety to try and calm you down.
Really hoping it helps me!

Sorry to not be able to really catch up on everything today- it’s been nice to read as I don’t feel so alone! Just feel really emotional today as I really don’t want AF to come(apparently due on Sat- this has been a weird and long cycle)! I’m on dpo8 now and feel weird in a few ways, but I really don’t want to get hopes up and then be disappointed again with AF or a BFN. My mum was also really insensitive on the phone and basically said not to TTC because COVID could cause issues. She means well, but always passes on any random health thing she has heard from someone (like with my endo which pisses me off!) and often it’s a load of rubbish. She doesn’t know that we are currently and have been TTC and will continue! I just don’t need random unhelpful info.
I’m just sad and want it so much. It feels so far away

Hope you all have a lovely week coming up! The food pics all look amazing

@skip86 how are you? Xx

@InkyPaper I was trying to work it out, i don't use whatever that app is and it only shows one "dot" near ovulation so I figured that must be sex??? I mean it only takes once but fuck me there's something wrong with the world if that's the case and we are like hellllooooooo over here!!! It's just the way she's then talking like it's a done deal I'm like ahhhhhhh thems were the days 🤣🤪😂

@HollieL567 @lucyrp I know Sarah & Charlotte sickeningly cute ♥️

Seeee @2020mission theres @blodyn91 to the rescue!

@Billythecat my parents told me we were STUPID the other week for doing IVF again, full stop. We should be happy with one miracle child. Why do we need another? Let alone in a pandemic. I should be hiding away, DH shouldn't be at work (therefore our business should stop). I cried a lot. I shouted, I've totally withdrawn from them. It's horrible doing things without their support but they are ridiculous. My MIL who knows & supports us has researched my "conditions" & told me last week what I needed to do about my steroid deficiency for the ivf (I don't, as she'd been Googling it & it's really dangerous & that was probably what caused my MMC) it didn't. They mean well but unfortunately they DON'T know best darling. Just go into "mmmhmhhhmmmmm right ok thanks for that I'll bear it in mind" and realise if she thinks that it buys you time if needed. Shit I know. But we are here & between us we have many similar thoughts feelings & experiences. That's why we cling to each other. Big hugs 😘xxx
