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 🙌🏻🥰

@hollieL567 ohhh I follow Zoe Clarke on Instagram and had thought a that book. At what point does it start? Is it one to buy when pregnant or is it worth getting before as in when you're ttc? Thanks for the recommendation tho, I've been really curious about it.

@billythecat oh hun sorry you're feeling down about it all. We all have those feelings and hopefully they won't linger too long for you 😟 it does feel a long way off at times, but remember that you're not alone in this and we're all here for you. But I know it's particularly hard when well meaning comments end up hurting more - @minster2012 has many wise words 💕 Remember so many babies have been born since covid entered our lives and the health services are now very used to supporting mamas in this environment. Also remember the soonest we're all having babies is October/November (for those of yet preggo or in the tww) and covid will hopefully be an even smaller part of our lives by then. Sending big hugs xx

Sausage1990 · 31/01/2021 22:36

Those of us not yet preggo*

2020mission · 31/01/2021 22:37

@blodyn91 aww thanks for sharing, that definitely helps 😃 hope you're doing well too. @Juno231 also pointed me to the FF app chart gallery comparison section so I was able to see some pregnancy charts with similar low temperatures to me 😅

DJmum83 · 31/01/2021 22:40

@Juno231 @Florence13 looks like we are cycle buddies AF should be due Valentine's Day, so we are either going to have a great day or a bloody day 😂 let's hope it's the first 🤞.

@Juno231 if my temp goes up tomorrow do you think ovulation would be today but if it stays down ovulation could be tomorrow. Should we DTD tomorrow?

@Minster2012 those brownies 😍 I love anything chocolate but I am the worst cook/ baker in the world.

@Gem176 I'm sorry he has said that to you, totally not on at all.
Hopefully it is just fear and he will apologise. Well he bloody better or @Minster2012 will be getting the gun out..

Welcome to all the newbies this is definitely the most supportive bus to be on.

@Franklydear hope hubby doing ok and you have all had a relaxing day.

Again thank you for all your kind words today.
It's been hard but Ollie will be happier I just know it.
Bloody DH has promised my oldest a kitten I actually cracked and was like you are being so insensitive nothing can replace my Ollie.
I have calmed down a bit and know he was just trying to ease her hurt.

Homeschooling again tomorrow the joys.

Xxx

paintfairy · 31/01/2021 22:41

@Gem176 OMG. Why is he saying that shit to you? Definitely give him a kick up the arse. 🤬
@Vil10my hair hasn't been cut since last January. 🤣 its still barely grown and looks just as shit as usual. I've even stopped using proper shampoo and use plant based stuff. Useless. And yeah. I won't be posting photos of me @Juno231 🤣 I do not look hot ever. Cough.
@Minster2012 oh you bet she'll get her bfp having only done it once, technically a day too late. You watch! 🙄
@InkyPaper I feel I must be really lucky never really having to initiate sex. Well- I do at times but it just involves putting my back to him and making sure he catches a glimpse of my arse. 😆 Or I ask him to rub my back because it hurts. That way I can put little effort in too, as it was never my idea! Result! 🥳

notyetamumbuttrying · 31/01/2021 22:46

@Florence13 yeah perhaps. Hard to get my hopes up tho, knowing what I know etc. It was a very small amount as well. Hope you're tww ends with a bfp! 🤞🏾
@Sausage1990 defo not tmi! We've all gone through and are going through the same 😌
@Minster2012 oh I remember what you mean now!! It was me and it was the bridgerton house. It was in Greenwich, not far from where I live.
@Gem176 that's so lovely and a stroke of luck that you can have her again! Ohh sorry to hear what a pain your OH is being hun, that's tough! Pls don't let him make you feel bad for something you haven't even done! He must be panicking, he'll see sense soon I'm sure.
@InkyPaper here's hoping! And my Dh is the same, never initiates, I bring it up and acts like he doesn't know what I'm talking about! Very frustrating! He's never really initiated tho, pre ttc days so it's not anything new but still highly annoying!!
@blackcurrantqueen haha 😆 thank you, I'll allow it 😉
@Vil10 haha lockdown has wreaked havoc on my body, too many takeaways and not enough moving!!

I'm knackered ladies, couldn't catch up on all msgs as need to hit the hay now. Night night x

DJmum83 · 31/01/2021 22:47

@InkyPaper I feel you it always seems to be me initiating sex and it's doing my head in.
Before TTC I had coil and never really felt like having sex he was always moaning that I don't show him affection and don't do it enough. Now the coils out I am definitely more up for it not just in fertile week.
But I feel like it's always me initiating it.
Think I'll have a chat see what he says.

@Vil10 wow hair and body envy. You look amazing xx

Juno231 · 31/01/2021 22:49

@Minster2012 yes tomorrow at 10.20! I'll report back but am fully expecting it to be underwhelming. I'm sorry the parentals have been shit - in what way shape or form do they think that's helpful or supportive? I'd be raging tbh

@DJmum83 if low tomorrow then yes OD tmr and ideally another round of BD - but god knows you're covered! I'm not even sure I can be bothered with another sesh tomorrow - I keep thinking O-1, O-3 and O-5 should be plenty 😅

DJmum83 · 31/01/2021 22:55

@Juno231 goodluck for tomorrow. Hope it goes well.
I'm the same I don't think I have another in me 😂😂 but I'll try once more tomorrow just incase I ovulate 2 days after peak like last month. Im praying ovulation is today.

@Minster2012 sorry they were so insensitive. my MIL is like that very forward and constantly telling me what I have done wrong and I should do things her way as she had 6 children and forayed over 80 children.
Suppose she does know best 😂

DJmum83 · 31/01/2021 22:56

** fostered that should say

Katao · 31/01/2021 23:02

Hi sorry. I've fallen very much behind here. Catching up a bit but have just got as far as your post from this morning @Minster2012 that you tagged me in. Definitely won't get up to date tonight! I'm good thanks. Haven't really been on here much the last few days but me and OH had a good chat a few days ago. I was still feeling pretty disappointed about af arriving last week and he said he was finding it harder lately too as thought it would have happened by now. Anyway we had had a bit of a moan for ourselves and then decided to just try not to focus so much on ttc and just look ahead to the appointment in march. We are still ttc obviously but trying to lower our expectations and assume it won't happen before then. Feel a bit lighter and have tried to keep myself busy and think about other things hence not being very active here. I'm sure come the end of this cycle I'll be more consumed by it but for now just chilling. Hope everyone is ok.

Congratulations @HollieL567, you have been through it, hope this is your time x
@DJmum83 so sorry to hear about your doggy. Really doesn't sound like you have a choice and you are doing what is best for everyone so you have nothing to feel guilty about but it is a sad situation. Hugs.
@Franklydear hope hubby is ok.

I'll have to try to catch up on the rest tomorrow

Dollybird89 · 01/02/2021 01:17

@minster2012 sorry been distracted by the scenery up on the roof of the bus 🤣 I've been lurking and reading just not had much to say lately lol been busy focusing on my workouts and OH been off work (not great for ££ ) plus his co-worker wants to discuss some "options for moving forward " tomorrow so I'm a bit anxious for him..

On the subjects of pets my dog went for me other day as I was trying to put her period pants on! Not sure if it was pmt or not so keeping my eye on her x

Hope your all ok and gonna try interact a bit more in the next few days xx

Skip86 · 01/02/2021 05:31

Hey all, sorry I've practically missed a whole bus. Just been up on the roof feeling sorry for myself, boohoo wah wah.
I actually don't get notifications for tags, so apologies if I haven't replied to anyone! I did just happen to scroll down a page or two and see yours though @Juno231 😊 hi lovely, yeah I'm doing ok, have had a second psych apt with OH and it was a bit more productive. We've also been a bit better with each other at home, so will just keep on keeping on and see how it all goes 🤷🏼‍♀️ how are you??

And how is our fearless driver @Minster2012? I read what your parents said about ivf... 😳 wtf?? I'm so sorry mate, that's rubbish. No doubt they're scared for your health etc, but those harsh, unfiltered comments are not helpful in any way, shape or form. I think you are the least idiotic person I 'know' xx

After 10 months of zero covid community transmission in my state, the gvt announced a hotel quarantine worker was infected and we are all in strict lockdown. Boo. But we've been very fortunate for so long, can't complain really!

Hope everyone else is well 💗 happy Monday x

Juno231 · 01/02/2021 07:10

@skip86 thanks for checking in! Funnily enough I don't get the tags anymore either and I've seen others say the same. Sorry about lockdown but at least your government is on top of it! I hope things with your OH continue to improve xxx

Ladies I've had a temp rise today - I'm hoping this means I ovulated same day as my peak again cause I really can't be bothered to DTD again 🤣

DJmum83 · 01/02/2021 07:21

Morning everyone..

Worst sleep of my life been up and down all night..kept going downstairs wishing Ollie was there.

@Juno231 looks like ovulation was yesterday for you hopefully.
Think OV will be today or tomorrow for me so I'll need to go again tonight and I really can't be bothered either 😂

lucyrp · 01/02/2021 07:22

@InkyPaper I always felt like I was the one instigating sex when we were TTC. It does get tiring but also affects your self confidence because I always used to think why don't you ever instigate it ...

@DJmum83 awww how lovely that you've been sent videos and he's having a lovely time. You've definitely done the right thing. Sending hugs

@Gem176 100%. I'm on another thread which is a pregnancy one I dip in and out of now and again and it's rather worrying the amount of research a lot of ladies do. I'd rather just not look into anything until the time comes. So many of them are looking up breastfeeding and bf support etc and I'm like nope not going to stress myself with that and some are getting so obsessed with their birth plans and mine for DS consisted of literally 3 things - birth unit, birth pool and gas and air. And only one out of 3 of those happened so just goes to show you 🤣

It seems like everyone's having extra ewcm at the moment even if they've already ovulated ?!🙈

@Minster2012 @HollieL567 so so cute. I follow them both on Instagram now and they're so cringe but cute 😂

Minster2012 · 01/02/2021 07:27

Morning ladies!!
Yayyyyyyy good to "see" ya drongo @Skip86 but wait nooooo you are in lockdown again?? Get your government though, one case & BOOM! Glad things are slowly improving with DH 🤞🏻🤞🏻moving in the right direction let's hope & thank you, I don't think I'm idiotic either?

@Katao also sounds productive in a weird way, it's so hard when you just assume it will happen Cos it should & it's heartbreaking for both men & women when it doesn't, but so good to talk, you've got that goal in sight

@Dollybird89 she probs didn't like you jiggling her pants 🤣pmt def! I love those mugs, esp the your face in between my legs one!

@notyetamumbuttrying so I'm not going mad!! Yaaayyyy it was brigerton, Jesus I'm so not observant I wouldn't have even realised 😂

@DJmum83 so hold on you are getting a kitten now?! To go with the guinea pigs right? They get on don't they??? You are taking on animals not fostering children & that's great! Did off mums 😂

Oooooo that reminds me @Joanna1009 hows new cat of many names??? The one that needed to fight with the 3 year olds for its climbing frame?? Sophie Delilah macavity cat??

@paintfairy I am totally watching that thread. 👀👀how is the plant based shampoo??

@Juno231 todayyyyy whoop whoop and it's February dry drinking ladies did you do it?? I bet you did! Well done! @Justanothercyster @notyetamumbuttrying
ok your first appointment might be underwhelming @Juno231 but it's steps 🙌🏻and yes to day off DTD!

I'm a mess of progesterone today, literally. Spent all last night having thoughts of urgh there's stuff coming out of me down there and yeah I'm not sure any went in. Urgh. This is NOT sexy ladies

Justanothercyster · 01/02/2021 08:00

@Minster2012 tis not I.

@Gem176 hahahah. Ines is a state, she ripped into Brunson for being a stripper way back when and her naked body is all over Instagram 🤔
Omg he does sound like he's being mean! It would NEVER be your fault, don't even consider that. And yes, baby over him.

@InkyPaper it really sucks doesn't it.

@JJ93 welcome :) sorry about your MC, I have pcos too, it can be so draining. Luckily (or unluckily...) dh has sperm issues so I don't feel completely alone! Hoping this is your year 🤞🏼

@Juno231 hope it goes well this morning!

larrythelizard · 01/02/2021 08:13

Happy February to you all!

I'm hoping for a better February, going to eat less crap and do more exercise and generally feel better about myself.

Also here's hoping DH gets less annoying and I actually want to have sex with him at some point..!

(I don't think he's actually done anything wrong but he's just annoying!)

notyetamumbuttrying · 01/02/2021 08:23

@Minster2012 sorry missed your post yesterday about your parents. I remember they were against it last time but to outright call you stupid, so harsh! You should show them success rates that should soon pipe them down. I guess it comes from a place of concern, but still, you're an adult and can make your own decisions!
And you're defo observant with the bridgerton spot! 😉
We're continuing the dry drought until dhs bday on 13th feb! (That's the intention anyway lol!) he has to continue until 22nd feb, can't have any drunk sperm at the repeat SA 😂
Sorry to hear about the progesterone mess, not looking forward to that myself!
@Juno231 good luck for today lovely! 😌

I'm ringing a private clinic today, see when we can get booked in for a consultation!

Florence13 · 01/02/2021 08:38

@Juno231 sorry for the delay in replying didn’t get chance to get back on last night. I haven’t tracked due to my loss but feel like I ovulated Friday or Saturday so just into the TWW. I hope all goes well with your appointment today.

@DJmum83 yep well I think I’m due AF just before so we shall see will still potentially be a bloody valentines 😂

@notyetamumbuttrying aww I completely get that hun and thank you I’m really trying not to get any hopes as feel like I may be crushed by AF this time as it will just feel like another kick in the teeth.

@Minster2012 sorry to hear those pesky pessaries are giving you nasty side effects as well as making you feel all weird from stuff coming out of you. But short term pain for long term gain 🤔

paintfairy · 01/02/2021 08:51

@Minster2012 oh no. That doesn't sound pleasant at all. But a means to an end? Hopefully.
The shampoo is expensive. 😆 I've tried a few natural ones and what I'm using makes my hair feel OK. I use green people stuff.
@Juno231 good luck today!
@Justanothercyster I looked her up on Google. How do these people make money from Instagram? I don't get it?
@larrythelizard yeah I go through those phases with DH. Doesn't help being locked up with him. But sometimes he annoys me so much for really no reason. 😆

Minster2012 · 01/02/2021 08:55

@notyetamumbuttrying meh I give up with the parents, there's no wonder I don't tell them things. 🤷‍♀️and yayyyyy to the private clinic let us know & to continuing dry January that's great

@Florence13 def that's the way to look at it thank you xx

@larrythelizard February WILL be better! Look it's already lighter!

Though isn't there more snow forecast??? Eek!

@Justanothercyster ahhhh you see Ines it's TOTALLY different right, cos bronson got naked for cash! 💸💵💰she's doing it for free that's better right??! Oh wait. That just makes her a slag! 🤣😂😆

Juno231 · 01/02/2021 09:07

Ha don't get too excited people - I just got a text letting me know my appointment has been rescheduled for the 11th now! Nice if them to give me an hours heads up...

@notyetamumbuttrying @Minster2012 I'm continuing the drought too! Valentines is annoyingly on a Sunday I think so I'll probably drink on the 13th. I'll need it for the inevitable AF that will show up that weekend too 😅. My next dry Jan app goal is 50 dry days so I'm plodding along with that. I've attached my Jan calendar though so you see I had two planned drink days and that's it :)

@Minster2012 you're so close to transfer day - it'll all be worth it for that snuggly lining!
