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 🙌🏻🥰

Morning all, listening to Metallica on the bus to get motivated
Nothing much to report, DH is better although he was irritating yesterday, but I guess that's what a night in hospital does to you....
Read all, too many things to answer but I'll remember a few
@Juno231 good luck today, hoping for good news
@Gem176 read him the riot act, and when he can grow a baby, he can have an opinion
@Skip86 glad things are improving, it won't be overnight, also jelous of your prime minister, our clown 🤡 is saying I did everything I could...
I am getting lots of symptoms, need @Minster2012 reminder that can be just progesterone... fucking tww

Franklydear · 01/02/2021 09:14

@Juno231 FFS!
Good vibes to @Minster2012
I did an accidental dry January, I didn't mean to, but I didn't actually drink

Katao · 01/02/2021 09:28

I'm still trying to catch up but omg @2020mission you just killed me! I was like what the hell is a foot thermometer and why is she putting it in her mouth! 😂😂😂

Florence13 · 01/02/2021 09:29

@Juno231 that is shocking! Cant believe they gave you so little notice.

@Franklydear glad that your OH is getting better. What symptoms are you getting?

blackcurrantqueen · 01/02/2021 09:33

@Juno231 was it in person or face to face ? If in person I think I'd turn up and plead I didn't get the text 😂

@Minster2012 think I missed the parent post too, I'm so frustrated for you that they're being how they are!

CD29,10DPO and I had to make myself go wee really quickly this morning so I couldn't be tempted to POAS. I am determined I am waiting so I don't get my hopes up. I usually have a 28day cycle but the MC has made things all a bit out of whack!
Anyone else close to me in the TWW?
Help me stay strong and away from the sticks please 😂
I'm getting some signs of AF - crampy pains etc so I am not hopeful, though I am weeing lots and windy which both happened when I was pregnant before, bloody hormones.

Juno231 · 01/02/2021 09:42

@blackcurrantqueen I would have been waiting for their phone call so I'm afraid pleading ignorance would change nothing for me! Move away from the sticks lady - you can do it!

@Franklydear can't believe you managed one accidentally! In my defence I had my bday, a friend's 30th and it's been super hard with OH drinking alcohol as if it's water next to me Grin

Katao · 01/02/2021 09:50

@Haiyaa I gave swaying a go the first couple of cycles. Laughing at my naivety now seen as I'm up to cycle 13 🤦‍♀️ hope you have more luck! It was the same for me, more of an experiment as I would have a slight leaning towards one gender but just a bit of fun really. No harm trying if you are lucky to catch quickly 😃

notyetamumbuttrying · 01/02/2021 10:11

@Florence13 that's exactly how it feels right! Fingers crossed for us all!
@Minster2012 yeah they can't be surprised now when you keep things from them, their loss! You're so close to transfer day as well now, you don't need their negativity in your life!
So the private clinic want amh and antral folic count done before seeing us so the appointment with them has been booked for after my nhs one. She said give it two weeks in case the nhs take a while with the results. So I now have a scan booked in on the 8th March and our consultation with the dr on the 10th March! Have checked my dates for March and I'm due on on 29th March so we could may well start then if we do go private!! 😬 I might get my 2021 baby after all 😂 see how carried away I get lol!
@Juno231 we'll be breaking the drought at the same time then! Impressive calendar 👍🏾 omg the 11th and with an hours notice 👎🏾fucking useless but I suppose 10 days longer to wait isn't too bad. Could've been a lot worse with these nhs delays x

Vil10 · 01/02/2021 10:19

@JJ93 I really hope this year is your year!!🤞🏼

@Minster2012 thankyou!! Back on it today💪🏽

@HollieL567 Thankyou so much! I would kill for a bloody tan now!! Lockdown has made me gain so much weight, and with the gyms being shut I just can't find the motivation to do many home workouts!

@paintfairy hahaha that's usually me!! I never get my hair cut because it's usually just a boring simple trim and long layers!

@notyetamumbuttrying you and me both!! How's the brown cm??

@DJmum83 Thankyou lovely, currently trying to look like that again x

Minster2012 · 01/02/2021 10:30

Wtf @Juno231 noooo that's so shit!! Sorry lovely

I don't know if anyone missed the patents thing, I didn't make a deal of it on here, it's in the blog, carrots of care. Don't worry all good, there's other ppl this week!

@Franklydear great choice! My boobs absolutely kill me. Feel slightly sick too. It's all the meds so I know nothing is to with the transfer 🤣😂so glad DH is better. @blackcurrantqueen how you feeling then?? Wee quickly wee quickly!!

@notyetamumbuttrying that's awesome and it's not like I've done similar. Nope not at all 😆😬🙄

Minster2012 · 01/02/2021 10:37

We aren't gonna get anywhere close to Valentine's Day with this bus 😂🤣

OP posts:
Katao · 01/02/2021 10:42

Sorry I'm just replying as I manage to catch up so I'm probably way out if date 🙈
@Justanothercyster my period often does that false stop thing too but usually for no more than a day.

@notyetamumbuttrying I read your post snd my heart skipped a beat! Where there is a chance there is hope and that sounds hopeful!
@Minster2012 l hope the leg is ok!
@Vil10 also did not expect you to be dark hair, had more of a caramel blonde in mind. Funny how we make up these pictures of each other.

Florence13 · 01/02/2021 10:49

@notyetamumbuttrying aww you are allowed to get carried away. I think we all start planning dates well I know I do every new cycle, but having hope is what keeps us going right?

@blackcurrantqueen put the pee sticks down you can hold off a little longer. But also keeping everything crossed for you!

@Katao how are you doing?

Florence13 · 01/02/2021 10:50

@Minster2012 no I don’t think this bus will make it to Valentines unless we all go mute 😂 but don’t think that’s going to happen.

Billythecat · 01/02/2021 11:25

@blackcurrantqueen I’m on dpo9 so I am pretty near you in the TWW and also peed really fast this morning so there was no chance of POAS! I just don’t want the disappointment! Fingers crossed for you. I may end up testing just before AF is due so that I can get it out of the way.

@Minster2012 omg your parents! People just aren’t sensitive at all are they? I have no intention of telling my parents we are TTC so hopefully advice is not repeated Smile . If I manage to get pregnant at any point, they can just find out when there is a nice announcement! Hope the progesterone symptoms aren’t driving you too mad and that transfer day goes well in a few days!

Anyone got any good Netflix/prime series suggestions? Trying to find something new to watch with DH and out of ideas! Drama or true crime is good Smile

Today I have a quiet work day so might try to do some sorting through drawers later, if I can be bothered! Moving feels far away so it’s hard to have the motivation atm to get anything done, especially when we don’t really have room in the flat for loads more boxes. Might be a lazy day Grin trying not to symptom spot!

paintfairy · 01/02/2021 11:28

@Juno231 wtf? This is why none of it instills me with confidence. Mine is a video chat they send a link for via text. Which should come this week. We shall see....

Juno231 · 01/02/2021 11:35

@Billythecat depends on what you've already seen! For thrillers the Sinner was really good. Find True Detective if you never watched it and omg Fargo the series was actually great.

For dark comedies I'd suggest End of f*king world or the one we're currently watching - the Great on bbc or channel 4 (can't remember!)

For new thriller type series I've heard lots of good stuff about the Serpent on the bbc right now.

Juno231 · 01/02/2021 11:39

@paintfairy exactly - so I'm being cautious about this next appointment on the 11th in case that changes too!

@notyetamumbuttrying that's exciting how everything is happening soon! If my appointment is disappointing I might get a consultation with a private clinic tbh as it feels like I'm stuck in limbo. Saw on here the other day that a lady had 2.77 TSH which got dismissed by her GP but a fertility specialist wanted it to come down asap for her to have a chance at TTC so prescribed her with levothyroxine. So I keep thinking that since I'm in the 3+ range I should maybe just go ahead and sort something out privately too. So many women get pregnant literally the month after they lower their TSH....

Kirky658 · 01/02/2021 11:57

Morning all, happy February! My fave month. Valentines and my birthday at the end 😊

Had a bit of a shitty 24 hrs, bad sleep, the water trap fell off the bathroom sink for no reason and flooded the bathroom, and the dog just will.not.stop.barking. I love him dearly but when DH is teaching he needs to stay in his bed. DH is headed to pet shop later to buy chews, think doggo is still teething but he's driving me mad. My little bro is 21 today and I hate not being able to see him and celebrate!

Just feeling a bit down in the dumpsies. Any exciting news to share?

bez91 · 01/02/2021 11:57

Catching up after a few days away phewww, will have to have a good read later.

@Minster2012 may have missed, have you got your date for transfer this week?

I'm still moping about waiting AF. Today is day 19 of luteal phase and no sign of the witch. DH thinks he's got a bloody hernia after overdoing it at work, doctor said on the phone give it 4 weeks to see how it goes but he's in a bit of pain in the groin area so things are looking good for any upcoming FW 🙈🤦🏼‍♀️

DJmum83 · 01/02/2021 12:11

@Minster2012 no we are not getting a kitten stupid hubby said that to stop her crying. No way I'm not getting another animal for a long time.
Is transfer day this week? Exciting. Hope your feeling a bit better.

@Juno231 that is totally out of order sorry as you would have been all set for the appointment.

Xx

Justanothercyster · 01/02/2021 12:44

@paintfairy god knows! @Minster2012 she really is a turd. A shit stain on the pavement of society is what we used to say in school haha.

@Katao it's weird isn't it. I'm cd4 now and it's gone 🤷🏼‍♀️

Kirky658 · 01/02/2021 12:48

Hey ladies... So I applied for a job which would be perfect for me, less hours, salary still really good and locally based. Loads of perks Inc free nursery on site. I have just randomly been invited to an interview on Thursday! I am equal parts thrilled and terrified. Not sure what to do as obviously I applied before I got my BFP, now things have changed a lot. I have emailed asking if I can discuss with them as I'm an honest person and don't want them to interview me if they would have no intention of employing me, but I'm trying to figure out what I'd be entitled to pay wise, looks like maternity allowance rather than maternity pay but can't tell the difference between the levels of maternity allowance and why they're different!

notyetamumbuttrying · 01/02/2021 12:53

@Vil10 none today so guess it was just some old blood gearing up for the 7th and messing with my head! I chat to a sonographer on a different thread and she said it could be a polyp so one to bring up when I get the scan!
@Minster2012 thanks matey! So hard not to do right 😂 so nice to dream isn't it! Be all blissful and optimistic, better than the alternative I think.
@Katao aww thank you ☺️lovely sentiment!
@Florence13 you're so right! Hope is a wonderful thing really isn't it 😌
@Juno231 yeah I say go for it if it's an option for you! I wish we'd just got on with it last year now but we got lulled into a false sense of security talking to Dh's urologist! She was so forthright in what she was saying but she obvs didn't know how appalling the wait times were!

Vil10 · 01/02/2021 13:03

@Katao it is isn't it!! I always have ideas of people but obviously we'll never know until we see a pic or whatever!x

@Juno231 so sorry about your appointment x

@notyetamumbuttrying ohhh yes I've heard of those! Could be, I'm still secretly excited for you🤞🏼

@Kirky658 congratulations getting the interview!! And you've definitely done the right thing in telling them x
