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 🙌🏻🥰

@blackcurrantqueen Sunday will be cd24, normal cycles 26-28 days so I think that's the earliest I could test, only cd18 today, so potentially not even implantation yet...

@InkyPaper I think it's called Try Dry. I'm finding it quite motivating as it calculates the cals and money you save for each day you don't drink as well. Plus it gives you little goals and badges etc - which admittedly feels a bit like getting badges at the AA!

@paintfairy the TFAB (tryingforababy) forum on reddit soundly debunked this topic along with research etc - I did link to it in the past as it comes up as a TWW fear every now and then. I'll see if I can dig it out again. Adrianoska was def wildly panicking over this, I remember it well lol!

InkyPaper · 01/02/2021 21:05

Thanks @Juno231 😊

larrythelizard · 01/02/2021 21:05

Wtaf re orgasms?! This is quite distressing...! I'm just sticking my fingers in my ears and going to crack on...I'm quite fond of them!

@Haiyaa or anyone else what brand cheapie OPKs are you using? Even the control band on mine is often faint and I can't work out why!

CD9 here so also pleased to be POAS again although not a hint of a second line yet as expected (I think it'll be about CD18 as my bastarding luteal phase is the short bit)

In terms of TV I'm enjoying both new Ru Paul's (UK on iplayer and US on netflix). And if you haven't watched it, I LOVE This is Us on Prime.

paintfairy · 01/02/2021 21:28

@Juno231 I don't worry in the 2ww. But I don't want the sperm to be doing the opposite of being upsucked. 🤣 I did Google but it seems really there's no evidence either way. I suppose its hard to really quantify it.

Minster2012 · 01/02/2021 21:28

So we are def thinking orgasming is good, cool, adding back to the list thank god

@InkyPaper unless something is actually stabbing you in the side random stabbing could def be ovulation, let's hope so! I think TTC can def be a mood killer, gotta try keep it fresh but it's very hard to keep it hard 🤣

Inconvenient dog shot below @Florence13, she's very comfy for an injured dog, and a pic for the newbies who haven't met her, this is a poor hard up working dog in sofa mode. Of course why she moves off the sofa she makes a big deal of it. Also included cockapoo "helping" me with yoga on Sunday. Feeling pretty shit but that's down to DH too

@Kirky658 bloody hate things like broadband issues. I've spent all my day on the phone today resetting up my direct debits after the bank problems so I feel your pain. Hours on hold. Could the school get a booster ( I know that's a no but trying to make you feel better!)

@blackcurrantqueen OMG an orgasm giving them a boost! Love it

@Katao thank you! Yes 😘tomorrow morning. TBH I think DH needs the help trying to WFH with DS here but still!

@clolo ah yes the law of the sod 🤣

@larrythelizard yes to ru Paul (I need to catch up!)

@Franklydear you know we've got everything crossed them weird things are proper symptoms gorgeous senorita

So yeah feel a bit crap, DH once again "failed to listen" to my whatapp about him looking after DS tomorrow for my Covid test etc. So I said over WA at about 4pm earlier about it he was like eh?? I did the whole swiping message to show me saying it & reminded him of a conversation that night too. Oh yes. Well it's difficult. Tough tits no choice. Then he starts a conversation about what do we do if this fails. (I tried to start this a while ago & he shut it down)

We totally disagree.

@Minster2012 it's hard to get excited this early, it can all crash down, but I'll be testing early for a change
I think that is a conversation for in 3 weeks time, wouldn't be great to be pregnant together?

@Juno231 managed one for the road so officially in my TWW.
Fingers are firmly crossed for Valentine's for us all.

@Minster2012 aww I love your dogs so cute. Hope his leg is ok.
Men don't listen do they. Hubby had promised he would take kids to school tomorrow so I could go help my mum.
Suddenly he forgot and needs to be away by 8am. Men 🤷‍♀️
Hope your COVID test goes ok, and are they doing any other tests?
Sorry if I have missed it xx

InkyPaper · 01/02/2021 21:53

@Minster2012 true! Must think positive ovulationy thoughts! Urgh, sorry to hear DH is causing you grief sounds like you're having a bit of a shit evening 😔 his timing of that conversation particularly when you literally have hormones leaking out of you, is perhaps not the greatest.

Minster2012 · 01/02/2021 22:07

@Franklydear testing early!! Yes it should be a conversation for a few weeks but his brothers are pushing him to book a trip away for October for his dads birthday. One he doesn't think his dad will enjoy anyway, & one which would be near a due date & is RIDICULOUS.

@clolo I know right!!?? Yeah I would want to AT LEAST have testing on me done to see what current state of play is (if my eggs are rubbish then maybe stop) ideally do a fresh round, if not then maybe do a transfer to my friend again. Basically since miscarriage & the way it was handled by him being absent, I'm not done, it's made it worse. So until I'm told there is very little hope for me I'm not done, but he is. 😬it's like @Skip86

Thank you @DJmum83 what?!! I thought you had a day off???? Yes it's progesterone too as well, I know I get the progesterone results tomorrow as I have to go get an extra jab if it's not enough but I hope I get both. Another fir the road?! You are good!!

@InkyPaper this picture about sums it up

@Minster2012 yeah I have got the day off work but my mum has MS and was needing me to help her with showering in morning so I was always going to hers first before work but apparently he forgot he was having kids till 9am then putting them to school.
So I'm doing school run then going to my mums. So not much of the morning off had hoped but shouldn't complain.
Hubby actually initiated DTD tonight said he had been thinking about it all day so win win.
Hoping my chart over next few days will show ovulation today.
So here's to a nice surprise on Valentine's or a drunken drown my sorrows.

Hope all goes well tomorrow at your appointment. We are all rooting for you all the way xxx

@Minster2012 maybe just think one step at a time for now. That's all very heavy stuff, just focus on each step of what you are actually doing now, this embryo, this chance. He had his chance to think ahead last time you brought it up, now he needs to support you with the here and now. Don't get overwhelmed with the what ifs and stay positive lovey x

InkyPaper · 01/02/2021 22:51

@Minster2012 that image is great 😂 I'm with @Katao DH should be supporting you in the here and now not getting ahead of himself so he can book a bloody holiday!! It's a bit harsh to now be talking next steps when you haven't finished this one yet.

Dollybird89 · 01/02/2021 23:48

Quick drop in to say good luck for testing tomorrow @minster2012

Catch up in the morning... had dogs walks step aerobics and mini bike workout today so I'm shattered... but still hoping to get some 🍆🤣

Sausage1990 · 02/02/2021 00:17

@minster2012 good luck with your tests tomorrow🤞🏻well actually today 🙈 Jesus why am I still awake?!
Oh yes because I asked DH to DTD tonight because I got a high (possibly peak) opk this afternoon (which has taken me by suprise and may not be peak but definitely a good high) and he said I'll be in [to our room] in a minute... And continued to finish his computer video game 1st 🙄 I mean ordinarily I don't mind but it's gone midnight and I've gota be up at 6.30am for work 😴 jeez why do men make it such hard work sometimes, I'm literally offering sex on tap. Sorry winge over. I don't want to paint a bad impression of him. He's genuinely a great DH and we're a good team but for some reason never seems to initiate sex these days and i thought after our significant dry spell post MC I thought he'd be mroe enthusiastic. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Who knows! Men are a mystery to me. Anyway, night all xx

Skip86 · 02/02/2021 02:59

Gaaaar!!! Something whack going on with my mn app!! Wrote a massive reply to everyone and not only has it deleted, but I can't seem to write in the top 20 or so lines of the reply section! 🤷🏼‍♀️😤 Weird.
So I'll give up for now and just tag along until it rights itself xx

Oh but @Minster2012 good luck for today darling 💗💗💗

Minster2012 · 02/02/2021 07:17

Thank you @Skip86 sending love and annoyance at your app across the pond!

@Juno231 did you get some? 🙄annoying men!

You go @Dollybird89!! U ok?!

@Katao @InkyPaper @clolo
I know right, it's just cos of stupid brother pushing. 🤨 he doesn't want the holiday I think he's just getting stressed

@DJmum83 shhh I see bout your mum, yeah not quite the morning but fingers crossed you still get some time 🤞🏻

@Billythecat are you seeing quickly this morning or testing??? Good luck if you are??? 🤞🏻♥️

Same to you @blackcurrantqueen 🤞🏻💓how you feeling

Florence13 · 02/02/2021 07:34

@Minster2012 I hope all goes well with testing today.

@Sausage1990 sorry to hear about OH making you wait I hope you managed to DTD and get a good amount of sleep.

@Skip86 sorry to hear the app is playing up hope it rights itself for you.

DJmum83 · 02/02/2021 07:40

@Minster2012 hope all goes well today. We are with you all the way.

@Juno231 how's your chart looking today? I'm not sure at all with mine.
What do you think? Do you think I have ovulated? Xx

Have a good day everyone.
My wee boy got up at 5am it's going to be a long day.
Think I'll have a wee nap whilst they at school xx

Franklydear · 02/02/2021 07:40

@Minster2012 good luck for today, and for DH remind him that if he's been an ass and prioritize the wrong thing, he might not be able to go to a holiday if it is his week on the custody agreement.... what a stupid reason to put pressure on you

Minster2012 · 02/02/2021 07:46

Ha ha ha that's a very good point @Franklydear, he asked me what I was reading last night...,here you go. And it would be lovely to be pregnant together, let's get you sorted first ♥️I just want it for all of us
