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 🙌🏻🥰

@florence13 yes thankfully I didn't have to wait too long after I posted and let's just say it was worth the wait 🔥😍 so all was soon forgiven lol 😉

@DJmum83 I definitely think you should nap. I'm actually quite envious of your possible nap plans already 😂 do it! It's basically self care 💕

Franklydear · 02/02/2021 07:52

@Minster2012 it would be great to have a big group together with the few ladies a bit further along and just moved the bus from conception to expecting

Florence13 · 02/02/2021 07:58

@Sausage1990 aww that’s good to hear.

@Minster2012 @Franklydear it definitely would be lovely to have a big group of us altogether going through pregnancy.

Thinkingandblinking · 02/02/2021 08:02

Morning, just caught up and relieved to see orgasms got put back on the list..

@larrythelizard easy at home are good, wiser than the average, and you can chart them! I got 100 LH and 20 HCG for £27!

Anyone else start to panic after ovulation...I have mixed emotions as want Baby so much but also start to panic that I might be and then will be super anxious, totally illogical, but after everything its like the excitement side totally disappeared and got replaced with fear...

Minster2012 · 02/02/2021 08:26

Ooooo and @Vil10 good luck with your offer!!

Justanothercyster · 02/02/2021 08:33

I was thinking about the OH's not initiating sex as much thing that everyone's been talking about, and I wander if it's because we have to do it so much whilst ttc that they just expect it, so don't feel they need to try as hard? I certainly think that's the case with my dh, because he loves it but because I always get in there first he never really has a chance to "woo" anymore. Just a thought.

Good luck with covid test and house offer!

notyetamumbuttrying · 02/02/2021 08:40

@Minster2012 good luck today lovely! 💕
@Vil10 hope they accept your offer!
@Justanothercyster that probably is the reason why! My Dh has never really initiated so I think his comes from a place of shyness or fear he's pressuring me or something. It's very odd! I've tried to find out what stops him but he won't open up, highly annoying!!

Ladies I'm going into the office today 😬 excited to get out the bloody flat! Helping out with invigilating exams.

paintfairy · 02/02/2021 08:44

@Minster2012 🤣 the book looks good!
As for DH. Idiot. He's just going to have to tell them he can't give an answer for October right now. Can they not wait just a couple more weeks? Tough. Honestly. As for the next step, now is not the role to discuss that either. You need to get through this, because its too close now.
@Sausage1990 glad it was worth it. 🤣
@Justanothercyster I dunno- we always just dtd regularly anyway and mostly he initiated. So it's not really changed since ttc. I've initialed a few times but some months i don't at all. Didn't last month and haven't this so far (and we've done it 4 times already - cd10 today). But he's always mostly initiated it since we've been together.
@DJmum83 I love how men never listen. Or see it as their responsibility. Its always yours if they can't be bothered. What would happen if we operated like that?

Franklydear · 02/02/2021 09:09

On the initiating, it's always DH, but for us is because he has a much higher libido than me and if I lay awake for 2 minutes, he takes it as a sign that today is on
On the men responsibility, mine does it, but he needs me to leave reminders and notes, send a text so yes, lowers the load but not the mental load, I did let him drown a couple of times, and let things being disorganized and stressful, just to let him see what it is like for me

DKDK123 · 02/02/2021 09:09

Just popping on to say hi ladies, I have been reading to keep up with everyone's news I just haven't posted, been feeling really shitty and all over the place think my hormone levels are still out of whack, dont even think I ovulated this month in the end and temp has been up and down like a yoyo all cycle so I can't even use that to confirm or not. So I'm just chilling on the top of the bus eating my body weight in chocolate. But just wanted to pop on to say good luck with the tests today @Minster2012 hope there is zero sign of covid and progesterone levels are where they're meant to be then you'll be another hurdle down. 🤞

blackcurrantqueen · 02/02/2021 09:15

@Minster2012
Oh your dogs are beautiful 😍
No words on DH except he needs his head wobbling too doesn't he 😂 all men do in my books at the moment hahaha.

I pissed extremely fast this morning to stay away from the sticks, but I am feeling really pre menstrual so I don't think it's a win for me this month. Will hold off a couple of days if I can cope with it. I'm fairly certain AF will be here tonight / tomorrow.

@Dollybird89 you are the type of motivation I need in my life yeassss girl!

Kirky658 · 02/02/2021 09:17

@minster2012 fingers crossed for zero covid and lots of lovely progesterone today!!

My DH never initiates sex. When we first got together he did, but then with my endo developing it caused severe pain during sex - felt like being electrocuted - so we could only do it when I was at certain unpainful times in my cycle. Now I'm pregnant he keeps trying to initiate, we have managed twice since I got my BFP, but I'm just like seriously go away I'm too tired and my boobs hurt 😂

Juno231 · 02/02/2021 09:21

@Minster2012 god I do sometimes think men are such conflict dodgers - why is it so hard for him to tell his brothers he can't make a decision until end of the month or whatever? Not that hard. My OH is the same and can never ever say no to his friends. I always comment on the fact that he was an officer in the army yet is afraid of conflict lol.

@DJmum83 hm yeah not yet it looks like! Maybe today? Sorry it's dragging for you. My chart def shows a temp shift but I didn't manage to BD yesterday as I've ended up with a bad case of thrush. I'm soooo uncomfortable today and hope it gets resolved quickly.

Juno231 · 02/02/2021 09:23

Btw I'm sure I've linked this before but IT'S SO GOOD

DJmum83 · 02/02/2021 09:25

@Juno231 I didn't think so 😢😢 Mind you my temps could be off as I have not really slept well in past 4 nights.
Sorry to hear about the thrush I had it last month and it was so uncomfortable the pessary really helped.
Xx

DJmum83 · 02/02/2021 09:27

@paintfairy I know right. It's so annoying my hubby is good in other ways around house etc but I'm left with all organising it does my head in xx

Franklydear · 02/02/2021 09:28

@Juno231 but in the army is different, there's procedure for everything and everyone knows who makes the decision, so is not really conflict...
Hope that thrust goes away and you've done enough

Juno231 · 02/02/2021 09:35

@Franklydear not really though - your men always get into trouble and there's plenty of shouting and berating them?

@DJmum83 Mind you the pattern looks good so I wouldn't guess it's been influenced by your restless sleep xx

Minster2012 · 02/02/2021 10:01

Am out of the hospital and don't get the progesterone results until I phone tomorrow afternoon & unlikely get Covid test results til Thursday morning 🤨😩oh well. But that's ok cos we've got @Florence13 birthday tomorrow! Are you doing anything??

DH def needs head wobbling, he just needs to say no anyway Cos we aren't spending the amount of money they are talking about full stop not for effectively what is a "holiday for the men" & the women just look after the kids in cold October weather 🤔🤨er no. @Juno231 I totally hear you, they are idiots! And noooo thrush or @Franklydear says thrust 🤪😆

@paintfairy ive tried to do the "do nothing" for a couple of weeks as in go on strike & it just went unnoticed. FFS.

@DKDK123 take all the time you need & we got your back whenever you need hun, you just chill xx

@blackcurrantqueen I really hope AF fucks off

On the initiating here it's prob 60/40 him, so a good mix I think.

@Kirky658 hows you & OH atm after he was a bit of a knob jockey?

OP posts:
Kirky658 · 02/02/2021 10:11

@minster2012 boooo to not knowing till tomorrow. More isolating in the meantime I assume? My OH hasnt been a knob jockey haha, did you mean @gem176 maybe?

I am trying incredibly hard not to be sick this morning. 🤮

larrythelizard · 02/02/2021 10:11

Thanks @Thinkingandblinking will get some ordered, not convinced by the o

Florence13 · 02/02/2021 10:18

@DKDK123 sending virtual hugs your way.

@Juno231 oh no sorry to hear about the thrush hope it clears up quickly.

@Minster2012 aww bless you at least its over for now but just more waiting for results. I have a super good feeling for you though. Haha literally have no plans whatsoever other than a Chinese when OH gets home from work.

Tornado2Inc · 02/02/2021 10:18

@paintfairy Regarding orgasming and getting preggo – I can honestly say that I don’t remember when was the last time I had sex that I didn’t orgasm (I think there might be something wrong with me), but DD was definitely conceived between spasming all over. We were sexually active throughout the pregnancy as well. I actually remember googling it some 4 years ago and there was this belief that orgasming actually pulls things the right way so there is more chance of getting pregnant, as @paintfairy said. Never seen any proper journal regarding this, so I am assuming the difference, if any, is not really statistically significant. Enjoy your sex. Only so many years left until they go all floppy. As for sperm count, more sex you have, less likely it is that some of them will end up in a tissue!

Speaking of which – and that might most likely be again me being crazy – 3 out of 3 times I got my BFP (2 chemicals, one DD) was when I used pre-seed, and after humpy-humpy “sucked it all in.” You know that one when you are in a bathtub and try to get up using your core muscles, and some water gets in? Well, the same way, but faster. You actually hear a little quick slurp. I am definitely going to try that next time as well🤣

@Franklydear I can totally relate regarding DHs libido thing, mine is also very rapey most of the time. Me “initiating” is putting our DD to bed, then lying down to relax 🤣

Justanothercyster · 02/02/2021 10:51

@Juno231 ahhh I just had thrush, it sucks. The Canesten pessary always works well for me.

Sausage1990 · 02/02/2021 11:01

I think you're right about that @justanothercyster they don't really get much chance to initiate when we're on the case... I think that's good to keep in mind actually. Thank you for that perspective.

So I think may have got my peak yesterday... And if it was then it was quite quick for me and has taken me by suprise if that's the case. I'm going to continue with opk for the next week anyway because I duno... I'm just not convinced. I did have quite the crampy belly last night which felt a bit ovulation-y, and loads of watery cm (mixed with a really little bit of ewcm)...i am hopeful that this was my peak & ovulation but I don't have confidence because I don't think the peak looks dark enough.

I've uploaded my femometer screenshot.

@minster2012 glad your tests went OK and keeping everything crossed for good results tomorrow 🤞🏻
