Meaty periods, ivf roadmaps & announcing BFPS on tannoy 📢TTC Bus 31

[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 thought we might make it to Valentine’s Day ♥️💓 but oh no we talk too much! If you want to talk most things other than TTC we are the right bus, tv, (married at first sight what the hell?!), pets, annoying DHs, good food & exactly how many orgasms should we be having?

We’ve got a rowdy bus of newbies, oldies with history, excited ladies going forwards for IVF & pregnant mates we can’t get rid of...& February is gonna be BIG!

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 🙌🏻🥰

And if you see mention of my blog then blame these guys they made me do it...#shamelessplug

Catching up ladies, good to hear a lot of you have FWs coming up for Valentine's Day 😉 I'm CD4 so will probably just miss out. Gutted about as DH has some days off next week whilst I WFH 🍆 but will still be a good opportunity as DD at nursery 🥳

I feel I'm really missing out on MAFS, I watched it when the UK version first came out a few years ago but it appears to have gotten juicier from what you girls day.

@Justanothercyster sod them, can't anyone just buy a house for buying a house 🤦🏼‍♀️ have a good weekend x

@JustanothercysterOh God, I'm sorry to hear that! People are so insensitive 🤦🏻‍♀️ buying a house is brilliant! You will get there 💜

@Justanothercyster what on earth? Why would you assume that? We bought a house 3 years ago and no one asked if I was pregnant. People do just buy houses? It is a thing!

@bez91 you can watch it on all 4. But it's nothing like the UK one. Mostly because they all mingle, and there's much shit stirring going on.

I'll be 9 or 10dpo by valentines day i think. No exciting FW time for me. 🤣 And if I'm spotting it's hardly bloody sexy. 🙄😧

@vil10 @larrythelizard @minster2012 thanks!
@dkdk123 it's mainly dog walking and step aerobics
@lucyrp deffo a huge mcfly fan lol
@kirky658 I've seen mcfly about 7 times live OH was getting me tickets to see the latest tour but then covid happened! I was shocked he liked them as he too is into his heavy music like rammstein lol

Aww @Justanothercyster why do people do that - it's so annoying! I feel so fortunate that no family members have said anything to us since we got married (I think it's due to the pandemic mostly!) I would definitely burst into tears if they did at certain times of the month. I'm out again this month can feel AF on the way so definitely in that frame of mind where I'm feeling shit and tearful. Just keep focusing on the house for now and try to ignore it. Easier said than done, I know!

@Justanothercyster a house is fantastic in itself, I am pretty sure all kinds of people buy houses.... don't let them pull you down, celebrate!

@Justanothercyster as has already been said people buy houses for all sorts of reasons and I’m sorry that the reason that has been thrown at you is that. But buying a house is a massive achievement and an exciting time so please don’t let them ruin that for you. And I just know your time will come for the pregnancy and baby chapter hun. Sending lots of hugs, and I hope you have a nice weekend.

@Dollybird89 another massif McFly fan here have tickets for their next tour but it keeps having the date changed!!

@Vil10 also in on the sexy outfits for Valentine’s Day but since I might potentially have AF it might all go out of the window to be honest.

@HappyMrsR yes I would say test again in a couple of days to.

@Kirky658 so glad your scan went well- lovely picture

@Justanothercyster people are rubbish and insensitive! Just enjoy your new home- exciting time! People say very stupid things sometimes

@Dollybird89 love that you mentioned your OH likes Rammstein - been to see them and actually took my dad with me as he loves them too! He’s a cool dad, over 70 and has great taste in music. I don’t mind a bit of McFly either

So glad it is the weekend now! Going to have to spend most of the time cleaning but it’s for a good purpose so not too bad. Gone to bed early with horrible AF/endo cramps, hopefully tomorrow will be better. Banana bread was yummy

Have a nice weekend everyone!

@Minster2012 you are a real life human angel. Next time I will need more than colouring books. But regardless it'll be easier with people like you by my side!!

@Juno231 now I wanna see your OH!! Signet rings!!!

@Kirky658 I am so proud of you!!!

@Vil10 I'm the same. Drink water (and wine) but the bucket...
Piss like a racehorse. Always on a wild wee 😂

@DKDK123 glad nothing glaringly obvious though frustrated for you too!! Sounds v similar to what they said in mine, cysts but not enough to cause issues type thing for me!

I also had missing ovaries that required a bit of pressing and moving @Hopeful110 😂😂😂

@Dollybird89 yaaay for sexy chemise !😉

I'm CD11 Valentine's Day. So maybe I'll give out who knows 😂 @Vil10 I think I just use conceive plus like a normal lube to be honest!

Sorry for the radio silence guys work has been intense and I am on AF and grumpy and achy and so so tired !!!
Have just got home for a few glasses of wine and some dinner before bed!!
OH did us another roasting tin special!!!

@Florence13 dam af!! You could still prance around in it though, and save it for when af is out the building!

Well our tea was lovely, I did all the shopping and cleaning today so we're just about to sit down to watch something on Netflix, ready for a big walk in the morning then a chilled afternoon and chilled one Sunday now ive done all my jobs!

Hi everyone.

Been in bed for 2 days with severe migraine.
Will catch up with you all when I can open my left eye properly to read.

Hope your all doing ok. Have a good weekend xxx

@franklydear I just can't think of any other reason my cycle would suddenly start changing unless its the pregnacare conception tablets......
@Minster2012 Hope you're alright and continue to work on planning for baby 2.
Follicle Stimulating Hormone is higher if menopausal just want to rule it out.
I think I'm just looking for any reasons really why we aren't getting pregnant again. I honestly don't think we have sex enough but last time I raised the subject it went down like a lead balloon. Let's see what this month brings us.

@Vil10 haha yes I’ll definitely do that! Cant let a good outfit go to waste.

@DJmum83. Oh no sorry to hear your suffering, hope your migraine clears up soon.

@kirky685 @dollybird89 @florence13 I'm a big McFly fan too. I have such a crush on Tom, especially with that voice 😍 i'm SOOOO looking forward to their tour, its meant to be May for me (Cardiff) but I assume it will be postponed again. I can't wait tho because I'm going with my high school girl friends - 5 of us went to see them when we were 16/17 and the same group are going again, it's going to be such a good night! Did you see their documentary last year in itv?

@justanothercyster ohhh hun that's really hard, taking away the joy of your new home and really insensitive of them too 😔 take the time you need to look after yourselves, get a breath of fresh air in the roof and we're here waiting when you get back 💕

@DJmum83 argh migraines SUCK!!! Hope you're feeling better.

Is anyone not doing anything for valentines day?? We don't do anything for it usually and I don't know if I can be arsed this year either...

I've had the day off work today and enjoyed my chilled day... Had a long telephone catch up with my Grandma, ironed & out fresh bedding on and make homemade burgers for tea, and I'm now sat in front of the fire with a decaf tea & cadbury caramel 💕 the best low key day. Tomorrow we're going to my parents to help out with their Foster kids (we're part of their respite/support system) and I'm really looking forward to it 😊

@sausage1990 I cried watching that! Do you have the mcflytotalaccess? I'm forever watching the live streams they do. I'm a huge dougie fan. I met him 2 years ago at a book signing and got a hug!

Hey ladies, just been catching up on a couple of days worth!
Works been a little crazy as usual!
Hope everyone is well, forecast snow these next few days so I'm really hoping we get some this time! ❄️🌨️

@Kirky658 so lovely to hear about your scan and your interview! Well done girl.
And I bet it was so reassuring to see baby...how many weeks are you now?

@Minster2012 So sorry to hear about your transfer 🥺 you are bloody amazing woman...super strong!
My HCG testing is because of my previous ectopic so just to make sure rising correctly...and had 2 lots of bloods now and so far so good.

We mutually decided with the epu that rather than our usual scan at around 5.5 weeks we would wait this time until 7 weeks as when you can't always see everything it's more worrying than anything waiting another 2 weeks for the next scan! 🤞🏻 So fingers and toes crossed.

@DJmum83 I'm so sorry to hear about the migraine! I've not had one in a couple of
years now I think but I know how you feel xxx

@Sausage1990 we usually do cards. We went out for food last year, but it was the first time. I've bought the M&S deal before. DH isn't fussed though and I'm not that bothered. Probably be like any other day here. 🤣

Sorry for a late check in

@Hopeful110 honestly it sounds about right to me from what I've been told but it's always stressful hearing random numbers i it if context with it being able to ask 🤞🏻

@Justanothercyster sending massive hugs. We are here for you. Either that or do what I do & just say er no, I bought a bigger house to get away from DH??? Or just "why not maximise what you can get at minute & just enjoy it?"

Would you ever say "sometimes it just isn't that easy?" And leave it at that?

@bez91 the uk version of MAFS uk was tame. Get on it 🤣

@Dollybird89 I've see. My busted 🤣 they were fab!

@blackcurrantqueen that looks like what we had for tea except we had tuna. I might put out for valentines 🤣🤣🥰 quote of the night. More than colouring books...hmmmm...there will be no next time so ok!!

@Vil10 I literally read your post as "la la la BONK la la BONK la la BONK"
Awesome

@DJmum83 sending your left eye love. And the right. In its own time

@DOB78 I just had had an interesting conversation with my (single) 35 year old friend who was worried about her fertility and lack of prospects being single & knowing many of her now married friends struggling she said "do I need to freeze my eggs?" I suggested she just gets her AMH tested to see what the state of play is with her egg reserve. That's always the first port of call. If it's good there's unlikely an issue. If in a few months you have concerns that might be a good first port of call but everything crossed it's just a kick up the backside needed 🤞🏻

@HollieL567 thank you darling. The weird thing Is that my mum has just read my personal post on Facebook where I did a v short version of its world cancer day & we should be grateful for how far we've come on a day we should be having our 3rd try but it wasn't to be as they aren't supportive they heard it that way. Oh well. So when's your scan then? How you holding up? Xxx

Can I ask other than @Justanothercyster does anyone else here have known male fertility factors????

@dollybird89 ohhh that's cool about meeting Dougie. I don't have the all access because I didn't think I'd get enough use out of it atm but I bet it's great!!

@paintfairy ahh I'm glad we're not alone in not really doing much for valentines. I might get some nice food in but that's about it haha... God I sound so unromantic 🙈

@hollieL567 I think the plan for a scan at 7 weeks is a good one. Definitely get to see more then and give you more reassurance 😊

Also I'm up late as I've got really sucked into sorting out photos. I've got a new photo box/case that has 16 small boxes for 6x4 photos and I've been going through all the photos of my niece since she was born, dating them all & putting into order. Got more on the way from FreePrints 💕

Omg girls these vivid dreams I'm having are something else. Last night was my first night with my retainers in and my bottom one isn't as comfortable or fits as well as the top one and I woke up at 3am and woke OH up too and looked all over the house for my retainer I thought had fallen out in the night, couldn't find it went back to bed and I've woken up this morning and they're both in my mouth 🤯😭🤣🤣

@Sausage1990 we don't do anything, it's not a big thing in Spain, more like something Americans do, and we never took it up when we came over
@DJmum83 ouch on the migraine, hope you recover soon
@HollieL567 good plan
@lucyrp luuuuuce......

@Franklydear I think I must have been sleep walking or something 😂 they've given me an ulcer on my tongue now where my tongue sits against the plastic 😭

@Sausage1990 as for Valentine's Day we normally just cook steak, chips, onions, mushrooms etc at home for each other and sit down at the table and spend time together so will probably do that. I've also bought a card from bump for OH but not one from myself yet😂
