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

Ffs I had everything typed out and then bam lost it 😔

@DJmum83 I have my fingers crossed for you! I see a second line though!

How many of us use the femometer opks? I have ordered 3 lots overall and with the first set the lines were so defined; the second were the same and the 3rd are so sketchy! The second line seems to be really uneven in colour. Are they dodgy? Shall I reorder them and hope I get a decent pack again? Lol

@Catherinettc you are welcome to come clean anywhere at mine, anytime of the night, ceilings included 🤣as we've established I chose my floor cos of its dust hiding credentials 🙌🏻

@Florence13 nope I've put her in the "one to unfriend in the bit to distant if I've not heard from her". Mehhhh. You are in the valentines crew right?? ❤️

@clolo overall positive
I've had a few great comments of support which is lovely, lots of oh you are strong.
a great in depth phone call today from a friend which was fab, a check in from one sis in law, the other a message saying here to talk but it's lip service, then the disappointing thing is my other sis law who is my actual friend but didn't know as she's been travelling has not communicated other than a "care" despite a FaceTime convo as it was her birthday yesterday

@InkyPaper how are you feeling are you ok with staying away from the sticks?

@lucyrp That's amazing, such a clear picture. I'm glad everything went well for you
@DJmum83 ooooo that looks good keeping everything crossed for you

You can all lower your eyebrows, af just arrived, cycles getting shorter too, 24 days only, last 25, before that 26-28

@Franklydear I'm really sorry AF showed up. Big hugs xx

@Minster2012 ooof that is a bit shit of your friend. Hoping it was a case of poor timing maybe? That she didn't see your post first? Yeah, I'm ok thanks. I'm tired all the time, got cramps every so often, headaches, bit of nausea...but I have IBS so it's hard to tell what is the IBS, what is PMS and what is...whatever else really. Trying to remind myself there's no point in poas because knowing my stupid body there's no point. Don't wanna get my hopes up... 😂 I just wish my body worked 😂

@Franklydear aww I'm sorry AF showed up, sounds like you've had the shittest PMS ever 😞

@Thinkingandblinking @Florence13 I know right 😂

@Minster2012 wow that is shitty, there's a way to be a bit understanding and that is NOT it!

@DJmum83 fingers crossed for you!

@Franklydear what the hell?! No way af is there! Sorry :(

@Florence13 that's the plan🤞🏼

@notyetamumbuttrying yeah yeah I'm absolutely fine!! I just a few days after af get a dull ache in my left ovary and then if I do so much exercise I get a sharp pain, so presumed it was cysts, and sometimes if we have really deep sex I get like a weird feeling, so was referred for a scan and ended up have an internal as well, the woman scanning said from her point of view everything is normal🤞🏼x

@Justanothercyster ive felt exactly like that today!! We just keep saying we just need a holiday or a break, I just feel like I'm a bit stuck, butttt I need to stop being bitter and realise there's people a lot worse off than me, but sometimes that's hard and I still want to feel fed up😂

@DJmum83 keeping my fingers crossed for you!

@Franklydear ffs so sorry af has showed up!! That witch!!

@DJmum83 thank you.

@Minster2012 yes if she doesn’t send you a message definitely in the unfriend pile. Well yes somewhere in the Valentines crew. Truth be told I’m absolutely terrified AF is going to show but also terrified to take a test.

@Franklydear so sorry AF has appeared and your cycles are getting shorter.

@Franklydear sorry AF came ☹️ my last cycle was only 24 days too. Feels too short right? At least we're on to a new one now 🤞enjoy some treats for now!

I am going to bed with a hot water bottle, had a yummy spag meatballs dinner and a hot chocolate, the worry with the shorter cycles is that I am 43 and starting to wonder about perimenopause, hmmm

@Franklydear oh darling I'm so sorry 😠😕

@franklydear sending hugs, AF can go f**k herself. Have some wine ❤️🍷

@2020mission yours was short too?? What is this??? All the loves to you guys

@Catherinettc not received any wee in the post 😝yet or any phantom hooverers at 3am

@Florence13 totally get that feeling. You can sit with @Dollybird89 in the feel ok in the middle crew, should we include @InkyPaper too even though you aren't feeling that positive @InkyPaper but it's better to just not know?? It's all feelings we can relate to 😘

@Minster2012 I had a 19 day cycle a few months ago so 24 is nothing in comparison 😅 it's still showing as 26 days on average in my tracking apps.

@Minster2012 yes might sit in the middle for now☺️ I hope you have been treating yourself to wine and chocolate ☺️

@Minster2012
Haha i will post myself and my hoover all wrapped in a big bow 🤣🤣 so keep an eye out for the postie 😘😘 x

@Minster2012 haha yeah, I'll park myself at the back of the middle section 😉 i love this chat, you all just get it and it's such a relief ❤️

Hey!

Just had a good old chuckle at all your comments about showering-haven't checked out the AIBU but can imagine the gist; we're all filthy buggers for not smelling of white cashmere shower gel before getting some 🍆

On the subject of 🍆 @Minster2012 love the dress; I looked at the yellow bike one too when you posted about the sale but then I completely forgot. Might have to see if they still have any lingering in the sale!
Hope you're doing ok, sorry to hear that fluffy womb is cascading down the cavern 😢, must be like an extra 'kick me when I'm down' feeling.
Are you up to date with MAFS? I'm 2 episodes behind 😬
Must send you a pic of N sporting her funky new hair accessories tomorrow 🥰🥰

@DJmum83 I can defo see something in that first pic 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 😘😘

@Vil10 great news that the scan appears all as normal, maybe the internal probe gave those swimmers hanging around in there some extra energy to impress the egg 😂😂

@lucyrp I am crap at scan gender guesses but I'm saying that's a girly rounded forehead 🎀

@Franklydear sorry to hear AF has arrived, especially after such a promising puke at work 😢

Hope everyone is doing ok, love to read and catch up but struggled to reply to everyone so sorry if I misses big news for anyone xxx

@Franklydear sorry AF came- she can sod off! Hope your hot water bottle etc helps.

I’m so fed up of the endless Merry go round of AF, FW, TWW etc. But I want a BFP so it carries on. I am also sick of the endless pregnancy announcements on fb and insta. I feel awful but it does make me feel worse when they basically say it was accidental! I wish it was that simple for me haha . I guess some days are harder than others.

Rewatching line of duty in preparation for the new series. Something nice to end the day on! Also, period cramps seem to have gone now

@Franklydear oh darling I'm so sorry. I was really rooting for you! 😩

So my friend is outraged MAFS aus has been taken off sky and channel 4. There goes my watching for this week whilst DD is at childcare and I've got the week off !! 😩

@Franklydear hope you are okay..so sorry to hear AF arrived 😩 your symptoms sounded so promising 🥺

@lucyrp congratulations my lovely! How exciting! Such a cute scan pic! I'm guessing girl also! Which is really weird as I've guessed boy for so many people recently and they have been boys but I have a feeling yours is a girl!

@Vil10 that sounds really positive! Fingers crossed everything is fine and you get your BFP soon from all this bonking 🙊😂

@kirky658 great that they are going to be checking up on you more frequently, that's really reassuring! Also not long for your scan now eeek! How exciting!

Had a bit of a wobble today cause i feel like I usually have more symptoms by this stage & so far I've only got very slight tender nipples and weird taste in my mouth...I'm trying to be more positive but god I've never wanted sickness so much in my life 🤭🤮 as awful as it is! I suppose it just gives you a bit of reassurance.
On a brighter note we woke up to snow today and it's been on and off all day eek! 🌨️❄️

@blackcurrantqueen taken off?! What do you mean?
@Justanothercyster I shouldn't laugh but I did about the 💩 🤣 I know what you mean though, ffs, give us a break!
@Franklydear I'm sorry AF showed up. Pants.
@Minster2012 I'd like to think she hadn't read what you had written before posting that. But if she had, then there are no words. I mean- ok, she is excited and wants to post, but a day or 2 waiting wouldn't hurt. Most people are so wrapped up in themselves they just don't think. But not really a friend in that case. I've not got many, I must admit. I used to put up with it, now I don't. So they've dwindled. I don't expect much, but a tiny thought isn't exactly that hard? She'd be down the ramp if it were me! (A girl at work started parking in the bottom car park to avoid me, when we fell out. So it's now my saying. 🤣 (We never made up either, what she did was unforgivable)). So if anyone pisses me off, they can go down the ramp too! 🤣 I'm afraid I've kind of shoved your friend there too, as I've waffled on. 🤣 Sorry about that...... bitch. 🤬
@Billythecat accidental pregnancy my arse. I mean- unprotected sex and pregnancy isn't really that unheard of? Apart from for us. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 FML. 🙄

@Franklydear ahhh shit I'm sorry for af. Your body really does like to trick you. So cruel in this ttc journey.

I'm desperately trying to not read into anything symptom wise. I've been both hungry and a bit nauseous today, I had a bag of cool doritos on my way home from work and the onion/garlic powder repeated on my all evening (which I really struggled with alot during my pregnancy in the summer) , and I've had a bit of smell sensitivity. I told DH last night I think the chickens on the turn because it stinks and he couldn't smell anything and just went you're pregnant 🙈 not helpful Mr F. I'm trying so so so desperately not to overthinking this and get my hopes up.
I'm with you @florence13 I really don't want af to arrive and would love a BFP but in equal measure I'm shitting myself. The thought of being pregnant again frightens me after my last pregnancy. I can't bare the thought of having another chemical or miscarriage. It's a complex journey 😏

Sorry for the ramble.
