Ice Skating Lake Spermo on our AIBU chip-piss-sticks TTC Bus 32

[Minster2012]

Are we sitting comfortably MN?? Clutching them pearls tightly?? Are we being reasonable?? I doubt it!

Good, cos we’ve CUM TO PISS ON YOUR CHIPS...oops sorry, our Piss sticks, and use pearls in our ass...well, it’s a special occasion right??? ❤️🥰🎁💌

We’ve got the fastest TTC 🚌in the UK & we talk like it’s a WhatsApp group so be prepared...but don’t worry cos long as you pop in and out & say hello once in a while you can sit on top, we’ve got room for you to chill out if TTC gets too much.

We thought we might make it to Valentine’s Day ♥️💓 but FOR THE THIRD TIME no!

If you want to talk most things other than TTC we are the right bus, tv, (married at first sight Australia what the hell?!) & pissing off the rest of Mumsnet.

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 and we are now OWED BIG.

Valentine’s Day Menu....

• Some Ladies ordered new undies 🙌🏻
• Some Ladies ordered sticks to piss on 🤞🏻
• Some Ladies ordered no undies 👌🏻
• Some Ladies ordered wine & chocolate 🍷
• The bus driver ordered BFPs all round

Whatever we all get for Valentines, we’ll be here for support ❤️🥰😍

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

@InkyPaper you can get a second low of EWCM half way through your LP but that's about it. So either you ovulated only a week ago (which is possible!) or it was a false start and your body is trying again now. Do you have an OPK to try?

@DJmum83 woo hoo so happy for you, can't wait to see it on FMU if that's a late pee! 🥳🥳🥳 Keeping fingers, toes and everything crossed that little jellybean makes itself comfy in there and snuggles down for the long haul

@DJmum83 congrats my love!! X
@paintfairy oh I'm very cautious when on their insta, only look at the first few pics, don't read the comments 😂
@larrythelizard need to read that thread when I'm finished work, sounds hilarious 🤣

@Juno231 ah ok, that's interesting - thanks for explaining! Hmm, I've no opks - my cycles are a bit ridiculous so I figured it'd cost me a small fortune to use them. Probably is my body trying again knowing how crappy it is! I'll just treat this like FW again 😄

@InkyPaper just notice all my spelling errors, sorry! But yeah to be on the safe side jump on OH, but hopefully it's a false alarm and you did ovulate earlier!

@DJmum83 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 looking great, and not even a FMU? Fingers crossed it sticks!

I need to ask another OPK question, I know I shouldn’t have done FMU but I am still registering a “peak” after an initial dip to “high” so Femometer has moved my ovulation day. I think it shows my LH is going down but verrrrrry slowly so now worried about my body being a fuckboy! What do we think? Ovulation today or still to happen?

@DJmum83 I see it 😍😍😍 🎉🎉🎉 🤞🏻 AF stays away and that line gets stronger. So pleased for you x

Baked beans on weetabix is just rank. Like would the beans have been warmed up? And how dry would the weetabix be 🤮🤮

Hi ladies, I'm hoping there's a seat at the back of the bus for one more! I've been following for a while and decided to take the plunge. I'm 38 (when did that happen?!) with a 3 year old and ttc #2 for just under 2 years now. Have our apt at the fertility clinic next week. All my bloods & DH's SA are fine so looks like the egg and sperm are playing hide and seek . I wish they would stop . I really thought we were in with a shot this month-had loads of preggo symptoms but just my body being a fuck boy! Rhr has gone way down so expecting the witch tomorrow. So onto cycle fuck knows anymore!

Congrats @DOB78, fingers crossed for a lovely sticky bean!

Doh should have been @DJmum83, sorry!

Thought I'd upload these for anyone waiting for 1st appointment at fertility clinic and wondering what will happen/be asked. I just got this info booklet thru the post from the hospital before my 1st appointment. I thought it was good to ease the anxiety! There's 6 pages so I'll need to do it over 2 posts as it'll only let me post 3 pages at once. Hope it helps some.

Part 2

Our team have just been called to an urgent teams call at 3:30pm..
Standby for updates!

Ps haven't heard about the interview yet, was a week ago, so going to chase tomorrow

I can only see until 15th Feb @Haiyaa...not sure if there's meant to be more?

Not that I think I'll be all that much help, I've displayed my complete ignorance for OPK's since boarding the bus!

@InkyPaper I'd prob agree with @Juno231 either it's just a random bout of extra LH or trying again but if you cover it ten that's the most important especially if you had long cycles before! God it's so bloody stressful isn't it!! No wonder we have weird cycles!! Treat it like FW & can't go wrong really

@Haiyaa I would have thought actual OV would be yesterday or today but you never quite know as they say can be upto 24/48 hours or so don't they?

@Clairey844 I mean it's just wrong on so many levels!!

Hey @MartyMcShy and welcome to the party bus! Join the fertility (or not?) crew 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️we have the worlds biggest game of hide and seek going on here so we know that bloody mind fuck well 😬let's hope the RHR means nothing (I don't rate it as it's freaked a lot of ladies here out but pfffffftttt) and you get a great surprise

@Kirky658 oooooo sod the team call send an email to the interview ppl saying "just following up to say how great it was to virtually meet you last week, and I'd like to take the opportunity to reiterate my interest in the position. I look forward to hearing from you in due course, is there any idea on a timescale for that at all or what the next steps might be?"

Here's one for you ladies... get pumped in time for Valentine's lol I only managed 21 out of 26 mins but it's all good!

@lucyrp you are better than me, I can't do anything at all with my hair 😂 gets a quick flick with a straightener to make it sit a bit neater and that's my limit!

@Gensola not all at once but maybe one a day if you can't hold out and it makes you feel better, I have zero willpower though so don't listen to me 🙈

I think I'm missing posts, who's washing twice a day?! Even I'm not that bad! Although I have my shower in the morning and a bath each night.... It's me that's killing the planet 😳

@Kirky658 dd has a habit of leaving teddies everywhere, if they aren't cleared up before going out the pooch likes to rip them to shreds... he shows zero remorse and looks genuinely annoyed when you pick up the aftermath of his murder 🙄 dogs!! Wouldn't be without him though!
Also a daily washer but not because of exercise 🙈😂

@Missgoldilocks eeek, terrified of catching covid, how bad was it?

@Juno231 glad the appointment has come up with a plan for going forward even if it was a bit short.

@Minster2012 beans are just unreasonable full stop 🤢 putting them on weetabix actually makes me boak!

@DJmum83 YESSS! 🥳🥳🥳🥳 congratulations!!!

@Dollybird89 that hiit would kill me!!!! 😅

@minster2012 deffo stealing that lovely para 😘 the teams meeting was to say we are going back to full pay again after 12 months on 85% so that's nice, bit more time to save before bubba comes if I stay

@gem176 they're a bloody nightmare aren't they, can't live with them, can't live without them lol. It was just so funny it was one of DH's school textbooks!

@Kirky658 got a bit of experience in that field 🙌🏻but that's great though!! I mean you've been doing 85% work right?

@Gem176 I think it was @Kirky658 & all her exercise washing hair twice?! I don't like beans or weetabix.

@Dollybird89 ooooo noted!

It's chaos here.

@Vil10 walk bonk walk bonk??

@DJmum83 I didn't like to say I was quietly confident but OMGGGG YAY!!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I'm so so pleased for you. Deep breaths! This ones sticky for sure Xx

@InkyPaper re EWCM I had it like 8dpo last cycle and @Juno231 said that was a known thing but any other times I'm not so sure. I guess if your cycle is a little bit all over the place then that may be the cause. Get shagging just in case?

@Haiyaa todays peak looks like the OPK is flooded so I'd say probably ov today?

@minster2012 haha I wish if anything I've been doing 105% work working for the amendments team!!! @gem176 not me, once a day wash after morning exercise lol

Thanks @Minster2012! I've been reading the buses for a while and have been amazed about how little I knew about ttc. My cycles used to be regular but they have changed so much the past few months I don't know what they're playing at. It was the same when I conceived my DD. I've had a sibling go through several rounds of IVF but they never really spoke about it so trying to read up about it before our apt next week. Thanks for posting the info @DKDK123, it's really helpful. I think my DH would like to keep trying naturally but I tjink given how long we've been trying and our ages (he's a bit older than me) it's time to talk to the professionals!

@DJmum83 OMG! What wonderful news ❤️

I need to catch up from this arvo but just wanted to post that I had a VM from the hospitals scheduling team...it's blatantly to cancel our appointment on the 22nd 😭 means we'll have to go private for it all unless we postpone the lot. Can't make a decision until I know what they're gonna tell me but from speaking to others who are at that hospital, they don't give you a new date, just cancel the existing and say to expect a new date in the post at some point. Proper put me in a downer now and I was looking forward to a day off with Dh tomorrow too. Now I just feel like poo 😒

@Gensola ahhh I have my fingers and toes and everything else crossed for you! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@Vil10 you're covered don't worry!

@Juno231 so a bit anticlimactic I guess? That's annoying, BUT, it's good things are happening and tests are being done. Did you ask all the questions you wanted to? That's what made ours last so long, I had a list written down haha.

@Missgoldilocks yes! We're watching the Aus version as it's on tv each night now. Soooo much drama.

@Minster2012 I think you're in for a miracle, I feel it x

@DJmum83 omg!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 congrats!

@larrythelizard Omg that aibu 🤣🤣🤣

@MartyMcShy welcome 👋🏼

@Kirky658 why was the meeting urgent?? I need to know!

@notyetamumbuttrying that's proper shit, little bastards!
