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

I feel like I went to bed last night for some fun with DH & missed a load of fun on here! Concrete up @Juno231, pulling in and out bullet lube with @paintfairy surgeons with @Gem176 @ @DKDK123 inflatable gun with @Dollybird89 and TMI (nahhhhhh I think we've established not) @Tornado2Inc
🤣🤪
Bearing in mind you lot told me to write a blog I've put all the TMI on there

@paintfairy a ted baker scarf, boxer shorts, aftershave, and a Jaime Oliver cookbook! Buying him a chocolate cake today 🎂 😋
Hope that gives you some inspo. The boxers was because they're the loose kind and meant to be better for the swimmers 😂

@notyetamumbuttrying definitely crisis averted I bet you're chuffed! 😜

@paintfairy omg that thread !!!

@2020mission I'm so sorry. I know exactly how you feel but back when I used to get upset by it the PG ladies didn't drop by so much then they just used to leave. Il try not to mention too many things going forward

@Haiyaa ahhahahaa AF being the ultimate Karen! Love that! 🤣🤣🤣

Morning all
All test negative, covid and pregnancy, so I think I just got a bug and feel run down, luckily I have a week off to relax, did I mention that?
@lucyrp and the other preggos, I love to hear about your scans, announcements and other things, gives me hope and even if it doesn't happen for me, it makes me happy that's happening for you
@Sausage1990 hugs, darling, we are here for you, sorry I didn't mention earlier
@Minster2012 our lovely driver, always looking after the others, what would I do without you? yes, I am way more open here than with most people, but it is because I feel safer here, it takes me a long time to build trust, but you are the best

I need to roll back and find @paintfairy thread, that'll be this morning entertainment

@2020mission oh hun I'm so so sorry if we upset you talking about how far gone etc we are. I'll try and reign it in as I know how it feels. Hugs.

So up since 7:30, dog barking to go out, DH woke with a headache, snapped at him for moaning as I've been feeling like shit for weeks and he's shut up about it now - why are men such sodding wimps?!

Agree with @Franklydear - I like to see the updates @lucyrp 😊
@notyetamumbuttrying mine keeps saying he'll buy some looser boxer shorts! But it's not happening. So that's a good idea! 😆

Am I the only one who doesn't use lube here 👀 am I broken?
Currently trying to avoid lake spermo whilst dh is in the loo styling his beard, I need to get in there!

@Juno231 yum! Looks amazing!

@paintfairy unfortunately the thing that I found most shocking in that post was the spelling mistakes 🙈 but yes, she is in a weeeeeird position with that one. And in denial.

@Franklydear I'm very pleased the Covid was negative, not so on the preg but I hope you can get some lovely chill out time with DS on your week off, I think you said that was coming up 🤪

Does anyone else have half term off? Other than the teachers

Just on the preg talk and other bits it's a really difficult one as we are a mixed bag here...and our ethos is that it's talk about what you want isn't it? Ask what you want? We know a lot of the ladies are scared based on their (or our) former experiences of loss, chemicals, and not wanting to tell ppl IRL (especially in lockdown) as @Gem176 said so do they have to go to a pregnancy board where no one knows them & then just watch us 👀, I wouldn't that. But yes, we can admit that it's hard because yes we all want to be there. I can admit that. Jesus I've been here long enough & I'll be driving this damn bus forever I guess.

I mean half of our talk is IVF based, and I've certainly not given that a massively positive slant BUT DON'T FORGET OUR FIRST TIME WORKED TO MY FRIEND PPL and many of my friends have a first time ivf child, so do we stop that? It might scare the hell out of the ladies going for ivf so do I stop saying what I'm doing? How I'm feeling? 🤷‍♀️ you ladies will all get babies from it and I prob won't, I want babies for you all for gods sake. Concrete up the foof n all.

Then there's the good old TTC, the shaggers, newbies and oldies, should that be it?! Just nothing CD1-8 then POAn OPK watch the OPKS jump the 🍆then wait in the TWW! Wait for the lines or AF...whilst watching it's a sin or MAFS!

I think it's ok to have a bit of it all, because I can't add to OPKs so I leave that to others, and I leave the pregnancy chat to those pregnant & I didn't read that, likewise if ppl don't want to read the ivf bits then maybe skim over & I will use the blog instead

But I love all the random chat in between!

Rambling you say????

@Justanothercyster I never used lube either, or a bullet, it would have never occurred to me, so many things to discover

Morning everyone.

Quick question I work as a home carer, so a lot of physical work. With my last pregnancies I worked in an office.
I do a lot of hoisting, showering moving people in bed etc. I never really thought about it until hubby was like make sure your not rolling reaching over people or hoisting. I was like well that's my job.

I wasn't going to tell my boss until I hopefully got to 8 weeks.

Does anybody have any advice? Will I be ok to carry on with these tasks? Or should I tell boss?

Thanks cx

@Minster2012 it is difficult, of course, reading things. I find it informative if it's about things i haven't yet experienced (ivf, other fertility stuff, pregnancy) and it's a place we can share. And have support.
For me- the newbies that appear on here, and get pregnant on cycle 1 do piss me off, I'm not going to lie. But the ones who have been on here a while (or indeed have joined recently but have been ttc a long time) I like to see their stories and updates. And I'm happy for them if they get a bfp. Just like i would hope others would be happy for me?

I understand that people in your own life announcing pregnancy (friends, family) is upsetting, but i honestly don't get that from here at all? We are all in it together as far as I'm concerned.

@Justanothercyster you can use the fertility lube to hopefully aid sperm. As for needing lube- I don't mostly. Sometimes I do right after AF as I need extra then. But the rest of the month I have enough of my own. 🤣 The bullet just requires a dab.

@DJmum83 can't help with work but I have horses and it's heavy work, and I'll have to just carry on? Certainly until i was too fat to move. 🤣 Wouldn't occur to me at the beginning not to.

@DJmum83 our clinic always say twisting is the issue try not to twist quickly in the early weeks but other than that they say carry on as normal

@paintfairy yes I agree but on the newbies anyone is welcome & of course it's "annoying" if ppl get pregnant on cycle 1 but only cos of jealousy for me, in terms of being on here I'm only actually pissed off if ppl join, do one post, nothing else then come back with a stick pic, (you may have seen my replies before 🤣)
We love newbies, & love ppl getting involved, love to chat, love TMI @Tornado2Inc the bus is for support & it's just annoying to me if there's no support for others just a "hey thanks I'm now pregnant" 😩
I spend time tagging ppl to try get ppl involved & check in on ppl not because I have no life.

@DJmum83 sometimes we have to move heavy stuff, and do things that once you started cannot leave suddenly (to pee or to puke) so they ask us to tell early in confidence just to adapt the work, obviously you don't have to tell until 30? weeks but, then you do the announcement to the team when you want to

@Justanothercyster I need lube cos I'm drier than the Sahara, I don't think you are the broken one 🤣

We have all been newbies at some point, I agree with @Minster2012, the only people that piss me off are the'remember me? I posted once 3 buses ago and I got my bfp' and why are you telling me?, You should have joined in and talk to us and I would have been thrilled for you 🤷

Hey gals...hope everyone's well! I've had so much to catch up on it moves sooo fast lol!

@paintfairy that thread 😂oh dear...bless her I think she seems pretty clueless about someone she's got 2 kids with!! So bizaare

So I think I'm doing a @kirky658 and will probably get told off lol.
I don't know Ive said from the off I'm gonna try and be more positive this time but I'm really struggling, I know it's always gonna be harder after loss analysing everything but it really is tough. I'm 6+1 now and all I've got is sore nipples literally feel fine otherwise and I just feel with all my other pregnancies apart from ectopic that I've had morning sickness start already by now and I usually get it really bad and I've got nothing 🥺 I've never wanted sickness to come so much in my life! I'm not really bloated...I'm not off food so it's panicking me..but until this bus I never realised about rhr and clicked on my Fitbit yesterday and until yest it's been going up each day but yest it went down and so that's really worried me to now. I'm just so scared and want everything to be okay but I'm really worried if it's not 😭 sorry to be a downer guys I just want this baby so badly so I'm freaking out a bit.

Hey girls, just a little drop in from me today, I fell asleep SO early last night poor OH tried waking me up for a bone and I was like no I'm tired😂😂 ov day today though and we're having our Valentine's meal tonight and LOTS of wine so I'll deffo catch it, well hopefully, and if not I still DTD on Thursday so hopefully smep and all that, probs won't be on here much got a busy day, we're having our new front door fitted today, then I'm going for a walk with my friend for her birthday then our food is being delivered at 3, I need to decorate the cheesecake I made yesterday and might even make some lotus blondies then it's Valentine's night🍆❤️ hope everyone has a lovely day whatever you're doing!!x

@HollieL567 talk about it, it helps, every pregnancy is different, no fitbits allowed, that's coming off today,

Thanks everyone.
Have emailed my boss told her to phone me when she can will tell her and she can do risk assessment and go from there.

I absolutely love this group but I totally get how hard it must be, so if it's ok with you all I would love to stay to chat and see how everybody gets on, but I'll curtail the pregnancy chat.

Xxx

@HollieL567 yep sorry we don't allow pregnancy by Fitbit here. RHR means nothing it just means you are nicely chilled out, no symptoms means nothing darling but it's ok to be freaked out after your losses

@Franklydear @Minster2012 @paintfairy True that. One of the reasons I joined when I was pretty sure I was out was because I'd feel very rotten announcing a bfp two weeks in, regardless of it being my cycle 12 or whatever. Not sure I even would. It's annoying. Personally, I love seeing bfps on here, it makes me happy and it gives me hope. What I find annoying is more the attitude of an attention seeker, that's all.

That being said, I'm a gross human and am here mostly for goo, good graphics and TMI; expect nothing more, nothing less from me 🤣

Oh ladies sorry I absolutely didn't mean there should be no pregnancy chat here. I was just sharing with @Sausage1990 about how much of an emotional rollercoaster TTC is and that I felt it hard to read pregnancy conversations and updates at certain times of the month (mostly just around BFN)! I'm not in charge and would never ask or expect everyone to rein in their pregnancy chat. Just ignore me! I just leave the thread for a day or so when I'm feeling that way. I'm sure I'm not the only one who needs that occasionally.

I actually think it's worse when pregnant ladies disappear once they get their BFP and never pop back in to chat again as we're like a wee community and that feels like we were used 🤣

@2020mission totally get where you are coming from.
It's good to be honest about how you feel.
I never read your message as don't have pregnancy chat.
I just want to keep you all as friends xxx
