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

@notyetamumbuttrying ah I want to watch Lupin but OH is dead against subtitles - even though we watched the Serpent and that was probably 50% subtitles which he didn't mind at all! Hotel Cecil I don't think I can watch cause I hate how Americans pronounce Cecil too much lol. If they can say Cecilia why butcher Cecil so spectacularly?!

And ladies!!! Stop telling me to test. Like I said - I've tested Fri/Sat/Sun and if it's blank at 14 DPO I'm super unlikely to be pregnant.

@DJmum83 sorry to hear that’s the way your family reacted, that is not fair at all. I really do not get that type of a reaction to pregnancy at all.

@Juno231 if you haven’t tested for a few days then might be worth thinking about it when your ready? Although equally get the watch and wait as well.

@Thinkingandblinking sounds like your in the same situation, maybe give it a couple more days and test? Do you feel any symptoms?

@djmum83 pardon my language but fuck them, what's nicer than a baby during this freaking awful time, sod them, you're doing an amazing job and anyone who says differently can fuck off. You got this girl ❤️

@Juno231we watched Lupin and loved it - it's not subtitled, it's dubbed (like Money Heist).

@InkyPaper good point re Mum and early menopause, I don't have any idea and not sure how I'd start that conversation, she doesn't talk about any of that with me...something to think about anyway!

@Juno231 Lupin is good! It's dubbed so no subtitles!

Sorry for asking about testing I must have not read you saying you'd already tested! X

@larrythelizard I'm pretty sure both are subtitled for us - maybe I need to change a setting then! (we've watched the first ep of money heist and that was def subtitled - so is the preview for lupin for us, how odd!)

We watched Lupin with subtitles - it was amazing!

Sorry @Juno231 I missed your post where you said you'd tested already🙈

@InkyPaper @blackcurrantqueen ha don't mind grumpy me - I've just had a crappy Monday morning already. Was up all night cause the student neighbours (thankfully not attached to us!) had loud music and were screaming all night long. Then this morning I could have strangled my mum as she mentioned how her bank account has been closed for 6 months and she uses dad's account nowadays... would have been useful to be told that BEFORE I sent her £250 last week that surprise surprise haven't actually ended up anywhere.

@Gensola So sorry about your BFN x

@DJmum83 That’s horrible!!! Honestly, some things people say never cease to amaze me. All I can say is, they are bitter, bitter people and it sucks to be them. Your child’s world will be what you make it, and from this little time I’ve been here, I can see your baby will be born into a loving, loving family. They rest can all go suck a duck.

@minster2012 You naughty thing! Now you have to give us all the details!

Boring old 3dpo here, but getting closer to the testing week. Got two pounds of ICs and will order some FRER later today. Went way too optimistic this weekend and ordered some decaf as well! Pretty sure I jinxed it right there

@Tornado2Inc I've gone the other way and bought more pre-seed and shit loads of FRER's. Planning for the long haul...!

A late check in from me!

@Kirky658 your dog licking your ears??? Ewwww

@Juno231 absolutely no idea what's going on it's nuts isn't it! And like @larrythelizard dr google is not your friend!! @Thinkingandblinking it's so bloody frustrating you TTC and your body plays tricks on you it's a mindfuck that's why we huddle like 🐧🐧

@DJmum83 fuck em, it's like my parents saying we shouldn't do ivf and shouldn't try for another baby when we have one miracle child. wtaf. It's stupid, they will love the baby when it arrives and until then tough titties. Big love from your girls here ♥️🙌🏻

@Franklydear how you feeling today on day one of week off?? I love that pic!

Adding lupin to list
Also someone suggested v for vendetta to me the other day too

How is everyone else?

@pixienewbie how you doing?
@Billythecat you ok?
@Tabbycat92 you still with us?
@Ronnii not heard from you in a while?
@bwfcchick88 you following us still?

Snow gradually thawing but taking a while here as it's not got above freezing yet 🙈

@larrythelizard i got a box of 25 ic, so no shame here testing at cd 5 just to be sure 😁
@Minster2012 it was definitely nice to wake up at 9.30 this morning still sitting in front of the telly from breakfast, boy still on iPad, we'll move at some point, definitely have a cold, though, feeling light-headed and coughing a bit more, it will have to be a sofa day

@Gensola sorry about your BFN, I have heard of women getting them later though... I think I remember @Minster2012 mentioned her clinic advises a full 2 weeks before testing, will you keep testing for the next couple of days?

@DJmum83 WTAF is wrong with your family, just because things are bleak at the moment (albeit less bleak than during WW1 and WW2) it doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t look forward to a happy future. Pretty sure historically a baby boom has always followed times like these, it’s human nature because babies make us HAPPY and they represent the future.

4DPO (according to my preferred app) and I am getting twitchy... going to try and hold out until Friday, have vaccine clinics this week so will hopefully be too rushed off my feet to think about it. If I get a BFN I think I will also look into acupuncture next cycle too, used to have it for some muscle issues and I weirdly enjoy it. We can be the TTC pricks 😂

I have a new backpack coming in today, so a chance to play new organising, I took a leaf of @Minster2012's rainbow 🌈 throw up book, and I got it in bright purple, not usual black or grey, even DH was surprised

@Haiyaa yeah my clinic have told me I have to keep taking meds and test again on Weds but it’s v unlikely not to be showing up now. They said if I don’t get BFP on Weds then I can stop meds and plan round 2.
(Ps are you from NI? Your Username made me think of home!)

@larrythelizard Good thing you reminded me, need more lube! I quite literally drowned in it this cycle 🤣

@DJmum83 wow that's shocking!! I'm so sorry you had to hear all that, fuck em x

@Juno231 sorry to hear your bodies being a fuck boy😩

2dpo here so the boring bit of the TWW, I'm not sure whether I should order some IC? Anybody know which are good sensitive ones? Dont know if I'm just jinxing myself though! I'm off for half term so extremely bored already, looking at houses and nothing is coming up!!

@Haiyaa - TTC pricks, love it! That's me next Monday!

Any wisdom from my fellow POAS addicts, which are the IC's that are the most sensitive? Got myself confused which is more sensitive, 25 mIU or 10 mIU? The ones I have are 10mIU...

@clolo BBT and OPKs both seemed to confirm ovulation! Got thrush straight after - at like 1DPO for a good 5-6 days I reckon. There's nothing to indicate it would though, it's just the only thing I can identify as being different this time!

@Vil10 you want any that are 10miu, I know the easy@home say they are 10 but I actually found the even cheaper IC ones better off Amazon xx

@larrythelizard 10 are most sensitive xx

@larrythelizard I normally go for the biggest, cheapest 10miu pack that I can find on eBay/Amazon (eBay has better deals IMO). Don't think it really matters which ones. I find them all the same. Oh, and another gazillion FRERS to confirm every line I "see" from cheapies with my line eyes 😂

@Juno231 it's not subtitled! Only dubbed so go for it!! Haha Americans constantly butcher our language don't they 😂
I agree that it's unlikely at 14dpo. Have you been late before?

So Dh has to go into hospital next week to see the reproductive unit. I have a virtual call with them on Wednesday. No one could tell us if our appointment on the 22nd was still going ahead. That one is with the assisted conception unit and we actually know what's gonna happen then. The repeat SA and my Amh so it's the important one. The nhs is so confusing! Anyway, I know appointments are better than no appointments whatsoever so I won't complain, just a bit confused. Luckily not long to wait for it to unravel.

Hope everyone's well today xx
