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 it’s at bourn had one at LWC before Xmas but wanted another opinion. Just looking forward to agreeing a plan...not long to March now (febs a short month) 😬

@Gensola must check out this book then, we've got some great cookery book recommendations here that go down well with all not just evil MILs

@Thinkingandblinking you e got a consultation tomorrow & stick twitchy?!! Ooooooo @Juno231 is yours tomorrow now???

@Justanothercyster don't. Say. It. Out. Loud. Normal. Nope. Also catching up tomorrow.

@Gem176 we just do funny card. Or at least o thought we did. 🙄

@Thinkingandblinking what outcome did you get from the appointment before Xmas? Are you heading for ivf? Yeah it's not long now. Have an nhs appointment before that one this month to check my amh and for hubs to get his second SA. So it's all go after the 22nd feb! X

@Juno231 think your appointment is tomorrow hope it goes well.

Thanks everyone think I will enjoy a few drinks this Friday.

@Minster2012 are you proud no POAS today 😂 xx

@notyetamumbuttrying They want to go quantity route first round and freeze (maybe pgs) and then 2nd round, low and fresh transfer...they offer good 2 multi cycle package. Just my gut tells me to get another opinion, make sure approach is right. Or we can just continue to 🍆 and if it happens it happens....🤷🏼‍♀️

@DJmum83 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️proud stars! does that mean you are just holding out now. Ad infinitum? Til after your drink on Friday anyway??

I've got tomorrow got @Juno231 🤗good luck!

@notyetamumbuttrying it's absolutely my favourite guilty pleasure! Pretty sure the only couple the experts actually picked were jules and cam, all the others went to have been picked specifically to clash!

@Minster2012 he's never done card, did flower delivery our first ever Valentine's and I'm assuming he now gets a reminder email each year and just hits re-order 🙄 I sound so ungrateful and I'm really not it's just I'd rather something that cost a fraction of the price but required more than 10 seconds thought. I'd also be delighted if it wasn't an attitude of "pfft you're lucky no one else buys flowers". Although last year I got perfume and a candle too, no idea what was going on there 😂 but the week before dd had emptied more than half a bottle between herself and all her teddies.... house reeked for days 🙈

@Juno231 good luck for tomorrow 🤞🏻🍀

@Minster2012 yeah I'm going to have a drink Friday night and if AF not here Sunday I'll test but have a feeling with the cramps I have been getting she will be here.
I haven't had a drink since August 2 gins and I'll be gone 😂😂 xx

@Thinkingandblinking follow your gut I say! Good luck, let us know how it goes! X
You too @Juno231 ♥️
@Gem176 yeah they did some funky matches didn't they 😂
@DJmum83 you're in for a fun Friday night 🥴 🍷 enjoy! X

Well, af finished and now I get the cramps, I am going to bed, it's way past my bedtime

Night @Franklydear hope you wake up cramp free! 🤞🏾

@DJmum83 @Minster2012 @Gem176 thank you, I'll keep you posted as soon as I'm out of the appointment!

@DJmum83 did you say since August!?? How??

@missgoldilocks didn't you have a laparoscopy booked but then got your bfp? Do you remember how much it would have cost? How are you as well my love - give us an update please!

Ohh @Juno231 I love Bao, we had some good ones the other week with piglet belly in - ordered from restaurantkits. Not sure I'm brave enough to make them myself. I had an email from Cook (posh ready meals) about their half a Peking duck which I quite fancy but we're going all in on the meat on Saturday so maybe hold off for a week or so!

@lucyrp one of my friends apparently 'trained' her hair not to need washing in the first lockdown...I am skeptical! I haven't really seen her much in the last year for obvious reasons so can't comment on how good or not her hair looks! I have fine hair that looks gross quite quickly, I try to only wash it once a day but sometimes exercise happens at the wrong time and it's a two wash day.

@Justanothercyster I LOVE Elinor Oliphant too. Have you read the Midnight Library? Really enjoyed that one too.

@Thinkingandblinking did some more POAS ovulation style but no improvement on the one I posted. Feeling a bit bloating and crampy so it's coming; will be interesting to see if Premom kicks up a gear at the same time as clear blue static smiley!

@DJmum83 bloody hell that impressive, I think I'd wee on a cotton bud for lack of anything else to wee on (I have been stocking up on OPKs, IC and also FRERs though so the cotton buds are safe)

MAN I'm just so bored of lockdown!

In awe of all you ladies on your IVF journeys tonight

@paintfairy I’m not too sure what just an exploratory laporoscopy would be. My last surgery was like £5000 ish but that was surgery to remove it by a specialist. It was definitely way cheaper the first time when I had less done!

Just dawned on me that we are moving in a week and now thinking of everything we haven’t done yet and panicking rather. Going to try to sleep if that’s possible!

Found the bus! Busy already 😅

I haven't read the Eleanor Oliphant book you're all referring to but I'll add it to my list. My last read was a non fiction... Unnatural Causes. Think it's time for some fiction next.

Jumping in here with a pomegranate juice question... has anyone found one that isn't from concentrate? I've realise the POM is a waste of time as it has barely any of the nutrition that pomegranates provide. £3.70 for it too the cheek of them 😆 so I'm not buying it anymore. I might just buy pomegranate seeds instead and start adding them to breakfast.

Good luck with the appointment tomorrow @Juno231

@Minster2012 maybe because laps aren't fertility related, exactly?

Living the mafs chat. And yes you are all correct. Wasn't it filmed in 2019? Susie had 2 more kids already? Wtf? Clearly we need to be in Australia ttc. I really hope Jess gets what's coming to her......
I definitely don't want to look up what people are doing now. But I will, when its finished.
@Juno231 I can't believe we started on buses at the same time, and managed our first fertility appointments in the same week! I'll await the update! Good luck.

Evening ladies!

I am here and reading but OBSESSED with 'it's a sin!'
HIGHLY recommend it!
Maybe not if hormonal!

Hope you're all doing okay!

Xx

@notyetamumbuttrying hubby might be in for a good night 😂

@Juno231 I had a huge night out in August started drinking at 6pm and was still up drinking the next day, hadn't done that in years, and I was dying for a week after it, couldn't remember a thing and had the absolute fear, so just couldn't face it.
And with lockdown and working over Christmas and new year the weeks have just passed and haven't had one,
Was never one for drinking in the house, prefer going out then back to a friends house, but I took it too far that night and NEVER again 😂😂 xxx

@Minster2012 haha yeah I see that about my posts now. 😋 Busy thread

I would love to get on this bus 33yo and on 12months TTC baby #1 and my nice normal periods have been absolutely batshit crazy from the moment we started trying!

Cheers bus driver 👍🏼

Marking my place and trying to catch up after a bonkers day yesterday so will read through later . FW is here (again 🙄) looks like there is a few of us this week. Naturally again coincided with DHs week on call...
Happens no matter how long my f*cking cycle is, the world is against us 😂 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Juno231 I hope your appointment goes well today.

@Franklydear I hope your cramps are gone.

@bez91 oh no sorry to hear husband on call for FW it’s typical isn’t it.

@larrythelizard no I haven't, but will check it out!

@Juno231 good luck today x

MAFSA- totally agree. I also want to know what they're up to now but will wait till it's finished!

Morning ladies & welcome @Kally9 course it's the way that your cycle goes crazy when you want TTC, we have a phrase for that here, it's cos your body is a fuck boy I'm afraid 😝welcome aboard!

@DJmum83 that sounds like aright session you had!! We'll roll on tomorrow! 🥂

@paintfairy yes DH says 2 more kids since filming cos I was like "in addition to her other one??" BABY?? Apparently so but I didn't want to look myself & spoil the television treats 😉

@2020mission I thought the Pom juice wasn't from concentrate? My linings worked since drinking that so I will stick with it, There's definitely one you can buy off Amazon which is totally pure cos it tastes like soil, it came in a pack of 6

@bez91 maybe he won't get called away!? Only kidding you gotta work around it for your dick!!

@Gem176 I can't for the life of me curl my hair the way she can. I can curl everything apart from my fringe right and she always makes it look lovely and sweeping so jealous. I always normally wash every 3-4 days and have to blow dry it otherwise it goes greasier quicker and then I style it but since being pregnant I've been so exhausted I haven't styled it since before Christmas 😂

@larrythelizard I try to train my hair every so often and it just doesn't work 🙈 I'm giving in today and washing it anyway 🤣 omg two washes a day ?! I couldn't do that with all the drying and styling I'd spend all day doing my hair and nothing else 😂
