Yoga slurping & keep fit POASticking - TTC unconventionally BUS 33

[Minster2012]

So our valentines treats did the trick & we’ve got some BFPs for February...HORRAY!! 🥳♥️😘

We’ve picked up some newbies who come armed with a flesh light for horses, 🐴a penchant for McSteamy & 2 extra Sausages 🐶🍆for us to add to our rowdy bus.

If all else fails we can send our dogs round the country...stud them to each other cos they don’t understand social distancing and get a hella cute bus loads of pups instead, they can then teach us how to do it!

Grab your popcorn for Married for at First Sight, your briefcase for the horse spunk & make your decision on whether you are McSteamy or McDreamy...🩺

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 are 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.

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

Haha this will give you all giggles then, im cycle 2 but month 8 🤣🤣
Had my covid jab today, the woman told me even if I fall pregnant I can still have my 2nd dose in May.... but I'm not convinced yet. OH birthday on Sunday so making a cake tomorrow for him haha! (Im a terrible baker) hopefully its edible lol.

With the ol pom juice, I cant be the only one who actually likes it right?? I'm drinking nearly a pint of it for the past 2 days, lol Happy Friday ladies 🥰

@Crazydoglady123 ooh that's interesting, I'm in on Monday so will report back.

@Dollybird89 you do indeed have a lot on your plate, I'm a big believer in fresh air helping your mind so get out with your dog and give yourself a blast.

@lucyrp I'm also big boobed and tend to buy whatever's reduced on figleaves, although I think they're now part of simply be instead of standalone.

Good luck today @HollieL567

Hope today isn't too bad for you @Minster2012 - definitely a bargaining chip for reducing the cost of the shed, got to be some silver linings right?!

@Hopeful110 I bought Pom juice a while ago but forgot about it as I put it in the wine fridge...I think it's the big one with no actual pomegranate goodness so probably no worse!

The extra supplements I ordered to try and up my progesterone levels should be here in time for CD1 which is good, like to start on a clean slate. AF due tomorrow, BFN today quite obviously!

@2020mission we dtd CD 10 CD 12 and cd13 and from my ovia app I had a peak reading cd13 when I normally get a peak reading CD 15.
Also just to add in the mix we were so done having sex lol I was booked in for surgery so we did self insemination on cd12 and cd13 instead of dtd. 😂😅 I used the 1ml syringes off amazon

@crazydoglady123, that makes sense. I used to work with people from China who couldn't understand how we ate cold food and drank cold water. Everything they ate and drank was warm/hot! I thought of all the questions I should have asked during my appt with the fertility clinic after I got home 🙄 I always do that.

@Hopeful110-bbc good foods website has loads of recipes for cakes. I'm not the best baker either but find most of them ok.

Just on what you mentioned earlier @Vil10, Rosanna Davison (former miss world/universe) has posted something on her insta saying people shouldn't ask others when they're having kids coz you don't know what's going on with them. She had 14 miscarriages, had a daughter vis surrogacy and then got pregnant naturally with twins a few months later. She has been very open about her struggles which has really gotten a lot of attention in Ireland. It's great someone in the public eye is doing it.

@Missgoldilocks how did you get it in the syringe? 🤔
@Franklydear that job post is awful!

@paintfairy used a small bowl to collect it then gently sucked it in the syringe and viola

Ohh @Missgoldilocks that's right I remember someone posted about conceiving on the month they resorted to insemination 😅 didn't know that was you. You must have thought deep down too it probably wasn't going to be that month since you were cheating haha brilliant!

@MartyMcShy it is so frustrating!! I'm sure if his girlfriend knew he'd said that she'd be fuming, she's very maternal and sensitive and understanding about things like this! Exactly! I will never ask anyone when they're having a children, that could be a massive trigger for someone, some people just don't think do they! Also that's so good of that woman to speak out, me and @lucyrp have said a few times, there's woman in the public eye and with good social media platforms who fall pregnant within a few months and then talk about "their TTC journey", and it think with such big platforms they should be raising awareness at what an actually TTC journey is!!

@Minster2012 just saw your tag. I'm sorry I just sort of fell of the bus a couple of threads back! Realised in the tww of last cycle that I wasn't chilled, I had completely lost hope. Didn't even test which has never happened before. Turned out to be another stupidly short cycle at 22 days. The whole thing seems pointless so I don't know, just can't be arsed 🙈 month to go to my rescheduled appointment and I don't really have faith that won't get moved again. Sorry don't mean to come back all full of doom but that's just where I am at. F**ked off with ttc!

I have missed a bus and a half but gave skimmed and was happy to spot a couple of bfps 😃 congratulations @DOB78 @DJmum83 and @pixienewbie

Just seen this on Facebook❤️

@MartyMcShy Glad it's not just me that just nods and agrees and thinks of the questions after!

@larrythelizard ow that'd be great to know why! My next ones not until the 12th March now.

@Vil10 I love that ♥️

@2020mission literally really thought that month it wasn't going to happen lol I was just waiting for the surgery it was the only month I didn't really think of concieving. I used to hear those stories and get so frustrated but now I'm like, maybe there's some truth to relaxing

I don't know how to copy a link to another post on the app but there's a lady who just got her BFP after 10 years of trying, wanted to share with you all 💜💜💜

I’ve missed waaaaaaaaaay too much! Is this some sort of record? We’ll be done with this thread by the time the weekend is out!

8DPO update, some twinges yesterday so either implantation 🤞 or AF coming to fuck me up 😂 😭 and to top it off I seem to have come out with thrush today 😑 I caved (again) and tested, BFN. DH asked when we would know so I said probably by Monday. To which he replied, “and I bet you’ll do a test every day instead of waiting until Monday?” Well duh! He obviously hasn’t looked in the bathroom cabinet and seen my stash of sticks waiting to be pee’d on 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 might go and do one now just for fun 😂

Hoping AF stays away for all my cycle buddies over the weekend 💖

Sorry I haven’t time to go through everything so will just skim through and start again from today!

I found a funny covid vaccine one www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4170411-Was-I-a-Bully

Good grief! I bet she wasn’t half as “calm and polite” as she seems to think she was.... receptionists can be brusque but they don’t generally say thing like “you are being a bully” unless it’s true.

Neither was she I a hurry to correct the whole family records until a vaccine was in offer, on the other hand, 5 years of untreated lung condition? I told DH where he thinks we would be if I hadn't had medical input since 2016? Pffffff, soz don't believe you

@Tornado2Inc that's not every week to be fair, a standard mon-fri week is 50 hours but on the weeks he does weekends he's at 70 hours. The 80 hour weeks are where they are full steam ahead with boats in and doing 15 hour shifts to get stuff done before weather changes. He could choose to be in an office daily like the majority of the other AMs and leave it all to his staff but he's a bit of a perfectionists and can't. He worked his way up so and wouldn't cope on the office all the time.

@lucyrp dds room is where the cat sleeps and try as I might to get her out of this habit she's having none of it!

@Franklydear I don't think I do the talking thing, I'm just a plain snorer 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

@Crazydoglady123 it was a £20 free bet from when I'd set up the account to bet on the grand national (it's tradition isn't it?) so it was doubly nice 😂

@Kirky658 also a member of the no boob gang normally a 32B, don't really know what to do with these now except enjoy them because if it's like last time they'll disappear again 😂

@bez91 it's funny now but at the time I was not amused 🙈😂

@Vil10 today's delivery.... send help 😂 oh and I'm the same age as your OH, 31 in June so you have LOADS of time and my OH is 39! I'd say you both have loads of time!

@HollieL567 I have a scan on Tuesday and feeling very similar to you. Think I might actually spew when I finally get there. I hope all went well ❤️

@Missgoldilocks 🤣 a bowl. I would be worrying about sterile. But I'm guessing there was no orgasm then doing it that way and I'm back to thinking I should avoid them! 😆

I'm a cold person. Always. So does that mean I should only eat/drink hot things? No wonder i hate salad. 🤣

@Gem176 hahaha what a lovely delivery!! Yeah we deffo have time if say we had problems

@HollieL567 hope all has gone well with your scan.

@Hopeful110 oh bless you can’t say I’m a fan of Pom juice

@larrythelizard sorry about your bfn.

@Gem176 and @Kirky658 I’m also part of the not much boob gang haha.

With regards to months TTC I’m on month 14 now.
Still trying to catch up with the rest of the chat haha.

@Katao sorry to hear your feeling that way but think a lot of us feel very similar. Hope having a break has helped.

Catching up from this morning 😄 hope everyone has had a good day 😊
Loads of ewcm today 🙄 so definitely trying to ovulate again. DH surprised me with a quickie after work though so we're covered at least! 😄

On the boob front, I'm actually dreading the boob situation if/when I get pregnant. I'm already in a G cup and bras are so expensive!! I tend to get mine from Bravissimo when they're having a sale 😂

@2020mission I always think of it in terms of months because my cycles are so ridiculous. Like we've been trying a year in March and I've only had 7 cycles

@Dollybird89 oh bless ya, the "when am I getting grandkids" conversation is never fun. It's super, super easy to get lost in what-ifs, all you can really do it try and focus on what you can control otherwise you'll just torture yourself over it all. Keeping everything crossed your job hunt goes well 🤞

@Vil10 he really came out with "you're not getting any younger"?!?! 🤬 Cheeky bastard!! What is wrong with some people?
The Facebook post you shared was lovely though

@HollieL567 thinking of you, hope your scan went well ♥️

Hey girls!
I am soooo so relieved so far so good!! Saw a little heartbeat!
Keeping my fingers crossed that it's a sticky one now and everything is gonna be all okay!
Should be 7 weeks today from LMP but she dated me around 6 weeks 3 days.
Scan pic attached for you all! Also can anyone else see the love heart on the first scan photo!? 🥰
Still not caught up yet but I will do tonight!

@HollieL567 yaaay!! Glad it all went well!

@HollieL567 I think you can be relieved if you heard a heart beat... great news
