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

@Justanothercyster we broke Mumsnet 😭 is going to be our slowest day ever, they've done it on purpose
The best bit of Xmas, remembering in February that you didn't open the box if roses and if celebrations and mixing them up🎉

@justanothercyster mine is the same! Keeps redirecting me as I use the Web rather than the app.

@franklydear I just woke up from an hours nap needing sugar and that sounds incredible, save the soft centres for me they're my Faves lol

@Sausage1990 thankyou huni I will get a wee nosey at that. Sis got me a special handmade soap that seems quite good too. Hope ur well ❤

I'm not even going to attempt to catch up. I've kinda got the just of what's going on I think lol

@Minster2012 you honestly never fail to surprise me ❤ ur like a walking miracle honestly! Love it!

I can't use the app. How do you guys reply to people using that? You can't see what anyone has written once you go to reply? (And like I can remember). I usually use the browser but even then, you can only see 1 page. But today that's been playing up and timing out!

@Kirky658 dogs do at the weekend whatever you do in the week really? Avoid routine if you don't want a dog getting up early! Ours is ok because we got him during lockdown. If we'd have got him before, then with work I'd have struggled for him not to fall into a routine of being fed/walked early.

Website has been down for me all afternoon too, so have been watching “The Great” whilst DD naps with a face mask on (not the covid kind 😂)

@MartyMcShy, how many times do you test each day? If only once you could have missed your peak (sometimes they are remarkably quick) but don’t worry you will normally ovulate 24-36 hours after that so if you dtd last night and continue for a few nights I would say you covered it 😉

App totally down for me and I haven’t got a clue how to use the website!! Hope it fixes itself soon!

@paintfairy you can, just click the X and scroll back on up, then when you click on to type again you just pick up where you left off. It only deletes what you type if you leave the thread altogether. It’s quite handy :)

@Justanothercyster oh really? Ffs. I'll try it. I'm sure when i last tried- my writing disappeared! I'm sure they could make a better app!

@blackcurrantqueen there is a pinned post, apparently a DDOS attack (I had to look it up!) so now the app still not running and the website will do checks every 30 minutes and might check to see if you are a bot 🤖

Wow something is definitely wrong with MN today! App has been terrible past couple of days for me and even website playing up a bit too...althouhh omg I never realised the website you can tag people rather than trying to remember usernames!! 😮😮🙊 This is amazing haha...why they have never put that on the app il never know! Thankyou for all your lovely comments 🥰😘

@DJmum83 aww fingers crossed the 3 week's will fly by...i always finds it never does in first trimester and always seems to drag for me tho! But my next scan is in 3 week's also!
@Crazydoglady123 was it you that said about the sex in the night being woken up? If so this is also one of my favourite 🤤

@Gem176 Thankyou darling, I know it really is so scary I just feel so overwhelmingly scared every time, no mine wasn't a private scan it was through the EPU..everytime I'm pregnant I have to have early scans due to the ectopic I had & then obviously my last pregnancy was a MMC so they obviously need to keep an eye cause of that now too.

@Vil10 uuuuh fingers crossed the nipple soreness leads to a BFP! 🍀🤞🏻

@Minster2012 it has really reassured me! But we are still always gonna be cautious from being here so many times before but for now I'm going to enjoy every milestone! And yes lol the HR watch was long gone when you all said as all it did was frighten me!
EPU were great yesterday...because of MMC they want another scan in 3 week's time and then after that it will be my 12 wk scan and then she said if they don't routinely offer me a scan between 12 and 20 wks to just ring her and she will book me one...I'm guessing that one will be because of the baby I had with the neural tube defect..but I'm really pleased and grateful with how they've treated me!

@paintfairy think that's been the issue tbh we got him in September but I've always been WFH since, hubby is a teacher so always needs to be up early so I think that is the clincher. At least it isn't 6am hey lol x

@Justanothercyster when’s af due for you??

@HollieL567 ahh I hope so!!

My apps still not working so having to come in here through browser! So OH has been called out and by the sounds of the job he’ll be out majority of the night, so I went to Tesco and got one of the big fresh pizzas (I love them) and some crisps, and I’m going to watch my favourite films on the sofa with the dogs!

I've only tested once a day @Haiyaa & only started Thursday based on a 27 day cycle. I usually stop after I get the static smiley on the cb one but it's so early this time I kinda don't believe it and am still testing. I can't use the cb test though coz it stays on the static smiley. DH is working tonight so looks like tomorrow will be the next opportunity to dtd which isn't great. Will keep going after that just in case. I have no ewcm which I usually do so I don't know if it's a false alarm with the cb. Ha where's my zen gone now?!

Sounds like a good night planned there @Vil10! I'll be doing something similar but no dogs here unfortunately. I'd love one but we have a small garden so don't think it'd be fair.

@MartyMcShy If you google 27 day cycles it suggests 'normal' ovulation is day 13, are you around there? Could be your body being a fuckboy? Lot of that at the moment; it seems I don't ovulate until day 20/21!

@Vil10 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 weird nips are it!

TMI but normally I have no discharge right before AF but am quite creamy today despite AF being due. Either it's good news and my weird short luteal phase has rectified itself and I'm back to 'normal' or it's good news and I'm pregnant right? Although would have to wait another 3 days to be in the realms of 'normal' luteal phase of 10 days. AF will no doubt show up tonight.

DH not aware of how much short luteal phase is freaking me out (he's probably forgotten what a luteal phase is!) but going to own up tonight...not least because I want to spend a decent chunk of money on a private check up!

Ahh ladies I've MIA the past 24 hours! Had my covid vaccine yesterday and I've been suffering from the side effects, haven't moved from my bed until about 3pm today! My temp was at 100.22f (if only saw a big increase like that when i ovulate) 🤣 I feel so rubbish! And its OH birthday tomorrow so hoping I'll feel ok by then! @Minster2012 we are making the cake tonight, thinking the old school cake with the icing and sprinkles...anyone remember?

Oh amazing @Hopeful110 are you having custard with it?!

We're doing an online wine tasting, I really hope the toddler sleeps tonight otherwise tomorrow could be rough!

Oh yes @Hopeful110, and it was always served with pink custard 🤤 I felt rough for around 24 hours with my jab, had Pfizer. What one did you have?

Still rooting for you @larrythelizard and @Vil10! I’m jumping on the sore boobs with itchy nips train today, but I always get sore boobs before AF 😢

@MartyMcShy aww when you can I'd deffo say get one!! I couldn't imagine my life without them now!!

@larrythelizard I hope so, my boob kinda beer my semi pit is so tender, my dog just resting against me felt like they were bruised! Well either one is a positive right?? But hoping it's pregnancy🤞🏼 if ag due today??

So in the last half an hour I've started with af type pains, very mild, and this cycle is the first one I've started using pregnacare, and I think it messed with my cycle because I didn't ovulate until CD23 when I usually ovulate CD17, I'm 7dpo so means I'm on CD30 now, my cycles are usually 30-33 days long, so I feel like despite the pregnancare making my ovulation late, it might have my af due bang on time?? OR I'm having the same symptoms as last cycle? Last cycle I started with af type cramps on 7dpo night, then 8dpo morning I kept checking to see if I'd started because I felt like i was going to, boobs sore, bloated and overall feeling unwell, then I get my faint line on the frer but then af started, so I literally have no idea what to think!! Going to try and put it to the back of my mind though and not stress!!

@Hopeful110 ahhh hoping you feel better soon 😔 yes remember that cake, not had it for years!

@larrythelizard you are daring 🙈 i hope toddler sleeps for you too!

I've felt pants all day, headache, dizzy, nauseous since ov day so spent most of the day watching films. We're having a Greek takeaway tonight, cannot wait!

@larrythelizard wow just realised the first bit of my message to you "my boob kinda beer my semi pit" 😂😂 was supposed to say my boob near my arm pit!!

@HollieL567 yep that was me 🙈 always the best sex IMO 😈

Finally got the app back 🙌

@Hopeful110 omg I remember that cake!!! Served with custard too!

@Minster2012 even the browser went down didn't it! And thank you for your help on the ivf front, I think you're right 😘
@Justanothercyster both web and app were down for me.

@paintfairy what phone do you use? Works great with iPhones but have heard android isn't very good for the app.
@HollieL567 you can defo tag ppl on the app. Just hit @ and a list of names comes up below. Does on an iPhone anyway. It's the only way I use mn usually.
@Vil10 your night sounds fab! Hope you're oh has a good shift x
@Hopeful110 aw you poor thing. My dad reacted so badly to it too. Was in bed for 24 hours! Hope you recover soon! That cake looks banging 😜

@Vil10 that sounds like a fab night in!
I'm going to keep hopeful that your cramps are implantation! X

@larrythelizard fingers crossed AF stays away!

App seems to be working for me again now!
I am so tired though!

@Vil10 doesn't AF screw with your head!! I hope she stays away for you.

I'm also having a crappy day. After feeling a bit uncomfortable DTD this morn, my ovaries have been sore all day again. I haven't had my static smiley yet and only CD12 so wondering if my ovaries are trying to ovulate but still sore from the 5 cysts I had a few weeks ago. Really don't want anymore cysts again 😭 Can't be doing with the pain and bloating I went through again 😔
