Of course it takes a village when you're dealing with fertility f*ckery TTC bus 41

[larrythelizard]

Ding Ding

Agency bus driver here so expect driving past the normal bus stops, someone incapable of working the ticket machine and definitely no change given!

In all seriousness I really hope I have all the right names in the right places!

Welcome back to the bus where anything goes, hop aboard, tell us about you & we’ll be here for you (there’s a song in there somewhere!).

This bus has a growing bunch of gorgeous black and white springy pups on board, tortoises & 2 feisty little kittens so bring your pets and pictures are obligatory 🤗.

We’ve got TTC happening in many different forms, shagging conventionally, unconventionally, with the help of scientific intervention, IUI/ICSI/Clomid/IVF & even just watching from the top of the bus 👀. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been trying for days, weeks, months or like some of us we’ve been around each other for so long we can’t bear to leave, nothing is TMI and there’s never a silly question...

Hell we KNOW TTC is tough, lots of us have had heart ache & are chasing 🌈so we are there for each other, as well as trying to have laughs along the way 🥰☺️

Oh and we like an embarrassing story to get your ticket for entry please!

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

Ahhh yes I remember that bit, and I walked into the bedroom around the door & saw DH doing his pre fertilisation sank & I stood & watched him & he then saw me afterwards & said he felt violated 😝ah right yes Cos you asking me to finger myself in front of you is different than me watching you? and having a dildo cam in me?? That's not the violation 🤪🤣😆it amused me

@Minster2012 I giggled at this, reminds me of a similar conversation post hubs SA at hospital, I was like so what kind of stuff was you watching this time? What did she look like? He said I was gruelling him with the questions of details when I was just intrigued🙃🙃🙃 only thing he was willing to discuss was that she was brunette.. I'm blonde 🤣🤣🤣

you've dropped on lovely weekend for weather purposes for your trip, hoping tonight the mood can be set for you guys 😘💁🏼‍♀️

@notyetamumbuttrying
Good luck with your EC hunny hoping they can get some juicy eggs for you!! Exciting times ahead for you 💖 I'm just waiting for confirmation of our first fertility appointment darling in abit of a limbo land state until then, I've got used to it 💁🏼‍♀️

Hi all, thank you for the support, after my day of Netflix and nails I feel a bit better, but I started coughing and a runny nose so I guess a cold was the culprit, i test twice a week, staying away from covid

@notyetamumbuttrying omg that's so exciting!!!

@Minster2012 hope you're enjoying your week away!!x

@Franklydear hope you're feeling better x

Well shit news all round from me, started bleeding full red flow this afternoon after feeling so emotional and snappy last night/this morning, was supposed to go to my friends for tea tonight and then to my friends sons christening tomorrow, just been told a woman I was working with Friday has tested positive for covid, so I let my friends know and said I'd completely understand if they didn't want me going round tonight or going tomorrow and with children and babies and grandparents being there they didn't want to risk it which is completely understandable!! Now I have a sore throat which is making me nervous, I do lateral flow tests twice a week for work but the women who tested positive, actually tested negative on one of those before going for a proper test! So now me and the OH are just sorting out the garden, I've bought some new bits and he's re pointing the flags and the house! Week off next week so gonna pull myself together! Hope everyone else has a lovely long weekend❤️

@notyetamumbuttrying eeee exciting news!
@lexber here's to camper van babies, enjoy!!!!!
@vil10 bleurgh sorry lovely that really is shit timing. Sending hugs babe and hope youre not affected by covid.

In laws are tolerable so far but we've only been here a few hours... MIL did a lovely picky lunch with meats etc and cheeses a good 3/4 of which I aren't allowed to eat but never mind 🤣 we've been for a walk and then to the pub which was nice. Now time for a nap for me and means I get some peace and quiet tehe x

@Vil10 book a test, you might even have results tomorrow
@Kirky658 I am also ‘napping’😉

I started to feel better as my cold symptoms started to show, and now I have a week off, luckily

@kaylsd thank you hun! Ooh I hope so too! I'm glad the balls rolling for you. Limbo is no fun, been there so many times before so feel your pain.
@Vil10 eek I know!
Ah sorry you've started hun, what a headfuck! So did you go round your friends in the end? Ppl are picking up bugs at the mo as everyone's immune systems are shot to pieces from not going out and about much.
@Kirky658 whoop!
Glad they're being tolerable hun. Love a picky tea, shame you couldn't eat all of what was on offer tho! Enjoy your nap 💤
@Franklydear enjoy your week off, hope you feel better soon!

I've had lunch with my sister in Brixton and a wonder round the markets and shops, then into pop up Brixton for a bubble waffle, was divine! Pic for attention. Incredibly naughty considering sugar is the devil but hey ho! 😅

So.... bank holiday traffic means we are still 90miles away!!! But we've had a great time travelling.... 3 service stops, a costa, Burger King and breakfast con before we even left our area, one massive detour around Bristol to save sitting 2 hours on the M5, and now near Exeter...

Pray for us...

@Lexber prayers coming your way 🙏🏾 hope you get there soon mate!

72 miles to go....

This autistic adult accounts are meant to be for helping supporting da, but I read them for me really, latest meme, I am getting si positive that I am freaking people out

Evening ladies sorry I've been absent for a few days.. took some me time and trying to get my head back in a good place .. which ended in me wanting to dye my hair a vibrant colour... Got halfway into doing it and had a breakdown because I couldn't manage to do the back so OH abandoned the chainsaw repair and donned the gloves and brush and finished my hair for me... If that's not love I don't know what is 😍🥰
Hope everyone is doing ok and hugs to those who need it ☺️ X

@Dollybird89 fabulous hair and lovely dh

@Kirky658 Thankyou!! Hope you're enjoying your weekend, rubbish on not being able to eat half the buffet though😂

@Franklydear there was no slots left for today or tomorrow😩 I've taken a lateral flow whilst I wait though and that was negative! Here's to having a week off!!

@notyetamumbuttrying I know very annoying!! No I didn't go in the end, quite glad really, I had a rubbish sleep last night so I'm knackered!! That bubble waffle looks amazing😍

@Lexber hope you have a lovely weekend in the camper!!

Wow. Mammoth catch up! We've been away this week and then today I was out all day. But it's kind of like binge watching netflix. I can get answers without waiting!
@Minster2012 great about the house. Enjoy your time away!
@Juno231 @Vil10 sorry about AF. Complete head fu*ks.
@bez91 sorry about the bfn.
@DKDK123 I'm really sorry to read your news. Its so unfair.
@Haiyaa I cannot believe I missed the AIBU post and it's now been removed! Gutted. 🤣
@Dollybird89 bright hair is good!
@Kirky658 bloody useless drs. Honestly.

Someone else posted about a useless dr too, but I can't remember who now? I think they just are. I'm 12dpo and have spotted every day since ovulation this cycle. Drs seem to not think that bleeding 19 days out of a 26 day cycle is any issue at all. I mean- yeah that's really convenient. 🤬
And I'm sunburnt from today! 🙄 Otherwise, not much to report.....

We are parked right on the lands end of Newquay and there's a few other campers - and what appears to be a mobile disco 🤣🤣 I've told oh not to rock the van too hard or we might get an applause later 🤣🤣

I have my fire I'm happy

Hi ladies. Sorry for the lack of chat. I'll have a proper catch up and reply tomorrow but before i go to bed I wanted to share my hair photos after seeing @dollybird89's hair update (which I love BTW, wish I was brave enough for pink) ... No where near as vibrant as yours @dollybird89 but I still love it.

There's a before and some afters for you 😊 Lighter for summer and the freshen up that I needed 💕

Morning ladies
@Sausage1990 you look amazing and your hair is so pretty

Morning ladies,

Loving the hair @Dollybird89 @Sausage1990 😍
@Vil10 that is rubbish news I'm sorry 😘 will you have to isolate from work ?
@Lexber that sounds dreamy 😍
@Franklydear that's a good motto for life I reckon!!
@notyetamumbuttrying ive never had one of those bubble things but I WANT IT!! Looks amazing! That's very exciting on the EC front!!!
@Minster2012 your story made me laugh 😂 glad the sunshine followed you for your little holiday, god knows you deserve it. Have you got good food ??
@Kirky658 got to love an in law 🙃

I went out for dinner last night with my sisters and our friends and it was soo lovely! 🥰
Had a non alcoholic peach 'Bellini' and an alcohol free beer.. can't complain!
Did have rare steak though 😂

@notyetamumbuttrying now I want a bubble waffle for breakfast
@sausage1990 woohooo look at you, stunner!

So DH's mum had had a bit too much wine last night and started giving me advice on how to look after the baby.... I was like thanks but I'll do it my way 😅

It could only happen to us, so the mobile disco were on the sesh and let's just say we snoozed to drum and base until 4.15am and then we decided to head to the main busy beach by 5am to get a decent parking space on the beach (not allowed to park here between 12midnight and 4am)

Do last night we were DTD in the van (not even rocking) and they all started cheering 🤣🤣🤣 I burst out laughing as it wasn't for us but the timing... 🤣🤣🤣 I told OH he must be doing a great job and his response was "this is the one, they're cheering cos we just conceived" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Lexber 🤣 sounds a fun night! Enjoy your holiday!
@Sausage1990 Hair looks fab! I really must get mine cut...... 🙄

@lexber love that, hilarious, made me chuckle that did!!!

DH and I are up before the in laws so sitting outside with a coffee in their (admittedly very large and nice garden) in the sunshine with a coffee watching the dog have the time of his life. Happy ❤️☕

Morning!!

@Lexber that's great & wouldn't it be great if it was?! Amazing! When's the vans a rocking 🚐❤️🙌🏻

@Sausage1990 you look stunning ❤️

@blackcurrantqueen that sounds lovely, and rare steak yessss!! Yes we have good food (we've got a charcuterie & cheese platter for later!) though the pub we went to last night EVERY 2 seconds came to ask "is everything ok do you need another drink? Have you finished" so they could turn tables as fast as possible it was a really "harried" feeling which wasn't nice 🤨

We are on the beach already (not as early as @Lexber) and X still in his pjs as he refused to get dressed, it was just meant to be to let the dog run a bit but we are enjoying it, hungry though

Ladies I'm annoyed with myself, DS was up in the night at 3.30 and I went for a wee, fight at the end remembering I shouldn't wee as need FMU for CBS. Caught a bit and tested this morning 4 hours later & was hoping for peak but still flashing smile. Now I think I've messed it up or it will be a anovulationary cycle after MC and I'm really frustrated. The lines inside the clear blue yesterday were strong whereas today it was very weak, does anyone else pay attention to the lines inside?

@Kirky658 oh god the advice will NEVER end I'm afraid
