Breaking banjos, poking boobs & getting promoted πŸ™ŒπŸ»it’s TTC bus 44

Wow that last one was a quick one! The bus driver nearly missed the bus!🏎🚌

Here is the bus where anything goes, and chat isn’t just TTC it’s anything. Ranting very much encouraged to her things off your (are they sore boobs?!) chest. The last bus had loads of work promotions too & we’ve still got interviews so hopefully it’s a lucky bus in more ways than just making babies.

We are here to help and support each other & anything goes. We’ve had losses, heartache & some super fertile short ride passengers so welcome all.

The price of your bus pass is an embarrassing story please, doesn’t have to go be TTC related but can you beat breaking a guy’s banjo in a BJ or whilst DTD?! πŸ€žπŸ»πŸ™ŒπŸ»

And if you see mention of my blog then blame these guys, but I need to carry on with it it, I’ve been lazy! #shamelessplug

Thanks for all the support ladies feeling loved😘

To add insult to injury on a really awful day, I found out i have missed out on my sales target by Β£1500 - which would have been a bonus of about Β£250 - and our TV has broken. Won't work at all. Oh and the new earbuds I got for DH's birthday last week? The dog chewed them to pieces while we nipped to the shop. Time to call it a day I think.

So unfortunately I can't take early maternity leave as I want to take a full year off. If I finish now I'd have to go back next July, and there's a huge overseas work event end of August i would want to avoid like the plague. I'm not getting support from work at the moment as my boss doesn't have kids, doesn't understand being pregnant. I explained last week to her how exhausted I am and how I couldn't take on another departments work as well as my own and she was not happy with me at all about it but obviously couldn't say anything about it. She's on leave this week so I plan to speak to her about the issues next week. My main issue is that it's other departments causing me stress mostly, because they can't do their jobs right. So there's very little that can be changed.

Toying with the idea of discussing how stressed I am with her and asking if I can take a couple of 'mental health days' to recuperate. DH finishes work in 2 weeks for the summer so at least I'll have some company at home then.

@Franklydear the love island girls are defying gravity again with the swimwear πŸ™„why can't we defy gravity?!

OP posts:
Franklydear · 30/06/2021 21:55

@Minster2012 the defies gravity in this house is full cups, preferably with front fastening, I don’t know what sorcery you are watching ( I have Google the pics, not watched the episodes, yet.

Franklydear · 30/06/2021 21:58

@Minster2012 the only thing that defies gravity.....

Vil10 · 30/06/2021 21:59

@2020mission ohhh okay that makes sense! Just checked my blood forms and progesterone isn't on, so I'm definitely going to double check that with the doctor! Thankyou x

@Justanothercyster I'm hoping but I'm 98% sure it'll be negative, going to collect fmu then put it to the side until the tests come, hopefully they'll arrive early!!

@becarefuloutthere I'm going to question it when they ring me with my chlamydia results! I mean I'm pretty sure it'll be negative but then at least I'll know either way x

@paintfairy ahhhh how exciting!! Good luck!! Exactly, it's annoying pissing on the money basicallyπŸ˜‚ but at least I'll know!

@larrythelizard Thankyou!! 3 days late now!

@Minster2012 think it's definitely the covid affecting it, it's just so annoying how I had the pre af symptoms and then they've just disappeared!!

@kaylsd Thankyou lovely x

So which lads in love island does everyone fancy then

Vil10 · 30/06/2021 22:00

@Kirky658 ohhh hun, I'm so sorry you're feeling so down and you're having so much shit, please rest up, sending hugs❀️

Franklydear · 30/06/2021 22:09

@Kirky658 can you make yourself the equivalent of advent calendar to help you through it ?

Minster2012 · 30/06/2021 22:42

A front fastening you say?! I like that @Franklydear

@Vil10 I like Jake, it is make I've decided. But that's on personality. He has some 🀣. But awful teeth. I'd be blinded πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

Oh darling @Kirky658 that sounds really shit. I'd self certify for stress & therefore worry for the baby. You could always then actually speak to your doctor & get signed off for another week maybe? Depends on your sick pay policy vs the benefit of having the august off next year I guess instead of going off sooner. The only a few weeks left?

Minster2012 · 30/06/2021 22:42

House looks lovely @Minster2012 lots to get your teeth stuck into! Exciting times! Hope your DS loved exploring last night, garden looks perfect for doggies and kids!

@larrythelizard all the luck in the world
For you today, go smash it girl! πŸ’ͺ🏼

@Kirky658 sorry work is crappy, hope you get something sorted soon. If it's that bad I'd start mat leave early, you can always take 9 months to plan your escape out of the other event on your return 😊

Still not watching Love Island πŸ˜‚

Hmm woke up with sore boobs this morning, took a FRER. There is a second line but it's not big and it's not fat, prob a chem so just going to carry on as nothing has happened.

Kirky658 · 01/07/2021 06:39

@franklydear DH loves the advent calendar idea, it's a go
@minster2012 yeah just have to see how it goes with the boss next week then go from there I think. Got a day's annual leave tomorrow at least.
@vil10 my fellow mcfly lover 😘
@bez91 'carrying on like nothing has happened' I love that!

larrythelizard · 01/07/2021 07:05

Oh @bez91 that's a sly one you slipped in there. You're a decent dpo aren't you?!?! 🀞🏼🀞🏼🀞🏼

And for you @Vil10, hope the postman comes sooner rather than later!

@Kirky658 have you remembered you accrue annual leave whilst on maternity? Just checking you've considered it all!

Watched a bit of love episode, not sure what I think about any of them just yet!!

I'm feeling a bit ropey today but daily LFT is negative so assume no covid and just whatever cold DS has this time!

bez91 · 01/07/2021 07:30

@larrythelizard not really sure when I ovulated, based on averages somewhere between 11dpo-17dpo. Who knows, I'm not being optimistic. What time is your interview today? πŸ’ͺ🏼

Manifestingbaby · 01/07/2021 07:37

Good morning all. I'm eventually taking my seat after sulking my way through af πŸ˜‚ cd6 and time to start eagerly awaiting fw. God it's a never ending rollercoaster! In good news after much chasing I have my fertility clinic follow up appointment!!! And an apology, there was some cock up where the doctor didn't put down that I needed another appointment πŸ™„ unfortunately quite a wait for it though, not for 2 months!
I have been reading along in bits and pieces so think I'm caught up but will jump in here rather than reply to week old stuff, know that I was with you all in spirit! I did see a couple of bfps though so congratulations @KiwiTTC1st and @MartyMcShy πŸ˜€ on the iui would you have had to pay that for each try or was that for a few cycles? Either way so glad it worked gor you first go. @bez91 I'm not sure how to react to your post, but I'll quietly hope for you x

@Vil10 🀞🀞🀞 woke this morning and my first thought was 'oh vil's testing!' πŸ˜‚ we get so invested! Hope the post comes early.

@Minster2012 exciting about the house although bittersweet. Let yourself feel all the feelings x

@becarefuloutthere how are you feeling? Have you had your scan with the clinic yet?

@Kirky658 sorry you are stressed. Can you just care less and be a useless employee for a few weeks? πŸ˜‚

larrythelizard · 01/07/2021 07:48

Ok well I'll remain cautiously excited and hopeful for you @bez91, faint line would be normal for anything under 14dpo!

Interview is at 1pm, negative LFTs this morning so DS is off to Granny's which will make life easier today!

Juno231 · 01/07/2021 07:50

@vil10 like the others said 7-9dpo is the key for day 21 tests. So the cycle I had mine done I ovulated CD17 and 7dpo fell on a Sunday so I had them done on CD25 for reference :) Be warned that the NHS app can be a faff to set up!

@paintfairy yay for IUI! I'm just excited shizzle is happening

@Minster2012 love that house so much - especially today after the house next door had a party all night (as in, they're still going!)

@MartyMcShy Feb is a great due date! It'll be an awesome Aquarius - like me Grin

@Katiekattty ah I'm glad the scan went well - I can really picture baba lying like that!

Franklydear · 01/07/2021 07:52

Morning
Happy to help @Kirky658
@bez91 will be holding my breath, what’s the plan?
@larrythelizard got all confidence on you, yes for neg lft
@Minster2012 yes, same hooks as the back, but a long row of 6/7, unwired too, soooo comfy and proper support, I put on a normal one the other day and felt caged

bez91 · 01/07/2021 08:34

Thanks ladies πŸ’• it's only just visible so who knows, feeling pessimistic. @Franklydear no plan as such will prob test again Saturday then take a suitcase worth of tampax to the wedding we're going away for next week!

@larrythelizard yessss to the negative LFT, much needed respite at granny's so you can crack on

Juno231 · 01/07/2021 08:38

@bez91 sneaking that one in are we! Tentative congrats and hopeful for it being a sticky bean xxx

Minster2012 · 01/07/2021 08:48

@bez91 wait what?! 🀞🏻🀞🏻🀞🏻come on line!

@larrythelizard good luck for today, step one done with the LFT 🀞🏻

@Juno231 who has a party on a Wednesday night?!! What!

@Vil10 🀞🏻

OP posts:
Juno231 · 01/07/2021 08:55

@Minster2012 this is good actually - the last few times it's always been on a Monday night!

Ha so my colleague is planning resigning today which means I could be resigning just a day or two after him. Bricking it as boss lady will not be impressed/might take it out on me as I'm second.

Vil10 · 01/07/2021 08:58

@Minster2012 I like Jake too, and Brad's eyes and accent just do it for me

@Kirky658 hope you're feeling better today x

@larrythelizard I've got my pee collected in the pot, just waiting on the frer!!

@Manifestingbaby hahaha I love how invested we all are! I'll definitely keep you all updated x

@Juno231 okay fab Thankyou, progesterone isn't in the list of what they're testing on my paperwork which is weird so I'm going to ask about that

@bez91 keeping everything crossed for you!!🀞🏼

Franklydear · 01/07/2021 09:20

@Vil10 we are definitely invested
@bez91 that sounds like a good plan, testing on Saturday and preparing for the worst while hoping for the best, I can get on board with that, what? did you think we would let this passed unnoticed?

bez91 · 01/07/2021 09:24

Thanks ladies you're the best πŸ’•

@Juno231 wow shitstorm going down at your place then πŸ˜† hope she takes it well 😬

@Franklydear well I was hoping so, might pop a photo of the poor line on IG later, I'm not getting excited. How fun is TTC after MC πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

Franklydear · 01/07/2021 09:28

@bez91 I know, I know, but you know we’re here for the good and the bad
@Juno231 hope you don’t get too much heat, when bossboy is frazzled I do my best to be happy and cheerful, drives him mad, I also ask him if he has done things I know he had no chance of doing and calmly watch him make excuses
