Breaking banjos, poking boobs & getting promoted 🙌🏻it’s TTC bus 44

[Minster2012]

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?! 🤞🏻🙌🏻

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

@Vil10 longer really. I rang July. Finally got the last blood test and referral in Jan. 🤣 Honestly- useless. Sorry about the bfn. Talk about sods law.
@Amy00 oohhh what is the pup? Cute! Sorry about the scan. I hope it's better news at the next one.
@larrythelizard 🤣 beyond hope over here i think.

We need to decide whether we want a girl or a boy puppy! I was thinking girl to balance out the numbers (we have two boy cats who will be THRILLED) but then the owners said boys tend to be more chill 🤷🏻‍♀️ it's a rare breed called a stabyhoun, we are getting them at 8 weeks which will be early august! 🐶

Oh shit, sorry about the BFN @Vil10. AF sure knows how to make a dramatic entrance.

Hope everything goes ok with your next scan @Amy00. Did you say you wanted a stabyhoun before or was that someone else? Definitely seen them mentioned on the thread.

@Amy00 I hope everyone goes well for you. Keeping everything crossed.

My long lost period showed up today. 9-10 days later than expected. I guess it's more of a withdrawal bleed than a period but you know what I mean. It also explains why I had an ice cream and maltesers for lunch. Haha.

It's helpful because my poor husband doesn't understand that it is not possible for me to be pregnant when I didn't ovulate so this will be useful as he thinks I must be preggers if my period is so late. Poor man.

Anyway I went to a therapy session yesterday evening where I cried for a full hour and I feel much better today. Thanks for all the support ladies!

I wondered why you lot were so quiet as I kept refreshing my "I'm on" tab but I hadn't even taken my seat on the bus 🤨🤣🙈

@somatronic ❤️❤️❤️

@Amy00 your head must be all over the place right now, wish I could offer more than just a virtual hug. Shall keep everything crossed it was late implantation. Exciting news on the pup front tho 😊 I've never heard of that breed before but looks adorable from the pic 🥰

@larrythelizard what a lovely surprise for your friend 😊 gives us all hope!

Glad to hear you felt better after your therapy session yesterday @somatronic

I've had to quick skim read as my brain is fried but yay to the bfps! And sorry about the bfn 😢

God what a day! Started out well (not) main road out of my village was closed due to accident, had to divert... Then onto A1 only to get halfway and it be closed for another accident.. 45min diversion/gridlock .. got breakfast cobs for my dad and me... Only not able to eat it coz of his live in carer babysitting so I had to keep my dog on lead (she's very excitable) so ended up feeding the dog my yummy bacon cob that went cold and soggy 😫... Had a nice visit with mother in law... Then off home.... Usual trip from MIL takes 2hours... today 3 + 1/2 hours! And to top it off . Because I gave the dog the mornings breakfast .. she jumped into the boot and had diarrhea all over!! The smell was horrific .. I was almost puking whilst driving as I had nowhere to stop at the time, eventually got to a layby and used some old rags to try and scoop up as much as I could and douse the rest in my perfume .. the remainder of my journey I must have looked hilarious gagging constantly then squirting perfume every 5 mins! Then I burnt pizza when I got home 😭 today was not my day! ... Can't believe the dog pooped whilst I was driving 🤣🤣🤣 it's funny now but omg I was ready for rehoming her 🤣

@larrythelizard following your post on Monday sayinf because you already have a child anything other than bloods would have to be private, I have DS who's 6 but we still got referred to the fertility clinic before my BFP ??

@kaylsd your dog is soooo cute 🥰

@KiwiTTC1st others have probably said as I'm replying from Monday but most doctors don't actually confirm with bloods or anything anymore! First thing you do is book yourself in with the midwife which you can do anytime from 5 weeks. Seems mad that they don't actually "know" you're pregnant they just have to believe you 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Minster2012 me for love island too! 🏝 also watching it on catch up the next day though as I'm usually in bed and asleep by 8pm at the moment 🤣 having a late one tonight 🤪

My first CD was either ABBA or Elvis which my grandad had burned from his computer for me😂🤣

@Sausage1990 hope you're doing okay lovely xxx

@Minster2012 you were right it is @Hopeful110 !! I was so confused too😂 x

@Juno231 your boss sounds awful! Similar to mine. Many bullying and mental health complaints but she's still here because she keeps hitting targets 🙄🤨

Please everyone pray for me I'm relaxing as much as I can this evening as I wait to start my 6 days in a row on my feet all day from
Tomorrow until next Wednesday 😩😩😩

Oh @lucyrp that's not good, skimp as much as you can and don't feel guilty about it, fuck them

@dollybird89 christ what a day, gives mine a run for its money yesterday!!! Dogs ey!

@lucyrp you be bloody careful Mrs and watch what you're doing. Do the bare minimum you can get away with x

@Amy00 fellow Craig David first CD friends 😎 oh darl, it's so tough being in that place after inconclusive news and the next milestone. Hoping for you for Saturday! Puppy looks gorgeous, never heard/seen the breed before.

@Somatronic ice cream and malteasers sounds an ideal AF lunch! Good the therapy session made you feel better this morning 😊

Bloodyhell @Dollybird89 what a traumatic day!

Wow what a catch-up and what a week!

Been head to the desk all week and exhausted by the evenings 🤣 so hardly been on.

Congrats to the BFPS, love to the BFNS and balls to the shitty workplaces!

6DPO here and my tits are throbbing 🤣 after a 12 hour day at the kitchen table and closing off month end I'm laid in the bath enjoying some alone time and have just read the whole bus... now I'm more tired than when I started!!

@Vil10 I'm raging for you!! Stupid AF 😂 good you've got the OPKs for next time for the bloods!

@Amy00 thank you, did nothing differently except replaced the VERY old tube of fertility lube stuff and used progesterone from the positive test. I will keep everything crossed for your repeat scan Saturday!

@Franklydear banksy is def pop culture, bossboy is an idiot 😂

@Minster2012 The new house is absolutely beautiful 🥰

@larrythelizard Good news on the interview, fingers crossed it went well and that job will soon be yours. Lovely news on your friend after IVF 😍

@MartyMcShy Congratulations, we must be very close together! 🥰

@DKDK123 smashing it on the weight loss! 😍

@bez91 completely get it, will be manifesting positive energy in your direction 😍

@Tornado2Inc just a little check in, how you doing lady 💗

@Lexber I'm hoping those achy boobs are a good sign 😂

All good here, DD is 2 on Saturday 😭 so I've just got a whole house to tidy in the mean time!
Otherwise okay, still taking the anti sickness tablets which are definitely making a difference I notice if I'm due to take one.
DD is still waking at 5 but hopefully it's getting more sporadic you'll all be glad to know 😂

@blackcurrantqueen @Juno231 I thought that, specially with the nurses heroes one, he's been all over the news, not like I was talking about Caravaggio, he's been trying to hit a nerve, cos I got so good at ignoring him that sometimes I don't say anything more than hello to him in the whole week

How far along are you @blackcurrantqueen? I really hope your dd will start sleeping later soon!

I'm 8wk5d now @becarefuloutthere. This pregnancy is a bit different to my dd as I'm way more nauseous. I'm knackered but was like that. And I'm the same with the anxiety. It is awful. I get how you feel. I had counselling last year for mine & it's a bit better now but with this it just seems to be there all the time.

@Somatronic, sorry to hear about af. Are you taking clomid to bring on ovulation? The iui was expensive and that was for 1 cycle @Manifestingbaby. Ivf is much more expensive here-about 5 grand per cycle. It's a big money making business.

@bez91, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Thanks for the congrats ladies. I know some of you are in the same boat ttc #2 for a while now. We never thought we'd have trouble after dd so we were really surprised when every month it didn't happen, then really down & felt like crap. It's tough coz it does start to take a toll on your relationship too and that's whether you're ttc #1 or 2. I don't think we fought as much in 10 years as we did in the last year.

@Juno231 an Aquarius sounds great! We don't have any feb birthdays in our families so that'll be nice.

@DKDK123 i know! I had actually phoned a few times, just got someone competent eventually 😂 enjoy your birthday and worry about the lbs next week 😉 ugh sorry about af being all over the place.

@becarefuloutthere I'm sorry you are feeling anxious, you have waited so long for this I just want to tell you to enjoy it but that's obviously not helpful. Not long until the scan at least x

Ah @Vil10 that's cruel timing! Sorry 😞

@larrythelizard well done on tbe interview. Thats great about your friend.

@Amy00 sorry to read your update and that you have an anxious wait to your next scan. Really hoping you get good news x

@Somatronic glad af has at least shown up. Sounds like therapy was productive. Can't beat a good cry!

@blackcurrantqueen go easy on tbe cleaning, what's a few cobwebs! 🤣

@MartyMcShy gosh that's expensive! Glad it worked first go. Hope you and OH can put the stress behind you now and enjoy the prize 😀

I'm nicely tipsy after a night with some friends. Will be regretting this in the morning...!

@Somatronic 💕💕💕 sending you love and support

Hmm interesting @lucyrp I will have a look at criteria in my trust - you're Wales aren't you so it might be different? Good idea to check though!

I was going to say more but I'm about to fall asleep so night all!

Oh and yes @Franklydear - pop culture!

Oh @Dollybird89 what a day you had yesterday! 🙈🤯 Hope today runs far more smoothly!

Sending you energy vibes @lucyrp sounds like you're going to need it over the next few days! Hope your OH is ready with a foot rub and bath run for you after work.

@blackcurrantqueen I can sympathise with the early starts, DS is 5-5.30am at the moment, think the light mornings has a lot to do with it too even with the blackout curtains I think he can just sense its light, opens the curtains and exclaims "Mr Sunshine is awake!" 😴 It's not like he's lying it really is light at 5am toddler logic means it's time to get up as the moon is away. Your DD shares the same birthday as me, happy birthday to her for tomorrow 😊🍰

I'm signing off for the weekend ladies, spending some quality time with DH & DS having a weekend away to relax. Only DS is so excited all I heard at 3.30am was "Mummy, mummy, did you remember to pack my x,y,x" as he proceeded to list off all the toys he wanted to take 😴🤦‍♀️ so a very early start for me while DH has been snoring blissfully unaware. That has just nominated him for both driving and over excited but tired and cranky toddler duties today then! Have a good weekend everyone, hope to log in to see some bfps on Monday if anyone's testing 🤞

@dkdk123 have a great weekend!

I had a wake up call from the dog at 1:30am and again at 3:30am last night - looked like he'd seen something in the garden. I swear he's acting out as it's as if he knows something is up and the baby is due soon...

Morning ladies,

@Amy00 there are a lot of ladies who have had good stories from situations like yours, I've got everything crossed for you 🤞🏻

@Vil10 urgh seriously flo? Bitch

@DKDK123 have a lovely time!

@Kirky658 what a lovely start, are you feeling better? Decided to take any time off?

@Dollybird89 today is a new day!!

@Franklydear yeah I definitely will be, I've been sitting down whenever I can but there's nowhere to sit down so I've been sitting on random objects 🤣

@Kirky658 don't worry I'm pretty sure I've been doing thag for the last couple of weeks, we're really short staffed too so I'm already doing the jobs of like 3 people so go at my own pace and if the customers don't like it they can go somewhere else, im not making myself ill for them x

@larrythelizard I don't know if it makes a difference but I am in wales but the fertility clinic I was referred to was a hospital in England so🤔 were pretty close to the border so always crossing for stuff like hospitals etc. I don't think we would have got IVF or anything funded even though its OH first child but we were put forward for more tests past the bloods at the gp so definitely check ☺️

@DKDK123 energy is very low and rare at the moment so yes definitely needed 😅 I will for sure be soaking my feet in nice cold water when I get home from work every night, I will probably get cankles too oh the joys

@lucyrp not checked in wales, but in England it is illegal not to provide a place to sit at work for a pregnant woman, my boss back then tried it and my doctor wrote him a very stern letter that he would report him and the company to xyz bodies, I got my seating arrangement the same day he got the letter, check it out

@lucyrp I called up my GP this week and the midwife called me up yesterday and we've booked my first appointment for the beginning of August when I'll be about 9 weeks pregnant!! It's feeling so real now! ❤️❤️

So sorry about AF arriving @Vil10 What an absolute bitch! Why must our bodies mess with our heads like that 😓😓
