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

@lucyrp like @Franklydear said ask them. HSE guidance across England and Wales are the same, ask them to review your maternity risk assessment and say you need more breaks, they can't refuse 😊 I've done my fair share of maternity risk assessments, completely reasonable request given what I've seen some people ask for with the pregnancy card 😆

@larrythelizard @Justanothercyster @DKDK123 @bez91 @Franklydear @paintfairy @Haiyaa @blackcurrantqueen @Manifestingbaby @Minster2012 @Kiwibabyjourney Thankyou so much girls, I feel fine about it now, one of those things, onto cycle whatever😂

@Amy00 sending you hugs for what you're going through, it can't be easy! Keeping everything crossed🤞🏼 your pup is beautiful!!

@lucyrp take it easy working!! Do the least you can!!

@DKDK123 have a lovely weekend xx

@Juno231 good luck resigning today after the other one yesterday 😬do you have to go in?

@Amy00 do they say that a female pup is loyal to one person, whereas a boy will be anyone's 🤣

@Amy00 I've only had boy dogs so can't help. But with horses its kind of the same maybe? The boys are easier and more reliable. The girls are more loyal and in tune with you if you can get them on side, but god they can be difficult. 🤣
@Dollybird89 breakfast cobs? Where are you from? 🤣 All my friends always pull me up on the cob thing. Like- what?
@Vil10 cycle 762 🤣 that's what it feels like for me.
@DKDK123 I don't think I like the sound of 5.30am. @Kirky658 it looks like the dog is just giving you practice then. It's going to get worse. 🙈🤣

@paintfairy ... Born and bred in Nottinghamshire .. but now up north so it's funny coz noone else says cobs 🤣

@paintfairy hahaha I'm with ya girl, we'll get there💪🏽

Just dropped my sti swab off at the doctors, not sure how long it takes for those results to come back? But the doctor said she'd call me and discuss me booking in my bloods once the results do come back! It feels good to be getting stuff going but I would never have thought when we decided to start trying that I would be in this position! Hopefully we'll be those people who conceive whilst going through investigations!

@Dollybird89 ah, makes complete sense! Because they don't say it any further south either! 🤣 its use is very limited.

@MartyMcShy I'm not on Clomid at the moment. I was for 3 months at the start of the year. I only tested in the second month but it showed that I did ovulate. Didn't get pregnant obviously. I was meant to have a hycosy last Tuesday to investigate if a blockage was the issue but due to late AF and the doctor being on holidays from next week I'll have to wait til next cycle now.

Thanks for the support girls. 23 hours to go 😬

@Haiyaa yes that was me! I've wanted one for years 😊

@bez91@Minster2012 Maybe we should get a boy then, I want one who will give me loads of cuddles and also what if it prefers OH to me?!?! 😱I'd be gutted haha

@lucyrp good luck for your relentless 6 days!! You've been dreading this for soo long I feel like since you got your BFP you were worrying about having to do this! And now it's here!! You'll get through it though 💪just like you've been saying just take it at your own pace lovely xx

@DKDK123 hope you have a lovely weekend away 😊

@Kirky658 your recent dog stories are almost putting me off getting the puppy!! 🤢😂

@Vil10 well done for getting it started! I know none of us expected to still be on this bloody bus by now, but you've got a plan 💪 and yep you read sooo many stories of women getting their BFP waiting for treatment!!

@Dollybird89 omg that had me laughing but I would NOT have wanted to be in your shoes!!! Poor pup too!

@amy00 ooh haven't you waited ages for these puppies? Fingers crossed very tightly for the next scan xxx

@Minster2012 no point going in when your boss is in Africa So I just had an email from the new job's HR saying their onboarding team is running late so I won't get the contract until Mon/Tues now. I'm tempted to resign today anyway, am I crazy? I just keep getting upset that my start date is getting pushed back more and more...

@Franklydear love a bit of caravaggio's chiaroscuro!

@MartyMcShy I'm glad your anxiety is a bit better now. Mines gone next level, worrying about keeping it from ppl and cancelling plans. Meant to visit friends up north this weekend and I've been so scared over cancelling and have made up I'm unwell and I just find it so awkward as I hate lying! I just hope they can forgive me when I do tell them the truth.
We'll have another feb bday in the family as Dh is feb so Aquarius and my mum is an Aquarius too so it would be wonderful if it all worked out!
@Manifestingbaby thank you, I'm my own worse enemy I really am! How are you getting on?
@Vil10 hope you're ok today? Was rooting for you! Ah just seen you said are. Good to hear! Glad investigations are underway now too!
@DKDK123 enjoy your weekend away!
@lucyrp I hope you get something sorted with work, please don't do too much.
@Juno231 ooh that's defo tempting, if you feel absolutely confident that the job is a done deal then resign today! You have that long notice period to negotiate too don't you.

@Juno231 you've had an offer email or similar right direct from them so I think you'd be fine

Morning ladies - ok I just missed it, busy one again 🤦🏽‍♀️

SW first thing (took hours back after yesterday) and lost 4kb so very happy after last weeks 3.5lb gain but very worth it in Cornwall at weekend!! Then a few errands before a nice 10.15am start 🤟🏼 def love the flexibility I have!

7dpo I think and OH said I am very hormonal at the minute - I may have snapped a couple of times for silly things but he was being a knob so all's fair 🤣

Today I am sweating profusely from my arm pits!! Like I stink - good job I'm WFH or I'd stink the office out... think I may have another shower after work, I have already and used deodorant?! I'm not even moving much! Haha

Best try and catch up now I've got my sweaty moan out the way

@minster2012 hey lovely, annual leave day today so having a relaxed day and seeing some friends. Will have a long weekend away from work, no checking emails or phone, and see what happens next week.

@lucyrp good, you take care of yourself and baby!

@vil10 sorry about AF arriving, what a twat, but at least you can start afresh now. Regs the sti results - normally 3 or 4 days, not long. I have lost count of how many times they've tested me for them because of my endo pains 😅

@paintfairy honestly he really is getting us ready 🤣 I'm the expert at falling straight back asleep after getting up with him so far it's progress!

@amy00 don't let our little swine put you off! He's half mini schnauzer so it's his temperament little sod!

@Franklydear @bez91 that's interesting. I'll have to have a re read over my risk assessment as I only skim read it when it was sent to me in first trimester. It does mention extra breaks for "ventilation" so i shall have a look. I have however dragged a chair into my work area today and have sat when I can on it. My feet can't quite keep up with the weight I'm carrying anymore even though I've only really put w stone on it feels like so much more 😰😂

@Kiwibabyjourney Awww that's exciting! Best of luck 💕

@Vil10 very difficult when short staffed but il so my best 😁

@Amy00 yeah honestly it felt months away but now its here 😰 I have 2 6 day weeks and 2 5 dat weeks until I go on maternity which doesn't fill me with much excitement 😩

I’ll catch up later, have been in hospital with ds, he had chest pains and head aches and was sent to children’s a +e, he is fine know but we need Follow up investigations

Hope he is ok @Franklydear, and you, it must have been worrying xx

@Lexber it was, but fully tested all good, investigations to carry on as it is the third time he collapses this year with being just a little unwell and then fine again in a few hours

Thinking of you and him @Franklydear xxxx

Oh no @Franklydear, hope DS is ok and they get to the bottom of it soon. Has it happened at stressful/unnerving times? Could it be panic attacks? Take care 😘

@lexber ive been stinkier since Mar/Apr now I think - I wonder if my testosterone levels went up or something

@Franklydear I hope DS is okay and it's all a false alarm for something v minor xxx

@Minster2012 @becarefuloutthere I did it! She took it very well actually and was nice about it. I didn't get a chance to speak much about notice periods but I really doubt she'll let me leave early.

@Kirky658 little swine !!! That made me lol

@Juno231 glad you got your notice in I'm sure deep down she's raging and just hiding it 😅 Given your notice period is 3 months, even if this new job fell through I'm sure you could find another within 3 months so definitely a good decision to get it in now rather than wait any longer. Have you got holidays left you can book in to get a break before the new job starts?

@Franklydear hope all is ok with your son!

Joining in! Not much to report on bodily functions. Merely week 6 and mild but constant nausea.

However! I have just passed a series of tests and am officially a fully fledged, funded Forex trader! It's something I've been aggressively working on since my maternity leave back in 2017 and it feels surreal. Generally don't miss drinking, but I'd SO have a couple of bottles champagne right now 😂

@Lexber we did think panic maybe, but you have to check it out anyway, gp phone appointment asked if everything is well in school and friendships, so clearly thinking on the same lines, she’ll do a physical examination on Monday and take it from there to decide what test to undertake @Juno231 we are hoping is just a bad case of nerves at the feeling unwell point, his heart looks ok which was the immediate danger, so that’s a relieve
