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

@franklydear hope DS is on the mend soon and you find out what it is.

@juno231 🀣

So my 'bestie' was meant to be coming to visit me this afternoon for a brew, but she's texted to say she isn't coming due to a positive covid case in their school!

Juno231 · 02/07/2021 16:36

@Tornado2Inc wow amazing! Will you do it solo? or for a bank/asset manager? Congrats!

@2020mission thanks and actually another competitor asked me for an interview today so yes hopefully I would be able to get something else - I just wouldn't want that pressure lol.

Tornado2Inc · 02/07/2021 16:42

@Juno231 solo, as it's very high frequency. I'm normally in and out within a day or two.

Lexber · 02/07/2021 16:55

Nice in @Juno231 I bet you feel relieved now it's done?!

Bless him @Franklydear even if it is something as simple as that, it's still very scary and not nice! Hopefully they will get to the bottom of it all and find what helps and fingers crossed it doesn't happen again. Take time for you to have a minute and process it after the event as the kids can really scare us!

Feel absolutely wiped out. 8dpo not 7, sweating in my pits, tired as hell (Altho long month end) and had serious lightning vag earlier. Just having an hour chilling on the sofa with some cramping.

Refuse to symptom spot as last month I'm sure it was a CP now I look back as had all the signs of implantation and then bam all gone and AF appeared. It is what it is.

I've been Googling if it's safe to go on rides at Alton Towers at 10dpo πŸ€¦πŸ½β€β™€οΈ as we are taking kids this weekend, I didn't realise I'd be so far into the 2WW. From what I've found seen before a BFP I should be fine as the biggest worries are placenta abruption kind of injuries and if I had implanted it's too early to cause harm - please advise otherwise if anyone knows anything I'm missing! Xx

Franklydear · 02/07/2021 17:08

@Lexber yes, you’re quite right, I chose not to go back to work for the afternoon, I could have for a decent chunk, but rather be home on the sofa with him, I am also refusing to symptom spot, que sera, sera, I think you can go on your rides

Lexber · 02/07/2021 17:36

@Franklydear well in my mind I'm not pregnant unless I get a line and 10dpo is too early to test and like the others say "drink til your pink" as I don't drink I'm gonna "ride fine til there's a line"
🀣🀣🀣

You made the right decision, sometimes we don't give ourself time to process things and later that day/tomorrow it hits us. Especially when it's scary stuff ((((hugs))))

becarefuloutthere · 02/07/2021 17:36

@Franklydear hope your DS is ok! What a worry for you both.
@Juno231 I'm glad she took it well! Must feel like a weight lifted!!
@Tornado2Inc hey how was your hol!? Week 6 for me too and feel the same, along with cramps. Omg well done on passing those tests that's amazing hun πŸ‘πŸΎ celebratory glass of sparkling water with a straw 😜
@Lexber def go on the rides! Have a great time 😊

Lexber · 02/07/2021 18:53

This made me laugh too much...

bez91 · 02/07/2021 18:58

Oh no hope your DS is ok @Franklydear πŸ’• that's such a worry I hope you get some answers one way or another.

Yesss @Juno231 bet it's a relief that it's done for the weekend. Crack open the champers 🍾 I need to do my CV again this weekend for this internal move I want, they've changed everything back to CV applications until interview stage πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

@Lexber oh yes go on all the rides! Lightning vag you say? I'm still having lightning clitoris it's very uncomfortable πŸ˜†

Work mad today, thank god it's the weekend. Testing again tomorrow to see what's what

Lexber · 02/07/2021 20:11

How many dpo are you @bez91 ?

Aww just seen on Instagram Stacey Solomon is having a girl πŸ’– bless her they look so happy! A pink after the blues !!

Minster2012 · 02/07/2021 21:16

Catching up after busy day!

@Franklydear is everything ok with DS?

@Kirky658 hope you have a lovely relaxing weekend

@lucyrp I'm sure @Franklydear is tight about a chair? You could always take a sneaky couple sick days off?

@Juno231 πŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸΎπŸ₯‚yessssss so pleased and especially if she wasn't a πŸ†wooooo that's awesome but yeah you gotta plan for the full 3 months, do you have holiday to take as part (other than accrued within?) @2020mission is totally right, you could easily find a new job during the time so no issues I saw

@larrythelizard how did your interview go yesterday darling?

@polkadotpixie how was your first few days?!

@Tornado2Inc congrats! How long does it take? I always thought it was a bit "fly by night"

@Lexber oooo Alton towers!! Are you going to test before in case? Personally I wouldn't go on many rides, but that's cos I've have 2 MCs including one with a subchorionic bleed which is usually the embryo moving from the implanted spot so I personally would avoid as I consider myself high risk. However. Most normal ladies no issues I'd say πŸ™„plus that PICTURE IS HILARIOUS 🀣

@bez91 get that cv done!!

Fat Friday here, had the biggest fish n chips after DH poo poo'd cod green veg & cous cous. I smashed it 🀣

Vil10 · 02/07/2021 21:17

@Amy00 you're so right, I bet when we all started on here we thought it would be a short journey, I feel so naive nowπŸ˜‚

@Kirky658 I'm just glad covid didn't delay it for too long! Ohh really?? That's not long at all, I thought it would be like 2 weeks, obviously I'm not worried about thoseπŸ˜‚

@Franklydear hope your DS is okay lovely xx

@Minster2012 I had fish and chips too, walked up to the pub for it and a few ciders! In bed now watching love island ready for a day out with my friends tomorrow!

Kirky658 · 02/07/2021 21:22

@lexber I wouldn't worry about the rides, enjoy! Baby is so so so tiny at that point it's so unlikely to make any difference. You'll only be about 30 mins away from me at alton towers hehe.

@minster2012 thank you ps your takeaway looked banging

@vil10 yep not long at all, they're very hot on with STIs it would appear πŸ˜‚ just a pain you have to go through it all.

I have spent so much money over the last few days on baby stuff it's becoming a real problem 😜

Minster2012 · 02/07/2021 21:32

@Kirky658 slippery slope babe slippery slope 🀣

@Vil10 in bed already watching it! I'm jealous, I'm watching on tablet whilst DH watches rugby league πŸ™„

Dollybird89 · 02/07/2021 22:33

Hope your all ok after ds being unwell@franklydear

Cm watchers i need your expertise.. what's the best sort to achieve to hint at ovulation? ... I'm at a watery? stretchy clear/white stage ... No idea what it means 🀣 need to know what to look out for ☺️

Minster2012 · 02/07/2021 22:35

@clolo I have everything crossed for your embryos tomorrow 🀞🏻🀞🏻🀞🏻

And @Amy00 not long left & we are all rooting for that baby 🀞🏻😘

@blackcurrantqueen happy birthday to the sassy pants tomorrow and there was another birthday too, was it @bez91?

Just in case it gets hectic tomorrow wanted to make sure you know I'm thinking of you guys

Btw @bez91 how's that line??

OP posts:
Minster2012 · 02/07/2021 22:37

@Dollybird89 watery & stretchy/clear egg white is the most fertile πŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸ€žπŸ»

If you are like me then download Femometer & you can put pictures of it πŸ€ͺ

Seeeee I'm dead clash I told you

Manifestingbaby · 02/07/2021 22:42

Grrr couldn't get on mumsnet today!
@becarefuloutthere I'm good thanks, bit unenthusiastic πŸ˜‚ I've decided to do opks this cycle for the first time since last year. Mosfor the pure novelty of seeing a second line for a change πŸ˜‚ the anxiety is understandable after waiting so long for it, just try not to let it take over x

@Franklydear hope ds is ok

@Juno231 yay for handing in your notice! That must feel like a weight off.

@bez91 good luck for tomorrow 🀞

@Amy00 will be thinking of you too, hope all goes well x

bez91 · 02/07/2021 22:45

@Lexber not sure as not tracked this month, must be at least 12dpo today πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

@Dollybird89 yesss what @Minster2012 said!

@Minster2012 not my birthday no πŸ˜† think @blackcurrantqueen DD and maybe @DKDK123 this weekend from memory πŸ™ˆ errrm not sure on the line haven't tested today, will do in the morning. Not sure what to think being cautiously pessimistic 😬 weekend filled of housey stuff for you?

Asked DH to sort the car insurance out last week because the policy for my car is in his name and vice versa, he forgot so I've been driving round uninsured for 5 days πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ to be fair he's been insanely busy on call out and I couldn't sort it as in his name but mannn lucky escape!

Manifestingbaby · 02/07/2021 22:47

@Minster2012 think it was @DKDK123 with the weekend birthday? Did not know you could put pictures of cm in femometer! πŸ™ˆ i feel like that would be tmi even just between myself and the app 🀣 yes @Dollybird89 egg white cm is the holy grail for ovulation.

@minster2012 thanks! Not holding my breath this time round though as OH has treated himself to quite a few pints today after a long hard week and I'm on my second bulmers .. doubt I'll get any πŸ† but here's hoping 🀣 I've got the app just not got round to putting any data in yet..

@clolo good luck for embryos!!

bez91 · 02/07/2021 23:01

@Manifestingbaby thank you πŸ’•ahahaha I don't use that app but wow πŸ˜‚ didn't know that was a thing uploading CM photos. Forget revenge porn. Revenge CM photos πŸ™ˆ

Dollybird89 · 02/07/2021 23:02

@manifestingbaby I'm with you on tmi with pictures on the app.... What if the app used them elsewhere?? I'd be mortified 🀣

larrythelizard · 02/07/2021 23:14

I'm drunk again - on a hen do this weekend, hen threw up a couple of hours ago and rain forced the rest of us to bed (we're glamping).

@Lexber lolling at your sweaty nightmare. My view is that if you're going to have a CP
or an 'early' (or 6-10 weeks) MC is because of a genetic thing (unless you go and do a load of Coke of whatever) so whatever you do is going to have no impact. I went zip wiring and on the rapids at centre parcel when 6 weeks pregnant with DS and all was fine whereas I had a MMC at 8 weeks before that when I did everything 'right'. At 10dpo l wouldn't worry about it but you have to do what feels right for you.

@Dollybird89 stretchy and clear is where it's at, can mean ovulation

@lucyrp literally sit on anything you ca LB find!!

Oh goodness @Franklydear I really hope your DS is ok, and that you are too xx

Whoop for handing in your notice @Juno231, onwards and upwards!!

Ooh this sounds impressive and cool @Tornado2Inc, congrats!

Argh annoying @Kirky658, I live for bestie. chats!

Happy birthday to your lovely girl @blackcurrantqueen!

Good luck tomorrow @clolo for your little embryos, @bez91 for your line and @Amy00 for good scan news!

Ive got through to the final interview with the MD, waiting for a date next week and was talking package with the recruiter which is a bit scary...might actually have got myself a new job that I never knew I wanted (but now I really want it!!)
