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

@bez91 YES!!! Logged in here just to check how it went and so glad it resolved itself! Incredibly lucky if that's what happened! Great news!

Vil10 · 07/07/2021 10:12

Quick one girls, I'm okay doing the sti swabs when I'm on my period aren't I??

Sunbird24 · 07/07/2021 10:16

Oh @Vil10, that friend really needs to sort out some contraception, silly woman. I’m not surprised you were upset. It’s good you’ve told your mum, sounds like she’ll be a good support to have on your side

larrythelizard · 07/07/2021 10:18

Fucking idiot boss @Juno231. Hopefully you can just work to rule (once contract signed etc) and literally just work 9-5 and not a moment longer?!

@paintfairy 🀞🏼🀞🏼🀞🏼🀞🏼 that is all

Oh @Vil10 no wonder that upset you. Your friend sounds a bit of a shit. Pleased you've got your mum in your corner too x

paintfairy · 07/07/2021 10:21

@Vil10 I don't think I could still be saying nothing. 🀬 I'm not sure annoy the sti swabs. They come back really fast so I just waited until AF was over.

Juno231 · 07/07/2021 10:25

@vil10 I think I'd wait until after AF is done. As for your friend - I'd definitely have blown up at her by this point so you have the patience of an angel!

@larrythelizard yeah it's how much I want to be doing between 9-5... I'm just not looking forward to more anxiety about being behind even though I know logically there's no point worrying.

Kirky658 · 07/07/2021 10:50

@vil10 I'd wait till AF is over as it can disrupt the pH down there and potentially skew the results. X

Franklydear · 07/07/2021 11:02

Blood on pad now, not much but, cd 1 then, DD would have been at the end of July so we've gone the whole 9 months without gettin pregnant again

Manifestingbaby · 07/07/2021 11:32

Glad you are ok @bez91

@Vil10 you have more patience than I do, I don't think I'd have been able to hold my tongue with your friend.

@Franklydear sorry about cd1

@paintfairy ov early too and have thought the same about eggs not being mature. However I also struggled to conceive before when my cycles were on average 10days longer than now so think I'm just generally infertile πŸ˜† hopefully for you that is the issue and iui solves it.

Kirky658 · 07/07/2021 11:58

@franklydear I hope you are OK ❀️

Vil10 · 07/07/2021 12:09

@Sunbird24 I said this to her, but apparently she takes the pill same time everyday? I don't think she does, I think she'll probably be quite forgetful with it! My mum is such an amazing support, I'm so glad I've told her!

@larrythelizard it really winds me up, because it's just not fair, when I finally get pregnant and I tell her how long we were trying for, along side all her abortions, I hope she feels guilty and apologises

@paintfairy I really don't know how I managed to bite my tongue, I just sent a really vague reply then put my phone down for the afternoon!

@paintfairy @Juno231 @Kirky658 yeah good idea, I've waited, I'm on day 5 now anyway so should be my last day, I'll give it until tomorrow because we're away camping Friday-Sunday so don't want to leave it another week! Thanks girls x

@Juno231 I usually don't have the patience but I think I just couldn't be bothered explaining, so I just left my phone and had a chilled afternoon!

@Franklydear hope you're okay❀️

@Manifestingbaby I honestly have no idea how I did, usually I don't but I've gone through the emotions of it the last 3 times so I feel like I expected it to happen again

Juno231 · 07/07/2021 12:12

@Franklydear that's a terrible milestone, I hope you're okay :(

@paintfairy although they say anything in the double digits is meant to be enough FP wise?

Okay just read my new employee handbook and I get 26 week's fully paid mat leave! I just don't know when I'll be eligible for it as that wasn't mentioned. There's also 5 days fertility treatment leave and a company nursery (rated outstanding)! On top of the gym and lots of other perks like a flipping concierge service?? You have to pay for that one though but lol imagine having someone who could plan your holidays for you, get you tickets to events, book restaurant tables for you etc. Madness.

Sunbird24 · 07/07/2021 12:14

@Juno231 that sounds amazing!

Kirky658 · 07/07/2021 12:17

@vil10 so glad you've reached out to your mum, must feel great having someone else to speak to. Also yeah don't do the swabs while camping sounds a disaster waiting to happen πŸ˜‚

@juno231 wow that's amazing perks, fantastic!

paintfairy · 07/07/2021 12:21

@Vil10 easier by phone definitely! You can walk away.
@Franklydear oh no. That's definitely not a good reminder at all. I'm sorry.
@Manifestingbaby you and me both! 🀣

Manifestingbaby · 07/07/2021 12:24

@Juno231 I feel like your post should have had a tmi warning πŸ˜‚ green with envy over here!
Maybe if it doesn't say when you are eligible for mat leave that's because there isn't an exclusion period?

Juno231 · 07/07/2021 13:09

@vil10 well done!

@Manifestingbaby ha oops I'm sorry! At this rate I won't get to use any of the perks for aaages if ever though. I'm hoping there's no exclusion as well but I'll see once I join and can see the full policy. I also seem to have no probation period which is one less thing to worry about.

Kirky658 · 07/07/2021 13:22

Does anyone else get really irritated with deliveries? Our cot is being delivered today, I've had a text saying who it's delivered by and that it will be today but no tracking or anything so I'm having to wait in all bloody day!

Ps - the Oak Furnitureland stuff is actually coming on Monday, yayyyy!

Juno231 · 07/07/2021 13:34

@Kirky658 am I!! Definitely. I ordered a dress that according to the royal mail tracker has been stuck in SW London somewhere since Thurs last week. I needed it to arrive before I leave this Saturday and now that's looking slim... Might order it to be delivered at the in-laws when we visit before the wedding we're going to on the 24th!

Minster2012 · 07/07/2021 13:44

Catching up over lunch I AM BLASTING THE JOBS TODAY!

@Vil10 OMG yes I remember, so she's got pregnant again?? Wtf! Contraception?? What's going on with that?? Because if she was not taking it for religious reasons she'd be keeping the kids right?? And sooo pleased you enjoyed telling your mum πŸ₯°I'm glamping next week!

@Franklydear aww darling on the 9 months that truly sucks ass, big hugs your way

@Juno231 that's AMAZING YESSS and I feel so honoured to know you. Well kinda know you. In fact I bet we know more intimate details about you & your thrush than a lot of your friends 🀣I love Mumsnet for that. We got your back and def turning green here too 🀒. Though tbh DH has a concierge that books all his holidays and organises his life. Muggins here

(Girls we need to up our life game over here!) 🀣

@Kirky658 yes I feel your pain but OMG I'm pretty sure that oak furniture land order was when we all started TTC right??

DKDK123 · 07/07/2021 13:53

@Vil10 I laughed so hard about the eye swab mix up πŸ˜‚πŸ™ˆ I actually have no idea how you managed not to react back to your friend tho, she doesn't realise how bloody lucky she is. There really is no justice in the ttc world is there 🀬 Glad you feel better after confiding in your mum tho.

@bez91 I'm glad you managed to get your referral, it sucks under the circumstances that led to it but hopefully they can start to give you answers now.

@juno231 your new workplaces perks sound great, definitely very jealous over here too but so happy for you that you made the right move to quit the shit company and land on your feet with what sounds like a great one 😊

I've just been for my smear test and the nurse commented that I had 'a very nice looking cervix' ah well I'll take any compliments that are thrown my way πŸ˜‚

Kirky658 · 07/07/2021 13:58

@juno231 oh god what a nightmare!!!
@minster2012 haha I ordered it in February!!!
@dkdk123 bloody hell, you sure she wasn't coming on to you 🀣

lucyrp · 07/07/2021 14:01

@Kirky658 yep😴πŸ₯± sent our pram off to be cleaned and I left a note in the door along with a selected safe place on the website with extra notes from where to collect the parcel from and then had a text while I was at work to say sorry they couldn't collect it 😀

Juno231 · 07/07/2021 14:01

@DKDK123 hahaha what does that mean?? I once went for a pap smear and the nurse asked if I have a history of UTIs (I do) as she said it looked angry.... what did?? My urethra? You can SEE that?? This was probs 5-6 years ago and I still think about it sometimes lol.

Minster2012 · 07/07/2021 14:29

@Juno231 pahahahaha ANGRY CERVIX πŸ˜‚πŸ€£vs @DKDK123's nice looking cervix! We have it all here! Noting new thread names again

@lucyrp soooooo frustrating
