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

@paintfairy lol true think we've tried and failed at all variation of ttc. I'm just nearing the bottom of a tub of expensive conceive plus multivitamins and thinking fck this sht pharmacy brand folic acid from now on will do!

@DKDK123 yay! That seems like good early , not tooo early. As you say any variation may help 🤞 love your visual storytelling 😂

Love the flowers @Franklydear!

What a beautiful peak @DKDK123!

Had the final interview, feel rough as hell from this cold and really floaty - I think I bombed it by just waffling, can't even remember what I said...I did say I had a cold but 🤷🏻‍♀️. Trying not to think about it now as I'm going to be so disappointed with myself when I feel well enough to be disappointed m!

Hi everyone!

Been lurking and trying to keep up but I’ve been really busy the last couple of weeks and not really thinking much about TTC. I’ve been pretty relaxed this month until the last couple of days I’ve definitely developed a POAS obsession and have used soo many OPKs!! I’m on CD14, been getting positives on OPKs and now what I think are ovulation pains!

Hope everyone is doing okay!!

@Franklydear that's brilliant you found out on your smear! Perfect!

@DKDK123 come on eager beaver egg and hot date night sex! 🙌🏻Loving your surly teen analogy though!

@larrythelizard everything crossed for you, sure you didn't bomb it!

@larrythelizard i often come out of an interview feeling like I've fluffed it and been offered the job! So chin up you got this 👍👍

I just spent the last hour having a cheeky nap on work time hehhehe. 20 days to go...

Feel like I am waiting for AF - gone really crampy and just had what I can only describe as tugging in my foof while driving 🤷🏽‍♀️

Went to loo and swear the loo roll was slightly pink tinged when I wiped so I'm sat in costa with a large hot chocolate awaiting its arrival with stabbing foof pains and suddenly feeling really meh and like I could sit and cry.

My mardy-o-meter is rising and I'm now so sleepy...! Glad I didn't waste a test this morning if AF is coming!!

@lexber hoping it isn't AF hun. Enjoy your hot choc and your me time though. Xx

@larrythelizard it probably wasn't as bad as you think? Hopefully.
@Manifestingbaby yeah same. No bloody vitamins have worked. Just end up costing a fortune.
@Lexber hopefully not!
@DKDK123 oh god. No crayons in this house. 🤣 Get on it! Woop for ovulation.

I'm sat here praying i can manage without my ibuprofen here on in (for my arm). I've taken paracetamol only today. I better not be suffering for nothing..... 🤣

Nothing to report no spotting, nothing! I went to the loo expecting to find a treat if an AF and nope nada 🤷🏽‍♀️

As a treat for DD birthday took kids to maccys for tea and hardly ate anything as just didn't enjoy it and felt so tired. Oh asked if I was ok as I was sat miles away, and hardly ate. I am fine just feel meh and wiped out tbh at work today I had a few "do I want to go through this over and over, the excitement and disappointment etc thoughts" and I've only been TTC a couple of months. I've definitely felt my hormones so much more since coming off contraception and I think TTC has made me even more aware of every tiny little thing and in all honesty I don't bloody like it! Definitely having a hormonal "whoa is me day" 🤣🤣 and in all honesty I have nothing to moan about nor be woah about - im just being a dick!! Atleast I can acknowledge that 🤣🤣

I've come home and started to focus on packing for Saturday morning - prepping what's needed for the van.. clothes, food, random bits, everything OH wouldn't think about 🤣 he gets to sort the van for the actual journey.

Well I've cancelled SW in morning, told them I have a work meeting 🤣 so im going to have some chocolate maltesers birthday cake (mine and A's to share!) and bloody enjoy it!

Sorry for the random balls I've just typed and moaning - im just gonna go out in my big girl pants and hoist the mo fos up! Xx

@Lexber that's why we are here don't worry, we all do it

@paintfairy tell yourself you feel better after you've taken the paracetamol, it will surely create the placebo effect on its own! 🤞🏻🤞🏻it's worthwhile

I'm knackered after a looooong day. Just done my "work debrief" with DH telling him the bits of actual work I got done in between toddler throwing an entire gin of paint on the wooden floor at 8.30 this morning, papier-mâché with 3 toddlers & 2 dogs & my neighbour, then Tesco & other shopping with DS then new house jobs 🤣. We've made the necessary decisions so now relax. Oh it's bedtime 🙄

9dpo here & I weed on an IC this morning. Snowy. Then had stitch like pain right side for half the day. Maybe I'm gonna get an early AF too? Or a late one seeing as I didn't have an actual AF after MC so in theory CD55 today.

Answers on a postcard 🙄

Thanks @Minster2012 I've come to lay on the bed.
I didn't enjoy the cake, it made me feel sick and I bloody LOVE cake, so seriously feeling sorry for myself now 🤣🤦🏽‍♀️
I'm just so exhausted, hot and feel sick. Tempted to test in the morning Premom app has me at 14dpo today and a day late. But my other one has me due Saturday as cd27 today. So could be due now, could be due Saturday 🤷🏽‍♀️ can I have my answers alongside yours on that postcard please?!

I don't feel pregnant so guess it's just ruling it out again lol and will be a nice birthday surprise if I am...

@Minster2012 @Lexber if we are going to put our answers in postcards, we are going to break the Guinness record to the biggest postcard, just saying.....
Back in the land of the living, I think, not tracking anything this cycle, que sera, sera...wake me up in august

Thats def weird then about the cake & I hope it's a good birthday surprise 🤞🏻🤞🏻😬@Lexber

No answers from me 🤣

@Minster2012 how long will you be in the old house yet? Not planning anything troublesome......

@Franklydear not exchanged yet so prob complete august some time? a while yet

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4291557-AIBU-Dog-vs-neighbours-allergic-child Omg!
@Minster2012 might have some time to plan yet

No answers on a postcard for either of you @Lexber @Minster2012 but hoping for answers for you both, and better days tomorrow.

I felt exhausted after watching your insta story @Minster2012!

I'm hopeful for you @paintfairy and hope your arm can take it.

I've decided that I either have some sort of non covid flu or sinusitis. I feel like absolute shite, at least I know I won't be preggers this month!!

Thanks all for the votes of confidence, hoping to hear from the recruiter tomorrow!

@Lexber we're here for you - sorry to hear the cake was disappointing 😖 and fingers crossed AF doesn't rear her ugly head. NC500 thing sounds amazing(!)

Bloody snowy IC 😑 @Minster2012 unless the stitch could be implantation?! (I'm obsessed with bloody implantation bleeding, pains, anything, it's not normal 🙄)

You're not alone re. Obsessed with POAS @JuniperAndTonic - love the name btw. We're at a similar stage in
cycles, think I'm CD16.

I'm sure the interview went better than you think @larrythelizard - when should you hear anything?

Lovely clear OPK @DKDK123 🤞🏻 for this being THE egg, like a Fabergé egg! 🤩 🤩

Think I've ovulated, peaked on OPK the day before yesterday but waiting for OH to come to bed incase... 🤷‍♀️ Feel like I've reached the sex pest point of the month. 🙈

@larrythelizard just saw your reply - good luck for positive news tomorrow 🤞🏻

I've had a damn good hormonal cry and feel tired now so gonna try and get some sleep xxxx

@minster2012 boy have you been busy today!!!

I'm in a bit of shock. Just been toilet and af has arrived! Cd22!!! Wtf???

@lexber hoping it's some good news lovely.
@dollybird89 christ that's a short cycle for you!!

@paintfairy wahoo IUI ✅ sperm sounds good 🙌🏼 I genuinely thought lying with legs in the air was a myth about all the things I've read about it not helping.

@larrythelizard fingers crossed for you, utter crap you felt rubbish for your interview though ☹️ will you find out today? You've probs done a lot better than you think

@Dollybird89 that's a contrast, hopefully means your re-regulating!

Wedding was lovely albeit a bit intense given the small numbers. Sit down afternoon tea and sit down evening meal, no dancing opportunities 😆 feel a bit exhausted this morning after all the intimacy if that makes sense. Breakfast all together this morning next then we're off home 😊

Wow @Dollybird89 maybe your cycle is coming back to more normal realms?!

@feliznavidad2 you've done what you can, now it's just a case of hoping one of the swimmers is feeling energetic!

Sounds lovely but intense @bez91!

I deffo have sinusitis and it is SO painful. Seems like you can't do very much for it either 😢😢😢
