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

*GP I mean, not go 🀣🀣

DKDK123 · 28/06/2021 19:51

@KiwiTTC1st I don't know if its authority specific but our gp won't do bloods to confirm anymore its just a case of if you get a positive you phone to arrange a booking appointment with the midwife but there's no major rush for it they don't usually see you till you're about 8-10weeks anyways. Personally I'd wait till you were a week or so late just incase it sadly doesn't turn out to be a sticky bean just so you don't have to go thru phoning to cancel the appointment and upsetting yourself again. But positive vibes yours is a sticky one 😁🀞

bez91 · 28/06/2021 19:53

@kaylsd can't find pooch on IG but will keep my eyes peeled πŸ‘€

@larrythelizard that's good news depending what way you're looking at it, are they going to do repeat 21 day bloods?

Can we have a music theme based on the first album you ever bought? I'll go... Craig David Born to do it πŸ˜†

Franklydear · 28/06/2021 19:56

@bez91 the mamas and the papas, over 30 years ago🀯

Kiwibabyjourney · 28/06/2021 19:57

@DKDK123 ok thank you so much for your advice! You're right there. I'm keeping everything crossed it's a sticky one! 🀞🀞

kaylsd · 28/06/2021 19:58

@bez91 steps gold 🀣🀣🀣 saved up pocket money to get it had to do a lot of car washing and cleaning up for that beauty of a album!

@franklydear I can imagine your playlist is on fire then girl if you listen to music to commute! I miss those days travelling to uni on the train when returning from home with headphones in zoning out of the windows watching the world pass! Quite peaceful :’)

@KiwiTTC1st congratulations on your BFP praying for a sticky baby for you 🀞🏻

Franklydear · 28/06/2021 20:03

@kaylsd yes, only my music is often metalπŸ€˜πŸ™ŒπŸ½

Minster2012 · 28/06/2021 20:27

@larrythelizard that makes sense about waiting til after the jab, do you know when you did ovulate were the timings wrong? I shall check that Ted talk now!

@InkyPaper shush now you, you are at least one seat up from the back, or are you heading up the "cool crew on the back seat?"

@kaylsd I think we all need to follow Mabel don't we?! She has all the fun! Such a sweet thing for the documenting, anyone can request music for the bus 🎼🎀you have to give your request to DJ @Franklydear she's in charge of banging tunes -wait steps gold!! Did steps have enough decent songs for GOLD status?!

Ooooo loving the music album confessions! My first album was Republica the one with the banger "I'm back yeah standing in the rooftop shouting out BABY I'M READY TO GO!"

@DKDK123 how nice of Aunt Flo to join you walking πŸ™„πŸ€£I'm really going to coq10 helps your eggs stick 🀞🏻

@KiwiTTC1st I would say it's best to wait until AF is late to call you need to check what the way is in your area. For most it's self referral to midwives. Our area don't do blood tests, not sure if a lot of places do, but phone your gp & say you are pregnant & they will say what to do, I think you definitely are! πŸ₯³

@Minster2012 I think my LP was just 14 days instead of 10; based on EWCM etc I think I was right (ish) with ny guess on ovulation although obvs without temping and OPKs it is just a guess!

@bez91 they'd be happy to try but I don't have any faith that I can predict when AF due this cycle then I expect I'll have my next covid jab in august at some point so will wait until sept. Fits with the NTNP alongside the job stuff for now anyway.

I can't remember what album I first bought but my first single was Brimful of Asha by Cornershop. On tape obvs!

Minster2012 · 28/06/2021 21:06

Oh god I can't remember if we go back to tape @larrythelizard πŸ€£πŸ˜‚ so was it an anovulationary cycle? Sorry I forget

Just jumping on the new bus πŸ‘‹

@Minster2012 I'm watching the tennis right now so no love island here. I'm possibly the only person to never have watched an episode of love island πŸ˜… once you watch one you're hooked so I stayed away

@Vil10 that's some teasing RHR if you haven't conceived! I don't miss staring at those every month. Glad you've got the ball rolling with the GP now though just incase. Keeping my fingers crossed for you still.

I was really expecting STI (specifically chlamydia) testing when I first went to the GP for help with TTC but they didn't do anything like that. I mean mines only did the day 21 bloods and referred me to the assisted conception unit before the results even came back! Seemed odd but I wasn't complaining πŸ˜†

It's both good and bad to see the long list of bumps isn't it? Always nice to see so ladies finally get their BFPs but hard for those still trying. I felt left behind every time someone got their BFP you can't help feeling it.

@blackcurrantqueen glad your scan went well πŸ˜ƒ always a relief! You can always pop into the side bus for any pregnancy chat but it's nice to stay here, it feels like home on MN πŸ’•

becarefuloutthere · 28/06/2021 21:23

@Minster2012 I'm watching love island! Too much lip filler and that Jake seems weird. He likes little white toes, ok then πŸ™ƒ

Haiyaa · 28/06/2021 21:25

@blackcurrantqueen incredible! You must be over the moon! And not too long for your 12 will scan now πŸ˜ƒ

@Minster2012 definitely looks like a peak to me! My app said to test every 4 hours after to see when it comes down then would place ov at 24 hours after - except temping showed me that I actually ovulate almost immediately after the peak so my app was wrong!

Nice one on the 14 day LP @larrythelizard! Hopefully your body is getting its act together ready for a BFP!

Holy cow @clolo you could open a farm shop with all those eggs! How come they aren’t doing a fresh transfer?

@KiwiTTC1st in my area you self refer online after 6 weeks then the mw calls to arrange your booking appt. check your local hospital maternity page.

My first album was Spice Girls debut album 😝

becarefuloutthere · 28/06/2021 21:29

Oh and my first tape was Hanson mmmbop, absolute classic πŸ‘ŒπŸΎ

Franklydear · 28/06/2021 21:30

@2020mission me neither, I can’t even figure what the program is about

2020mission · 28/06/2021 21:35

@becarefuloutthere Hanson was my first music purchase too. A wee cassette tape. I still have their Christmas album Snowed In from my childhood too and it's tradition for me to listen to it when putting up the tree πŸ˜…

No idea on no egg cycle (can't spell the long word tonight my brain is melted from working all night) @Minster2012 and guess I'll never know!

Yes I hope so @Haiyaa!

I am deffo in for love island but can't be doing with all the adverts/it's on too late so will watch it on catch up tomorrow!

becarefuloutthere · 28/06/2021 21:39

@2020mission omg my sister bought this and still puts it on too πŸ˜‚

Minster2012 · 28/06/2021 21:54

@becarefuloutthere I've got little white toes!! Already I'm annoyed with them but that's part of the fun🀣 HANSON and you still play it!! Classic 🎼

@clolo but what album was your first?!

Yep I've not watched the first couple of seasons of love island but then I got hooked @2020mission def!

@Franklydear fake Ppl trying to get laid then famous basically! 2 of the girls have already said in their intro "I love sex" ok thanks for that
@larrythelizard I would usually get it on catch up and get rid of the adverts too but was excited (sad!) and I need πŸ†πŸ†πŸ†πŸ†πŸ†πŸ†πŸ†πŸ†πŸ€£

@Haiyaa that's interesting I think it's the same for @Juno231 too, so I'm interested to see if I get any ride whatsoever I guess

Thanks for the new bus @Minster2012 πŸ‘πŸ»

Struggling to keep up, on hol with my Mum and DS. May get a chance to catch up when they're swimming in the ruddy freezing sea.

(May have bought my OPK sticks with me 🀫)

Somatronic · 28/06/2021 22:15

I've never seen Love Island either. And even if I wanted to watch it DH wouldn't tolerate it.

I'm glued to the Euros at the moment anyway. Can't fit any more telly in until they're over.

bez91 · 28/06/2021 22:36

Ooooh some good first singles ladies. Yessss @becarefuloutthere belter that!

I'm a Love Island virgin, I don't have the attention span to commit πŸ˜† I'm glued to the football too @Somatronic I love a tournament. DH missed both games tonight as got call outs so been cheering the Swiss on alone πŸ‡¨πŸ‡­

Sausage1990 · 28/06/2021 23:16

Hi just taking a seat on the roof, chilling out.

Don't worry about being here alone @justanothercyster @kaylsd @inkypaper, I'll still be around... We'll get on the bump list eventually (or stay on the bump list in my case as I've been on & off it πŸ™ˆ) and there may not be as many of us but we're in good company πŸ’•

@minster2012 Yes to Love Island πŸοΈπŸ’• they're an interesting bunch this year... πŸ€”

Congratulations to the BFPs πŸ₯³

Hope you're doing okay xx

Kirky658 · 29/06/2021 06:42
