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

*stifling not sniffing 😂

Ladies I have good news of a different kind, bestie's incurable cancer is in remission! I still have to figure out what that means exactly, but surely is good

@Lexber sounds like you need a week off!! What a lovely birthday present🥳

@Franklydear that's amazing!! Like I was told and 6 years later I'm still here 🤩

Ladies I've just finished the end of last nights love island and WTF is Faye wearing?? And her boobs look ROCK hard and ridiculous and her lips OMG 🤪what the hell?!!

@Lexber aww your OH sounds sweet!

@Franklydear that's wonderful news!!

Hey Ladies so my opks are not going to plan at all and now I am really starting to think the jab has effected everything and I'm freaking out 😢xxx

@amy2503when did you have your jab? I didn’t ovulate the month I had mine but it was back to normal the next month, if that helps at all?

@amy2503 it may mess your cycle around I'm afraid, you might just have to write this month off, chill & just have sex when you feel like it, and get back on it next month

@Minster2012 I'm terrified it's messed up for good 😢😢😢

🥳🥳🥳 @Franklydear that's the best news!

Bless your OH @Lexber!

@amy2503 there is evidence around that the covid jab can cause short term disruption to your menstrual cycle but absolutely no evidence of it affecting fertility longer term. Please don't freak out, might just not be your month.

@Juno231 I feel like you right now, wasting an egg, almost want to get DH to jump me even though I feel like actual death and assume for him it'd be like shagging a corpse and therefore not fun. I imagine you're just going to have to talk to him properly at some point, I hate those conversations!

Sure I've missed loads, still feel really poorly, just want to feel better now!

@amy2503 if most of us are ok after both miscarriages, missed miscarriages and jabs then you'll be fine, like @larrythelizard said you may not miss it anyway!

That's fantastic news @Franklydear amazing 🤩

@amy2503 easier said than done but try not to worry. It's not a given, I did ovulate the month of my first one. Like @larrythelizard says even if it's anovulatory this month it will likely be a one off and maybe even a coincidence!

Argggh @larrythelizard sorry you're still feeling crappy. Sinusitis is awful, I get it a few times a year. Early nights to make up for the distributed sleep of not being able to breath!

Bleeding stopped here now so only slightly longer than a normal period. Desperate to jump DH tonight 🍆 . But first closing time for the internal job is midnight and I'm a little behind 🙄 nothing like leaving it to the last minute!

@Minster2012 that’s three temp rises and ovulation confirmed on Day 9 - so that’s me on for a 23 day cycle. Ffs is it even possible to conceive with a practically raw Day 9 egg??! I’m supposed to be mowing the grass while DH does bedtimes but I’m hiding at the bottom of the garden drinking Koppaberg in the sun 🍏 🍐 ☀️

Good luck with the application @bez91 (if I’ve understood correctly). Is it a tricky one or quite straightforward application?

@bez91 go go go!! And such great news on the RMC referral on Insta

@GuessHowMuch well I'm sat here also with you in the prosecco in the sunshine listening to fleetwood Mac having AF arrived on 10dpo so maybe we should make a raw egg corner 🤪

Hey all, sorry for the quietness. Had quite the anxious week plus work is so so busy atm. Plus a covid case at work too 🙄🙄🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ been testing every day to be safe.

Only 4 days left till over a week off and I get to see family and also tell them the baby news 😁😁

I've got a lot to catch up on, hope you're all ok

@franklydear yayyy for your friend, fab news!

Ahhh long day today been at the classes from 2pm till 6pm, they overran till 630 as someone was late so we got home at 7:15 and walked the dog and just sat down to dinner. 🤣

@Franklydear fab news about your friend!

@Kirky658 hope you enjoy your class, loved mine first time around. 😌

V exciting @Kiwibabyjourney! Sorry to hear about the Covid case, rates are just going bonkers I think.

@Minster2012 also had some prosecco in the garden last night, was lovely.

@bez91 hope you managed to get the application done, and then maybe managed to jump OH?!

Sorry to hear you're still feeling poorly @larrythelizard - fingers crossed it shifts v soon.

All ok here, had fun seeing some friends last night for a garden soirée (we drank prosecco and ate pizza, nothing like trying to make something sound fancier than it is! 😉)

4dpo... keeping my hopes up here as last month I started spotting at 4dpo and it continued until blimmin' AF. 🤷‍♀️ 🤔 😖

@Franklydear I don't even know your friend and I was still grinning like a Cheshire cat reading that news! Amazing news 😁

@amy2503 I know its easier said than done but try to relax stress can also mess with your cycle. Both jabs messed up my cycle the months I got them but everything went back to normal the following cycle. Even minus the jab effects you will have some cycles that are just not following the norm as the famous bus saying goes, our body's are fuckboys! TTC journey is a complete headfuck and doesn't get any easier the longer it goes on, you've just got to hang on in there and ride the waves till calmer waters come again.

@kiwibabyjourney exciting that you're telling your family soon 😊

Had such a good day catching up with one of my friends yesterday that I haven't seen for so long, drinking cocktails, putting the world to rights. I even managed to fit in 7 miles of my walking challenge and not even feeling hungover today which is a mega bonus.

@DKDK123 I've had a good old cry last night. Thanks for the support Ladies. This journey is just so so painful and I feel so alone in the real world. Im so grateful to have you all to turn to. xxxxxxxxx

Re friend, too many to tag, I know, it’s like we’ve won the lottery... I had a little happy cry, I didn’t know this was possible, I need to grilled her to see what this actually means, but surely more than 6-10 years post diagnosis
@amy2503 one for all and all for one

@Franklydear so pleased to hear about your friend, that's wonderful news!! 💕
@amy2503 a good cry is what we need sometimes, I hope today is a better day for you! 💐
@DKDK123 so glad you had a nice day, sounds really good! I slept most of yesterday, didn't even leave the flat 🙈
@feliznavidad2 ooh I love a soirée, it's basically what ours is too, pizza and prosecco 😂 sounds a lovely evening, glad you had fun! Hope the spotting stays away! 🤞🏾

Hope a good cry helped @amy2503 and that you're feeling better today. Its a tough journey and friends IRL that get pregnant easily will never understand the toll it can take. Chin up, write this cycle off, concentrate on looking after yourself and get on it next cycle.

@becarefuloutthere don't feel bad about not leaving the flat yesterday, just listen to your body and if it needs to sleep just get those extra zzzzzz in when you can. How are you doing besides the need to sleep?

@becarefuloutthere deffo take the sleep it makes you feel so much better! I'm napping every day about 3pm now, can't function without!

My fingers have swollen now and I've had to remove my wedding and engagement ring, makes me sad 😔

Also been swimming this morning, usually do 40 lengths, managed 34 today and had enough. I had booked the slow lane and it was full of golden oldies who kept stopping in the middle of the lane, so I switched to the medium lane which was so busy, and I just had to work harder, not good.

@DKDK123 tbh I had such a nice day just snoozing on n off and eating, it was truly glorious 🤩 I'm ok actually, nausea isn't as intense anymore, hasn't been since Thursday, just hope it doesn't mean anything bad!! Haven't had any bleeding but I am still taking progesterone...time will tell! Have you heard from the epu yet?

@Kirky658 I suspect I'll be tired throughout! Wow go you with the swimming, defo take it easy where you can though.
Ah I'd feel sad taking mine off as well but defo for the best, you don't want to cut off your circulation! 😬

Quick check in, it's not looking good 😞
Woke to bleeding and now crampy as fuck.

Gonna see how today goes, trying to see the positive side that it confirms we can conceive if it isn't meant to be as we did wonder if OH could (type 1 diabetic) so we are now 100% sure we can..
