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

@paintfairy just seen your pic, looks so sore!
@hopeful110 awwww so glad everything is good xx

becarefuloutthere · 29/06/2021 16:48

@Hopeful110 congratulations πŸ₯³ great news!
@paintfairy sorry you're being messed around by the clinic! Did they call bk yet? Sounds like you're having a right mare with hospitals at the mo, feel for you β™₯️

Justanothercyster · 29/06/2021 16:59

@Vil10 now that is mind boggling! Keep testing x

@Hopeful110 aww yay πŸŽ‰

So 3 year groups sent home today, ffs covid! It's all going to shite now again in schools 😷

bez91 · 29/06/2021 17:02

That's rough @larrythelizard hope you can prepare well enough for your interview.

@DKDK123 Jesus a faint positive with tap water πŸ˜†

@Juno231 that's a pain re notice period, hope they can meet you in the middle somewhere!

Gosh @paintfairy what a frustrating hospital visit! Hope you manage to pin the fertility clinic down!

As @Juno231 said @Vil10 ask to see the actual results. My doctors have a portal, my results said 'normal' but progesterone was exactly 30 for one month so borderline which was good to know.

Been pinged by NHS app πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ, I said to DH it would happen after eating out every meal on holiday last week. No actual text or phone call just come through the app and says 4 days remaining so contact must have been last Wednesday. Probably sat 5m away from someone in a restaurant. DH hasn't been pinged and we were together apart from going to the loo πŸ™„, what a load of bollocks.

Minster2012 · 29/06/2021 17:09

@Hopeful110 yeyyyyy congratulations! πŸ₯³πŸ˜I knew it πŸ€ͺ

@paintfairy so do they know you can go in for the scan? And how does your arm feel? I just assume every time I go into hospital for any appointment now that my whole day gone it's so annoying though

@Justanothercyster jesus that's a lot

@Juno231 nope it isn't me!!
I am the one with a name like JuNo πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

@bez91 what a joke!!

Hopeful110 · 29/06/2021 17:50

Thankyou ladies πŸ₯°πŸ˜˜πŸ˜˜ it means alot, I just didn't wanna be insensitive and shove it in faces :(
Love you all! And always here cheering you's on from the sidelines! Xxx

Minster2012 · 29/06/2021 17:52

So my OPKs been going down again today so in the sprit of my darling DS I have treated myself to "freeweeing" not like @Tornado2Inc whereby no wee is wasted...however I didn't, like DS did, free wee on the sofa whilst I was working.

FFS

It's the weekend soon right??

@Minster2012 I googled the swimwear in love island, poor producer run out of fabric midway, right? Why would you want the bottom of your boobs exposed? also this woman don’t wear an aa, I can’t guarantee you would need a lot of costume tape to keep that on me, if you had killed me and that’s why you can put it on my corpse, that is

Kirky658 · 29/06/2021 19:57

@franklydear you're speaking my language there lovely, haha. I only watched it last night to see what assholes were on it. The only one with anything about him is Hugo I think. But you bet I'll be watching it again tonight...

Minster2012 · 29/06/2021 20:15

@Franklydear I would need a lot of tape too, and the absence of gravity too. What weirded me out more was one of them (Sharon maybe???) had bright white underboob why would you want that???

P.s we need more baby Sharon's in the world

@Kirky658 it's ok, we are just watching it as a social experiment or similar

Franklydear · 29/06/2021 20:18

@Minster2012 it’s definitely your fault is even on my radar

Clairey844 · 29/06/2021 20:19

Just buckling up, thanks for the new bus @Minster2012 and yaaaas to Love Island.

@blackcurrantqueen great news about the scan πŸ₯°

@Vil10 I could defo see something on those tests from last night, maybe FMU is not what works for you-so hoping those lines mean some HCG is in your system 😘😘

I think my first tape was Cotton Eye Joe-that defo ages me πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

@Hopeful110 great news on your scan 😍

@paintfairy ooh that's a proper Frankenstein scar!!

@Justanothercyster we had a massive outbreak at the end of the Spring Term and I can see it going the same way...although fortunately we finish for the summer Friday 9th so not too long to go

A big FFS here-OH has been sent home after someone he works with tested positive today. Isolation until next Thursday. I am 36weeks today and all I can think is a) if he gets it I'm gonna be shitting it as it's most risky to get it in the 3rd trimester and b) what if I go into labour early whilst he's still isolating and he can't come to the hospital. What's worse is yesterday was his first day ever working in an office as he's just been made a supervisor so normally he's out on the tools-what are the bloody chances πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Anyway, sorry to all I've missed, and @Vil10 I am feeling so hopeful for you xxx

DKDK123 · 29/06/2021 20:20

Glad to hear your scan went well @Hopeful110 😊

@Justanothercyster our schools finished last week but we noticed an increase again in the weeks before we closed. One year group had a positive case on the very last day of term, happy holidays to all those in that group having to isolate πŸ™ˆ Luckily it wasn't mine phew!

@bez91 yip sad times when your tap water can get pregnant better than me 🀣 I usually poas around 4 or 5dpo when I know its def going to be a bfn so I have something to compare with if its a squinter when I test in a few days. POAS at 4dpo one time and it was a faint positive. Knew it couldn't have been right so did another, again faint line with colour in the time frame so did a 3rd with just some tap water and got the same result. Did another couple with water and all faint positives so the whole batch went in the bin. So glad I didn't poas further down the line when I would have gotten my hopes up! In hindsight wish I haven't chucked them in the bin and complained to the company but I hadn't thought. To be fair in the 2 years I've been trying its only been that one batch that's ever been dodgy but I do only use IC as a rough guide, if it looks a bit positive I confirm with a FR before getting excited, if its not positive it saves me wasting FRs to check.
That's rubbish you got a ping from the app. Is it bad your comment just made me delete the app to make sure I get no pings to isolate before I go away for the weekend? To be fair I'm only going to be walking or in my garden so the chances are slim but still I don't want to risk cancelling my weekend away!

DKDK123 · 29/06/2021 20:23

Oh no @Clairey844 what bad timing! My first thought too was what if she goes into labour early.....just lie in bed till next thursday and don't move, don't breathe too hard, do anything that can bring on labour..... then in a few weeks time when youre actually wanting it out you'll you'll doing all you can to bring it on 🀣

Kirky658 · 29/06/2021 20:31

@clairey844 oh no!!! Make him quarantine himself away from you. If he wears a mask, sanitises everything regularly you should be ok. Really bad timing that. Xx

Clairey844 · 29/06/2021 20:32

@DKDK123 πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ I just know it'll be sods law that I'll either go into labour or something that involves him not being able to be with me. I'm focussing on the positives; he's currently fit and well and can't leave the house-he's already been painting this afternoon so 🀞🏻 for some significant DIY progress πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Minster2012 · 29/06/2021 20:35

@bez91 wait you got pinged?? I didn't see that! Oh god just read how annoying

@DKDK123 I think everything can get pregnant better than us. Def tap water 😜but good idea on the testing v early for comparison

@Vil10 just wondering if you've got another better test yet like FRER or whatever...or have you done another evening one?? Maybe you are someone than hers better results in the evening 🀞🏻🀞🏻

@Franklydear im gonna take that, don't care...watching a programme where I can sit & judge ppl from my own home??? Errr like Mumsnet but without the vaguely intelligent "debates" πŸ€£πŸ˜‚

@Clairey844 I was just thinking put him to hard work "before the baby arrives"

Pps @Vil10 FRERS on buy one get one half price at boots atm. Someone told me. I walked past boots today.

DKDK123 · 29/06/2021 20:40

@clairey844 silver linings, he's got no excuse not to do all those DIY jobs now before bubs arrives and it'll give you both some much needed quality time together before the chaos begins! 😁

larrythelizard · 29/06/2021 21:01

That's a joke @bez91 I have to admit this is why I've deleted the app πŸ™ˆ

If they talk to you about massaging your scar to avoid scar tissue @paintfairy then listen and do as you're told, I had an op on my foot a few years ago and when they said about it I just thought, it's on my foot, who cares about a scar but it was really sore underneath with scar tissue for a 2-3 years!

Having to catch up on a load of Tour de France before we can start love island so will join you for swimwear chats ASAP

Minster2012 · 29/06/2021 21:20

OMG what is with the new girl's voice???!!! And I had her at older her face looks hagged πŸ€”

@minster2012 Chloe is awful, hate her already, so annoying. Also why doesn't any of the girls like Hugo he seems the only decent lad there. It's like Dr Alex all over again!
