Your service has been interrupted as your normal bus driver has connectivity issues. Just as well there's a driver out there who's done the route as cover before...! As ever, apologies if I've got any of it wrong!

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 minster's blog then blame the ladies on the thread but @minster2012 needs to carry on with it it, I’ve been lazy! #shamelessplug

@Juno231 yes I was a good girl but did treat my self to a few strawberries too ( im so naught)
@larrythelizard may have been later just hope dh little swimmers were able to hang on that long.

Mumlili9 · 22/07/2021 22:38

Ladies I did only eat fruit. Im the T totally kind of girl, no caffeine, alcohol no sugar in my decaff tea. I really am boring 😆🤣😂

larrythelizard · 23/07/2021 06:52

That is strict @Mumlili9 I can't be that strict ever even when on a diet (Monday!)

@Franklydear I'm generally made of stone and not really a crier so we'll see...! Cool calm and collected is good!

@Katiekattty hope you're feeling okay and battling through x

@kaylsd definitely do it! It's such a simple thing but is perfect! So relaxing! We said next time I'll make some food beforehand and we'll take that up with us! Thankyou!! Awww your doggo, so cute!!

@bez91 omg what🤣🤣🤣🤣

@blackcurrantqueen amazing news!! So so happy for you❤️

Minster2012 · 23/07/2021 09:42

@Mumlili9 wow that's so good! You must have will of iron!

DS is obviously well loved @Franklydear

I'm currently watching "trying" which I like!

Kirky658 · 23/07/2021 10:12

@mumlili9 I'm so impressed! I have zero willpower and would just reach for the chocolate lol.

Minster2012 · 23/07/2021 11:47

@Dollybird89 how are your OPKs doing? Mine are doing naff all, I have a tiny bit of ewcm that's it. But I haven't drunk grapefruit juice this cycle I think this month is another screwed one ☹️but mind you there's less sex too

Mumlili9 · 23/07/2021 12:01

Stupid early testing at 9dpo but I did it anyway bfn. That's counts 18 months ttc with nothing. Temp dropped and rhr today so think I'm out.

Dollybird89 · 23/07/2021 15:41

@Minster2012 staying the same tbh .. i seriously thought af was here earlier though or I'd peed 🙈🤣 but no just lots of watery ewcm . Had family drama yesterday so had to drive back down to my dad's today so not had chance to do opk yet today

Minster2012 · 23/07/2021 17:49

@Mumlili9 sorry for the bfn but 9dpo is still early, one of our ladies got a bfn at 9dpo then BFP at 11 so do f lose hope yet!

@Dollybird89 I hope the crisis is ok? Yours are still higher than mine! Mine are even lower! Hovering at around 0.25 🙈

Dollybird89 · 23/07/2021 18:13

@minster2012 you get super strong control lines unlike me though 🤷 I'll explain crisis later ... Just cooking spicy Cajun chicken pasta 🤤🤤

Mumlili9 · 23/07/2021 18:22

Ah ladies it seems I did not ovulate after all. My blood test has come back is low progesterone. But my bbt says I ovulated , my premom test were "im not sure" the prove tests were hit and miss. What do you ladies think?

Dollybird89 · 23/07/2021 18:50

Well... Where do I start? Will give a bit of context befor the drama 🤣 my dad's carer/ partner has a daughter with 2girls 1 is 9 other is 7month old (different dad's). Before she had second daughter she went off rails doing coke... This went on and off for 2 yes till she found out she was pg. Was clean for whole pregnancy.. then about 4 weeks after she was born she's gone back on it occasionally ( I only found all this out today) but main story is that yesterday she had a new friend over from night before and had been doing drugs in house with the girls there, left them with said "friend" while she nipped out for 10 mins... Then never came back! . Her mum called and spoke to the lass and she said her daughter had nipped out so mum went over to fetch the girls, ... But no-one was there! ... Kept calling and calling but no answer so cops had to be called... Finally found them . She'd took them home as she wasn't sure what to do?!?! Cops arrived and eldest got fetched by dad and youngest came back with dad's carer. She can't have any contact with her kids now untill social deem it fit. .. she came out with some crap story that don't add up or make sense which I gather social have seen straight through. ... Why is it people like that can easily have kids and treat them so poorly??? They are beautiful girls and its so upsetting that she could f*CK off and leave then with a stranger who does drugs! So I been down today to look after my dad for a while and get shopping in and had some we'll need snuggles and playtime with lil 7month old.. it does hurt too though coz when I'm holding her I'm crying inside as I just want for me and oh so badly to have our own 😭 . .... But wait drama didn't end there..... Dog had sh!ts most of day, puked in my car just befor getting on motorway, so stopped to clean ( luckily had stuff in car from shopping) and she then had more sh!ts followed by blood! FFS!! So now got to monitor dog incase it means a trip to vets 🤦🤦🤦.... Can I cry yet??

Franklydear · 23/07/2021 19:15

@Dollybird89 yes, you can, found a Netflix series to blame it on, oh my god, hope your dad is ok, what a worry
@Mumlili9 someone knowledgable will come along in a minute
@Minster2012 he’s a little star isn’t he? I am quite overwhelmed with pride, he’s nice, polite, clever, hardworking and very decent, with all his struggles, he’s done so well, got him tickets to stargazing in the big telescopes as a reward, he’s also quite overwhelmed so it’s been/will be iPad and headphones since end of school until bedtime today
@larrythelizard I am cool, calm and collected 95% of the time but is all masking and need a few solitaire hours a week to wrk out my real emotions

Franklydear · 23/07/2021 19:17

Also you guys get a more real version of me than anyone who know me irl, it took me a while to feel comfy though

Dollybird89 · 23/07/2021 19:45
I love it 🤣
Kirky658 · 23/07/2021 20:39

@dollybird89 oh hun you can deffo have a cry, people like that should be locked up if you ask me it is so unfair!!! Also hope the doggo is okay.

@franklydear tehe to the AIBU. But I'm the same - more honest with you all than anyone else IRL and wouldn't change it for the world ❤️

Franklydear · 23/07/2021 20:50

@Kirky658 definitely wouldn’t change it, you are all my world and @Minster2012 is my conscience

Franklydear · 23/07/2021 21:32

Ooh, I finally got creamy cm at cd 17, this might be working still

Mumlili9 · 23/07/2021 21:40

@dollybird89 omg what a day you've had. Hope your dad is OK. I know what you mean about how unfair that someone can do that. A friend of mine who I rarely see now is due next week with her 10th child. She's bord of the babies once they get to about 15 months old and then wants a new born again. They all have different dad's. And she just looks a a man and presto she's pregnant. I had to stop seeing her it broke me everytime I saw her

larrythelizard · 23/07/2021 21:45

@Mumlili9 the day 21 bloods are notoriously hard to get right because if it's not 7 days before AF then it's essentially invalid. Or that's how I understand it anyway. Your friend, 10 children?!?? What?!

@Dollybird89 yes you can deffo cry. What a day!!

It's nice on here isn't it @Franklydear, the anonymity helps!

Minster2012 · 23/07/2021 22:25

@Dollybird89 you better have cried then drank wine by the time you read this!! Well we say if you were a druggie you'd be able to conceive easily 😫🙄

@Franklydear your boy is a credit to you and we love that you've opened up, that's the beauty of having a safe Space here. Wait I'm meant to be your conscience??!!! Where was that in the job description 🤣😂👹😈😇and yeah you've ovulated girl!!

@Mumlili9 I echo what hecothers say that the bloods are really hard to get right. I think the bbt is meant to be a good measure? But of course if it was just a case of the progesterone being "low", was it descending or non existent? Hold on, where was the 10 children??

paintfairy · 23/07/2021 22:43

@Dollybird89 God that sounds terrible! You can cry. And I have a pair of snag tights too.
@bez91 wtaf - a melting sex doll?
@Franklydear oh no. I don't want to cry at Virgin River. I have 2 to go. Can't dream at sadness!
@Mumlili9 10? What on earth!
@Minster2012 horse camp has turned somewhat chilly and I'm not sure I'll be needing the shorts and sun cream.

Fu*k you AF. She's turned up. Tonight. 🙄🙄🙄 Yeah thanks.

Franklydear · 24/07/2021 04:33

Tannoy announcement ! Midnight rambles
@paintfairy we have storms just for the weekend, great, I would be annoyed if I didn’t have 3 weeks off.... af can fuck right off, crying at virgin river could have been just me, lots of conflicted feelings atm and the great excuse
@Minster2012 oh the credit is all his, but #proudmummy and I make no apologies, bless him he is so overwhelmed he didn’t let us look through the school photos collage the teacher made, his end of year project, a painting, or even his signed Shirt yet, ....
you volunteered for the conscience job, don’t you remember?
Ovulation signs are great, but when on earth do I expect af now, cos by usual calculations should be the first or earlier.... I think I’ll have one of those being late and turn up to be nothing, pulling cramps today but it might be gas
Big storm woke me up, great, better clear up before the morning, I have work and need dh to run a couple of errands for summer school
