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

@Dollybird89 this one is better www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4304470-Random-car-parked-on-my-drive

Vil10 · 24/07/2021 08:06

@Dollybird89 oh god that sounds awful!! Your poor dad, and dog!! I hope you had a large glass of wine last night!!

@Franklydear I love how comfortable we all are here❤️

@paintfairy so sorry af has turned up!! Silly bitch!

So I hadn't got my swab results back and I took them 12 days ago and thought it was a quick turn around so I rang up yesterday and they're all fine, I didn't expect them to not be to be honest, so I have my bloods on Wednesday, but progesterone isn't on my blood form which I'm very confused about, so going to ring up on Monday to ask! OH has his consultation on Monday morning too, still hoping we don't have to go ahead with it all😂

Dollybird89 · 24/07/2021 09:16

@franklydear that one is brilliant! Especially where dh dressed in hazmat suit 🤣 and moved car other way around while they weren't looking ... I'm dying 🤣🤣🤣

bez91 · 24/07/2021 11:09

Oh @paintfairy shit timing 🤬 what does that mean for your IUiI now?

Yes best to double check the blood form @Vil10 it's best to be armed with info because they can get it wrong so many times as you get passed from place to place!

bez91 · 24/07/2021 11:12

Nothing to report here about 4dpo. MIL on route from the north 🙄 DH is impressed as me, he's such a git though. The bypass into our town is closed all weekend, he knows this because he's working on it tomorrow and I said hadn't you better tell you mum so you can tell her the alternative route. He said he can't be arsed with the hassle, maybe it means she won't stay as long 🙈

Thinkingandblinking · 24/07/2021 12:30

Just jumping on bus to say hello! 23 weeks and still nervy but starting to believe we may be pregnant 😂🤪

So far so good considering I’m a geriatric according to the NHS!

Hoping for more July bfp’s…honestly I’m a great case of just when you least expect it, bam it happens! xx

paintfairy · 24/07/2021 13:14

@bez91 probably missed it. They usually scan cd4 (which would be Monday). And its not open today.

bez91 · 24/07/2021 14:05

@paintfairy surely if the bitch arrived last night it should be theoretically ok to do on Tuesday? 🤔 very frustrating if not! 💕

Mumlili9 · 24/07/2021 14:44

@paintfairy sorry the witch turned up. May be they can still do it.
@Dollybird89 how is doggy feeling now, hopefully much better.

Bfn today I'm definitely out now just wait for AF to turn up. Just got my appointment through its not until September 21st . Its to get results from HSG and ultra sound I had last month. Its shocking how long this takes isn't it. I've been going through this since January 2019 and it's still going on. Now I'm too old for ivf on NHS ( thanks for that) so we will have to save like crazy to pay for a round ourselves (we'll if I can convince my catholic husband that is).

It's a beautiful day today, perfect for replacing the sealant in my kitchen around the sink. It's gone a cream colour and it's totally bugging me but in this heat it should dry really quickly.

Does anyone else have a draw like this in there bathroom lol or am I crazy 🤪

Dollybird89 · 24/07/2021 14:57

@mumlili9 doggo is much better today, just had AA nice woodland walk and a normal poop 😂 .. I had a drawer like that in my dressing table and a shelf in bathroom 🤣

Kirky658 · 24/07/2021 18:41

@bez91 hehe that's made me chuckle, hopefully she won't stay long.
@dollybird89 glad doggo is better, hope today's been a better day!

Dollybird89 · 24/07/2021 18:47

@kirky658 thanks ... Got some fruity cider today... And egg white ewcm! Cd 17 but no obvious peak on opks but did have major rise in bbt today ... How you holding up @minster2012 ?

Minster2012 · 24/07/2021 18:49

Hey ladies, sorry been distracted today by one of those parking threads too 🤪

Sorry for the BFN @Mumlili9 and the waiting around which has ballsed things up. I've got a drawer like that! And my mums just fixed a blind in my bathroom and moved about 3 unopened OV tests 🙄, luckily I had moved everything else from our bedroom (preseed & applicators, fertilili) but hadn't thought about the ones by the toilet 🤣

Well it's CD16 here & last month this was supposed OV day so that was the prediction but nope. So we are back into fuckboy territory. I thought the OPKs were going up earlier but a low one again now. Humph

Minster2012 · 24/07/2021 21:39

@Dollybird89 do you think the fruity cider contributed to the ewcm?? Maybe I should drink that not grapefruit juice. Def taste nicer!! I think I got ewcm a couple of days before my peak so keep testing but also cover it as it's different for all 🤣😂mine are gradually going up but I don't think I'm in for another short cycle. I guess that's ok IF OV comes in the next few days

feliznavidad2 · 24/07/2021 21:41

Hope you're all having good weekends.

All fine here, taken a few days off MN so much during AF. Think I'll be CD1 either tomorrow or Monday. 🤷‍♀️

Dollybird89 · 24/07/2021 21:54

I have no idea @minster2012 🤣 only had the one last night but got 2 today ☺️ my temp this morning was highest I've ever recorded so that's good ?? Only 1 week till fertility clinic woo!! I did have another appointment to see about tonsils being removed but that one got cancelled 🤦

amy2503 · 24/07/2021 22:43

Pretty sure I'm out as normal ache has started but it's to be expected with my crazy cycle post covid jab. I just wish I knew when af was turning up... usually I'm doing prepared)!! x

Somatronic · 25/07/2021 01:03

Hi All, haven't been around in a week or two. I'm on holidays and enjoying the good weather. I just had a quick read through the thread there.

I decided to remove as much pregnancy talk from my life/social media as possible as it was all becoming a bit too much so that had to include this bus due to the frequent pregnancy updates. I will have a think about whether I stay gone in the next week or so but for now I'm going to try to enjoy the last few days of my holiday which means not thinking about work or TTC or anything else!

This month was a mess for me so no idea what is going on TTC wise.

@Amy00 I'm terribly sorry for your loss. I hope you're feeling a little better.

blackcurrantqueen · 25/07/2021 07:49

Morning ladies

Anybody else glad it's a little bit cooler ? 😂

@Somatronic sometimes that is exactly what you need to do, just get your head out of the game!

@Minster2012 yeah I reckon fruity cider sounds
Perfect 😂 here's hoping for a peak in the next couple of days

@Vil10 ooh yeah you def wanna ask if it saves you getting stabbed twice!! Sometimes I know at work like one 'profile' has lots of different blood tests on it so hopefully it's just that..

@paintfairy sorry AF is a tit.

@Franklydear you should be one very proud mummy, not only of your boy but of yourself! For always fighting for what is best for him xxx

Franklydear · 25/07/2021 09:35

Thank you @blackcurrantqueen I do need to hear it🥰

Vil10 · 25/07/2021 09:54

@bez91 thats what I'm thinking, I just don't want to come across as undermining them😂 but I don't want to have to just go in and have them again for progesterone! Hahaha love that from your DH!

@paintfairy hopefully they can still do it🤞🏼

@Mumlili9 so sorry for bfn!! Sending hugs! Also my dressing room drawer looked like that until I finally cleared it out yesterday! I had old tests in there, obviously negatives, then ones that had false positives on from a few cycles ago, I just got rid of everything apart from 1 frer I have left and my opks!x

@Minster2012 isn't faffing with opks a nightmare, you think you're getting somewhere then it fucks off again, I'm tired of fuck boy bodies

@Somatronic it's definitely needed sometimes!! Have a lovely few days on holiday

@blackcurrantqueen ohh really?? I hope that's the case, on my blood form it says androgens, prolactin, full blood count, testosterone, LH and FSH, and thyroid

Franklydear · 25/07/2021 12:54

We have horrible weather, grey dark and gloomy but nearly 30 degrees, horrible combination, lazy relax Sunday, planning trip away, we settled in Devon this time, no idea where I am in cycle could be 7 dpo, could be 2 dpo, but having way more creamy cm, so to wait again just don’t know for how long....
@Somatronic I’ve taken several breaks from here, perfect place if you ask me, all here when you need them, but never overwhelmingly so, just Goldilocks perfect

Franklydear · 25/07/2021 13:30

I need to tell you all this, it's a bit odd, windows open, tower fun on, and ds and I are sitting in the sofa with our blankets, we like it this way

Franklydear · 25/07/2021 13:31

Tower fan, sadly we don't have a tower fun😥

Minster2012 · 25/07/2021 15:04

@blackcurrantqueen I'm very pleased it's cooler! Though it's just got warm again though 🙄

@Vil10 these bloody OPKs are doing my nut in (well j guess my body is tbh!) did you catch yours or was the drinking too much 🤣it's so annoying!

@Somatronic sending big hugs and hope your break keeps helping

@Dollybird89 is your fertility clinic this week? Ooooo yeyyyyy and I love a fruit cider so that's all good 🤩🙌🏻

@Franklydear we'll be here won't we eating that perfect porridge 😘

@feliznavidad2 don't blame you, stupid AF

We have just dropped toddler off & on our way wine tasting whoop. However of course we have to drive there so can't get drunken- least toddler not being around later means a good ol DTD session (I'm hoping)
