Here I go again...TTC Bus 45 - blood sucking dungeons, whitesnake and angry cervixes all welcome...

[larrythelizard]

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

Erm ouch @bez91!

Hi ladies. For anyone who's following my dodgy cycle after my jab- it seems like I finally got my peak! Very late... but still... Does this mean my best times are the next 3 days or so? I forget as I don't take the tests usually anymore. xx

@bez91 ouch?!!!! Science teacher DH says as long as you've rinsed with plenty of water you'll be fine ❤️
Omg @sausage1990 those clothes are adorable?!! Gonna give you a follow xx

Hey gorgeous gang!

@Sausage1990 lovely to see your name 💕💕

Thanks bus driver @larrythelizard

I'm still here! Busy busy with work but a little bit less sick!

Still reading every day though and sending positive vibes for all of you!

@Franklydear so glad you didn't miss your stop!
@Vil10 I didn't really not drink when I did OPKs so I would try and do one at 1pm ish too!
@Dollybird89 loving your jewellery too!

Xxx

Marking my place. I'm a bump who still likes to check in.
Hope everybody is doing ok xx

@Sausage1990 your crafts are amazing!!! Had a look at your insta and it all looks super cute 😍

Was anyone else silly enough to spend all day in the sun without sun cream? My poor shoulders and neck 🦞🦞 It hurts soooo badly!

@feliznavidad2 that’s a crazy wait for an appointment! I’m doing ok thanks, normal pre-AF symptoms so not feeling too hopeful either. Fine for now but I know I’ll be sad next week when AF arrives.

@Kirky658 I think that’s such a lovely gift 😍 Our second DC was born on our wedding anniversary. We literally haven’t celebrated an anniversary since - it was ten years last year and neither of us noticed until a week or so later and we discussed how far our romantic life has fallen 😂

@amy2503 it's your LH surge which means ovulation should follow in the next 24-48 hours. So yes, get on it 🍆🍆🍆

@larrythelizard thanks angel.... I'll try 🤣🤣🤣 I've 2 stepdaughters so it's not always easy... but I'll try!!!! I only did a test just on a fluke.. and was so surprised to see a peak ! xx

Managed to jump on although I appear to have dropped off the passenger list 🤔 nothing really to report just keeping my fingers and toes crossed for all you ladies.

Late night signal check in whoop whoop!

@Amy00 massive good luck for tomorrow, we know it's so hard and really hoping this is your rainbow, I absolutely love that picture btw

@amy2503 get on him 😆🍆🍆🍆

@Haiyaa that was probably my gutting and pasting that dropped you off I'm sorry

Oh no @GuessHowMuch, see I have to hide from the sun as I have vitiligo as a result of my chemo so I'm a leopard trying to still not go red constantly putting on factor 50. Make sure you slap it on tomorrow it says 27 for us 😱😳

@Sausage1990 they are soooo gorgeous! Sewing bee it Def is in the future

@JuniperAndTonic we all get like that

@bez91 bloody hell that was close! I hate the corrosive oven cleaner so it's my excuse to avoid it. Oven cleaning in general that is!

@Clairey844 it was so beautiful, obviously helped by the weather but we actually felt on holiday! That's so cute I'm so happy 🥰😘

@lucyrp just say your midwife says ❌🤣

@Franklydear don't worry we'll try keep you sane!

Come on July we need more BFPs!!
Right back inside and to bed for me

Ps what else is there to do with no signal but paint the walls, bugger off blue paint

Jumping on and taking a seat at the back I've a feeling my stop will be at the end of the route.

@Sausage1990 wow they are amazing.
I'm a crocheter and I just love making baby blankets and cardigans. I donate to a group that supplies hospitals with preemie and angel clothes.
It's on face book called Needles, Hooks, Preemies and Angels if any one want to take a look. Crochet keeps my anxiety at a manageable level. Since my 5th loss my anxiety has been awful up and down all over the place.
What Hoddesdon do you ladies have/do?

That should have been what hobbies do you ladies have or do? Blooming auto correct is a thorn in my bum.

Hey @larrythelizard & all of you lovely passengers, mind if I join you on the bus 🚎

We are currently on cycle 1 and are TTC #2, according to my pee sticks and apps I am currently 4/5 DPO... Will have to ask to be seated for this bus ride as I have recently been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, it's been a massive shock to the system as I'm only 26, but I'm beginning to adjust to the new tablet rota and aches and pains... Trying to focus all of my energy on TTC, we are excited and it gives me hope for the future 🙏🏻

Will also try to keep up with the bus chat as much as I can, I'm usually fast asleep by now but have got engrossed in your convos 😂

@Sausage1990 The two piece you posted above looks soooo cute! Will search you up on Insta 😍

I'm excited to join all of your journeys 💪🏻🚎

@bez91 yeah I'm going to see how I go Monday/ Tuesday and then decide 🙈 I have a MW appointment Tuesday morning so can always use that to help me

@Minster2012 definitely thinking about it 😳😂

Waaaah! My rheumatoid flared up last night (I did too much yesterday) and I’ve been in so much pain I haven’t slept yet. Also feel sick and having really bad cramps (10 DPO so a bit early for cramps for me). I decided to do a cheapy test in the hope of being able to take a bit of codeine and I’ve got the tiniest squinter. I can’t even get a photo it’s so faint. I had a chemical the cycle before last so a bit worried about another one - that’s if it’s even a line. Maybe I’ve got line shaped sunburn on my eyes 😂🦞🦞 Will definitely be slathered in Factor 50 today @Minster2012

Sorry to hear about your diagnosis @SunshineAndRainbows6 It really can be a horrible disease. Good luck on your TTC journey!

Just caught up from the last thread and got my flippy annual bus sparkle long cycle cyster club pass ready to get my seat on the bus 🙃🤭

will try to be more of a visible passenger this time as I will be starting the next chapter of my fertility journey with my clinic appointment on 28th wahoooooooo rather than lurking underneath the seat where the stale chewing gum is and graffiti willys are drawn 🙃🤣

@Somatronic I feel you there girl with your MIL it’s like they have no filter sometimes towards what they say or your feelings! I hope your next gathering with her goes smoothly for your wedding anniversary 🤞🏻 if not, make sure you have plenty of wine at hand to be able to tolerate her that little bit more 🙈 mine also loves drama and being nosey at all chances 🤣🙈🙈

@larrythelizard the Thai night was lush! However because I don’t really like much heat I could have done with a glass of milk because I’m a wuss after eating that red Thai curry 🤣 but no regrets though was beautiful! Have a lovely weekend with your sister, maybe alcohol can make things abit more easier for you? Little giggle to myself now as I keep recommending alcohol to make people more tolerable.. deffo a pattern at the moment 🍷

@bez91 thanks chick the Thai was lush! Would deffo have it again :)! Happy weekend 💁🏼‍♀️☀️ the sun is out already and my house is boiling and it’s only 6:20 as I’m writing this, anyone would think I’ve shit the bed with getting up at this time on a morning on a weekend! I wonder if majority of the MILs have some form of job description of “being a twat” as an essential role to adapt to 🤔 🤣

@justanothercyster ooo I’ve never heard of that before if it’s any good and the proxceed doesn’t do the trick I’ll look into that one for hub after! Hope your alright hun :)

@Sunshineandrainbows6 sending hugs over for your diagnosis, hopefully when your on the right treatment path those aches and pains can be kept at bay for you xx

@Guesshowmuch you never know at 10 DPO depending on late implantation it could be just too early, fingers and toes crossed that it’s that outcome for you lovely! Sending hugs from your restless night from pain hopefully your flare up settles down soon 🤞🏻xx

Happy weekend everyone! Wish me luck with the collides inlaws and my side family BBQ today and I’m being a dedicated driver so wine can’t even save me on this one 🙈 may be quiet over next 2 days but will catch up when I can 💁🏼‍♀️

@Minster2012 we fell asleep last night 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ but managed a quickie before the girls woke up this morning 🤣not sure how successful it was because it was so short.... hopefully we can try again tonight when they are more asleep... thanks lovely x

@kaylsd good luck with the bbq you have my sympathies!!!
@amy2503 pretty sure we were successful with a very sexy spontaneous quickie so don't write them off 😉

Well isn't this lovely sunshine outside?!!

Morning ladies & hopefully later will be better @amy2503

Welcome @SunshineAndRainbows6 we have very comfy seats here so hopefully that's ok for you, I'm also with the many tablets so I know the feeling

@GuessHowMuch really hoping that squinter gets darker over the coming days 🤞🏻but that's rubbish about waking up early

@Mumlili9 crochet I think someone else does that?! I don't really have many hobbies, let me think

@kaylsd good luck with MIL today, I have the pleasure next weekend. So warm here already too!

@amy2503 yayyy success! Lacking 🍆 over here for DH, not tracked for a couple of months but did an OPK this morning, left it on the kitchen side and let DH have a lie in, I've gone out. "Passive aggressive OPK" 🙄

@Minster2012 at least it motivates you to do it I suppose? 😆

Oh @Haiyaa that will be my ineptitude not anything else, I'm very sorry!!!

Hi everyone, jumping on the bus again 😊

Pretty sure today is CD1, my BBT tanked this morning and I'm crampy and mardy so onto cycle 4 I go...feeling pretty down TBH, I know we've barely started trying but I can just feel another battle looming over me, stupid shitty Endo 😭

This was only a 21 day cycle thanks to my early ovulation (CD12) and crappy 9 day luteal phase. Just hoping it's not perimenopause as I'm 37

@larrythelizard I started my new job on 28th June as it was an internal promotion within my team so got the job on the Friday and started the following Monday. Have you got a start date yet?

Morning everyone!

@GuessHowMuch hope your sunburn isn’t too sore this morning! I was at work most of yesterday so managed to avoid the sunburn, but I’m off out for the day today so definitely going to be slapping it on!! Hope your squinted becomes something!

@Amy00 good luck for your scan today!

Welcome @SunshineAndRainbows6! I have a long term condition too, also on medication, so I know how you feel! Hope it’s a short journey for you! 🤞🏻

I’m off out today to see my sister which includes a train trip and the London Underground which I’m
Not looking forward to in this hot weather but it will be worth it to see her! I’m 9DPO but going to try and forget about that for a few days!
