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

Ouch @GuessHowMuch hope you're not too sore today! Hoping that line turns into something 🤞🏼

Very much welcome @SunshineAndRainbows6, hope it's a short trip for you. My mum has a variant of rheumatoid arthritis so I've seen how nasty it is, what a shock! The price for your joining the bus is an embarrassing story...!

I essentially stropped out of work when I was quite very pregnant @lucyrp and sort of implied by blood pressure was too high!

Ooh the 28th isn't far off @kaylsd!

Hot hot hot today, I'm going to a wedding, assume my make-up will slide off before the ceremony is even done!

Impressive work @polkadotpixie how is it? I don't start until mid-Sept so a while still! Could you go and get bloods done to find out what's what?

Good luck with your scan @Amy00

@larrythelizard Yeah I'm really enjoying it, it's much more interesting than my old job

I actually had CD3 bloods done before Christmas, just LH/FSH and they were perfect. I know my AMH is pretty low though. I'm going to give it until 6 cycles I think and then see my GP

@larrythelizard thank you for the new bus - just here to grab my seat.

@bez91 how's the eye!

I've read aaaalll the posts but there's far too much for me to comment on. Just know I'm lurking whilst on holiday :)

Morning all,

Thanks for your kind words and wishes, sorry to hear @Minster2012 @JuniperAndTonic that you are both on medication as well, it's sucks doesn't it! But we will get there 💪🏻 Positive attitude! 🙏🏻

@larrythelizard Embarrassing story, oooh hell! I have a cracker.... Happened just last week actually, I'm still mortified.... Doing our usual weekly shop in tescos, DS in the trolley and partner deciding on 'binge snacks' for our movie night.... Saw down the isle my Uncle who was also looking at chocolate, and seemed to be in deep thought as to what to pick 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 So me being me, pushed the trolley up the aisle and slapped him on the back of the head (He's bald, so it's something I've always done as the sound of hilarious) at the same time I said "You don't need anymore chocolate you fatty" (again another thing we joke about to each other, as we always seem to be eating lol) ...... Turns out it wasn't my uncle but indeed a total stranger who was now starring at me in total shock 🤦🏻‍♀️😩😂 I apologised a thousand times and explained he could have passed for my Uncles doppelgänger from behind and have never completed the rest of my shop in such a hurry 😂👏🏻

Can I take a seat on the bus now please? 💺😉

Taking my seat on the new bus. AF due around Thurs/Fri. Im going to be a POAS addict from Monday. I must say I'm actually optimistic this month, usually I don't get my hopes up as I know any bfp will most likely end in another CP but with the earlier ovulation time this month instead of my usual later ones I'm excited during the tww for once. It does mean I'm going to need a shit load of chocolate and wine from the disappointment when AF turns up but that was going to happen regardless if I was hopeful or not as this AF will signal going into the 2 years mark of ttc hell 🙄 Keeping everything crossed I don't reach that u wanted milestone 🤞

@SunshineAndRainbows6 that's a hilarious embarrassing story 🤣🤣🤣

I am with @Juno231, way too much to comment on, but what a lovely happy helpful bunch of ladies, I love you all
Hobbies, I crochet and knitt, unfortunately don’t have a lot of free time but it does help with anxiety and calmness
The clothes and the jewellery look awesome, good luck with the shops @Sausage1990 and @Dollybird89
All your holidays look fab, we are hoping for a sneaky weekend away at the beginning of august, didn’t manage leave together this year but what we got works well, we have school transition, and cannot travel home anyway...
Fw must have be on the way out, going by cd numbers, just guessing, didn’t cover it well, but who knows, af due in august so not thinking about it yet
Look the sun is out!

Also there’s pics of my things on my insta, i don’t have a shop but I do things for people if they ask

I attached pics btw that didn't seem to stick 😭

@SunshineAndRainbows6 Holy cracker that's one hell of a story 🤣

Taking my seat!

Just having a quick scroll back. Hope all goes well with your scan today @amy00 I understand you not wanting to bond at the minute but hopefully this scan gives you some added reassurance.

@Sausage1990 what a gorgeous little set 😍 I miss crafting, I used to sell jewellery but had it all set up in the spare room which became DS room once he was born and the stuff hasn't been out the box since. Maybe once he's a bit older I'll have time to get back into it again. Would love to be able to make clothes like you but I hate to admit I don't even know how to take up a hem on my own trousers 🙈😂

@lucyrp I feel for you being pregnant and on your feet in this heat! 🥵

@Clairey844 due so soon how exciting! 😁

How's your eye today @bez91?

@Dollybird89 nice sets 😊 You should try wire bending, you can buy the wee peg board sets to get you started they're not too expensive. It is fiddly but not too difficult once you get the hang of it but it can make your jewellery stand out and look a bit different from what most others do with just the beads so it'll give your shop a bit more of an edge over some others that don't know how to do it. Even adding a simple clover design between the beads can really make them stand out. I'll see if I have any pics to show you what I mean my explanation is rubbish 😂

Glad you finally got your peak @amy2503! 😁

Did you test again this morning @guesshowmuch? Hoping that squinter turns into a solid line for you 🤞

Goodluck with the inlaws today @kaylsd 😂

How's the new house coming along @Minster2012? I need to get myself an insta to keep up with everyone's extra goss! Hope the decorating is coming along nicely. I was painting till 11pm last night, looked at it in daylight this morn and yea I'll be re doing it 😂😂😂

Gorgeous photos @Juno231, so jealous! 😍

@SunshineAndRainbows6 that's brilliant love it 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

@DKDK123 im really pleased you feel more optimistic that's great! The house is errrrr ell I'm trying to tackle a bit of gardening now & soooo daunted it's unreal the amount of work 😩I was also painting late & think it needs a few more coats

@Juno231 that looks fab so beautiful

Unfortunately the scan this morning showed no heartbeat. She said it was measuring 7 weeks, I should have been almost 8. They've given me the pills so I'm just at home waiting for it to start. They've also given me a pot to "collect" the product to send for testing 😩. This is so unbelievably shit

Oh no @Amy00, such a heartbreak, talk to us through it if you need, or dm if you prefer

I'm so sorry @Amy00 x

Ah no @Amy00, I’m so sorry.

So sorry to hear this @Amy00 😔

@Amy00 I'm so so sorry, sending you huge hugs❤️

@Amy00, heartbroken for you, its so unfair 💔 There are no words that'll give you the comfort you need right now just take care of yourself and know that we're all here giving you a virtual hand hold

Oh @Amy00 I'm so sorry. How utterly shit. I know nothing anyone can say will help you, but know that we are all here if you want to talk xx
@SunshineAndRainbows6 🤣 brilliant!
@DKDK123 same timing as me then! My AF due end of the week.

I'm just taking my seat. I've quickly caught up with goings on but I'm too hungover. 🙈 Slumped in a corner......

@dkd123 I'm slowly branching out and trying new things, the wire stuff sounds great gonna have to look into it some more 😁 gotta wait to do anymore spending as I blew 100 this last week on a ton of supplies 🤣🙈

Oh no @Amy00 there are literally no words darling. If you need more support we are here for pm or on the thread & maybe have a talk to Tommy's. You have the biggest hugs on the bus from us all 😔💔we are here for anything

@paintfairy was it a good night?? (Day?)

@Minster2012 omg yes. Got in at 3am. 🤣 Met up with some work friends and we haven't been out like that since before the first lockdown. Also had some 🍆 when I got home. 😁 Lazing around now complaining its hot.

@Dollybird89 I can't remember the official names for the styles but if you find wire bending tutorials with pics of the ones in these, the spiral, clover and squiggly one I found those 3 to be the simplest designs to learn for when you're just starting out but still look really effective. There are loads of designs you can do you just put your pegs onto the wire jig and bend your wire round it. If you master any other cool but simple designs be sure to let me know, it'll be a few years before I get back into jewellery making but I'd definitely like to do it again once DS is older or DH builds me a woman cave 😂 And yea be prepared to be spending ALL of your money on new beads because you can't resist them 🙈 tho also look in charity shops for necklaces that you can clean, cut up and use the beads off too to save pennies!
