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

@larrythelizard we are so lucky, parents have a caravan permanently on a site, it's a tourer but high end one so we love it. 5 mins from the beach.

@franklydear good shout from your DH, I waited till cd29 too my cycles were normally 25 x

becarefuloutthere · 31/07/2021 20:10

@Laurenxx94 congratulations 🥳

I saw ppl asking yesterday but haven't scrolled bk again today to see who to tag but I'm in shawlands near crossmyloof which is an excellent name for a train station 😆 I've eaten so much but can't ever finish a meal so have breakfast and lunch in the fridge before my flight bk tomorrow!

Franklydear · 31/07/2021 20:41

Today we made history, we had quiche for family dinner, for the first time ever, there wasn't an alternative

Laurenxx94 · 31/07/2021 20:59

@becarefuloutthere thankyou! Also that's about 20 minutes from me! Xx

becarefuloutthere · 31/07/2021 21:20

@Laurenxx94 I love it along Kilmarnock road, went had a lovely brunch this morning and went to oro tonight for amazing pizza! I love being up here, everyone's so friendly too.

Here I go again...TTC Bus 45 - blood sucking dungeons, whitesnake and angry cervixes all welcome...
Minster2012 · 31/07/2021 21:22

Shattered so I'm sorry I don't have the brain power to scroll back 🤣

Party done. Nope the house isn't back to good. But had fab spontaneous sex on the sofa instead

Butttt @becarefuloutthere you what!?!! That's not a real station! 🤪a bit like the street called "whipmawhopmagate" in York! Love it

@Franklydear when's CD28 then??

Laurenxx94 · 31/07/2021 21:28

@Minster2012 glad the party went well and glad you manage to get a little fun out of it too 😀 xx

Franklydear · 31/07/2021 21:31

@Minster2012 perfect end to the party! clean up tomorrow, cd 28 is Tuesday 😭

Lexber · 31/07/2021 21:41

I'm fine @Kirky658 but been out for a meal and demolished some chips and now in bed falling asleep at this time of night!!!

I know @larrythelizard me and OH said that earlier it's very very similar to last month but earlier in DPO, I think IF I got caught again I may have implanted earlier this time hence feeling this shit a few days earlier.. time will tell! Oh and sizzling steak wotsits are AMAZING I may have sat eating a family size bag at breakfast 🤣🤣🤣

The burn is so much better today, the blisters have dried a lot and the rest of the skin is tight in that area but compared to yesterday morning loads better, Altho if I touch it more than a gentle touch it hurts!

@larrythelizard @bez91 I know what you guys mean about bookings nd thinking I may be pregnant then not being by then - it sucks!

Ooh I live quiche @Franklydear but don't but it often as I never get any as my eldest eats it all 🤣🤣

@Minster2012 boo to messy house but screw the house when you can have spontaneous sex!!!! 🎉

@Franklydear 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Anyone ever have sweet smelling CM? I have just been to the loo and I could smell a really sweet smell from no where and TMI but I sniffed around and it was my underwear... I don't go full on nose diving in my pants 🤣🤣

Laurenxx94 · 31/07/2021 22:03

Ladies just a quick question
I currently take vitamin D , C and folic acid and a pregnacare a day! Should I carry on taking all
Of these now I'm pregnant ? I will ring gp on Monday but until then I'm unsure? X

feliznavidad2 · 31/07/2021 22:05

Nipping in following too much prosecco to say eeee! @Laurenxx94 🤞🏻 x x

Laurenxx94 · 31/07/2021 22:13

@feliznavidad2 would love a Prosecco right now to celebrate 🤣 have a lovely evening! Thankyou ❤️

Juno231 · 31/07/2021 22:46

@Laurenxx94 I think I'd drop the vit c and d and swap to pregnacare for when you're pregnant rather then conception one? You don't want too much of the good stuff to be om the safe side

@Minster2012 your sex life astounds me. We've been in this house for 9 months now and have had sex somewhere other than the bed ONCE

@lexber okay firstly I cannot believe how badly you burnt your hand!! Did you run it under cold water for 10-15 min afterwards? As for sweet smelling CM... It sure is a sign of thrush so maybe keep an eye out.

paintfairy · 31/07/2021 22:55

@Juno231 I'm glad it wasn't just me thinking that. We never have spontaneous sex anywhere these days! @Minster2012
@bez91 🤣 how unlucky of us to have the only incompetent drs in the UK.
@Lexber yes I do! Sometimes I think it even smells 'nice' and then have a word with myself. Blush

Laurenxx94 · 31/07/2021 23:00

@Juno231 yeah think that's what il do tomorrow and keep the rest thankyou!

Kirky658 · 31/07/2021 23:13

@laurenxx94 just switch to pregnacare pregnancy that's got everything in that you need x

2020mission · 31/07/2021 23:19

@becarefuloutthere I was one of the ladies who asked. I know shawlands well, but I'm based in the west end so unlikely to bump into you 😅 pizza looks good. Glad you're having a good weekend.

@Laurenxx94 I only took vitamin D and folic acid for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. I was taking seven seas trying for a baby vitamins up until the BFP but moved off that back to just the vitamin D and folic acid as that was all the NHS website recommended and I had a couple of big tubs of them to use up. I had purchased a tub of 13 months worth of folic acid so still taking them now even though I'm out of the first trimester. I was convinced I'd need them for that long if not longer.

InkyPaper · 31/07/2021 23:42

@larrythelizard great memory! I'm impressed 😄 hope you have a lovely week away

@paintfairy @bez91 🤔 that's strange, I would've thought it'd been standard?? However , I do have a crazy cycle so maybe my doctor just thought she'd throw the kitchen sink at it when it came to blood tests? It's odd how much it differs from place to place.

@Minster2012 hope your DS enjoyed his party! Cleanup can definitely be tomorrow's problem 😄

Had a conversation about the IVF stuff with one my friends today and she just kept going it's positive but don't get your hopes up. Like, thank you for that. I am aware it doesn't always work but can we not damn the entire thing before I've even set foot in the clinic?!

Franklydear · 01/08/2021 06:55

Morning all, cd 26 and nothing happening, very wet last night and had a few cramps, could have been gas, but no, nothing there this morning
@Lexber we had the opposite problem, he refused to touch, many sensory issues with food, but clearly working hard to overcome them, it’s the first time he ate as his only dinner, got cheesecake as a celebration
@Laurenxx94 pregnacare has enough of everything, my doctor always says not to get too hang out on these things, they’re just vitamins, the main thing the folic acid and avoid vitamin a in supplements

larrythelizard · 01/08/2021 08:04

Gah @InkyPaper not what you need. 2 of my NCT group were IVF successful first round so it definitely does happen.

Have you got a testing plan @Franklydear?

Sounds great @Kirky658 no holiday homes in this family, caravan or otherwise, I think they've really let us down 😂

Also super jel and maybe inspired by your spontaneous sofa sex @Minster2012!

We're in Suffolk @bez91- took forever to get here but pretty idyllic, house we're staying at is massive and in the middle of nowhere. Have just popped upstairs to avoid the nerf gun battle raging downstairs!

Juno231 · 01/08/2021 08:13

@InkyPaper your friend is a gem isn't she! What she might not realise is how much ivf has advanced in the last decade alone. It used to be a massive shot in the dark yet the stats now for someone your age are incredible. Try out the Lister calculator listerfertility.co.uk/about/pregnancy-calculator/ as I'm sure it'll make you feel better!

@paintfairy @Minster2012 lol after I wrote that I was thinking it's a rare event to even have sex at the end of the bed nevermind actually in a different room 😂

@Franklydear amazing quiche win! Your DS seems to have progressed lots this year, how wonderful!

paintfairy · 01/08/2021 08:15

@Juno231 🤣🤣 no end of the bed here either. God, how depressing!

Justanothercyster · 01/08/2021 08:44

@Laurenxx94 I take Pregnacare and it's got everything you need. Tbh folic acid and vit d is key, so any old vits will be fine. Don't forget theyre only supplements and run on through you in your wee as waste if you don't eat the real foods containing them so make sure your diet is as balanced as you can manage it with nausea!

InkyPaper · 01/08/2021 09:04

@Juno231 that did make me feel better! Thanks ❤️❤️

Vil10 · 01/08/2021 09:07

Heyyy ladies sorry I didn't come on yesterday!! Didn't have any more spotting but feel very periody, I'm still in bed (rough) but I feel like I'll come on this morning, it's all fineeee though! Just went out for a few yesterday afternoon, ended up out all night, went to a club we used to go to like 6 years ago and it was so so weird, I felt like the oldest in there😂 got in at 3am, so feeling a little tender but a chilled day then a roast at my mums should sort me out!!

@InkyPaper Thankyou so much for your help about the prolactin, hopefully it's nothing to worry about!

@Laurenxx94 congratulations!! 🤞🏼 for a sticky one!

@Minster2012 hope the party went well lovely and you treated yourself to some wine after!!
