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

Oooh @Amy00 I'm so so sorry to hear that, devastated for you all 😢 Sending lots of love and air hugs 🙏🏻 💕

Minster2012 · 17/07/2021 16:07

3am @paintfairy wowsers, but it is ridiculously hot

paintfairy · 17/07/2021 16:10

@Minster2012 I hate hot weather like this! It looks like it's going to be an uncomfortable week. I get really irritable. 🙈

Clairey844 · 17/07/2021 16:23

Oh @Amy00 I am so so sorry, life is bloody cruel and not at all fair. I hope you have good support around you xxx

Haiyaa · 17/07/2021 16:33

So sorry @Amy00, I can’t imagine how devastated you must feel. Take care of yourself. 💔

2020mission · 17/07/2021 16:33

Thanks for adding me to the bus again @larrythelizard still keen to follow along.

@Juno231 lovely photos! I'm glad the weather up here has held up for your trip. I can imagine it would be quiet a different holiday if it was our usual miserable weather 😅

@Amy00 absolutely gutted for you. I remember way back at the beginning of the bus you were one of the first I remember to get pregnant and it's just heartbreaking that this has happened to you so many times since then. I hope they can help with some testing. Big hugs and take care of yourself!

@Sausage1990 loving your creations, already following along on Instagram. I might have to put an order in some time! Hope you're doing ok.

Haiyaa · 17/07/2021 16:35

Don’t worry @Minster2012 and @larrythelizard you won’t get rid of me that easily 😂 my ticket is valid I promise!

@SunshineAndRainbows6 that is one hell of a story!!! 🤣🤣🤣 poor man!

Minster2012 · 17/07/2021 16:49

Soooooo did we decide a quickie standing up bonk whilst DS in the paddling pool still counts right?? There was a fair bit of ahem...spillage?? Some swimmers must have been forwards & upwards right??? 🤭

Catherinettc · 17/07/2021 17:26

Hello ladies!

Popping on to mark my spot ❤

Absolutely loving the wee set @Sausage1990 made for Caolan. I will post pics once it arrived 😁 he can be a wee brand ambassador 😉🤣

Got his name tattooed today 💙 so that's another added to try build up my half sleeve that I want. Want all of the tattoos on it to mean something so its taking a while lol

Hope everyone is enjoying this fantastic weather 😀

DKDK123 · 17/07/2021 17:33

@minster2012 It definitely counts, it means thee strongest swimmers will be right up there and all the crappy ones left to be a puddle on the floor.....or a dribble down your leg 😂 Kudos to you for managing a quickie with DS around, I've yet to achieve my DS being occupied for more than 2mins without coming to find me to allow me a quickie sesh, is it too late to set a new year goal? 🤔😂

DKDK123 · 17/07/2021 17:33

Lovely tat for your boy @Catherinettc 💙

bez91 · 17/07/2021 19:14

So sorry @Amy00 💕 how shitty and cruel 🙁 take good care of yourselves x

@SunshineAndRainbows6 fab story, poor bloke though 😂

What!? @Minster2012 I'm with @DKDK123 how is that even possible whilst in charge of a child. DD is either asleep or not with us. Well done you 😆

Eye is good thanks ladies @DKDK123 @Juno231 phewww 😬 your holiday looks gorgeous @Juno231 loving the photos!

Minster2012 · 17/07/2021 19:32

@Catherinettc that's lovely perfect tribute to your gorgeous boy

@DKDK123 & @bez91 well it was kinda DS's idea! He said "mummy is a got hills chasing me, daddy you need to chase her into the house & make her stay there!" DH : er "how long should I make her stay there?"
"5 minutes"

Ok then. Challenge accepted 🤫🤭

Dollybird89 · 17/07/2021 19:42

@DKDK123 this was deffo inspired by you ☺️ had a bash at some wire work... Though I've found I need some better pliers so I don't scratch the wire. I do have a wire jig in my eBay basket now though thanks!!

@Minster2012 How you DTD in this heat I'll never know! I'm melting and the thought of dtd makes me hot just thinking bout it 🤣 starting opks tomorrow hopefully... What times best you think? I got the cheap easy@home ones

Dollybird89 · 17/07/2021 19:42

Should have attached pic 🤦

DKDK123 · 17/07/2021 20:00

@Minster2012 if that leads to a bfp what a great conception story to bring up when they're older 😂😂😂

@Dollybird89 loving the tree pendant, if you can make that then you'll be a pro with the jig. Happy crafting! 😁

Minster2012 · 17/07/2021 20:39

@DKDK123 definitely!! Though it's a bit before FW I'm worried we are gonna be bored of DTD already! It should have said mummy is a gorilla bloody typing!

Still sat outside it's so nice!

Justanothercyster · 17/07/2021 21:03

@Amy00 I'm so sorry lovely, heartbroken can't even begin the cover it. Sending lots of hugs 💕💕💕

Franklydear · 17/07/2021 21:59

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4298169-how-do-i-find-out-her-name This is sooo us, some of us at least, an old lady I know calls me Abby, not my name, she’s been corrected by other people but still persist, I don’t particularly care much

Kirky658 · 17/07/2021 22:15

@amy00 oh hun I'm so so sorry to read your update. Sending you so much love and hugs x

Minster2012 · 17/07/2021 22:31

Last signal of the night!!
@Franklydear this reminds me of our friends. Well DH's friends more mine. She pronounces my name wrong each time since we met (well
The shortening I use which DOES NOT HAVE A "H" on it). I tried to correct her for a year. Then gave up. My friends comment on it, "why does she call you XXXXX" even at our wedding she didn't twig that everyone else was saying it different. She made our cake. Nope. Now 10 years later I well and truly give up 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

Also this has just come up on my Facebook feed. Reminds me of our games of "sex toy or dog toy?"

Here I go again...TTC Bus 45 - blood sucking dungeons, whitesnake and angry cervixes all welcome...
Franklydear · 17/07/2021 22:53

@Minster2012 ooh I wonder what is a shortening for? Oh, the legendary sex toy or dog toy....

feliznavidad2 · 17/07/2021 23:11

I'll try and catch up tomorrow, too tired now. 10dpo here and not a sniff of a BFP.

Been eating well the last few days, in an attempt to miraculously fix my spotting problem 🙄 'coz we all know a few years of hardcore carbs, gin and sweet treats can be fixed with a few days of sensibleness. Ho hum. Step in the right direction though.

Mumlili9 · 18/07/2021 04:38

@Amy00 I'm so very sorry to hear you sad news. Sending you healing thoughts.

@feliznavidad2 I have read that spotting can be caused by low progesterone might be worth having a blood test next cycle at 7dpo. It's an easy fix if it is low though.

As for me FF has finally decided I ovulated on cd12 so I'm 3dpo now thats ages away from test day . I hate the tww it drives me mad. Thus will be my 18th tww since my ectopic. This heat is something else isn't it . I'm not complaining I love summer but wow its hot xx

polkadotpixie · 18/07/2021 07:47

@Amy00 So sorry for your loss

Despite my super low temp yesterday, AF didn't show and it's gone back up a bit today. I still feel like she's imminent but at least that gives me a 10 day luteal phase so I'm feeling a bit better about that, the Vitamin B6 & C have definitely helped improve it from 8/9 to 10 so I'm going to carry them on
