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

Checking back in after a weekend largely offline at a wedding/being hungover etc etc

@Amy00 I'm so sorry for your loss, pleased they're able to do some testing you might get some answers. Hope the pain is easing off.

That's my approach too @feliznavidad2 although determined to sort myself with the next 6 weeks of relaxed life!

Good luck this morning @bez91!

I love Tenby too @lucyrp @Franklydear!

Get you with your sexy photo shoot @Kirky658 witty woo!

Lol at a scarecrow making being on your to-do list @Minster2012!

Busy day at work but starting to taper off!

Thanks ladies all done, I wasn't in long. I have a habit of verbal diarrhoea in interviews. All good stuff just talk way to quickly. Off to Costa for an iced coffee.

@DKDK123 chocolate for breakfast is always good in a pity party for one but surely it doesn't count if you've done lots of walking before. I really hope it's not AF on its way for you.

@Minster2012 sounds busy busy, house renovation takes all your time doesn't it. Damn inconvenient FW but if you can squeeze in a shag whilst DS in paddling pool I'm confident you've got this 😆

@larrythelizard sounds an epic weekend. What are you going to do with 6 weeks of relaxation? Sounds amazing, hope the weather stays nice (If you like that kind of thing ☀️)

Same here @bez91 when I get nervous I talk more. Enjoy your iced coffee!

I will be enjoying sitting in the garden and not doing a lot as well as a deep clean of the house and also a spot of decorating. Maybe a bit of running, depends on how the guilt for not doing any work even though I don't have any work to do! Would be better if it was official gardening leave!

If anyone can sneak in a random shag on their fertile week it's @Minster2012!

@Minster2012 yeah OK really. Not thinking about it, or expecting it to work. I'm going away for a few days Thursday (test day) so I'll be distracted after too.

Hey all, just checking in and taking my seat.

Been MIA for the week after my loss and also the lack of signal, which in a way helped us more than id realise. OH is even more keen to know more and be involved after his few days of thinking he was going to be a dad, now he wants it more than ever. Plus we know it can happen so there's no stopping us!

Arrived home late Sat and yesterday I crashed emotionally and physically and slept half the day! Thankfully we booked today off work to recover and it's the school holidays already?! How!

I will try and catch up as best I can later when I get 5 (or 50) mins! Might sneak a cool bath so I can have a good catch up!

Back to OPKS for me this week (should be ov at weekend) cycle number 4...

Much love to you all xxx

@Amy00 I'm so sorry to hear the pain you've been in, I can't even begin to imagine, I agree with the other girls, definitely speak to your OH and let him know how you're feeling and I'm sure he will give you the reassurance you need lovely, sending hugs❤️

@DKDK123 I'll hold onto some hope for you secretly x

@Minster2012 yasss to FW🍆

@bez91 glad the interview went well x

So I think I just got my peak opk, I'll do another one later and tomorrow to check but guessing as ovulation tomorrow so going to book my bloods in for the 28th, trying to get through to book them though is a pain!!

Having a bit of a crappy day today to be honest, had amazing sex last night (drunk sex, always think I'm a pornstar) but woke up this morning with horrendous sciatica all in my left bum check, round my vag, down my leg, I'm in so much pain with it, went to my friends earlier too and our other friend was there who has a 19 month old, which she got pregnant with the week after coming off the pill, and she told me she's 8 weeks pregnant, I did my best "omg congratulations that's amazing I'm so happy for you", which I am but god I had to try so hard to hold back the tears, then one of the other girls said "were you trying" and obviously the answer "I'd come off the pill to help my body but we weren't trying, I didn't know until I was 5 weeks", came out, and that just crushed me, I even missed the gym which I'd never do especially when down because it makes me feel better but I literally couldn't bring myself to go, so going to have some dinner now then go for a long walk!

Oh that's handy @paintfairy good to have decent distraction.

Pleased you've popped back in @Lexber - you've been in my thoughts. How lovely OH is so interested. Day off today sounds like a good plan.

Oh @Vil10 that's so tough for you. You've got an annoyingly fertile bunch of friends haven't you? Have you thought about telling them you're struggling so they might be more sensitive? Long walk sounds a great plan.

@larrythelizard it definitely seems that way, I've had a cry and rang my mum and given her the whole "it just isn't fair speech" and she was amazing, I have considered telling them but I just don't want everyone knowing we're having tests etc, I want to keep it quite private

Oh @Vil10 it’s so hard to hear friends getting pregnant at the drop of their knickers when you’re deliberately trying and not yet getting there. Glad your mum is nice to talk to about it.

@Kirky658 @bez91 @larrythelizard @DKDK123
Hey there lovely ladies I survived the both families collide bbq! The weather was beautiful trying to top up those white bits best I can.. There was just two comments where I could have dropped kicked them right in the head.. one was “you don’t know how different it’s like when you’ve got your own kids” and “when you and Kayleigh have your own kids… my hub said dad you know what me and r lass is going through, there’s nowt up with you both you’ll have a kid don’t know why you worry” 🙃🙃🙃🙃 and just like that everything was worry free.. arseholes 🤣 then went onto some spiel how like dogs are like children and how my mable is like our baby but I think that was more to dig themselves out of the massive hole they previously dug with those comments of we don’t know what it’s like until you’ve got your own 😶

Just catching up on the posts over the weekend lovely lot

@Amy00 I’m so sorry Amy sending you lots of hugs over to you both, I’m hoping with you guys being referred into the specialist people it means that you can get some answers❤️

@Minster2012 I think the strong swimmers or the swimmers with armbands or potentially ones sailing on a unicorn will deffo have reached up there, dribble aside 🤣😘

@Bez91 also good luck with your interview today darling🙈😘

@vil10 it’s so hard to hear comments like that with the fertile friends mine are also like it where they have sex once and bamn the stalks come and deliver their baby! Have you thought about having a quiet word to just have abit of sensitivity of the conversation around you to have abit more consideration to what your going through? A similar instance happened to me but my friend was so apologetic as she saw tunnel vision of her happiness bubble and didn’t think of how it may portray back to me and apologised profusely, sending lots of hugs to you you aren’t alone on this one, we’ve all got your back girl ❤️

Just a check in from work ladies, sweating like nothing right, chub rub on the thighs which is always a beautiful site on a Monday morning 🙈 CD 78, 42 days late and my ovaries are in quarantine it seems as they don’t bloody work 🙈

@minster2012 i wish, got this week and next week then a weeks leave and then the last week, finish 13th August!

@vil10 damn her, hope you are OK after your chat with your mumma ❤️

@lexber nice to see from you and lovely that OH is so invested too, I hope you're both OK xx

@kaylsd glad it all went OK!

@larrythelizard the photographer just posted it on her Facebook page, omg it's amazing, I'm trying to decide if it's appropriate to insta/ fb as I'm in my undies 🤣

@larrythelizard yeah that's what I think. Pick yourself up and move on. 🤣 I'm already there in my head.....
@Vil10 Jesus. Your friends! Nightmare. Mum's are always good though.
@kaylsd FFS? What on earth is wrong with people? Twats. They deserve to stay in their hole!

I do think it must make a massive difference what people say/do. I am very lucky in not surrounded by friends/family having kids or with them on the brain. The worrying part of that is i worry ours would be isolated. But at least i don't have people bringing it up every 3 minutes. 🙄
@bez91 good luck!
@Lexber nice to see you again

@Minster2012 yeah my 36 week appointment tomorrow morning which is birth plan etc! Be interesting to see if they're still head down which I'm sure they are. Fingers crossed! Everyone seems to think il come early apart from OH who thinks il go over 🤣🙈

@larrythelizard its gorgeous isn't it! So lovely as a romantic getaway but also as a family holiday

@Kirky658 you gorgeous!
@Minster2012 ouch, I just look at your insta
@lucyrp omg, you are so close, use the midwife to get what you need

Ds doing my heading today, honestly, at least he’s found his new shoes!

@lucyrp eeeee exciting!!
@franklydear ❤️❤️❤️

Cd14/15 who’s counting, having cramps, ewcm still and still horny, I think I am ovulating late this cycle, usually around cd 11.... slowly losing my mind

Oh @Vil10 sorry all your friends are so super fertile. It's so hard to know where to look when you feel your heart sink in those conversations. Your mum sounds ace, glad you ended up telling her about it ❤️

@kaylsd glad you lived to tell the tale of the in laws, bellends! Damn you ovaries not coming out of quarantine too! I have a big family party start of August, we live away from them but are all quite close so I am expecting the Spanish inquisition from aunties and cousins on a baby.

@Franklydear later ov may be good, yeah? 🍆 Snap I'm CD15, having weird cramps like I haven't before .

@bez91 I've fit everything crossed you've got this job! Round off the promotions nicely!

@Juno231 loving the hol pics, and Time off work whoop whoop!

@Vil10 bloody hell your mates really need to realise it's your time not them and keep their knickers on ffs. I must have sent the "no babies til Vil gets one" by carrier pigeon 😫

@paintfairy where you off? Your kids will be fine don't worry!

@Lexber I'm pleased you are feeling better & the time off helped, we might be in similar cycle stages 🤞🏻

@Sunbird24 how are you feeling? When's your scan gonna be?

Bloody hell @kaylsd your ovaries need to get with the plan ffs. When's your fertility appointment? And well done for keeping cool at the comments 🙌🏻

@Kirky658 yeahhhh it's beautiful and def appropriate you look AMAZING!!

@lucyrp oooo I hope it's all good tomorrow & still head down! Can't believe it's so close

@Franklydear is ovulating early a bad thing?

Must def sneak in that shagging tho DH on a right downer atm so not sure he's gonna be on with this FW ☹️

Late not early @Franklydear ffs

@bez91 that might do the trick, right? I have a very skimpy nightdress I like to wear without underwear,...

@Minster2012 not a bad thing, just unusual, hoping for better quality eggs, not raw ones, you need a skimpy nightdress too?

Yes more mature eggs hopefully @Franklydear! That's what they are doing! I don't have a skimpy nightdress but I'm not wearing much & it's not getting any attention 🙄

Yes @Franklydear 😉 @Minster2012 looks like we're all on it tonight (or trying) 🍆 good luck ladies!

You never know @paintfairy (although it's hope that's the most dangerous thing isn't it? ☹️)

Bloody hell @Kirky658 you are one HOT mama!!! Witty woo!!

If you're horny that's fun at least @Franklydear?!

@bez91 mad isn't it how there's different symptoms all the time?!

I'm spotting which means AF incoming, will be glad for my boobs to deflate a bit! Obv not preggo as this is the first cycle since Sept we haven't had sex!

Can't work out how to deal with this TTC hiatus, avoiding FW or just condoms. I'm thinking the latter...then I won't be conflicted about it!

@Minster2012 horse camp with no horse. 🤣 With a friend.
@larrythelizard yeah the hope is the dangerous part. Last time I still started spotting 3 days before AF (tomorrow) despite the progesterone. So I'm awaiting that happening. If it doesn't, then you get tricked into hoping. 🤣 My boobs are agony though so I'm certainly not enjoying that element of it.
