TTC Bus 46 - where we're all off on our holidays (let's hope that means more BFPs - rubbish results for July!)

[larrythelizard]

Mad scramble from the opposite side of the country to where I normally live to keep the bus running as @minster2012 still has connectivity issues. I'm on holiday in Suffolk with only limited signal so very likely to have missed people, particularly any newbies - it's not personal, I'm very sorry and in exchange I won't charge you for the ticket!

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...let's hope this one has more BFPs and more house luck!

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...although has a lot on her plate at the moment! #shamelessplug

@Kirky658 happy anniversary for yesterday! And thank you for the reminder I need to do something about ours!

Oh no @blackcurrantqueen hope she's perkier today. How many more days of this torture do you have to endure?

@larrythelizard loving the holiday updates also and inlaw ones 😆 my DH would probably be the same as yours on the 🍆 no fun! 🙄

@Minster2012 hope your head isn't too sore this morning, sounds a good night!

@Franklydear I think I can see something but struggling with the flash on the photo 🤞🏼

AF causing me grief, never usually have painful periods. DH is being a sweetie, flowers yesterday for dissertation result, cups of tea etc. Might milk is and drag it out a few more days after AF finished 😆

#bez91 without flash, but I don't think I can see in these ones

I opened it, can’t see anything, I am going to take this as a negative

@Franklydear I think if you can see a vvfl then there's one there. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 so tight!

Impressive brain cells for a drunk person @Minster2012

Beach again this morning, thankfully nothing in the fridge so no need to deal with SIL's militant sandwich making.

I should be showering but am hiding upstairs on MN and also trying to book swimming for when we're home!

@franklydear saw something on the flash one, I have the worst line eyes though

We've decided to head home from the caravan today rather than tomorrow. The weather has turned and its gonna get rainy and windy and we miss our little doggo 😍

Oh and @Juno231 that makes sense but wow, a lot of info!!

@Franklydear I'm sure you're really not meant to break FRERs apart so that proves nothing!

@Juno231 yes I realised that late last night that it only works if @Vil10 can afford the mortgage on their own

@Franklydear I think there's a faint kind on the flash one, let's hope it gets better!!

Sorry DS being a pain and a reason I didn't post yesterday was I twisted my knee getting off the dumper and thought I'd done my cruciate again. Limping A LOT & painful night. PLUS I had my nails done yesterday (these are MY nails not fake), & in the process my nail split and started bleeding inside...how does that even happen?? V painful too

Sorry @Franklydear I can't see anything on them 😔 I know you are not supposed to open the tests but I have done it before to stop myself squinting relentlessly. Hugs to you. A bfn is never nice but harder when af is late and your hopes are up. You areout until the fat witch sings though 🤞

Af showed up so obviously an indentation , only spotting for now, but quite heavy, won’t be long

@Franklydear *aren't out 🤦‍♀️

@Minster2012 sounds like a good night lol! Hope the heads not too sore today!!

Ahh @Vil10 we are wanting to buy our first home in March and I'm already dreading it. I think it's slightly different in scotland but regardless I'm dreading it! It will just be Oh able to go on the mortgage because I've got a bit of debt so he's thinking of asking his mum but I don't know how that will work as she's owned a house before so assuming we won't get the governments help to buy?

@Franklydear don't give up hope just yet I defo think I can see something in the first picture but don't want to get your hopes up !

My line was so faint no one else could see it. I even posted on the pregnancy test app and 13 people said there wasn't a line!
I find putting my finger next to it helps the camera focus or put a ring round it. Il attach my picture of my faint below! Nobody could see it but I knew something was there! Why don't u try one about 1 o'clock holding thags when I found it best xx

@Minster2012 oh no to the knee, to the nails wtf, how you done that?
@Manifestingbaby I don’t think there was anything to see, my boobs and tummy went down a bit this morning too, of course after testing
@larrythelizard @Kirky658 there was something if you hold it to the light on a certain angle, I am sure is not supposed to work that way, on opening them up, well that thing is definitely dead now!

@Laurenxx94 thank you darling, but started bleeding so, I think this is it,

ouch @Minster2012 ! Get some pain killers and try to rest it!

@Franklydear I hope the spotting stops and there is a line!!

Well we might have chicken pox in the house - currently waiting for a call from drs after I sent some pictures in, I was disturbed at midnight by the eldest to show me her spots on her arms and legs... then woken by Oh at 5am as the cat was outside the door crying - not sure why he couldn't just sort her out and take her down and had to wake me?! 🤔 but I feel absolutely fucked this morning!

SIL had baby in early hours, I know as I saw on fb... I hope to god she messaged OH or I will be so pissed off that we found out on fb as her mum posted a pic...!! Not spoken to grumpy OH yet so no idea if he knew before hand, if he did i will point out it would have been nice for him to tell me!! 🖕🏼 I'm in such a great mood today... 🤣🤣

@Franklydear so sorry honey, it's never gets any easier xx
@Minster2012 ouch your nail looks so painful 😓 hope it stops hurting soon!
@Lexber eek I hope it's not chicken pox! Have you had them before? I'm intrigued to see if your OH did know about the birth, crap way of finding out otherwise! They were very quick getting it on fb tbf. Probably something my mum would do unless I explicitly said no! 😆

@Franklydear I'm so sorry sending massive hugs xx

@Lexber oh no I hated when my girl had chicken pox there so horrible she still has a slight scar on her cheek when she picked one lol!!

That would be such a shame to find out on Facebook. Was it a girl or boy?
Men can just be so grumpy and always think there in the right! Pisses me off 😂🥴

@Minster2012 that looks very painful I'm not actually sure how that can just happen did you bang it off something? Xx

@Lexber my ds has a cute scar between his eye and his nose from the pox, luckily he was 4 when he had it, he has a heat rush, he’s been insufferable for, pharmacist gave us a cream that work nearly instantly thankfully
I am having coffee with all the caffeine, and chocolate crepes for breakfast with Vera on the telly and the boy on headphones with his pokemons, it’s going to be a fuck it! day, I promised ds we could go on a pokemon go hunt so can’t stay in my sofa all day, fortunately and sadly at the same time

@Franklydear gutted for you, I think SOME frers are a bitch for an indentation line - not all though! Sorry AF showed up xx

@Minster2012 holy fucking ouch balls!! That looks so sore 😩 I wonder if the gel has made it brittle then it's just kinda snapped? 😭

@Lexber POASSSS??? 😇 will keep everything crossed that it isn't chicken pox 😩

@bez91 technically today is her day 5 and our day 8, so oh and I can go out Sunday, but she can't until Wednesday! I think honestly I might just go out for a solo walk or something Sunday just to get out the house 😂
She's absolutely fine now so just bored!!

Hiya ladies hope your all ok, I'm gonna be a bit absent for a while as the drama with my dad's carer hit a new low , so now I'm trying o get him moved to a care home 🤦 got to visit one today then drive back down south again (only went yesterday) so I can meet with SS.

No af yet cd 29.. was expecting stress to bring her out but nothing yet. @Franklydear sorry the witch is here xx sending hugs .

I'll check back in when I can 😊

@Minster2012 ouch!!! When I first saw the photo I thought you had a little sperm painted on 🤣

@Franklydear so sorry love. At least you are not left in limbo x

@blackcurrantqueen hugs to you, sohard been trapped in with a little one.

@Dollybird89 sorry to hear. Hope you get all sorted soon

@Lexber POAS already!! 😋

@Franklydear oh honestly ffs

@blackcurrantqueen freedom is not too far off, the end is in sight darling

On the nail, I was trying to take down the roll on the dumper and somehow tweaked it?! I don't know, it's got SNS on it so shouldn't be as brittle as gel but yeah I guess so, really sodding painful both are (knee & nail) 😣

@Dollybird89 good luck with sorting out your dad. These things are very stressful sending hugs

@Manifestingbaby yes, I don’t feel too bad, I was hoping but was never more than a maybe

Morning everyone, AF is actually kicking my arse this time, so I'm gonna just lie low until it passes and I feel less like death. We've sent in our latest IVF paperwork now so hopefully all we have to do is wait for the clinic to get in touch!

Taking my seat..... thanks @larrythelizard

@Vil10 unfortunately yes the stamp duty has always been a thing. I had a long and complicated issue to enable us to buy, for the same reason. I won't bore you. 🤣
As for selling/buying - that's why many people struggle to buy their dream house. Because the chances of it being available when you sell are slim. So most just make do. Its crap. Renting in the interim is the only way and i do know people with pets that have done this. You'll be surprised how many do allow pets these days. But if your house sells fast then actually you might be able to make it work? You just need to move quickly? I hate house buying. Never again!
@Lexber oh I don't understand the ivf speak either. 🤣 its fine!
@Franklydear sorry about AF. Witch.
@Dollybird89 stressful times!
