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

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

@Dollybird89 if your dad is going to be in a home, could it be closer to you, hope you get it sorted

Dollybird89 · 05/08/2021 09:48

@franklydear that's the plan, the one I'm off to see is only 20min away ☺️

Lexber · 05/08/2021 09:52

Just working and waiting for a call...

We already knew it would be a girl. I will wait til OH messages me as I can't be arsed this morning after his mardy strop - he's so mardy some mornings! I just stayed in bed and had another hours sleep so he could sort himself out. I wish he would understand the cat is only a baby still and cries as she wants to come in to us, he hates that she comes to me not him (jealousy I think) so does nothing but moan about her yet he was part of the reason we got her 🤔 MEN!! I don't think my hormones help, I have less patience so think fuck him when he is being mardy.
Last night he was chatting away and I just wanted to shout "shut up ffs" but I knew it was me not him lol

@Minster2012 I think I'm waiting til the weekend - I just don't want to know either way right now after last month as we got so excited-then days later it was take away! I started very light spotting the day I had my BFP and that was on/off a couple of days before a heavier than normal bleed 😞 I don't feel pregnant so a couple more days won't hurt and it's not like I do anything o shouldn't anyway - hardly drink, don't smoke, don't really eat stuff I won't be able to lol I'm boring 🤣

Lexber · 05/08/2021 09:57

Hope you gets things sorted @Dollybird89 I worked in a Care Home years ago as an activity coordinator then took on care as I loved it so much!! Only left due to the hours and kids alone me at I had no childcare.
There are some lovely places about, and it would be great to bring him closer to you so you can see him more. It's just a shame it has had to be stressful to get to this point but soon he will be settled for you to relax more. And he will be so happy when he gets settled I bet:

@Franklydear I hate the idea of getting off the sofa today - laptop on knee! But a walk with DS sounds nice, and fresh air always helps!
Gotta catch em all!!

paintfairy · 05/08/2021 12:21

@Lexber men 🙄 I hate the fb thing too. I found out one of my oldest friends was having a baby through an fb scan pic. It really pissed me off. I can see people's excitement but surely you tell people close to you? I personally also like to get peoples reactions to your news, which you miss if you just shove an fb post on? Bizarre world we live in.

Lexber · 05/08/2021 12:48

Apparently she did message him this morning @paintfairy it'd have been nice for him to have told me but clearly he was too busy being a mardy twat to think... feeling quite annoyed with him tbh, Aibu??
Just feeling a little pushed out of his family, like I could not be there and they'd not even notice?!

Hormonal as hell, feeling crampy and like AF is coming (13/14dpo) due today by 1 app and sat by 28days and another app so who knows... 🤷🏽‍♀️

paintfairy · 05/08/2021 13:00

@Lexber they piss me off sometimes, so don't ask me. 🤣 I'm being a lesbian in my next life. At least women a) listen and b) communicate.

Lexber · 05/08/2021 13:01

@paintfairy glad it's just me, I know hormones are playing a part but I'm disliking him today 🤣🤣 I think his breathing would piss me off if he was sat here right now 🤣🤣🤣

Lexber · 05/08/2021 13:01

*it's not just me

Franklydear · 05/08/2021 13:08

@Lexber that would piss me off too
Still spotting, nothing on pad and dark red/ brownish rather than period blood, not the usual sore foof or cramps either, will have to wait and see, if it doesn’t become a proper period, it’s happened before, I’ll do a test next week

paintfairy · 05/08/2021 13:08

@Lexber I'm in that boat and he is here. What's more we are meant to be dtd but I can't even bear to be near him right now. I'm too angry and I'm not even hormonal. Unless it's the trigger shot? 🤔 Either way I want to drop kick him into next week....

Lexber · 05/08/2021 13:16

I'm feeling so irritated and irrational today - still waiting for drs to call back!

Think maybe I should stay off social media and put my phone away for everyone's sake 🤣

I hate spotting @Franklydear last month I was very much thinking either feck off or turn into af! 🤞🏼🤞🏼 it stops and is good news for you I'm still hoping it's good news...

@paintfairy steal that sperm then tie him and gag him and have an hours peace 🤣🤣🤣

Franklydear · 05/08/2021 13:22

@Lexber I had all types, including an 8 day spotting that never became anything last august, maybe there’s something in august air.... I am going to stop thinking about it, wait for af and mid next week test regardless if I don’t get a proper flow, I had implantation bleeding enough to mistake for a period with ds, so that doesn’t help me cos it’s not like I don’t know that I can bleed in pregnancy

Franklydear · 05/08/2021 13:23

We’ve been for our walk, it was nice, it’s not too hot and we got 6 pokemons, some good ones I am assured,

paintfairy · 05/08/2021 13:25

@Lexber to be fair he's gone shopping so I have peace. Just not tolerant today.

BTW who is it on Instagram that's staying somewhere with a fridge in their toilet?! 🤣🤣 I still haven't matched up who everyone is on there to usernames here. But I would definitely not be happy about that. We've stayed at a few air b&bs now and mostly all are ok. But I did have to claim a refund back on one and i did get 50% back. The bath was leaking and the black mould under it (freestanding) told me this wasn't new. Not to mention the spiders, but I'm not sure that really is a complainable thing? It was horrific though.

Lexber · 05/08/2021 13:29

@Franklydear that has cheered me up - yay 6!!
Sounds like a plan, god damn our bodies - I feel like I'm just waiting for the inevitable to happen now as really don't feel pregnant right now at all!

@paintfairy it's normal to dislike OH soon days, we aren't superhuman! I love him but could happily dig under my patio today if I could be arsed 🤣🤣

A fridge in the toilet?!? 🤣🤣🤣

Franklydear · 05/08/2021 13:31

The fridge in the toilet has had to be a man’s idea, what was he planning to be doing there that long?🤨

Lexber · 05/08/2021 13:33

Started watching Virgin River on Netflix after seeing some of you guys had watched it, having a very unproductive work day (2 hr lunch) so watching episode 8 now...
Really enjoying it, and have a feeling I may watch episode 9after even though I should be doing other things 🤣🤣

Franklydear · 05/08/2021 14:01

Chocolate brownies with the boy after lunch, I have tea and he has apple juice, #weknowhowtodoholidays

Franklydear · 05/08/2021 14:10

Apparently not all mini brownies are the same and he must inspect them all in order to chose carefully 🙄

Manifestingbaby · 05/08/2021 14:11

Oh gosh @Franklydear so still actually in limbo, hope it turns out s bfp after all 🤞

@lexber you sound like me with pms... such rage 🙈 everyone and everything annoys me. @paintfairy what hormone is the trigger shot? Wouldn't be surprised if it impacts mood, they all do don't they!

larrythelizard · 05/08/2021 14:14

Oh wow ouch @Minster2012 I thought that was some nail art at first glance! Hope your knee is Ok today.

@Franklydear I'm so sorry to hear about AF. Sounds like a Pokemon hunt will do you good.

@Dollybird89 that sounds super tough. Sending hugs.

@blackcurrantqueen i would so be going for a solo walk as soon as I could!

Boo to AF causing issues @InkyPaper but exciting that paperwork is all done!

OP posts:
Franklydear · 05/08/2021 14:19

@Manifestingbaby I am pretty sure it'll be a negative, but obviously cannot be sure while only spotting, after about 5/6 hours I would expect to see something on pad but not the first time so ...

Lexber · 05/08/2021 14:21

@Manifestingbaby it's so unlike me I'm usually quite chilled and calm but right now I dislike everyone and anyone 🤣🤣🤣🤦🏽‍♀️

And this is why I won't be leaving my house today...

LeeTTCRainbow · 05/08/2021 14:24

Hi can i join please, little bit about my ttc journey, ttc for a year 2 losses, one at 12.5 weeks (ended in d&c) and one at 6 weeks, recently been back in hospital as from my loss in march i had retained product but had no idea until my period just gone was extreme ended up passing a medium sized lump and with a internal scan showed i have split my uterus, as the lump came away in one piece rather than gradual shredding. Doing much better now and just waiting on O due around next weekend. they mentioned that it would of effected our chances of conceiving as something was already attached, so fingers crossed August is our month as today is also the due date of the baby we lost in January.
Good luck to all xxxxxxxxxxxx
