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

Congratulations! 🎉 She's beautiful! Woop.

lucyrp · 24/08/2021 12:30

@Crazydoglady123 my son was 8.1 so not a great difference between the two which was nice when I was told to expect a huge baby! Thank you very much 🥰

@Sunbird24 thank you lovely, so sorry to hear what you're going through it's not fair. Sending lots of love ❤️

kaylsd · 24/08/2021 13:05

Finally doing gardening leave right, sunbathing in the garden with silent witness on my iPad in the baby tent I bought my then pretty much never used, glad it's finally getting some use!

Congratulations@lucyrp she's adorable!!

Dollybird89 · 24/08/2021 17:16

@lucyrp I can't type sorry lol

Dollybird89 · 24/08/2021 17:21

Quick update from me, finally moved my dad to care home yesterday, been an emotional few days but glad I finally got there. Been to see him today and seems settled which is great. Also had a phone call to arrange and interview for a job tomorrow! I'm so nervous but have no time to panic as it's 3.30 tomorrow... Did I say no time to panic ??!? I have no idea what to wear or say or anything! I've not had a face to face interview in over 8 years!!! The jobs for a McColls shop 5 min walk from my house . Still no af.. cd fourty something 🤦🤷.

Franklydear · 24/08/2021 17:44

@lucyrp wow, congrats!!!
@Dollybird89 see? The stars are aligning for you, clothes, trousers and a nice top but not too flashy, the words will come out if not just say you're a bit nervous, it'll be ok

Franklydear · 24/08/2021 18:05

Also cd 20 and we are starting with the nausea, 🙄 every cycle

Juno231 · 24/08/2021 18:33

@lucyrp congratulations!! What a beaut 😍 and so perfectly sized too despite being a bit late! Are you okay - did everything go well?

@Dollybird89 all sounding good in dolly land! I'll echo dark trousers and a blouse. Maybe just prep a couple of key things like why you want the job and why you think you'd be good at it?

amy2503 · 24/08/2021 18:42

@lucyrp she's so gorgeous xxx

amy2503 · 24/08/2021 18:43

Hi guys- I just wondered. Does/did anyone not drink when ttc? I've not stopped but trying to find any way that might help me now.. I don't drink much, only a few little French lager bottles a week (the small ones).. but wondered what others experiences were ? Thanks. xx

Vil10 · 24/08/2021 19:02

@amy2503 my thought process, when we finally get pregnant I won't be drinking for 9 months, maybe even longer with breastfeeding so might as well make the most of it now

InkyPaper · 24/08/2021 19:06

@Dollybird89 aww great news! Good luck in your interview tomorrow!

@amy2503 I don't drink at all, I don't like most alcohol and it sets off an IBS flare anyway now so there's not much point in drinking 😂

amy2503 · 24/08/2021 19:07

@Vil10 me too. and, i don't drink much so surely it can't affect anything ?? x

Franklydear · 24/08/2021 19:27

@amy2503 I also drink very little on rare occasions, I won’t stop until I see that fucking line

kaylsd · 24/08/2021 19:39

@amy2503 I have a social drink like if I was invited out with my friends or birthday ect but I've never been much of a huge drinker anyway, everything is okay within moderation :) theres 9
month of sober times when the time comes to it anyway so why not whilst in the TTC times 🥰

2020mission · 24/08/2021 19:51

@amy2503 I cut down on drinking but never stopped... copied @Minster2012 and switched from my glasses of white wine to white wine spritzers 😅 highly recommend! I don't think stopping completely is necessary at all as long as it's not heavy binging sessions especially around the second half of your cycle. I had a couple of white wine spritzers a few days before getting a BFP.

@Dollybird89 Good luck with your interview definitely don't panic, just give it your best. Glad to hear your dad has moved and is settling in ok, hopefully less stress for you now!

@lucyrp replied already on the other thread but can't ignore a photo of little Evelyn 😍 congrats again!

@Vil10 I hope you got some good offers in today 🤞 I'm still house hunting here but nothing good is coming up unfortunately. Hopefully you'll have more luck and get to put an offer in soon if this one sells quickly. Sounds promising!

@kaylsd that's a lovely wedding dress! I was so tempted to go for one in a similar style but was worried it would be too tight after all the food and drink consumed 😆 I don't think I'd pull it off as well as you. I also had to go train free so I could take part in the ceilidh.

Sorry I've not been great at keeping up here lately. Always still following along. Hope all you ladies are doing ok 💕
