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

Long weekend ahead woohoo! @Minster2012 I wouldn't be a good driver, too scattered

Cd 23, sore boobs, nausea and creamy cm, who wants to bet is just trolling

Minster2012 · 27/08/2021 18:41

Right just got back from 3.5 hour round to get DS from preschool school then drive to meet my best mates hubby to drop DS off with them for couple of days then drive back & DH not in good mood having scraped our grade 2 listed gate post with his make shift removal lorry from work (1950s house on old hall plot do we've got listed posts) eek. So got Chinese on way so please don't fill thread up yet!!

Anyone wanna drive???

Thread name thoughts ladies??

bez91 · 27/08/2021 19:37

@Minster2012 I'll come out of the shadows, ridiculously busy day after an emergency at work and DH on call so been a nightmare juggling things post 4pm. Worked every night this week until 10ish and need a break 😩 I'll guest bus drive for a thread but I've only got my category B license, not a bus license so I might not be very good 🙈

Justanothercyster · 27/08/2021 19:38

Don't want to fill up the thread but @Juno231 ahhh that's awesome news! I hope it doesn't take too long for you 💕

larrythelizard · 27/08/2021 19:55

Hanging out with the small one today. Terrible 2's hitting hard. Seems laughing at him makes it worse 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think I ovulate around CD21 so another one for the list @Vil10 @Franklydear

Oooh doubly exciting @Justanothercyster

Chicken tiles are great @Minster2012 maybe you could theme the room around them 😂

Great news @juno231!

Minster2012 · 27/08/2021 19:58

We are on it kids...

You are welcome to take over if you'd like @bez91, that would be great, or I had written an intro earlier whilst dog walking and Larry & I are in cahoots atm so if you don't want to it's ok

bez91 · 27/08/2021 20:19

@Minster2012 no worries send it over 🤪

@larrythelizard I'm a similar 15-21 day girl 🥚

Missed that that's great news @Juno231 🥳🥰

Franklydear · 27/08/2021 20:45

That’s soft play done right, no music, no bright lights, no screaming children, they’re fine, this kind they don’t scream, and coffee and cake while they play....
@Minster2012 you are keeping all the tiles, so decorate around the theme, listed post? What fresh hell is that?....
@Juno231 so that’s next step done then, caminante no hay camino....

Minster2012 · 27/08/2021 20:46

@Juno231 yesss come on so they didn't lose it??? That's great then!
Right @bez91 I've sent a pm via Insta, will get on another one in a minute. Just drawing (running for us commoners) a bath

Minster2012 · 27/08/2021 22:08

Just teasing that thread @Franklydear (seeing as I've scared everyone off clearly!) but @bez91 has it all in hand don't worry! And really!! What a total CF!! Have o missed where it says how old DSD is though??

Vil10 · 27/08/2021 22:10

@Justanothercyster @Minster2012 @Juno231 Thankyou!!

@Juno231 amazing news!

Franklydear · 27/08/2021 22:26

Dsd is 15 @Minster2012, you’ll never be rid of us, lol
I am sure @bez91 will be a great driver

Franklydear · 28/08/2021 06:24

Well, dh went to work and nicely woke me up, on purpose just before leaving, so now I am watching telly in bed cos it’s too early to do anything and, ds depending, I could have slept a couple of hours more... should I ltb?

Franklydear · 28/08/2021 06:37

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/relationships/4333914-Weirdest-thing-someones-said-to-you-just-after-sex So I am now reading mumsnet, clearly far too early

Thedesirerainbow · 28/08/2021 06:51

Good morning everyone,

Had a super faint line yesterday on my 14dpo coop cheapie as a run out of my easyhome. Ran out to buy a digital, not pregnant, bought a clear blue but this time not digital, super faint line again.
Had nothing else to test with this morning a part of ovulation test - please don't judge me 🤦🏽‍♀️ - come out pretty dark.

Had 3 chemicals already, last was in May. Looks this is another one of those, as by this time lines should be so bright up. Also I've read that blue ink tents to leave indents even if lines showed up within the time frame 😢

I'm feeling so crazy 🙈

Franklydear · 28/08/2021 06:56

@Thedesirerainbow that’s a line, not that faint, cautiously optimistic here

larrythelizard · 28/08/2021 07:00

I mean according to some posters on the relationships board then yes probably @Franklydear. Mine woke me up before going to the gym - surely that's worse (drip feed...I accidentally hid the car keys...!)

@Thedesirerainbow I wonder if the CB is faulty as I can see a horizontal line but in the wrong place. Have you got a FRER? It might be that you ovulated a couple of days late or implanted later therefore fainter tests? Not a bad line on the first one though

OP posts:
Thedesirerainbow · 28/08/2021 07:17

@larrythelizard there are some CB that shows a cross, this ones just needs a line, and probably taken a crap picture in the toilet rather than outside with light. There is no cross line when you look in person at all. I haven't but will get them when pharmacy opens x

@Franklydear I had better lines in the past, but trying somehow be optimistic 😅
Get that ltb! x

Franklydear · 28/08/2021 07:28

@larrythelizard @Thedesirerainbow I’ll forget to wash his work clothes.... and leave the test alone for a couple of days, it’s not gonna give you a more definite answer for now

Somatronic · 28/08/2021 08:13

@Thedesirerainbow fingers crossed for you!

@Juno231 great news!

I had a dream last night that I tested and got a BFP. I was a little hopeful because I heard the hycosy can help people get pregnant. Just tested and it's yet another BFN.

kaylsd · 28/08/2021 08:15

@Juno231 this is amazing news! Hopefully it's not too long now for you all 👏👏🎉🤞🏻

@Thedesirerainbow I can see a line rather than them being indents 🧐 can you get some of the big guns out with a frer? Got everything crossed for you :)

Just a little check in this weekend, busy with a bbq today most likely the last one of the summer 🥺 just wanted to have a little post before I get my flippyflap long term season bus pass out for the next ride 🤣

bez91 · 28/08/2021 08:31

Argggh @Somatronic so sorry that's really bloody cruel

Yes all in hand (I think @Minster2012)

What's everyone's bank hol plans. We have a quiet one today, painful tomorrow travelling to see MIL 😩 then fun on Monday for DHs birthday. As for the 14 day rule, FF is telling me I ovulated CD23. Not been that late before and I still think it may be anovulatory 🤦🏼‍♀️

Thedesirerainbow · 28/08/2021 08:47

@Franklydear you're right 😌

@kaylsd will get them today when shops open. If AF still not showing by Sunday all use them, and if I'm actually pregnant hopefully by then the lines would get darker 🤞🏼

@Somatronic thank you 🙏🏽 sorry about your bfn. What day of your cycle are you? I had dreams as well in the past and got all hopeful. Last night a had a dream that I was breastfeeding a baby from a mother who couldn't, but I didn't even have birth yet and had huge milky boobs 🤦🏽‍♀️

Vil10 · 28/08/2021 08:49

@Thedesirerainbow staying positive for you here! Get yourself an frer x

@Somatronic ohh I'm sorry, that's cruel!!x

@kaylsd ooo lovely! Have a nice day x

Okay so, been having af like cramps since Wednesday, I always spot 1 or 2 days before af, I'm due today and I've had no spotting, I was at the gym yesterday and literally felt like I was going to come on but nothing and no spotting, and my rhr has been dropping since Monday but it's shot back up today....I have some cheapies and 1 frer and I think I'm going to test this morning
