It’s been twelve million years & Minster & the good time crew are still here…it’s almost September and we basically missed out August for BFPs so we are owed.

Lots of people have got new jobs, had time off, gone on holiday, moved house, but what we haven’t had is the BFP to go with it- what’s with that??

So we’re owed a bumper bus ride right? That’s how it goes surely? If you are looking for a community of lovely ladies who know how frustrating it is when your doctor tells you “all women ovulate on day 14” errrr nope, we know a bus load of women who don’t thanks very much 🙋🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️😆🤔then here’s the bus for you. Oh and we don’t just talk TTC, we’ll chat about anything. In fact that’s positively encouraged cos TTC can be bloody boring sometimes!

It costs an embarrassing life (or TTC) story for your ticket please then you can hop on board

Roll on September ladies, it’s time for tunics, leggings & pulling those tunics up for hot quickie action right??

All aboard bus number 47

I think I was under the influence when I agreed to take on this agency bus driver role 🍻 I endeavour to not drink drive…

Congratulations @Lexber

Meanwhile I'm so desperate for something to mother that I've spent the last hour trying to entice a cat who wandered in my back door earlier to stay with me forever. Didn't work.

Haiyaa · 06/09/2021 19:47

Yay @Lexber! Congratulations, must have been that CD14 ovulation, the doctors are on to something! 😂

Hopefully this BFP trend continues!

Vil10 · 06/09/2021 20:01

Hi girls, so I've been awol this weekend and just come on to see two bfps!!! @bez91 @Lexber amazing!! Congratulations to you both❤️

Bit of a long winded post but here goes....had a lovely weekend in the lakes just what we needed, decided to go to a festival an hour away for the day yesterday, I drove there and planned to drive back as was back in work early and didn't want to drink, there was a random man on his own that nobody knew, and he was just dancing around and mingling with everyone, him and OH had their arms round each other dancing and swaying, I was stood facing them, next minute this guy just took his arm off OH, took a few steps back, took a run up and lamped OH in the face, I was stone cold sober, witnessed it all, it was completely unprovoked and unexpected, OH had a lump above his eye straight away and a bruise and a cut under and couldn't open his eye, OH is a world champion kick boxer so if he saw it coming could've protected himself but it was not expected at all, I was screaming at the man (who was clearly off his face on god knows what), I said "why the fuck have you done that", his reply "it's what I fucking do love", took OH to ambulance tent, they checked him and sent us to a&e to glue his eye, as we're walking across the carpark to a&e, he collapsed, fell face first on the concrete, unresponsive, I got him into the recovery position then had a panic attack, 3 by standers saw and came over whilst I ran in to get doctors, he was unresponsive for half an hour, took him in, I wasn't allowed in to see him because of covid, sat in the waiting room from 9pm-2:30am, the outcome; broken nose and cheek bone, fractured eye socket and orbital bone and bleed on the brain, they think the eye socket was from the punch then the rest of the damage from the fall, spent the night in hospital, then was transferred this morning to our local hospital, had more scans and monitored and weve just got home.

Girls I'm not a dramatic person but seeing him collapse and feeling so helpless was the worst thing that's ever happened to me, i haven't stopped crying since yesterday, I can't get the images out of my head, I'm just so so glad he's home and safe!

Sorry for the longggg post but wanted to get it out in one! Hug your OH's extra tight tonight, I definitely will be doing!

Vil10 · 06/09/2021 20:02

Also I can confirm the stupid "every woman ovulates on CD14" doctor, was in fact woman!!!

Franklydear · 06/09/2021 20:17

Omg @Vil10, that's horrendous, charges against the violent thug I hope....

becarefuloutthere · 06/09/2021 20:23

@Vil10 so sorry to hear what happened, how terrifying! Glad to hear he's home n safe tho. What a horrible shock n nasty piece of work that "man" was. I say man like that as no man should act in that way. Disgusting behaviour!

Bundaberg84 · 06/09/2021 20:31

F* @Vil10 I'm so sorry that's horrible!!! I'm glad you both are okay, but that must have been traumatising!!

Bea14 · 06/09/2021 20:35

Congratulations @bez91, hope you manage to get progesterone. I hope this is your sticky bean!

Also another BFP, congratulations @Lexber. That is an amazing line!

I am so sorry to hear about your ups and downs @kaylsd. Amazing news about the job. I hope your OH can do another SA and hopefully get a better result.

@Minster2012 I don't know how you do it! You have never ending energy. I hope you enjoyed the fetes. It sounds very Midsomer Murders (without the murders).

Welcome @Dinkydonut1

@Amy00 Your pup is gorgeous!!! Although I remember the crocodile stage. Puppies are such hard work (although so cute) but it pays off in the end. I remember one night when our dog was about 12 weeks old we had a takeaway. The puppy spent her whole time biting our feet, trying to climb up our legs, barking, crying, jumping and almost swiped the fish off DH's plate. It was a nightmare. In the end we went to bed early just to get away from her. I also vividly remember trying to walk her and she spent the whole time biting and hanging off her lead. We ended up having to carry her as the whole walk become a massive game of tug with very sharp teeth! She is now a wonderful well behaved dog so it does get easier!

@Vil10 I cannot believe what happened to your OH. How traumatic! I hope you are ok too? Did you report it to the police? Thank goodness you were outside the hospital when he collapsed and you could get help quickly. Sounds very scary. Sending lots of positive get well soon vibes to him.

Things with me have not been fun! I am a teacher and there have been positive cases in my class and then I became unwell with a cough and had to isolate. However my PCR has come back negative but I have had a horrendous cough which has now turned into a full blown cold so I feel utterly miserable. I have not had a cold for so long and forgot how it wipes you out. My temps and my RHR are so high right now! So just awaiting the day when I can breathe easily again.

Lexber · 06/09/2021 20:40

@Dinkydonut1 🤣🤣🤣🤣 brilliant story!!

@Minster2012 I don't think I could be normal if I tried - but where's the fun in that anyway?! 🤣🤣 how's your knee?

That's the secret @larrythelizard 10days of bonking and a festival with a tampon in your pocket! The weekend before I was dancing through canal street in Manchester in the middle of Manchester pride...

Glad DS is feeling better @Franklydear and back to school tomorrow- does that mean you get your day date with OH?

I agree @Haiyaa after a couple of abismal months it's time to get some lines!!!

Oh @Vil10 that must have been terrifying to witness ((((hugs)))) for you both!! How is he now? It's ok to be upset, give yourself time to process what happened properly and talk about it. Cry if you need we are here for you xxxx

Thank you everyone for the congratulations it doesn't feel real and after July (which seemed to be a shit month for a few of us) I'm slightly anxious but the strength of the line and speed it showed has helped I think. The on off nausea makes it feel real lol and the fact I look very flushed tonight with rosey red cheeks which my mum pointed out on FaceTime - I made my excuses!!

🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 for some more BFPs this month!!! Xxxx

Lexber · 06/09/2021 20:40

How are you feeling today @bez91

larrythelizard · 06/09/2021 20:55

FUCK @Vil10 that is super super scary. Like others have said, I really hope that the man has been arrested. Wishing your DP a speedy recovery x

Minster2012 · 06/09/2021 20:59

Oh my goodness @Vil10 that sounds awful. All the love to you both, is there anything you need?? 😘

@Bea14 I was running on pure adrenaline. Crashed when I came home last night, DH continued onto the pub then I was scrubbing old house today and again crashed tonight, exhausted. It's very Archers around here let alone midsomer murders! And omg you are right about the puppy bitey stage, I saw my friends puppy last night & was reminded of that, fortunately both of mine were never the twisty turny on the lead but I know plenty that are!

@Somatronic try cheese for the cat. Always worked for me! Or feign indifference. That worked too!

@Lexber flushed with happiness 😊

Minster2012 · 06/09/2021 21:00

And @Lexber my knee isn't too bad, still twinging a bit but it's ok. I might not be wearing the brace 😬🤦🏼‍♀️I've got an MRI through for the 19th sep so actually that's not as bad as i thought, and after AF due so that works out I guess!

bez91 · 06/09/2021 21:13

Yessss @Lexber fantastic news, so pleased for you! I'm feeling ok today, anxiety on a even keel for some of the day.

@Minster2012 no luck with EPU. Gynae are supposed to be ringing me back but they didn't today so I'm going to persevere and if nothing by Wednesday I'm going to try the private clinic. I think you should definitely work in event planning! Glad your MRI is soon, much better than next month

@Franklydear glad your DS is much brighter apart from causing you a lot of mess 😆

Bloodyhell fire @Vil10 🤯 WTAF! How awful for you both. I hope DH is ok 🥺, it must have been super scary! What an absolute imbecile that bloke is. Anything like that really riles me, I went to school with someone who did a tour in Afghan, came home and got killed in his home town by one single punch on a night out, it makes my blood boil that people have no regard for their actions 😡 I hope the police are involved. Love to you 💕

OP posts:
Haiyaa · 06/09/2021 21:14

Oh my goodness @Vil10 that must have been utterly horrendous for you, I hope OH is recovering well and once the dust settles you are able to press charges. What an awful thing to happen! Maybe see if you can get some counselling and work through it when you are ready? ❤️

Crazydoglady123 · 06/09/2021 21:29

Strong line there @Lexber! Congrats!!

@Minster2012 it definitely is! My DS was with me piling up clothes in an unplanned visit to Zara so wasn't just me 🤣 I've ordered a load of bow head bands and chunky knit jumpers. It was from Indigo Dreams handmade @larrythelizard (they're on Instagram) but I'm now off to search Bonds baby stuff!

@Vil10 that's absolutely horrific! Your poor OH! I can only imagine how traumatised you must feel right now. Im sure you'll still be in a lot of shock. I hope the guy got arrested?

Minster2012 · 06/09/2021 22:02

Second the bonds wondersuits @Crazydoglady123, zips are your friends!

@bez91 keep badgering them, I will also be trying the progesterone route if anything happens in the future, omg yes I've heard of someone like that getting killed by a punch. Awful. (That also came out as a typo to start with saying "killed by lunch" 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️)

Event planning you say. Not health & safety?? Falling off a dumper?? No idea why?? (I don't fully work in H&S of course thank god)

paintfairy · 06/09/2021 22:20

@Lexber woop! 🥳 Cracking line. How long have you been trying? We all seem like we've been on this bus ages ago I can't even remember who arrived at what stage any more! Same with @bez91. I only know it feels like forever for us.
@Vil10 Jesus! Wtf? That sounds horrendous! I hope he's alright? This must be why I avoid people at all costs. Absolutely nutters. I hope they bloody catch him and lock him up! He could kill somebody!

Lexber · 06/09/2021 22:44

@paintfairy This is our 5th proper cycle but had a few weeks after my coil out before the first cycle. Had a early loss in July sadly.
Bitter sweet, I know how lucky we are to have caught again so soon.

I genuinely hope we get lots more BFPs this month - I would love you see so many of you wonderful ladies get that 2nd line xxx

Juno231 · 06/09/2021 23:02

@Lexber congratulations!! That's one heck of a line, I don't know how you kept yourself from testing for this long.

@Bea14 I'm sorry but the only thing I took away from your post is that you had takeaway fish and I was horrified that anyone would order something so healthy to take away... Then I remembered fish n chips exists. Please tell me it was that 😁

@vil10 dear god that is horrendous! How is OH doing now? He must be so sore! And all bones that can't be set or anything, just waiting it out :(

@Minster2012 watch out for burnout!

Somatronic · 07/09/2021 00:58

@Vil10 I'm so sorry to hear about what happened to your husband. And I can't imagine how terrifying it must have been for you too. I hope you're both doing OK and that the scumbag who hit him is caught and charged.

Minster2012 · 07/09/2021 07:30

@Juno231 I also thought that about the 🐟🐠for @Bea14 😂🤣but then remembered fish n chips. I hear you on burnout, I feel I'm running on adrenaline atm I felt I was close to burnout the other week. Are you able to chill in this last month now?

I've woken up this morning at 6dpo on most apps but FF has me at 7dpo and a big temp dip this morning. Below cover line. Might be cos of drinking over the weekend I guess

@feliznavidad2 how you feeling? Any spotting yet?

Minster2012 · 07/09/2021 07:31

Oh and some twinges too 🤔🤦🏼‍♀️symptom spotting at its best 😜🙄

Minster2012 · 07/09/2021 07:35

Oh and I'm eating dippy eggs in bed 🤣🥳watching MAFSUK

TTC bus 🚌 47 for all them odd b*tches who DON’T ovulate on CD14 🍳
Lexber · 07/09/2021 07:46

Ooh @Minster2012 what tv channel/station is MAFSUK ok?
I'm working from home today as knackered, fan belt snapped on the van last night 45min from home.. we got in at 1am...

Thankfully it's my quiet period at work so a chill one is on the cards!!
