Shackets from yesteryear, baltic crotches ❄️ and lots of ostriches 🐦 TTC bus 48

[bez91]

It’s been thirteen million years & Minster & the good time crew are still here…its September, autumn in full swing and we haven’t done too bad so far this month compared to previous months but I still think we are owed ladies.

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

Agency bus driver at the wheel.…

All aboard bus number 48

@kaylsd the 3 month wait, the worst of them all

@Manifestingbaby don't apologise about being a bad passenger, don't be silly! Glad he's trying something and you are finding a bit of peace too

@Somatronic yep I've started after a few days no issue, it's still helped me. I didn't try the pink one, had the golden but I imagine they are the same, maybe the pink is nicer! It's only the general consensus for ass!

@kaylsd oooooo loving the teddy bear coat! And he image of you posing looking like you've broken your neck?!

@Lexber god def get some fluids down you, I'm sure it's fine 🤞🏻

Another quick horse trailer check in.....

@Kirky658 you've got this. Glad you are getting help.
@DKDK123 i'm glad you are still hanging in there.
@Manifestingbaby awww that's hard to accept. But I'd definitely miss you if you weren't here!
@clolo brilliant news!

Okay couldn’t sleep so figured I’d get up and take a test and 🤯 Im slightly in shock if I’m honest. So exciting but also can’t help but be terrified it will be another chemical. Guess I will test again in a couple of days and see how the line is? But it looks pretty strong considering I’m still a few days away from predicted af, no?

@Somatronic I'm a pink grapefruit juice lover. I don't think it matters if golden or pink unless anyone knows different? The months I've used it I've had shedddd loads of ewcm.

@clolo yayyyyy 🍟

@whatwonder congratulations, I'd say that looks pretty strong 😊

Ee that's exciting @whatwonder 🤞🏻 fingers tightly crossed for you.

Glad it went well @clolo

Hope you're ok @Lexber and enjoyed your yorkie puds.

All ok here, 3dpo. Feels quite a relief to be out of FW - less pressure.

@kaylsd wow well congratulations!! Your DH is doing so well bless him and fair play to him for his effort and commitment!!

@Minster2012 how was the steak tea? I'm also not an over cooked steak person

@bez91 did you get to skive at lunch and go out with DH?

@clolo so glad it went well! Have the best time x

@Manifestingbaby it's not fun this game anymore is it

@whatwonder definitely looks a strong line! Congratulations!!X

Well I had a good day yesterday despite feeling periody, got in my car after work and a text from other half and I knew what the picture was before I opened it, a picture his friend had sent him "baby...." with a pregnancy test, his girlfriend is someone I really don't like, not many of our group do like her, she told me at that baby shower I was at in august that she had come off the pill, and despite being overweight, not active in the slightest, worst diet ever, drinks beer EVERY night and so does her partner, I just knew they'd be pregnant soon, because why wouldn't they be? So yeah I cried on the way home, also turns out she's only 5 weeks pregnant and announced it on social media....woke up feeling a little better this morning after OH was a gem last night just cheering me up! Our dog has another sex session this morning, then I'm off to the gym and I'm out for food and drinks with the girls tonight so that'll definitely cheer me up (apart from my pregnant friend will be at the meal initially)

Enjoy your holiday @clolo! 🍟🍟🍟

Love that coat @kaylsd, hopefully it's comfier than the model makes it look!

Glad to hear you're still in one piece @paintfairy

WOW @whatwonder that's a great line!! 🤞🏼👏🏼🤞🏼👏🏼

It's never fair @Vil10. You do seem to have a pretty fertile bunch of friends...! Sadly I have a few long term TTCers amongst my best friends. I was quite confused reading about your dog sex session - at first I thought you were getting very descriptive over that you and DH have planned for later!

My parents are coming over today, they live abroad so not seen them since last Easter...poor DS isn't going to know what's hit him!

@Vil10 yes managed to skive off. DH had lunch, I just had a iced drink as not feeling great. That's super shitty about DHs friend, you never feel like there is any justice do you when you're going all out doing everything right 🙁 your time will come missus! 5 weeks is super early to announce but I would say that and I suppose it's nice to be in that naive little bubble. I love how your conversation quickly flipped to your dogs sex session 🤣 hope they have a good time 😆

@larrythelizard ahh that's lovely, are they staying with you for a while? It can be overwhelming for little ones can't it, DD definitely forgot who MIL was during lockdown. Hope you have the best time!

@whatwonder they are great lines!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻come on September!!

@Vil10 of course they had to get pregnant straight away. And of course she thinks that's it, baby in 9 months. I'm so sorry hun. It is f ing shit. Doggy sex session again! He's getting a lot of action 🤣more than me 😩I changed my steak tea to homemade Chinese dishes steak ginger beef & chow mein after 2 lots of ppl on WhatsApp groups were asking about Chinese takeaways it made me hanker after Chinese 🤣so DH & I made our own

@DKDK123 how are you? Any more spotting?

I had some spotting last night too I'm hoping it's from the pessaries 🤞🏻

Did you get your holiday booked? @larrythelizard

@kaylsd it's good that your DH is being proactive following the SA and wanting to eat healthier.

Enjoy your holiday @clolo what a good distraction right now!

Rest up if your body needs it @lexber Hopefully your sickness tablets help and you start to feel a bit more human soon.

Congratulations @whatwonder, keeping everything crossed for a sticky bean this time for you 🤞

@Vil10 the fertility lottery really does suck and often seems like it falls more in favour of those who (I cant think of the word, not don't deserve it but you know what I mean!) It often makes you wonder why we spend shitloads on different pills and foods and what not to try have a successful pregnancy when they can drink beer every night chain smoke like a chimney and get pregnant right off the bat. Life really isn't fair at times 🤬 Hope your night with the girls cheers you up.

@minster2012 spotting seems to have stopped (for this morning at least) which I should be feeling relieved at but absolutely all symptoms have no disappeared I've been randomly squeezing my boobs all morning hoping to feel at least a little tenderness but nothing, still got positive tests tho 🤷‍♀️ who knew our bodies could be just as much fuckboys even when pregnant 🤦‍♀️
Going for a covid test today tho as been coughing non stop during the night and chest is sounding so crackly, pretty sure it's just a chest infection from the cold but I know if I go to the docs the first thing they're going to say is do a covid test first so no point ringing them till my results are back. My peak flow has dropped to 250 tho despite extra Inhalers which isn't a good sign as last time it fell that low I had pneumonia......think my body is just generally on strike this month 🙈

@manifestingbaby ah that’s rubbish chick, it’s hard to be positive sometimes but we’ve got this! Is your OH taking supplements and things to try help? I’ll keep you posted how we get on please do the same back as we are in similar situations 😘❤️
@minster2012 when I get it I’ll try and pose similar although I fear I may look like a twat 🤣🤣 hopefully your spotting is your little bean getting snuggly or your suppositories 🤞🏻😘
@whatwonder congratulations that looks like a really good positive to me! 🤞🏻🤞🏻
@feliznavidad2 I know the feeling coming out of a FW it’s like a big pause then relaxxx 🙈🙈
@vil10 it’s annoying as life’s not fair it knows how to test us all in certain ways, I’m also surrounded by lots of fertile friends who are either pregnant or just had babies and it’s hard some days to paint a smile on, it’s okay to cry it makes me feel better once I’ve got it all out of your system, we understand how your feeling right now so your not alone 😘
@larrythelizard enjoy your time with your family, hopefully it’ll be like you’ve never been apart for that long ❤️
@DKDK123 I’m quite proud of us both for taking abit of a health kick to try get in the best pre baby health hopefully, I’ve lost 7KG since July so I now have a BMI of 25.5 woooop & DH has lost 6KG so we are getting there 🙌🏻

Happy Saturday everyone! Got nothing planned other than to continue watching monster inside the 24 faces of billy Milligan because I like anything like that 🙈

@paintfairy aw you are sweet 🥰 def want to hang around long enough to see you get that second line! And some other ling term passengers that are soooo overdue theirs!

@whatwonder congratulations!

@Vil10 of course, why wouldn't they! Come off pill, get pregnant, that's just how ot works isn't it? 🙄 hugs x

Oh no more spotting! Sorry to hear @Minster2012 hope all is ok. Glad yours has stopped @DKDK123. How are you @Lexber?

@Somatronic just popping in to say pink grapefruit is just as good and it doesn't matter if you start this stuff a few days in to your cycle - it's nothing too rigid. Just make sure to stop the EPO when you ovulate as you only take it in the FP.

Argh I'm so angry!! Currently waiting for the police to come and see my daughter.

She has just been assaulted in the town centre by a group of girls she hasn't ever seen before fo no reason! I hate teenage girls!!!
She's 14 and doesn't go out often as it is, and had gone to meet her friend in town and they started on her for no reason whatso ever before following her and grabbing her by the hair while another one started hitting her around the face... thankfully she had the common sense to take herself into a busy area where there is also CCTV so the general public shouted after the girls to leave her alone which gave her the opportunity to run home and hopefully it will have all be caught on CCTV!

@Juno231 thanks for that! You're very good.

@Lexber that's shocking, I hope she's OK xx

@Lexber 😳😳😱😱😱oh my goodness I hope she's ok. Bitches

She's lucky I am a vomiting pregnant mess or id have been in the town centre like a shot looking for them!!

She's ok but in shock/upset.
I hate teenage girls!!!

@Lexber omg that's horrible! What on earth do people think in their minds to think that behaviour is acceptable! I hope your daughter is okay :( xxx

@Lexber so sorry to read that about your daughter, that's awful! I'm glad she's ok and I hope they catch the awful girls that did. Appealing behaviour!! Xx

@Lexber omg what is wrong with people?! Hope your daughter's OK

@whatwonder congrats! Keeping my fingers crossed for you 😊

@Vil10 it is so ridiculously unfair how it all works out sometimes. Big hugs, there's nothing worse than being surrounded by a bunch of ridiculously fertile people when you're TTC. My cousin just announced a pregnancy and I'm just like 🙃

@DKDK123 big hugs lovely ❤️ hope you feel loads better soon

@lexber I'm so sorry to read about your daughter, that's awful! I hope she is OK.

@vil10 bloody hell what is it with your friends fertility, I hope you are OK ❤️

Morning all,

I am finally joining this bus - sorry I am so late. I find it so hard to keep up during the week when I am at work. Thanks to those who recommended the emkfit workouts, loving them! My cousin had her baby this week and although I am happy for her it is frustrating as she is one of those 'got pregnant without even trying' people. Now everyone's asking me when it is my turn and I am just trying to laugh it off. I really wish people would not comment. I know no one means it in a horrible way but I honestly don't know what to say.

Congratulations @whatwonder. I hope this is your sticky bean.

@Lexber That is awful news about your daughter. I hope she is ok.

@Kirky658 Sorry to hear things have been so tough, your birth story sounds very traumatic. You are doing the right thing asking for help. I hope you get the best support possible.

@Vil10 You have the most fertile friends. I understand your frustration! None of us wanted to be on this loooong journey and it often feels so unfair.

@DKDK123 I hope you feel better soon! Hope it isn't covid although a chest infection is not fun either.

Thanks everyone! Staying cautiously optimistic for now 🤞🏼 Although I did do a CB digital test this morning and it came back as 2-3 weeks (think I’m 4 weeks based off my lmp) so taking that as a positive sign!

@Lexber oh my god that’s so terrible! How is your daughter doing. Is she okay?? Are you?

@Vil10 oh babe I’m sorry, I know how frustrating that is. Also seems wild to me to post on socials at 5 weeks?? How was the dinner out with your friends?

@DKDK123 fingers crossed for a negative covid test! 🤞🏼

@Minster2012 how are you feeling? Still spotting?

@Manifestingbaby ugh yes I wish people would just stop asking women this, like what do they think they’re achieving!? I had an auntie ask me “soooo, when do you think you’ll have kids?” as I was literally having a miscarriage 🥴

@larrythelizard aw that is sad but suppose you all have each other for support! Hahahaha describing OH as the dog😂 how was it with your parents? Bet it was lovely to see them!!

@bez91 how're you feeling today? I think you're right there, they're in a little bubble at the minute and probably not thinking about any possible problems!

@Minster2012 I feel like I'm going to unfriend her on Facebook😂 she's a crazy cider drinker and already started with the "alcohol free cider" pics on Facebook🙄 hahaha OH always says the dog gets more sex than him sometimes😂 chinese dish sounds lovely!!

@DKDK123 I know what you mean!! Not that they don't deserve it but they've just had it extremely easy! I feel a lot better now though Thankyou! How're you today?x

@kaylsd A cry definitely makes you feel better doesn't it!!

@Manifestingbaby I mean it definitely seems that way for majority of my friends!!

@Lexber omg that's awful!! Your poor daughter, bless her!! Is she okay??

@InkyPaper it makes you feel shitty doesn't it!! Hugs to you too for the cousin pregnancy announcement!

@Kirky658 they are all literally the most fertile people I know😂 am I right in thinking it's your first session today?? If it is I hope it all goes well x

@Bea14 I know what you mean, you're happy for them but a bit upset for yourself!!

@whatwonder aw bet it was lovely to see 2-3!! Congrats again!! I thought this?? Apparently she only found out herself on Wednesday then announced it Friday!! It was lovely Thankyou, we had tapas bits then went into a bar in town!
