When you don’t think about your days as “Monday Tuesday Wednesday” you think of them as “fertile week” or “CD12” we know the feeling.

We’ve tried baby dust (back in early 2020 I think we stopped believing in that!?, we’ve tried chocolate/pizza & sofa sex (remember that? Late 2020, that got a lot of babies!) and now we are onto manifesting, testing, pleading & yet there’s still some unwanted bleeding🤣😂well tough titties we are here to stay til we get those BFPs🤞🏻🙌🏻we just need to rinse out our foofs & get the nurses to wade through our stocking full of old sperm 💦

Whether you are TTC “normally”, IUI/ivf or anything we are a crew that cling together to the bitter end & always ready to help a sister out. We’ve had multiples, some losses so know two lines can be just as terrifying as none, and we’ve got ladies where those two lines are more illusive than a white Christmas 🎅🏻

It costs an embarrassing story for your ticket, doesn’t have to be TTC related as we know laughing when TTC is needed.

If you see mention of Instagram I have a public account where a lot of people are linked too:
Minstermusings, and a few people have created new anonymous accounts to record their TTC journey/life stupidities m/general annoyances on…just don’t mention TTC on a personal account.

Ahhhh @paintfairy doing all the happy dances for you!! Xx

2020mission · 18/11/2021 08:44

Ahh congratulations @paintfairy 🎉 😃 I've been silently following along and had to post after seeing this news!

I will catch up properly with everything else soon.

paintfairy · 18/11/2021 08:43

DH says the test is wrong and we need to see what the official one says tomorrow. 🤣

bez91 · 18/11/2021 08:42

Ahahahahha 🥳🥳🥳🥳 @paintfairy congratulations! Xxxxx

feliznavidad2 · 18/11/2021 08:40

Ahhhhh! Amazing news! @paintfairy congratulations xxx

paintfairy · 18/11/2021 08:38

Shut the front door!

I was going to wait until I've sorted my horse to do it, as I weed in a pot at 5am. But then someone said hcg disappears after so long left, so I thought I'd better do it now......

dmb91 · 17/11/2021 23:41

@Minster2012 I have an unrelated gynae appointment next Friday, GP did tell me to mention my lack of periods at the appointment but I'm not sure how I'm meant to bring that up when I'm there for a completely different reason 🤷‍♀️ I've not tried the workouts yet but I will!

@Bea14 I'm taking inositol and seven seas trying for a baby, will see how I get on with those for a bit then maybe switch to conceive plus. Good to hear they improved your cycles!

paintfairy · 17/11/2021 22:03

@Minster2012 the gender scan is very exciting. I hope you get what you wish for!

Can't see me getting much sleep tonight. I've also got cramps and I can't decide if they are those kind.....

Minster2012 · 17/11/2021 21:18

@Dollybird89 I shall have a sneak on Friday, I can't have a look tomorrow as DS will then tell him!! 😂

Yes a gender scan in 2.5 weeks time @whatwonder but I get that time feels like it's on go slow. Horrendous it is, I guess that's the thing about testing early, it then feels like you d known forever 😬but the lines getting stronger are really good

Do your friends ask you what's going on @xoJellyBean? After the post?

@paintfairy 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🍀🍀

xoJellyBean · 17/11/2021 20:45

@Minster2012 yess I almost died lol worst of all I had shared a post to my story and outing my secret insta 🤣 I've started a new one so will have to follow you all ☺️

@Juno231 sorry if I've missed but what did you get done today?! I'm aware I have allll of this ahead of me! The consultant mentioned that much yesterday I'm lost in it all 🙈

Bea14 · 17/11/2021 20:12

@Minster2012 Glad your appointment went well. At least you know there is a plan in place and you have time to get your head around a c-section. So you will get gender scan in 2 and a half weeks time? Amazing how quick it is coming round. Time feels like it is going SO slowly for me!

Totally get @DKDK123 how you couldn't wait that long for the NHS scan. It does seem late! But at least you get to see little one twice. Have you told your son yet?? Can't wait to hear his response.

@Franklydear Nightmare you have covid in the house. Hope the vaccines work and protect you and DH. Glad your son is looking on the positive side of things. I am a teacher and it is throughout schools still across all year groups.

@Juno231 Line was looking darker, thanks for asking. So still just hoping for the best. Your appointment today sounds very fast after all that waiting. Do you feel any more prepared because of it? You seem very chill about the procedure tbh. Hope you get through the rest of your busy week. Although planting trees instead of being at work could be fun?

Welcome @xoJellyBean. Sounds like you haven't had the easiest of journeys so far. I hope you get help with fibroid and glad to hear you have a half decent doctor now! Your story 🙈😳. Do people ask you about TTC now? Imagine announcing you were pregnant by just uploading the test you do to insta stories though!

@Vil10 That sounds exciting about the renovation project. Is your OH on board with a renovation? I would absolutely love a project like that, you could design the house to suit your needs perfectly. We would have liked to do something like that but houses where we are are selling for tens of thousands over asking, the market is just wild. So we wouldn't be able to get one and have the money to renovate. We ended up getting a new build as it is a fixed price. But maybe one day we will do the renovation. I hope your viewings go well! I don't feel organised for our move at all. We are packing everything ourselves (although haven't really started yet 🤦‍♀️) but do have movers booked thankfully. Have you started packing yet? Sounds like a nightmare having to move in with parents again especially whilst TTC but hopefully it will be worth it for that perfect house!
Also after I was referred to fertility clinic it took a couple of weeks for a letter to come through but all the letter said was that I had been referred and that I was on the waiting list which was 12 weeks. I then did get my appointment letter through after about 10 weeks with an appointment in a few weeks time, so it was about a 12 week wait once I was on the list.

Good luck for tomorrow @paintfairy, I really hope this is your time 🤞

@gcat16 Sorry to hear you have had such a rough time since moving. Would you consider trying another school or are you done with teaching? I have been teaching for 10 years and it is bloody hard but I love it. The class you have makes such a difference so every year is so different. If you don't want to go back to teaching then I think you might as well just go for this other job. You can always give it a go and see if might be something you would like to do and potentially go back post maternity. You certainly have lots to think about but all positive hopefully!

All still good with me (I think). I am so bloated and have sore boobs/nips. POAS this morning and the line is darker and the control line is getting slightly lighter so hopefully I might be on my way to getting a dye stealer. I also gagged whilst brushing my teeth last night if that is a positive sign?
