Heading for 💓day with fishy burps & wombs as fluffy as a 70’s bush we say UP YOURS TTC Bus 30

[Minster2012]

We’ve got the fastest TTC 🚌in the UK & we aren’t afraid of a modification or 2 as we have a bus with a beautiful panoramic roof seat where there is wine & snacks a plenty for those that need a bit of a breather from our race car but still hang on to our ride! 🌞

We are heading into February ladies & let’s be honest most of us thought we’ve have cute little babies by now, but instead we’ve got lockdown bellies, fishy burps 🐠from bloody omega 3 supplements & the BIGGEST STASH OF TTC drugs in the planet on this bus including IVF, TTC, vitamins, headaches, anti sickness for pregnancy & some other ones we won’t talk about. We also LOVE a good snack, a pet, a dildo and clit sucker but badly behaved BOSSES are NOT welcome.

So grab your crotchless panties and not much else for Valentine’s Day 💓and invite your men (or women folk) to dinner cos they are being treated like a REAL LADY. Forget January blues. February is where it’s at and we say UP YOURS TTC, we are cumming to get you 🙌🏻🥰

@DJmum83 heartbreaking, I know, I grew up with dogs, so called dangerous breeds too, at 4-5, we ride them like horses, put our heads on their jaw like a lion, pull every appendix, the highlights of my childhood, but we had pet dogs and security dogs, we weren't allowed to play with, holding your hand and preparing the g+t for later,

@Kirky658 that's great, glad to hear it
He had to have investigations a lot of years ago, I think the stress and the less activity of lockdown is getting to him, back then it didn't need to be managed, but he wasn't 45, he says he isn't stressed or worried, but I know is not true, workwise they are suffering with Brexit, basically their suppliers and haulers aren't working as normal, they have redtape issues, at home he is worried about my going to work, and I work with morons, he is constantly watching for signs of covid, also this baby not coming is starting to take its toll, yesterday he was asking about ovulation and implantation and life of sperm in the body, when can we test early, and now I have so many test, I think he'll have me test every week....

@franklydear oh hun sounds like he and you are really going through the mill. Xx

@DJmum83 I think he is better suited for the farm. If he ends up biting someone, especially out in public you might end up having to put him down. You also will not feel comfortable with him and a baby! Unfortunately aggressive behaviour like that can be genetics.
You could try a few more months of special dog training.
I got bitten by one of of the farm dogs when I was little, dad gave him away immediately (to my grandad, as he was a good working dog but hated children). We all used to be terrified of him.

@Kirky658 we are a bit, luckily we are logical pragmatic people, came in handy with an autistic ds, and we'll plot along... everyone is going through the mill now, nobody has it easy, but we are ok, and still have both jobs so we have to count our blessings

@blodyn91 yeah I know your right.
I have been doing special training with a specialist trainer since he was 10 weeks he is nearly 3.
They are coming for him at lunchtime. There will be so many tears but we have to do what's right for him and keep the children safe.
Xxx

@paintfairy @Justanothercyster I think the new guy Dan needs to be careful I don't think he's a dick I just think he's not quite realised & we'll see him getting a dressing down from his Mrs & realise it's not on

@Kirky658 we don't judge here you know that, we just get jealous!! 🤪

@DJmum83 yay for peak thsts great that you get a rest! On the cocker front unless you are willing to get trainers back in and start again I would Re home with the other ppl. Have you heard of "cocker rage?" Its a thing and often red cockers are more prone to it, it can go to Cockapoos too, my groomer had to refuse to groom a red one because of it & he's since been put to sleep. If you are worried for your kids then they would always come first for me. It sounds like a lovely home and of course you will be heartbroken but what you don't need is more stress or for it to bite your child & be put down. You are doing the right thing. Def.

@Franklydear I'm allergic to nickel!! Yes I have to have brass buckles on my belts too or I get the most horrible rash on my tummy & not cheap jewellery! So pleased DH is home, must be so worrying, we are here for a hand hold 😘

So I've got bad progesterone symptoms ladies
Just remind me of this after transfer it's NOT pregnancy symptoms they were there before 🤪
My boobs are SO SORE and heavy and hard and nipples sore and I've had to switch to a softer bra and they are a bit bigger
Broken sleep weird dreams
Yay for medication!

@Franklydear sorry to hear about your hubby hope he is feeling better soon but there is a lot of pressure around at the moment with the pandemic and that’s without everyday life pressures. Sending virtual hugs your way.

@DJmum83 so sorry to hear about your dog but sounds like you are making the right choice by him so try and take some comfort in that. Like you say it’s important to keep your children safe.

@Minster2012 how’s the leg today? You did that good and proper! Thinking we should wrap you in bubble wrap until say 9 months time...

@Juno231 those wait time might not be an indication of other London hospitals tho, could just be isolated to them. Will obvs update you all once the time comes and goes. 22 days to go now! 😬
@Franklydear ahh, how's he doing?

@Gem176 I'm glad you get to see the specialist midwife again, that must be very reassuring after the crap service from the others!
@Minster2012 oh eek to not being able to walk still! Hope you progress as the day goes on!
@Justanothercyster 4 weeks is a lot more reasonable and what I would expect. It's good you have that reassurance!
Yeah we used help to buy for our flat, yay for 5%!!
@Vil10 aww thank you 😊 how you doing today?
@Kirky658 so jel of your maccers breakfast! Yum, enjoy 😉

@Minster2012 I don't use jewelry, DH is sooo happy about that, I can tolerate the purest gold for a few hours, of course that means I love everything sparkling, specially earrings, definitely can't wear metal in ears, my mum used to have my earrings made, in Spain is a law to wear earrings from birth, and a jeweller made them but idea lesser metal for the pun that goes on the ear, even though my mum insisted everything must be the purest gold, and I went into anaphylactic shock after wearing them for a bit, I refused to wear earrings after that and she allowed it

@Minster2012 yeah I have heard of it and he is a red cocker spaniel. I think he may have it. One minute he can be fine then just jump off couch and go for us. He has never went for me but has went for everybody else at some point. I have always been there to get kids out the way but one day I might not. I know it needs to happen but I just feel like I have failed at a dog mum.
The couple that are taking him had a cockapoo and they said he was very aggressive so they know what they are doing.
This is our Ollie really hope he will be happy xx

Used a lesser metal for the pin in the ear, dumb autocorrect

Thanks @Florence13 xx

@DJmum83 hugs, it's so hard, but you're not a failed dog mummy, you're doing what is best for him

@notyetamumbuttrying oh no sorry maybe I wrote that wrong, I can walk all good just very bruised!! I'm just a twat! 22 days yayyyy! And actually with talking to the other clinic tomorrow that will make it better 😚

@Florence13 I did joke when my best mate was pregnant with X that it's good it wasn't me as I did a similar incident when I ordered candles for 2 close friends as "announcements" to them & the stupid parcel delivery guy put them "in a safe place" in the fucking blue recycling bin (who does that???) & it was the night we got back from having our early scan at 9 weeks & I went out in the dark to go get them, walked straight into the tow hook on DH's car, did similar & KO'd myself in the head bending down shouting expletives too. I was like Jesus I'm not a good enough human to carry a baby safely! 4 years on I've clearly not learnt 🤨🤪🤦🏼‍♀️send the bubble wrap if I get a BFP please with STRICT instructions to DH I can't do anything. (That would go in one ear & out the other but we can try right??)

@Franklydear wow you got it bad! Anaphylactic shock from gold?? Wow

@DJmum83 could def be that then combined with being protective over you. He will be happy but it's so hard, and DEF not your fault lovely xxx

@Vil10 Just want to say don't give up hope on the house! I don't know if it is actually an area thing (we are also Lancashire) but I've never known anyone pay asking price ever 😂 our house was listed for 160k (way overestimated though I think) and we got it for 145k after our first offer of 140k got refused. It had been on the market for 6/7 months by that point, although was a part exchange and so was being sold by the housing development company so they probably had more leeway and wanted rid. You may love the house but other houses you love will come along and if you don't get this one for a price you feel comfortable with then it wasn't meant to be!

@Minster2012 not from gold, he used a different metal for the pin in the ear, though my mum would never noticed, idiot

Ahhhh I get it now @Franklydear 🤦🏼‍♀️

I forgot to ask @Justanothercyster if you are buying a new house round you then I guess you aren't gonna be my neighbour!!

How is everyone else feeling?

@larrythelizard @Haiyaa @Billythecat @disneymad85 @Ailie12 @amy2503 @DOB78 @bez91 @blackcurrantqueen @Hopeful110 @InkyPaper @Nats7504 @Thinkingandblinking @tabbycat92 @Katao @Outback81 @French20 @penguinmumma @Elsie2021 @HappyMrsR @Amy00 @Jordie24 @Tournesol90 @TTCAbroad

Oooo @tabbycat92 do you have a tabby cat???

@paintfairy yeah I like Mick too, what you see is what you get. I see what you mean about Michael, I think overall he's sweet but not sure if there's a "Martha side" to him if he likes her so much if you get what I mean? Dan is an instant knob! Thought I get what @Minster2012 means, I think he's probably used to attention and not sure how to deal with it being "married"? Big respect for Tamara though for asserting her power!

@Vil10 good luck 🤞🏼
I know 😣 I would love to move up north but don't want to be so far away from everyone :( tbh though because it's all we've known (££ I mean) it's normal for us if that makes sense?

@Kirky658 it is a weekend! That bub knows what it wants haha.

@DJmum83 with the dog, we just spent ages touching his food whilst he was eating, took the bowl away for a few seconds and praised. He's not fussed at all now. Perhaps try that? Or a behaviourist advice? I get how you must feel about the kids etc, but personally I don't think I could. That being said, you have to do what's best for him, and if this couple will give him an amazing life that means he would be happy everyday, that might be a thought x

@notyetamumbuttrying well let's see and hope 🤞🏼 help to buy is so helpful!

@Justanothercyster aww well I hope you are super happy in your new home.

@Minster2012 yep will definitely send the bubble wrap with strict instructions, it’s got to be worth a shot haha.

@Justanothercyster yes I thought the same about Michael. I'd he a bit that way and you've just not seen it yet? Because Martha has only just shown her true colours. As for Dan, Tamara told him once to move. Yet he still carried on flirting after that. He had a long term partner before so he should know how to behave. Maybe that's why she left!
@DJmum83 very difficult with the dog. Firstly I'll say no amount of having a trainer works if the people with the dog cannot replicate things. The trainer should be training you. Not your dog. If after all this time you are not getting anywhere, then you need a new trainer, or need to look at what you are doing with the dog. The food aggression is very difficult. Some people would not address this at all if it was the only issue and leave them alone to eat. It's usually part of a bigger picture though. So are all other boundaries in place? Or does the dog do what it wants? And is the aggression purely around food or is it around other things too? It's likely fixable. However it's not easy and it's not quick. And every family member needs to be consistent. I struggled just getting my DH to do as he was told with our foster dog (he bit him 4 times 🤣) never mind other people. But there is obviously a massive risk involved with children. And most people would choose not to risk it. Because you'd never forgive yourself if your child gets seriously injured? You'll sob when he goes and miss him for a while. But he may well be happier there and they might get on fine with him? As long as i was sure I'd checked the home out and they weren't dodgy or anything, then I think maybe you are doing the right thing? Hopefully they'll update you too with how he's getting on? He looks lovely bless him.

@lucyrp how lovely!!X

@DJmum83 I think that's our plan, going to leave it until Tuesday next week then ring with our final offer! Also regarding the dog, I've never been in a situation like that so can't really tell you what's best but I think I'd be considering letting the dog go to someone else who had had dogs before if the dog was starting to become aggressive towards my child, i feel like I'd just be on egg shells all the time and any dog is just so unpredictable! Sending hugs, it can't be a nice thing to be going through❤️

@Minster2012 so glad the meds are working!! I have all my limbs crossed for you and a snuggly bean🤞🏼🤞🏼

@notyetamumbuttrying im okay thankyou, had a few down days but picked myself back up today and ready for a new week (and to start my diet again for the 10000 time) 😂

@Ltay2 definitely a Lancashire thing!! I was adamant last night that nobody I know every pays asking price😂 this house we're looking at is on Gisburn, just outside of clitheroe! Definitely, you're right! Thankyou! Hope you're well xx

@Justanothercyster that's exactly what my family say, like we're always blown away by it but they're so used to it now they couldn't not live there!

So girls after a few down days, the house thing then yesterday we went for a walk with OH's best friend and his 2 daughters, who my OH is godfather to both, and seeing how my OH was with the girls and how he looked at his friend when he was playing with them, made my heart and my ovaries ache, he looked exactly how I feel when I see my friends with their babies, and I just felt so low last night I would love to see him be a dad, I know he'd be amazing, I think I've hit the getting impatient phase now😂 but woke up and told myself to stop being a soft arse and put my big girl pants on, OH went to work early so I've had a lazy day so far, werent hungry so did a face mask, put coconut oil in my hair, and only just had my breakfast now! Going to OH's mums soon to drop a card off for her birthday, then it's a chilled day, with some treats before back to healthy eating tomorrow! Hope everyone else is feeling okay❤️ (also the pic of my food i know it isn't exactly aesthetically pleasing but it was lovely, and my greasy coconut hair, promise this works a treat)

@Vil10 how long do you leave the oil in? Can honestly say I've never tried it!

Hey hope you're all doing ok. I'm starting to regret having started BBT as now my anxiety has soared after reading about temperatures more in depth. It looks like both half's of my cycle the temperatures are indicating something's wrong with me. Here's what I read...

“A pre-ovulatory basal body temperature that is consistently below 97.5 F / 36.4 C can be indicative of hypothyroidism”.

The first half of my cycle, temperatures were all below 36.15 C ☹️

“After ovulation occurs, the luteal phase begins. Temperatures should 98.2 F / 36.7 C or higher in the luteal phase—a whole degree higher than those in the follicular phase, and would indicate ideal progesterone levels.”

Mines are all below 36.7 C

I'm screwed!

@DJmum83 I agree with @paintfairy if it's just food aggression it's likely fixable but you said he's jumped down off the sofa & "just gone for everyone at some point" which seems more than that & I would be more worried about that as if that's not around food it's more protection or just aggression it needs more work & totally agree it needs so much consistency etc I would be worried with kids in the house that if offered a lovely other place to live then I personally would do the same thing

@Vil10 that looks lovely what d'ya mean rubbish presentation?? And totally get the 10 months thing lovely especially when you know OH (and you) will be perfect parents 😘♥️

@2020mission how old are you btw? Temping can be stressful I think, but yes it can def indicate ovulation & is often quite a reliable method. Have you had your bloods done at the gp?
