TWINS?! Oh f**k! 😱 avoiding those 🧀🍆& banging in camper vans; it’s TTC bus 42

[Minster2012]

So ladies. You thought you got rid of me eh? Like the omnipresent flashing smiley face on the joker clear blue sticks you can’t get past I’m BACK! 🤡😄

The agency driver did the most amazing job I tried to offer a permanent job but apparently temping is much more lucrative & she’s got a gig elsewhere much better paid than driving you reprobates so you a stuck with me I’m afraid, like that rash you’ve been meaning to go to the doctors about or a guy with a cheesey dick you really need to have a conversation with but can’t bring yourself too 🤪�hthank you so much @larrythelizard

We’ve reserved a bench seat each for our newest 2 sets of bus twins, but don’t worry there’s still room for more!

So get those cheese dicks 🧀🍆washed & prepped, park up the camper van, ditch the whey powder & join the team for the banging game!

The price of your bus pass is an embarrassing story please, doesn’t have to go be TTC related and nothing is TMI here so let’s hope the ride (bus not banging) doesn’t take long 🤞🏻🙌🏻

This is where dogs, dicks & chat go hand in hand as we navigate the stormy seas of TTC.

And if you see mention of my blog then blame these guys they made me do it...#shamelessplug

Hope you all don't mind me asking, but as I've got over a month now till me and my fiance can try again, are there any foods and/or suppliments that we can increase our intake of during this month to help boost our chances next time?
We have cut alcohol, fizzy drinks, caffeine. We have both been taking multi vitamins for the past 3/4 months too.
I'm trying my hardest to keep calm too, but I can't help my anxiety taking over. Any tips to help chill out!! 🤣🤣🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I was an absolute mess on Friday 😭😭

Thank you!

@clairey844 if it makes you feel any better we decided to do a major kitchen refurb the month before DS was born as in rip out the entire kitchen, knock down walls, lift up floorboards, install patio doors on a completely different wall the place was a disaster zone.....and DS decided he was going to be born a whole month early half way thru it and was brought home from hospital to a building site 🙈😂 So don't worry about not being organised, a few baby grows, nappies, bath, somewhere for baby to sleep and car seat to get home and you're ready to go, the rest you can get along the way all baby is looking for is food cuddles and sleep in those early days.

@bez91 The route 66 is through Conqueror events they do lots of different ones I did the Lands end to John o Groats during lockdown and it was great to give me something to focus on. You have to pay for it but for me that keeps me more accountable so that I dont give up. Once you sign up you download the app and you can check your journey along the way going into street view to see exactly where you are and they send you virtual postcards at different points along the way and post you out a medal at the end when you finish, they also plant real trees for certain checkpoints you reach. I've got a 10% off referral code if you ever want to do one just let me know and I'll send it to you (or anyone that wants one).

@haiyaa keeping fingers, toes and everything crossed for you 🤞🤞🤞

@notyetamumbuttrying I'm so excited for you! Rest up and sending every bit of positivity your way🤞

@Minster2012 I would be astounded if all 4 make it tomorrow too! She first said the remaining 3 and then changed it to 4 so unsure if slip of the tongue or that 1's already not likely to make it, time will tell!
Really hope you get some ov clarity soon!🤞🏾
@Franklydear I would hate to hear a teen singing unless she had a great voice, and even then it'd only be if I wanted to hear her 😂
@2020mission eek I know! Yeah I've got hay fever too. The sonographer today, sneezed whilst scanning me, i jumped and she was like, I'm wearing a mask, don't worry 😆
@KiwiTTC1st a multi vitamin is fine. See how much coQ10 is in it, you may want to up that if it's below 100mg per day. Perhaps up vit d too depending on how much you're getting from your multi vitamin.
@DKDK123 thank you mate, that's really sweet of you! How you feeling today?

@notyetamumbuttrying she has a lot of enthusiasm👍
3 new fishes, more corys
@KiwiTTC1st we had fun with that last year, someone dig up the list, yes, there’s a list😵

@notyetamumbuttrying thank you!, I'm taking the seven seas trying for a baby tablets and they don't contain any coQ10 in them at all. Will have a look at getting some coQ10 tablets too. Thank you

@Franklydear she sings along?? Oh god🤪

@KiwiTTC1st I take a lot of future you Cambridge supplements, and I know a few others do too (including those that have got pregnant) I can get a refer s friend 20% if you want. I take their co-enzyme Q10+, DH takes the fertility one for men which is tomato based, I also take their vitamin C, omega 3 & a blood flow one on top of vitamin D & evening primrose oil up until ovulation.

@notyetamumbuttrying well we've all got fingers crossed for you. Sooooo do you have a testing schedule???

Thank you @Minster2012! Otd is 17th June and gonna try and stick to it. Can't bear the thought of squinting at lines or anything. It might be nice to live in a bubble for a bit but ask me again next week and I might say something different 😂

@Minster2012 I am sure she would be mortified if she knew we can hear her, she is home alone but the walls are thin....

@notyetamumbuttrying glad it all went well!! Let's all think sticky bean vibes!!

@2020mission I hope it comes back soon too, I can't cope with it much longer😩 I'm not binging on snacks as such but I've been eating so much just trying to get some taste and flavour in!!

Oh @Vil10 it doesn't sound fun, if it's any help I can tell you the cider earlier tasted good 🤪

@Franklydear you assume she'd be mortified, you'll see her on X factor next year after ppl around her have told her she's amazing 😝

@notyetamumbuttrying noted and I love the attitude, I mean it worked for @Crazydoglady123 to edit the full TWW right??? Oh wait, maybe not 🤫

Big catch up incoming 😂

@Vil10 oh bless ya!

@Minster2012 big hugs lovely, seeing the scan pics is tough, especially when the dates line up. It's also not just you with the logging 😂 I do it to!

@BlondePotter congrats on the birth of Luna!! Hope you're all doing well

@Crazydoglady123 aww bless ya! Hope the morning sickness eases off soon

@Haiyaa my line eyes are shocking but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a good outcome!

@notyetamumbuttrying wooooooooooooooop! That's great news

@Franklydear I was just like your neighbour 😂 I'd sing along to everything as loud as possible 🙈

I have painful boobs, nausea and I'm as emotional as hell. So AF is probably gonna turn up any day now 🙄 I did get my first covid jab today though 😄

@Vil10 thank you hun! Hope the taste and smell return soon, can't imagine how frustrating it is!
@Minster2012 haha 😂 well I've been Googling and think earliest I'll do it is 9dp. At least it'll be a certain result by then.
@InkyPaper thanks babes! Ahh is that how you usually get before AF then? Ooh well done on the jab! Does your arm kill? Mine did for days! 😩

From this evening… definitely not imagining it! Fucking terrified (I know a lot of you ladies will understand), now the next countdown to AF due next Sat 🙏🙏🙏

@Haiyaa woohoo to two lines!! 👏🏾 pretty clear for so early! How many dpo or do you not know?

@Haiyaa definitely not imagining it!

@notyetamumbuttrying sometimes?! My pms symptoms are a law unto themselves, so it's a horrible random selection of symptoms each time. My arm is a little sore but my joints hurt and I'm so tired 😂 not sure if that's because of the jab or what but I might go for an early night!

@Haiyaa I see it!! I see the lines!! Keeping crossed for you lovely 🤞♥️

Just popped on to catch up and G @Haiyaa!!!! 🥳🥳🥳 that second pic is super clear, I've got a good feeling for you.

Right, off to scroll now...

Oh bless your pooch @kaylsd she deffo looks better with fluff!

I liked your insta story with the obstacle course @bez91, looked fun! Hoping you're not isolating...🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

I love a virtual sticker @Minster2012 it's sort of like Strava for sex right?! Although I am off all apps for now!

You should all be able to guess what my husbands called after Friday night's chat 😂😂😂

Was wondering if your pic was going to be the dogs in a bikini @Minster2012! Not that warm in Devon this weekend but I went for swimming costume and shorts yesterday because I'm on my holidays!!

Wahoo @notyetamumbuttrying you're officially PUPO! Stick little bean, stick!!

Did we all think that covid jab delays ovulation? Day 19 (I think) here and no sign of the normal EWCM so assume no ovulation (yet?)...?

@KiwiTTC1st for women increasing your protein is a great way of helping your chances along, the month I got my BFP is when I increased my protein intake and counted my macros whilst trying to keep fit too. I also took the seven seas ttc tablets for the first time that month too. Oh and EPO! On the cutting alcohol front I'm pretty sure I was sambucca sick into my hands the same month I got my BFP 🤣🤣

@Haiyaa definitely two there now!

@notyetamumbuttrying are you PUPO now then ?!😁xx

@InkyPaper early night sounds sensible to me! Sleep well 😴
@larrythelizard 🙌🏾 at last eh!
The jabs been known to mess with cycles, it didn't mine but I know it has others.
@lucyrp I am indeed, eek 😬

Well @InkyPaper we can hope those symptoms aren't AF until proven otherwise! 🤞🏻early night is def a good thing I think and hope you continue to feel "ok"

@notyetamumbuttrying ok so the countdown is on until 9dpo but yeah def right then 🤞🏻🤞🏻🙌🏻

@Haiyaa that's VERY clear 🥰🙌🏻🥳but we understand, after MC it's absolutely terrifying

@larrythelizard mine was wrong time of the month to comment really but I think it can def affect things, loving the Strava for sex!

@lucyrp it was def the month you were sick in your hands from sambuca, Cos I joked it needed adding to the list 🤣so maybe sambuca @KiwiTTC1st? But def a good idea for vitamin D, and coq Q10 & maybe something for him? There's no harm

@Juno231 did you have a good lunch? X

@Minster2012 I just looked back on my photos on my phone to check and I was indeed sambucca sick into my hands over my kitchen sink exactly a week before I ovulated 😂😂 just to clarify I don't have pictures of my sick just of my friend with Beer bottle caps on her nipples over her clothes 🤣

@notyetamumbuttrying, I’m 9dpo, I was temping this month so pretty sure that is right.

@larrythelizard yes 100% covid jabs have been messing with ovulation. I wasn’t temping but my cycles were longer and I wonder if I actually ovulated at all then to be honest.

@KiwiTTC1st, definitely evening primrose oil but only until ovulation and I had also started myo inositol this month and I might continue as I saw an article published by Great Ormond Street that said it is good when combined with folic acid in preventing neural tube defects. There is a small amount in the Pregnacare Max vitamins but the study used 1000mg each day along with the usual 400mcg folic acid.
