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

Roll on the summer

🤞🏻💓😘🥳🙌🏻

@Dollybird89 don't worry about catching up, you just hang in there & pop in every now & then 😘hope you get your foot sorted, I did the RuPaul EMKfit thing the other day & I was literally making half of it up I couldn't do it 🤣

@Crazydoglady123 & @blackcurrantqueen
you've got this, we have snuggly babies in there you'll see

@larrythelizard that sounds like me, I've done a joe wicks workout when DS was watching tv in my bed now we are chilling outside but you know when you are just walking round doing "bits of jobs"/flitting and then not really getting anything done?! When I've got quite a bit to do 🤔

@Haiyaa just keep thinking of the hairy balls attached to 🧀🍆

@Vil10 I have SIGNS of ovulation but I don't think it's happened, I had twinges & cramps yesterday & day before and ewcm for a week but I don't think anything had popped out 🤣I'm just gonna have to wait for AF & hope it gets back to a cycle next time

@Franklydear im gonna hope it's not flair up 🤞🏻are you gonna book anything for home or wait to see first?

Def hope @Juno231 gets good news too, did they say when you might head back? A really good interview technique I used to get ppl to do is after the interview to email the interviewers with something like

"Mr/Mrs & mr Mrs X

I wanted to thank you again for your time to interview me yesterday for the position of XXX, and reiterate my interest. I really enjoyed finding out more about the role and XXXX (firm/team), it sounds exactly what I am looking for, and believe my skills and experience would fit well.

I look forwards to hearing back from you in due course, and if you have any concerns please do let me know and I would be happy to address those.

Kind regards,
Juno

@larrythelizard @Minster2012 POAS nearly had to blow dust off my HPT stash it's been that long, BFN.. long cycle club strikes again 🤣

least when I get my clinic appointment next month they'll be able to prescribe me some northisterone again to bleed and restart a fresh one I guess as by then if no AF I'll be on CD 84 by time it comes round 😳

@Haiyaa end of the week they said but I think it might be next week. I did the best I could but if there's someone out there with a stronger cv then there's not much I can do about that! I really hope this is it though...

@vil10 thanks lovely also good to know! I am worried with my asthma to be honest. Currently in an online queue waiting to book the jab haha... I have an appt with my gp on Friday to discuss having it though which is good.

@franklydear oooo sounds promising?!

@juno231 hope you get it hun x

As long as you did your best @Juno231, you can't control there being a candidate better than you.

@kaylsd ah fuck, always worth a go though? I've lost track, have you got an appt coming up?

@Minster2012 I have now put three pans and some mugs in the dishwasher and turned it on, much tidier in there with no effort!

Was planning on sunbathing between work today but a) it's cloudy and b) I have a blood test at 12.20!

@Vil10 much better thanks! Very short lived luckily. How's the taste and smell coming along?!
@Crazydoglady123 good luck for this morning my lovely ☺️
@DKDK123 what a sweet and caring boss you have!

@Juno231 I missed the posts about you saying you had an interview, fast work girl! All the best for it 🤞🏾
@Franklydear here's hoping the sickness means what we think it all means!! 😬

@larrythelizard good I'm glad!!

@Minster2012 dam those silly eggs!! At least you're producing the ewcm and it is your first cycle after mc, give your body the rest and hopefully next cycle it'll come back stronger💪🏽

@Kirky658 oh that's good then!! Maybe make a note of all your concerns and worries and I'm sure having your appointment will put your mind at rest x

@Juno231 hope you get it!! Keeping everything crossed for you x

@notyetamumbuttrying good!! Now positive sticky vibes! Still no taste and smell which is rubbish but feeling great in myself, think it'll be a few weeks before I get it back!!

Thank you ladies, love you all!

@notyetamumbuttrying yes the head of the team found me on linkedin last week and asked if I was interested. He offered me a job in 2017 so hopefully he'll like me still lol. Really good salary, 30 days annual leave, and a good team/role. First one in ages I've been excited about so I figured I'd go for it. I chatted to him and HR last week and managed to get the first two rounds of interviews in yesterday - I'm doing all I can to get in there first as the recruiters only got hold of the spec last Tuesday! They'll be incentivised to get me over the recruiter candidates as well to save the 20k recruitment fee or whatever so fingers crossed.

@larrythelizard exactly chick was worth a shot for nothing! & yeah :) a little wait away but 28th July is our first appointment, keep checking the NHS apps for cancellation dates but nothing yet 🤣 other trusts around me it's 77 days for first appointment & 52 weeks wait for treatment so I've got to count my blessing that mines not too far away with a 28 week wait for treatment I guess 🙊 x

Just popping on to say don't touch Oak furnitureland with a 10 foot bargepole. Ordered furniture in January, due for delivery next week, now being told there's a 3 week delay!!!

@Kirky658 omg the guy who owns it, we live next door to his sister!! And our neighbour down the road said the same thing to me the other week! Said their delivery and customer service is shocking!!

@vil10 omg no way!!! We've had furniture off them before and the furniture is great, but we have constantly had to email them as the prices keep going down before the items are delivered as well! I've asked for a refund of the £35 delivery fee as they clearly can't offer what we've paid for. X

'Only' 28 weeks @kaylsd you lucky thing!! That's awful isn't it?!

@Juno231 sounds fab - always helps when you have someone to vouch for you. I had a random approach from a recruiter last week for a BIG role - think it's a very long shot but waiting on a time for the first 'discovery' interview...!

@Juno231 is the 30 days annual leave inclusive of public holidays? I lost so many holidays when I moved jobs in 2018. I used to have 30 days and on top of that 8 public holidays, the office closed between Christmas and New Year and I had accrued an extra days leave for every year of service after 2 years (an extra 3 on top of that) so in total had 46 😅 I moved to my current job and they advertised the job with the phrase "excellent holiday allowance" and when I asked they said 30. I wrongly assumed that was not including the bank holidays and soon realised I had dropped to 22 days annual leave 🙄 as removing the bank holidays that I had to book from my own leave, that's what it was. Won't make that mistake again! I hope you get the job 🤞 I kick myself for not interviewing for somewhere sooner but always had the worry of getting pregnant in the next cycle 😆 I wish there was also a way to tell what a manager is like before accepting a job as that's the real problem for me in my current job. He's just awful. My colleague was on sick leave for a month a few weeks ago because of him causing her stress. She told HR and they still didn't do anything as he's on the board and his wife is best friends with all the other board members.

It's shocking isn't it @2020mission - I've been on the receiving end of that sort of behaviour before. I get 32.5+BH - I fear that will be quite a drop if I was to leave where i am...!

That's frustrating @2020mission my benefits far outweigh my pay for the sector but 31+8 bank holidays is good and they're very flexible which suits at the moment. Fingers crossed for you @Juno231 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Well that was emotional (again)! Both babies growing perfect for their dates. Heard both heartbeats. Had a cry with the nurse over how unfair it is what some people have to go through and how I'm so grateful to have got to this stage. All the nurses and reception team cooed over the scan pictures and I have now officially graduated from the IVF clinic and over to the NHS ❤️❤️

Thank you for all the good luck. Your turn Sunday @blackcurrantqueen 👏👏

@Vil10 glad you're feeling good hun!
@Juno231 fingers crossed indeed! Sounds fab babe, good luck not that you'll need it! 😉
@Crazydoglady123 how lovely! You must be thrilled to bits!! X

@notyetamumbuttrying it still doesn't feel real 😂 and I feel sad leaving the clinic 🙈 How are you holding up in the TWW? Are you going to last longer than I did before testing 🙄

Eeeek @Crazydoglady123, that’s so amazing! Brilliant that your little beans are getting nice and cozy!

Oh yes @notyetamumbuttrying how are you getting on? I would probably waste a fortune testing every day if I were you 😂

@crazydoglady123 woop woop that's amazing 😍❤️

Something to make you chuckle. It's DH's 30th on the 21st and I have ordered him a personalised bottle opener as part of my gifts to him. However I misread the instructions for personalisation so it has been delivered so it reads happy 30th birthday to my name rather than his 🤣🤣

@Crazydoglady123 ahhhh look at those babies 😍😍😍 I'm so pleased it's all going so well for you, so stop feeling guilty, you deserve this too 💗
I'm not showing but the progesterone is making me feel horribly bloated. How about you?

@Juno231 think minsters email sounds perfect, everything crossed for you xx

@Haiyaa have we got a POAS update ??

@Dollybird89 ouch on the foot front,
Sounds like you could do with a trip to the doctors!!!

@2020mission god office politics are utter bullshit aren't they!!

@Kirky658 I remember you saying about your furniture and the refund before, I can't believe it still hasn't arrived!! Send @Vil10 round to her neighbours 😂

@Minster2012 ok ru Paul EMK sounds RIGHT up my street...

@blackcurrantqueen not today, going to do another tomorrow when I will be 12dpo. I am feeling super nauseous though especially after anything sweet and my appetite has gone through the floor. Seems early for that sort of thing but hoping it’s a good sign.

Oh dear @Kirky658, baby brain has struck! 🤣🤣🤣

@larrythelizard I bet youve been even more productive now! You beat me definitely!

@Crazydoglady123 🥰😘🙌🏻thats amazing so pleased for you yessssssssssss

@Vil10 silly eggs indeed, I looked at my notes for the 2 cycles I had and the symptoms are the same so either I've ovulated and it's all good or a cycle off I have no idea! But we've covered everything anyway

@Juno231 oooo that sounds good & they def would save a big fee

@kaylsd are you waiting for the northisterone at that appointment?

@notyetamumbuttrying how are you holding up? Prime implantation time today!
