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

@Haiyaa

We have gone for the Stanbury in dark blue *@Juno231*, we got a quote for an almost identical kitchen from Wickes, and by finding our own fitters, using DIY Kitchens and the independent for the quartz it is literally about £5000 cheaper! It’s unbelievable! Plus we really liked the quality of the DIY units, they are pretty solid.

@Minster2012 not too bad, think progesterone has me as I am raging (but am at the 🧀🍆 practice again so might just be that…) Didn’t want to spam everyone, but did test this morning and looking good for 12dpo, even have a line on the 25miu cheapy. Even more miraculous that I got those lines when I have been drinking ALL the water and even my FMU is rather light so I’m happy (for now) 😂

@Haiyaa second to the DIY kitchens, absolutely fabulous! We live quite near where the industrial estate is for DIY so it's a common theme round our area to go for them so you've got a good choice there :D Can I do a loud congratulations for your BFP 🥺🙈😘💁🏼‍♀️

Trying to catch up but I stupidly used all my data by not switching to Wifi at home 🤣🤦🏽‍♀️ and ive had a busy week outside the house so minimal time to read and post.

Absolutely shattered at the minute, no clue what DPO I am Altho should be due Monday (didn't track this month just used @Franklydear dates haha as they're close enough)
Had my 2nd vaccine yesterday and booked today off as I was so ill with the first. Feel much better this time and been on 4hrly paracetamol to help.
Had a few funny turns but that could just be the heat. Or a mixture of both.
Slight nausea and light headed red at points on/off and extremely fatigued at the minute like I could sleep stood up haha

That could be because I seem to be waking every morning about 5-6am for a wee!! It's doing my head in haha

Just also had a lovely bout of stabby fanny in the car home too...

Great lines @Haiyaa !!
And now I can't remember what else I read? 🤦🏽‍♀️

Thank you @kaylsd yes I suppose a loud congratulations is allowed now 😂 just going to take it one small milestone at a time. Feels completely different to last time so hopefully that is a good sign. Still going to wait a few weeks before hopping onto the grad thread though and hoping there will be a few more of you to wait at the bus stop with me!

@Lexber are you going to test? You and @Franklydear have lots of good symptoms going on! I woke up early for weeks with DD and the last one but this time complete opposite and I have just fallen asleep watching a dietitian/tube feeding webinar. (Sorry @Sausage1990 it was very interesting but my eyes had other ideas). Seems a bit early for this level of symptoms, they say things come in threes right… 👯‍♀️ man my DH would freak out, would be a definite “oh fuck” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Haiyaa I'm Not testing until @Franklydear has... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm not due until Monday and have a very busy weekend ahead (no planned drinking) so unless I suddenly get obvious signs I'm going to wait for AF I think, I have no tests at home (I did about 6 cheapies and 4 FRER last month - on my first month so don't want to be testing every day again haha) so can't be tempted....

Trying to be chilled out after my first month of TTC where I was a little obsessive 🤣🤣🤣

Deffo get POAS over the weekend @Lexber that sounds very hopeful!!

Oooh can you imagine @Haiyaa?!

@Haiyaa those lines! So happy for you!

@Franklydear those pastry's 😍🤤 My neighbours were cooking something that I can only refer to as smelling like a cheese and bacon pasty last night and that's all I fancy now 😂 I'm seriously hoping the tears and the nausea is for the best reason 🤞

@paintfairy so jealous of horse camp!

@notyetamumbuttrying you do get used to the progesterone in time, well I am now after how ever many weeks of it now

@blackcurrantqueen did you manage to grab a nap? I don't think the heats helping with the first tri tiredness at all. I've felt so drowsy today. My DS is luckily at an age which he can entertain himself. Monday and Tuesday he had after school activities but I said for both he had to let me have a nap after school before I took him. So excited for Sunday for you ❤️

@Dollybird89 sorry for the bfn

Shockingly got my NHS Antenatal appointment through and 12 week scan today after only registering yesterday! Pretty quick for NHS standards! 6th July is the midwife appointment and 12th July is the 12 week scan. Also off to look at a house for sale tonight 🤞

@paintfairy gotta say I didn't know there were horse camps for adults! Makes sense though, there's camps for everything else. That sounds like a blast though, hope you enjoy it.

@larrythelizard I've been emotional too crying over silly things - I watched a film last night and sat sobbing at the end 🤣🤣
I'm not letting myself get excited or symptom spot, so much so I'm currently attempting to mow the front garden 🪴
We've been doing work to the back and had a tonne of stones on the front so been unable to mow for ages. Plus had a pile of old bushes to move so I've been sorting all that just now as I'm sick of seeing it and the grass has suddenly gotten so long it's like a blood jungle and looks terrible! Doesn't help I'm allergic to cut grass so itching now but will be glad it's been done as looks better already It's not even finished Altho I now have cut arms from the brambles 🤦🏽‍♀️🤣

If I am up the shoot I will def get lots of greatness off oh for doing this... someone I know (not my bestie) is pregnant and you'd think she was dying as she does nothing and makes her oh do it for her... I'm all for resting, you need to but I can't sit about all day for 9months I'm a up and go kinda girl! I decorated my eldests nursery at 36 weeks myself as o was sick of waiting for her dad to pull his thumb out his arse 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Minster2012 in my app that goes as creamy cm, right after ovulation for me too
@Juno231 haven't been actually sick today, and have like bag daggers for a few minutes, so uncomfortable, freaked me out, other than that the same, cd 23 now so can't be long

@Lexber tweeny! I had the standby pains, your description is better,
@Crazydoglady123 I was genuinely moved with your scan though
@Dollybird89 sorry for the bfn, I am not testing yet purely cos I don't want to see it

Vag dagger would be better description that bag🤦

I was sat driving and at first thought I had got myself trapped @Franklydear 🤣🤣🤣 then realised it was just random vag daggers 🤣🤣🤣
I even tried to readjust myself at traffic lights....

IF I ovulated when I think I did/app suggested then I am 9dpo but I could have been earlier or later.
I'm same as @Franklydear I don't want to know either way yet. I don't want the massive disappointment of a BFN especially knowing I'm not due until Monday if my body is back to how it should be and dates are right. I had a first ever 30cd last month with only 4 days light AF so I'm not even sure I ovulated anyway...

@Lexber I was at work getting off a high office chair, counters are really tall, I thought I did myself an injury, but it passed a while later, a long while though, anybody know what the fuck is that?

Ooooo so we've got some lightening fanny for both @Lexber & @Franklydear then 🤫🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻so hopefully we see no AFs at the weekend only lines

@Crazydoglady123 that's brilliant more dates to focus on, fab!

Noted my cm as creamy (potentially yoghurt) 🤣

In the end I got OH to stop working and take her so I managed a little nap, thanks for asking @Crazydoglady123

Excellent news you've got your scans and stuff through already! 💕

I am going to look at the curious George videos... @larrythelizard

@Minster2012 what are these videos that distract X?

Fanny daggers and positive vibes I hope @Lexber @Franklydear 💗

I vote Sunday is an excellent day to test..!

@Haiyaa I too havent got on the grad bus yet, like you say one day at a time, I genuinely believe when you feel so differently it really is a good sign, I've been the exact same so I'm really hoping this is our rainbow! 🌈

I don't blame you @Lexber but here's hoping for no AF over the weekend (you too @Franklydear)! Also just saying but @Haiyaa mentioned vag pains...

I feel quite wiped out, not enough sleep and woke up with what I thought was a stye yesterday morning which sort of popped and now it's all sore and a bit swollen in my under eye bag which I think is what's giving me a headache!

@blackcurrantqueen There's quite a few on Netflix like "little baby bum learning songs" it's those kind of thing as well as grizzly & the lemmings (which I like as it doesn't have annoying talking!)

@blackcurrantqueen Sunday sounds reasonable
@larrythelizard did she? Hmm
@Minster2012 my child still likes the annoying talking, but now he adds discussing it with me

@Crazydoglady123 so happy to hear the scan went well 🥰 Happy graduation day to the NHS another hurdle over with hopefully you can feel a little more at ease 😁

@Kirky658 the personalisation mix up made me chuckle, I'd still give it to him it'll give him a giggle 😂

@Minster2012 think you've definitely covered all bases with that BD, we'll present you with shagger of the month award 🏆

@larrythelizard go for the job AND the baby. If you get the job and fall pregnant you'll still be working there nearly 9 months before going off on mat leave anyway its not like you'd only be there a few weeks and leaving you'll have your feet quite firmly in the door by then.

I'm a stay away from Wrens vote too! Delivered our kitchen (the one that was demolished as DS was coming home from hospital as a baby) and forgot to include the main corner larder that we ordered and needed to fit that as everything else came off of that measurement wise. They they told us it would be a further 3 weeks before they could get it sent up from England and wouldn't wouldn't give us the display model in store that we said we'd accept as we were on a time limit. So DH went into the store with his screw-gun and said either they produce the one we paid for asapor he was removing the one from from display and taking it home that day ......funnily enough they managed to change that it'll come in 3 weeks to it'll come in 3 days! Not the stress you need when you've just had a baby!

@minster2012 Greek yogurt cm that's a new one for the ttc vocab list 😂 hopefully that means you've ovulated, I usually get creamy white cm the day after ovulation 🤞

@Franklydear glad you're not feeling as bad (even if it is all the pills doping you up) but also hoping the nausea is not illness related but a good sign 🤞

@dollybird89 big hugs on the bfn. But glad your foots been seen too and hopefully it'll start to feel less painful soon so you can get back on track with all the good exercising you've been doing.

@Haiyaa soem fab strong lines there 😁

@blackcurrantqueen nearly at Sunday, must be feeling like time is dragging for you just now! Hope you're managing to calm the nerves as much as you can.

Those with younger children, Daniel Tigers Neighbourhood on netflix, he's got a short song for everything, getting angry, sharing, using potty, separation anxiety etc we only discovered it quite recently but it's worked a treat with DS as I now get him to sing the calm down song 'give a squeeze nice and slow (self hug) then take a deep breath and let it go' or 'when you feel so mad that you want to roar, take a deep breath and count to 4' - they've worked amazingly with his tantrums. Can also get his story books on amazon we bought the 5 minute stories that have lots of stories in them and read them before bed and can pick a story that relates to something that day so we can talk about what he did and what he can do differently next time by copying Daniel.

Catching up!

@haiyaa those lines look so promising lovely ❤️
@lexber just saying those symptoms were before I got my BFP, not wanting to get hopes up but they genuinely were
@franklydear 8 hope you're feeling better and it's actually a BFP on the way and not a chest infection!
@minster2012 greek yoghurt cm. Good way to describe it 🤣🤣
@dkdk123 oh he's definitely still having it, I will make it the first present he opens lol! I've also got him these hotel chocolat chocolates you put in the fridge and they become like sorbets inside as I felt a bit bad 🤣

Dh decided to get kebabs for dinner, stuffed+nauseous+bloated=notahappyfrankie❌‼️

@DKDK123 omg. Not what you need at all. Laughing at going to wren with a screwdriver. 🤣
@Juno231 of course adult horse camps exist! 🥳 Usually try to do 1 a year. This year I'm doing 2! Although I'm exhausted just trying to get everything ready. Be good to get away from home though. Fed up now.
@Haiyaa eek! The lines are real! Congratulations!

@feliznavidad2 oh no hope you feel better soon!

Yes to 'relaxed' shagging 🦎 🥳@larrythelizard I've had 21 day bloods done for last 2 cycles, first one was anovulatory cycle and the second borderline but if I did I ovulated late so maybe I should have had them done later. When will you get results? Gosh everyone seems tired and run down this week, hope your headache clears up with sleep.

@blackcurrantqueen oh no on the early wake ups. My DD has woken between 5-5;30am since birth 😫 she's 3.5 now and we're just turning a corner, coupled on top to your fatigue and sickness must be exhausting 💕 not too far until Sunday 🤞🏼

@Crazydoglady123 wow that is super quick! What's the deal with the house? Different location? Upsizing for twins? 😆

@Minster2012 greek yoghurt of unknown origin 😆 reminds me of the time we were potty training DD, she wee'd a few times over a week and I noticed she passed a few little salt crystals. It happened about 4 times and DH argues to this day they were rice crispies (whilst dissecting them on the kitchen side 🙄) had her tested for all sorts but I'm 99.9% sure I was right, all was ok anyway 😆

@Lexber they're pretty good signs 😬 fingers crossed for you and @Franklydear

@DKDK123 that's class, I've got a screwdriver and I'm not afraid to use it

Just saw this on FB, it's really got my back up. Completely trivialising fertility and IVF and walking into the fertility clinic on a day out like jumping on the log flume at Alton Towers fb.watch/60M-cMvuXP/

She changes babies more frequently that she changes cars, not a role model, me thinks
