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

@bez91 that's infuriated me!! "We've been trying naturally for ages" pretty sure they haven't even been together a year so can't be that long??

Minster2012 · 09/06/2021 20:59

@bez91 just urgh. Honestly. It's the "man of my dreams" well one of em has to be ffs. Honestly hate her. @bez91 I think you should try the fat 21s later on. Rice crispies do bloody get everywhere

@Kirky658 I still have no idea if it was cm or yoghurt 🤣

@Franklydear has it passed?

Minster2012 · 09/06/2021 21:03

Btw I've just ordered done easy@home OPKs on my own Amazon account so it doesn't show to Ppl at work, to use next cycle, no FRERS. But if I were to order FRERS on Amazon which ones would I order? There seems to be a lot of fakes? Was it @larrythelizard or @bez91 that said they'd never bought one in a shop? Any tips

OP posts:
Franklydear · 09/06/2021 21:10

@Minster2012 less bloated now and not nauseous, don’t know for how long, having uncomfortable feeling vag, feel periody one minute, pregnant the next, you can all visit me on sundays in the sanitarium... but bring me a frer....
Now, is normal crying at random babies on the telly, right? right?, in criminal minds....

notyetamumbuttrying · 09/06/2021 21:28

@Crazydoglady123 I've mellowed a lot today! Cramping feels intense tonight, praying this is implantation and not just the progesterone 🤞🏾
Yay to the nhs schedule and hope the viewing went well! Exciting times for you at mo 😃
@Franklydear really hoping this it for you!!
I'm also in the not wanting to know yet like you two @Lexber totally get that!
@bez91 I've not clicked on that link yet, thinking I shouldn't if I don't want to be wound up but I'm intrigued by who you're all talking about so I'm gonna have to aren't i! 🙈

bez91 · 09/06/2021 21:33

@Minster2012 that's me whose never bought one in a shop. I mean to be fair, I've not been in many shops in the last 15 months like many 😆 I've heard of fakes on Amazon though, I've never had one and ordered on there each time. Probably pot luck!

So @Franklydear is that a yes to testing Sunday? 😊

larrythelizard · 09/06/2021 21:34

These are the ones I have previously ordered @Minster2012. Either they're faulty or it's true I'm not pregnant (and recent weight gain entirely crisp and giant American marshmallow related). You can decide for yourself 🤷🏻‍♀️

In about a week I think @bez91. I did pay for one round of bloods but was told it was borderline - not sure I believe that anymore after talking to the bus. Be interesting to see what these say. I do wonder if I'm not actually ovulating and may end up at a private clinic but want this job stuff to play out first!

Weren't you buying a new build @Crazydoglady123 or was that someone else?!

@Franklydear don't overthink it, what can you distract yourself with until the weekend??

I've somehow used all my data too @Lexber and have to wait until July 3rd for more! No idea what I've used it on!!

How are you and DP feeling @Vil10?

Any word on job @Juno231?

How are you feeling @DJmum83 have you got a treatment plan in place now? X

Lexber · 09/06/2021 21:39

I've just been online ordering something that I told OH when we have a baby I NEED to get it for our baby for my bestie for her baby and may have accidentally on purpose ordered 2.... 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️
I have loved the gruffalo since dd1 (14) was little when it first came out and both my girls grew up adoring it - I know it word for word and have shared it with many a young child over the years ❤️

I know this will sound weird but I just got a strange feeling to order 2 like a sense needing 2?!
Its official I have lost the plot!! Looks like I'm joining you @Franklydear in the sanitarium...

But look.....❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

notyetamumbuttrying · 09/06/2021 21:40

Oh god just watched the clip! 🤦🏾‍♀️
Can't believe she's engaged again for one and she's just so blasé about it, like I know they're being filmed but jeez! Side note, that was the clinic I went to for a private consultation and scan!

Haiyaa · 09/06/2021 21:46

@Minster2012 I usually buy mine from Amazon, half the price and seem legit.

@larrythelizard, @Lexber how weird, I’ve run out of data too and I never do. My husband is close to the limit too which again is not usual. Maybe some sort of error? What network are you on? I’m on EE.

Do you eat the crisps and marshmallows like a sandwich @larrythelizard? Because that’s what I have pictured and it sounds tasty!

What is it with all of us passengers and our battered vag’s this month? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 driver you need to slow down over the bumps! 🤪🤪

Minster2012 · 09/06/2021 21:47

@Franklydear ahhhhh I can visit Sunday morning with an FRER but not in the afternoon Cos im running off to the circus going to the circus

@notyetamumbuttrying click on the link!! And hoping they are implantation

@Lexber you can keep @Franklydear company!

Will definitely add those FRER to the basket I've been eating more too so it will be no doubt show the same result @larrythelizard but you are a hardcore gym bunny

OP posts:
Haiyaa · 09/06/2021 21:47

Love that @Lexber, my DD is also a big Gruffalo fan 😍

larrythelizard · 09/06/2021 21:48

Yes also EE @Haiyaa...the plot thickens...! I have 20GB a month so really don't know where it's all gone, not using my phone any differently!

And no, I'm not a complete animal, I like to eat crisps then stuff my face with marshmallows afterwards 😂

Lexber · 09/06/2021 21:53

@Haiyaa I'm O2, but it's my own fault I switched my wifi off and forgot to put it back on... mine renews 10th... TOMORROW 🎉🎉
Maybe we're just all on MN too much @larrythelizard

I only have 15gb (eldest has unlimited i think) but usually only use about 10 so downgraded from about 40gb when I renewed my contract...

notyetamumbuttrying · 09/06/2021 22:05

@Minster2012 I clicked and my summary is below ⬇️ she's still a knob basically! 😆

@larrythelizard I'm here for your crisps then marshmallows medley, love 'em both!

Franklydear · 09/06/2021 22:11

@bez91 it’s a possibly, assuming there’s need
@larrythelizard I got loads, work tomorrow, necessities shopping Friday, music school Saturday and Sunday ds eye test and play date, I’ll test next month at this rate
@Lexber another inmate

notyetamumbuttrying · 09/06/2021 22:18

Have a good chuckle at this one!!

Franklydear · 09/06/2021 22:39

@notyetamumbuttrying if I am up all night reading, it’ll be your fault

Minster2012 · 09/06/2021 22:40

@notyetamumbuttrying yep your summary very correct 🤣

@larrythelizard I dunno I quite like the sound of crispy marshmallows

@Franklydear not next month, we won't let you

Minster2012 · 09/06/2021 22:42

OMG love that thread @notyetamumbuttrying

Vil10 · 09/06/2021 22:42

@larrythelizard we're loads better Thankyou!! Sense of taste and smell is coming back slightly and I don't feel too tired anymore either!! Last day tomorrow and I'm so so happy to be going back to work and the gym on Friday!! How're you??x

@notyetamumbuttrying ahhh I hope it's implantation cramps you're having!!

@Haiyaa I'm sorry I completely missed your post earlier but look at that line!! Amazing, congratulations!!❤️

feliznavidad2 · 09/06/2021 22:44

I love that blanket @Lexber - the Gruffalo is a fave in this house too, although DS1 likes The Highway Rat too which just doesn't do it for me. 🐀 😖

Bless you @Franklydear - sounds rough. Hope it's all for a happy reason though. 🤞🏻

Gonna have a look at that @DKDK123 - have a 4yo.

Hope you feel less washed out soon @larrythelizard 😣

Haha at your yogurt, I mean, CM 👀 @Minster2012

Lovely lines @Haiyaa 😊

Good luck for Sunday @blackcurrantqueen and hope you're all feeling better by then too

Thanks all for the get well wishes, I think they've helped as feeling much better than I did this time yesterday. I seem to get at least one to two tummy bug/diarrhoea illnesses a year since I've had DS1. Grim. 🤢 Funny how OH doesn't. 🤨 And I'm very good at hand washing so who knows why. 😑

feliznavidad2 · 09/06/2021 22:46

Glad you're feeling better @Vil10 - go steady at the gym, despite my lungs not really being affected at the time by Covid, I really struggled getting running again after (albeit maybe coz I'm overweight and not especially fit.)

Clairey844 · 09/06/2021 23:05

@Haiyaa great lines, so pleased for you, I'm sneaking a congratulations in there 🎉

@Crazydoglady123 loved the scan pic-so amazing♥️♥️

@DKDK123 I think @Minster2012 deserves a little trophy for 'bus's best banger' this month 😂😂
@Minster2012 at least you don't have to worry that you've missed ovulation-you've certainly covered all bases if you do pop an egg🤣🤣

@Lexber and @Franklydear both of you girls sound like you have some promising symptoms 🤞🏻🤞🏻

X

Lexber · 09/06/2021 23:51

Let the symptom spotting commence 🤦🏽‍♀️

Laid in bed and just had a crampy lower stomach followed by what can only be described as a bubbly belly - that feeling where you don't know if your going to shit yourself or start your AF 🤣 which I described to oh much to his dismay and a reaction of "please don't shit yourself" 🤣🤣

Now feel slightly "bubbly and bloaty" if that makes sense?!
With hayfever so bad I want to rip my stinging eyes out, the roof of my mouth is on fire and I can't breathe through my blocked/snotty nose... good job it's not FW COs I'm very unsexy!! 🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤣
