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

@Vil10 glad you're feeling a little better! I'm obsessed with Rightmove too! I spend ages dreaming about houses we could move to - DH is dreaming of having our own pool one day 😂

I'm glad you're feeling better too @feliznavidad2 stomach bugs are horrible

@Lexber glad your OH was ok. Some of those symptoms sound pretty positive! You aren't out yet - keeping fingers crossed for you that it's not AF. Hope your head's OK!!

I've spent the entire day (week) symptom spotting: nausea, heartburn, tiredness, crazy hormonal, want to eat everything in sight... I was getting super hopeful until DH reminded me that though we DTD a lot during what I think was FW, he was also spending most of his time in a hot tub so, in his words "boiled my boys!" 😂 So it's almost definitely wishful thinking on my part 😂

@Minster2012 did the house survey go OK??

@Juno231 ooh the 17ths not too long to wait for the appointment at least 😊

Glad your clinical mentor was cool with everything @Haiyaa

@larrythelizard ooh yes, a lottery win would definitely do the trick!

@Franklydear hope you're OK, those symptoms do not sound fun

@blackcurrantqueen woooop! Glad your DD is covid negative! Hope the tablets help and don't make you too tired

@Tornado2Inc hurray for peeing on things again 😂

2020mission · 10/06/2021 19:41

@Vil10 good to hear another celeb (Stacey Solomon) speaking up about TTC struggles. Have to admit I'm surprised though as she's got 3 boys already so you just assume she wouldn't have trouble. She really wants her girl eh 😅 also good to hear you're feeling better now!

@Juno231 glad you've got confirmation on your next appointment. Any idea what they will do this time?

Can I add my first scan to the list of things happening on the 17th too? 😆 Big day for a lot of us!

@Minster2012 I had those easy@home cheap test strips they are decent 👍

@Lexber you've got me craving watermelon now too 🍉 even though it's mostly water haha I went through a phase of eating cucumbers recently too. All the water filled foods!

Franklydear · 10/06/2021 19:47

@InkyPaperits just a flare up, they are never fun, I don’t normally have the nausea with it, so hoping there’s a reason for it

larrythelizard · 10/06/2021 19:52

If I win the lottery I will happily share @Minster2012!

Glad DD is covid negative @blackcurrantqueen is there anyway your DH can do the 5am starts for a bit until you're feeling better?

😂😂😂 @InkyPaper maybe that's the answer for you?! When's AF?

Not long until then @2020mission!

Banana bread always counts as a fruit option @Franklydear

I have deliberately eaten less but not logged any calories and am now ravenous (even after dinner) but no idea how much more I should eat...need to get back into religiously logging on my fitness pal!

bez91 · 10/06/2021 20:04

In fact @larrythelizard you are asking for too much..... Lottery win would mean no need for new job unless you won a free lucky dip 🙈 which is always worse than completely loosing IMO, especially when you scan a ticket on the app and it makes that lovely little winning jingle then its just deflating!

@Franklydear banana bread = fruit -
Yeah why not!

DH needs to up his game on the 🍆 he's been on the tools this week outdoors so he's zonked (probably sunstroke) but need bonk, plus feeling slightly nervous about meeting with consultant tomorrow so need the distraction, Imagining the worst and hoping for the best 😬

Juno231 · 10/06/2021 20:05

Did I mention that today is the start of FW and I forgot to bring opks with me to work? Well I used one on diluted evening wee and it's a good thing I did as it's pretty much a positive! Oops we've had no BD this week so far 😅

@Minster2012 @Franklydear I think I'm finding it easier than calorie restriction atm! The hunger pangs aren't there and I get to have a nice big meal per day guilt free instead of 2-3 piddly ones that leave me hungry. Let's see how long it lasts though...

@blackcurrantqueen yay for negative covid tests!

TWINS?! Oh f**k! 😱 avoiding those 🧀🍆& banging in camper vans; it’s TTC bus 42
larrythelizard · 10/06/2021 20:06

Yeah you're right @bez91 so it's either the lottery win OR the big external job AND the baby then!

What time is your appt tomorrow?

larrythelizard · 10/06/2021 20:06

Oooh that is a beaut @Juno231 get on it!!

Lexber · 10/06/2021 20:23

Well looks like no AF here. As nothing more.

Just ate the whole tub of the Choc ice cream - good job it's low cal - and sat sobbing at the tv! 🤣🤣
Hormonal or what?!

Still feeling absolutely shattered and fell asleep on the sofa about 4.30/5 for an hour kids just left me to it bless them.

Think I'm gonna have a nice soak in the bath and early night.

Minster2012 · 10/06/2021 20:24

Lightening boobs @Franklydear not lightening fanny! But either way all seemingly positive 🤞🏻

@blackcurrantqueen yesssss for no Covid

@Vil10 freeeeeeeedoooommmm 💃🏼👯‍♀️yesssss and are you feeling better?

@bez91 def research for property development, do you want to do up & sell on? Yes for appointment tomorrow

@Tornado2Inc can't believe you are being so restrained 🤣don't worry you are right on time!!

@InkyPaper he's boiled his balls?! How dare he! And you can still be hopeful. Without hope why are we here?? The house survey was great, in his words A+ no problems so we are very happy. Things can still go wrong of course, a sale has fallen through in the village right just before completion 😬but it's a step isn't it

@Juno231 get on it girl 🍆🍆🍆🍆so it's just one big meal per day? Gosh I'm afraid with my medications I can't fast I'm afraid, get migraines & low cortisol 😩

@2020mission wow more to add! Go 17th!

@larrythelizard see like @bez91 said
you just need to ask for the lottery win & the baby! Simples

Who was it that said about wanting to scratch their eyes out?! That's me this afternoon it's awful, my hay fever has been gone til now (especially as I'm not taking antihistamines) now I want to scratch my eyes out 😩

OP posts:
Lexber · 10/06/2021 20:27

@Minster2012 that would have been me. Swapped from drs prescription to cheap tablets this morning and I've been good today... Altho all the crying I seem to be doing is washing them out for me 🤣🤣🤣

bez91 · 10/06/2021 20:33

@Minster2012 yes renovate and sell, I work in housing albeit for a social landlord so I've got good grounding it's just the financial side of things to figure out. Yayyy another step forward on the house 🥳 it's all just a slow frustrating process I find! arrgh on the eyes though, my hay fever hasn't set in yet but my eyes were sticky all last night when I was waking up

Blazer @Juno231 🍆👌🏼 well done on the fasting

@InkyPaper hope DHs balls weren't boiled 🔥 😂

Haiyaa · 10/06/2021 20:33

Lucky you caught that one @Juno231! Did you say that you usually ovulate on the same day as positive OPK? Better get bonking 🍆🍆🍆 I feel so suspicious when I’m POAS at work trying to catch ovulation 😂😂😂

I was doing time restricted eating obviously relaxed that a bit now so not full days fasting but only eating in an 8-10 hour window each day and logging what I eat. Honestly I barely felt hungry after a few days. It’s good for all sorts not just weight loss. I would definitely do it again and even now whilst I’m feeling pretty ok I’m trying to limit it to 10-12 hours but with DD my nausea was mostly relieved by constant snacking so that may still be ahead!

Great news on the covid test @blackcurrantqueen, would have been shit to have to move your appointment.

@bez91 hope DH wakes up enough to provide you with some “distraction” 😉

So it’s going to be a big news day on the 17th? At this rate I expect we’ll be on a new bus 😂

Haiyaa · 10/06/2021 20:36

@InkyPaper think of it more as an extreme selection process. The hot water killed off the duff ones leaving champions to get that egg! 💪

It's ok @bez91 when @larrythelizard wins the lottery maybe we could each buy a house to do up?? I've always wanted to do it too but never have, though we've bid on 2 property auctions but for houses for us to live in

@Lexber maybe I should have a good cry then! My contacts bring in today stop me a bit but you just find more creative ways to scratch them 🤣

@InkyPaper I love that description from @Haiyaa 🙌🏻🤞🏻

Minster2012 · 10/06/2021 21:03

DH tonight "so is ovulation over?" Well mate, who the f knows! Me : "Either yep it has or it's not gonna turn up so if you want another night off before tomorrow then that's fine." DH, "we'll see how we feel later" 🤣
Least he's taking an interest! Not sure he wanted to go into the details of Greek yoghurt CM 🤣

So I had my pre-evening drinks IC, and then this came up. Not holding my breath as I'm 6dpo (max 7dpo), but this is the uglies evap I've ever seen. All out of wee-wee to retest. Is anyone else seeing this?
