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

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

Haha you've got the beers so drink them 👍 just funny timing that you posted the beer after the backlash this week. I used to go to their pub a lot as there's one near me in the west end of Glasgow. Shame they don't seem to be nice people!

bez91 · 11/06/2021 19:02

Oooh @larrythelizard I do like an IPA - enjoy, I'll be on the booze shortly 😆 paddling pool 'action' 🍆?
You are right, it's the uncertainty. That's what DH doesn't get I think, we're ok for now age wise but for men he can sail along for 50 years in a career whereas as a woman you have to consider timings of your opportunities. I think we'll give it another 6 months then consider the private intervention if nhs pathway doesn't work out. Is it August you're 'relaxing' til still?

InkyPaper · 11/06/2021 19:03

@larrythelizard haha thanks! No, it's not far away at all! And it's a video appointment so I don't have to faff around with getting to the hospital either 😄

@DKDK123 that would be the dream! Not gonna lie, a 35 day cycle is much easier to deal with than an 87 day one 😄 I'm glad your work were so lovely about everything, look after yourself ❤️

@Vil10 turns out they were well and truly boiled as AF has turned up properly now 😂 it's definitely not just you and I definitely check Rightmove daily 🤣 you're doing brilliantly with the weight loss

@Franklydear it does suck, but it is what it is

@bez91 omg I can't believe they wouldn't refer you! Glad the private consultation went well and that your GP did a U-turn - too right!

@Minster2012 wow your nails look amazing! 🤩

AF is absolutely kicking my arse so I'm gonna go hibernate, enjoy your evenings everyone!

Vil10 · 11/06/2021 19:28

@notyetamumbuttrying it would be a bloody dream if the month we half try half don't it works!!

@Kirky658 exactly, I think with having lots on during the next few months it'll take our mind off if and it'll be a lovely surprise if we were to get our BFP!

@Franklydear not my best poas😂😂

@Lexber no your best poas either😂 it might still be implantation! Give your body a few more days then retest x

@Minster2012 nope no condoms since at finished, we both hate them too so good job really!! Hahaha if only not trying was the key to the job!!

@larrythelizard @Minster2012 the rumours are true, slinking down the stairs in no knickers OR bra, haven't had a bra on all of isolation, instigating lots of boob fondling!

@bez91 I honestly have no idea how it's so low, I thought maybe with being ill it's decreased instead of increased?? Good idea!! All in all then a good and positive appointment!! So glad both your results were fine, but I do get you kinda preferring something to be wrong so it could be fixed! But it is good news still x

@InkyPaper Fuck sake, steamed spermies, dam you!! Sorry for her showing up! It's an addiction isn't it! Thankyou! Hope you're feeling better tomorrow x

Katao · 11/06/2021 19:29

@Amy00 🤞🤞🤞 hoping for you that progesterone does the trick. You deserve a happy ending after all you've been through.

@Juno231 sounds good on the job front but complicated balancing all the whst ifs!

@Franklydear sorry about the bfn

@Lexber things sound hopeful. When are you testing?

@notyetamumbuttrying I can't answer your question but I'm feeling excited for you 😀

Nought to report here. Fertile week. This cycle
seems to be dragging and haven't even got to the tww yet 😅

Kirky658 · 11/06/2021 19:38

@bez91 sounds like the appt was very useful, glad it went well.
@vil10 you go girl
@larrythelizard don't worry I'm drinking brewdog nanny state 😉🤗

larrythelizard · 11/06/2021 19:56

Haha not like that @bez91 we live on a (smallish) new build estate and are pretty overlooked! Depends when FW falls in August as we're away with family for a week and also for a weekend away with some friends, might be easiest to restart it all again in Sept, we'll see.

Brazen @Vil10 (I like your style 😉)

DH is on the nanny state @Kirky658 he doesn't really drink anymore!

ARGH I just saw an invite for a first interview for the BIG external job on Weds. Fuck!! I'm all in a bit of a tizz now - not going to do any prep this weekend but my brain is spinning!

Kirky658 · 11/06/2021 19:59

@larrythelizard he's got great taste! I've got the Punk AF as well which is decent but I prefer the nanny state.

Omg it's all happening on the job front for you and @juno231 😘

Franklydear · 11/06/2021 20:02

New jobs, new houses, new babies, were rocking it, shopping delivered, burgers eaten, I’ll be going to bed in a minute cos I am done #fridaydefinetlydone

larrythelizard · 11/06/2021 20:03

I still think it's a long shot @Kirky658 (I'm still taken aback they want to even interview me) so I'm not getting ahead of myself but if I'm going to do it, then I'll do it properly and prep accordingly

Vil10 · 11/06/2021 21:05

Oh god girls, disaster talking of houses, a friend sent me a screen recording of a house for sale that a woman has put on Facebook buy and sell as they're selling privately because they didn't know if they'd get much interest, no pictures of the outside but it's in a lovely area, amazing garden and views, lovely family home, open plan, the works, I messaged the woman and organised a viewing for Sunday. Another friend of mine used to live in the area so I messaged her asking if she knew where this house was going off the post code, she then replied telling me she was going to see the same house tomorrow, fantastic🙂

Katao · 11/06/2021 21:16

Sorry I posted earlier before I was caught up and now feel like an insensitive twat on about this cycle dragging after reading your post Dollybird. Hugs to you girl x

@vil10 welcome back to ttc. That's pretty much what we've been doing for the last 6 months, just dtd and pray for the best! Tracking is too stressful. Shame about the house competition 😕

Tornado2Inc · 11/06/2021 21:25

People!!!!!

TWINS?! Oh f**k! 😱 avoiding those 🧀🍆& banging in camper vans; it’s TTC bus 42
Tornado2Inc · 11/06/2021 21:26

This one is visible with the naked eye!!!

2020mission · 11/06/2021 21:29

@Tornado2Inc I see it! 🎉

Haiyaa · 11/06/2021 21:29

FUUUUUUUCK! Just catching up but I definitely see that @Tornado2Inc! Congratulations!!!!!

And congratulations to you too @Amy00, hoping that this is a sticky one for you 🌈

Welcome back to the Dark Side @Vil10 😈 house sounds like a bit of a dilemma 🤔

Sounds like your appointments were positive overall @bez91, hopefully they won’t keep you waiting too long.

Probably missed loads so going to have a scroll back…

Amy00 · 11/06/2021 21:33

@Minster2012 3 pessaries at once! That's good to know that it is fine to do them whenever works 👍 hope your headache is better by now! Loving the nails

@Franklydear I also did a test this afternoon on 2 hour hold and BFN - don't know what I was expecting after a mega faint line this morning, perhaps that I had defied science and surged with HCG suddenly. Morale of the story being - don't test in the afternoon! @Lexber this goes for you too!!

@Vil10 that's so hard to decide on your big trip, it would be the trip of a lifetime! But also as you say just the uncertainty of Covid, travel restrictions and money is a lot. Maybe this will be the month though and decision will be taken out of your hands! Eek on the house viewing! Hopefully only one of you will like it?!

Thanks @Kirky658 and @Katao and @Haiyaa

@larrythelizard that's exciting for the interview!! Good luck!!

@Tornado2Inc that is 100% a BFP - congratulations!! How are you feeling?

Katao · 11/06/2021 21:35

Eeek Tornado that's a line! 🥳

And congrats cloclo on your engagement 🥳

notyetamumbuttrying · 11/06/2021 21:37

@Vil10 oh gawd!! 🥴 how bloody annoying mate!!
@Katao hehe thank you hun! Yay to FW, here's hoping everything speeds up from here now 🤞🏾
@Tornado2Inc that's more like it!! 👏🏾

blackcurrantqueen · 11/06/2021 21:48

Loving the new nails @Minster2012 😍

@notyetamumbuttrying I think the progesterone has made me feel pretty crap in all honesty, even now I'm putting any symptom down to it as until Sunday I darent possibly believe 😂

@larrythelizard your @Vil10 slinking down the stairs proper made me laugh 😂😂

@bez91 glad the private clinic appt was better than your gp discussion, one interesting thing I've learnt is that women that go through the recurrent miscarriage clinic a lot of the evidence for some reason is that they tend to do better after even without any physical input and just the support seems to help, so maybe consider the counselling (I hope that makes sense I can't figure out how to word it lol)

@Tornado2Inc that is a superrrr obvious line 😭🤞🏼🥰 ahhh stick little baby stick!!!!

Kirky658 · 11/06/2021 21:51

@tornado2inc eeeee exciting ❤️🤗

larrythelizard · 11/06/2021 21:56

YES @Tornado2Inc!!! So pleased! Now little embryo, STICK!!!!

Juno231 · 11/06/2021 21:57

@Tornado2Inc yeeeeees finally!! We can see it 👀

@larrythelizard ooh best of luck on the interview!

So in my line of work they often demand to know what salary you're on currently (and they verify it with background checks) and that's exactly what they asked for today. They wanted the last three years worth of salaries and bonuses and then casually asked me to state what I'd like from them. I HATE this kind of stuff. It just means that if you're underpaid it's hard to justify an jump up in salary and you just know it affects women more than men... Fuck it though I asked for the top end of their range which is a big jump for me 😅

@Minster2012 how is the headache?

@notyetamumbuttrying bucks I'm so jealous! My OH is the only reason we're still in London, I'd love a bit of countryside right now. I'm also stupidly invested in you testing so I'm super thrilled that you're feeling nauseous!

Haiyaa · 11/06/2021 22:11

Yeah I hate that too @Juno231 and definitely affects women more than men as we sell ourselves short so glad you asked for top dollar!

@clolo congrats on the engagement!

Keeping my fingers crossed for you @notyetamumbuttrying, all sounding very good!

@Franklydear, @Lexber tut tut, shame on you… come on you’re better than this, at least wait for a decent hold! 😂 still time for some more BFP’s!

Also anyone trying more natural/eco friendly products, I have just switched my deodorant to “Wild”, it’s pretty good, no aluminium, vegan, no plastic, smells lush. You get the reusable case and refills, if anyone is interested I have 3 codes for the case to be free (normally £7).

larrythelizard · 11/06/2021 22:17

Oh god @Juno231 I hope they don't ask me that as it's near enough a 3 x increase on my basic 😂

@Haiyaa how good is 'pretty good'?? Im clearly quite a sweaty person as only the sure maximum expensive stuff seems to work for me...?
