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

🤞🏻💓😘🥳🙌🏻

@larrythelizard I’ve only used it for a couple of days so will report back when I’ve used it for longer but it’s holding up against this heat which is more than I expected!

@Katao definitely the best way for us at the minute I think! I think I know pretty much when I ovulate and stuff anyway with my CM, cramps etc!

@Tornado2Inc ahhhh it's there it's there!! Now stick little bean!!

@Haiyaa hahaha I missed it!! Hmm big dilemma, very annoying!!

@Amy00 it really would but I just can't see it happening in the way we would want it to in the next year or two, and we've come so far with TTC, if I was to fall pregnant that would trump any trip!! Well we both seem to like it from the pictures but their house isn't even on the market yet so I'd say we're in a better position!

@notyetamumbuttrying very annoying, and bloody typical that it's the first one we've seen in ages that we've properly liked that hasn't gone off the market in 0.5 seconds😂 you're feeling nauseous??🤩

@blackcurrantqueen @larrythelizard hahahaha me too, bloody good line that one😂

@Juno231 yes girl!! You are worth the top end salary!!!

@Tornado2Inc That's definitely a line, congratulations!

I'm on CD13 today, no positive OPK yet but got some 🍆 earlier and we're going to DTD every other day to make sure we're covered. I'm taking vitamin B6 and vitamin C to try and lengthen my luteal phase so hopefully it helps as last cycle it was pathetic

@vil10 same. I get very obvious cramps. My cycles aren't very regular though and i definitely don't ovulate every cycle so I don't need a whole bunch of blank opks rubbing it in my face 😂

@Juno231 you go girl, and ask your worth, confident woman
@Vil10 I find cm and cramps pretty accurate, the rest are ways to torture myself, on the house do the viewings and decide on your circumstances, hope everything goes smoothly and no arguments

Cd 26 here and nothing happening, dh keeps asking has af arrived? You think I would tell you, don’t you? I’ve already peed today to avoid temptation

@Tornado2Inc congrats, you sneaky, didn’t know you were due

I’ve started watching the crown, see what all the fuzz is about?

Strong woman getting a FMU out of the way without being tempted to put it elsewhere @Franklydear! I quite liked the crown but it's fairly gentle - my MIL thought it was boring and slow!

@Franklydear love the Crown and I'm impressed your cycle is this long this time!

@vil10 so happy to have you back in the land of TTC

I fell out with OH last night as he wasnt in the mood for BD and it was ovulation day 😒. Means I've only managed O-1 this time - so much for the doc asking us to try really hard 😅. Not sure I can be bothered to talk to him this morning either!

Oh they're so annoying aren't they @Juno231. Doing it today won't be a massive loss if you can bring yourself to make up. Guess that's one advantage for me of not ovulating until c. Day 21...plenty of time to fall out and make friends again!

@Juno231 so annoying! Though as @larrythelizard said, it's not a massive loss if you do it today (grumpy sex!)

@Franklydear I really enjoyed The Crown. Especially if you are into cinematography, plenty of moments to appreciate!

So did an FMU test this morning and, after last night's glorious fat line (it's fat in my books!) I'm back to having a squinter. Bleh. Will try get my hands on some more FRER as the cheapies I have are not as sensitive, though that'll be a task and a half as we're currently staying with my in-laws in the countryside.

Maybe I'm an evening-lines-kinda-gal? Or it's a chemical again, in which case I want to confirm, get it over with and carry on with the rest of my TWW stuffing my face with oysters 🙄

@juno231 men!!!!

@Franklydear I watched a few episodes when wfh beginning of this year but it was early in my pregnancy and always fell asleep but did enjoy it up until I nodded off !

@lucyrp @Tornado2Inc @Juno231 I quite like it, plus I didn’t grow up here so it’s all news to me
@larrythelizard no testing today, promise!
@juno I know, day 26 and custard cm,...no pms either, if anything I feel better, oh and no need to make up with dh, just use him

Ahh @Juno231 that's annoying especially when ov creeps up on you. My DH was annoyed last month that he thought we may have missed it and peaked too soon (his fault for falling asleep early every damn night) I don't think we did but I did play on it a bit agreeing 🙈 it does only take once though. Hope you manage to make up 🍆

@Tornado2Inc that's annoying! Could you possibly bear to leave it another 48 hours before retesting? 🙈😆

Morning ladies!

Rooting for you this cycle @Franklydear!

How many dpo are you again @Tornado2Inc and was it a frer test this morn?

Everything crossed for the job @Juno231 @larrythelizard 🤞

My DS had an accident playing football at school yesterday (dived for the ball and got kicked in the back of the head) which resulted in sitting in a&e all afternoon. All is fine with him, lucky he'd perked up between being triaged and seeing the paediatric nurse. Annoyingly hadn't had my lunch when the school called and wasn't till 4pm we got out of the hospital.

Then had a row with the OH last night as he's seen a property for sale which we both know is the perfect property and has just over 2 acres so would be our forever home. Downside is it has a shitty, old 3 bed bungalow on it atm (planning for a 4 bed house which we'd build) but I said to him it's the wrong timing as we'd have to live in the shitty old bungalow when I've just given birth. It'll be so cramped and there's no accessible shops in walking distance as the footpath next to road you couldn't fit a double pram on. I feel like I need to post this on the AIBU threads 🙈 He's never experienced having a baby before and having twins is going to be hard enough without me being in a secluded location, on top of each other, in the middle of winter. I left it with him last night that I'm happy to go for it but he'll have to find me somewhere to rent for a few months 😂

@Crazydoglady123 I am of the mentality of it will work out, go for it if it’ll be a forever home, a catholic saying in the same wavelength, god will provide, also twiiiiiiins!

Oh no @Juno231, they sure know how to pick their timing don’t they?! 😩 As @larrythelizard says maybe if you make up and get some 🍆 ASAP it can still catch that egg?

Well done on keeping strong @Franklydear! When will you test? Tomorrow?

@Tornado2Inc, was it a cheapie for this morning’s squinter then? Some people do just get better results in the evening. You can keep your oysters though! 🦪 🤢

Got my 2-3 on the digital today which I am relieved about as it took a fair while last time. My cheapie was also much darker than I ever got with last time. With the super early (8dpo) bfp, slow progression and terrible back pain (I mean worse than any period pain) it has me wondering if my last could have been ectopic and resolved itself naturally? Does that happen? Would a midwife take me seriously? I also had right shoulder pain but I occasionally suffer that anyway so didn’t think too much of it at the time. Sorry if this is bothering anyone but I want to try and get over 6 weeks before heading over to the graduate bus 🥺.

@DKDK123

The 17th is sounding like a great day for so many on the bus 😁

@Minster2012 remember to sign up to the 9 month guarantee on the premom app now that you've bought easy@home tests. Not that we still want you ttc in 9 months but if you haven't gotten pregnant by then they'll refund you any you've bought from their range (ovulation tests, pregnancy tests or basal thermometers) you just type in your amazon order number and they refund it all back to your amazon account. I got about £80 back I think it was (I'd bought the thermometer too so that bumped the price up). It's no substitute for a baby but if it's something your buying anyways it's nice to get some money back to soften the blow if you're still trying!

@franklydear I really hope your body isn't being a tease I'm getting so excited with your symptoms and really hoping this is it for you.

@Juno231 just as well you did an opk when you did! It only takes one swimmer 🤞 Great news on the interview recall too and clinic appointment soon, maybe this is your time when things will start to go your way 😁

@clolo I'm not on Insta so missed your engagement but saw from the posts on here, congratulations 🥳

@lexber hoping its implantation spotting 🤞

@InkyPaper AF sucks but great news on the shorter cycle maybe your body is going to start playing ball now!

@Amy00 a tentative congratulations. I've been in a similar boat to you only mine aren't making it to the 6 weeks so I know how scared you'll be to get your hopes up. Keeping everything crossed for you that the progesterone works and sending lots of positive vibes for a sticky bean your way 🤞 Don't feel bad about the wine, I was doing tequila shots the night before I got a bfp with DS and felt so guilty and terrified it'd do damage but after researching they get nothing from you that early as the placenta hadn't formed yet so don't worry you're alright with your wine!

Not a lot to report here, FW but have only DTD once so far, part of me wants to just leave it this month to fully mentally heal as that last one did really take its toll more than any of the others and don't know if I'm ready to go through it again if we caught this month. I've been focusing on just staying calm as poss. Listening to relaxing music doing breathing exercises, yoga and look at the drop in my RHR so it's definitely working as it's the lowest it's been in about a year 😊 Also had a big chat with my boss and the one above her as well who unofficially said to me next time I fall pregnant if I want to think about having time off in the early stages to see if it helps get passed the 6 week mark then I can as they know how stressful the job can be (we need to deal with violent behaviour quite regularly so your adrenaline is constantly going) and want to do all that they can to help. I wish I had confided in them long long ago as they have been so amazingly supportive.

I did sign up for their 9-cycle money-back guarantee.:) I am trying the 4th month. They also offer a free consultation for those in the US and Canada after getting 6 valid green cycles. Hopefully we could get pregnant with all those useful tips after 9 months. Otherwise, as you @Minster2012 said, a refund could ease my pain

@Crazydoglady123 do you have any relatives nearby that you could escape to when you are fed up of the bungalow? It’s a pain but for a “perfect, forever home” it might be worth a few months of living on top of each other…. How exciting! You feeling ok or are the twins kicking your butt?

@Haiyaa, yes, tomorrow first real test, I got 4 frers and a bunch of cheapies, and a digital for a week later, dh wants to see the 3+ sign for his peace of mind,
You know what, it took really long to show the last one, and I felt lightheaded and never got further than the 1-2 weeks on the digi, I also wondered if it could have been an ectopic, I guess will never know

Yes that would make me wonder too @Franklydear… seems like you are certainly prepared for some serious P’ing OAS 🤣🤣🤣🤣 keeping everything crossed for you!

@Franklydear 🤞🤞🤞

@Haiyaa no, it was frer 😒 Maybe everything is ok, but the bean is going to be a vampire...? Who knows. Will test again in the evening.
Ectopic would not resolve itself naturally, and it would get worse and worse. Apparently shoulder tip pain is a pretty reliable symptom. I remember having horrible cramps, especially in my hips/upper leg area at around 5-6 weeks with DD but it then just went away and everything was fine. Oh, not to mention there was spotting involved!

@Crazydoglady123 im 9dpo today and yes, it was FRER. Nowhere near as visible as the last night's line. Regarding the house, renting is actually a very good idea for a temp solution! Wouldn't cross my mind!

@bez91 leave it for 48 hours?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! The best I can do is compare pictures 48 hours appart - if I can find the right ones in the sea of those taken in between 😂

@Tornado2Inc that’s good to know about the ectopic, stop armchair diagnosing, but you need to chill, giiirl (fully expecting it to get back to me when I am testing even after af)

Missed so much last night @Tornado2Inc amazing!!!! Congratulations that's 100% there 🙌🏻🥳🎉🥰

And annoying for you @Vil10 on the house 🙄

Will catch up now
