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

@paintfairy mate!!! 😳 are you ok? What a nightmare!

Oh my @paintfairy! Sounds painful, what happened? You might have to use your good hand to hitchhike home 🤪 but seriously, what are you going to do? Presumably you would need someone who can drive a trailer or did the horse go separately?

@paintfairy 😬😩looks so sore how long do they say it will take to heal?

We are off to the circus this afternoon, taking one of our nephews to give MIL bit of a break as she's looking after nephews this weekend 🦁🏋🏼‍♂️🎪

@Haiyaa yes it was internal she did give me the option of trying abdominal first but honestly I've had so many internal and the pictures are so much clearer and easier when you're early, I just needed to know ASAP so opted to just go straight for internal x

@blackcurrantqueen ohhh amazing news, look at thst lovely scan!!❤️

@larrythelizard @Minster2012 @Crazydoglady123
Well the owner of the house messaged an hour before saying they'd accepted an offer 15 grand over the asking price yesterday!! And asked if we're still interested at going to look at it, but for some reason I felt relieved that they'd accepted the offer, and after really looking at the pictures it seemed a tad grotty when you stripped it back, and upstairs looked tiny!! So I think it was a blessing in disguise, obviously not meant to be, we'll find something eventually!

@Lexber @Franklydear ohhh ffs, sorry about af for both of you, sending hugs x

@paintfairy oh god!! Hope you're okay x

@notyetamumbuttrying is your test date the 17th?? I think if you can hold off definitely do, the strong line and no second guessing will be worth it x

Good god I just counted and this is cycle 18 and still no bfp! How did that happen? Anyway....

@blackcurrantqueen great news, great scan! Congratulations x

@Lexber & @Franklydear sorry af has turned up for you both 😥

@paintfairy ouch! You poor thing. Hope you are ok x

@notyetamumbuttrying you are doing so well holding out. And i think you are right to wait for solid answer, good for you! Wish i had that resolve. I've tested early(and/or often) most cycles.

Enjoy the circus @Minster2012

@paintfairy ouchhhhiesss that looks sore and painful! Hoping for a speedy recovery xx

@DKDK123 wow what a rewarding job that must be - sounds a lot tougher than my desk job at any rate! Yes I don't blame them flipping out over the mention of Covid at all! Bloody thing, my little sister has just caught it.

Congratulations @Haiyaa that is all sounding really positive 🥳 those strawberries looks amazing!!

@KiwiTTC1st fingers crossed for this bonus cycle!!!

@Crazydoglady123 that's such a hard choice. I think whatever you will end up doing will work itself out, like it sounds like it might be a bit painful in the short/medium term but then you'll love it and it will all be worth it. And if you don't go for it, something else will appear I'm sure that would be just as good and maybe better timing?

@Vil10 just LOOK at that pup he is so adorable 🥰

@Minster2012 bloody hell that is so late to eat I think I would have given up and made my own food by that point!

@polkadotpixie I've been struggling with hayfever as well, keep wanting to scratch my eyes out, it's awful

@Franklydear @Lexber sorry AF got you 🙁 there are loads of tips on this bus, you could try using preseed in fertile window?

@blackcurrantqueen yayyy for the scan!! So happy for you after all you've been through 😊

@notyetamumbuttrying I think you deserve a medal for not testing yet! So how many dpo equivalent are you now?

@paintfairy eeek what has happened?!

I've just got back from OH's family and after the worry about how to do the progesterone while I was there, only went and forgot the bloody things didn't I. So missed a dose. Hoping it's ok! Didn't test this morning as didn't fancy doing the POAS routine at OH's parents, but got a good line yesterday at 13 dpo. I'll put a warning sign as don't want to trigger anybody.

Good thing I didn't try the progesterone at OH's parents, as just got up and went downstairs and OH was like what is that wet patch? And the progesterone had actually leaked out through the liner I had on and onto my skirt - glamorous photo attached. Bloody hell. 🙈

@Amy00 😂🤣on the leakage, just do the extra dose it tonight

@notyetamumbuttrying it hurts and I keep randomly crying. But yeah I'm OK. How do you even put contact lenses in with one hand? Just so frustrating.
@Haiyaa @Amy00 horse bucked me off . Must have put my arm out as i went down. Hip is killing too. Yeah it was stressful worrying about getting back. But luckily I was able to get someone to drive over and drive it all back. I was 3 hours away though, which was the issue. I thought I was going to have to stay until today at least, but I just didn't want to be there.
@Vil10 @kaylsd @Katao thanks
@Minster2012 they didn't say. I've got to call the fracture clinic here and book an appointment so maybe they tell me?

I can still have iui with one arm, right? 🤔🤣

@Vil10 yeah it is, I'm tempted to try! Dh will be gutted I reckon as I've told him Tuesday but he'll understand me wanting to wait to be absolutely sure and not kid ourselves that it's just too early etc.
Ah shame about the house but I guess not in the same token. It's quite nice when the decision is made for you sometimes isn't it!
@Katao where you up to with investigations? We're month 21, cycle god knows what! Thanks, it's different with ivf as you know an embryo is in there and you don't want the dream to end! 🥺
@Amy00 hehe thank you, so today is 7dp5dt 7 days past 5 day transfer so 12dpo in natural ttc terms. Good to see a nice line from you! Shame about the patch 😂
@paintfairy you poor thing! Eek is iui meant to restart this month?

@blackcurrantqueen fantastic! You must be elated! So happy for you, congratulations 🥳 💕

Bloodyhell @paintfairy I hope you're ok!

@Vil10 that's a shame but you sound ok about it and sometimes it's easier when the decision has been made for you. You will find something!

So lovely and hot today, DS and I have been out this morning and DH got the new paddling pool out to dive into this afternoon. However the small one is not feeling well so we're in the lounge watching cartoons instead. Humph!

Omg @paintfairy!!! Glad you managed to get back home... Nothing worse than having to stay in... You got me worried now though about gas and air lol 🤣🤣 I deffo don't want to have epidural so was gonna try wing it on g&a if and when if ever happens 🙈 and I'm such a wuss with pain 😂

I tried to post this morning but obviously it didn't work 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Not a hope I can catch up ladies, ur all chatterboxes 🤣🤣

Currently nursing a sore tail bone/pelvis and dealing with a 4 week old is not fun at all (I fell down all the stairs when baby was 2 weeks old). Still so bloody sore and everyone I speak to says it can last for months!

Anyhow hope ur all as well as can be and I promise to try be more involved 🤦‍♀️ cos I've missed u guys ❤ xx

@Katao it's a shitter this TTC malarkey isn't it!! Keeping going lovely! I also realised it's been 16 months since I came off the pill!!x

@Amy00 lovely line!! Congratulations!!

@notyetamumbuttrying I have a very good feeling!! And good on you for waiting, even though it would be completely understandable if you didn't wait!! Exactly what I thought, it was taken out of our hands and we feel fine about it!

@bez91 definitely!! It obviously wasn't meant to be the house we're going to bring our 3 children into😂 need to calm down, I can't even get the 1 yet!!

@larrythelizard sounds like a lovely afternoon! It's been overcast all day here, I was so excited it was going to be 25 and sunny, but nope just clouds

@Catherinettc ohh what a mare!! Hope you're okay and hope baby is doing well❤️

@Vil10 all good. Watching that football match yesterday made me realise how lucky I am ❤ even with a sore arse 🤦‍♀️🤣 Albert is adorable 😍 love a puppy pic xx

@Amy00 omg. Leakage not good!
@notyetamumbuttrying beginning of next cycle. I should have ovulated by now this one. So a couple of weeks.
@Dollybird89 maybe Labour hurts less than a man swinging on your snapped wrist? 🤣 I dunno?
I had to go back to a&e as my plaster was too tight today. They helpfully told me they put a cuff on at the top of your arm to anaesthetise it. I've was like- yeah thanks, wish I'd got that. 😫

@Minster2012 you fill in the order numbers at the end once you've done the 9 months, hopefully you won't get that far tho before getting that sticky bean 🤞

@Franklydear I know, I really feel for them. And it gives a bit of an insight into their world as I know most neurotypical adults have hit periods of anxiety or frustration over covid changing things or not knowing what's happening yet thats life for many with asd on day to day basis even without covid messing things up! Hopefully things return to some form of predictable normality soon. Sorry to hear about your bfn this morning, its always hard to see even more so when your body's been messing you about pointing in a promising direction.

@Crazydoglady123 remember if you have a c section it's only 6 weeks till you can drive again, if DH is having 2 weeks paternity leave then you've only got 4 weeks to put up with. I know its a pain when you're used to being independent but for 4 weeks to get your dream house I'd say go for it. Plus there's every chance you'll be top exhausted in those early days to want to drive anywhere to go shopping anyway so milk being able to txt DH shopping lists of things to bring in on his way home or have him drive you to a 24hr supermarket at night for a change of scenery.

@haiyaa those strawberries look AMAZING

@Vil10 every time you post a photo my resolve for not getting a dog until DS is a bit older weakens. Albert is adorable 😍

@blackcurrantqueen so happy to see your wee jellybean all snuggly and safe and heart beating away, you must be breathing a sigh of relief 🥰

@Lexber sorry to hear it wasn't your month either, but being able to go on the rides at Alton Towers will hopefully soften the blow

@notyetamumbuttrying that's some willpower not testing this morning tho I can understand you wanting a clear answer with no second guessing. Keeping everything crossed for you 🤞

@paintfairy Ouch!!! 🙈 hope you got some strong painkillers to take away with you

@amy00 nice strong lines there, really hoping the progesterone works for you (if it decides to stay in and not all over your skirt 🙈). Come on sticky bean 🤞

@catherinettc oh dear not good especially not with a baby to carry about! I fell down the stairs a few years ago and remember going back to the docs about a month later in tears begging for better painkillers as I was still in agony. Can't remember what they gave me but it worked! Hope you and bubs are doing well despite the sore back

Productive weekend here, took DS out to a castle for the day and got rid of all his larger toys that he's outgrown. It was bitter sweet as we were keeping them for #2 when we thought there would be a small gap between them but obviously that gap is widening now and I can't keep putting all his things by as we're running out of space so jsut kept a few key pieces and will just need to replace the rest if a sibling comes along.

@Vil10 eek bloody hope so 😆
Glad you feel fine about it. Defo a good sign!
@Catherinettc ouchy, hope you're recovering well, that sounds tough with a 4 week old! Are your girls pitching in?
@paintfairy oh what a bummer you didn't get the proper cuff to help with the pain! I guess they wouldn't fit one after they told you that then?
@DKDK123 thank you 😊
Glad you had a productive weekend! Ah that does sound bitter sweet but there's still hope that all will work out eventually. Hard to keep hopeful when you keep being set back tho. We can only try eh ♥️

@notyetamumbuttrying to be fair everyone has been great. Especially dh he's been amazing. Baby is doing great too. Lucky that he's so young so not on his feet or too heavy etc 👍. Hope ur good ❤

Attached a wee pic of Caolan today 💙

Awwwww @Catherinettc, he is so teeny tiny 🥰🥰🥰 but seriously what is up with you and @paintfairy with these accidents! Glad to hear you are recovering well and have lots of help.

Ooooh I’m literally counting down the days for you @notyetamumbuttrying so I can only imagine how you are feeling!

@Haiyaa story of my life 🤦‍♀️🤣 always random bad luck lol. Poor @paintfairy is in a fair bit more pain than me by the looks of it though 😯 xx
