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

@notyetamumbuttrying Nope! The thing is, we are normally very sexually active throughout the cycle (every 2-3 days, sometimes daily, except during periods), so I didn't want to put pressure on him. Not like it would change anything. Obviously, he knew we were hot having any protection. He even asked me back in Feb why it's taking that long (with our DD, it was exactly 365 days "door to door") and was worried it was due to us having had COVID. I then told him not to worry, I have had CO at that point already, told him about it, told him it's normal to have those, and that it's a proof that everything down there works as it should. But very glad he was happy (as the timing is not ideal, us due to start the whole property hunt and all)

Tornado2Inc · 14/06/2021 10:54

@Juno231 nah, I symptom spot as a hobby, not an obsession 😂

Tornado2Inc · 14/06/2021 10:56

@Juno231 I know! I was very surprised it prefers BBT over LH scores! Very bizarre.

notyetamumbuttrying · 14/06/2021 11:03

@Tornado2Inc oh I see, that makes sense. I'm glad he was pleased! 😊

larrythelizard · 14/06/2021 11:09

Oh no @notyetamumbuttrying could just be burrowing sensations?! Something getting comfy?!

I keep wondering if my boobs might be a bit sore and also random crampy/bloatiness @Minster2012. But it is all bollocks....! (Repeat to myself might believe it!)

bez91 · 14/06/2021 11:12

@notyetamumbuttrying things are good thank you, I have so much more chill this month not tracking 🥳 Wednesday then are you going for?

@Juno231 I think if things don't go to plan with the job (which I'm sure they will!) you should definitely speak to FF, they would deffo employ you 😆 on the job front when is the next/last interview?

@Tornado2Inc that's fab! Yayy and registered with midwife team too 🥳
Kudos for not giving much away whilst TTC to DH. I don't tell DH everything but he knows how stressed I get so I perhaps tell him more than I should!

@larrythelizard hope you're not waiting too long for results!

Day off and chilled one this morning although I should be doing stuff 🤦🏼‍♀️ got to subfloor a bedroom before carpet getting laid Friday and we just didn't get chance over the weekend so trying today with child in tow🤦🏼‍♀️ also injured my knee big time exercising so it'll all be good fun!

larrythelizard · 14/06/2021 11:14

I wish I was as cool and collected as you @Tornado2Inc! Pleased your DH is pleased mine is kind of similar in that I don't really tell him anything (he can't handle the pressure)!

notyetamumbuttrying · 14/06/2021 11:22

@larrythelizard yeah who knows! Gonna keep running to the loo #knickerwatch! Defo all bollocks babes, I hate this all so much!
@bez91 good to hear! Yeah maybe weds, thurs is OTD.
Wow sounds like a full on day ahead for you then. Hope you're knee gets better soon! 💐

notyetamumbuttrying · 14/06/2021 11:22

Your*

Tornado2Inc · 14/06/2021 11:26

@bez91 @larrythelizard my DH is a delicate creature, bless him 😂 I remember me telling him during my 1st pregnancy not to tell people that early as it's not a done deal yet, and he almost got upset mad told me not to say things like that and that everything will be fine 😂

Minster2012 · 14/06/2021 11:32

@Tornado2Inc that's so good with DH then and he has obviously paid a bit of attention!

@notyetamumbuttrying I don't think they are bad signs! I had a heavy foof feeling & twinges when I got my BFP 🤞🏻

@feliznavidad2 well I think @Tornado2Inc has shown us that early implantation can def happen so 🙌🏻

@Juno231 "in BBTs defence" 😂love that

@larrythelizard I keep poking my boobs, and def nothing to report! We are all the same 😂it's v early

@bez91 how did you actually injure your knee? It looks super sore

After the small red blood spots last night (errrr they were actually in the fertil-lili cup 🤣)which I just shoved up for good measure after lake spermo so I could get up there's been nothing today. So I'm also being fucked around. Big cramps last night. But it's CD30 so def more like af incoming

@Franklydear you ok?

Somatronic · 14/06/2021 11:37

Morning all.

Sorry to see the injuries and happy to see some cute babies here over the weekend!

I went off my healthy eating regime this weekend and today I have a hangover which is not ideal but it's not too bad. Hope I didn't do too much damage to my waistline over the weekend!

Had day 21 bloods done this morning. The nurse groaned when she saw me arriving because my veins are the stuff of nightmares but miraculously she found my seemingly only working arm vein immediately. Probably because the weather is warm.

Hopefully the bloods will be OK and will show that I can ovulate without Clomid. Getting updated PCOS bloods done too so that'll be interesting.

larrythelizard · 14/06/2021 11:48

It was only a weekend @Somatronic I'm sure it can be rescued (I had almost 6 months off whoops!!). 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 for good day 21 bloods.

@Minster2012 at the very least AF incoming at day30 just shows the MC didn't fuck your body up too much. Obv I hope you've caught another egg though!

I enjoyed @Juno231 the chart queen sticking up for BBT 😂

Oh good are you going to do this week's #knickerwatch @notyetamumbuttrying?!

Saw your insta @bez91 that looks really sore, how did you do that?! Day off with child is not the same as an actual day off!

bez91 · 14/06/2021 12:14

@Somatronic everyone deserves a weekend off. Hope you enjoyed and fingers crossed a little popped eggy shows up on blood results

Minster2012 @larrythelizard I get to boob fondling stage several times a day at that point in my cycle, you're not alone 😂 I did a HIIT workout Friday and Saturday, pretty heavy on the knees; squats that kind of thing. Felt nothing more than a little twinge at the time, felt a bit funny yesterday but no bruise then couldn't bend my knee to get out of bed this morning 🤦🏼‍♀️

larrythelizard · 14/06/2021 12:31

The problem I've got is that I still feel like I was hit by a bus from last week's exercise so sore boobs could be gym related, period related, or HCG related @bez91 @Minster2012 or alternatively all in my head!!

I guess getting out of the gym this morning was no bad thing really...hoping to get there for the 9am class tomorrow 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Get something cold on your knee when you get a chance @bez91

paintfairy · 14/06/2021 12:32

Mumsnet is rubbish to type on usually so I'm struggling with 1 hand. 🤬
@Juno231 I think I'm about the same as you ovulation wise. I've had no spotting though this cycle yet.
@Catherinettc falling on your tail bone hurts a lot! I know that. 🤣 Worst thing ever not being able to sit comfortably.
@Dollybird89 men are so last minute. Mine does things like that and then gets annoyed when things are full. I'm like- but that's your fault? Not theirs. 🙄
@Kirky658 brothers are selfish. My mum usually sides with mine too.

notyetamumbuttrying · 14/06/2021 12:34

@Minster2012 ooh interesting!!
Have you done a test btw?
@Somatronic good going at the clinic today! Hope you survive the hangover!
@larrythelizard I'm defo doing this weeks #knickerwatch!!
@bez91 sounds so sore mate!! Hope you heal soon ♥️
@paintfairy hope you've got some decent painkillers today? X

paintfairy · 14/06/2021 12:39

@notyetamumbuttrying just paracetamol and ibuprofen! They don't give you anything.
I hope you are doing OK?

Kirky658 · 14/06/2021 12:43

@juno231 I can't figure you out on insta either, that's if I have got you, not sure who's who most of the time except @tornado2inc 🤣😉

Minster2012 · 14/06/2021 12:48

@notyetamumbuttrying no I've not tested, I might do later on in the week if nothing more but atm just waiting it out on knickerwatch too (I've got white pants on so I can see anything more!) and got pads/tampons with me just in case 🤣

@bez91i hate things like that where you think it's ok then boom it takes you out a day or so later 🙄

@Somatronic everything crossed for the progesterone bloods showing the right answer! 🤞🏻& what are the pcos bloods going to test for?

@larrythelizard yeah that's what I thought if I can have a normal cycle length it would make me feel a bit better & that it's not too messed up. It's true the boobs could be exercise/nothing but we gotta hope!

@paintfairy I did think if that was your typing arm it wouldn't be good! Only paracetamol & ivruprofen 😱

notyetamumbuttrying · 14/06/2021 12:54

@paintfairy sounds like me after my lap! Hope they're taking the edge off. I'm ok, still in two minds about what to do and googling all sorts to put me off or persuade me 🤪

@Minster2012 knicker watch twins 👯‍♀️ you're very prepared, I like it! 😜

Tornado2Inc · 14/06/2021 12:55

@Kirky658 consistency (read-spam!) is the key, it seems 😂

Catherinettc · 14/06/2021 12:59

@paintfairy I think we need seats together on the bus I'm sure @Minster2012 can sort us out with comfy ones, wrapped in bubble wrap and a rubber ring for me r
to sit on 🤣🤣 xx

Somatronic · 14/06/2021 13:41

Thanks for the nice comments ladies.

@Minster2012 she's testing for male hormones - androgens, testosterone etc so I presume they're because I have PCOS rather than being standard TTC tests.

I presume they'll be higher than normal as I have had unpleasant symptoms since I came off the contraceptive pill unfortunately.

Katao · 14/06/2021 14:05

@Minster2012 if chill means 'have lost the will to go on!' 🤣 I'm good thanks. Im just more hoping to concieve now rather than trying to conceive if that makes sense.
