Breaking banjos, poking boobs & getting promoted 🙌🏻it’s TTC bus 44

[Minster2012]

Wow that last one was a quick one! The bus driver nearly missed the bus!🏎🚌

Here is the bus where anything goes, and chat isn’t just TTC it’s anything. Ranting very much encouraged to her things off your (are they sore boobs?!) chest. The last bus had loads of work promotions too & we’ve still got interviews so hopefully it’s a lucky bus in more ways than just making babies.

We are here to help and support each other & anything goes. We’ve had losses, heartache & some super fertile short ride passengers so welcome all.

The price of your bus pass is an embarrassing story please, doesn’t have to go be TTC related but can you beat breaking a guy’s banjo in a BJ or whilst DTD?! 🤞🏻🙌🏻

And if you see mention of my blog then blame these guys, but I need to carry on with it it, I’ve been lazy! #shamelessplug

Thank you so much everyone for your kind words and support. please don't judge me 🤦‍♀️🤣
Because it's my first I'm just super super anxious about everything!
Yeah I'm going to call the midwife on Monday just to clear my head about it all. I do feel so stupid though.

@2020mission nope that's the other end of the bedroom, we've turned the water off so he can't turn the taps on to flood it 🤣AND that room has the floral light switch. Cos it needs more floral right?!

Def blackouts. BLACKOUT THE WHOLE ROOM. NO CHINKS OF LIGHT. I Velcro'd his blind to the side of the window then he has another set of curtains on top. We also hung something over the door To stop any light (the joy of rustic barn doors!). You may laugh but it's a well known tactic FULL DARK to keep babies /children asleep til past 4am.

@Franklydear I genuinely do have the fire on 🤣🤪

@feliznavidad2 How was the time away with the OPKs? That's interesting about the non alternating ovaries.

@Kiwibabyjourney we are here for all the times

@kiwibabyjourney one thing I'll say - none of us ever judge anyone. Hope chatting to your midwife puts you at rest. X

@Kiwibabyjourney you'll be fine, most women have no idea they are pregnant until 4 weeks anyway! It's just all us crazies that are test mad that find out before then! And don't feel silly we are all learning xx

@becarefuloutthere well good question, based on ovulation I'm 6+6 but they have written in my notes based on size I'm more like 5.5-6. I feel ok with that. How about you?

@clolo 12!!! Amazing!! 😍🥳 sorry if I've missed it - when will they plan to do a transfer?

Nice curtains @Minster2012

@Dollybird89 aww your pup is loving life!

@Amy00 one thing I learnt from my endless googling before my similar scan is that as long as it's grown & especially if a heartbeat then you are more likely 6 weeks & they can often then catch up so you'll prob end up about right to ovulation in the end 😘

@Minster2012 a toddler and a tap unsupervised, what could go wrong?
@Kiwibabyjourney we actually made it a rule a lifetime ago, being judgypants is the only thing that’ll get you kicked out on route

@clolo oh, that feels long

Yes to the blackouts 👏🏼, we had blackout blinds, blackout curtains AND the Gro Velcro blind to pin the frame for those extra sneaky bits of light 😆 Never actually worked to be honest as DD woke between 5-5:30am from birth until just recently 😂

@feliznavidad2 that's strange with your ovary! Not cold but humid here tonight, lots of thunder so storm brewing ⛈

That was such a nice catch up!

@Amy00 so relieved for you that the s an went well!

@clolo 12 is just amazing! A dozen eggs, sounds like the shopping list 😂 congratulations!

@bez91 I know you are not feeling very optimistic but getting a digi has to be good x

@GuessHowMuch welcome out of lurksville 👋

Ahhhh yes sorry @GuessHowMuch I wrote down your name then didn't comment I'm so sorry

We've got thunder ⚡️⛈

@Haiyaa good idea! Yeah I'm ok thanks, still battling nausea on n off.
@Amy00 ah ok, be interesting to see what they do with me! I'll be getting scanned a week on Monday so will find out then.
@clolo so bloody pleased for you lovely 🥰
@Minster2012 cute curtains for X!
How's the sale going on your place?

@Kiwibabyjourney No judgement at all lovely

@Minster2012 well, I only did two OPK as sort of forgot and was too busy to think about it among the sea, sun and errm swimming pool. I've started using them again today and don't think I've missed ovulation yet so that's something. 🤷‍♀️ 🤞🏻

Hi all. Crazy weather here too.

I went to visit my grandmother today. She's 90 next month. I got my very first "where are the babies?" comment today during the visit. I pretended to misunderstand the question and started rambling about my nieces (who are babies). Didn't upset me. Just awkward, but then the whole visit was slightly awkward because there's a family war on at the moment and she asked me my opinion and I gave it, knowing it won't go down well. Fuck it.

Also visited my pregnant friend and was surprised by how jealous I felt. Oh well.

Morning!

@becarefuloutthere I think it's going ok! Not really heard anything but last time the estate agent checked apparently it was ok. We just want to exchange ASAP so we can actually move 😬

@feliznavidad2 that's good then 🤞🏻for not missing ovulation

@Somatronic argh for both the question, feud & being jealous, fuck it to it all. I've just had to add someone I know as a fb friend & she's due September (do you remember me saying ages ago about the builder telling me that his wife was "pregnant again but it's really early") back in the day? Well allllll she does it put posts of her belly & stroking it & referring to the baby & her boy (7 months younger than X) saying "there's a baby in there". I really want to block her but can't. I'm insanely jealous. It's natural

We've also got crazy weather, last night thunder storm now lovely & sunny. I'm also very tired. Next door had a party til god knows what time, they were all singing "sweet Caroline" at midnight. DS then woke me up at 1am then 3am REALLY wanting to go downstairs as his tummy was growling, then 4 am

Knackered 😫

@Minster2012 I think you can choose to see less of her on your feed at least?

@bez91 I really hope your line progresses 🤞

@amy00 I'm so happy the scan went well!! Like minster said - I think the bean will catch up!

Not much to report here - I've been sleeping so well since the resignation. I really do feel a lot better for it. I'm also trying out probiotics for the foof atm to see if it helps sort out my thrush issue.

I keep getting a bit frustrated when thinking about the unexplained infertility bit. Eg I see others on MN get prescribed levothyroxine for the TSH level I have in order to improve fertility yet I got dismissed when I raised it as a concern. Why couldn't I try IUI when maybe the problem is that I have a "hostile environment" in my vagina? That circles back to the probiotics bit as I've seen someone else on MN have them prescribed on the basis that their vagina/womb environment wasn't optimal for the sperm... Just seems like there are things that could be tried before jumping straight into ivf but no one listens 🤔

Morning, awful weather here too, and I slept sooo badly, meh, dh frustrated too cos I couldn’t bring myself to dtd,
@Juno231 keep insisting, ask the specific questions, you know women health gets dismissed, don’t be too nice, demand answers

@Minster2012 they must have been watching the football 😆 can you get in a quick nap this morning? We let DD got to bed at 9, thought she'd sleep in - no 🙄 really good you've got the house to do bits to for a while before you properly move. No panic of having to find everything for your first night there that way!

@Juno231 thank you, trying not to think about it, something doesn't seem to add up so not being optimistic, my boobs do feel like they're gonna fall off through😆That's really frustrating they won't hear you out. I tried some probiotics. Nutrizing Womens Bio-Cultures from Amazon I think they were. I went through a spate of suffering with BV early last year and they seemed to resolve the problem in a matter of days, may be worth a try

I only got to page 3, but this is gold www.mumsnet.com/Talk/mumsnet_classics/1852343-Well-That-went-well-didnt-it

@Juno231 thanks I will try that! Really pleased you are clearly v happy with your decision which is great. I concur with what @Franklydear says. Keep pushing. Be that annoying person. I had to do the same to get the blood thinners, really really frustrating but necessary, here though the 2 couples I know who had unexplained infertility also had to go straight to Ivf. They've both got kids from it though! IUI could be done after a round of ivf if you wanted to do that yourself in the future?

@bez91 killer boobs is a good thing then 🙌🏻we know on here part of the hard bit is staying pregnant too 🤞🏻
