It’s been twelve million years & Minster & the good time crew are still here…it’s almost September and we basically missed out August for BFPs so we are owed.

Lots of people have got new jobs, had time off, gone on holiday, moved house, but what we haven’t had is the BFP to go with it- what’s with that??

So we’re owed a bumper bus ride right? That’s how it goes surely? If you are looking for a community of lovely ladies who know how frustrating it is when your doctor tells you “all women ovulate on day 14” errrr nope, we know a bus load of women who don’t thanks very much 🙋🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️😆🤔then here’s the bus for you. Oh and we don’t just talk TTC, we’ll chat about anything. In fact that’s positively encouraged cos TTC can be bloody boring sometimes!

It costs an embarrassing life (or TTC) story for your ticket please then you can hop on board

Roll on September ladies, it’s time for tunics, leggings & pulling those tunics up for hot quickie action right??

All aboard bus number 47

I think I was under the influence when I agreed to take on this agency bus driver role 🍻 I endeavour to not drink drive…

Plugging @minster2012 blog \\\___, we’ve had cancer, travels & ivf so need to get to the fun stuff, more ivf, surrogacy and more! #shamelessplug

@DKDK123 thinking of you xx

Haiyaa · 12/09/2021 16:48

OMG @DKDK123, that is a good line. Sending quiet hugs and positive vibes your way. You can do this whatever happens. Actually got a little tear when I saw the pic and remembered the events leading up to it ❤️

DKDK123 · 12/09/2021 16:59

Thank you ladies, you really are the best support group 🥰. I'm CD23 but don't know how many DPO so have ordered some FR from amazon and shall just have to test on Tues morn see what trend the line's going in. If I get to this time next week and there's a blazing line then I may let myself believe a little, until then I'm on knicker watch and will be wearing a pad daily just incase. DH is starting to get cautiously excited now tho talking about events we having coming up (we have big events wedding, birthdays, weekend away already planned for every weekend in October!) and the practicalities of me being pregnant and talking about a future with 2 children in it. I can't say his optimism is rubbing off on me yet but it's nice to see him excited again.

Bea14 · 12/09/2021 17:01

Thanks @Franklydear. The waiting and wondering is horrible but hopefully we both get some good news before long!

@paintfairy and @Minster2012 I have now caught up with the all the episodes and WOW. I mean it is drama after drama. I felt so sorry for Ant. I also do not like Jordan at all and when he dropped that bombshell about Megan. Bob is quite a lot but he has been mugged off. Sooo much going on already!

@DKDK123 I can understand that your emotions are everywhere right now. I am sending you lots of positive thoughts and vibes❤️

Thanks ladies for your happy thoughts. Spotting today so I think AF is on her way. Maybe next cycle will be the one 🤞

Franklydear · 12/09/2021 17:38

@Bea14 tell me about it, I am cd14, ovulation is supposed to just past, but I've been having unusual headaches, bigger boobs and some heartburn and considering testing, crazy I know, I might still do it though

Franklydear · 12/09/2021 18:00

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4347321-Over-DD-s-passport This one is funny, on your bike....

larrythelizard · 12/09/2021 18:56

MN logged me out and needed to get on my computer to log me back in! Annoying!

I still don't know what's happening with work tomorrow other than that people I spoke to on Friday were surprised I have no laptop! Hopefully it'll arrive tomorrow 🤞🏼

Mammoth catch up incoming...

@Somatronic well done for keeping to the schedule, now just got to hope it works! Kind of feel for your DH but at the same time it's literally the only thing they have to do!! Lol at unionising!

Oh periods already @Kirky658?! That's unfair!

@Juno231 @paintfairy with DS I deffo wanted a girl and was very set on a girls name. We weren't finding out though (DH's idea...!) so I secretly found out about 4 weeks before he was due so I got my head round it. Obviously I wouldn't be without him now and also I'm well educated on different types of diggers and dinosaurs...

@Juno231 end of October appt sounds a good date.

@DKDK123 glad the funeral went ok, hoping for you that your aunt is a prophet. Maybe eye of the newt potion is what I need?! Oh god I've just scrolled on. Can your aunt send lotto numbers?! On a more serious note just sending love and support and hope and not the C word. Could be the one that sticks.

Enjoying the kombucha chat! Not into spirulina though @whatwonder

@Vil10 great news on no surgery needed for DP. Natural that you're jumpy about it all.

Orchestra @Franklydear? What does he play?

@InkyPaper rubbish AF!

Well I've learned that your arsehole is very absorbent thanks to this thread!

@Bea14 hope you get your rainbow soon.

Enjoyed the tales of your weekend @Minster2012 and X of course, my 2 year old also thinks he knows best but quite clearly doesn't. Massive stand offs this weekend about eating (or lack of it).

💕💕💕 for the bus driver, that's another few days ticked off @bez91

Franklydear · 12/09/2021 19:04

@larrythelizard he plays violin, it’s only the kid’s youth string orchestra, first concert in December, he is very excited and thinks that maybe he’ll want a career in music, also interested in engineering and astronomy, so hard to choose

bez91 · 12/09/2021 19:36

Test @Franklydear was your period particularly light?

Thanks @larrythelizard 💕 I hope all goes well tomorrow too, are you working from home? Wow 😂 did DH ever find out that you knew the gender? There's no scenario whereby I'd ever want to know I don't think!

Hope everyone has had a good weekend. I've been solo with DD whilst DH away and it's actually been bliss. I feel like when there's 2 of us here we're always rushing around but the house is tidier without him here even though he's also a neat freak himself so I don't get it 🤷‍♀️

OP posts:
Franklydear · 12/09/2021 19:43

@bez91 I find I organise myself and ds easier without dh, but I think in my case it is because of being very synch and dh more neurotypical than us
Af was light but they all are, I might just use an ic, cm also right for the times in cycle, 3 days of ewcm, a day of nothing and today creamy cm, so I am pretty sure that I am clutching at straws...

blackcurrantqueen · 12/09/2021 20:09

@DKDK123 oh darling, all the support, whatever happens. Let's hope this little one decides to stick around. Xxx

Vil10 · 12/09/2021 20:26

@larrythelizard good luck for tomorrow!! Are you feeling ready? Apart from the no laptop etc x

@bez91 glad you've had a lovely weekend!!

Completely forgot about ovulation with everything going on, been really wet today and yesterday, thought shit yeah I'll just do an opk and it's looking like ov might be on Tuesday, looked on flo and that says Tuesday too, good job OH is feeling better🍆 got some this morning though so good timing!!

larrythelizard · 12/09/2021 20:31

Yes working from home @bez91 - thanks for the well wishes @Vil10 too! I think I'm feeling ok about it, just want to get on with it!

He sounds such a lovely lad @Franklydear.

paintfairy · 12/09/2021 20:34

@larrythelizard I am not very girly to be fair so I'd probably find a boy easier. 🤣
@Bea14 in looking forward to seeing what happens this next week!
@InkyPaper @Vil10l I get hot too sometimes in my LP. In summer this is not fun!
@DKDK123 oh my goodness. I don't know what to say. Other than we are here for you. 🤞🤞🤞

Minster2012 · 12/09/2021 21:22

@larrythelizard still no laptop???
Oops 🤣well good luck & you will be ace at winging it!

@Bea14 is it bad that I wanted Nikita to stay in longer for drama??? But omg Megan. Just how could you?? How's the spotting? Do you think it's AF?

@Haiyaa heyyyyy girl how are you? Am I right in thinking you are in TWW aren't you? After family holiday on FW?

@DKDK123 that seems like a good plan and bless DH

@Juno231 @paintfairy I totally didn't mind the sex of X, as you would imagine. Would love a girl but bearing in mind X is the second of 5 (going to be 6) grandsons for my in laws & my brother has a boy too there is literally one girl within 35 "set level" close family when we worked it out so we obviously can't make girls 🤣😂(would be pretty special to get the first then 🤔)

@Franklydear your DS sounds amazing, the world is truly his oyster

Talking of oysters ...and moister than oysters...@Vil10 it's a great way to bonk the worries away!

@bez91 you wouldn't want to know the gender? See I'm too controlling 🤪🤨😬

@InkyPaper I get hot in LP too

Last night in holiday cottage tonight & after a hectic weekend we have had an early night watching tv (love a bit of antiques roadshow it soothes me!) and chilling

Talking of C words, today I bought Christmas decorations from Whitby. Yep, you read that right! 🎄🎄I buy a new decoration each year & today I saw a beautiful handmade rainbow glass Xmas tree to honour the Xmas day due date of the last MC, then I bought a bigger green tree which represents X. We've left them on the car so as not to unpack again but
This is the lady who made them showing a rainbow tree too 🌈🎄

Franklydear · 12/09/2021 21:48

@larrythelizard @Minster2012 not bad for an autistic boy with anxiety , eh? We very proud of him, he works very hard, he’s made a friend to sit with on the bus, all the worry is worth it in the end, now this week I have to work as well as getting him to school....urgh....

InkyPaper · 13/09/2021 00:00

@Minster2012 @paintfairy @Vil10 it's been so reassuring to find out it's not just me! Absolutely on fire today so I'm guessing AF is gonna show tomorrow. Unusually strong PMT symptoms this time around, which is extra fun. Stupid body.

@Franklydear your DS definitely sounds like such a lovely lad 😊 music and science is a great combo!

@Minster2012 those decorations sound absolutely lovely

I have actually been a hormonal crazy woman all day today, convinced myself I was pregnant earlier, then remembered that is physically impossible, cried. Saw someone I used to work with was pregnant, raged about that for a while, and then went back to crying before cramps kicked in 😂🙈 so yeah, either AF is turning up tomorrow or I'm even more screwed up than usual 😂

DKDK123 · 13/09/2021 05:07

@larrythelizard good luck for your first day today!

@Minster2012 love the glass tree decorations 😍

bez91 · 13/09/2021 06:56

Good luck @larrythelizard 😊

@Minster2012 I'm a control freak normally but that's something you can't have control over so I don't see the benefit in knowing 😆 the C word oh no! Her things look lovely!

Arggggh @InkyPaper is AF usually on time? Sending hugs 🤗

http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/amiibeingunreasonable/4347549-to-not-own-an-iron I seem to be in the minority here that I own an iron and actually use it 🤯 even after being in the tumble dryer they still don't look good to wear. I reevaluating my life now. Anyone else? 😂

OP posts:
Minster2012 · 13/09/2021 07:12

@Franklydear not bad at all 😘

@larrythelizard good luck! (I bet you are in the gym now)

@InkyPaper it's not physically impossible at all for you, it's just more difficult but hurdles can be overcome

@bez91 to be fair if I put anything in the tumble drier then it comes out needing ironing more (but I only tumble bedding and towels) and so I still don't iron those. I do iron some stuff, just as little as possible! Still a huge like each week. I've actually got 2 irons it seems as I found another in the move as ours was breaking then came back to life!🙄🤦🏼‍♀️

Last morning here & I'm feeling shocking, just wondering if I should bring some of the sand from the beach home to make the 🌈ostrich sandpit bigger...sorry if it's triggering, even DH has said he doesn't know whether to be happy as he's just worried

lucyrp · 13/09/2021 08:00
