It’s been thirteen million years & Minster & the good time crew are still here…its September, autumn in full swing and we haven’t done too bad so far this month compared to previous months but I still think we are owed ladies.

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

Agency bus driver at the wheel.…

All aboard bus number 48

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

Looking good @clolo hopefully that FR will give you a blazing line tomorrow to make you feel more reasurred 😊

Minster2012 · 01/10/2021 15:53

Looking fantastic @clolo you'll believe it when you see the FRER!! 💓🙌🏻🥳

@dmb91 it's so frustrating I think things can be wonky for a while

@Franklydear argh too late! But I've still kept some rainbow element 🌈🤞🏻

Wow @clolo I think that will be a blazer on a FRER 😬🤞🏼

@Minster2012 we need to change to our winter duvet this weekend it's freeeeezing. What are you going for instead of rainbow colours? Oooh just seen your update, like the subtle rainbow 🌈

@DKDK123 dreams can be a bit traumatising 😆 that's definitely reassuring that they want to see you face to face, you kinda feel more of an actual person. That times quite nicely with your scan and midwife app 😊

Woahhh @larrythelizard take it easy on the drink, no accidents at the gym, super dedication there 👌🏼

@clolo how exciting!

Lovely nails @Minster2012 I got mine done yesterday for the first time since I got married, over a year ago. I'm trying to do nice things for myself cos I'm heading into a month of due dates and christenings in my family/friend group Smile

Franklydear · 01/10/2021 16:12

@Minster2012 I approve, rainbows till summer it is

paintfairy · 01/10/2021 19:03

@DKDK123 ah. I didn't check the episode, just that it had recorded and was the right programme. So that makes sense @Minster2012 - is this really the last one though? Usually they do like a final catch up later? Nice nails, but your bruises?!
@larrythelizard yes they did! God, there's a lot. DH was like- what on earth?

becarefuloutthere · 01/10/2021 19:50

@clolo defo a line there lovely! Will come out really well on the frer tomorrow!
@Minster2012 lovely looking nails, no such thing as jinxing remember. You got this x

InkyPaper · 01/10/2021 20:00

@clolo oooh so exciting!! Looks like a great line to me - keeping my fingers crossed for you! 🤞

@paintfairy either way, I hope they start explaining things a little better for you. Seems a bit crap to just get chucked right in the deep end with it all!

@Minster2012 ooh loving your new nails!

Minster2012 · 01/10/2021 20:08

Ahhhhhh @DKDK123 that explains it thank you! And why it's on tonight, Though I think I'm gonna have to save it til tomorrow l @paintfairy there is a reunion I think on Monday according to my tv listings (which I now don't trust!) the bruises was from blood taking for hcg but don't forget I'm on blood thinners so I'm bruising more easily atm (I've got a huge one on my leg I've got NO IDEA where it came from!)

@becarefuloutthere let's hope!!

@clolo when are the FRERs coming?? So excited for you!!

@Franklydear thank you! I like them, and @Somatronic that sounds like the perfect thing to do, you need to look after you

@bez91 get the duvet out!! I'm thinking maybe the 6 tog won't be enough in this house, brrrrr

Vil10 · 01/10/2021 20:11

@Minster2012 omg that's the best news I could've come back to!! I'm so so glad you didn't have to wait 2 weeks and so happy for the turn of events!!🌈❤️

@Franklydear so glad to hear your DS is doing amazing in school, how lovely x

@DKDK123 you can do this lovely!! Keep positive💪🏽

@clolo that is definitely a line!! I think you'll have a blazer on an frer!!🤞🏼❤️

Sorry I've been so quiet ladies I've just had such a hectic few days at work, my mum has decided after me helping manage her business for 6 years she's going to make me a director in the new year so very exciting but means I've been doing so much work this week! Everything's all go with the house, we had surveyors round on Monday and everything was fine, so we sent the contracts off to the solicitors today so as long as there's no hold ups completion shouldnt be too far off, which is exciting but worrying as we still don't have our next house!! Got a night out with OH and the family and friends for my sisters birthday tomorrow and having to pre warn family that know to not mention to OH or anyone else about his accident, we don't need it bringing up on a night out when we're trying to enjoy ourselves! Not really much of a TTC update from me, OH has his SA on the 18th and that's about it!! Oh and a friend who knows we're TTC sent me a house the other day and said "it's lovely, we would've gone for it but it's not exactly baby proof, perfect for you two though" ye thanks just the reminder I need that we don't have a child🖕🏼

Bea14 · 01/10/2021 20:17

Wow @Minster2012 what a rollercoaster. I have just caught up and I cannot imagine how difficult it has been for you. I am SO delighted that you heard the heartbeat. Thank goodness you spoke to the right person and got the correct information. Blows my mind that they were prepared to leave you in that horrible unknown for two weeks. Also love the 🌈 glitter nails!

@clolo Amazing news you see a line. I really hope this is your sticky bean and you can confirm on a FRER soon.

@Franklydear Super news your son is so happy in his new school. Brilliant news to hear how supported he is. It sounds like a great school with very caring staff.

@DKDK123 Ah I was wondering what was going on with MAFSUK. I wonder who made that mistake?! Also I love how committed your son is to the cause. I hope his insight proves true!

@Vil10 How is your OH doing now?

We are so excited as we are moving into a new build at the end of the year. We went for a look today and the house is up and looking amazing! Now watertight! We have also managed to get in touch with the electrician from the site who is going to wire in lots of additional things for us now before the walls are plastered etc. It is all coming together.
Now on CD19 and waiting for ov. I hope it happens soon. The worst thing about having irregular cycles is never knowing if/when I will ovulate. Feel like I am forever peeing on OPKs.
I am away to choose an EMKfit for tomorrow morning. I did the High School Musical one last time and it was a proper throwback! My DH said it sounded like I was having a disco 😂. So any favs?

@clolo I can never see lines. That is definitely a line! 🤣 Hopefully the FRER won't be long.
@Minster2012 bloody hell. Went to my recordings to watch MAFS tonight slightly behind and it hasn't recorded (set for no repeats) because it thinks it already recorded it. 🙄

Bundaberg84 · 02/10/2021 00:01

Aahhhh @Minster2012 late to the party but wow! That made my day!🎉🎉🤩 So happy for you!!

DKDK123 · 02/10/2021 03:25

Very exciting news on the promotion @vil10 🥳 And all good on the house front, your perfect house to buy is just right around the corner waiting for you (and not the non baby proof one your friend so tactlessly pointed out 🙄)

@bea14 good news on your house progress too 😊 I love all the emkfit ones, I tend to go back to 80s/90s songs tho just to relive my youth 😂

@clolo hooray for the bgp with evening wee 🥳 tho I know you still won't fully believe it till you see that FR today

I just had to go downstairs and get a banana (3.20am) as I woke up absolutely starving, and I like my sleep, hunger would never usually trump sleep. Hoping this is a good sign 🤞

Minster2012 · 02/10/2021 07:58

@Vil10 that's brilliant news on the promotion and the house, well done! I told you one of our friends wouldn't stay at our old house with her 7 month old as she "thought it wasn't safe for a child" (we were talking about her staying with us with 2 other women as well so more than plenty of eyes to assist) how we then raised DS there without problem I don't know. 🤣🙄ppl are stupid never forget that!

@clolo omg I'm so pleased for you getting a great evening positive as well!! Don't forget I basically have no symptoms even now except for cramping 💓🥳🙌🏻🙌🏻🥳🥳

Thank you @Bea14, keep going with the OPKs, the cycle before this one I gave up on CD22 and was surprised by OV on CD26 and wished I'd kept doing them. EMKFit the greatest showman one is hard! And the longer booty workout was fab for me I thought I wasn't going to be able to move after it! I liked the emo one too! My DH used to often join me!

@paintfairy MAFS is out to get us! I'm just about to see if I can watch it now whilst DS eating breakfast!

@Bundaberg84 thank you lovely ❤️

@DKDK123 all good signs!! Come on we can do this

I nearly just fell down the stairs, that wasn't good. Need to be careful 🤨

larrythelizard · 02/10/2021 08:03

That's great @clolo it's so exciting!

I also like the grown up nails but with SPARKLE @Minster2012! Mine are just a boring grey at the moment!

Well done on the promotion @Vil10, nice that other things are coming together for you.

@Bea14 oh it's exciting when you get to go for in for the first time!

@DKDK123 definitely a good sign 🤞🏼

I am hungover yet booked into the gym at 9. And I've just looked and it's a team workout which means I'll have to try hard. Had tea and now on to hydration tablets...! Toast just gave me heartburn! Will be having a nap though, heading back to the homeland for a family party tonight so aim to join the toddler in napping all the way there. Maybe I'll even sit in the back with him?!

Minster2012 · 02/10/2021 08:03

@clolo also how does OH feel?! Amazing!

Justanothercyster · 02/10/2021 08:07

@clolo I had cramps too, badly for the first 12 weeks! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@Vil10 wow that's all so exciting! Well done! And you're very right, middle finger to that friend, how insensitive.

@DKDK123 ahh 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@larrythelizard wow well done haha, you've got more strength than me!

whatwonder · 02/10/2021 08:13

Wow so much to catch up on! Hope everyone’s doing well ☺️

Took a few days off MN cos my anxiety was getting out of hand and I needed to limit my time going online (I was just googling too much stuff and driving myself insane).

@Minster2012 omg this is such incredible news! 🎉 I am so happy for you but also just completely enraged at how the entire situation was handled by the health care providers you saw you. Have you booked in a scan at that other place?

@DKDK123 keeping everything crossed for you! And roll on 16th! 🙌🏼

@clolo congrats!!! Looking forward to the pics of the frer!

I ended up having to go to EPU this week as I was having intense cramps on one side. I rang 111 and they advised I go immediately to the EPU to rule out an ectopic. That was pretty overwhelming but I ended up having a TV scan and everything is in the right place so that was good. The DR said “ okay yes it’s in the uterus, but we can’t tell at this point if it’s viable it’s much too early for that” umm…thanks? But they ended up booking in a “reassurance” scan for me at 7.5 weeks where I’ll hopefully get to see & hear the heartbeat! 🤞🏼

whatwonder · 02/10/2021 08:14

@Lexber how are you doing? And how is your daughter?

paintfairy · 02/10/2021 08:54

@Vil10 do you have any friends that aren't dicks? 🤔🤣 Jesus. The job sounds good though!
@Minster2012 I suppose at least I can watch MAFS tonight, I recorded it on plus one - just in case it isn't on catch up.

Somatronic · 02/10/2021 09:11

Good morning all. Ugh. I'm fighting with DH but I have to ride him today as per the nurse's instructions. I hate that.

bez91 · 02/10/2021 09:18

Fab news @Vil10 on being appointed a director! Have you got much in the pipeline for house viewings? It took us months to find something after we sold 🤦🏼‍♀️

@clolo yesss the Clearblue- great news 🥳

Seems a good sign to me @DKDK123 I just can't fill up on anything my stomach is constantly wanting more. I've had some spotting when wiping this morning though 😕

@Minster2012 that's ridiculous about your friend, I mean you didn't live in a fire pit raging dungeon did you 🤦🏼‍♀️nearly fell down the stairs? Maybe you need a baby gate in your new home 😉 take it easy. When we extended last year we had a small recessed staircase in our kitchen put in which is impossible to baby proof but hey ho 🤷‍♀️

@larrythelizard you're crackers lass but can't fault your motivation!

@whatwonder glad everything is ok and they ruled out ectopic

@Somatronic argggh that's tough. Can you suggest a trip out or a walk together to hopefully cut the tension so you can bear one another for the deed?
