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

@bez91 hahaha good point about pissing DH off. I'd better DTD ASAP 😅

paintfairy · 02/10/2021 21:19

@bez91 ffs. Just go buy some? I've got some in the cupboard i can send. 🤣
@Franklydear my greys come through far too quickly for my liking! December is ages though!
@Minster2012 OMG! MAFS Australia starts next week! 🥳

Minster2012 · 02/10/2021 21:34

@bez91 oh my god that thread. I sent someone from here baby aspirin a few months ago cos they were in Ireland and they don't have them in shops. Savers £1! I can't believe that OP, mind you we've had experience of knob Head doctors receptionists on here haven't we too 🤣I didn't realise maternity has prescription exemption I was about to say she was buying the most expensive aspirin ever!!

Oh yes @Somatronic don't fall out before DTD 😬

@paintfairy yesssssssss next week!! Boom there is more MAFS!! Yessss
Also in my "resting up" I'm thinking I might go back to the Batchelor from the start. Never watched it, seems right up my trashy street 🤣(as well as @larrythelizard's suggestion of going back through silent witness)

Right I'm gonna be Rock n roll and snuggle up (or spread out) in my lovely soft warm empty bed and look forwards to a lie in and no waking up tonight 🥳🥳🥳🥳

Minster2012 · 02/10/2021 21:36

Ps, picture of headless dogs ive been snuggling with (they aren't allowed in our living room here now) ooooopppps mwwwwwaahhhhhh

Oh one more thing, wasn't @kaylsd due this weekend???? How are you???

paintfairy · 02/10/2021 22:36

First injection done. Omg. I thought this was the easy one. Simple to work out and not much to put in. Or 0.5ml doesn't sound much anyhow. No one told me it stings after! Its also red and itchy. I've got to be on this until trigger? 😫 I've found an ice cube.....

Juno231 · 02/10/2021 23:41

@Minster2012 I saw a new baby on insta from one of the MN crew but I'm so bad at remembering who's who - maybe it was @kaylsd ?!

DKDK123 · 03/10/2021 00:59

Started to get really bad cramping last night and pink blood when I was wiping. So I just went to my bed early and decided what will be will be, ie full blown ostrich mode 😂. Woke up there expecting to be full blown bleeding when I went to the loo but all seems to have stopped again. Still got some cramping but it's much milder......but now my sore boobs have returned and feeling a bit icky! An increase of both m/c and pregnancy symptoms at the same time, my body really is just wanting to keep me on my toes guessing 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Lexber · 03/10/2021 03:44

Hi guys, thanks fir the tag @whatwonder I'm ok just exhausted!
8+1 and not had a decent poo for about 3 weeks 🤦🏽‍♀️🤣 sickness still bad but in stronger anti sickness medication that's helping. Water infection cleared up but now have oral thrush - I'm a bag of happiness right now 🤣🤣 but just reminding myself daily it's short term and worth it and I'm so lucky to be where I am! Got my first MW appointment Thursday
Been awake last 45min and now hungry 🤦🏽‍♀️

Sorry I've been so quiet I keep trying to keep up but struggling so much with work at the minute I'm exhausted, hopefully things will settle soon 🤞🏼

@clolo lovely strong line, you can believe it now! 🥰
Unfortunately the positive symptoms were short lived, had them for about half an hour then totally disappeared again and spotting and cramping resumed. I'm imagining it like an internal fight going on to see which side wins 🤔 but mentally I've already started checking out, I think I know which ways it's going.
I think I'll hop off the bus for a while as I don't want my updates to scare people like you who have newly got their bfp and should be celebrating and in a blissfully happy bubble right now, just remember for most people those 2 lines mean the road to a happy outcome so try not to worry just enjoy it after how long you've waited 😘

paintfairy · 03/10/2021 08:43

@clolo yay! Brilliant! What we like to see. I'll check out the ice packs.
@DKDK123 its hard isn't it, as cramping can happen and be ok. But I can absolutely imagine the fear. Fingers crossed for you. I'm praying this one clings on xxx

Minster2012 · 03/10/2021 08:56

@paintfairy yeah they sting like a bitch, def ice the area first & make sure you've got the angle right. Same as my fragmin injections atm sting like crazy 😩

@Juno231 ooooo who is the baby I can't see it... no @kaylsd was due AF (formerly long cycles)

@DKDK123 I'm really hoping it's just something like me, like a clot? You should be 6 weeks so could go to epu? Sending lots of love

@Lexber argh sorry to hear you are having a rough time, you said your work are being really supportive aren't they? Hang in there xxx

@clolo I THINK I see the line 💓😘❤️🥳🙌🏻congratulations!! That's awesome

paintfairy · 03/10/2021 09:04

@Minster2012 the gonal f never did, so i just expected it to be fine. 🤣
@Juno231 I saw the baby too. And I also cannot remember who they are on here. But it was someone that used to post a lot. 🤦‍♀️🤣

Can someone please Insta message a screenshot of the baby please I can't find them 🤦🏼‍♀️

Justanothercyster · 03/10/2021 09:22

@clolo ahhh exciting congrats! 🎉🎉 haha I was the same with the boob poking, mine started hurting around 5/ 6 weeks. The symptoms will come!

@DKDK123 so sorry lovely, look after yourself, we're here if you need us x

Franklydear · 03/10/2021 09:23

@Minster2012 @paintfairy I bought a box of natural blond and put it in, didn’t change much the highlights but covered my greys,, slightly lighter than my natural colour, she won’t like it but though, she’s booked in till the last few days of November so, there
@bez91 I also don’t get nights away, even though he is pre teen, only the one this year, he wouldn’t settle for anyone else and stay awake defiantly, even with grandparents, once got home at 4 in the morning, and yep fully awake, luckily my dad is a night owl, the moment he saw me, he was down for the count, so clearly waiting for me
@DKDK123 omg, ostriching with you, so hoping it’ll be alright, don’t leave, we are here for you too, I need to buy bright yarn, so many rainbows....
@Lexber just say hi every so often, I sometimes just read —until cd 4–
@clolo that’s a lovely line!
The baby was @djmum? I made her a pair of white booties, if I remember correctly, as they were keeping it a surprise
Dh has decided to do smep, I wonder if he’s been reading about it, cos even when he’s knackered and I thought not a chance he initiates, I am getting to the point of giving up, but he’s not,

Franklydear · 03/10/2021 09:27

@Minster2012 sent, you liked the photo

Lexber · 03/10/2021 09:27

Yes @Franklydear it was @DJmum83 I think xx

paintfairy · 03/10/2021 09:31

@Franklydear ah yes! I think you are right
It was really annoying me I couldn't remember as I know I did know originally who some people were, and she was one. 🤦‍♀️🤣 So I'm glad i know now. I think she's @DJmum83 ?

Minster2012 · 03/10/2021 09:53

Yes guys you are right!
@Franklydear don't you give up on us there's a rainbow for you too 🌈🌈🌈

@paintfairy I mean sticking needles in oneself is just never gonna be a pleasurable experience 😬means to an end

Juno231 · 03/10/2021 10:01

Omg well done for remembering it was @djmum83 ! And I did her confused @Minster2012 as I was pretty certain @kaylsd wasn't 9 months pregnant all of a sudden 😅

@clolo wow look at that dye stealer already!! Fantastic line

@DKDK123 maybe the bean snuggled in extra tight last night and it caused the spotting. Focus on it being super normal and the extra symptoms popping up today is surely a great sign!

Juno231 · 03/10/2021 10:03

It's typical btw, starting my new job tomorrow and this is the first weekend in years I feel I could have properly relaxed... So obviously my body gave in and I've got my first cold in over two years and feel absolutely rubbish.

Minster2012 · 03/10/2021 11:09

Oh no #whatabitch @Juno231 I'm full of cold too it's blurghhhhhh and yeah that's would be magical for @kaylsd 🤣❤️

@clolo they put one embryo back in right?
