Shackets from yesteryear, baltic crotches ❄️ and lots of ostriches 🐦 TTC bus 48

[bez91]

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

Yessss @clolo you can believe now 🙌🏼

@DKDK123 sorry to read your update. Try and get checked out if you can. Look after yourself we're all here 🫂

@Franklydear oh bless your DS waiting for you. It's more the fact we've only really got my dad where we live. He has her once a week but won't overnight. Woahhh go your DH on the smep 🥳

That's crappy timing @Juno231 hopefully short lived for you!

Popping on for a quick catch up xx

Congrats @clolo ❤

@DKDK123 as I told a friend this week, keep hope. Meanwhile we are all here to hold ur hand all the way ❤❤❤

Hope everyone is good. Nothing much to report. Have a friend over from Glasgow to lay my new flooring so house will be chaos for a few days I expect 🤦‍♀️🤣 council have organised a big bulk lift so using it as an excuse to get rid of all the crap that I seem to accumulate 🤷‍♀️ 🤦‍♀️

Caolan doing well. Likes to sleep, shit and self harm it seems lol. Big scratch on his poor wee face but doesn't seem to fussed about it lol. Currently waiting in the car for dd to finish dance class so trying to catch up a bit.

@Franklydear hope ur not missing me too much 😜🤣🤣

@Minster2012 stay away from the stairs ffs 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

I always miss you @Catherinettc, but you can be excused as probably not sleeping much

@Franklydear u won't believe this but he has slept right through since 4 weeks. And I'm talking average 12 hours. I've hit the jackpot lol. He's so chilled out and content xx

@Catherinettc then get your ass down here more often gal

@Franklydear will do 🤣🤣

Inspired by @Minster2012

@Bea14 he's so much better Thankyou!! He's got a scar and a tiny bit of darkness and swelling still but if you didn't know what had happened you wouldn't notice! Only worrying thing is he's starting to forget little things like he's been completely forgetting his card pin, codes at work etc, he has a follow up app in a couple of weeks so he's going to mention it then and hopefully they'll re scan and it'll just be a little temporary thing with all the trauma! How exciting on the house!! Have you started ordering things for it yet?

@DKDK123 Thankyou lovely!!

@Minster2012 yess I remember that!! I said to OH no house is baby proof when you don't have a baby? Why would it be? You make it baby proof once you have the baby😂 I keep seeing rainbows today and it's giving me hope for you!!

@larrythelizard Thankyou! Yasss go you going to the gym when rough! How was the family party?x

@Justanothercyster Thankyou! How're you getting on? How many weeks left now?x

@whatwonder glad everything is okay xx

@paintfairy hahaha well most of them are pregnant or had babies and it was an easy ride for them so they don't understand!! In all fairness this friend is usually super sensitive and is really good, I don't think she realised what she said was insensitive, and I think if she knew it pissed me off she'd be so apologetic and be really upset about it! Well done on the injection, you can do this girl💪🏽

@bez91 literally nothing!! I'm nervous because it's like we need something because the new owners of ours will need to be moving in, I'm trying to stay calm but that's proving difficult😂

@Kirky658 Thankyou!! How're you and Alice?x

@clolo amazing line! So so happy for you! Congratulations❤️

@Juno231 typical you get a cold now!! Buttt are you excited to start the new job??

@DKDK123 im sorry to read your update but I'm still keeping everything crossed and hoping your rainbow bean is just getting extra snuggly in there and is here to stay, sending you love and hugs❤️

Biggg update done!! We went out last night with family and friends for my sisters birthday and it was so nice, everyone had such a good time, I was a bit worried with it being mine and OH's first night out since the incident but he was on such good form and it doesn't seem to have affected him socially at all!! We were a little rough this morning so walked through the park and got a brew and now I'm cooking the roast! We booked Edinburgh for December the other day too so we've planned and booked in a few things to do there which is exciting! Hope everyone is having a lovely Sunday❤️❤️

Just catching up after a trip away to a family party...was feeling smug that I'd avoided a hangover but then passed out on the sofa at 15.00 and now seemingly have a delayed hangover...oh well, bedtime soon!

God now you've all made me want Chinese! DH not hungover so no chance of that!

Well done for starting them @paintfairy, I think just injecting yourself sounds hard enough.

💕💕💕 @DKDK123 16th Oct getting closer and closer lovely. Saw your later update and always happy to chat so just send me a message x

Wow @clolo that is one hell of a blazer! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 sending sticky vibes! And congrats!!

@Juno231 massive good luck for tomorrow!

Go your DH being so engaged on reading up on it @Franklydear!

@Juno231 all the best for tomorrow, go smash it girl! (Or alternatively read through loads of policies/e-learning on pointless subjects which is usually the case of first weeks. Maternity policy preferably 😉)

@Vil10 I’m sure you’ll find something and if you don’t you’ll find a way to make it work. That's what we had to do. Great to hear your DH is back on top form, must have been a worry but all credit to him for not letting something like that dampen him 🙌🏼

Those hangovers are the worst @larrythelizard they creep up on you and lead you into a false sense of security. Hopefully you can sleep it off!

Love the nails @Franklydear I’m having mine done this week, need some autumn inspo 🤔

@larrythelizard a late Sunday hangover is not what you need!
@Juno231 oh no. Crap about the cold. The weather change always makes me snuffly but I've not had a cold since before lockdown. Which suits me. I hope you don't feel too bad for your first day. Nothing worse!
@Catherinettc good to hear from you!

Just checking @clolo that's a great line!!

@Franklydear loving the nails

@Catherinettc we had a self harmer here too, he's survived 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️and 12 hours?! Bloody hell (do you sleep that long too?!) I swear we get worse as we get older

@Vil10 there are loads of rainbows around today! It's a good day 🌈🌈you make sure OH doesn't forget to mention the forgetting 🤪absolutely right on the baby proofing when you have a baby

@larrythelizard my hangovers tend to come on at about 11, sneaky bastards and then you end up feeling sick /being sick. That might just be me though 🤣

@Juno231 ahhhh you'll smash it this week, like @bez91 says the first week is actually easy, it's the second week when the work hits! Are you working in office?

@paintfairy 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️ it's good to get on for a chat :)

@Minster2012 God no never 12 for me lol. I'm not a good sleeper at all and always up before him wish I could do 12 hours though lol xx

@Catherinettc I think the sleep peaks at teenage & then uni years then declines throughout adult hood. Shame that 😩

Soooo...

DH just criticised me for eating 3 crackers with black bomber cheddar on (Ok they were big Peter yard ones)

THEN he went on to eat over half a full bar of milka happy cows (my favourite choc bar other than malteasers) AND he complained about the white chocolate bits on it (don't eat it then, it's mine)

AIBU to LTB??

@clolo yay congratulations! Fantastic line x

@paintfairy glad you got your meds at last but sorry they are hard work. Ouch. Needles is definitely in the cons list for ivf 😬

@DKDK123 hope you are doing ok. Sounds really confusing x

@Minster2012 MAFS was so all over the place! What a cock up. Mind yourself, we cannot have you falling down stairs!

So nice to hear @Djmum83 has had her baby, she had a tough pregnancy.

@kaylsd yes don't leave us hanging! I'm 13dpo now and you were a few days ahead so hope the witch has stayed away 🙏

Good luck tomorrow @Juno231 hope the cd isn't too bad

Tired and hanging so just a quick look at the bus and yes @Minster2012 deffo LTB...who would leave the white choc bits?!

@Minster2012 LTB!!!

@clolo 💕💕💕 congratulations

@DKDK123 deep breaths and positive vibes in your direction darling, praying this is your time xx

@blackcurrantqueen @larrythelizard he's clearly a heathen 🤣🤪

@Manifestingbaby I know right??!! Is it Australia starting tonight too??

@DKDK123 imagine if you had a mystic son and you end up having a little girl called Emily how amazing would that be! 🥺 least it’s a cute name from him not something off a random cartoon he’s seen like igglepiggle for instance 🤣 glad to hear they are doing face to face appointments with the midwife and not in a GP bubble like they are still up here 👀 proud to hear your making little steps in confidence with this hopefully here to stay sticky bean🤞🏻🤞🏻
@Somatronic good luck for your repeat scan today I hope everything is going or has gone in the right direction for your follicles :) I wouldn’t worry too much into it 🤞🏻
@franklydear I know exactly the feeling where you think that another month passes by n think fuck it there’s always next time then the next time comes 🙈 that’s good to hear about your DS at school 🥺🙌🏻
@clolo congratulations on your BFP praying for a sticky bean for you 🥰🥰
@Minster2012 absolutely loving the rainbow signs, saw one at the lakes at the weekend and should have took a photo of it but no doubt I was a little bit tippled to remember 🤣
@DMB91 any AF or any BFP yes missus? 🤞🏻
Loving the nail inspiration on here ladies I’m taking my nail polish off today as I return to work for 6 in a row after 10 days off, gonna be a long few days 😫😫😫
@Vil10 what a bitchy thing for your friend to say!! Is she one of those where it just comes out like word vomit and she doesn’t realise what she actually says sometimes? Hopefully your OH has a good sample for you 🤞🏻hope he’s recovering well from everything and well done on the promotion hopefully start of good things ahead for you both xx
@whatwonder hopefully the cramps was just your little bean getting nice and snuggly where they should be for you but it’s good news that they are booking a reassurance scan just incase for you 🤞🏻
@paintfairy here’s to the next chapter with your meds now been here I hope they haven’t been too painful over the injection sites but it’s all exciting for you now as it’s very much real as it’s been a stress for you to get to this point
@Juno231 I wish it was me but sadly it must have been someone else, my insta is usually photos of DH +/- Dog photos and food pics 🤣🥺 maybe one day 🤞🏻

Tried to do the best catch up I could ladies as ive been away for the last 4 days at tattershall lakes, enjoyed it one day just rained all dayyyyy but it’s just confirmed for my and DH that our next break will be aboard we’ve not been now since 2019 because of the pandemic and we didn’t even have a honeymoon as we couldn’t fly anywhere we it’s gonna be a belated nice one nice year potentially a baby moon who knows the possibility is there! As for my update.. AF came which is good and sad, good that it’s not my typical long cycle and I pinpointed the time where I ovulated so I know my body’s pretty much back to normal now since starting metformin but sad that another months passed and another cycle starts and it’s likely now linked more towards DH situation why it’s not happening naturally but it is what it is! Mable our pooch also came into season at tattershall so DH was complaining he was surrounding by bleeding bitches all the time 🤣🤣🤣 he has an appointment confirmed on the 11/11 for urology for review of his varicocele so I’m hoping for steps forward that way for him :) I had minimal signal so it’s took me a while to catch up! Hope everyone’s well 😘

For those who watch MAFSUK have they aired the final yet as the repeated the same episode? Also has anyone watched squid games? Me and DH binged watched 5 episodes in one evening we couldn't stop watching it as it was so strange 🤣🤣

Here's our mabes chilling at a pub living the high life 🍷🍷 forgot to attach xoxo

@kaylsd what a beautiful dog!

@Vil10 I'm so glad that OH is doing well.

Great to see all the updates. Sorry am too deflated to add much. Last Friday I had 2 follicles around 10/11mm and today I have 1 at 11mm. I have no idea why they're not growing. I have to go back on Thursday which means my boss will be wondering why I have had 3 medical appointments in a week. I'll have to try to fob her off. Hopefully something happens in the next few days. I responded so well last month. I'm very confused.
