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

Try not to worry @Minster2012, could just be ligament pain I got them from early on (before BFP and was a reason I thought I might be pregnant) and still get them. Usually linked to when I have twisted/bent or tried to get up too quickly. If it was tied to the movement then could just be that. Take it easy for a bit and just try to be mindful of your movements- I’m moving like I’m in my third trimester already!

Sorry but hoping list errors aren’t premonitions as I’m on the passenger list but not on bumps and babies! I’d like to keep my bump as it is thanks!

The day of the static smiley face has arrived (my surge must come on so quickly, only got my first flashing smile yesterday). Not must warning!

Hope you're ok @Minster2012 x

@Minster2012 Newquay was beautiful but I wanted to just be at home in all honesty and felt so guilty all weekend.
I was asleep in the caravan Saturday so they went out without me for a few hours and when we went to the beach Sunday I felt so ill I was asleep in the back of the camper while they enjoyed the sea and beach, OH was great and took them in the sea and gave me space. But it was a horrible drive home felt like forever- as much as I love our adventures I'm so glad we don't have any now for a while, I need my bed and home and comfort.
Oh is tired and grumpy, and doesn't understand how ill I feel which is frustrating me a bit but I understand he can't feel what I feel or understand how I feel right now. I don't think it's actually sunk in yet for him tbh.

Kids are both really pleased and the youngest (autistic one) hours after finding out started making name lists... 🤣🤦🏽‍♀️ I've explained to them it's very early and we weren't going to tell them yet but due to my sickness and how tired and short I am at the minute we didn't have much choice.

I've had to message my boss this morning pretty much asking if I can work from home for the short term (we are supposed to be in office 2 days a week at the min then 3 from Oct) as I can't face the office at the minute now I'm actually being sick... thankfully he has said that's fine.

Awwww that's good on your boss and WFH @Lexber, you need hone comforts and chilling for winter. Keen to hear what your DC had on the name list!!

@feliznavidad2 static whoop whoop!! You must def have a short surge, but taking you covered yesterday too? On the flashing?? So like 4 days in a row from yesterday would be great 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@larrythelizard thank you, here's hoping it's that, just having a right wobble & feeling like anything I do is wrong

@Haiyaa Thanks for the reassurance, I'm trying to tell myself it could be a good sign but I'm just so on edge and it's prob my fault on the wrong list I'm sorry 🤦🏼‍♀️

Just done a bit of work in bed whilst watching MAFS from last night now walking the dogs in the sunshine again we have it beautiful. There are 2 deer in the field next to me it's very serene. One of the dogs has just spotted them 🙄
I shall try stay calm on the pain, head in the sand n all

Old House completing today so that's good. Just need to go drop keys off and put a little something in for the buyers

@Minster2012 as both my girls names begin with A (not planned at all as the eldest was know as he shortened name not main name when I had youngest) the youngest has decided we MUST have an A name...

@larrythelizard I've ended up sacking it off today! Had to either leave home at 5:45 or not go and I've only just started catching up on sleep so I swerved it! I have netball tonight though so that sorta makes up for it and I'll walk the dogs! Ooo love a longline one!!

@Juno231 Thankyou! I can imagine it being hard to go for walks when wfh though so you do well to still get some in!!

@Minster2012 hahaha ring up for my bloods "I can confirm you're obsessed with shackets and your progesterone is shit" Thankyou😂

@Franklydear how good is it! And on the back too!

@gcat16 mine were for starting investigations, id like to say I'm pretty confident I ovulate due to cm and opks and stuff but suppose you can never be sure unless you have tests! I had all my initial bloods done 2 months ago and all were fine and they said my progesterone was consistent with ovulation but other women on here have mentioned that their doctors said it had to be higher, but af arrived 3/4 days after I had my bloods so think thats why it could've been slightly low! So they've done it again and if it's low they'll do it a third time!

@Minster2012 try not to worry, your lovely walk will hopefully take your mind off it all🤞🏼 yasss on completing on the house!!

@lexber great news on the WFH!
@minster2012 hope you're OK, second the round ligament pains, I had them really early on and man they hurt so bad, about 6 weeks in
@vil10 how you'd usually start the day at 5:45 amazes me 😂 for the gym I assume?

Having a chilled day at home with Al today, our Internet keeps going down so have the sky engineer coming today between 1 and 6.... Great window 😅

Sounds a sensible decision @Vil10, leaving home at 05.45 is insane! I'm also playing netball tonight but game not until 21.30 which is far too late for me!

Report
Minster2012 · 21/09/2021 17:37

Thanks ladies, I shall look at round ligament pain, I thought that 5 weeks (tomorrow) would be much too early for that

@Vil10 errrrrr 5.45 for the gym???? You are insane 😂. Please do call the doctors for your progesterone & shacket obsession 🙌🏻

@larrythelizard why on Earth is the game at 9.30 tonight??? That's also insane!! Should be tucked up in bed 🤣

Do I had my knee appointment & they waggled it around again, so in pain again but not nearly like before so they have referred me to physio & given me a couple of exercises to start with so that's good.

House completed late around 3pm and on the way back from hospital I sneakily went past to see if they were there & they were moving in. 🙌🏻I don't feel sad I feel happy which is good

@larrythelizard oh god that is late, I'll be asleep by then tonight 😂

Yayyy @Minster2012 great news on the house all being sorted, big relief! Hope you get your physio appointment through quickly, will they go through with that all through pregnancy though?

Been busy since 6am and been the duty person at work which involves answering 20,000 stupid questions from stupid people. Hoping DH gets a call out later just so I can get a bit of peace 🙄

@Minster2012 yay for completing! And also that your knee is on the mend. Agree that 21.30 is far too late, I was terrible last week, my brain and arms were not connected!

@bez91 busy days mean days that pass quickly right though?!

Oh annoying that he knows @Franklydear. When's CD30? The weekend?

Just marking my place ladies so I can find u all ❤

Just chilling today after travelling 13 hours during the night so I'm knackered. Visiting my eldest daughter in Liverpool and did the night boat which would have been fine if the cabins weren't sold out 🤦‍♀️ 8 hour overnight boat journey and no cabin with an 18 week old baby and 14 year old girl was a nightmare. Ended up in the movie room cos they turn the lights out and we slept on the floor. God my bones all hurt now but needs must as I had a 2 hour drive once off the ferry 🤦‍♀️ next time I'm booking well in advance so we can get a cabin (had one on the way over there and it was brilliant, had a shower and ensuite etc)

Hope all u lovely ostriches are doing good 👍 ❤ xx

@larrythelizard no, cd23 today so still a while, specially annoying as he knows about my loss so he’ll put it together, unfortunately I have to tell him early as there are parts of the job I wouldn’t want to do pregnant, ...
@Catherinettc I’ve done ferries without a cabin, once and no more, feel you
@Kirky658 thank you, I feel ok again, just really queasy for a couple of hours, then sick then queasy again, bet it’s the fucking progesterone, I think I am only 9 dpo...

@bez91 the consultant today seemed to think physio wasn't a problem through pregnancy & probably needed to ensure it gets better not worse in case of, well, you know, putting weight on 🤣😂I just told DH to go for a walk as he's really twitchy down I hope you get your call out for yours! One more sleep Bez!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Franklydear is he still staying out of your way? And I don't mean just when vomiting 🤣

@larrythelizard my brain and arms aren't often connected I think 🤣

@Kirky658 omg I'd be fuming. Tell them you have a young baby too & you know if you can sleep an appointment within 48hours of it you get charged...wouldn't be good if you get a credit instead?? Seeing as it's their fault & no word

Bloody hell @Catherinettc you've done well to stay sane during that tbh I wouldn't 🤣

@Franklydear these are colleagues which is worse 🤦🏼‍♀️ sorry to hear of the sickness 🙁 7 days to go!

@larrythelizard that is very true 🙌🏼 I will be thinking of your brain and arms at 9:30 tonight, what position do you play? Being a lizard I'll hazard a guess at WA, that's definitely what a lizard would be 😆

Oh wow @Catherinettc that sounds hellish! Well done on getting through, not fun at all your body must be in bits.

@Minster2012 that's good! Argggh I know, glad I've been busy today. Feel a bit more nervous than last week as it's like unlikely to be a "we don't know" scenario now they have a 'baseline' to compare to so more a yay or nay 😐

@Kirky658 I feel your pain. Our annual gas inspection has been rescheduled 3 times... they keep giving us a timeframe e.g. 12-5pm and then never bother turning up 😠 hate that companies can do that! Hope you get your Internet sorted soon. I'm going to miss my internet provider whenever I move from here. I'm with Hyperoptic and they are brilliant but unfortunately not widely available.

@Minster2012 glad you've sorted the old house and you can focus entirely on the new one now. Try not to worry about any pains they are definitely common even from the early weeks. In fact I'd say I had more of the round ligament pain etc in the early weeks/months and don't get any now. It's all in my damn leg now 😅
