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

Just realised it's not called the wonky donkey thread, just donkey, I renamed it that. 🙈 😆

@paintfairy bloodyhell that’s bonkers you’d have though technology would have move on. It’s like the million pound game on The Cube when you have to count so many objects in so many seconds! 🤪

@Somatronic good news on trigger day tomorrow, can you take ice packs into work to help?

@feliznavidad2 wonky donky? 🤣

@Minster2012 @paintfairy @Somatronic thanks ladies it's this afternoon 😬 . I'd booked DD in for an extra session at nursery so we can go, just dropped her off in a doctors outfit because I thought it was "people who help us day" apparently I'm a week early 🤦🏼‍♀️ poor child 😂

@bez91 I'm not even worried about the pain, it's that I'm a chicken about stabbing myself. My best friend works across the square from my work and has offered to do it for me if I need so that's the backup plan.
I'm laughing at the little doctor. Poor kid 🤣

@Minster2012 sorry about the sociopath comment! Your cheese talk inspired me to have crackers, brie, serrano ham and grapes for lunch. Yum.

@feliznavidad2 I was thinking about joining that thread but I thought there might be specific criteria so I didn't. I thought maybe you had to be doing IVF or trying for X amount of time maybe.

I'm procrastinating like a mad woman today cos I have so much to do 😵

Back earlier than planned from weekend away as DS not very well - quiet afternoon in front of the TV coming up!

Feel like I'm late to the party but should explain that I love pretty much all cheese but it hates me and therefore I only eat vegan cheese. Quite a lot of in depth research so if you want to know which ones to avoid, I'm your girl! 🧀🫕🪤

Sending love and a handhold @clolo horrible to have to wait so long.

@Kirky658 I think that's a positive step that you can feel the difference or being on meds and not being on meds.

@Franklydear well done your DS - once again smashing it out of the park!

@Minster2012 how do I get on the invite list for dinner at yours, looked amazing on insta!

Man that's such a headfuck @paintfairy! Sperm video is cool but wow what a job!

Oh good @Somatronic, pain in the arse timing (quite literally) but pleased you're there. Could DH pop into work to see you to help?

It sucks @Juno231. Not long til starting the IVF ball rolling though?

I think you've just categorised yourself as having an under 5 there @feliznavidad2 😂

That would be what I'd do @bez91 although DS sadly still no interest in dressing up other than his builders hat. Here to provide support from your pocket 👋🏼

@Somatronic don't worry I didn't take it badly! Your lunch sounds fab 🧀😁good having a back up option

@bez91 good idea, and don't worry I did EXACTLY the same last week X was doing the "splashathon" in his water babies swimming where they were meant to be dressed y as superhero's & raising money for Tommy's. So I duly sent him off with DH to swimming last week dressed as Spider-Man. He was v excited. Turned up and no one else dressed as superhero's & he then caused tantrums as others were jealous of him being dressed up 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️😬#mumfail
In my defence last week I got 3 emails about it throughout the week saying "the splashathon is coming" then "the splashathon is nearly here", then this week (before the ACTUAL day) I got no emails 🤣. We did raise over £200 though

@feliznavidad2 I like your title! When's the next investigations? Is it the repeat scan?

@Bundaberg84 I thought you meant hold out a couple of days on getting a puppy!! Both maybe

@larrythelizard any time you are around East Yorkshire I'm here!! Loving the support from your pocket comment ❤️🤗

@feliznavidad2 wonky donkey is a phrase I use when things go tits up 🤣

So we had an exciting day yesterday. Alice projectile vomited yellow sick, hadn't pooed for 3 days and was really upset. Rang 111 and they said it might be serious and a gp would ring ASAP. 4 hrs later, I rang them again and finally a nurse rang me. We got an out of hours appt, she had a good check over and thank god she was just constipated and given some medication. Going back to the hospital triggered me so badly, I had a panic attack!

@Minster2012 haha yes, I think I'll be able to hold out longer getting a puppy though :)

Oh no @Kirky658 you poor thing and Alice too, it's so hard these things especially when you don't know what's wrong but you did exactly the right thing 💓

@Bundaberg84 yeah that makes sense, my SIL is finding it pretty tough I have to say

Despite your DS not being well is it a welcome end @larrythelizard guessing by your IG posts?

@Minster2012 glad I'm not the only one 😂

@feliznavidad2 @Kirky658 I think wonky donkey is a children's book about an ugly donkey too. Glad Alice is ok @Kirky658 and it's nothing serious!

I got good news today, we're still a bit shocked but maybe half starting to believe. There was a baby in there moving around and measuring ahead so EPU have discharged me to under the 'normal pregnancy' procedure 🙂

It's so hard when they're ill @Kirky658 - DH always has to talk me down (I was quite worried about DS last night!)

Yes exactly not the end of the world @bez91...I think my Dad is somewhere on the autistic spectrum, he finds being out of his routine and sudden changes to plans very tricky. Also think he found DS exhausting 😂

I'll take you up on that one day @Minster2012

@Bundaberg84 9dpo is nothing, wait until double digits at least?!

@bez91 I saw on insta and am thrilled for you. Will they move your NHS 12 week scan forwards based on those measurements?

@bez91 yessss!!!!! Fab news ❤️❤️❤️

@larrythelizard ah yes I will. I usually only test at 12dpo or so. Ideally after AF was due but that takes all I got 😉

I always find it funny @larrythelizard when you stay with ppl & then they are unleashed the full energy/entertainment needs of a toddler (from like 14 months on I guess) where it's CONSTANT & they are like 😳😳😳wow! (I'm hoping it's not just mine!) and def take me up on it!

@bez91 we believe 🥰🥳🤩

@Bundaberg84 if you make it to after AF due then you get a high five!

Great news @bez91! How many weeks are you now then?

@Minster2012 I'll try my best 🤞

Thanks ladies, you're an amazing support 🥰 I'm so so grateful.

Hope your DS is now on the mend @larrythelizard are you off work the rest of the week? The 12 week scan is not booked yet, seeing the midwife tomorrow for my booking appointment but they'll probably go off the new date I imagine. @Haiyaa 9+2 🙂

Amazing news @bez91 🤩 🙌🏻

@Minster2012 repeat scan yep, to check the endo cyst. Had an AMH blood test done the other day as suggested by private consultant and result was 37 🤷‍♀️ not really sure what to think as apparently it's very good for my age, just don't know what that means in real life and how that can benefit or impact on the err current situation.

Fantastic news @bez91 are we officially allowed to say congratulations now? 🥳

Ooooooo yes is it the "C" time @bez91?!

How you feeling @DKDK123 is it still holiday time?

37 is great @feliznavidad2 means your egg reserves are strong and healthy (just need that bloody perfect egg to pop out & meet it's match 🤣) so have you had the scan yet or this week?

I've got my scan booked for Sunday 😬
8 weeks today & still feeling basically normal (not pregnant) just got twinges & fuller boobs but they aren't sore now (double D's anyway so DH Is like 😳😳😳) so I'm trying to be pleased 🤞🏻

@Minster2012 we're back now, had an amazing time away but the 4 hour car trip home with a 3 year old who was cranky was not fun in the slightest!
I'm ok, we have our scan on Saturday and Im going in expecting bad news, if we get good news it's a happy bonus, I've officially shelved the idea of being pregnant out my head, DH however is still very much optimistic. All pregnancy symptoms have still gone despite being very prominent at the start. I have been up since 3am this morning being randomly sick but there is a sickness bug going around so it could just be that. Luckily it's a nursery day so I could send DS into nursery today while I'm like the walking dead 🧟‍♀️
Shall walk into the weekend holding hands with you as I know you'll be needing it too

@bez91 🥳 Brilliant news.
@DKDK123 its difficult but I've still got my fingers crossed for you. Saturday isn't long, yet seems forever away when you are waiting like that.
@Minster2012 not long for you to wait either! I eagerly await the update!
@Kirky658 flipping heck. What a panic! I'm pleased she's OK. But yeah a very stressful situation and I think anyone would be in a flap.

Still spotting over here. But my RHR has dropped. Come on AF......
Although it's my WA today. We are going for a meal tonight. Had to laugh- apparently DH couldn't think of anything cotton to buy me so he bought flowers. 💐 🤣

Oooo-errrr not sure about the C word @DKDK123 and @Minster2012 but thankyou 😊 still absolutely routing for you Saturday @DKDK123 🙏🏼

37 is very good @feliznavidad2

What's AF messing about at @paintfairy ? Oooh happy wedding anniversary, eating out anywhere nice tonight? Can't knock a man for trying I suppose, at least he remembered 😉

I've just sat in my car all morning 30 miles away from home 😩, so bored. Every system is down at work so can't access emails which I have hundreds of or find out where my appointments are. They've suggested people take flexi leave rest of the day... nope not my problem it's costing them thousand every hour it's down 💁🏼‍♀️

@paintfairy happy anniversary! Cotton is a nightmare, DH got me Egyptian cotton towels 🤣

Heyyy girls!! Feel like it's been ages since I came on but realistically think it's only been like 5 days, I've just had a crazy busy time recently and with no TTC updates either! OH went to Scotland with his friends on Sunday, they've hired a camper and are doing the north coast 500 and I'm at my mums looking after her dogs whilst her and my dad are in Greece! I forgot how demanding and high maintenance pups are, a lot more hard work than my two dogs definitely!! I feel like this week has been so full on and busy and everything has gone wrong and it's only Tuesday!! Literally counting down the days until a brow and lash pamper on Thursday then I'm off out on Saturday for a friends birthday to a city where they have a street that has loads of bars and pubs with live music then on the other side is stalls for beer and street food and it's also Oktoberfest so big pints!!

@Minster2012 OH's SA is on Monday morning, he's off too so that helps, hopefully we should have the results back before the weekend and then we'll know where we stand, I just can't be arsed with if they're bad having to go another 3 months knowing nothing will happen until he can do his sample again! In 3 months time it'll be 1 month off TTC for 2 years which is upsetting! How're you getting on in yourself and all the house progress??

@DKDK123 @clolo been thinking about you both this last week or so, how're you getting on?❤️

@bez91 absolutely amazing news!! So happy for you❤️

@Kirky658 oh that doesn't sound fun!! Poor you and poor Alice!! I hope she's better now? And remember to look after yourself too❤️

@paintfairy happy anniversary!! Hope you have a lovely night tonight🥂

Called Drs yesterday for results of FSH and LH blood test.. ‘normal’.
Telephone call booked with Dr for Thursday morning to see where we go from here 🤷‍♀️
CD47 today (if my two days of light spotting was a period) double checked yesterday BFN.
I didn’t realise TTC would be this mentally exhausting!
