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

@Minster2012 @Juno231
FSH was 6.4, LH was 19.
Now being told I have to wait until it's 6months before they'll do anything else.
Have been referred to gyne for a separate issue but was told to mention it to them.

@Vil10 🤣 Quick tug. And if his SA is OK you'll be in the same boat as most of us on here. There is no answer.
@Minster2012 I think I'm a terrible wife. I never sort mine out. 🤣 All he ever says about ivf or babies is- but can we have sex? I'm like- you do realise i won't want to? And he says yes he's joking. But I'm not so sure. 🤣 I know I'm not going to want to after AF ends because of the drugs. Usually I'm only bothered in FW. And before it came one night in bed I was like- stop touching me. I'm irritable. 🤪 Poor bloke.
@bez91 all systems go! Or not in this occasion. Enjoy the tv whilst you can. 😁
@Kirky658 clearly they need to do something though. So definitely go back if you aren't happy.

The Scottish system might save time in that respect but it doesn't seem any better over all. I know someone that's been trying to move there all year. The first one fell through in the end (they gave up, walked away and started again because there was just no progress) and the same thing seems to be happening again! House moving is just a nightmare. Our system is ridiculous full stop.

@Kirky658 sorry to hear the hospital trip with Alice was triggering glad your mum was there to support you. Reflux can be so hard to deal with as it leaves you feeling quite helpless when they're crying and can't be consoled. DS had really bad reflux and constipation as a baby, I was told its particularly common in premmie babies as their digestive system is still so immature and has had to try get used to processing milk earlier than it normally would and they quite often have wee kinks in their intestines that need time to smooth out as they grow bigger. To be honest I tried every massage and lotion and potion under the sun frantically googling my way through ways to help him but realistically the only thing that really helped was time, their wee body's eventually do get better at processing things so just hang on in there and lean on your family for support to get through this difficult patch. You've got this!

@franklydear glad to hear your DS doesn't have covid (hopefully he doesn't have asthma either). There is a particularly bad cold going around at the moment, DS has had it for about 3 weeks now but I think we're finally coming out the other end of it. A lot of people I know who've had it have taken 3-4weeks for it to clear. Think with being in lockdown last winter the colds are particularly nasty this year.

@Vil10 the 2 year mark is a hard one to reach. Hoping its not too much longer for your happy ending. Love your OHs shower wank comment, he's dedicated to the cause at least 😂

@bez91 at least your works incompetence has worked in your favour. Enjoy the rest as much as you can.

Sorry to hear about the witch's arrival @bundaberg84. Go treat yourself to something nice today.

I've been going to bed around 8.30pm the past few nights, dont know if its an exhausted symptom or just exhausted thinking about everything likewise been feeling nauseous and know it could be either cause. I want Saturday to hurry up and arrive put me out of my misery and equally don't want it to arrive as I don't want to know 🙈

Quick tug 😂😂😂 @Vil10. Hang in there, your time will come, keep the faith.

@bez91 I could sell your employers something to help with that...! Although I think that the way you're 'having' to work sounds much better.

@Kirky658 it's so tough when they're poorly. Could it be a milk protein allergy? I know little ones who come a bit early often struggle more with their digestive system.

Definitely won't hurt @Bundaberg84

Hope it's not asthma @Franklydear - so many bugs about at the moment.

I'm seriously hopeful for you @DKDK123 - happy to provide all the hope for simba while you just keep plodding through the days.

I made it to London, met a load of people, had a few wines and don't think I made an idiot of myself...was tipSy but not drunk. Too many wines to drive home from the station so had to get a taxi and go and rescue my car this morning. Made it to the gym this morning which I'm pleased with myself about!

@Vil10 that tugging story is hilarious 😂

@Bundaberg84 sorry about AF. Hope you're OK. Mine came early last month too and I found it hard.

I had to wake up at 6am for my fertility clinic mandated ride this morning. Fair play to DH he did most of the work. I'm the world's sleepiest person so having to wake up at that hour for that purpose was not fun. I got another snooze in anyway afterwards. We have to go again tonight if DH is able for it!

My best friend is being induced tomorrow and I have my niece's christening so it'll be all babies and baby talk. I feel OK though, so long as nobody asks me any stupid questions.

@dmb91 your results actually indicate you might have pcos? FSH and LH should be roughly in a 1:1 ratio and having triple LH is a criteria for pcos! So definitely speak to your doctor again! Have you had a scan as well?

@dkdk123 thank you ❤️
@larrythelizard the doctor mentioned a milk protein allergy yesterday but said unlikely as she's been suffering since I exclusively fed breast milk.

@Somatronic pahhhhaaaaa was up for before 6 not for nuptials! So jealous of your nap already 🤣glad you can navigate the baby chat

@larrythelizard provides all the hope for us all!

And the trip to London sounds perfect! Ooooo @larrythelizard you could sort @bez91's company out 🤣

@Kirky658 oh damn it, it's really hard when you feel you can't help them I also felt awful & like I was a failure but I wasn't & you definitely aren't

@Franklydear Ive got a DS with a very chesty chest atm, it's not fun but I also think he might have asthma (DH has it but nowhere as bad as yours)

@DKDK123 we are both counting down days and I totally understand what you mean about wanting it to come but not, but I'm hoping the exhaustion is a good sign

@paintfairy DH should be pleased he's had more BJs than for a long time but course he's not Cos we both want sex tbh but I'm definitely not. You work it out when you get there don't stress about it! Interesting what you say about the Scottish system

I'm with @Juno231 @dmb91 they seem a little off & I'd def mention to the gynae person

@Bundaberg84 sorry about early AF, and definitely on the massages, I'm all for things that relax and could potential help

Well after an early wake up making my day MUCH longer with DS we've managed to achieve lots, and this afternoon we have been at MILs for nearly 2.5 hours & DS has just been playing the entire time so...shock horror...I've solidly done extra work!! Boom!! Which is great as I've a busy day tomorrow with a hair appointment then picking up DS for his mates party! So that will get another day done! 🙌🏻💪🏻

I know some mums have to give up dairy when they're breast feeding because their little ones can't cope with the dairy that comes through @Kirky658 (I'm no expert though...)

6am scheduled sex is mad @Somatronic but whatever works right 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ooh good hair appt tomorrow will be nice @Minster2012 - are you a head massage fan or not? I always find it really cringe and hate it if they don't ask because i DO NOT want it 😂

@Kirky658 my friend also had to cut dairy out of her diet when BF

@larrythelizard my hairdresser is actually pretty good at the head massage so I like it, there was one that was awful and I actually told her she was being too rough 🤣

Hopefully is just a cold, he never showed other signs
@Minster2012 impressed with your organizational skills
@Kirky658 I know two women who had to stop dairy when breastfeeding, and you are a wonderful mum, never forget that
@larrythelizard luckily, my hairdresser is my friend, and she knows I don't like people to touch me
@DKDK123 nearly there, I have faith
Cd 23, I think, starting with pms, not hopeful

@Vil10 loving your dh, dedicated

@Kirky658 I exclusively breastfed DD and she was admitted at 6 weeks with blood in her nappies, found to be cows milk allergy and I had to cut dairy from my diet. It’s less common and usually means it’s more severe so complete BS for them to tell you it can’t be that. If meds don’t work ask for a month trial of dairy free formula.

@haiyaa @minster2012 @franklydear @larrythelizard thanks all. She has told me to go back to the gp in 2 weeks if no improvement with the meds given and for the gp to consider testing for that so just a waiting game now.

Hopefully the meds will help @Kirky658 abs you won't have to go back 🤞🏻

Why thank you @Franklydear 🥳🙌🏻

May have just accidentally had (gentle) sex with DH. It wasn't even him coming onto me, it was me 🤪🤦🏼‍♀️but bloody hell it was good 😜

No bleeding (yet) 🤞🏻🤞🏻😬

Anyone watching the Myleene Klass MC programme? Man I am a mess 😭

How do you accidentally have sex @Minster2012? Did you fall on it 🍆🤣🤣🤣🤣 no bleeding is good though!

@Minster2012 it can happen to the best of us 😂

So my friend is in labour. Our other bestie keeps texting me about how awful the birth will probably be because every day of the pregnancy was so awful. Sorry, she had sickness and periods of bad pains in her pelvis but she didn't work throughout most of the pregnancy and it could have been worse. She had no dodgy scans, or high blood pressure or gestational diabetes but still insisted it was the worst pregnancy ever. I feel like she complained a lot (like even about things that I know aren't a big deal like internal scans) and she didn't do much to help herself because she's stubborn.

Anyway I felt like my friend was goading me a bit tonight by repeatedly talking about how awful everything is for the friend in labour repeatedly even though I wasn't agreeing. So I didn't say anything bad but just said lots of people unfortunately have these issues and hopefully the birth will be fine.

I know I'm also bitter because she was totally insensitive to my situation throughout and never once asked about what we're going through. But she complained when other friends didn't check in with her enough!

So now I feel bad about that seeming indifferent in the convention tonight but I also recognise that the other friend seemed to be pushing me - I don't know why.

Sorry for ranting.

Sorry, last paragraph makes no sense there. Here's what I was trying to say -

So now I feel bad about seeming indifferent in the conversation tonight but I also recognise that the other friend seemed to be pushing me into saying something - I don't know why.

@Somatronic it did make sense. And I hate it when people do that. Definitely best to just ignore it I think and don't get drawn in.
@Minster2012 fell on it. 🤣🤣

@2020mission hahaha I'm impressed he managed it too!! Ooo exciting on the house front!!

@bez91 hahaha I said the same thing!! Hope none of the others were in the shower next to him🤣 definitely, don't want to buy something thst isn't right, we'll end up hating it!! Sounds like you had a good day working from bed!

@Minster2012 a sex pest🤣 did he end up sorting himself out??😂 woooo yassss to 🍆

@Kirky658 he is funny!! How's Alice today??

@Bundaberg84 so sorry af arrived x

@paintfairy it's a joke isn't it!! How can it be unexplained ffs!

@DKDK123 Thankyou lovely! How're you feeling?x

@larrythelizard he's got such a way with words hasn't he😂 yess to going to the gym after a few wines last night, you go girl!

@Somatronic hahaha it definitely made me laugh!! Waking up for a sleepy bonk, love it😂

@Franklydear he managed another one this morning too😂

@Vil10 one must suffer
@Minster2012 isn’t that the excuse of affairs? accidental sex....😂
@Somatronic disengage, people like that isn’t worth it, not long ago bossboy was telling me how busy he is, not enough hours on the day, he’s sleep deprived.... my simple answer, as the working mother of a disabled child I wouldn’t know, shut him up, sometimes you have to

Cd 24, people, things should get moving soon

Yep fell on it, that's what I'm gonna tell the judge oooppppps and yeah @Franklydear it just kind of "happened Cos he kissed me passionately" so maybe like many affairs, except he's stuck with me 😁

@Somatronic you have nothing to feel bad for at all. The friend wanted you to be nasty with her which is mean so you were the bigger person however the one in labour is being a tit. I'm sorry your friends aren't sensitive to you, that sucks. I have one like that & I just smile & nod.

Happy Friday ppl!

Thanks for the advice @minster2012 @franklydear and @paintfairy

Happy Friday! I woke up to a picture of a pregnancy scan belonging to colleague. Both members of the couple work with me and started their relationship when he was married to someone else and had 2 children. He also said "baby Smith" in the post, using his surname and not hers even though they're not married (presumably because he's still married to someone else) and the whole thing made me irrationally angry! I don't care that they're not married it's just typical of him to make the announcement, use his name etc because he's a bollocks and she's very meek.

Also, I had mute both of them due to chronic oversharing so it's extra annoying that I somehow saw this today. Kissing pics and soppy messages to one another - you're probably sitting beside each other on the couch as you write the post. Tell her how much you love her, not the entire world, asshole 🙄

Parents evening yesterday and got the first report, good or outstanding on everything, with minimal help in class, head of year congratulated him in a great transition

@Minster2012 affairlike sex is the best, like when you have to sneak around...
@Somatronic just ignore and be glad it's not you
Have the day off today so I thought I'll do some overthinking...
