The weather has definitely turned chilly, so it’s time to hunker down on that Willy 🍆

Its Halloween time full of ghosts and ghouls 👻🎃but will our f*ck boy bodies make us into the fools?

Come on universe we’ve done our time, we’ve had lots of tricks so give us our treats 🐣.

Whether you are TTC “normally”, IUI/ivf or anything we are a crew that cling together to the bitter end & always ready to help a sister out.

It costs an embarrassing story for your ticket, doesn’t have to be TTC related as we know laughing when TTC is needed.

If you see mention of Instagram I have a public account where a lot of people are linked too:
Minstermusings, and a few people have created new anonymous accounts to record their TTC journey/life stupidities m/general annoyances on…just don’t mention TTC on a personal account please!

Bumps & babies who want to keep track of us from our other buses 👀

@Vil10 I would complain anyway, once the referral is off
@Lexber oh my! Two!

Juno231 · 03/11/2021 15:26

@Lexber holy macaroni!! Congratulations! I can't even imagine twins. Is this your first scan btw? Could they tell if the twins are fraternal or identical?

@Minster2012 I'm starting to think you need a cat as well! We can't be arsed with bonfire night this year but definitely think we'd do stuff like that if we had a kid as I think I'm gonna be aallll over traditions

@Juno231 my cat wouldn't be a good idea then, as she brings home birds and mice, all alive. Sometimes snails, they're easier to catch at least ;) and sometimes when she thinks we're too stupid to hunt anything she brings small apples.

Minster2012 · 03/11/2021 16:26

@Juno231 ah yes in theory a great idea except DH hates cats with a passion. And my old cats I used to have with parents were kinda like @Bundaberg84 s where one would bring us all kind of dead "presents" and the other one used to bring us "leaves" and look really proud of itself 😂😂😂

@Lexber 🥰🥰🥰🥰love it!!

@feliznavidad2 there must be a pregnancy spa near you, i mean Christmas is coming right! Or January Blue's?? Yes absolutely each persons choice

@bez91 a rodent screen you say, sounds a bit more technical than the piece of wood I was gonna shove there 😂😂

MrsBiddy · 03/11/2021 18:36

So much to catch up on 😯

I'm currently 8dpo 😞

Had a letter come through in regards to my blood test and ultrasound. It says nothing serious has been detected but I have 2 fibroids, one is 6cm and the other 3cm. They also confirmed pcos in my ultrasound and bloods. (Which I already knew I had)

They have referred me to the fertility team at my local hospital for an appointment for more advice , unless I fell pregnant before then (which I doubt) 🙄

Has anyone had anything kind of appointment before? Xx

InkyPaper · 03/11/2021 18:57

@Lexber twins!! Amazing news! Congratulations!!

InkyPaper · 03/11/2021 19:00

@MrsBiddy I've not, but it sounds like they're pretty on it by referring you, which is good

Bundaberg84 · 03/11/2021 19:30

@Minster2012 they say male cats tend to bring you dead 'presents' to show off, and female live ones because they think they need to teach you how to hunt and are immensely proud of you when you do so.

Somatronic · 03/11/2021 19:53

@MrsBiddy I've had an appointment like that, in Ireland though but presumably they're much the same.

She took my medical history, went through my bloods, ordered more bloods and a hycosy and then I had a followup with a nurse practitioner who started me on letrozole and follicle tracking.

Was grand.

Kirky658 · 03/11/2021 19:54

@vil10 what a twat!!! Hope you're OK x
@minster2012 loving the mouse updates 😂
@lexber omg twinnies!!!! Congratulaitons xx

Somatronic · 03/11/2021 19:57

Oh and she ordered a semen analysis and asked me about my lifestyle and husband's lifestyle and all that normal jazz.

Franklydear · 03/11/2021 20:07

Well, ladies, dh is learning about opks and the clear blue app for it, mind blown, also pushing for dtd even in super tired weekdays, more often than feels natural,... somehow this doesn’t feel like a last chance

becarefuloutthere · 03/11/2021 20:43

@Vil10 can't believe that dr! Hope you're ok now. I'm pleased he realised what a twat he was and sorted it out!
@Lexber congratulations on twins, how amazing 🤩
@Minster2012 I'd be so scared to see a mouse, I'm such a wimp! 🙈

MrsBiddy · 03/11/2021 21:05

@InkyPaper yeah I'm glad it's being looked into x

@Somatronic I was referred to a private hospital via nhs and they did all the tests. Now then are forwarding me on to a nhs hospital lol so confusing 🤪

Ah I see, was it quite quick the referral?
I'm overweight so no doubt I will be told to lose weight 🙄 find losing weight so bloody hard 😞

Thank you for replying xxx

Minster2012 · 03/11/2021 21:47

Doesn't @DKDK123 have fibroids? And is pregnant! @MrsBiddy that's aimed at! But it's really good they are taking it further

@Bundaberg84 well both our cats were both female, I think one was just shit 😂😂but the shit one was my little shadow & used to wait for me to come home from college sitting on the driveway & follow me round the house 🥰

@Franklydear book that's great then!! What are the OPKs saying atm? Have you had a peak yet? You'll be be needing some more lube next 😂😂

@becarefuloutthere to be fair I'm not squeamish but I knew about the mouse at 11am and I left it for DH to move when him & DS got back at 6pm which he wasn't pleased about 😂😂he's scared of birds though so he can't say anything (despite shooting game)

@paintfairy omg belindas heart outfit tonight & hair!!! 😂😂😂

Franklydear · 04/11/2021 05:42

@Minster2012 3rd day of flashing and cd14, still ewcm so must be right, this is going to be a long cycle (by my standards) lube? what lube?

MrsBiddy · 04/11/2021 06:33

@Bundaberg84
Really? 😂 we have 2 cats (they were supposed to be Rocky & Rambo) got a shock at the vets 😂 Now Betty & Wilma

Wilma the ginger cat has brought back some interesting things but none alive 😂 a half eaten burger and a piece of coal 😂
We think she might be progressing and hoping one day for her to bring back a wallet or something 😂

Minster2012 · 04/11/2021 07:27

Ooo @MrsBiddy wouldn't it be great if she did bring back a nugget of gold or something 😂😂

@Franklydear keep going! Are you DTD every other day on the flashing?

OP posts:
Franklydear · 04/11/2021 07:29

@MrsBiddy ooh treasure!
@Minster2012 yes, and then the day of the static, right?

Minster2012 · 04/11/2021 07:36

@Franklydear static & 2 days after it's MEANT to be ideal. But don't worry if it's not, static & day after though would be good 🤞🏻🤞🏻

paintfairy · 04/11/2021 08:51

@Minster2012 🤣 I haven't watched it yet but I'll look forwards to that! 🤪
Nothing to report here.

What i have been thinking about though is how many people must go through ivf. At the clinic DH heard them say they've got 9 people in for EC that day. Dunno how average that is. But they do it 6 days a week. So that's 54 a week. For one clinic......

Bundaberg84 · 04/11/2021 08:56

@MrsBiddy that's awesome :D mine also brought home a chicken wing, freshly marinated and ready for BBQ I think, some neighbour must think he's crazy "I know I put it right there". Also Bacon, big slizes of bacon, no idea where she finds them. Must have gone to the shops me thinks.

Hopeful110 · 04/11/2021 09:43

@Lexber omg twins!? How amazing...not the sickness part but yay!!! You must be so overwhelmed but excited! Congratulations! 😬👶👶🥰
