Shower tugging, implantation nosebleeds & a pocket full of rainbows🌈TTC bus 49

[Minster2012]

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 👀

Minstermusings.co.uk

Buckle up & enjoy the ride!

Oh poor little DS @DKDK123 and poor you, it's traumatic when they're ill isn't it?

@Minster2012 you've been there done it all haven't you, a Reno pro!

Ooh yay a transfer time @paintfairy 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Hole in my tooth is making me feel weird so booked an appt for today, just an 'assessment' then they'll book me in for treatment after.

Minging week of workouts at the gym, pleased to not be going back until Monday!

Big hugs @DKDK123 sounds like you and your family have had a really tough day ❤️ we've had test results come in at 7am before so fingers crossed yours will turn up before your appointment

@paintfairy keeping everything crossed for you tomorrow that it all goes smoothly 🤞

@Franklydear that thread was mad!! Who makes a garage roof their patio?!

@larrythelizard hope all goes well at the dentist!

OK, ladies, question time. If you were me (issues on both sides meaning we can only have IVF with ICSI) but you're on CD52, boobs hurt, teeth have suddenly turned to mush (like in the last 24 hours), and nausea/acid reflux/bloating has been an issue over the last few days, would you test just to be safe or would you give yourself a stern talking to about how your body is ridiculous and pulls crap like this all the time (aside from the teeth, that's new, but I am off to the dentist next week) so don't get your hopes up and just wait for the IVF appt with dildo-cam?

@InkyPaper testing! without hesitation.

@Vil10 I wondered what you were talking about @larrythelizard hurting hole 😂

@InkyPaper you never know, get a FRER for the morning 😬

Obviously test @InkyPaper...as if anyone on this thread is going to say any different! You got any in or do you need to go get one for the morning?

Ha ha ha hurting hole @bez91 @Vil10!

@InkyPaper I'd test. I test at any glimmer if hope 🤣 good luck

Girls I just checked and haven't been on mumsnet in 2 weeks 😲 soz. Found pms/af hard and depressing. Big girl pants on now (or off 🤣) for fertile week ! Noticed a few others feeling similar, MIA because nothing going on so hugs to you girls x
@paintfairy can't believe I have missed so much of your ivf journey! I feel bad, I'm actually quite invested. I've seen your posts when catching up though and glad all is progressing. Hope OH gets a bit more sensitive/supportive. Good luck for the morning 🤞 I know you were a bit disappointed by the numbers so far but hope you get good news before transfer.

@Lexber twins! Can't decide if I'm jealous or not 🤣 delighted for you. Hope the sickness lessons now you are into the second trimester.

@paintfairy so the embryos will be nice and perfect and fresh for you to continue their job inside you!! 🤞🏻🥰🙌🏻yeah there might be a BIT of dust 😂😂having thought we nailed the plans yesterday we measured up the window positions last night & I saw how the light fell today & even DH came home for lunch & went "I think it's wrong" so nope we ain't done.

@Vil10 something is happening!! And the holes what?? @larrythelizard oh yes I get it now! The tooth 🦷 and yeah we've done it before but at least the barn had a character that led us, whereas this doesn't so I'm struggling to think what style might work (which includes windows) anyways 😬

What does the weekend hold @larrythelizard?

I think you owe it to the dildo cam @InkyPaper to ensure it isn't disturbing anything 🤔but it's still in a couple of weeks right? So there's time to decide (says Minster trying to be the voice of reason!)

@Manifestingbaby I was like that about @Lexber
OMG I'm jealous but am I?? I decided yes 😂😂and delighted for her too!! Into FW for you!

@Manifestingbaby thank you! No, Dh is a dick, I've decided. 🙄
@Lexber at least I finally found you on Instagram. Unless someone else is having twins too! Cute picture.
@InkyPaper why are you even asking this question? 🤔😂 Test!
@Vil10 I laughed about the hole too but realised what you meant. Larry's hole @larrythelizard 🤣🤣
@Minster2012 its never done! I hate houses.

@paintfairy I think it is me, red little shoes?
I did wonder which one of you it was 🤣🤣 but we had enough mutual MN friends to accept

Thanks guys @Manifestingbaby im still getting my head around it I think, as much as we joked I didn't for the life of me think it would be twins!! Trust me you wouldn't be jealous of the heartburn, sickness and constipation @Minster2012 🤣🤣 since before I even tested... and I was carrying that tampon round for weeks just in case 🤣🤣

I can't remember who asked but yes we do have them in the family on both my parents side and his side 🤣🤣🤣 BUT we are talking about 2/3 generations since any, I don't remember ever meeting/knowing any so as you can imagine both families have gone into complete overdrive excitement my mum after the initial shock started getting giddy saying I've always wanted twins 🤦🏽‍♀️🤣🤣

It's definitely going to be one hell of an adventure, starting with a new car!!! I got mine in December... can anyone recommend a 6/7 seater cos with 4 kids we need a bigger car!!

Mega hole going to cost me £550 to sort out but have booked their earliest appt! Have some other stuff needed but can get dental cover at work from Dec onwards so will wait for that to kick in. Ouch! No more sweets for me 🙈

It's such cool news @Lexber are you going to find out the sex?

A party I don't want to go to and general bumbling around I think @Minster2012, other than next scan, what about you?

@InkyPaper If it was me I'd test just to put my mind at ease one way or another it would be constantly playing on my mind otherwise.

@Manifestingbaby some months AF just hits harder than others emotionally. Glad you're back in the game now, happy FW hoping this is thee egg/sperm combo for you this month. Now go get some 🍆

@larrythelizard ouch to the dental bill! 😲

Covid results have came back on time and all clear 🥳 DS is jumping about like a looney completely fine unaware of all the stress he caused us last night. That's two hurdles over with just tomorrow's to get thru now🤞🌈 Can't remember if I showed you guys the little keepsake I ordered trying to channel the optimism. I've blanked out our surname but I thought it was super cute. All going well we'll put it with our scan pic when we make our announcement to family & friends just to let others that might be having troubles ttc know not to give up hope or that it's not another got pregnant in one try announcement.

@DKDK123 love that keepsake! Remind me when 12 week scan is again? X

Love that @DKDK123 🌈

That's so lovely @DKDK123 - glad to hear your results are back; lots of luck for tomorrow.

Head burying this eve, got lower tummy pain, think it may be constipation. So unsettling though. 😔 I've taken some Fybogel so hopefully that will work.

Haha thanks everyone! I've got a clear blue so I think I'll have to test tomorrow morning now just to see the negative result and shut my brain up for a bit.

@DKDK123 that's such a lovely keepsake! Very cute 😊 yay for a negative covid result!!

@larrythelizard £550? Ouch! Still, it's good you're getting it sorted out

@feliznavidad2 hopefully the fybogel will help and the cramping will ease off soon ❤️Constipation cramps huuuuurt

@InkyPaper thanks lovely, the umm problem appears to be relieving itself so think it's ok 🤞🏻 lots and lots of luck for tomorrow x

@becarefuloutthere my NHS one isn't until I'm 13 weeks so we have a private one booked for tomorrow at just over 11 weeks and if all is well we'll tell people after tomorrow. More because I need to let my work colleagues know soon (my boss knows but not the rest of the staff I work with) because it's getting harder to keep taking a step back when incidents happen etc I think some of them may have guessed already as its not like me not to help out but I need to officially say to my team soon and it doesn't seem right if my workplace all know without my friends and family knowing so we just said all going well at the 11 week one we'll tell folk rather than wait to the 13 weeks. Tho because there's this magical 12 week number everyone stays quiet until it does also worry me I'm tempting fate 🙈

@paintfairy every one I speak to fills me with confidence about the house, NOT!! Ahhhh well, we all still do it right?!

@DKDK123 that's a lovely picture, though I'm disappointed it's not lion king and /or simba tbh 😂🤣what time is the scan? Did you get a morning one?? 🌈🤞🏻🤞🏻

Just been at bonfire /fireworks & pub round one with my brother & SIL & nephew. Before we went to the bonfire the kids were MANICALLY running round the pub shouting & squeaking & my son of course was going BANG BANG I'M A FIREWORK 😂ahhh quiet country pub! However it was then very sweet after when DS snuggled under DH's arm & happily just went to sleep

@feliznavidad2 ahhhh the glam side of pregnancy 😂😩

@InkyPaper we can all hope for you darling 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Then tomorrow @larrythelizard bonfire & fireworks #2 with DHs family whilst he's away for the day/night shooting then my family's for Sunday tea!! So lots to keep busy with...what kind of a party (that you don't want to go to?)

@paintfairy ☹ ivf must be so stressful things on a relationship

@Vil10 meant to sympathise with you about your referral experience. God he def hung up the phone and thought shit I won't get away with that 😂

@Lexber I think people often joke about twins but i can't imagine the shock of actually finding out. I think I'd be speechless! Your other two are older aren't they? That actually sounds lovely after a gap to have another pair altogether 🥰

Thanks @DKDK123 think i just knew from 5/6 days before af due that she was def on tbe wsy so it all just felt drawn out and depressing. Great on the negative results. Will be thinking of you tomorrow x

Good luck testing @InkyPaper

Aarrrghhh - migraine from hell tonight. Was not welcome. Ridiculous night to get a migraine. So quick post.
@Minster2012 did finally manage fu get to Belinda with her hearts and hair though, before I passed it.
@InkyPaper good luck!
@Lexber yes the red shoes! How cute.
@DKDK123 wishing you all the luck in the world tomorrow xx
@larrythelizard expensive hole!

@Minster2012 ya I also settled on jealous!

Lots of 🤞🏼 today...
@DKDK123
@paintfairy
@InkyPaper
Good luck ladies 😊

Yes! Seconding @bez91 - hope you all get positive outcomes. Know that we're thinking of you x
