Thread 6 already. We are a bunch of ladies who are either

  • humping (TTC)
  • by humping yet (waiting to TTC)
  • humped (preggers)

And everything in between!

We've had 7 BFPs in three months and we love a bit of lucky lube and a squinter on 9DPO - come and join the madness!

Parsnips I love the red evening dress! I thought about 2 dresses but as I spent so much on my main dress wanted to make the most of it

HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips · 01/04/2017 07:43

Grumpy your dress 😍😍😍

Loving the selection of dresses for you too confused!

I also went for two dresses - I had a Marsala red evening dress based on a Vera wang number. I just loved it. I wore that for my dance with my dad.

£75?!! My dress was 2k! I would have loved a soft pink or more cream version too confused

Tigger83 · 01/04/2017 07:28

Buzz we're having a tipi wedding too, they're beautiful! What company are you looking at?

Ladies the dresses are looking lovely! I spoke to a wedding dress shop just after I found out and she said to wait till Jan to try on as my shape will change, that'll just about give her enough time to do the adjustments etc.

Booking in appointment last night, going to be consultant led as I've got a few health complications that although don't impact me now and haven't for about 3/4 years they still want me under consultant which is fine. When I had to list all the health problems I'd had in the last 10 years it made me a bit sad but then I look at how well I am now and I'm amazed at the journey I've been on! Midwife team were lovely!

Good luck all the testers today

P.s. Grumpy that car sounds amazing!

confusedat23 · 01/04/2017 07:15

Ahaha Grumpy i have also had some pretty odd dreams!

Your dress is beautiful too!... i actually wanted that dress in Pink! But the only stockist i could find wanted £75 and if i didn't order it on that day i would lose my money!

confusedat23 · 01/04/2017 07:13

Awhhh thanks ladies... heres a pic of me in the dress (we didn't get many good pics) and here a pic of me in my las vegas wedding dress (Wiggley it will show you what pants to not wear 😂)

I LOVE say yes to the dress!!!

Parsnips your dress is lovely!!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 01/04/2017 07:08

I had the craziest dreams including that I had the best massive awesome new top of the range Audi that basically drove itself and even played music I liked just from me starring to sing it! It was so cool and a metallic pale green with tinted windows, then it got stolen from a car park under my nose! And I was only test driving it so started freaking out! One of my friends then revealed they had taken it for a spin and left it somewhere random Shock

Really want one now!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 01/04/2017 06:59

Mine, even!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 01/04/2017 06:59

This is mind (except I didn't wear a veil)

Ooh loving the wedding dress idea - here's me in mine! I wore big sexy spanks as it was very form fitting. Probably wouldn't get a leg into it now 🙈🙈

Right girls, get them posted!!!

Wiggley tasting the food for you wedding is one of the best parts. I just had lacey white underwear on my wedding day. confused your dress is amazing!!

HbH · 31/03/2017 23:04

I'm crashing, but just wanted to pop on and wish penguin & the other testers good luck for the morning Smile

MrsC2017 · 31/03/2017 22:57

Wow fab dress confused,I love seeing wedding dresses! I vote everyone posts theirs, or future dresses! Grin it'll be like say yes to the dress mumsnet edition!

Penguin27 · 31/03/2017 22:42

That dress is incredible confused! I bet you looked amazing.

I hope it goes well with the tipi people tomorrow buzz... that's such a cool idea for a wedding!

Night all! X

DancingUnicorn · 31/03/2017 22:13

Hope your day tomorrow goes ok confused. Hopefully it doesn't make you more anxious. 💐 The dress looks amazing, I could not pull off that in a million years!

Hope the tipi lives up to all your hopes buzz!

Wiggleyfingers · 31/03/2017 22:06

Wow! Thanks for all the advice ladies Smile will have a little look and see, I imagine I will go for something comfortable most importantly! My seamstress is going to be sewing the bra in for more support.
Confused that is a very unforgiving dress! I bet you looked fabulous!
Buzz lovely lingerie set!

HeyJupiter · 31/03/2017 22:05

What an amazing dress confused, am sure you looked beautiful? How are you lovely? Is the anxiety still there?

Penguin how exciting!! Can't wait to see your update tomorrow morning.

buzz have an amazing time! Fab underwear choice :)

confusedat23 · 31/03/2017 21:57

This was my main dress (you can see how unforgiving it is!)

I'm going into central for the day tomorrow.. we are doing mothers day this weekend for my mum and DH thought it might be good bonding time for me so told me to go with her... not sure about about walking all day (i have already got a bit of a waddle somehow!?!?) will go down but i'm trying for DH's sake because he's worried about me Sad

Wiggley my dress was a very unforgiving sking tight mermaid and had a full corset inside the zip and buttons which when done up left a little bit of love handles poking out (i am very hourglass!) so i had very thin small lace pants and a waist trainer pulled down over my hips under my dress to make my silhouette seamless! However when i got changed into Dress 2 which was a french lace dress shaped like a japanese dress i just ditched the waist trainer and wore the tiny pants!

xlaura · 31/03/2017 21:46

Evening ladies.

Buzz that's gorgeous. Looks similar to mine but I got mine from Ultimo. £135 nearly made me die when I saw the price of it. However...my bra is now on the small side because my boobs are bigger as I've put on weight since I bought it 9 months ago and the stocking belt thingy is nearly cutting my waist in half 😂 but apart from that I'm all good underwear wise.

Hopefully yours will fit still 🤞🏼

I wish I had a pic of my dress but I don't because mum banned me from having any on phone just incase oh saw it by accident. I will upload one tho once the big day has finally arrived.. (shitting my pants now!)

TheGrumpySquirrel · 31/03/2017 21:44

Thanks penguin I will. Good luck for your test in the morning! I'll be checking the thread impatiently Grin

I am so so so tired. DH was making risotto but it took too long so I'm in bed, I feel like I've run a marathon today! Night all x

buzzmoon · 31/03/2017 21:41

Evening all ❤️

I'm going to finalise the details with our tipi company that are doing our wedding! They're having an open day and I can't wait to see it in real life! Only seen pics so far so hope it lives up to my expectations!!

I bought my wedding underwear a few weeks ago, so hope my boobs done become ginormous by then!!

Jane the Virgin is like a telenovela which is like a Spanish soap opera, it's really tongue and cheek taking the piss out of how dramatic they are and it's just so good! I'd highly recommend it! :)

Awk dancing I am so sorry to hear your news love! I hope you are doing ok. Sorry I've not been around much. My parents are visiting at the moment and I've not had a minute. You sound like an amazingly strong woman! Please let us know if you need to chat xxx

Penguin27 · 31/03/2017 21:40

Grumpy make sure you try to speak to your DH about how you're feeling. Communication is so important, and especially now when you're getting ready to go through a massive change together.

No ring for me, so no advice on the dress/underwear situation I'm afraid wiggley. I'd say to try on a few options with your dress if you can and see what you feel most comfortable in? Enjoy your food tasting!

Glad you're feeling better, Hb. Italy sounds amazing!

No AF for me yet, so I think I'm going to test again in the morning. I have my family coming to stay this weekend with my gorgeous baby nephew, so I'm really excited about that!

Parastars · 31/03/2017 21:12

Dancing I'm here if you need to chat Flowers sadly, I have been through the same thing myself very recently so I understand how heartbreaking it is. You are very much in my thoughts.

Grumpy work is actually ok, thanks. A welcome distraction! Although saying that, SO pleased it's Friday as I'm exhaused. Love your mega clear positives Smile
