Minster2012 · 16/02/2021 23:02

So our valentines treats did the trick & we’ve got some BFPs for February...HORRAY!! 🥳♥️😘

We’ve picked up some newbies who come armed with a flesh light for horses, 🐴a penchant for McSteamy & 2 extra Sausages 🐶🍆for us to add to our rowdy bus.

If all else fails we can send our dogs round the country...stud them to each other cos they don’t understand social distancing and get a hella cute bus loads of pups instead, they can then teach us how to do it!

Grab your popcorn for Married for at First Sight, your briefcase for the horse spunk & make your decision on whether you are McSteamy or McDreamy...🩺

We’ve got the fastest TTC 🚌in the UK & we talk like it’s a WhatsApp group so be prepared...but don’t worry cos long as you pop in and out & say hello once in a while you can sit on top, we’ve got room for you to chill out if TTC gets too much.

We are a rowdy bus of newbies, oldies with history, excited ladies going forwards for IVF & pregnant mates we can’t get rid of and we are now OWED BIG.

And if you see mention of my blog then blame these guys they made me do it...#shamelessplug

minstermusings.co.uk for the blog that’s where the full stuff happens

@Minster2012 - Well, i've always said i'll have wrinkle free neck when i'm old.
Yes, still away. Looking like it will be May time before he is back. I'm hoping he may get a weekend for my 20 week scan but its unlikely. I can book a private scan from Monday to find out the sex, which i'm really tempted to do.

@lucyrp - Only a week between each other! I had a consultant appointment at 14 weeks, so got to hear it then but i'm hoping the midwife will let me record it, so I can send it to my OH. I'm waiting to be told if i'll be allowed it, as I had a reaction as a child to it. Although my B12 injections hurt.

Kirky658 · 18/02/2021 09:06

@ttcabroad it was just stupid teenagers sending selfies that kind of thing but with suggestive comments, DH told school and threatened them with the police. Thankfully they left me along after that!

notyetamumbuttrying · 18/02/2021 09:09

@lucyrp I've divulged loads about family and friends though, but someone would have to be a stealth detective I guess. I'll start slow and add you and @Vil10 then pluck up the courage to add more 😂
@Minster2012 could I follow your personal insta rather than the minster one? X

larrythelizard · 18/02/2021 09:10

Haha @Tornado2Inc that's you told!

TTCAbroad · 18/02/2021 09:12

@Kirky658 Teenagers are so bloody weird. But then again, I didn't understand other teenagers when I was one so Hmm. I'm glad it got sorted.

Crazydoglady123 · 18/02/2021 09:13

@Vil10 good luck for today 🍀

@Minster2012 did the cheap piss sticks work or explode?

I did my CB OPK today and got a flashing smiley (CD10 for me and first time using OPK in over a year) so ran back into bed and pounced on poor OH 🤣

lucyrp · 18/02/2021 09:14

@JustMouse yeah I didn't realise we were so close in gestation! I had one with DS il sure and was fine so hopefully be okay. Yeah I want to record the heartbeat and send to OH!

@notyetamumbuttrying that's what I think. If someone wanted to read everything I've written on here one that's pretty weird and two it would take them forever 😂😂

larrythelizard · 18/02/2021 09:14

@Minster2012 I want to join the insta fun, I think I'm going to set up a lizard one but will need to remember my password and stuff first, will be easier to do without a toddler on my lap so will have a look later!

@TTCAbroad my parents moved to Tokyo last year and they're just starting to get out and explore as the weather gets nicer, I'm really jealous! We were amazed to see it's on the same latitude as Athens, thought it was more northern!

@Dollybird89 bloody impressive starting exercise at that time last night...!

I'm just watching last nights MAFs...ooh!

Crazydoglady123 · 18/02/2021 09:16

I just tried to set up a new insta account but we've 3 work ones, my dog one and my personal one I'm apparently maxed out 😭😭

Crazydoglady123 · 18/02/2021 09:16

Sorry 4 work ones

InkyPaper · 18/02/2021 09:24

Morning everyone!

Lost you all for a while and now there are pages to catch up on 😂🙈 on insta, I keep debating whether or not to follow @Minster2012 but like @notyetamumbuttrying I'm super anxious and worried about being outed 😂

Hope everyone is doing OK though

Been a tense few days, my bestie had a baby and the birth didn't go well. Everyone's doing OK now.

Also, I've had loads of ewcm again for the past 3 days so I'm thinking my body is trying to ovulate again so there's no point in me testing this weekend like I was going to. Frustrated with myself but nothing I can do except DTD and wait until March when I can go back to the doctor.

Tornado2Inc · 18/02/2021 09:25

@Crazydoglady123 oh, didn't know 5 is the maximum. Just made one for ttc, this is my 5th one, lucky!

larrythelizard · 18/02/2021 09:30

Oh that sounds horrible @InkyPaper glad all is OK.

I've just set up a different insta for this purpose, I'm another that is too worried about outing myself (and I have through some stalking already discovered a tenuous link to another bus passenger so deffo prefer to be anonymous!)

notyetamumbuttrying · 18/02/2021 09:30

@lucyrp true! We've been speaking for months and months now and are bus titles are so nuts I doubt they'd appear on a google search about opk's or whatever 😂
@larrythelizard it's so good right!! Were you shocked?
@InkyPaper I'm glad I'm not the only crazy on here then 😝 aw your poor friend, glad all is well now tho ♥️
@Tornado2Inc your ttc one is hilarious 🤣 inspired some might say 😂
@Crazydoglady123 just follow with your dog one, or does that link bk to your personal?

JustMouse · 18/02/2021 09:30

@lucyrp - Neither did I! Have you got a bump yet?

@Kirky658 - Did I read that you had booked a holiday to Cumbria? If so where abouts?

lucyrp · 18/02/2021 09:36

@notyetamumbuttrying did you request to follow me before ?

@JustMouse I have yes a small bump it's appeared out of nowhere since Saturday! Have you ?

Tornado2Inc · 18/02/2021 09:38

@notyetamumbuttrying I'm surrounded by inspiration 🤣

Dollybird89 · 18/02/2021 09:40

@minster2012 no baby 🦒 yet. Last time one of em was preggo I was watching for weeks until she went into labour . They are such beautiful animals . I even got OH checking in on her now too. We wanna road trip in the states at some point so will visit the zoo and giraffes on our tour!!

@larrythelizard I do it once OH gone bed so I'm on my own lol

Franklydear · 18/02/2021 09:50

Morning, ladies, ewcm and cramps style feelings in tummy so I think I predicted Fw right, we'll carry on till the weekend to be sure and then, torture....

Franklydear · 18/02/2021 09:52

On the insta, it doesn't worry me much, I follow a variety of themes for a variety of reasons, and even if any of that took you to Mumsnet, across the buses, it would be a full time job to put it all together

Juno231 · 18/02/2021 09:53

@InkyPaper ooh that sounds awful! Hope they'll recover well - mentally also! I actually have a friend who's chosen to be childless as her best friend died in childbirth :( Crazy that it still is so risky.

@Justmouse lovely to hear from you again! Is OH posted somewhere stupid atm? I've got one friend getting posted to NL this year and another to the Falklands - can't imagine doing that stuff still so you're a star!

@paintfairy yeah I'm really hoping 8th of July is just a placeholder for something else lol.

Been to the hospital this morning for my blood tests. Four vials! Glad I got there 10 min before the clinic opened cause by 8.35 (it opened at 8.30) the wait was 75 min! Luckily I was only 6th in line though.

Justanothercyster · 18/02/2021 09:58

I honestly don't mind people knowing who I am now we've told our parents 😂 the pics I've put on here probably sell me out anyway, I'm surprised no one I know has found me :P although they're all so bloody fertile I doubt they've sought support from MN!

@lucyrp omg really?? Why did you fall out about it?

@notyetamumbuttrying @paintfairy the fb group thing came up before but I think people felt a bit weird about it because of those who wouldn't want to join. But seeing as we've all worked out who each other are now... 😂

@KateColx introduced myself ;)

@Kirky658 oh nooooo kids are the worst! That's why I'm private on all social media, would be awful otherwise 🙈

Juno231 · 18/02/2021 10:14

@Justanothercyster ooh when did you tell your parents? I missed this. How did they react? I feel like I'm getting closer to telling mum - if only so she can tell dad to shut up about it as he keeps dropping quite hurtful comments like asking us why we don't have a nursery yet and why have we not gotten round to having a lockdown baby - "surely you have nothing better to do".

Kirky658 · 18/02/2021 10:15

@justmouse we've booked to go to the lake district just outside Kendal 😊

@justanothercyster likewise!!! I will never make that same mistake again lol

I'd be cool with a Facebook group for sure I am a member of a few private ones for endometriosis and love them 😊

JustMouse · 18/02/2021 10:17

@lucyrp - Yes, sort of but its not overly noticeable. I was hoping it would be more noticeable by now.

@Juno231 - Luckily it is only UK due to covid but it's about 4 hours away from home. I found out I was pregnant a week after he was gone, so he hasn't been around for any of it yet. I don't know if that's been a blessing or not really.
