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

@gem176 send some of those Sweeties my way please mmmm

Missgoldilocks · 19/02/2021 18:16

@paintfairy hahaha the bowl came straight out of the dishwasher so no worries there 😝 the first night of insemination I made sure I orgasmed when I did it but the second time I was way too tired, actually half sleeping when he brought me the sample 😂😂😴 I bleary eyed pushed it on and turned back over to go back to sleep 😁

paintfairy · 19/02/2021 18:35

@Missgoldilocks 🤣

Vil10 · 19/02/2021 18:39

@InkyPaper yayyy for covering with a quickie!! Yep he really did, he was 27 when he had his first and his girlfriend was 23 so maybe that's why but still, I was so angry with him, I'll be sure to tell him when we finally get pregnant!

@HollieL567 amazing news!! And I can see the little love heart too❤️

BlondePotter · 19/02/2021 18:47

@HollieL567 that's great, very reassuring!!

@Hopeful110 I was similar, tracked by months rather than cycles as some cycles were over 45 days

On the big boob chat, I'm an E in normal bras, but recently went over to Molke - not sexy lacy things but really comfy for big boobies, no wiring but super supportive and @lucyrp they're pregnancy/Breast feeding suitable. They have their own calculator which did me as a GG I think. FB group of Fans of Molke but they're very popular and I think I'll keep going with them at least for pregnancy/maternity leave

larrythelizard · 19/02/2021 18:47

Yay congratulations @HollieL567 💜💜💜

Franklydear · 19/02/2021 18:50

@BlondePotter that's interesting, I changed to front fastening ones from simply be, much more comfortable, I thought they weren't sexy, but DH loves the front opening... easily pleased man
A truly funny one www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4169659-I-offered-my-toddler-a-drink

Dollybird89 · 19/02/2021 18:58

Thanks ladies for the support

been out shopping today (OH did shop I just drive lol) an did us both good to get out the house. OH moods have picked up a bit which is good .. no luck on the job front but still applying to loads.
@franklydear I tried looking for some that you suggested but not getting any coming up for me.

I can't grumble too much about my dad because he does suffer memory loss so I know it's not his fault keep asking me about grandkids just makes it tough sometimes.

@holliel567 I see the ❤ .. glad everything's all good!!

Franklydear · 19/02/2021 19:02

@Dollybird89 a really weird one, one of my friends us getting quite a lot of work as a voice over actor 🤔

Gem176 · 19/02/2021 19:20

@Vil10 I read last night that the average age of first time mums is now 28.something years. It was 23.something years in the 70s. So I'd just be telling anyone who makes comments like that to take a hike!

@HollieL567 aww that's excellent news 🥰 was this a private scan when you got pics?

@Kirky658 I'm having to fight oh and dd for them as it is 😂

Crazydoglady123 · 19/02/2021 19:24

@HollieL567 that's amazing, so precious ♥️

@Gem176 ow that's the only other thing I bet on too 😍

@InkyPaper I'm a G too (although mine are fake) and love Bravissimo bras. They sell a Gossard one which is my absolute fave. No idea what will happen to mine though during pregnancy 😬

lucyrp · 19/02/2021 19:24

@larrythelizard I hate having big boobs honestly. Used to be a lovely B/C cup and that was just enough.

@Vil10 @MartyMcShy they annoy us don't they!😉😫🤣 love a good rant about a 5 month ttc journey. Also love that pic have it saved on my insta @Vil10 what a dickhead saying that! People said to us when we announced our pregnancy "about time" and I'm like why... I'm 23 and he's 24 just because I have a nearly 6 year old doesn't mean that i want one .. of course I bloody do 😂but people like to assume

@Gem176 omg Anything cola is my thing😍😍 to be fair the cat loves knocking over DS washing basket then sitting on top of it to sleep or she really likes underneath his bed too so every night the routine is to shoo her out

@BlondePotter ooo I shall take a look! The ones I've been looking at definitely aren't sexy either 😂

Today has been rough. Had a hormonal migraine which made me throw up my dinner and then I've been sleeping in my bedroom with curtains and blinds closed all afternoon with an eye mask on too 😫

paintfairy · 19/02/2021 19:24

@HollieL567 brilliant news!

Minster2012 · 19/02/2021 19:25

Hellllloooo
Gonna have a quick check in & scroll back & catch up but soooo happy @HollieL567 🥰😘

@franklydear wow that sounds cool lol I just applied for business admin apprenticeship

lucyrp · 19/02/2021 19:26

Ooo also @HollieL567 so pleased for you!

lucyrp · 19/02/2021 19:26

@Dollybird89 what company did you apply for that with ? I started one of those 2 years ago

Florence13 · 19/02/2021 19:30

@HollieL567 yay so glad all went well!

Dollybird89 · 19/02/2021 19:38

@lucyrp I applied through indeed

Gem176 · 19/02/2021 19:44

@lucyrp that's migraine sounds grim! Hope you are feeling a bit better now! Can't heat a cola bottle 🤤 cat pretty much sleeps all winter then we don't see him all summer

@Crazydoglady123 I never win anything on the grand national but I pick based on names I like and dd picks whoever is wearing a purple top 😂 I'd make a rubbish gambler!

Minster2012 · 19/02/2021 20:06

Right so I'm literally catching up from first thing this morning 🤪from weird dream talking /filming stuff again!

So yessss @Crazydoglady123 for April IVF I think you'll kind up with a few ppl from the ivf crowd then hopefully?! 🥳 & flashing smile whoop too! It was me saying about no cold food or drink my Chinese friend wasn't allowed any but that was only once pregnant, it's the Chinese way @MartyMcShy FYI too

@Gem176 loving the sound of your darts piss up nights!

@bez91 did you pick the carpet colour? 50 shades of grey? We have grey upstairs & it works in our bedrooms & DS's room too it's lovely

@Franklydear & @Juno231 im not liking the sound of DH's packing up & leaving in sleep & chokeholds tbh Cos of army/special forces 🤔😬

@Gensola sorry for the no reply but thanks for the sperm info for @Vil10, and that does NOT sound fun for your DH! But amazing it can work! Ahhh this makes sense on a comment last night now I think 😊

I gave up even trying to look at the MN app earlier whenever I looked in a spare moment it just wouldn't load so I'm sorry 😔I was flat out with work too. Sorry @Dollybird89 I didn't mean to ask and run, seems like the ladies helped tho, it would all work out if you got pg you know that. Babies LOVE second hand stuff, it's not that expensive, things happen for a reason & then granddad would be happy 🥰😘it will all work out hun. We got you. It worked out with DH, be kind to yourself. You are in the best place ever. Health & safety that's where it's at. Or dental, always need teeth.

@Vil10 honestly. When will ppl shut up.

@Hopeful110 cycle 2!! Ha ha! I don't MIND Pom juice, but not the actual organic stuff @2020mission has, that tastes like actual soil! Have you made the cake?

@MartyMcShy seems like that rosanna has the right idea, good on her

@Katao hey thanks for answering I just wanted to check in! Totally get it. It's so annoying. 22days? God I hope your appointment doesn't get rearranged 🤨🤞🏻

@Haiyaa oooo I'm really hoping some of these BFN's turn to 2 lines!! @Tornado2Inc @larrythelizard who else is in your crew?

On bras/boobs, I'm a D/DD even when I'm size 8 so I'm pretty lucky, when I go upto a 12 when I fluctuate weights they go to an E but most of my weight is hips /muffin top then back fat so I'm not looking forward to bigger boobs if I get pregnant tbh. I've also heard great things on molke ones

The builder didn't even come round after his phone call comparing me to one of his cattle yesterday, he didn't even say a prize winning heifer that he was artificially inseminating so that was annoying, I bet he used a bigger syringe than @Missgoldilocks 🤪😊
But I got work done. Partially through next blog but it's a miscarriage one so trigger warning.

Oooooo @paintfairy is it your birthday tomorrow????

Katao · 19/02/2021 20:27

Aw thanks @Florence13 it wasn't really an intentional break i just sort of got bored thinking about ttc seen as nothing is happening so fell away from the thread too. I'm ok I just literally can't be arsed giving it headspace at the moment. How are you? I'm not caught up, was ypur cycle ok after your loss?
@Minster2012 thanks, I appreciate the check in. I was a bit rude just disappearing but just sort of lost momentum for it all. Ya 22 days. Total shit. Gone back to these silly short cycles again. I don't think I have a hope. How are you?

blackcurrantqueen · 19/02/2021 20:37

Evening ladies !!
I haven't caught up as I've got a stinking headache, started trying to read but was just not going in!
Three long horrid days at work! But done!
Now on sofa with wine and chocolate. Sent DH to the shop for it especially! 😂

blackcurrantqueen · 19/02/2021 20:37

@HollieL567

Hey girls! I am soooo so relieved so far so good!! Saw a little heartbeat! Keeping my fingers crossed that it's a sticky one now and everything is gonna be all okay! Should be 7 weeks today from LMP but she dated me around 6 weeks 3 days. Scan pic attached for you all! Also can anyone else see the love heart on the first scan photo!? 🥰 Still not caught up yet but I will do tonight!
Yay!!! So happy for you 🥰🥰🥰
Dollybird89 · 19/02/2021 20:42
