Yoga slurping & keep fit POASticking - TTC unconventionally BUS 33

[Minster2012]

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

@Minster2012 so you have a great bum and fantastic boobs too? Not jealous at all 🤪

@Katao aww fair enough hun well glad your ok. Well I still haven’t had a period since my loss so who knows what my body is upto.

@blackcurrantqueen sorry to hear you have got a headache completely feel you on the three long days though. Also have wine and chocolate ☺️

@Florence13 aw sorry you are in limbo x

Hi! Sorry for not being around- work has been busy and moving has kept us very busy! Finally moved yesterday so getting used to being in a much bigger place! It’s nice and peaceful here and the journey from work is actually really good

I’m out for a BFP this month purely because of no DTD during the right time! Have been really feeling awful with migraines and when not we have just been packing and being up super early/late and then feeling really sick (me) probably due to anxiety. Just haven’t been able to manage to be up for it in the slightest! I think I may have already ovulated (packed my thermometer and ov sticks and now can’t find them! ) so just going to throw everything at next month. I’m actually fairly ok about it as I have felt so rubbish!

Should be around much more now lots of unpacking tomorrow though as I have been working today as well as yesterday. Hope all you ladies are doing ok.

@Florence13 don't forget her pins too a la Valentine's pics.... not envious at all over here with my ducks disease and sticky out bum!!!

@bez91 I'd second grey carpets, dd has a grey carpet in her room. It works well with her colourful walls and hides a multitude of sins!

@Minster2012 cannot stand football, so darts is the only sport I'll actually watch with him 😂 it's the law to have a few drinks with the darts 🤪

AIBU to go to the co-op just to get a block of cheese and a jar of pickled onions because well I'm hungry and that's what I want?! Might also have to go for a mosey down the chocolate aisle, be rude not to right???

@gem176 YANBU and i will happily queue for those things with you right now haha xx

@Katao aww thanks hun.

@Billythecat congratulations on moving!! Hope unpacking isn’t too hard I definitely underestimated the amount of stuff we had 🙈

@Gem176 oh yes and the pins she definitely has the whole package!! Definitely be rude not to check out the chocolate as well..

@Katao it's totally legit to just not be arsed, don't blame you at all. I'm only here for the haribo although actually the darling @Clairey844 only bloody sent some delicious rocky road through the goddamn post after I sneakily sent her some congratulations crafty post so maybe I'm here for that 🤣🙌🏻and so @Florence13 I only have a good arse now Cos i hammer the workouts @Dollybird89 style (that one honestly is a killer) & the boobs are my mums fault. But I def put on "happy weight" & I have to exercise a lot to keep it off. 2 of my SILs though are steadfastly size 8s and eat so badly. I'm so jealous.

@blackcurrantqueen damn well hope so!!

@Florence13 have you spoken to anyone about your limbo???

@Billythecat yayyyyyy for moving!! But shit for headaches

& @blodyn91 moving toooo!!!! Whoop whoop!!

@Gem176 YANBU get them in. Gerkins??

@Gem176 whenever people say anything to me I just say "bloody hell im still young" to try and cover it up😂

@lucyrp hahahaha "I didn't ovulate the first cycle then I caught the second cycle, it was such a journey" okay sound👍🏼😂 aren't people frustrating!! They just don't think at all!!

Fab pics @Holliel567, congrats! Beautiful little bubba there.

I really want loads of haribo sweets now!! Have the wine and crisps instead.

@Minster2012 nope I have not spoken to anyone about my limbo.

@Kirky658 @Florence13 Mission success!! OH is giving me funny looks but I honestly couldn't care less 😂 southern fried chicken and salsa for dipping might have fallen in the basket along with a chocolate orange.... I'm a happy girl right now 🤣

@Minster2012 i can't stand gherkins.... or pickled eggs but pickled onions are just a whole other story 🤤

@Vil10 point is you shouldn't have to cover it up, it's absolutely nobody else's business and making comments is so uncalled for. Since starting trying I now notice so many friends and family make wee comments. Said something to my Aunty about keeping a secret, it was a holiday and her first assumption was baby closely followed by aww you'll need to have one soon 🤯 imagine being told you cannot have children and hearing those comments. You either have to put up with heartbreak every time you hear them or disclose something deeply personal. Some people are just shit!

@MartyMcShy highly recommend ordering online, don't have to leave the house and no judgement when buying half your body weight in haribo 🤣

@Minster2012 birthday? 🤔 Mine was last month.

@Gem176 you're so right!! Isn't it annoying, and you feel like once you start TTC the questions become more regular!! That's what I think, those questions and assumptions will be a trigger for some people, there definitely needs to be more awareness!

@Gem176 aww fab glad your mission was successful!

@Vil10 there really should be more awareness, ever since I got married nearly two years ago now the amount of people that ask me daily.

@Vil10 definitely and it really is no ones business. For all anyone knows it could be something heartbreaking like infertility, a truly awful childhood so choosing not to have children of their own or even worse as is the case of my cousin, recently married, settled, started thinking about having a family and then they discovered his wife's father has Huntington's, an illness with a 50% chance of being passed on to children. His wife had the test and she also has it, symptom free at the moment but she is only in her 20s. Due to her diagnosis they don't think they will be able to adopt and don't want to have their own as it literally is a coin toss on whether or not any children they have will get it. Absolutely heartbreaking!

@Florence13 half a jar and most of a block of cheese down and I now feel a bit sick 😂 I'll never learn 🤦🏻‍♀️

@Gem176 oh no, that's awful for them. 😔
@Florence13 @Vil10 people just shouldn't comment. I honestly don't get it. Why is it your business? I would never say anything to anyone about it and never have. Its just not appropriate. Thinking about it though, on my last works Xmas do (so 2019) several people asked about it, because we'd recently got married. I just brushed it off like- jeez, give me a minute. Others have asked though since, and not even people I'm exactly close to.
Luckily not seeing people has put a bit of a stop to it but my mum still comments. Now, bearing in mind I've never shown any interest in kids and always said i didn't want them most of my life (which my mum happily tells people) I have no idea why she says stuff. As I've given no indication that's changed. But today I was telling her the dog slept in our room last night because he's not well. But I hear every move he makes so it keeps me awake. And she was like- you'll not cope with kids then, you definitely get no sleep.
Erm, who mentioned that?! 🤔
Really annoys me! And she does things like that often.

@Florence13 it's not fair is it!! Should just come back with a really arsey comment!!

@Gem176 oh god that's awful!! Your poor cousin and his wife!! So so sad!! Heartbreaking, it's just completely taken out of their hands isn't it!

So my nipples have been so tender today, and itchy, only 6dpo so I need to chill like but they're killing!!

Oh of course it was the end of jan ignore me @paintfairy sorry!! Was it you were meant to be up here???

Aaah I figured out why we're not pregnant gals! We haven't MANIFESTED IT YOU MOFOS

Did anyone watch selling sunset BTW cause it's brilliant? But now I want to strangle this chick

@Juno231 what a twerp 🤮 hate crap like that! Science, timing, luck, the stars aligning and a good bit of spunk get you pregnant! Manifestations my arse! I've been manifesting (daydreaming about) being a millionaire for years and still nothing!!

@paintfairy @Vil10 absolutely devastating for them but I take my hat off to them for making such a selfless decision. There are people who choose to take that risk but seeing what Huntington's does, it's one of the cruelest illnesses 😢

Hello @minster2012 yes I'm still here!!! 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

God what a crazy few days it's been. AF finally finished but have had the busiest few days in work so just didn't have the headspace to catch up before now. Sorry in advance for the long post & for missing so much, was trying to catch up yesterday but as I've had 22 pages to read it's taken a while ahaha 😣😂

Loved all the "who's who" on Instagram chat... I would love to know who's who but completely get the want/need to be anonymous... I'm happy to be added if anyone wants to, I don't think I over share too much and most people who matter in my personal life knows we're ttc now since the MMC so the secret is out haha... My photo is of me & DH 👰🏻🤵🏻 (p.s. I think I've added a few of you, hope that's ok, please decline if not) 💕

@cathertinettc I know I'm late with this reply but I've had this issue with dry skin especially my forehead for ages and at Christmas I started using Tropics products, and their Rainforest Dew Serum is amazing, tbh i use their cleanser & moisturiser too which are so gentle on my sensative skin. Honestly so so good! Look it up - they have like a discovery/travel kit of the cleanser etc & mini serum so you can try for a few weeks to see if it suits you before spending the full amount. It lasts ages too so although it's a bit more pricey it's long lasting.

@florence13 hey lovely I'm good. Had a real busy few days work wise (hence my radio silence) & looking forward to some down time this weekend. How are you? I read that you've still not had a period since your loss 😔 where are you now in your cycle? Mine took a while to come back, it's very frustrating.

@minster2012 thats great news about the AMH 🌈 💕

@gem176 hypos & sex really are a pain... Flat lucozade or flat full sugar pop is good. We keep some in the bedside table just incase. Liquid is good because it gets into your system quickly, easy to drink (especially if still DTD, a quick drink break it easier)and flat = no bubbles or burps (because burping isn't really an aphrodisiac hahaha)... Then obviously get up after and have a proper snack after. Hope that's helps 👍🏻
And yes your dropping low with the slightest activity due to your tight control but also the insulin sensitivity of the 1st trimester... Its normal 😉

@lucyrp busty girl here too and with regards to good bras I agree with @InkyPaper & @crazydoglady123 Bravissimo is great, they do nursing bras as well as normal ones with or without wires and they do online consultations and stuff. Ive recently done an online consultation and it was great. And they sell Freya bras as @martymcshy suggested and Panache per @Juno231 suggested... Plus so many more 😊 honestly all big busted ladies get onto Bravissimo if you haven't already (they do have stores too but obviously not open currently).
Also I've heard Mumba Bras are good nursing bras (I'm guna try them when my time comes). You can find Mumba bras on Instagram.

@hollieL567 congratulations on the scan 💕 lush news.

Aaaaaannnnddd I'm caught up... And I thought I'd post at stupid o'clock in the morning because i can't sleep and have palpations again (I've had them for a few days for some reason...)
Glad to be back with you all, hopefully I'll keep up better these next few days 😜💐💕

@Sausage1990 i hope you're not still awake, I woke up at 4 and can't get back to sleep, ds will make me pay for that tomorrow, glad to see you back, why is everything manic these days?

@Gem176 oh my. My second cousin married her childhood sweetheart (who has Huntington's) and then tried for a baby. I'm sure they had around 4/5 abortions before they finally got their baby without the horrible disease. He died a couple of years ago aged 46. Their little girl has got to be around 12 now and she looks just like her daddy. So sad 😭

Omg also watched a video on how to help yourself if you're constipated earlier. I am shocked. Someone will probably say they already do this on here but apparently if you hook your thumb in your vagina and press down you can feel the lumps of poo in your passage and press down and they'll come popping out .... mind blown 🤯😱😂
