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

@blackcurrantqueen @kirky658 @florence13 @notyetamumbuttrying @bez91 thanks lovelies 🤗♥️ in a misery loves company way, it helps to know it's not just me!

@Minster2012 haha that's true, we have each other! Chin up and tits out has been my motto for the day

@Amy00 it was so mild today! I actually really love winter when it's all cold and crisp, but all the rain recently has been so grim, it was nice to have better weather. But you're right, there are things to look forward to on the horizon.

@Justanothetcyster ooh that's a thought, I've not really planned anything nice to do at home really.

@Vil10 I really should book some days off, it just feels like such a waste when we can't go anywhere! Although I guess that might change a little bit by April 🤞 hope the hot water bottle has helped with your sciatica ♥️

I tried one of the emkfit workouts @Dollybird89 has been doing (I did the Greatest Showman one with the warmup) and while I made it through the whole thing, I did spend like 30 mins just laid on the floor afterwards 🤣 Thanks for recommending them @Dollybird89 and for giving me a little push @Minster2012 I did feel a lot better mentally when I was done. I think it was just what I needed 😊

Hope you're all having a great evening ♥️

lucyrp · 21/02/2021 19:42

@Kirky658 I think you'll be alright🤣🤣 I didn't eat any fruit or veg for the first 8 weeks I was pregnant 🙈😂 only just started eating healthily again now x

Vil10 · 21/02/2021 20:05

@Haiyaa I had a little 30 min nap this afternoon which I never do but it was needed!!

@notyetamumbuttrying so with it being male factor how will it work? Sorry I'm a bit clueless when it comes to ivf x

@InkyPaper even if you just take a few days off to rest and have some time to yourself, but like you say, hopefully by April you can go somewhere🤞🏼 I have a shakti mat so that's hopefully helped a little bit, it usually eases in the morning if it's worked x

Kirky658 · 21/02/2021 20:26

@lucyrp hehe awww you always make me feel better ❤️ yesterday I bit into a satsuma and the taste made me retch so that went into the bin... Had some salad with the domino's tonight so not all bad lol. How are you feeling now you're past the 12 weeks stage? Are you about 14 now? Xx

lucyrp · 21/02/2021 20:28

@Kirky658 actually saying that I didn't eat anything at all for 8 weeks so 😂 yeah been much better since I got past 12 weeks apart from my blip on Friday. I'm 15 weeks tomorrow according to the scan but 14+2 by my dates 🤷🏼‍♀️what are you now ? X

Minster2012 · 21/02/2021 20:36

@Crazydoglady123 you should be ok then with DS at 9 but you never know how the stimulation will affect you really.

@Franklydear I might let you off, for now 🤪but how amazing is @Dollybird89 we need to keep up! @notyetamumbuttrying you up for the challenge??

@notyetamumbuttrying that looks fab!

@Kirky658 that's the best excuse for dominos ever!

@InkyPaper chin up tits out and lie on the floor after killer workout! Totally with you, but it's better done 😝😉 we all need time to chill and time to relax, we'll get there, just keep talking to us hun x

Kirky658 · 21/02/2021 20:36

@lucyrp bless you I'm glad you are feeling better now and managing to eat again. I'm 10+1 today got my 12 week scan on 3rd March so getting a bit nervous now, especially as I will tell my boss the following Monday as I need adjustments to be taken into account for work ASAP before shops etc reopen. I've been lucky I get nausea badly when hungry but I've been trying to snack to keep it at bay which has helped. This week I've found rice cakes and Nutella which has been a revelation 😍

lucyrp · 21/02/2021 20:44

@Kirky658 yeah it goes so quick doesn't it can't believe you're that far along! I'm sure I felt baby moving last night too which is exciting! A good few weeks earlier with my second than my first! Yeah I told my boss the same day I got my 12 week scan. I have my 16 week in like 10 days and can hear their heartbeat then which will be nice. Ooo yes rice cakes are the one! X

Kirky658 · 21/02/2021 20:49

@lucyrp yep it is amazing how fast the time is going... Scary really. Awww that's nice, have you changed midwifes now? My 16 week check is on April fools day which made me giggle x

Franklydear · 21/02/2021 20:50

Ice done most of my jobs, DH ordered a take away, it got me a bit crossed because it's just for laziness, not to get a treat, but he is now doing bathtime while I sit on my ass, so....
I need to find a time to work out, I really do

lucyrp · 21/02/2021 20:52

@Kirky658 it really is! By the time I go back to work il only be back for a maximum of 4 months as it is and I have a couple of weeks holiday to take in that time too! Can't say I'm disappointed 🤣 wanted to go back to work but now pregnant I don't 😂 umm well my current midwife rang last night to ask if I wanted her to send my notes to me or keep them until my appointment so I said keep them because by the time she sends them in the post they probably won't have got here by my appointment 😅 and then she asked to book my 16 week appointment and I was like umm I already have ... 🙄x

Kirky658 · 21/02/2021 21:05

@lucyrp wow only 4 months that's amazing! Oh god that sounds promising good job you moved by the sounds of it hun. X

lucyrp · 21/02/2021 21:15

@Kirky658 technically I am working now. We're still being paid in full and wfh as such but I mean like going back to actual work. Won't be back until early April at the earliest and then I'm off from end of July 🙈🤣x

Justanothercyster · 21/02/2021 21:20

Hope everyone's had a nice day, will catch up tomorrow. I'm on day 2 of killer headache in the evening 😫🤯

blackcurrantqueen · 21/02/2021 21:36

Right how do I do these workouts then @Dollybird89 @InkyPaper @Minster2012
How long do they take? Do I need equipment. Help the newbie out 😂 greatest showman sounds fun!

blackcurrantqueen · 21/02/2021 21:41

@Justanothercyster oh no! Headaches are horrible. Hope you are feeling better soon xxx

Dollybird89 · 21/02/2021 22:11

@blackcurrantqueen

Just need to finish this blog argh

notyetamumbuttrying · 21/02/2021 22:47

@InkyPaper it's never just you when it comes to ttc, it's pretty much hell on earth 🤪
@Vil10 I'm still clueless too really. Hoping to find out more tomorrow! But with me saying it's male factor I'm hoping that once they extract his best swimmers and inject it straight into my egg that it'll be good as they don't have to swim up my tubes (his motility was v low, which is the ability to swim) so I'm thinking with that part already done, we'll be in with a good shot. But then saying that I think I have endo and no idea how bad it is, where it is etc so that might impede things. Plus my bmi is quite high so that could impact things as well. Although I can lose weight, I just need to keep at it!
@Minster2012 defo up for the challenge! Just said to vil that I need to sort out my weight loss so a challenge would be great!
Good luck with the latest blog 👍🏾

Minster2012 · 21/02/2021 23:34

Ooo that's good @notyetamumbuttrying massive good luck for tomorrow! I put out a challenge for 3 (could be any 3 I don't mind!) of my followers to take up @Dollybird89 's lead on Insta and do the booty workout & post a pic of a bit of them or like @InkyPaper put up a pic of a sweaty forehead so not showing her! Either today or tomorrow, so there you go! Are you the sunflowers?

Right done my next blog post fir the end of my MMC in lockdown for those reading...kind of revealing 🤪😜off to bed

Sweet dreams ladies and good luck testers xx

You guys are actually making me miss the minimal workouts I used to do 😂 I did a few of the emkfit ones when she'd just started on youtube before I got pregnant and really enjoyed them haven't done anything since 🐷 takes all my effort to get up off the sofa these days so doubt my body would cope with a dance workout right now but inspiring me to get back with it once baby is here and we are recovered 🙌🏼

Vil10 · 22/02/2021 07:07

@notyetamumbuttrying that makes sense!' I hope it is just pretty straight forward for you and they don't discover endo! Good luck today!🤞🏼

@Ltay2 you're pregnant you have an excuse!! Hope you're doing well x

So 9dpo today, woke up with strange like trapped wind sort of cramps, but feel like af is gonna be starting soon, expecting spotting on Wednesday I think, you know when you just know you're out? But I'm feeling okay about it, I think because I've prepared myself😂

33Carr · 22/02/2021 07:49

Hi! Not sure how many of you that are still here will remember me as I've been pretty awful at being active haha!

But wanted to quickly update that we got our BFP this weekend 🥰

Quite ironic as we were finally in the process of being referred to fertility clinic as it's been 12 months since my MMC.

Hope everyone is doing well! Xx
