All aboard Minster's Ovulation Tea Party Bus - TTC away from cat poo Bus 38

[Minster2012]

I hereby invite you all to Minster’s First ever Eggy Tea Party...🥖🍍🍔🍦🍰🍫🧁held to celebrate the even slightest whiff of an Easter Ovulatory event...

Don’t fear Boris, it will be outside, socially distanced at various points of the UK & Ireland (other parts of the globe may attend), whatever the 🌞❄️⛄️we are up for it & often the sperm & 🥚stay apart at our gatherings too, even though we don’t want them too 🤣.

It’s a bring your own event, private chefs & hello fresh/gousto boxes may attend, pics of your offerings encouraged...🥦🌽🌮🥘🍝🍻🍹🍸🧉🍾☕️🍵🧃🥤🧋

Get your glad rags on ladies Cos we are having a party 💃🏼👯‍♀️👫& we can go OUT now! (Well we are done with stopping in aren’t we?)

This bus is the one where TTC happens in many different forms, shagging conventionally, unconventionally, with the help of scientific intervention, IUI/ICSI/Clomid/IVF & even just watching from the top of the bus 👀. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been trying for days, weeks, months or like some of us we’ve been around each other for so long we can’t bear to leave, nothing is TMI and there’s never a silly question...

Hell we KNOW TTC is tough, lots of us have had heart ache & are chasing 🌈so we are there for each other, as well as trying to have laughs along the way 🥰☺️

Oh and we like an embarrassing story to get your ticket for entry please!

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

Cheers drive @Minster2012 can't believe we're on another new bus!

Day 5 of flashy smiles today, little fucker is taunting me, thought I'd be on a static today...!

buckling in, I need to try and keep up more!

@Minster2012 you're such a pro!!

@larrythelizard got my static today after 5 days of flashing. my app was telling me to give up (again) but thank god i'm not letting the angry flashies control me! lol

baby dust for the thread x x

Aboard, I have a lifetime pass

Lifetime pass here also! Plonking myself at the back of the bus - not even doing anything this cycle!

Whoa, feel like I've missed loads and now a new bus! At least this title doesn't make me want to order some peculiar Tapas dishes 😬🙈

All aboard! I love a good tea party, got a pack of scones staring at me right now but I need to go and buy cream 🤤

Hullo! On the poo... is dog poo and tortoise poo more dangerous in pregnancy? Gives me a nice excuse if it is....... 🙄

Wooo thanks for the new bus @Minster2012 can't wait for more food pics😋

Even if it doesn't you should definitely say it does @Justanothercyster!!

Marking my spot. I'm doting on the dog atm just got her back from the vets and she's super dopey 😍

@Justanothercyster we looked after a dog when I was before 12 weeks and I told DH I wasn't allowed to pick up any poo 🤣 in reality you're ok with dogs but the smell made me heave!

Place marking for my favourite bus ride 🚌 🏃🏾‍♀️ 👈🏿 this looks like me when I was slim and trim and playing netball in the good ol days!

@Minster2012 interesting that your paramedic friends don't agree on the baby on board signs. Do they not take note then?

Hey guys, I've been a bit quiet and not caught up on the old thread as needed a break. My opk sticks are now completely negative and I was due yesterday (if removal bleed was deemed a AF) but nothing yet and no expectations of a BFP (Altho we dtd plentiful)) so patiently waiting and hoping for either an AF or a massive surprise! As I had no obvious ovulation!

I feel so frustrated I'm still waiting to even start lol
But on the plus side my best mate for forever told me she is pregnant and I am so happy for her, I knew she had been thinking of TTC this year but didn't realise they started trying Jan. I let her in on our secret and she is hoping I get caught ASAP so we can go through it together. She's only 7 weeks at the minute so early doors but 🎉🎉
Finger crossed 🤞🏼 in April/May xx

Hey ladies just popping on to save a seat ♥️ @haiyaa I hope you are looking after yourself. Xxx

Taking my seat.....

@Justanothercyster some of the tortoise people are overly stressy about tortoise poo generally! Massive salmonella risk apparently. Some even have separate sinks for washing things! Here's me bathing mine in the kitchen sink...... 🤣

@Minster2012 I agree, I'm also a sceptic on the purpose of them, sure they're just for bragging rights 😆 a bit different to fire brigade attending a tanker on fire and needing to know the coding on the back of what's inside incase it's flammable and how to put it out 🙈

Thanks for the new bus 🚌

@paintfairy oh wow tortoise poo, if never think you didn't need to wash them in the kitchen sink... I love them they're so intriguing 🐢

@bez91 well I've been washing them in the sink and their stuff too. And I never wash my hands after touching them necessarily. I'm not dead yet. 🤣 But then I've also spent plenty of times picking up horse poo, and then eating whilst I'm down there, I don't have running water. I reckon my immune system is pretty good. I never worry about such things. 😬 What did people do before soap existed? 🤔 I worry about a billion things, but luckily, not that.

Won't be contributing much on the ttc front but hopping on the bus nonetheless to follow all your stories. 🤞 easter eggs produced some good lady eggs for some more April sticky beans 🥰

Lurker for the back seats! @haiyaa so sorry lovely, no words help but be kind to yourself.

@DKDK123 I’d be hopping mad tbh, but it’s good it’s all out in open and you can work through it together, and ttc 🍆 still on the cards surely..he could make it up to you 🤪

@haiyaa so so sorry to hear your news 🥺💔 sending so much love your way 🤗 nothing can make it better right now but take lots of time for you 💕

Just marking my place, I've missed loads these past couple of days! So sorry if I've missed anything important! It was my friends funeral today, was just so sad and I am feeling absolutely exhausted. Tiredness has really kicked in past couple of weeks!

Today I had my downsyndrome results through and although it did say low risk the result was 1 in 547, with my previous pregnancy before we knew about the neural tube defect the result for that baby for downs was 1 in 54'000! So although it says low risk it just seems such a low number in comparison so it did panic me a little. Did any other preggo ladies have anything similar?

Hi all. I'm going to skip this bus and catch the next one 😉 not ttc this cycle so going to take a little mumsnet break too and try to think about other things for a change! Hope to come back to good news 🙂

Thanks for the new bus @Minster2012! I'm excited for the private chef 😁

I'm plonking myself in the 'is this ever going to happen' seats. Have a glass of wine with me too.

I did not know that about cat poo, scary. So sad about your colleague @Juno231, tragic.

Hopefully this will be a lucky bus for loads of us 🤞🤞

@Katao, enjoy the break. I think it's needed every so often just to reset.

Hiya

@Minster2012 thank you for the new bus.

@Haiyaa I'm so so sorry. Take care and we are all here if you need us.

@Dollybird89 do you have any boxes left I would love to try xx

Marking my place can't believe it's new bus time already xxx
