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!

What will April bring? 🐣

@Catherinettc don’t get too excited, we’ve been here before, I have big boobs, sensitive, a bit earlier than usual, I had a funny tummy, like a tummy ache but not quite, discomfort but no pain, and a couple of headaches I don’t normally get, not nausea but I funny feeling like similar...

@Franklydear it's so hard not to symptom spot though 🤦‍♀️ my big giveaways were headache and insomnia. All the other stuff didn't appear until later for me. Oh except like dampness if u know what I mean? I'm fully into symptom spotting for labour now..my Google history is crazy 🤦‍♀️🤣

I think we aren't happy unless we are over analysing everything lol. Where abouts are u roughly in ur cycle now? Is it nearly time to test? Xx

@Franklydear def karma 😂🤣oh well poor bossboy! Hope you are ok!

@Florence13 that's great, so did you have any idea? Or was it lucky you caught it after the MC? Amazing though 🥰😘

Ooooo a consultant appointment @Catherinettc you gonna wear make up and dress up smart?? 🤪😂🤣def SSDD! Ooo I like the way your mind works on the estate agent! Your daughter is stunning and yup ppl are twats I was just gonna say those sanitisers bloody small for my liking 🤪

@larrythelizard I know thanks Michelle, bloody tell that to the dragon receptionists 🤣😆

@paintfairy your brains, shit don't lose your brains outta your fanny 😆god I love this! Ooooo good food though!

@Hopeful110 that's brilliant!! Absolutely brilliant!! TANNOY YESSSS
That must be a record for you? I would DTD tonight anyway just in case but seems like yesterday that's fab 🥳🤩I'm good thanks!

Hey again @justwant2beamum sorry to see you back but happy TWW!!

So 8dpo here & bloods done today (day 21) but on day 29 and probs too late. @larrythelizard im interested (for next time) what dpo the private ones say do it? After my boobs went massive & sore at OV and for about 5/6 days after they seem to have stopped. I've dull cramping for the past day ongoing but off and on and just like AF cramping really. So nothing going on here really. Last time 16 day LP so way to go yet 🙄

@Catherinettc yep, dampness too, I started using pads (the other kind not period) the last couple of days, I am cd17, usual cycles 24/25, don’t think is testing territory yet

@Franklydear oh sounds promising. Will keep everything crossed for you! Except my legs cos I have spd and can't do it 🤣🤣

@Minster2012 I might u know 😏🤣 eff all else to dress up for 🤣🤣🤣 and defo would need a litre bottle of sanitiser 🤦‍♀️🤣 xx

@Minster2012 it was only the progesterone they seemed concerned about (also had AMH) and they said it had to be 7 days before AF - so might also be OK for you! When I booked them originally they said Day 21 but I don't know if that's because they knew how long my cycle was?

Ooh @Franklydear that could be interesting! Google told me earlier that BFPs can be seen as early as 9DPO. Just in case you needed to know that (I found myself symptom spotting earlier but at 3DPO I know I'm being entirely ridiculous and think it's more likely to be the cold I have!)

@Minster2012 yes, all good, awaiting responses in all school queries yet, so not much to do until the term starts, and annoyed at myself for symptom spotting way too early, I am going to drive myself bonkers...

@larrythelizard step away from google, it’s written by men

@Franklydear 👀💦moister than an oyster you say! 🤞🏻

@Catherinettc omg do dress up & then be like "well it's a trip out y'know" 😂🤣

@larrythelizard yeah so 7 days before AF is either yesterday or today 🤔so hopefully ok but that's based on last time when I didn't get a peak and an LP of 16 days so dunno! Ha ha what symptom were you spotting out of interest and how sensitive were these tests btw, out of interest, for my friend @Franklydear of course

I’ll catch up tomorrow, but just quickly, here are the kittens! Aster is the tabby and white and Iris is the tabby. They are very playful and cuddly- Aster will definitely be a lapcat, so much purring! So so happy

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4218522-AIBU-to-be-annoyed-by-message-about-washing-my-car @Catherinettc another one

@Minster2012 I had what I thought was a light period but it obviously wasn’t, was super shocked at my early scan but in a good way haha. When do you get your blood results?

@Billythecat aww they are adorable.

Awww @Billythecat they're gorgeous!!

@Franklydear very very true. It's ok, I'm not even contemplating testing unless no AF by next Tuesday. Or alternatively if my boobs get really painful and my nipples super sensitive as that was the tell for both previous pregnancies!!

@Minster2012 I didn't do much research on the sensitivity of the tests as it's bloody stupid!! I have felt weird and spacey on and off today and my boobs are big(ger) and heavy. The boobs thing could also be because I have been eating SERIOUS amounts of carbs and sugar 🐷🐷🐷! Either way, could do with being busy at work or something as a decent distraction!

@larrythelizard I have heard to keep feet warm in tww as keeps womb warm (also feel like an absolute crack pot but haven't taken my fluffy socks off yet - I'll try anything 😂)
@Franklydear dampness sounds good that was a first symptom for me too!

@Franklydear omg!8 thought my neighbour was a pain in the arse (very nosey) 🤣🤣 the absolute cheek! Xx

Fluffy socks here too @justwant2beamum & @larrythelizard ooooooo I so want a bit of haribo😆😂def with you on the wanting distraction! We've got a busy day tomorrow so that's ok but then toddler day Thursday where it's the day I always find myself mindlessly analysing everything

Oooooo then Friday I'm off to a joules BIG sale to spend some money 🙌🏻on clothes I don't need but maybe some for DH he def does & toddler probs not need but should be fun ☺️🤩

we are seeing a house tomorrow too which is good, one that's not on the market yet but already has us & another couple going round on Thursday FFS, (that we can afford) and another on Saturday that we no doubt can't but it's our neighbours mothers who then wants ours so we kinda have to, as no matter what she could have ours if we find another. So complicated 🤣😆but good for distraction 🤔

@Florence13 that's awesome then!! they just said they'd call me with the results so I'm not holding out hope for this week

@Franklydear @Catherinettc OMG that thread that's ridiculous, I love the write NEVER in the windscreen 🤣

Omg @Billythecat!! They're so cute!! 😍😍😍

@Minster2012 I didn't know what chicken shop was either 😂 @notyetamumbuttrying explained it as a budget version of KFC

@notyetamumbuttrying did you get on OK today??

@Catherinettc there are always gonna be people moaning in comments, it might be better to avoid the comments section for a while because some people just love knowing they're getting a rise out of someone and their bullshit doesn't deserve to live rent free in your thoughts (or your daughter's)

@InkyPaper thanks ❤ that's what I'm doing. Girl on twitter called her a tramp and took everything in my willpower not to start 🤦‍♀️🤣 she's nearly 20 but still my baby lol. I've told her to let it all go over her head too and don't rise to it. That's exactly what they want. As said above she's had her 15 mins of fame now so hopefully will peeter out in next day or 2 xx

@Minster2012 I know right!! It's only been 36/37 days since I ovulated in march and had the cp. So definitely wasn't expecting to ovulate so soon but boy oh boy the signs this time were so strong! Like the cramps were AF style... so im hoping it was a really good egg that's popped out 😉 and the ewcm has gotta be the record amount for me! And my bbt yesterday was 97.28f and today its 97.90f so I'm taking it as yesterday was Ovulation! Wahoo!! And I see your 8dpo now!! Which is great!! Only another 8 days to go til you can test, although will your bloods you just had done show if your pregnant or not?

@larrythelizard ahhh I read something about wearing socks in bed too especially around implantation time, can't do any harm aye, but atleast your feet won't get cold! I'm a weirdo that wears 2 pairs of socks everyday 🤣 but at night can't sleep with anything on my feet haha! How are you doing lovely?

@minthumbugs haha yeah managed to dtd late last night so not sure if it's covered but hey ho. Just actually ovulating is a big thing for me haha

@larrythelizard got taken down at 145 and was eating by about 5 not that I wanted to by then lol! All went well though. Endo detected and removed! Tubes also checked and clear 🥳
Thanks @Florence13 good to hear from you! How you getting on?

@Vil10 nah you're a fitty at all times babes! 😏 all went well thanks 😊 good going on the gym n healthy eating babe, that's my next mission!
@Catherinettc haven't seen that On mine but may go on the hunt! Sorry she's getting grief for it, there's some really sad, mean ppl out there unfortunately. Hope your daughters ok!
@Crazydoglady123 did you at least get to enjoy your bday? Did your mum come round? X
@Minster2012 got taken down at 145, fuming 😆 how do you not know what a chicken shop is either 😂 it's like a kebab shop but fried chicken. Surely you have those in the north?
@InkyPaper yep all good thank lovely ☺️ how are you?

@Minster2012 ooh house update sounds exciting! Remember I said we were waiting on the next phase to be released? Well it is but the two styles of houses we liked aren't being built this year, boooo! Butttt there's another 4 bed detached one that we like the look of so if I'm up to it by Saturday we'll go take a look!
Ooh have a fun Friday spending! What's toddler day?
@Billythecat missed your cat post! How cute 🥰
@Catherinettc off to try and spy that viral vid now. Sounds hilarious and ingenious to me!! Like you say, she's 20, having fun, not killing anyone! Some ppl jeez 🙄

@Catherinettc love that they all had different ways of putting it in 😂 Spray spray 😏 defo just young girls having a laugh, ppl need to get a grib! We used to smuggle all sorts into pubs bk in the day. The internet's a funny place anyway, ppl think they can just say what they want to complete strangers and hide behind a keyboard/phone, it's not on.

Oh my god yes I forgot the kittens @Billythecat they are so cute!! 😍🥰🥳yessss to the kittens!

@Hopeful110 that sounds so good def good you were checking! No idea if it will show if I'm pregnant or not? I doubt it as they only tend to test for what's on their paper right???

@notyetamumbuttrying ah yesssss we do have those in the towns and especially in Hull! Lots 🤣😂😆Jesus you got me craving all sorts you! How did it go? So a potential new house yeyyyy go see it sat! I'm very excited about this house it's hot huge potential to make it our dream house & it's got land. Toddler day is me at home with DS, today & Friday he's at nursery so my working days, toddler days I'm basically at his mercy so I run round after him and specs a lot of time talking to myself and thinking to myself 🤣😂

Ooh @Minster2012 house sounds very very promising 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Does indeed sound like a good egg @Hopeful110, let's hope the sperm found it and got comfy!

One task to do at work today that I've been putting off for at least a week ergh. But other than that not a lot on, need to go to the post office - have been doing a lot of online shopping which is generally buy 10 things, post 8 back etc etc...!

And my feet are still cold even though I've just come in from the gym!
