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

What will April bring? 🐣

Missed your second post @Minster2012 on the house. Great news, just bang on about it to DH, that's what I did and he soon saw what I saw about the potential 😂 it was untouched for 55 years when we moved in. It lacks character but we've made up for that in the inside. I'm sure you can win him round!

@blackcurrantqueen that's good news, I'm pleased to hear they've been so good with you too, really takes the worry out of it if the pharmacy have already thought ahead for you.

@notyetamumbuttrying yes but this was just inside uterus I think I've also got maybe endo or something on the outside. But the inside looked good 👍🏼 I get a lot of left sided pain but the good news is nothing obvious inside!

@larrythelizard yes in all honesty I wish they'd find a problem to 'fix' 😢 but I've just got to hope it's going to be my time one day soon!

@bez91 thank you! Yes I'm really hoping it will all be as easy as they've made out 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@2alreadywantanother of course and no need for that please just pm me your address love xx

@Justanothercyster I think men either totally "have vision" or nothing 🤣😂he'll soon relent to shut me up. He knows it makes sense 🙄@bez91 he will relent!!

@blackcurrantqueen im very glad you are being looked after, you deserve it now time to get that sticky sassy rainbow bean 🤣😂🙌🏻🥰shiny womb! Ready for sperm crypts eh @larrythelizard 🤣love that!

@larrythelizard I think so many more appointments will carry on like that Cos surely they can fit more in??

@minster2012 I've always been an easy target when it comes to bloods lol I used to donate my blood a while back so I'm a walking talking pin cushion. Doggy is all good.. she's just become incredibly needy and don't like to be left alone .. I was only in Drs for 10 min and came out and she was howling in the car bless her .

Did someone mention a fitbit group on here?

@blackcurrantqueen ah I see! So is a lap next then?
@Dollybird89 ahh your doggo sounds cute! I'm the opposite with blood, they can never find a decent vein 😂

I actually wore my jacket in the doctors waiting room to make sure my arm was warm and the vein up top 😆 didn't want the stress of her struggling to find it with the needle. It seemed to work as she had the needle in within seconds 😅

Will now @minster2012

I think blooming Premom App dates are wrong. I’m now getting high on OPK. Awesome 🤣🤣🤣 lots of DTD more this week.

@Kirky658 we aren't a million miles from the peak district either!
@Minster2012 house situation sounds good if you've got a plan. Hopefully something will come up! I'd love to move. I really want to live in a village. In a house with no neighbours. 🤣
@blackcurrantqueen I thought mine wasn't bad either. Tiny cramping but very short lived and I just focused on staying relaxed. Nowhere near like AF pains. Nothing really came out after either. I have just had a horrible period though, so that's a possibility...... having googled apparently that can happen as its all the crap being got rid of! I was full of crap it seems..... 🤣

@blackcurrantqueen glad it went OK today hun, rest up.
@notyetamumbuttrying I tried to find your post and without your name I gave up 🤣 too many posts! Yeah I thought mine was pretty bad, then when I saw the consultant for my follow up he went "pftt you're lucky, that's not severe, I see ladies who have colostomy bags" which put me in my place for sure!!!! To me it was severe causing so much pain. But hey ho!

@paintfairy awww cool where are you, I am Staffordshire x

@Kirky658 my profile picture looks like this if that helps 👩🏾‍🦱👨🏻‍🦲 that's literally what we look like, hilarious 🤣 we're stood on a beach.
These drs are never very sympathetic are they. So how long after surgery did pregnancy happen or did you have it ages before ttc?

@paintfairy I think @blackcurrantqueen had a hysteroscopy rather than your hsg/hycosy!

Glad it went well @blackcurrantqueen but frustrating they didn't combine it with a lap to check the outside!

@Dollybird89 it's @DKDK123 that is the fitbit queen among us - DM her to be added I think!

@notyetamumbuttrying did you have a pre assessment meeting for the lap? Just realised I haven't received an appointment for mine yet so will call the surgery tomorrow to enquire.

@Kirky658 gosh now I'm worried my surgeon is a general gyno too 🙊

Ds is making me watch the sewing bee, yes, he is still up🙈🤦🏼‍♀️, he filled the questioner from the council about his holiday club, he says it’s a great place where everyone is friends and every kid is treated as family and they try to make you feel happy, not bad from an autistic child, I have not doubt this is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth

@juno231 thank you 🤗😁

@juno231 don't worry some are more knowledgeable than others!
@notyetamumbuttrying so had the second surgery end of June 2020, started trying end of July ish, then got my BFP in Jan 😘❤️

@Katiekattty get on that 🍆🍆🍆🍆🍆🍆

@Kirky658 im sorry but your comment made me giggle, as someone who had a colostomy bag for a year (ileostomy) and has had a reversal which still affects my daily life forever in many ways yes it's not nice at all but we all have our struggles & (I'm guessing HE) is pretty belittling there, don't you worry bout it.

@paintfairy we have a plan, I just need DH to get on board & I also want to live in a village in a house with no neighbours, this house is on the fringe of a village so very tranquil, only one neighbour, he wants to live on a hill ideally. Humph. I didn't want to mention you were full of 💩😬😜🤪

@Dollybird89 doggo just loves you sooooooo much!! 😘

@Franklydear I didn't realise seeing bee was on will catch up tomorrow, holiday club sounds amazing, where we off?!

Right over & out, night ladies x

@Juno231 don't they still use dye? Oh god knows. Messing about causes bad things to happen after. That's all i know. 🤣
@Kirky658 I'll pm you
@Minster2012 I might like to live in your village then! 😆

@Minster2012 me neither, but it came on and he insisted in watching, holiday club is just our childcare, for school holidays and after school club, they are fantastic, but is really rewarding to see that he really appreciates the effort, scrutiny and expense I put on to find him the best possible place, especially at a time I am fighting the world for a school place instead of accepting what is given, I’ll tell the ladies tomorrow too, see? this is why i grilled you so much....
You need to update us on the house saga
Why are all (male) doctors so rubbish, I feel blessed to have an all male team for my care, at the moment...

Ps all female team, autocorrect🤨

@Minster2012 we plan to do the same sort of village move as well. We’re selling up and hopefully moving closer to our final place this year. I’ve converted from never wanting to leave London to thinking these people are on to something.

Morning!

@Franklydear yes holiday club I used to work in the local council school holiday club for kids every summer as a volunteer from the age of 14 then paid as a sports leader from 16 so I think I know what you mean, like couple hour sessions we used to do of sports or games they were fab I LOVED doing it & did my sports leader awards. Very rewarding! What's the latest on the schools?

DH really not convinced on the house at all, he gets it as in we can make it our own but he REALLY doesn't like the actual house, his words "it needs a bulldozer" which is ridiculous. The issue we always face is he's 6'6" and this place didn't have the vast high ceilings of a Georgian house or like our barn conversion we had to raise the beams then it's vaulted so you get that height. This one has lower ceilings and a lot north facing so it's a cramped feeling for him and quite dark in a lot of bits we'd keep (living room/study/snug) and I can't work out where to put a bigger utility room which is near a door to be useful & must for us else the dogs are going outside in the kennel. He'd love that, dogs & I not so much. Hmmmm we continue.

@Katiekattty even my brother who is (now) London through and through wants to move out (granted he wants to emigrate to Canada though where his girlfriend is from) and take our nephew 😞but we don't mind too much

@Juno231 I did yeah, it was about 3 weeks before surgery. You get bloods taken, swabs, weighed and measured etc.
@Kirky658 ah ok so about 6 months later. You due in October then?
@Katiekattty we're leaving London too! Can't wait! It's always been the plan tho as I'm not from here and Dh is. He's taken years of coaxing but is finally onboard now, yay! Where you hoping to move to?

@minster2012 he was a bit of a asshole but I saw his point ha
@notyetamumbuttrying due 15th September 😆
