[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? 🐣

@MartyMcShy yeah I got like that. Kind of nice not to have to desperately try. So when she said we HAVE to dtd Monday I was like 🤦‍♀️ Another scheduled session.
@Minster2012 yeah I thought it was still day 1 Monday- even though it was 2am Monday morning? So day 4 today? God knows if they were really meant to start day 5 or not. But then I told them Monday when I rang it was day 1 and she rang me back Tuesday having already scheduled my appointments in. 🤷‍♀️ Who knows! I'll know next time by what day I go. 🤣 It still stings now! Was fine at the time. I'll try an ice cube tomorrow.
@2alreadywantanother they probably don't realise to be fair. But if that's how you feel then no, you don't want to be having drinks that weekend! Definitely avoid.

@2alreadywantanother glad you are alive! you take this weekend off and not bitchy at all it's not the weekend to be talking about pregnancy

@paintfairy def try the ice cube, they are stingy bitches

@Dollybird89 I don't know if I've done the grease one but today day off and tomorrow is Pilates for me

@notyetamumbuttrying small world. We need to move a bit closer, the commute is too much and I’ll most likely be looking in London for work and my salary won’t be up to the commute.

Definitely ovulating today or tomorrow. I’ve got those shitting ovulation cramps. Thank god DH is not like huge because it hurts when you a massive 🍆🍆 and cramps. Well it does for me anyway. In an effort to start getting fit again I decided to do a Zumba YouTube video. Lockdown has not been kind to me. It’s warmer so no excuse not to go for walks anymore and get my 10,000 steps in. Tomorrow I’ll actually go in my gym and do a workout.

@notyetamumbuttrying how are you feeling today?
@bez91 oooo there's a few of us close around here by the sounds of it 😁

I want to be near the peak district too! I also sometimes think it's sad I'll never get to see you ladies irl - or if I did I wouldn't even be aware of it! Like Sliding Doors... (the film for you youngsters!)

If some of you are close by you should totally have a meet up some time! Although the rest of us will be left out 😅 you'd need to fill us in.

I love that film @Juno231 and often wonder about my 'sliding doors' moments!!

I'm not a Peak Districter either although it's nicely in the middle for one of my groups of friends so have visited and really liked it!

@DKDK123 wow she's sounds massively insensitive hun, considering she knows what's gone on with you. So sorry to hear this!
@paintfairy ah I bet, must be so weird that you've got to where you are. Think I'll feel the same once ivf starts.
@Katiekattty yep! ah so moving jobs as well then, exciting times ahead! I love Zumba, enjoy 😉
@Kirky658 was ok this morning but feel like I've taken a bad turn all of sudden. Pain doesn't seem to be going even tho I'm keeping up with the meds. Feel so sore!! How are you?
@Juno231 lol I remember sliding doors and know exactly what you mean, very odd isn't it.
@2020mission are you London? I can never remember where ppl are on here.

@notyetamumbuttrying I'm in Glasgow

@notyetamumbuttrying it honestly hasn't sank in yet at all? Its weird. I thought it would seem like a massive deal.
@Juno231 sliding doors 🤣 i actually saw that at the cinema.

The holiday club asked for a Facebook review, based on ds comment on his feedback, this is what I said ( if you know me say hi)
I like to recommend to all parents for their childcare, as the mother of an autistic child it is quite difficult to find childcare that would give me complete peace of mind, but *** help us in any way they can, and accommodate all our child needs, always with a smile and a kind comment, my biggest reassurance is my own child as he says he feels at home and happy there, that everyone is a friend, and all the kids treated like family, so I can go to work without having that little nag on the back of my mind, will he be ok? of course he will

Also just to note how many nasty people you all know, and the hospital plannings, who draw that?
My sil due date was yesterday but still waiting

On the topic of hospital layouts - I once had to have a cystoscopy at the urology dept (so they put a camera up your urethra and inflate your bladder with water) followed by a urine flow test in a special loo. This loo was down the looong corridor of the dept so I had to walk there being held by the nurse whilst my arse was on show in those backless gowns AND the cystoscopy had loosened my urethra so I was just trickling water the whole way. Now who designed that layout?!?!

@Juno231 I remember sliding doors!!

East Yorkshire here!

Bus tour bus tour bus tour 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lovely hello fresh tea tonight, DH approved of this veggie delight, aubergine, miso jasmine rice & tender stem broccoli

Delicious 🥰🍆with extra of that in the meal

For the bus tour, south east

@Minster2012 just read your latest blog... no mention of ovulation here or did I just miss it?? Woo 🎉 😃

North east here lol county durham

@minster2012 just did the burlesque hiit .. I'm pooped out!
Had talks with OH today as appointment coming up soon.. he will most likely have to work so will they kick up a fuss if he doesn't attend the first one? He's adamant there's nothing wrong with his swimmers . Also the whole going on the books still hasn't happened yet so he's still wanting his finances to improve more before having kids. I get it. I wanna have my body working properly so hopinģ clinic will just assess me to start off with

@Catherinettc boobs getting painful, dh getting frustrated, no touching

@Dollybird89 you gotta love the confidence in these guys🤨😳

@2020mission no didn't mention it here, it kind of struck me how it's amazing how at the age of nearly 37 my body is still a genuine mystery & yeah ovulation something a woman takes for granted is a genuine momentous event for me (I'm not saying it's not for all you ladies and you totally get it) so was very joyous but a bit contemplative also. Mainly happy of course but yeahhhhhh 🥳😘

@Dollybird89 will add that to the list! I'm not sure tbh on the first appointment, maybe others can help? Ours you do have to be together for the first call but it doesn't take long

@paintfairy thats exactly what I think! Like my first day or two I'm heavy as in have to change my tampon after just over 2 hours, but then days 3 and 4 I'm light and day 5 it's just brown and I only need a really thin pad if that! Like you say it's hard to know what's heavy and painful!

@notyetamumbuttrying I definitely will be! I mentioned it to the gp over the phone about 6 months ago and they said they wouldn't do tests unless a woman had been trying for a family and was struggling, so I'll definitely ask for answers if nothing happens when we start again!

@DKDK123 so sorry about the scan and SA being on the same day, sending hugs x

So since stopping TTC I haven't had that longing feeling for a child or the need to have one right this second at all, but today I saw 3 pregnancy announcements, my friend who's baby is 16 months, she told me her and her OH are going to start trying in august, and I saw a friend in town who had just been for her 20 week scan, and it hit me like a big fat double decker bus, and I suddenly felt the urge and want to be pregnant and just have that little bump that I just keep thinking I'll never have😩 then me and OH were talking about how amazing our dogs will be with future baby, but it then dawned on us that the eldest one is 11 and I'd hate for him to not be here when we have a baby, I know it sounds ridiculous but I've just felt so emotional about it all day😩

@Franklydear oooh I'm getting excited!! 🤞🤞🤞 although not envious of sore boobs it's a killer 🤦‍♀️ mine lasted for ages this time but on the plus side they are really big now 🤣🤣 always been a small breastfed woman since my eldest dd. I joke how she stole them from me cos she's around that size now lol xx

@Franklydear not breastfed ffs breasted 🤣🤣 xx

@Vil10 aw it's so horrible isn't it? I really worry about grandparents and my dad and if they'll ever meet a baby of mine. I was so pleased when I was pg and due in sept as I really hoped that meant everyone would meet baby (or hoped anyway I guess you never know what's round the corner) also I don't know, this maybe sounds a bit weird but I was so excited to tell my granny she was going to be a great granny and I kind of thought that might keep her going a bit...
I swear every day in the tww has 34 hours not the usual 24 🙄

Anyone know if there is still a thread going for tracking cycles with RHR? I can't seem to find it? Xx

Oh @Vil10 it's not ridiculous for thinking that at all (about DDOG) or about the bump or anything though it will happen once you've had an EPIC holiday

A small breastfed woman ha ha ha ha ha ha ha @Catherinettc @Franklydear now I'm imaging @Franklydear with nipples of 🔥
