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

@blackcurrantqueen it still tasted good but not as good as if it was 5%🤣 yeah well we've had the free box and out second one is coming today as I want to try it for a couple of weeks as I'm terrible with food shopping. I hate going every week so try to go every 2-3 weeks which is fine if I go sainsburys but if I go aldi the fruit and veg has gone off after a few days and I end up wasting so much so trying to see if the hello fresh actually saves me any money 🙈

@larrythelizard Thankyou!! It's taken me a while but I'm the zone now!

@Minster2012 that's the plan, Minster sequel buses can come and tour and see you all with your babies!! Love them both but pink is my fave I think!!

@bez91 Thankyou xx

@paintfairy oh god that sounds awful!! Maybe we're just women who have bad periods and there's nothing behind it🤞🏼

@notyetamumbuttrying you'll get there! How're you feeling now?x

TANNOY ANNOUNCEMENT!

PUPDATE!! She had them in the night!! Started at 11 last night, had 1 15 minutes ago, don't know if there's more, 10 pups so far!!🐶

Omg @Vil10 10?!

@Franklydear 10!! We thought average littler size was 5/6 so was expecting 5😂

Whoop now there's a baby announcement I like @Vil10...10 puppies?!?! Can't wait for photos!!

@paintfairy maybe it's the hormone change that's caused your migraine. The Dr I saw about mine said ibuprofen is better than paracetamol (although you can only take paracetamol if pregnant so you may need to stick with it?). Hoping you feel better this morning.

Up with DS this morning as DH has gone out so no time to even think of POAS with my FMU...although 'symptoms' have subsided so assume it's the progesterone backing out - this is 7DPO and Luteal phase has been mainly around 9 days...so I'm thinking I'm out and AF is on her way.

@Vil10 TEN!!!! Omg I want one 😭😭😭 can't wait for pictures. That's come round quick !!

@larrythelizard stay away from the piss chip sticks 😂 bodies are annoying aren't they!!!

Pupdates yessssssssssssssssss @Vil10 AMAZING go DDOG!

@vil10 omg amazing!!!! Can't wait to see pics 😍

Hi Ladies, good to be back needed a little break from TTC chat after our 2nd CP. Back in the game now and in 2ww.
I hope you're all doing OK and your journeys are going as planned.
Tad embarrassing story to get my ticket back decided to shave the foo for the 1st time ever, oh my god!!! Ssssoooo itchy sitting on my heads in work trying not to scratch my foo........never again!!!

@larrythelizard @Minster2012 @blackcurrantqueen @Kirky658 PUPDATE....12!!! We think she's done now! I can't believe it, my boy with the super spunk💪🏽

@Vil10 well at least someone has superspunk! 🤣 Can't wait for photos!
@larrythelizard I'm only cd6 today so I just took ibuprofen last night when I went to bed. I was past caring. I had a good night's sleep though.
@lucyrp yeah we find that with aldi veg! What's that about?!

Aww @Vil10 that's so amazing!! Absolutely can't wait for the pictures!! That can't be the dog you think won't be around to see you have a baby?!! Super sperm dog!!

@DOB78 god I've done it before and never again, the itchiest thing on the planet!

@larrythelizard you aren't out yet darling 😘🤞🏻

@2020mission haha I meant the quality I suppose. We might have been just unlucky with recipes but of the few weeks we trialled we only liked 2 🙈

@lucyrp cheffy as in the taste combos, the recipes are super easy haha.

@Vil10 wow congrats on pups! 💕

@paintfairy hahahaha I thought this!! I said to OH if only we were as fertile as our dog and the bitch😂

@Minster2012 no no this is the one we got last year, he's 4 so he'll be here for many years!! I can't believe how many pups there is, we all thought maximum 6😂

@Justanothercyster Thankyou!!

I'll post pics soon x

So I didn't say yesterday that the house we are seeing fir a second time today, the one I want, the other couple (cash buyers) have made an offer 😭😭😭we are still in the game but the estate agent wanted to know if we might be serious. I said yes, didn'lt tell DH, 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Ah no @minster2012 we had a bidding war on our house, I just kept going up 1k and we won 😍 here 3yrs in june and love it.

10 pups, omg I want 1. Dh wont let me have another lol we have our rescue baby paige, who's spoilt rotten.

I dont think my friends are been insensitive but just the wkend that's in it, I dont feel up to talking about her pregnancy. I know if it was me it's all I'd want to talk about. So todays the day 😭💔 I'm ok so far, bit weepy. Think I ovulated late last night, so I stopped all opks and bbt etc last wk. Give myself a break and try to be more relaxed. So yesterday got the kids from school, DH finishes early on a fri so we did a few bits, then home. Its 4pm and I'm mad horny. Like wtf 🤣🤣🙈 kids in their rooms and didn't want going out to play 🤬 lol so we had to make do with the situation and DTD in the bathroom 😉 who says romance is dead. Then last night, my nipples were so sore and sensitive and I'd ovulation cramps. My RHR has spiked too so fingers 🤞 what's what chances of conceiving on my due date ❣🤔

Ffs 😭💔 just had letter come saying my appointment on 28th may has been cancelled 😭 got to wait for another one now. Pissed off don't even come close

@dollybird89 sorry, Mia alot. What was ur apt for

@Vil10 omg 12 puppies !!

@paintfairy I think I've read somewhere that's why it's so cheap because the high up supermarkets get first choice of the veg so they get the best and then like aldi is bottom tier so they get what's left basically. Don't know how true that is though

@Dollybird89 they've cancelled your appointment?! Why??? No wonder you're pissed off, I'd be the same! Big hugs ♥️

@Vil10 omg 10 puppies!! Congratulations! Sounds like the start of 101 Dalmatians 😂

@Minster2012 just read your latest blogs - yaaaaaaaaaasssssss for confirmed ovulation!! 🎉🎉 Keeping my fingers crossed on the house front for you 🤞

On the Hello Fresh/Gousto debate, I've had Hello Fresh before and I didn't think there was much variety really (this was before the gf thing kicked in for me). Do Gousto do any gf recipes?? And do they take long to cook?? 😂 DH is so impatient and he hates meals that take longer than like 30-40 minutes to cook. That's partly why we went with Simply Cook, because they're generally all ready within like 30-35 minutes. They only give the stock and spices though, you have to buy the ingredients yourself (usually only like 4-5 things).

Work has absolutely kicked my arse this week but on the bright side the doctor's surgery finally called to book my second blood test! It's in two weeks 🤣 I mean, there's a chance I could still be on the same cycle then but...unlikely. however, as long as it gets the fertility referral, I don't care!!

@catherinettc I developed pre e, which they detected from high BP, protein in urine and kidneys starting to fail. I know its scary but try not to worry, if they do suspect pre e they'll start monitoring you very closely for any changes but obviously if you spot any changes yourself (like headaches, blurred vision or swelling more than usual) go to the hospital to be monitored. They may give you steroid injections soon as a precaution to help strengthen babies lungs just incase it does need to come out early. If they do suspect pre e worsening be prepared for a hospital stay till baby is born so make sure you have a bag packed with lots of things to keep you occupied just incase and think of the positives of a hospital stay like not having to cook and clean 😉. Hopefully you don't need to tho and you can rest up at home, not long to go now you're nearly there about to finally meet your wee baby 😊

@Minster2012 loving the wellies so jealous! 😊 Fingers crossed on the house 🤞

@Dollybird89 gutting on the appointment. Was it a physical one? Mine was a physical one that got cancelled then the next day a letter came thru for a phone call appointment instead. It wasnt any extra waiting I think they just have to go thru the system of cancelling the physical one before booking the phone one, maybe its that?

I got my hello fresh order delivery last night so excited to start trying it, I love the convenience of everything being in separate grab and go meal bags so I don't need to faff around looking for ingredients. Let's see if it passes the taste test and fussy DH this week 🤞. I have a £20off for a friend code if anyone wants it? (It also gives me money off my next order just to let you know).

Something unexpected happened yesterday, SIL came round for a garden visit which I was dreading pretending to be happy and actually in the end I really enjoyed it and I felt genuinely happy for her and happy to talk about her pregnancy and all things baby without wanting to cry. I didnt need to pretend, the feelings were genuine, no idea how or why it changed but now I'm really excited about my new niece or nephew, what a difference 24 hours can make. 😁

@Vil10 forgot to add my excitement over the puppies!!!! Go your super sperm dog, can't wait to see the photos please spam us with loads of pupdates 😍

@Minster2012 keeping everything crossed for house news🤞🏼

@2alreadywantanother 12 pups!! Sending hugs your way❤️

@lucyrp @InkyPaper 12 pups!!! Crazy!!

@DKDK123 I'll post loads soon!! We're taking him to the beach today as a treat, he's never been before!

@DKDK123 thanks mrs. Everything packed and in the car all good to go just incase. Had a bit of swelling but nothing to write home about so just keeping an eye on it and taking it easy ❤ xx

@Minster2012 I've dm u on Instagram ❤❤❤ ie answer!! 🤣🤣 xx

Hi ladies I'm so sorry I've been MIA. That really wasn't my intention. 24/7 nausea & fatigue while covering extra stuff in work has been kicking my arse and I've bearly had the energy to read the threads let alone reply to anything. I'm so sorry that I've missed so much but super exciting about the puppies @vil10 😍😍😍

Update from me I'm about 7weeks ish, had my viability scan this week and we have a heartbeat which is great news. I've got another scan at the start of May after the 9 week mark to make sure it's all still OK (that's when baby stopped developing last time) so I'm focusing on positive things until we cross that bridge 💕

Have I missed any BFPs or any other updates? Sorry again for being MIA, I hope you girls are all doing OK xxx
