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

@Vil10 OMG LOOK AT THEM!! 💓😍

Minster Melvin IS PERFECT @Catherinettc sorted 🥳🤩and I love your chosen name

@Katao thank you yes I'm trying to think like that, might need a lot of hand holding but will get hope from @Sausage1990 for sure and I'm pleased the break did you good @Katao don't worry if you head off again 😘

@Franklydear I don't care bout girls or boys but it's funny now MIL is like "I don't want a girl in the family now" oh right then 🙄

Il catch up later but is anyone going to IKEA anytime soon??😩😩😩

@Vil10 ohhh puppies! They're making my
own ovaries hurt 😍 oh god, good night then. I can't remember the last time I was that wrecked 😂 hope you're not feeling rough.

I've joined insta ladies, will try and find a few of you!

@bez91 picture of rainbow gloves to find me in insta

I forgot how quick this bus moves. There's definitely some BFPs I've missed so congratulations to anyone I've missed whilst I've been hiding under my duvet ignoring all babies and pregnant women!!!
I'm loving all the fur baby pictures, so cute.
I've decided if we aren't successful this month we're having a break from ttc its breaking my heart each month. I've been taking every vitamin I could find thats supposed to help just waiting for those 2 pink lines next weekend🤞

@Vil10 they are too cute 😍😍😍

@blodyn91 I'm pleased everything turned out OK for you! Thanks for the update. Congratulations! 🥳 I hope it wasn't too awful, I never want to think about birth that much. Never sounds great, does it?
@Vil10 ooohhh puppies! Yay. Less yay for the sick. 🤣

@minster2012 I'm excited that we are both December due dates atm!!! I mean all being well then I definitely will be given its current 6th December but lush to have you join the December dates!!! And @Katao is right, joint me on the my mission to stay as positive and chilled as possible while we keep these babies in & cooking... We can hold each others hands because it's definitely not easy. But we can do this 💪🏻

@Katao thank you lovely. I am trying really hard to keep my head space as positive as possible. I think what's helping me is just the realisation that I have zero control of the outcome of this pregnancy at this stage. The lack of control is scary & I hate it but the fear & worry will not make the pregnancy successful, it's just going to make the journey miserable. So I decided that I'm going to do what I can to control what I can... I can control what I eat & drink (well to some extent, because food aversions & nausea have fully hit so that's more of a struggle but I'm still trying to make better choices when I'm able), I can control the supplements I take, the sleep & rest I get, and my mental health & head space. I'm focusing in keeping my anxiety as low as possible in work (which is easier said than done) and keep reminding myself that as of right now I'm pregnant. I have my precious little blueberry growing and I am creating the best environment that I can. And I will be happy & look forward to his/her future... We will cross each milestones bridge as they come and I won't allow myself to worry prematurely. It's hard to quiet the doubt and fear but I'm trying to do it in like "no I will not let those thoughts come in right now" and I repeat the types of things I wrong above. After loss you realised that you cannot prepare yourself for loss, no matter how many times you tell yourself that this could go wrong, and I did alot last time, it didn't make the loss easier. So this time I'm just not doing it. If god forbid this doesn't end well then nothing worrying now won't make it easier.

So do address with the anxiety & worry by talking to DH or my friend and pre-scan I had a big cry the day before, but postive mental attitude & positive vibes are all that I'm focusing on...🌈💕✨🤞🏻

Wow sorry unexpected waffle there. Oops!!!

@cathertinettc Caolan is a lovely name. We are considering names with an Irish side as FIL's family are Irish!

@vil10 omg those puppies!!! 🥰 Hope you're feeling a bit better this evening xx

@lucyrp sorry I don't have an IKEA near me 😞

@bez91 obviously I'm minstermusings! Who are you?!

@DOB78 ooo let's hope for next weekend then, after a few ppl on here I think! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Sausage1990 thank you so much, I shall try to remember that and channel your zen too. I need to read up on the whole "what do I have to avoid eating" etc 🙄

@Somatronic thank you so much 💓🙌🏻🥳

So we've made our offer on the house, and they are thinking tonight on the offers 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻more good luck needed ladies please

@Sausage1990 🥰🌈 keep going as you are going, you are doing great. Everything crossed for you x

@lucyrp we were going to but think we'll wait a while because of crazy crowds 😱 how come?

@blodyn91 aww congrats 🎉🎉

@Franklydear yay, congrats auntie! 🎉🎉

@Minster2012 exciting! Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

We finally have a move in date! Picking up the keys on the 28th and move in 1st may woop woop. Can't wait 🕺🏽

We've been across the country to see some family today and it's been lovely.

Spotting that's turned up less lovely. Starting to feel cramps so that's AF on its way. Oh well, will give it another go next month! Next month is the last opportunity to be more than 12 weeks before July stuff where it'll be awkward to be secretly preggo.

Tempted to put DH on tomato supplements, what did you all have your DH's taking??

LOVE the puppy pics @Vil10 🥰🥰🥰

Omg @minster2012 YES!! Get in there ya beauty. I'm absolutely buzzing for you my lovely. You have the biggest heart 💕💕 and deserve all things good. Omg I'm so excited for u xx

So I wad mad horny fri, dtd. Nipples mad sensitive since.
So the last few mths my RHR would rise a few days b4 ovulation, so Id ovulate at the peak of it. Prior to mmc it would rise and I'd ov in 1st/2nd day of rise. Well my RHR was flat lining there and now gone mad.
I cant figure this crap out at all lol. No opks, no bbt, just taking a more relaxed approach 🤞

@Minster2012 found you 😊 yessss on the offer, hopefully more good news for you tomorrow 😬

@Vil10 such cute puppies! Congratulations 🥳
@blodyn91 congratulations on your new arrival!
@Minster2012 yay to putting the house offer in, that's mega!
@Franklydear congrats on the new nephew!

I broke my phone, screens gone kaput so using the iPad, feel like I using my left hand or something. Anyway line of duty time now😃

@Sausage1990 what an amazing positive attitude you have I wish you could bottle it up and send some my way. That's a brilliant way to think about pregnancy and all the uncertainty it brings. If we get out BFP this month I am gonna read that message over and over again

@2alreadywantanother I've been trying to use fitbit rhr and I haven't got a clue what it's doing. I don't seem to have a base line but to be honest I've been ttc since I've got it in December and had 2 losses in that time so don't think I've had a "normal" cycle to compare it to.
I think it's a good sign that it's going up like that though......

@blodyn91 Congratulations!!!!

@DOB78 If I get a bfp I am printing @Sausage1990 message to read it over and over and over again

Omg firstly I'm so sorry I have been missing but I have really not been well.
@Minster2012 massive congratulations this is fantastic I'm so pleased and you so deserve this rainbow baby.

@Franklydear I'm sorry I haven't wrote to you we haven't been staying at the house as getting decorated got back today and I got the baby shoes and I love them thank you so so much. And congratulations on becoming an auntie.

I'm 13 weeks and have my scan tomorrow,
Been so ill still not feeling great but it's a bit better.

I'm still in shock @Minster2012 actually have tears in my eyes I'm so happy for you xx

@DJmum83 oh that's lovely, not the sickness, I was just getting a bit worried for the radio silence but the ladies said you were suffering a bit with sickness, I am very glad you like them 🥰

Moving date @Justanothercyster that's so bloody exciting!! 💃🏼😀🤩🥳

@larrythelizard god damn spotting that's annoying, and is it the hen do in July or a wedding? On the tomato's, ours are futureyouhealth (& ive also been taking their co-enzyme10, their vitamin C, blood flow & krill oil 🤣) I posted a 20% off discount code recently I had not sure I have it now though

@2alreadywantanother thank you sooooooo much!!! 🙌🏻💓😘just need it to stick I'm so bloody scared! Downing my baby aspirins! I've sent yours, I mean you sound soooooo relaxed with your approach 🤣🤔

@notyetamumbuttrying don't spoil line of duty we are saving it to binge!! 😬😆and omg laptop knackered here and I'm in big trouble 🙄

@DJmum83 why are you apologising??? Do you feel any better? Hope you do and 13 weeks already! Good luck tomorrow! Thank you my lovely so much 😘🥰

Thanks @minster2012

@dob78 I had a mmc in sept, after only starting to ttc. Nothing since. No idea what's going on. Thought I'd catch quick enough again but nope 😭

@Minster2012 better than I was but still not great. Just hope everything is ok at my scan tomorrow.

I bet hubby and you were in total shock when you seen that pregnancy test. It was meant to be xxx
