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

minstermusings.co.uk for the blog that’s where the full stuff happens too explain my weird story & minstermusings on insta - some of our ladies have made special anonymous accounts so we can link up via me 🥰
If you want to sign up & get updates please do, please note your username if you comment shows up to others so maybe make it anonymous I won’t be offended 😂🤣(unless you are mean)

HollieL567 · 18/04/2021 23:49

Hello lovelies!!
Before I say anything first of all a MASSIVE congratulations to our beautiful bus driver @Minster2012 🎉🎉🥳 I am absolutely over the bloody moon woman! Had tears in my eyes! So so soooo happy for you!! 🌈🍀 We will be here to hold your hand just as you do mine when needed!! ✨

I've had a major catch up today, I took a break for just over a week as I was worrying a lot about the downsyndrome results being 1 in 547, & I'm only 29 it panicked me.. but I am trying to be as positive as possible and get in my head that I am sure everything will be fine! I have a scan on Thursday thanks to my lovely epu where I will be 15 wks 6 days hoping and praying everything still absolutely fine 🤞🏻🍀🌈 il need a hand hold then as be bricking it again. We got some lovely comments & messages when we announced after 12 wks & even flowers at work 🥺😍as a lot of people are aware of what's happened in the past which was so lovely...we only told parents after 12 wk scan aswell and they were all ove the moon...I must admit it feels bizaare for everyone to know as I've been so used to getting so close but then having it ripped away but it's so sooo lovely 🥰

@Vil10 oh my good lord those puppies 😍😍 so so bloody cute! How lovely!!

@Sausage1990 so glad your viability scan went well my lovely. And good on you for the positivity, that's exactly what I tried to tell myself aswell. 💕

HollieL567 · 18/04/2021 23:51

@Minster2012 p.s I forgot to say I was convinced you would be this month I was holding out so much hope when I saw that you got a static and then a few days back when you said your boobs was hurting I thought bloody please this be what I'm hoping! Couldn't be happier for you really couldn't xx

Minster2012 · 19/04/2021 06:39

@DJmum83 definitely shock!! But DH thinks he's a legend, 🙄especially as he spent a fair bit of Easter weekend drunk or hungover, but as my friend says, a lot of the best babies are conceived drunk 🤣🙌🏻🤞🏻your scan will be perfect 💓

@Mococo1 heyyyyyy so glad you and LO are doing great! Thank you so much 🌈🌈🌈😘absolutely bricking it, and feel pretty shit this morning tbh, I'm not sleeping well at all, I think I'm going to be a shit pregnant lady 🤣

@HollieL567 OMG thank you so much 💓🌈and that's so lovely on your work and family, we will be here for you Thursday ☺️

I'm about to screen shot @Sausage1990 message for my mantra & im sorry there might be a blog delay after killing my computer & @blodyn91 the autobiography might have to wait!

I'm watching a programme called "sex map of Britain- seeking semen" about Sperm donation and there's a series of them, the second one is about infections and a guy gets high on drugs and has sex with 6/7 guys a night on drugs 😱what??? But different to call the midwife I watched last night 😲

@Franklydear how are you?

Morning darlings !
Still over the moon for our minster 🌈
Had a lovely weekend, now another week to get through 😂
7dpo today.... symptom spotting... meeee?? Never! 😂
Sex map of Britain sounds... intriguing.

Call the midwife started again last night, can't wait to watch it 🥰

Sausage1990 · 19/04/2021 07:27

@dob78 @Franklydear @minster2012 screen shot away!!! I'm not zen all the time but I'm trying lol and I know you've been trying so hard to stay as calm as possible too @hollieL567 💕 we've got this girls!

Franklydear · 19/04/2021 08:06

@Minster2012 same, big painful boobs, bloated, not quite cramps but maybe gas? bit of nausea cd 23 si close to answer, DH is convinced this is just pms....
@Sausage1990 you are doing fantastic and inspiring us all

Franklydear · 19/04/2021 08:08

On the sleep, we went to bed so late last night, I overslept for over an hour 😲🙄

Kirky658 · 19/04/2021 08:28

@holliel567 will be there to hold your hand on Thursday ❤️ my scan is next Wednesday, getting scared myself now too. I know how you feel about the downs results, if you remember mine was low by comparison, but I've tried to put to the back of my mind for now. Nothing you can do to change the outcome and it is just a statistic x

HollieL567 · 19/04/2021 09:01

@Kirky658 awww thankyou so much 😘😘 that's how im trying to look at it now too. Can't believe your 20 wk scan is next week! We will all be right here with you too 🥰 are you going to find out the sex once you know all is well 15 weeks 3 days and today so far is the first day I've not felt sick...I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing lol. Christ you just analyse everything! Can't wait to be able to just fully enjoy it, I have definitely tried to more since 12 week scan but il relax more after 20 week scan I think 💕 x

Franklydear · 19/04/2021 09:08

@HollieL567 af due on Thursday so holding your hand will be my perfect distraction, you won't worry and I won't test

DJmum83 · 19/04/2021 09:20

@Franklydear I have everything crossed for you this is your month 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
I'm away to my scan an hour drive away I'm really nervous. Speak soon xx

Franklydear · 19/04/2021 09:27

@DJmum83 you'll have a wonderful scan day, I don't know if I am more afraid of af or bfp!
Warning to all: I'll be insufferable for the next few days but you're stuck with me

Juno231 · 19/04/2021 09:30

@Mococo1 so happy to hear from you! Did you have a boy in the end? Congratulations! Can't believe you have a 5 week old baba already Grin How are you settling into motherhood?

Kirky658 · 19/04/2021 09:34

@holliel567 I think it's impossible not to analyse it all to be honest! I started to feel more like myself about 14-15 weeks in. Now I just feel like I've started waddling already 🤣 yes we plan to find out the gender so that will be very excited, DH can't wait, I'm just trying to be the realist and let him know that this scan is the mega important one x

Kirky658 · 19/04/2021 09:35

@franklydear I feel like this is your month ❤️
@djmum83 good luck today lovely x

Minster2012 · 19/04/2021 09:54

Quick shout out to @Crazydoglady123 good luck with your scan today 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

larrythelizard · 19/04/2021 10:58

Loads of scans this weeks, good luck everyone!

I had my results this morning from the dr, basically all on the low side of the ' normal range' (although not yet googled to confirm the medically trained dr is correct...!). He said keep going and then maybe review AMH/options in the autumn.

I had spotting yesterday and a bit crampy today but also nauseous. I assume the nauseous is just my body fucking with me as spotting yesterday+cramps is pretty normal indications of upcoming AF. Just need AF to happen and then i can have a couple of sulky days then get back on it!

DOB78 · 19/04/2021 11:00

@Crazydoglady123 oooogood luck for your scan today

Catherinettc · 19/04/2021 11:14

bez91 · 19/04/2021 11:25

Good luck to you all having scans today/this week 💕

@Catherinettc yayyy fingers crossed it's the real thing!

InkyPaper · 19/04/2021 11:29

Keeping my fingers crossed for you @Catherinettc!!

@Mococo1 great to hear from you! Can't believe your little one is 5 weeks - hope you're both doing OK

Good luck to all those having scans today! Let us know how you get on!

Dollybird89 · 19/04/2021 11:39

@Catherinettc fingers crossed 🤞

Spoke to hospital today and apparently the clinic I was due to go to has been cancelled so I'm back on the waiting list for my 1st appointment again. 🤷‍♀️🙄
