Egg hunters vs the virgin wife - find the BFP - TTC bus 36

[Minster2012]

Ok so we need to get back to us ladies, back to fun games, POAS & getting fit, but you need to help me Cos Minster is flagging with a fuck boy body worse than the rest 🥺

Guess what...it’s nearly Easter & know what that means! 🐰🐣...We don’t want the 🐰to have the fun but bloody hell sometimes it’s a f*cling egg hunt all right 🙈🤣.

March and April we’ve got a lot of exciting times ahead with people going for Clomid & IVF as well as a lot of straight up sex for the “normal” TTC gang so let’s get shagging & FIND THOSE 🐣🌈.

We are still working on our spring challenges alongside trying to get pregnant and we’ve had great results so far- feel free to have a catch up on those and add your own.

And we are still helping each other get fitter, more positive through sharing small changes we are making in our lives and trying to inspire & support each other with these too...as well as of course being there for each other during the sad times.

And if you see mention of my blog then blame these guys they made me do it...#shamelessplug

@Hopeful110 relax, you're not even late yet, the line cannot be blinding
@Justanothercyster the best thing you can do us relax too, at this stage you need all the energy you can get
@Juno231 that is so wrong, have you run out of options? 😠
@Haiyaa yes, mother of boy 1 is specially annoying as you can never say anything to her little cherub in case of meltdown, DH asked how am I going to manage this, I am not, I am just gonna let her fall on her face @notyetamumbuttrying is a long process hun, but if this school is good I can cut off some time and won't need to go to court, I emailed the senco this morning to give her a few points of interest in advance, and put a bit of pressure to do call me... and happy birthday 🎁🎂 and to @haiyaa's DD too
@Minster2012 welcome to the world of school nightmares! If this works, I can ask today for the change of school and be sorted by the middle of next week, which will be record time, but you guys know me when I am on a mission, nobody mistreat my boy and lives to tell the tale, sorry I haven't been there so much this time for you, but I've been in battle, one of my work teen-agers said it's like you can't think of anything else, have a chat with you mother, dear...

@notyetamumbuttrying Happy Birthday!🥳🥰❣️🎂🎁🎉🎈

@Justanothercyster I had many cramps right at the beginning. I'm still getting cramp like feelings now. Please try not to worry ❣️

@notyetamumbuttrying happy birthday lovely lady!! Hope you have a fab weekend🥂💓

@Minster2012 wooo let's get t shirts🥳🥳

@Hopeful110 sorry this morning's test isn't more reassuring. With retesting just do whatever you feel is best, test later if that answers more questions for, wait until tomorrow if testing too often will stress you out x

@notyetamumbuttrying hsg went fine and informal feedback was that everything looked normal. Wow you seem to be powering ahead with things, that's great. I'm sorry you aren't having a happier birthday. I can understand that 35 is one of those milestones in fertility so you feel the emphasis of it today but you are really making progress lately and you will get there, think ahead to next year's birthday and what that could hold 🥰

@HappyMrsR my dd is also 7 and we got our bfp the month that I wasn't properly tracking as I was having a bit of a grump about it all taking so long and took a step back. All I've done since mid January is worry 🙈

@Justanothercyster I've been getting mega stabbing pains with certain movements since about 5 weeks, terrified me but mw said it's just everything stretching. Didn't calm me or reassure me in any way because I'm a worrier but hopefully your scan on Monday will put your mind at ease.

@Hopeful110 I can see a line on both yesterday's and today's. Ages ago someone posted a link on here about fmu not always being the most reliable wee to use, I think the jist of it was that at certain points after O that smu or evening was better to test with.
Does that mean if I dig out my festival pants from YEARS ago I get to be 17 again?! I love this idea 😂

@Vil10 I roll my eyes at OH and his ego some days I'm sure I'm going to detach a retina! But as you said they wouldn't be the same without it! Teams meeting for work on Wednesday night and he was standing outside the kitchen window giving me his best magic Mike impressions 🙈 jokes on him because I just explained what he was up to and had half my colleagues in kinks, wasn't quite mean enough to turn the camera round 😂

@bez91 purgatory is probably the best description of the first trimester I've ever heard 👏🏻👌🏻

@Franklydear I can't believe the other mums would say anything seeing as they should know and understand autism a little better as their sons are also autistic. I love that you tell him you still have your own questions and when you get answers you will tell him 💕

@notyetamumbuttrying happy birthday 🥳 hope you have a lovely day whatever you are doing. Definitely get yourself an adult pick n mix, maybe even two, it's your birthday after all. A day of food sounds awesome!

@Haiyaa happy birthday to DD, hope she also has a lovely day 🎂🎁🥳

@Minster2012 does that mean you normally only get af for 3 days? I was cursed with 6 days of af!

Happy Friday everyone 😁

@Minster2012 thanks love ❤️ I had some random Eton mess sweets this morning and they were yummy! Just stuffed down American pancakes with bacon and scrambled eggs so set for the morning now.
We have a viewing tomorrow! 🎉 so will see what that brings, thanks for asking xx
@Justanothercyster thanks just a lot of eating mainly 😂 just finished breakfast of American pancakes and bacon with scrambled eggs 😋 glad you're feeling better hun x
@Sausage1990 thank you 😊
@Franklydear thank you 😊 I hope they are good, sounds like hard work!
@lucyrp @Vil10 thank you 😊
@Katao glad it all looked normal! U got any next steps? Thanks so much for saying that, that's a great way to look at it! 😘

Thanks @Gem176 I've been sent a few chocolates as well so I'll defo be well fed today 🥳 hope you're well today?! X

What's with everyone having a bad night sleep last night...my DS woke me up at 3am to tell me he couldn't get back to sleep so had to sit in his bed with him till he went back off 🤦🏽‍♀️

@Minster2012 that's a good sign that your AF is becoming more established this cycle! Yeah, my OH couldn't even deal with seeing the needles on the teams meeting yesterday and is pranging out about his blood test this afternoon today so I will be doing mine myself 🙈

@notyetamumbuttrying sending more happy birthday wishes on this bus too 🥂😂

Happy Birthday to your DD @Haiyaa! Mines 9 and just growing up so fast 🥺 I swear this week he looks a lot older now too! Keeping everything crossed that AF stays away for you 🤞

Glad you're feeling better @Justanothercyster

@justanothercyster I'm coming out in sympathy with you today, I just feel awful. So exhausted and worn out. I got up at 6:30, walked the dog and then promptly slept again. Trying to work but feel awful and can't concentrate. Genuinely considering ringing my boss to say I'm taking the rest of the day off but I feel guilty because I know physically I'm fine I just need to nap for a few hours then I'll be OK!

Too many of you to tag but thankyou so much ladies! All of you 😘 You've helped keep me sane! I'm gonna hold off testing until Sunday if I can help it :)
@Gem176 I found it :) thankyou lovely! And yes!! Get those panties out from our younger days and get em onnnnnn 🤣😉 its defo the best motto when it comes to birthdays and being another year older lol!

@Crazydoglady123 haha thanks mate 😆 hope you got bk to sleep? 3am sounds rough!
@Hopeful110 well done 👏🏾will have fingers crossed for you x

@notyetamumbuttrying they are good, is just the intensity of autistic children relationships, emotions run high with schools as they can make or break your children, so I am trying to keep a much cooler head than I feel, I met mum 2 for a couple of hours today, she is a really good support for me, she's hoping the boys can stay together but obviously doesn't want to put any pressure

@notyetamumbuttrying glad it helped 😘 OH has SA next week and after that just waiting to be called back to discuss results.

@notyetamumbuttrying I'm well thank you, I have a block of fancy cheese and a pack of crackers, not quite chocolate or American pancakes but I'm happy 😂 early lunch for me as dd gets out of school at 12:15 on a Friday.

@Hopeful110 glad you found it, I was getting nowhere and actually thought I had either made it up or read it on another thread 🙈😂 I got a decent line from a 4 hour hold in the evening on the day af was due. Next day I did fmu and the line was maybe a bit lighter so I'd go for as long a hold as you can rather than fmu. Possibly give it a day or two as gives hcg a chance to build and give you that blazing line 😊
OH is going to be so confused by the girl boxers with "T in the Park" across the front 😂😂😂😂

@Hopeful110 fingers crossed for Sunday for you!!

Ladies, I rang GP about 4 weeks ago about all mid cycle bleeding I've been having. Had my phone appointment just now and she wants me to go in for an examination this afternoon. Is it safe to be violated at 3dpo 😂

Happy Birthday @notyetamumbuttrying 🎂🥳🎉

@Hopeful110 tentative congrats, I can definitely see those lines. That's what my bfp looked like although it was much clearer after a couple of days. I know the wait to test again is excruciating though!

I hope everyone's else is doing okay, I get a bit confused what's going on with who 🙈

I finally got my BFN this morning! I never thought I'd be praying for a blank test but now that it's here I feel like it's all finally over and I can start again. I was told to wait to try until after my first period but that seems a waste of a good egg! So I think we'll not prevent but I won't do opks either. Then next cycle it's all go go go!

Happy Birthday @notyetamumbuttrying hope you have a lovely day!

I mean never say never @Minster2012 but I'd be the most surprised person ever!

I'm sorry if you've said @Hopeful110 but how many DPO are you? Deffo good to still have a faint line!

That's good you have an appt next week @blackcurrantqueen a friend of mine finally had her baba after 4 or 5 MCs after being under the care of the recurrent miscarriage clinic so it's a good thing.

Is there a different GP you can register with @Dollybird89 - yours sound not good enough!

Sounds like progress @Madeoftea!

I'm going to go back to work for a bit today, DH is quite annoyed about it but I feel so much better and want to clear some emails. Also need to work out when day20 is next cycle and re-book blood tests.

I am now so desperate for lockdown to be over, I think with my health thing last week I'm more desperate than ever to see friends and family who don't live in my town. Not long now really!

@notyetamumbuttrying Happy birthday! 🥳🎂

Sorry I've missed all the tagged messages currently at my dads waiting to stream a funeral 😐 so far days been a disaster .. dogs escaped off back garden and ran into a car! Luckily they are ok but scared the crap outa me!

As for Drs it's a woman who apparently is specialised in women's fertility! I've seen numerous Drs at my surgery and she's about the best of the bunch! And it's only Drs in my area... joys of being in countryside!

Happy days, DH gets his vaccine next week as an unpaid carer for DS, on the school front still on it

@bez91 I was violated today at 5 DPO for a smear after telling my GP about spotting 😅 you're not alone!

@Madeoftea glad you got the BFN you wanted, I've been in the same boat and it's so weird wishing a negative but for me it did feel like a bit of closure on the MC. Good to hear it sounds you're feeling positive too!

@larrythelizard are you feeling much better?

@Franklydear yayy to DHs vaccine 💉

@2020mission oh good 😅 she actually rang me back before my app today and did a u-turn and told me not to come in for an examination. My appointment was purely about the bleeding mid cycle but obviously had to talk about previous 2 MCs etc. She's decided to get my bloods done at next AF between 2-5 days then the 21 day bloods she says to see if I'm ovulating and if bleeding could be related 🤷‍♀️, I'm a bit confused as they're obviously the fertility tests and I'm not quite at the 1 year mark yet but I suppose it sets things in motion earlier if I need to see a specialist.

Anyone got exciting plans for the weekend? I've sent DH to the shop for some non-alcoholic beer - absolutely wild 😜

That's good @bez91 that they're getting things moving.

I rebooked my bloods for next cycle today and it all got very confusing as things have all changed 'because of covid' even though I only booked it a few weeks ago and lockdown is coming to an end?! Mainly annoying because I now have to drive to their main clinic about an hour away instead of a satellite clinic 15 mins up the road!

@bez91 I thought I was feeling better but an hour on a screen earlier wiped me out - headache came back with a vengeance and had to have a nap. Might be more of a phased return than I thought! Humph.!

@notyetamumbuttrying Eton mess sweets?! OMG sound amazing!

Sorry late check in. Fuck me ladies NEVER paint windows the saga continues, the sun has melded on the decorators masking tape I used on the ONE goddamn window I chose to be diligent one and use it just happened to be a big one and I've just spent 5 hours trying to get it off. Fuck my life. @Juno231 move here!! In fact, have my house!!

Anyways so there's been violation today?!
On a Friday! Shouldn't be allowed!

Also our clinic called to say DH hasn't had a SA in a while (yeah I said that) and booked him in for Thursday!
So we've got excitement for a lot of you in TWW, and @blackcurrantqueen MC clinic and SA & others doing tests all going on 🤣😂

@Dollybird89 when do you speak to the fertility guru??

Ps I'm so pleased there's vaccines all round!! 🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳🎉
