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

Let’s go go go!

@Hopeful110 no ketchup sandwiches for me but I love bread with butter, sliced onion and salt lol so I won't judge!

@Hopeful110o to each their own! @Juno231at first I thought yuck and then hmmm🤔 might try that! 😂

@Hopeful110 I couldn't stop going for a wee and my boobs felt bigger and a bit sore - I pretty much convinced myself i was having implantation bleeding! I am now really hopeful that the acupuncture sort of reset my hormones and I'm back to a normal length luteal phase and there's actually a chance I could get pregnant!

I think there's more going on for you though otherwise AF would be here!

@2alreadywantanother here for support if you need it.

@Juno231 oh my bad sorry 🤦🏼‍♀️ My husband would definitely want the birthday sex.

@larrythelizard really sorry about af but glad you think the acupuncture has helped reset hormones, I’m tempted to try it if I’m not successful this cycle.

@Hopeful110 even the photo of that makes me want to throw up. 🤮 I can't abide sauce of any kind. Although ketchup is OK on a burger or hot dog. That's literally it. And I don't eat any others at all. 🤣
@Florence13 yeah my DH would want birthday sex too. He didn't get it though due to crap cycle timing. 😆

@Katao @paintfairy it's probably mostly because those struggling to conceive need breaks from here and so post less so it seems like there's more successful ladies around lately. It would be worse if no one was having any luck though! Keeps the hope.

I'm pretty sure I won't be joining the pregnancy success this month though as my temperature and RHR have dropped today at 9DPO. Wasn't expecting it this month anyway.

@Minster2012 @Juno231 I finally got around to ordering my free hellofresh meals for next week. I didn't realise how tricky it would be as so many of next weeks recipes are high sugar so not suitable for my type 1 diabetic husband 😅 looking forward to trying it though! @Dollybird89's dishes looked good.

@Hopeful110 oh no no no - not a tomato sauce sandwich, I've come across all nauseous (hopefully it's a sign 🤣)

Fantastic news @Minster2012 on the sooner date that expected! How bloody exciting!

@Hopeful110 I prefer ketchup on toast to bread. I could have that straight up I reckon 😂 hope you managed to eat it without any wastage then?!
@Katao good you can get the odd day in then. I just can't let myself think it'll work with all the things against us at the minute. Once I've had the lap and once I get my amh redone, then maybe then.
@2020mission you might be right about that! I probably post less now than I did last summer but mines probably slowed down since the male factor diagnoses and waiting for that to improve. Now that it has its now me that's got issues 🤦🏾‍♀️ 😆

@2020mission yeah I certainly post a lot less now that every cycle is the same and nothing I do/don't do makes a difference! Interesting about the high sugar! Hadn't considered that from a diabetic perspective. Seeing as it's free you could always just use the meals for lunches for yourself and freeze what you can? @Dollybird89 seems to be loving hers - not sure about @Minster2012

Just remember to cancel it! Luckily it's easy to - I can't stand companies that make it difficult. OH and I have an account each and alternate between them as when you cancel they often send through discounts to entice you back :)

@2020mission aww sorry :( I am mindful not to post too much here now as like you said it is a ttc thread. The pregnancy one I've joined is so bloody boring though so I just like to see all your updates, feel like we've all been through it together 💕

@Haiyaa I did! It was sooo good. I'm so hungry again I think the sickness has died down 🤞🏼

@Minster2012 omg that looks bloody amazing 🤤 love a small dick

@Hopeful110 nope sorry I can't 😂

@2020mission @notyetamumbuttrying @Juno231 yes I definitely dip in and out more the last few months, the shine has worn off hoping and symptom spotting 😂 possibly a bit of the green eyed monster in it too...the amount of lucky ladies with bumps stand out because that's what we want for ourselves.

@Justanothercyster it's so nice to hear how you girls are getting on though! Especially when you have been around so long. Literally just bored of ttc now 😂

@Juno231 oh that's a good idea having 2 accounts to switch between! I managed to find some that weren't high in sugar so it's all good 😆 I think it's just cause some dishes have sugar added in the sauces. I'm looking forward to a wee change in meals next week.

@Justanothercyster no need to be sorry, you didn't have it easy! Hopefully more of us will be joining you with some success soon🤞not long now until you'll be sharing the good news with friends/family... about another month?

Too many of you to tag about my sandwich....I thought @Minster2012 sandwich was worse 🤣 but i guess mine was just a step too far for your gag reflexes 🤣

@larrythelizard ahhh I really hope it works for you!! And yeah its hard not to symptom spot isn't it, my boobs never really get sore (I have implants and my nipples were moved) so my boobs don't really give much away for me, I've had constant backache though and constipation, feeling like I'm gonna be sick when I bend over today and gassy, oh and I checked my nipples this morning and they seem a little darker but not much :/ my GP surgery emailed me to say another GP is going to call me tomorrow morning :) xx

@Minster2012 there's a roll at pret a manger that just has butter, ham and cornichons and it's my favourite. @Hopeful110 sorry but there's no comparing the two sandwiches!

@2020mission there aren't any premade sauces per se but all the carbs add up I guess and anything with chopped tomatoes might have some added sugar?

@Katao ttc is the most boring thing I've ever endured! 😂 At least ivf will jazz it up a bit 😆 not to diminish it, as I know it's not going to be a picnic but you get my gist.

@Katao totally get it, I about gave up when we got the surprise. It just takes all your energy and enthusiasm away doesn't it. But it WILL happen. Promise!

@2020mission really hoping for lots of 2021 luck for everyone here, it's been such an uphill battle for a lot of us. Yes, we might tell just our parents in a couple of weeks and then wider family and friends after the 12 week scan :)

@Juno231 at least those onions should be fried, no to the kepchup sandwich for me but @Minster2012's doesn't look much better, I do like the bread and butter
What happened to the house @Minster2012?
Thanks all, I think I am going to focus on the school and wait for af, what's another cycle, eh?
All preggos, don't you dare stop posting and ruin my village bus

@Franklydear haha "i do like the bread and butter" - so do I frankly! Any updates on the silly mum friends who told their kids your DS is going to their school even though they're two different schools?

@Juno231 the mum whose kid will go to the shitty school, nothing else heard, the other mum has been giving me insights into this school, I also looked at reports and stalk the parents group in Facebook and their insta, looks really good, I have an appointment on Thursday morning to talk it through with the senco, but so far looks as good as the school I was going to appeal for, I might put the appeal in just to make sure I don't miss the deadline but all going well will just ask the council for the change of school, this mum says she only told him it was a possibility, as he is very anxious about the change, the boy said to ds, 'your mum will choose this school, she's not stupid' they did visit and were very impressed

Sorry everyone, haven't been on in a while. @2020mission hit the nail on the head for me, I needed a break. Had my hsg last week (ouch) which was all clear thankfully. But I felt really sad after it and just needed a break. Myself and DH are feeling the pressure big time. Doctor said we could try IUI next month but I just don't know whether given our ages we should go to IVF. Part of me thinks we need a break too for our mental health & marriage. My head is wrecked from it all.

Huge congrats to the bfps! It's great to see them especially when there has been sadness in the past.

Hopefully there'll be lots more bfps on this bus and the next ones too. A few of us heading towards IUI/IVF too which is nice to share the stories.

I'd love to go to Japan @ttcabroad, sounds amazing. I couldn't have stayed that long in hospital after DD though. Couldn't wait to get home and into my own bed!

@2020mission I think I just enjoy the general chit chat to be honest. There's not much ttc talk that is useful to me any more (think it's all been covered) and there's nothing ever happens with me to warrant bloody talking about. 🙄 But yeah I have times where I come and go. Sometimes I read what everyone is doing but I can't be bothered to engage. I'm feeling low about it this week as well. Don't know why- we aren't even allowed to dtd so theres no chance of being disappointed! 🤣 I think I'm fed up of general life though. I'm having a 'do i really want to bring a kid into this shitty world' moment. It'll pass......
@MartyMcShy oh no, was it awful? I've got my hsg this week. 😫 If ok, we can move to IUI hopefully next cycle. I don't think we have the option to skip that and go straight to ivf though? Which means I might have to suffer 3 IUI rounds before even getting IVF. And the thought of that exhausts me right now! 🙈 I suppose the IUI can work. But in my head I've decided it likely won't, so it's just wasting more bloody time. 🙄
@Juno231 I'm literally getting to the point where it doesn't matter if we dtd or not. Chances are the same!

Sorry, I’ll try to keep the preggo talk to a minimum, I just would like to stay and see how you all get on if that’s ok?

Erm @Hopeful110 I think your sandwich must be a craving riiiiiight? Defo need some bacon or an egg in that sandwich 😂

@Juno231 have you had the Pret sandwich with avocado, tapenade, sun dried tomatoes and pine nuts? It is to die for!

@TTCAbroad Japanese maternity care seems EPIC. I watched a YouTube video when I was due with my first of a couple in Japan and it all looked pretty swanky, I’m jelly!

I’m ok thanks @Crazydoglady123, pretty 🤢 this afternoon but it has passed... for now.

@paintfairy I feel like that too! I think it's the 1 year lockdown anniversary getting to us all and still sodding ttc for those that have been at it for a while!

@notyetamumbuttrying yeah I think that's what it is. The year locked in, the announcing we can't leave the country from Monday, and the ttc for forever. Its like groundhog day!
@Haiyaa The pregnancy chat doesn't bother me from the regular people. It's nice to see how things go (in case i ever do get there) and learn from it. I think now its kind of like a group of friends on here and people just talk about whatever is obviously happening, like in real life.
