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!

I have been having a catch up after a very chatty day with everyone and I will reply properly in a bit but I can see that all the pregnancy chat is hard for some people - totally understandably, especially when you've been on the journey for a long time.

I was wondering if anyone would be up for a pregnancy thread for those of us on here who've been lucky in the last few months? We wouldn't come off this board, we'd still be here because I know we all want to continue to be part of this incredible community, support each other and keep you guys updated, and some pregnancy chat is nice - however there may be better place for ALL the pregnancy chat, which is hard when you're struggling with ttc.

Please tell me if this isn't the right move... maybe it's not... And I don't know if I'm the right person to set up a pregnancy bus given I'm so so early into it BUT I wanted to put it out there to see what you girls thought??

Anyway I'm going back to reply to people - sorry in advance if I miss anything, there's a lot to catch up on lol xx

Hope my above comment wasn't in bad taste. Ive just struggled with pregnancy chat myself in the past so just wanted to put it out there.

Sorry if it's not the right thing to have said xx

I’d just like to say the sandwidge preferences been banded round are plain wrong 🤪

Can’t believe it’s been a year since lockdown started, does make you reflective, I cried listening to a radio broadcast on it all today, don’t think we always realise how much it’s effected us, especially when ttc, infertility, ivf and miscarriage going on amongst it...we all rock for just getting through the year...

@Sausage1990 sorry post crossed yours, don’t think what you have said is bad taste, shows your thinking of other peoples feelings!

@juno231 i love my box and confirmed my second one.. OH thinks it's worthwhile cost wise as he thinks it works out cheaper than out normal shop (obv. Get brekky n lunch still)

On the af front ... it appears to have just been spotting... tho I remember having that for a few days before last time so false alarm for af damit lol

Wrote a super long message and then it deleted 😭 I'm so tired today though so apologies if I miss loads out. I did read through it all, I promise

For me, I love hearing from all the BFPs, gives me hope for the future (even if I don't know if I believe I'll ever see a BFP myself).

@Sausage1990 I'd be up for that :) would still be here as these girls are my life, but I think it would help the pain a bit if we kept the preg chat separate perhaps? Not in bad taste at all x

Wait hold on, I've been gone for a few hours after eating my little dick sandwich (conchion obs) and now it seems it's split the group on lunches 🤣😂love this!! Can I add there was cheese, ham AND chutney & little dicks in it too? @Hopeful110 just ketchup?? Really?? Now I'm gonna be very controversial, I don't like ketchup. THERE IVE SAID IT.

@Franklydear yep the dream house, MIL's close friend of 30 years, fucked us over. Pushed us to male an offer. Accepted in writing, pushed us to instruct solicitors FAST, we did as we could proceed whereas another couple who have been around since Dec couldn't. So we said ok but we aren't playing games. 3 days later. Guess what, this other couple around since Dec but no higher offer than the one we've beaten all of a sudden yep higher than our accepted offer and she's reneged. MIL has given her hell & said she's dead to her. All in less than a week. Oops. We are heartbroken. Ah well.

In other news my ivf is now up for grabs. DH & I in serious convos for good reason. My life, anyone want it??? 🤣😂

@Minster2012 omg what a bitch!! Love that your MIL stuck up for you, how could they do that to you?! What an absolute bastard move!

I think it would be a great idea to have our own little weirdo pregnancy bus (presuming my ticket is valid 🤞🏻) then we can still chat and share on here about crazy sandwich fillings, and also talk a bit more about the preggo stuff with people we already like - I’ve taken a look at the December 2021 bus and... meh. I like the banter here! (I will never be able to show my face there now 😂).

And @Minster2012 I’m with @InkyPaper, what an absolute bitch! Glad your mum gave her what for!

You don't like ketchup @Minster2012?! I'm reassessing everything I feel about you!

@Dollybird89 how annoying!!

@Sausage1990 I think it was a very sensitive thing to say and I don't mind you guys being around and talking babas, I'm different than some others in that I'm super fortunate to already have DS though and very aware of that.

Would be sad if all you preggos just sloped off though!

I think my doctor wasn't the most gentle @paintfairy to be honest! Not much of a bedside manner!! The pain lasts a few seconds and that's it. We're going privately for the fertility treatment so we have the option to go straight to IVF. Fertility treatment is done privately in Ireland-no public funding for it here though I know they are talking about introducing it.

That is beyond shit from your MIL's friend @Minster2012. I'd be raging. I hope you and DH are doing ok with the decision making.

I like hearing the preggo chat too but that might be easier for me as I have a DD already. It's not insensitive at all @Sausage1990-in fact it's very kind of you to think of that.

@thinkingandblinking glad it's not in bad taste.
@justanothercyster I agree 110% with you, you girls are my people and you definitely can't get rid of me haha I just want to be sensative to others.

Well I'll see what other people say over the next day and if people want it I can put together a thread (unless someone else wants to then feel free). 😊

@larrythelizard we'd definitely all still be here - we're not leaving. I don't know what I'd do without this amazing community. X

@Minster2012 that sounds like utter crap but glad your MIL stood up for you hun.

@Sausage1990 I think that is a really kind thing to consider doing but defo keep checking in here to!

@Thinkingandblinking it has definitely been one hell of a year and like you say add all the TTC stuff and it’s super hard. I think we should all be proud for making it this far.

Sorry dipping in whilst I try wrote a blog @larrythelizard "I'm reassessing everything I think about you!" BRILLIANT!

I like the chat too, and I'm not leaving. Def not. Long haul, and not flights ffs. Watch blog space

So I guess no one peels mushrooms then???

@Sausage1990 i like the preggo chats and I think it could be a bit more of it, but like the others I also have a child
@Minster2012 wouldn't it be a big coincidence if it burn down now, where did you say it was?
Not a sandwich but lately I've been having avocado on toast with a poach egg on top

@Minster2012 neither do you, don't wash them either, clean with a towel

Oooh I had avocado on toast with bacon for lunch @Franklydear 😋 I like your thinking, shame if there was an “accident”, DH has a huge portable blow torch and a canister of petrol for the lawnmower.... let me fetch my balaclava 😈

@Minster2012 I used to peel mushrooms but now I just brush the mud off. Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger right?!

@Franklydear they might suddenly get some shit through their door 🤣😂you clean them?? Still better than me!

Ooooo @Haiyaa @Franklydear we now have a team! 🤣😂I love avacado and eggs on toast btw so does @Vil10 I think?!

@Minster2012 i should specify I get DH to clean them, they shouldn't be near water just take the dirt off and I like the blowtorch better,

@Minster2012 I like avocados and toast but not just the 2 of those together... avocado doesn't taste of much so that's like toast and butter to me 😆 throw on some chicken or ham and chipotle mayo and then you're talking.

Speaking of toast... I'm on toast and marmite right now.

@Minster2012 ok I missed the eggs... that's acceptable haha I take it back
