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

@blackcurrantqueen that's good an the acupuncture! Hopefully the goodness sticks about. I've looked into it but the nearest one (I'd trust) is about 30 mins away and it's fitting it in. Oh gosh your OH, I get nosebleeds in my sleep sometimes it's weird - always when I'm pregnant too. Coffee in bed sounds bliss, my DD wakes between 5/5:30. 5:45 if we're lucky so that's never happened 😂
I'm 8dpo today, trying not to symptom spot because they're always the same as when AF is coming, loads of excess saliva, full of cold and feel sick - how about you?

@Hopeful110 on your MMC it's hard to say because I didn't track ovulation after as I was still having positive pregnancy tests for some time.

@Sausage1990 Oh my god a toastie machine sounds heavenly. I wonder if I can get one shipped to Japan - it sounds like exactly the thing that would make my British husband so happy!

@Hopeful110 Never quite gotten avocado of toast either. I'm generally a bit suspicious of avacados and mushrooms though. I'm a really unexciting eater, it's taken me years of effort to try and expand my diet. One of my fave breakfasts though is pancakes (the fluffy kind), with butter, maple syrup and streaky bacon. With the streaky bacon all up in the maple syrup.
Crossing my fingers for you this cycle! I hope its shorter and sticky.

Relevant joke: How do you like your eggs?

Fertalized

@TTCAbroad fab news that all went well at your scan.

@Minster2012 then we should all be hoping that it falls through I mean it’s bound to if the other runners have been faffing around since December right?

@bez91 really glad to hear you think acupuncture is good to definitely might give it a go.

@larrythelizard yay for needing a larger tampon and feeling your body is doing what it needs to so you can get a sticky bean in there.

Sorry meant to tag @blackcurrantqueen in the above post and say @bez91 I’m tempted to try it but not sure how close my local one would be.

Mmmmm pastrami mustard & gherkins, now there's a sandwich @blackcurrantqueen 🙌🏻and you are feeling more sprightly that's really good! Is no one else around the same time as you? That's v weird on the nosebleed though hope DH is ok?

@TTCAbroad 🥳🙌🏻the scan was perfect that's awesome & weirdly my friend who is Chinese says similar about their health system/maternity too

@Hopeful110 I'm pleased you spoke to your OH, I def didn't ovulate after my MMC but mine was a medicated miscarriage I think yours is more a CP? You should still get AF I think they can come up to a couple of weeks later? I'm sorry lovely 😔it's rubbish but if you've had a temp drop it might be on its way

@TTCAbroad yeah im a fussy eater too, tbh for my breakfast my fav is weetabix but the protein chocolate chip one! Ahhh I'm gonna have some in a minute haha that joke... thats gonna be whizzing around for Easter especially amongst us ttc...scrap the choc eggs...we just want a fertilised one lol

@Minster2012 yeah I'm really hoping it hurries up, never thought I'd want AF to show up so much 🤭 just hope if she shows up that she's easy on me... especially if she's here when I return to work on 12th 😏 xx

Morning, @Minster2012 I feel you, nothing worst than a right DH, don't let him milk it
@Hopeful110 I am very sorry the sticks are now clear, my loss was at nearly 5 weeks, I had a little spotting and then pass some clots, my DH was a lot more supportive, kick his ass in gear
After a horrible night with little sleep I feel much better and more me, had a little argument with DH yesterday as we are waiting for some hospital appointments for ds, he asked me to chase them up, I said in not very nice terms, I'll do it when I finish with the schools, exactly how much you think I am capable of taking on?

Fab news @TTCAbroad a November baby then 😍

Glad it's seemingly working for you too @blackcurrantqueen - mine was a midwife in a previous life so is the perfect acupuncturist for me!

My MMC was a drop of bright red blood that took me running off to the EPU (via the GP) and it had stopped growing at 7W - I was about 9W but despite giving it every opportunity my body did not do what it should and I ended up having a D&C @Hopeful110. I bled for a couple of weeks and then ovulation and AF returned after that (first AF was really quite painful)

I'm sorry they're now clear - a chemical?

I don't know if it was the acupuncture or just coincidence @Hopeful110 but we'll see! Hoping for another 30 day cycle this time round.

@Hopeful110 ahhhh I'm sorry are you past the time for AF I think my mistake I get so confused with ppl testing early and things I struggle to get my head around the CP/Early MC so might be best to ignore me 🤔but I think in general pretty early AF tends to arrive. Bitch

We def all want a fertilised egg!

So @bez91 & @blackcurrantqueen in the running at the minute, plus there's @Tornado2Inc as well isn't there Cos there was a POAS on Insta?

@Franklydear well done you 🙌🏻

Morning lovelies, just got back from my blood test. The nurse confirmed what it was testing and that there wasn't a second one booked in the system so she sent a message to the doctor asking for her to confirm what was needed. Literally watched her type and send it 😂

Don't think this month will be our month either, DH is very much not himself right now and DTD isn't even on the table but I guess a cycle off won't kill us (unless it's one of my extra long cycles in which case I should stop worrying 😂)

@Franklydear glad you're feeling more yourself today!

@blackcurrantqueen ooh the accupuncture sounds promising!

@TTCAbroad glad your scan went well!

Hope everyone has a great day today ❤️

@bez91 thought we were cycle buddies !
Yeh I'm all congested too but otherwise no symptom at all! I usually have a 12day LP. Have you pissed on a stick yet? 😂
Literally as I typed about my coffee in bed she woke up 😂

@Hopeful110 I think given how early it is it would be classed as chemical - every time I have started bleeding just a couple of days later than usual and then ovulated as normal the next cycle 😘 glad you got a chance to chat with OH If AF doesn't show up then I'd give the doctors a call xx

Dog walked, baby at childminders. Trying my hand at calorie counting and I am STARVING this morning! Typical!!! 😂

@clolo I used to eat that too!! And Cos I don't like tomato ketchup I have salad cream on chips even over Mayo 🙌🏻yes to the salt n vinegar crisps 🥳

@blackcurrantqueen @bez91 are you gonna POAS?!!

I was waiting fir @Tornado2Inc new POAS shots on Insta??!!!

@Hopeful110 glad you spoke to OH, I bet you felt so much better for it!! I'd probably say yours was more of a cp, I'm really sorry, it's so rubbish😩 I think I had a chemical in January, I started bleeding a few days after a faint test and it was a relatively light period, then my feb period was so so painful and heavy x

So butty chat, I love all sorts but I just think sometimes you can't go wrong with just orange warburtons toastie bread, with lurpak, ham and ready salted walkers, proper boring but sometimes it's just amazing!!

@blackcurrantqueen typical! My LP has been weird lasting 17 days 🤷‍♀️ AF not due until 3rd April by which point I'd be 18dpo 🤦🏼‍♀️ so no & @Minster2012 I haven't POAS yet 😂 maybe next Tuesday @ 14dpo!

I'm also starving this morning, may have had a muffin already 🙈

@Vil10 a butty? Are you a North West girl?

Also @Minster2012 what do you call a cob will pinpoint where in Yorkshire you are? DH is from West Yorkshire and they call them teacakes and it winds me up. We don't live in Yorkshire so he's not allowed to say it in our house 😂

@bez91 hahaha I am!! Lancashire! Have to call it a butty!

@bez91 it's a BUTTY or a ROLL it's a bacon BUTTY but I'm not actually from Yorkshire I'm from Leicestershire, I'm in East Yorkshire here & get infuriated my DHs family say bread BUN

NOOOOOOOO and they also used bun for a cake, like a fairy cake? How can a bun be a bread roll and a cake?? 😳😤🤯

Hope you girls don't mind me jumping on the train, I have had 4 miscarriages and one cp over the last 3 years first one I was 10.5 weeks second was 6.5 weeks third I was ten weeks and 4th I was 6 weeks cp was first of them all took me a year each time to fall pregnant I seem to fall every r September until the 4th pregnancy I fell ten weeks after the 3rd miscarriage the quickest ever. I now have an app for the fertility clinic nxt Wednesday which I'm looking forward to but also dreading.

My embarrassing story was I had not long passed my driving test only passed 5 years ago and I got in to my car in work to go home my Co workers where all standing looking at me only for me to realise I was sitting in the passenger side waiting on someone to get in and drive me home 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈.

Morning ladies! I am off work for the next week and a half, got coffee in bed, and our DD actually let us sleep in! Life's good (small things... 🤣)

@Minster2012 On the almost-bfp front, I think that was pretty much as strong as it got. I still see something there, but definitely no progression. If anything, it's weaker. Insta to follow, of course 😂

AF due tomorrow, ordered tons of syringes, so no Calpol flavoured sex 🤣

@Babyghirl hello and welcome!! Don't worry we'll drive you 😂🤣love that, I always have to jump in the passenger seat with DH he hates me driving full stop he's just an awful passenger. What a horrible journey you've had, have you had any appointments with a recurrent miscarriage clinic? And what do you call a thing you order a bacon butty in???

And your sandwich of choice? I caused controversy yesterday it seems with my toastie and now I bloody want a bacon butty @bez91 @Vil10 you swines I can't stop thinking of a f ing bacon butty now 😣

@Tornado2Inc hmmmmmm bloody lines, so how do we get doctors and ppl to listen to us and say there's clearly something going on but not quite right???

I've phoned my ivf clinic to say we want to postpone a month and now waiting for them to phone me back to check it's ok so I shall be following behind @Crazydoglady123 & with the others I think?!

Why is being an adult so hard 🤯

@Minster2012 tbh, I think disappearing lines are much more common than people think. If I were a normal person and tested when normal people test, all I would get would be a bfn and that's the end of the story. Call me a masochist, but I actually prefer seeing something, rather than nothing at all. At least this way I am ruling out egg/swimmer problems. And if it happens few more times, I'll have that info if we go and see someone. Plus, I'm really developing my line eyes 😂

Sandwich choice, I'm super fussy but my fave is quite a boring bacon, or cheddar and crisps (baguette for that one). I'm a simple gal 😂

It's tough isn't it @InkyPaper - when DH gets like that I sort of want to shake him and say 'seriously, all I'm asking you to do here is have sex!' but obv I wouldn't do that...!

Sod's law @blackcurrantqueen. Thankfully DH is a morning person so he gets up with DS everyday (not that DS is a particularly early riser at the moment) - they both get a bit put out when I do it!

I need to get back on calorie counting @blackcurrantqueen but I had crisps for breakfast...maybe next week!

I learned about bottom oven muffins in recent years @Vil10 - I think they're a Lancashire thing?!

@Tornado2Inc calpol flavoured sex might be ok actually?!

I long for a proper cheese and pickle toastie @Minster2012 but can't do dairy anymore and vegan cheese just isn't up to it!

Yes to crisp sandwiches though...hmm maybe I'll have one for lunch??

@minster2012
Had an app with the fertility clinic last Jan but cause of covid I never got my blood test results and dp sa until September day after I got a positive test lost that on on holloween day fell again in Jan and lost that one in Feb so hoping they give me a plan of action nxt wed to move forward. It's a bacon buttie in Belfast with loads of hp brown sauce and no butter I hate butter lol. And my fav sandwichs I have a few r tuna and scallion egg and scallion or a blt that puts me in the mood nw 😂😂😂😂😂😂.

@larrythelizard in theory, yes. But the concept itself is almost making me gag 🤣
