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!

@Minster2012 yes I think it is a good idea to wait in this instance. Not got a problem when TTC conventionally but when you are spending a lot of money I wouldn’t want to risk the additional stress of an immune response at such a crucial time in case your body prioritises that over housing your little embryo.

@Somatronic, what can I even say to that intro 🤣🤣🤣 you will fit right in! Welcome!

@Kirky658, my lunch just for you 😂 hope you and @larrythelizard manage to get some work done!

@haiyaa omg that looks so delicious!!!
Trying to decide on sandwich or beans on toast now.... Think sandwich as its quicker!!

@Somatronic OMG that's brilliant in its awfulness!! On the same road you poor thing! 🤣😂Welcome! And keenly reading about your illnesses

@notyetamumbuttrying if my cycle is the same length as this time then around end of April /may yes were you thinking of delaying to try more because of the SA? DH is still doing his tomorrow

@Kirky658 thank you, and 10 days off! Whoop! DH is on about cooking a 3 course meal on sat to make up for a horrible week, he's not had any time off since last feb and doubtful gonna have any for a while, we NEED to be booking a weekend somewhere 🤔hmmm when might my FW be????

So after all the lovely bacon /chip butty chat I really wanted one but had leftovers from last nights hello fresh meal left & added extra kale too, disappointing when you want a crisp sandwich

My friend has got my pink grapefruit juice- will this also have magical ewcm effects??? Will it taste as much of ass??? Who knows! 🤣😂

@larrythelizard that is exactly how I was feeling with him, but you can't say anything because it's not going to help! But yeah, super frustrating.

Welcome @Babyghirl and @Somatronic!

@Sausage1990 love your pregnancy bus name, very cute 😊

Bit teary today, was fine after my blood test but then got a text going "guess what?! SIL's pregnant!" (Apparently they were told to be sensitive when telling me by other family members and that was literally the best they could come up with 🙄). Didn't think I'd take it so hard but I think it just hit wrong as we're starting all our various fertility tests. Feeling more positive now but yeah, this morning was hard

Big hugs @Minster2012 I think I'd have done the same thing in your shoes - I can't wait to be fully vaccinated

Favourite sandwich: stilton. I LOVE stilton - I was so happy when Arla started doing a lactofree version so I could eat it again 😂

@haiyaa
@kirky658
@inkypaper
Thank you for the warm welcome ladies this ttc lark is stressful remember being told at school we look at a wee boy we will get pregnant well I have realised they lied to us when we where younger lol 💚

@Minster2012 could be very similar timings then! Hope his SA goes well tomorrow! No, because I'm hoping to get a lap done soon so thought if anything was cleared away we'd have a good shot at natural but then I remembered my Amh wasn't great so thinking we should just get on with now. Not getting any younger and all that.

Need to get in on the sandwich chat at some point, just not feeling very jovial at the mo. Due on so pretty hormonal and meh 😕

@InkyPaper not a nice way to receive the news, I hope it wasn't sent with unsolicited scan pic 😣 glad you're feeling better now tho x

@Babyghirl yes! We were very much lied too! Welcome btw 🙋🏾‍♀️ I'm usually more fun, promise!

@notyetamumbuttrying
That was me last week first period after my last miscarriage in Feb, planty of chocolate and a wee glass of wine with Netflix for you. We will all get r happy ever after judt proving harder for us ladies. 💚

@InkyPaper oh love I'm sorry. Poor effort from them. That's horrible. I'm literally squeezing the ink out of you babe or maybe squeezing the Stilton outta you?!

Oh yes @Babyghirl don't go near a dick or you'll get pregnant. For some that's right, fertile bitches 🤣😂Ive been having a wee too many glasses of wine 😬😬😬😬back on the exercise tonight and less wine

@notyetamumbuttrying we can have needles in our sandwiches??!! Btw do you know when you are getting your house? And we know you are very fun 🤪we can def confirm that on your behalf to the newbies 🥰

@InkyPaper sorry you're feeling teary ☹️ that's really shitty of them if they know your situation and/or have been prewarned. I mean I'm sure you're happy for them but what a dick.

If my brother's girlfriend announced she was pregnant I think I would implode, not because of my situation.... She's a nice girl and all but what my brother is doing with her I really don't know. She's already got 2 kids under 4, one doesn't live with her, my brother basically made her go through court so she can have contact with the one she gave up at 10 weeks old.... but she's seemingly very fertile and my brother enjoys bankrolling her as she doesn't work.
(Sorry big sister rant)

@Haiyaa that looks absolutely epic 😋

Welcome @Babyghirl @Somatronic

@Somatronic that funeral story is epic 😂 you poor thing 😂

@Babyghirl school just flat out lied! 😂

@notyetamumbuttrying thanks lovely ❤️ apparently she literally poas yesterday so no scan pic yet. It's only a small handful of people who know so I suppose I should feel honoured to be one of them...

@Minster2012 thanks ❤️🤗❤️🥰 seriously poor effort on his part.

@bez91 yeah it wasn't great. And I am happy for them... Deep, deep, deep down 😂 I'm just jealous, ultimately and more than a bit sad that we're still here struggling on and she's having her second. But it is what it is, big girl pants and all that. Your brother's gf sounds like a character!

@minster2012
Bck on the oh best exercise you can get 😂😂😂😂😂😂 don't ya just hate those girls a one night stand and out pops baby nine months l8r bastards 😂😂😂😂
@inkypaper
False advertising on there behalf might just start the court proceedings ya knw 😂😂😂😂😂
@bez91
Thank you very 💚

@InkyPaper ugh that's not a nice way to tell you news like that... I take it some people know you are TTC if they were supposed to be sensitive about sharing the news? I still haven't told anyone about TTC.

Welcome to the newbies 👋 . Worked out well that @Justanothercyster started the thread with embarrassing stories as everyone new is now sharing 😆 good way to get on board!

Oh @InkyPaper that's shit. So much for sensitive eh?! Sending hugs, we all get it. I suspect there's a few friends of mine trying for their second at the moment and I'm going to find it difficult if they get there before us. Although one friend trying for her first is having a rough time of it and she deserves it before I do!

Wine already @Minster2012?! Impressive!

Also welcome newbies!

@larrythelizard I don't mean wine yet today I just meant I've been on the wine this week Cos of the shit house news! 🤣😂I'm still painting skirting boards - wine does not help with that!

Who are you women that get impressed by wine drinking at 4pm!

@InkyPaper that's so shitty of them! I hope someone told them off for it afterwards :(

@Minster2012 your skirting boards looked fab on insta! If you skip a month IVF wise you'll have a Feb baby right? Much preferable to a Jan one!

Well dentist done ladies. Thank god nothing to be done for once, just an easy check up, woohooo!

@Juno231 I was totally just thinking about how success next month would lead to a due date of the start of January 😐 but we don't have the luxury of picking a birthday. Next month might be the only one where a good egg comes out right?? Last year I did skip April for that very reason 😅 probably why I'm a cycle behind you with TTC despite starting in January 2020 too. Although I was getting upset with negatives so that was part of the reason why we skipped April too... naively thought it would only take a few tries.

@Babyghirl welcome to the madhouse !!!! So sorry you've had such a rough time, I'm sure your fertility appt will help you look at the options😘

I'm a bacon sandwich girl guys. Apologies. No fancy words here 😂
I would also LOVE one but calorie counting says no...! Saying that I went out with my friend this afternoon we had coffee, a sausage roll and halved a pain au chocolat so I am done with my calories for today... after dinner 😂

@Minster2012 frustrating but I think on this front OH was probably right..! Def for the best!

@InkyPaper oh darling I'm so sorry for the rubbish prego relatives. It's lovely but also not lovely, so I feel you 😘
PS Stilton is gross !!

@Somatronic hello and welcome to you too 🥰 can't be advice on the clomid front but looking forward to having you on the bus! Xx

@notyetamumbuttrying just a little hug in your direction 🥰 xoxo

15,000 steps done, so ready for my dinner and my bed!! Starting to feel a bit nervous about my clinic appt tomorrow, I've just filled out the paperwork.. with the questions they go through!! Very usual height weight lifestyle type questions for anyone interested. Then also family history, gynae history and medical history basically..! X

@InkyPaper if you ever see a Strathdon Blue then try it! It's like stilton but slightly less crumbly and it's saltier - so good! Haven't seen it since I moved from Scotland though but I've always got my eyes peeled for it anyway.

@2020mission haha so last year you were more okay with a xmas baby than a Jan one? If I could choose I'd have a baby between Sep-Nov and Feb-Apr but as you say... can't afford to be picky!

Bacon roll for me btw!

@Juno231 I think the due date would have fell around 1st December so wasn't that close to Christmas... but it then meant an April conception would have lead to 1st January due date... the worst 😅
Where are you at in your cycle now? I'm expecting AF soon but hoping it's not for at least 4 days so I can finish squeezing this pH gel prescription up there! I keep thinking ohh loads of CM today and then remember it's gel 😂

Welcome newbies :) let's hope you're not on our bus too long (in the nicest way possible!)

Bring on the holidays I am KNACKERED 😴

Got a daffodils plant as a present today from the florist next door

@2020mission haha okay I get you then - 1st of Jan sucks! Deliver early/late/on time and it's all crap with the due date! I'm CD12 now and waiting for OD. If I was to conceive I'd be due mid Dec and secretly hoping for a 2 week early delivery... Fingers crossed AF doesn't show for you - you'd have all of us running to the docs for your pH gel then!

Woop just got an email that my gas and electricity is going down £14/month - get in!

@Juno231 ohh I've never had a bill decrease that's a win 🙌 I vaguely remember my mum saying both my brother and me were over a week early so hoping I take after her... she ended up having me on her own birthday 😆 I'm definitely out my RHR and temperatures are so low this cycle. It would be bizarre if it happened with them so low. Looks like a weekend of AF ahead for me. Fingers crossed for you though... didn't you have that dye through your tubes recently? I'm sure it read your chances are higher after that. Or did I just make that up??
