Pitos pequeños en sandwiches & STILL hunting for the damn eggs - TTC Bus 37

[Minster2012]

Bing Bing the BFP bus is back!

Last bus we got some great results and now it’s a REAL Easter 🐣hunt so let’s make like 🐰s and jump on the 🍆

Oh but we’ve packed up the 🥪🌭🌮Cos we can do that soon! A picnic, and in our sandwiches we’ve got some weird things...little 🍆conchions, pickles, crisps, KETCHUP?? Say what?? Whatever you want in your bread bring it to the bus!

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 🐣🌈.

Hop on the bus, give us your best embarrassing story and grab a ticket, we are TTC in very weird ways and usually talking about most other things 🍞🥨🥞🍔

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

Oh I've just put my update on the last bus! But fingers crossed IUI next cycle for me!

Marking my seat up on the roof of the bus 😊 thanks for yet another awesome bus @minster2012

@Justanothercyster @Minster2012 yes, I naively thought every women got them 😆. I call them fanny daggers. I don't get them often although I had them really bad when I was pregnant with DD, usually in middle of the night yelping about in discomfort 🙈

The room for your poor DH sounds grim @Minster2012 🤣

@Dollybird89 fresh foof...hmm maybe that's what we all need 🤔

@paintfairy I just read your update! I've done a similar thing pressing a door switch in M&S the other week where the toilets used to be (but they were next door and closed) and I actually opened the door to the back bit and of course Cos I needed a wee pretty bad I just kept walking! But again is it good all things are good (except not being able to conceive?!)

Thanks for the new bus! Just taking my seat 😊

Loving the title, sitting on the roof, for now, also very quietly cd 23 ( cycle expected 25)🤫

Taking my seat at the back 😄

@paintfairy glad your appointment went well, all sounds positive 😊

@Minster2012 🤣🤣🤣 omg. So where did you end up?
@InkyPaper thank you 😊

@Franklydear snap! CD23 here too. Had spotting so just a waiting game for AF now... 25-26 day cycles usually so likely this weekend. I'm sitting on the roof too 😆 is anyone not??

@Minster2012 thanks for keeping the bus going!

Got my ticket and a back seat today!

Sounds a positive appt @paintfairy and IUI soon 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

Hopping on! Read your update @paintfairy, all sounding very positive! Looking forward to seeing some assisted BFP’s over the next few months.

How are the ovaries @crazydoglady123? Are you out of the danger zone yet?

Hopping on (like an EASTER BUNNY!)
Thank you beautiful bus driver @Minster2012 😘

@paintfairy that sounds like a brilliant clinic appt! Thorough and informative! Do you want to go for the IUI next cycle if you can?

@larrythelizard yes I will absolutely take the progesterone for no reason other than I feel like it'll give me something else to obsess over.

I am 8dpo today and I did not POAS. yay for me! 😂

@2020mission tweensies, so are we testing or waiting on af? I'm not very hopeful this cycle, hardly DTD never mind on time and stress out of my head won't help, dies anger delay af? or even ovulation? where am I? Of course didn't track anything so I am in fuck knows territory

Yo yo yiggidy yo!

Embarrassing story #2:
I went to a weekly counselling course during uni and on our first session I went to the loo before the day began. Went back out to join the group in the room only for one of the ladies to yank my skirt out my tights as they'd gotten tucked in without me realising after the loo 🙈 not one I'll ever forget and I certainly made a first impression that day!

@paintfairy just casually rushed into the back where all the "back shelves" are I looked up when I went to turn right into the ladies & was like OMG oops.

The biggest problem was I then had to quickly think "oh shit where's the nearest toilet?"
Bloody Covid got A LOT to answer for when ALL my toilet haunts are closed. Someone I know has complained because all our disabled ones are closed too, in places, though we are lucky in our town we have public ones still do I rushed there 🤣😂

@Franklydear so you & @2020mission are the same, got alllllllll crossed for you both 🤞🏻

@bez91 I think it's just a pregnant lady thing isn't it ive not had it I'm sure, but I've seen it talked about a lot, yelping is pretty extreme! Yes DH said the room was literally empty (last time years ago there were mags urgh but his phone worked) & there was a toilet cubicle & sink & it said you had to wee & wash your hands before doing it so he did & the toilet kept flushing loudly for like 10 mins so he said it was just really off putting, then he was conscious of having been in there for a while which made it worse🤣😳😂😬so the whole thing wasn't great. He said "I got it done, eventually, but it probs wasn't my finest work!" Ok love, thanks for the dedication 🙌🏻

On the flip side we've then just had sex, so totally not enough regeneration time for swimmers but meh, and however much I try and angle my bum up (legs on his shoulders too) I swear I cannot avoid the lake spermo. There's prob his best work on our sheets that's why I don't get preggo! There must be an equation for
big Lake spermo>chance of pregnancy

So definitely :
Minster+DH = Huge unavoidable lake spermo>chance of pregnancy

Woo marking my place on the new bus!!

Thanks for the bus @Minster2012 looks like everyone is looking for the roofracks/backseats 😂 busy day. @Juno231 sorry your results weren't any more enlightening but at least things are moving in the right direction. @blackcurrantqueensounds like you also had a productive appointment and are getting good support which is great. @paintfairy I meant to take a painkiller before mine and totally forgot! Sounds like it would have been a good idea but at least it's a quick procedure. I also had 2 women but ya i got the awkward wash down like Juno 🙈 seems like your appointment was very informative! I have to wait to be called back to discuss results/next steps.

Sorry I caught up in bits and I've forgotten half of what I read, xan only think of the appointment updates but hope everyone is ok.

@Minster2012 I get them occasionally when not pregnant, my foof is obviously in the minority 👍🏼 it's done now so your DH can chill 😎, they do have it easy in the grand scheme of things, especially in your case. Are you trying the yoga slurp though?

Your last sandwich made me retch and I usually have a tough stomach 😂

@Justanothercyster I bet you always make a good impression!

That's like my entrance to the village here where I was desperate for the loo (errrr not a wee, don't forget I have noisy medical issues) and our conversion didn't have a loo then, our outside builders toilet wasn't on site (ironic the fact that was due to be hired from OUR company) so I ran across the road to the pub, ran into the toilets, completely missing the fact the pub was closed for THEIR toilets to be refurbished & I did my business, went to wash my hands & only when faced with a builder in hi-viz stood next to a set of hand basins not attached to the walls in the ladies did I realise my mistake. I hastily acted like I was a Walker in the area & hid & hopefully the fact it was a builder means 4 years on the owner/manager who lives in the village don't know it was me (who lives opposite) bursting in for a 💩4 years ago 🥴😬🤫

@bez91 I'm trying the yoga slurp def! But also trying to concentrate on cumming?! I mean I gotta have fun right!

You didn't like the 🍆🥪?!

Taking my seat! Finding everything a bit overwhelming this cycle so have been quiet but am very much still watching and listening (in a non-creepy way)!

Marking my place. Thanks @Minster2012 for keeping the bus going xx

Ha i so would in your shoes @blackcurrantqueen! Well done for not POAS too 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

My idle wondering this evening as AF comes to an end is what is the general consensus on timing of sex and ovulation?

I get crampy and bloating and assume I ovulate that day (it's usually really early morning as it often wakes me) - is that right?

And then is it considered best to DTD on ovulation day? Or the day before and the day after? DH does not have consecutive nights shagging in him anymore (to think it used to be multiple times a night 🤣 - I think the pressure gets to him) and therefore I want to try and get it as right as possible...

Any ideas wise ones?
