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

Let’s go go go!

@Franklydear oooo yes please on the snail pics & no rain def! Boooooo for CD1

Oops posted too soon, so a bank holiday bbq is ok! Cool & @Vil10 yep I'm all about the wild weeing when walking my friends are slightly more conservative when we are at theirs! We could always get a portable toilet of course! Wonder if we'll get more orders?? 🤣😂so CD30, I mean we are all hoping it right??? How long you gonna leave it? 🤞🏻

@Vil10 thank you hun.

@Franklydear boo for CD1 but glad you managed to get some more sleep.

@Dollybird89 aww wow!! Super jealous I want a bear. Love McFly so much.

Morning all. I've been keeping ontop of comments this time lol nothing to report here. All is good. Just a waiting game

Morning ladies, thanks for the tag I didn't even realise this one had moved into a new one...
haven't had a chance to read back the 250 odd posts lol
Hugs to anyone who needs them xx

I have no idea what is happening my end??
Not sure if I have even ovulated or not.

There's a chance I did on CD13, as that's my highest peak on cheap opk and I am CD19 now.. but this may not even be correct as I had coil removed and bled for 11 days on/off

2 days ago I was really nauseous it came and went in waves and I was a tiny bit sick twice (once in Tesco toilets after looking at ice cream 🤣) and have felt wiped out. Been windy as feck too 🤣 and yesterday I was a bit crampy.

I'm questioning if I'm imagining things or if my body is just so all over the place?! I guess it's just a wait and see game...

TMI report, is still spotting and no bright red, but after the august period of 8 days spotting I give up

@Minster2012 how did date night go?
Oh god I am so worried about the weeing outside thing haha, we're meeting dh's parents and sister next weekend for a walk in the new forest, which means no proper toilet for 6+ hours 😞 and I need to pee like every 30 mins nowadays so not looking forward to the cold squats.

@larrythelizard it's normal to feel envious, don't worry we've all been there. It's hard when you want something so badly x

@bez91 sorry about the bfn lovely x

@Franklydear ahhh frankly midnight ramblies, love it 💕

This one is a gem, lovely neighbour

Thanks @Minster2012 😊 after my emotional morning think DH is starting to finally get that it might not "just happen for us" and that secondary infertility is actually a thing. I've told him next month I'm not bothering as I'm sick of it just being me carrying the mental load which probably sounds a bit harsh but men can be so naive and dense 🤦🏼‍♀️

I'm sure there must be a bus in the world that exists with a bigger top deck than bottom right 🤔

@larrythelizard @Florence13 @Vil10 @Justanothercyster thank you! All you ladies are legends 💕

@lucyrp I've had mine through from @Dollybird89 and I've booked my first one.
@Franklydear I had forgotten your late night ramblings! 🤣
@Kirky658 Green and blue pee? That's impressive!
@Vil10 omg I'm a terrible wee holder. Maybe we can see who has done it in the most inappropriate place? 🤣 Up there for me is the middle of the m25 (snow storm/traffic jam) literally by the car door, and a a bus stop in the middle of London (was night time and I didn't really crouch to be obvious). Luckily had a dress on but I just couldn't hold it any longer. 🙈 I was drunk if that makes it better?

Anyway- most public toilets are open now? We've been on dog walks to country parks etc and had no issue?

@paintfairy love it how everybody entertains my quirks, annoyingly many disabled toilets are still blocked, yesterday the beach ones were open, but the disabled blocked, took ds in with me, a lady dared complaining, so she was told, yes he is too old to be in here, but the disabled is blocked and I am not going in the men’s, deal with it, my suggestion was she close the door, he hasn’t got X-ray vision, she’s sorry she said anything....

@2alreadywantanother whereabouts in your cycle are you?

@Lexber let's hope the nausea was down to something, did you do any OPKs after CD13? The nausea could have been to do with ovulation? Welcome to the "we don't have a clue" club 🤣😂

@Franklydear the witch is a fiend

@Justanothercyster we maybe shouldn't talk about date night, the food was lovely, he then played poker online with mates, that's fine, however, we did question if the mussels were good as we had to throw a third away during prep due to not closing then when I went to bed my insides were churning, (not unusual for me with my bowel issues but it's awful uncomfy) then at half midnight I had to run to the loo for the s**Ts then promptly also threw it up. So yeahhhhh maybe raw steak & then Fish/maybe not great mussels isn't great for someone with no bowel 🤣😂errrrr 6 hours no toilet you ARE kidding??

@bez91 it takes a while for the penny to drop 😘I totally get you on the us taking the emotional/mental load, I had that chat the other day too

Well I mean with my (lack of) bowel issues most of my embarrassing stories involve toiletting! 😩🤪I have to live without dignity in that regard but I do know the toilet pit stop routes around all the towns near me, it's a bit buggered now though as a lot of the shop ones are closed

@Dollybird89 oh yes you were in my junk folder how rude!🤣 thank you x

@franklydear god she has little to be at. Why do people feel the need to be negative all the time. Surely that shortens their life span 👀
@minster2012 going. By app I'm 7dpo temp rise was the same as opk. I said before I think I ovulate on the day I get my peak going by twinges. 1st month back doing bbt so interesting to see it confirms it. Only thing is (tmi sorry) CM, is practically nonexistent. What do I do here? Any advise. Is that progesterone? Or what do i look at.
P.s bbt was taken at 8am today (with clocks changed) so actually 7pm if they didnt. Its normally taken around 7.30 so thinking the half hr today then normal tomorrow hopefully wont have much of an effect

@Minster2012 my mum got vomiting and diarrhoea after eating mussels both times she ever tried them so I've never touched shellfish in my life out of fear I have the same shellfish allergy 😅 works quite well because they honestly look rank to me! I saw your photos on Instagram - the steak and dessert looked fab. Shame it was ruined by some bad mussels. Hopefully feeling better this morning?

Anyone else charting BBT finding the clocks chaining a real pain? 😅 I've realised I took the temperature an hour off today because of it.

Sorry about the BFN @bez91 😞 it’s true, men don’t seem to have the same mental load compared to women. Probably because they never think it could be anything to do with them...

So @Vil10 will you be testing at all? Would be Sod’s law if you get your BFP now albeit very welcome!

Wee story... last year on holiday in Yorkshire, visited DH uncle and aunt, left late after a day of trying to avoid flash floods across the Dales we had the same on the way back but in the dark. Busting for the loo but no end in sight so had to do a wildy. Pissing it down of course, squat next to the car in the pitch black. Soon as I start, DH beeps the horn “as a joke”, ended up with piss on my tights. 😂

@2020mission I am thank you! Seemed ok as soon as I woke up, I think my body just went "WTAF I can't process this get it out 😂🤣" and once that had happened it was ok 😂I eat steak blue so should be used to that 🤔I think a few of the ladies on here were asking about the BBT and clocks changing and they said it should even itself out

I mean @2alreadywantanother if you think CM is TMI then you must be horrified with me! That's good then if you think your twinges line up with ovulation and the BBT is confirming that, fingers crossed for the next few days then 🤞🏻

@Haiyaa that's so funny! My friend did something similar but not her car, squatted down behind a parked car on a walk, it was in the middle of nowhere but this car was parked in a lay-by then as she weed the car pulled away 😂🤪left her squatting for the rest of the group to see, luckily was just girls & we just balled laughing! We thought she was taking a picture 🤣

@Vil10 are we allowed to say 🤞🏻🤔

@Minster2012 yes it was the darkest I've had yet but still said low?! But looked as dark as the control line?
Tbh I don't mind if it's a BFP or a damn good AF coming as I need a decent AF to get my cycles sorted. I've seen a few people who have had the coil out and BFP weeks later 🤷🏽‍♀️ OH is convinced he has super sperm and I am in fact pregnant to the point we have placed a £10 bet 🤣
I'm giving him an extra month and he thinks I will be pregnant by end of April (so a BFP by mid May) I said I won't lol... I don't mind losing a £10 😉 and it's been fun practising just in case haha xx

@Vil10 loving the phrase "wild weeing" defo using that irl now 😁 so are you late yet? Can't remember how long your cycles usually are.

I don't have much to report. On my period and waiting on my lap date to come next week as the nurse told me two weeks! Then it's first ivf appointment on the 6th April.

Nice to see @Franklydear early morning posts back! Hope you get a nice surprise rather than AF!!
@Lexber good bet! It's win win right 😉

@notyetamumbuttrying no, got af, a light one again, slow to start again....

Just wanted to say thanks to those on the thread who commiserated with my wallowing I'm glad I found this group you are very supportive.

@Crazydoglady123 I hope you're feeling a bit better. I am so sorry about what happened with Clomid. I hate it too because it gives me migraines for weeks but your situation is truly dreadful. You poor thing.

Speaking of dog ladies I think I'm going to get a dog. DH always insisted we have a baby first but that ain't happening so I think I'll look into a dog in the next few weeks once restrictions here ease and I can leave my locality.

No sign of AF yet so just was waiting for that now.

Hello ladies! Have been a bit AWOL due to work so will catch up on this thread

I am being a bit of a Debbie Downer and would like a bit of a hand hold. AF has reared her head again, despite the fact that I followed SMEP and had my follow up with Gynae who said that everything is fine with both me and DH And this now makes it more than 2 years trying! Had a bit of a cry this afternoon when I saw the bleeding, even though I had been having cramps for a few days so it wasn’t exactly a surprise. Feeling a bit crap tbh.

Thank you for reading xxx

@WicketBasket i always feel awful cd1, is just the realisation that again nothing has happened, oh well, onwards and inwards/onwards whatever it was
DH is in bed, really tired and wiped out so I am glad we had a nice day yesterday

@Minster2012 yes portable toilet!! Why didn't we think of that sooner! I found a cheap clear and simple one in my drawer and it was bfn, but af pains have disappeared, strange!

@paintfairy Omgg same here!! OH had to pull onto the hard shoulder and I had to wee next to the car, I was in pain and crying I needed it that badly!!

@Haiyaa I found an IC in my drawer and it was bfn, but the mild af cramps have gone and the feeling that I'm about to start has gone too, god knows!

@notyetamumbuttrying they usually range from 28-30 days, with the exception of the last one because I took pregnacare and it delayed ovulation and my cycle was 35 days, so I should've started today! I can't see any reason why I'd be late!
