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!

@2alreadywantanother noted thank you! Will make sure I stop around when I think I might ovulate

@Kirky658 yay though when they say it will be expectable it's never a good thing! 🤣

@amy2503 yeah I meant was it a new neighbour (where you've moved to)? Or am old neighbour from where you moved from? I'm too lazy to elaborate sometimes. 🤣
@lucyrp sounds horrendous! Why can't people listen?

@minster2012

@Minster2012 yes a few doors down. All because she took in a parcel I wasn't there for 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

@paintfairy annoying ... wlso annoyed as it seemed both supervisors and my manager had discussed this between themselves but forgot to involve me who it's actually about. Not like I haven't been able to do my job properly for at least 6 months now so I'd like to do it for a few weeks before I go on maternity!

@paintfairy sorry me being dim. Yes new xxxxx

Does anyone know.. I've just ordered my free hello fresh box can I stop the next delivery now or will it stop the free one ?

@2020mission sorry to hear your having such a rubbish day with the announcement to.

@Somatronic sorry to hear about af.

@bez91 sorry to hear af is turning up.

@Katao keeping my fingers crossed for you if your well into the TWW.

@Minster2012 noted your fertility cup situation had a little giggle because it just reminds me of a very bad experience I had with a period cup one time.

@lucyrp I just marked the next couple of weeks as 'skip' with hellofresh and then will cancel after my first delivery on Wednesday... unless I love it enough to pay for more haha. You'd definitely be safe to do the same and mark the next week or so as skipped to make sure you're not charged and then you can cancel once your delivery arrives. Maybe you can cancel straight away though. @Juno231 will know!

Thanks @Florence13. I've decided not to use any ovulation kits or anything this month. Probably skip all the grapefruit juice etc too for a bit of a sanity break but we'll still have unprotected sex. It's obvious all
these things I've been trying are doing nothing! I would love if life was normal and I could just put it out of my mind and go on
a holiday or just a couple of days out anywhere. I think being stuck at home all the time is not helping.

@lucyrp I am counting the days down to my box 😂 I hate thinking up meal ideas. I need to finish my first Tesco click and collect order and just can't think of meals for this week 🤦🏽‍♀️😭 So grateful @Dollybird89 for my box 🙏

@2alreadywantanother so what about if you don't know your OV date (or if you even ovulate?) The OPKs indicated around 20 last month but I got a "high fertility" earlier this month on day 13 but the ICs went high then low again 😩fuck boy

Ok thanks @lucyrp @2020mission @2alreadywantanother evening primrose on its way!

I think I'll be on shorts tomorrow @Minster2012, just in the garden though, nothing too extreme!

@Florence13 I don't think I'm very good with the cup, I told DH we need more practice!!

@2020mission maybe a break from it will do you good

@lucyrp I cancelled mine straight after the box came, but it was good! Doing computer work should be ok, if it gets hot weather least you can put a fan on the desk?

@minster2012 I'm not sure but it can cause the egg not to implant

@Minster2012 I never used to know if ovulated until a few days after so used to stop then but not sure what you would do if you don't know the date at all. Good question

@2020mission I understand I got to that point to and like you say it’s so hard with not being able to distract with other things because of the current situation.

@Minster2012 yeah it definitely took me a lot of practice to start getting it right, whereas I’ve got friends who just thought it was brilliant from the get go. Guess they must have the natural touch at doing it.

@lucyrp / @2alreadywantanother maybe I will stop around now then, thank you

@Florence13 I am basically having to shove my whole hand up there 😬😳it doesn't seem to go straight at all, and I'm not sure if it needs to be straight or try to "find the cervix" no idea but there's no way I could do it unseen from DH 😂🤣and it ain't sexy 🤪

@Florence13 the funny story with a period cup doesn't sound like it can have been that funny at all, at the time? 🤣
@amy2503 I was hoping you weren't falling out with new neighbours! 🙈 Mine are arseholes though. People are just awful.
@lucyrp I wondered the same about hello fresh. So I've done nothing for now. Its not something we can afford every week, but if it's OK I might do odd ones. We really struggle for ideas and have got stuck in a rut. Issue is- I'm quite picky so it'll hinge on whether there's things I can eat that week.

@2alreadywantanother I take 2000mg/day of the below. Others only take 1000mg but I read 2 once and stuck with it.

www.amazon.co.uk/Natures-Aid-Primrose-Capsules-Provides/dp/B009M3O0ZM/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=evening+primrose+oil+1000mg&sprefix=Evening+prim&tag=mumsnetforu03-21&qid=1617053249&sr=8-3

@paintfairy @lucyrp you can cancel straight away - it'll specify when the deactivation is valid from.

@Juno231 I read between 1500 and 3000 a day

Ffs. I'm bleeding and it's bright red. Wouldn't call it full flow but its not exactly just a spot either? The issue is- i have my lp bleeding anyway. Whilst it's not usually this bad at this point generally - it isn't unheard of either. So how am I meant to know if its my bleeding or hsg bleeding? Answers on a postcard......

@paintfairy better be safe than sorry I'd say - probs best to call 111? Btw are you no longer taking progesterone during the LP?

@juno231 completely unrelated but my mum made me take EPO as a teenager bc my mood swings were horrendous - I remember my bestie called them my happy pills Haa!
