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!

Thanks @Haiyaa I'm kind of hoping to get AF next week to put me back into a cycle- I'm using opk cheapies at minute to try and figure out if I am/have ovulated or what's happening as completely clueless since removal on 10th - it's all so confusing!!

@Ltay2 oh my gosh how bloody cute!! Such a beautiful baby!! 💗 Love the updates!

@Florence13 also forgot to say huge congratulations my lovely 🥳🌈💕 what fabulous news!

Definitely needing a hand hold today gals... 12 week scan tomorrow and I'm absolutely terrified...had a massive cry earlier... I know there's nothing I can do and it won't help but I'm just so scared from all that's happened theres just so much to worry about and get past. I just finally want it to be our time. Tomorrow morning is gonna be a struggle. Scan is at 9.20. il keep you posted as soon as I can. I've just got to hope and pray so hard 🤞🏻🤞🏻🍀

@Somatronic were here and we get it. I know you might not be comfortable talking to them but I wouldn't be surprised if your friends do get it, I've been much more open this time than last time we were TTC and one of my friends is also going through it and struggling.

@Lexber clear blue OPKs are also different in that you need to use FMU.

@Crazydoglady123 fingers are crossed for you for your appt that you can start ASAP x

@paintfairy sounds a blissful afternoon even though I'm not a horsey person. I do live in quite a horsey place though and lots of people seem to do horses and babies so it is possible - I don't think you have to give up horses completely!

@Franklydear 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 for a positive visit tomorrow!

@Haiyaa I am lucky most of my friends have been vacccinated, his best nt friend, mum works in a care home, they normally play video games, so the park is not ideal, but they’ll cope, play date Saturday, his school bestie we don’t normally see out of school, lots of issues make it hard but the park is great for them, bestie has been vaccinated, she has incurable cancer, so really vulnerable, play date on the weekend at some point, kids really close but you wouldn’t know it seeing them together, different types of autism

@larrythelizard thanks, hoping for the best

@Crazydoglady123 like I need an excuse to buy more horses. 🤣 I know people that have done that but equally I know some kids just aren't interested. @larrythelizard I suppose I just see it as my me time. Its what I do when I need to reset. But yes loads of people do manage it and I know people that have. How I've no idea, but they do.
@Franklydear good luck with the school visit! I hope it turns out to be a good option, in case you can't appeal for the other one.

Late night rant... ordered a mattress from Dunelm and was due to be delivered tomorrow/today? Only to be texted by the couriers at 7pm that delivery Is booked for 6th!! As requested by Dunelm! Urghhh I need my new mattress I can feel the springs in this one so I can hardly sleep proper! .. had that tiny bit of spotting this morning and nothing else since.. weird... Drs said some of my bloods are back and my liver one is ever so slightly high so need a repeat test 🤷‍♀️🙄

It's only been a couple of days since I logged in but there was about 12 pages to catch up on it was like reading a novel 😂 think I'm caught up with where everyone's at now. And it gave me something to do since DS has been up since 1.30am with a bad dream and won't go back to sleep......I'm going to be a barrel of laughs at work today 😴

@Minster2012 update: womb is still inside for now. The pressure has been unreal all day but luckily still in tact 👌🏼

@HollieL567 thinking of you for your scan, really hope everything goes well

@holliel567 good luck this morning lovely ❤️

@HollieL567 with you this morning, update when you can💞

@HollieL567 good luck 🥰💓

Good luck @HollieL567, hope everything goes well with the scan ❤️

Fingers 🤞🏼@HollieL567 xxxx

My youngest daughter is autistic @Franklydear so I understand how difficult pay dates are. We seem to be slowly improving on her social skills after a few very difficult years xx

@Lexber we are very lucky, two autistic good friends and a neurotypical one, I get on well with the mums too, well, people try to sympathise but nobody else really understands, so a small circle but stable, how old is your dd? much harder for girls I think

@HollieL567 hope all goes well with your scan.

@Franklydear I hope all goes well with the school visit in case.

@Dollybird89 how annoying!! And sorry your body is also not playing the game and messing you around hun.

@DKDK123 I hope you managed some more sleep.

@holliel567 you will be fine hun. Cant wait to see the scan pics xx

@somatronic sorry your feeling down babes. We are all here for you xx

@dkdk123 ah stop, if I miss a few days I'm lost. No point trying to play catch up 🙈

As for neighbours, we have been so lucky, neighbours here and last house are great, thank god 🙏 but it's strange what u said about her just ignoring u sometimes, ok so my friend, where she lives her bestie lives across the road, it's a bit like desperate housewives if u remember that, they cut each others lawns, do a big breakfast morning thing and 1 cooks bacon 1 does sausages etc, u get the pic. Well her bestie which I know also, we worked together, times I'd see her and she would be all over me like a rash, yap the head off ya, then other times she would let on she didnt see ya 🤷‍♀️ I said it to our mutual friend and shes the same with her 🙈 we think shes bipolar or something, like goes from hot to cold in seconds. And these 2 are proper friends. Shes just use to it now. Its never been mentioned I dont think. Here who knows what going on in peoples heads.

Me, not sure wats going on, so my temp is back up today 🤷‍♀️ rhr has given up and refuses to do anything 🤣 looking back, every month including bfp month my RHR would rise a good bit then start dropping few days b4 af, the odd time it starts dropping the day of af, but most regular pattern is the 1st. I have like a very mild dull cramp/twinge pain I'm convinced is af cramps? Because af has been off give or take 2 days most months I'm expecting her fri/sun. Might ride out another day or 2 to do test if it hasnt arrived. On 10dpo today.

Morning ladies,

Really tired one yesterday so wasn't on last night, @Dollybird89 that's so frustrating!

@Crazydoglady123 glad you haven't burst!! So annoying, when is your next illicit meeting with the dildo cam? I'm on CD16 & on flashing smiles with CB for 4 days now and after a relatively high IC on CD13 I thought it was looking promising but the lines are back to 0 basically now so 🤷🏼‍♀️

@HollieL567 massive good luck this morning we are holding your hand 😘🌈

@paintfairy it wouldn't be giving it up

@Franklydear good luck with besties school visit, let's hope they impress you

@Lexber it should become clear after your next AF I'd start them after that, I think the first few cycles can be a bit off

@bez91 phew so pleased your womb is there! Do you feel better today?

Am feeling weirdly sick this morning, random urgh

Ah no @minster2012 hope ur not coming down with anything. Hope ur feeling better soon x

Good luck @HollieL567

Pleased to hear your womb is still where it should be @bez91

I don't always get strong lines when the CB OPK says im high/peak fertility @Minster2012 - I've put it down to the fact that I drink a lot of water (or try to) so my wee is much more dilute. Hope you're not coming down with anything x

@larrythelizard @2alreadywantanother thanks, here's my pics from this week, but bear in mind we don't know if I ovulate but think I might have done last month the CD13 one looked pretty good when not in the pic

@HollieL567 Good luck with the scan lovely ❤️

My daughter is nearly 11 (yr6) and masked so well for so long we had a couple of horrific years at school yr3/4 and got a diagnosis in yr 5, she's HF so copes well in many aspects but socially is years behind peers and struggles to have friendships, we have worked so much over lock down with her and slowly are getting somewhere.
I agree, people think they understand but unless you are the parent of an ASD child you can't truly. I'm lucky to have some amazing friends who love her and understand her and she is who she is to them, but I've also lost a lot of friendships over the years from ones who don't understand her challenging behaviour at times nor that she is a priority not them, but I'm ok with that. They weren't friends if they needed to be first
We are currently preparing for secondary school and thankfully we got our chosen smaller school a couple of miles away as apposed to the large local one which she would have failed in as it's too strict and regimental. She is happy and her sister is there already which will help us with the transition I think. I've asked for extra visits (I'm happy to take her) before her days there in July, and booked her into the summer camp in Aug there for a week to meet new people and hopefully get a feel for the place when it's closed and quiet. We will see xx

Thankyou all so so much. Just on the way xxxx

I think you are right @Minster2012 - I just want to get a first AF so I can actually start my first month 🤣 I feel so impatient and know the chances of being caught this month before even trying are minuscule altho I did jump on him a few times 🤣🤣 and he is convinced I must be as he has super sperm ...

IF I'm still in my 28 day cycle i'm due next Wednesday (I keep doing cheapie OPK just in case but also to get an idea of what's happening in case I get no AF next week and it just skips one so I don't miss a peak)

I feel like I read all the posts then forget half of the replies I had in my head... 🤦🏽‍♀️
I've always been lucky with neighbours. Been in this house 10 years and they're all lovely around me and close by. We have a great little community here.
