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!

@Minster2012 Thankyou!! Yasss to static smiley!!! Jump on that 🍆 girl!!

@bez91 Thankyou!! The same happened with these, I did them last March and a couple had weathered bad so I just touched them up yesterday, look brand new again!

@Katao so sorry for bfn x

@Juno231 keeping my fingers crossed for you🤞🏼

@notyetamumbuttrying Thankyou lovely!! Need to add some more lights and some planters and hanging plants this summer! Hope you've had a lovely day also! Good news on the house, hope the new ones are what you're looking for x

@blackcurrantqueen We hadn't thought of it either, I wanted a light colour, thought black would be too dark but next door did it and it looked really good, and I love it now!

@Minster2012 I only told her that part of the story, she is a great support, but sadly a big gossip, and we live in a small town

@MartyMcShy they do usually check progesterone though? And give you support regardless, with ivf? It's all the other things that worry me. Best not thinking about it maybe!

Oh maybe it wasn't progesterone though I'd swear she had to have daily injections of it before ivf and for weeks after she got her bfp. It was a relatively simple test but it wasn't done until they had a few failed rounds of ivf. They had to send away to test for it so actually it mustn't have been progesterone, sorry. I must try find out. All the tests are a minefield. Have you decided to go ahead with the IUI @paintfairy?

@MartyMcShy it is a minefield!
I'm meant to call on CD1 to sort it. I couldn't decide if it was worth holding off a month or so, and trying naturally (hoping the hsg has done magic) or if to just get on with it ASAP? Its frustrating the hsg was done so close to ovulation this month or I would have at least had a shot this time. But it was only done 1 or 2 days before. Maybe @Juno231 is my deciding factor! If this is her month, then I'll wait a month! 🤣🤣🤣

Morning ladies! Happy Easter Sunday!

@MartyMcShy was it claxane maybe? A blood thinner? Could have been progesterone too though tbh! I don't think I've actually been tested, most ppl aren't but most ppl who have miscarriages it's the first thing you are prescribed

@Crazydoglady123 I forgot to ask how you feeling on the shots now? Has the bloating/ovaries gone down? Is it more comfortable? I hope so!

@Franklydear that also makes sense but still well done you

@Gensola how are you getting on?

DH heading off today for a drunken bike ride round service stations for his cousin's birthday (think pub crawl but on bikes) so I get to drop him off (with DS) and pick him up (after DS's bed time) great. And have a day with DS myself. I better get 🍆🍆🍆this morning in payment 🤣

Morning ladies, happy Easter. Hope we've all got some decent eggs brewing!

CD7 here, straight into a flashing bloody smiley as usual which never bodes well for me 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Minster2012 chocolate eating day then for you and DS? How do you do it 🍆 with the little one around? Outstanding 😂 I think we've had morning sex about once since DD was born 😫
MIL coming down today 😈 to sit in the garden of course so have a egg hunt outside for DD, bit frosty at the moment but hopefully the sun warms things up!

Why is going to flashing smile bad @bez91? Surely that's fertile window so it's ok? Have you noticed any difference from times when you haven't?

We don't often have sex on the morning Cos tbh we aren't big morning sex ppl (neither of us) but we are fortunate that DS is a good sleeper & like this morning we had a spoon shag in between 7-7.30 & DS awake 7.30 though he couldn't finish??? What??? The time when we need it?? You would have thought potential ovulation around a bank holiday would be the ideal but it seems getting really drunk on Friday has screwed us a bit 😩😔. He has promised tonight especially after I'm running round dropping him off etc today too.

I'm so bloated today & nipples still really sore & hard, honestly I'm not enamoured with these phases of being a woman it's pretty shit 🤣😂🤔we wait to try play hunt the egg, then this doesn't feel great then we wait to see if it's worked then we bleed when it hasn't, or spend 9 months uncomfortable if it has...where is the good bit???

Happy Easter everyone!

@Minster2012 I'm good thanks. Pain has subsided so I'm hoping it's a good sign my cyst and follicles are shrinking. I'm still a bit bloated but that is a side effect of buserelin so may be that. Injections are easy! I'm actually a weirdo and enjoy it 😆 I still get a little reaction for half hour after which my clinic said is a side effect but half hour isn't long at all to put it out of my mind.
Wait, what...does your OH not know how much were counting on this natural pregnancy for you guys?! Tie him to the bed until he 💦 then he can go out and play with his friends 🤣

@Minster2012 think I fire blank eggs when I ov cd13 or before 🙈 other 2 BFPs were much later ov.
Oh no, maybe it was the pressure as it's certainly required, maybe he'll have to have a sober bike ride but the thought of a drunken one sounds pretty epic!
You're right I'm unsure on the good bit, i I wouldn't chose to be female again

@Crazydoglady123 oh that's good then whoop!! I don't mind the injections but tbh I'm so used to injections it doesn't bother me, but I do t relish them like you do maybe it's cos you think they are doing something?!! I basically raped him last night, he wasn't interested either (honestly his mothers birthday bbq on Friday has A LOT to answer for) and I lay there with my rabbit dildo & was like "well I'm horny so if you aren't interested..." I had already put the preseed in and so I started and he couldn't help but join in.

1-0 Minster 🤣😂🙌🏻🍆

I couldn't help but say to him this morning that he wasn't helping matters. I was genuinely hurt. Probs didn't help. Oh well 🙄😬it's just cos literally every other weekend we have sex at least once a day especially when he's hungover & when it matters. Grrrrrr

@Minster2012 I love getting tattoos as love the sensation...I'm just weird 🤪
Hahaha love last nights tactics 🙌🤣 that is brill! Hmmm...can you not send him some raunchy pics later when he's in...get him in the right mood for when he returns? I wouldn't stress too much if not as you got last night in too

@Minster2012 should say later when he's out

Ooooooo what tattoos @Crazydoglady123?! And yes I should but that would be harder with just me & DS here! 🤣

Happy Easter everyone! I've already had some easter egg, yum!

I don't think it was that @Minster2012 coz she had never even gotten a hint of a bfp. I'll have to try find out. I know your pain re DH not performing when needed...so frustrating! 🤞 he'll make up for it tonight!

I understand your thinking on the IUI @paintfairy. We're the same. We've decided not to go for it next month-hoping the hsg will help and also have 1 or 2 other reasons that would complicate things. But I think we'll go for it in May. We're conscious of time ticking and how long we've been ttc already. I know IUI doesn't have high success rates but would rather try that before ivf-2 cycles are recommended so it's not a huge amount of time. I was really hopeful this month after the hsg and we dtd way more than usual but doesn't seem to have made a difference. I hate getting my hopes up every month. I wish I didn't but can't seem to help myself!

Looks like I need more easter egg to lift my mood 🤣

Oh should have said this month not next month...keep forgetting it's April!!

Happy Easter all! Hope you have a lovely chocolate filled day - and where possible it's filled with seeing as many people as you can - unfortunately we don't live close enough to any of my family and DH's family aren't about so a quiet one for us today! X

@Minster2012 I have a big one on my thigh up to my waist (about 12 hours worth), one on my bra line, one on my back, one on my forearm and one on my ankle ☺️
Ahh I forget as my DS is at an age now he's rather hang out with his friends on Xbox than interact with his mum 🙈

Morning everyone
@Minster2012 yes, it felt good, she used to be worst but when she got divorced a couple of years back had to learnt to keep some information to herself

I want to brag about dh this morning, we dtd in the morning then I fell asleep again and when I got up, he had ds ready and breakfast had happened

I haven't been on since Friday so catching up. That's really natural to be anxious @Sausage1990 and fantastic of your EPU. 7 weeks isn't far off, just take it day by day!

Wow @Vil10 that's some serious fence painting, I wanted to do ours a light blue but DH vetoed it and tbf I think he was right as it would have been horrible to do!

YES to a static smiley @Minster2012

Ah fucker BFN @Katao 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

Hmmm possible very exciting there @Juno231 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Haha I read that Orlando Bloom thing @Minster2012...what a cock!

I am cautiously optimistic that acupuncture fixed my wonky cycle in that I've hit w flashy smiley 2 days earlier than any cycle I have tracked!!!! Obv doesn't mean I'll get pregnant but feels more possible. I fear it means a lower low on a BFN but that's a few weeks away so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Serious husband points there @Franklydear 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Happy Easter everyone! 🐣💝

@Minster2012 yeah I think so. Will keep you posted on it all. Omg I saw that Orlando bloom piece too and could only read the first two sentences as couldn't bear to read anymore 😆 what a tool! Loving your come to bed get up, go you!!
@Crazydoglady123 thanks dear, how's things with you?

@Juno231 lol bless you. You need to protect yourself just in case don't you. Will be quietly thinking of you. Did it rise today too?
@Vil10 ooh that sounds lovely! Yeah I did thanks, nice to be somewhere else for a change and see ppl. Thanks 😊
@Franklydear top husbanding from him 👏🏾
@larrythelizard good news on the earlier flashing, here's hoping acupuncture hit the spot! 😎

Ooooo @Crazydoglady123 lots of tattoos, I have 3 relatively small ones but a very significant one on my wrist (well one in each wrist) that are on my blog that are very special to me & keep me going but def can't say I enjoyed having them done 🤣😳

@Franklydear I think some ppl go through things they learn which is needed! Get you with DH that's fab! Massive brownie points 🥳

@larrythelizard there's a lot of positivity around the acupuncture it sounds very good, might try it for the ivf tbh

Honestly I was shouting out loud at Orlando, what a knob 🤣🙄@notyetamumbuttrying
