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 send me your address over and I'll post it. I don't want anything for it. Do you need any Preseed too as I have a new unopened box of that too?

I had an eating disorder when DS was about a year old. I'm fine now but have a carb/bread phobia 🙄

@Franklydear awww that's good you have the plan on the school front! Hopefully the visit goes to plan too and your happy with it :) and on ttc yeah sometimes it gets abit much and a breather does the world of good 😘 xx

@Minster2012 Hahaha!! Damn! Maybe that's why it isn't working if his using the wrong door 🤣 haha! Tbh with everything that's happened it's been like 16 days since dtd and tbh my mood hasn't been great so I haven't even wanted to get down and dirty 🤣 might have to change that otherwise he'll leave me high and dry 🤣🤦‍♀️ yeah the view from the roof is chilled tbh...think we need a bbq up here instead of a picnic sandwich lol xx

@larrythelizard Hahaha!! To be fair it could be where I'm going wrong...damn! Those pictures of the female anatomy at school weren't detailed enough 🤣 they just said put 🍆 in the hole...they never said what one 🤣🤣 but yeah I think maybe surprising him with a different location is good! Might try downstairs when the dog is out in the garden 😜 haha! Xx

@Crazydoglady123 thank you so much 🥰love this bus! And surely you will need the pressed cos though you might have to abstain atm (not sure why, we are just told use condoms) you should be able to use condoms at some point so might want some nice lube for that?? Make the experience slightly more enjoyable?! I mean I'm alll about the lube as I'm drier than the Sahara so if you really don't want it but you might want it xx

And I try not to eat loads of carbs but DH would literally DIE without carbs 🤣😂

@Hopeful110 don't blame you for not wanting to DTD it's only natural, but back door ain't natural to me, DH always wants to try but my surgeries means it's a no go, I've once stuck the dildo up him & he was so shocked I was like "seeeeeee how do you like it?? That's like a knob sticking up my ass PLUS I've had multiple surgeries so get it out 😂😂😳"

@Franklydear I think that's a good age. I always think it's nice when they become like that. I get on well with my mum (as does my brother) and I think that's what I'd be missing if it didn't happen for us. I'm not sure I'd miss the 2-3 year old stage at all. 🤣
@bez91 I don't think I've had that. If I do I'll let you know! 😆 I do sometimes get so horny/turned on though that it almost hurts? Like a stong ache. Do people get that? 🤔🤣
@Crazydoglady123 if have to abstain for 3 months then I'll not be impressed at all! I actually didn't ask. But DH can only manage about 3 days, so that's going to be a problem. 🤣
@Hopeful110 the ad thing happens to me a lot! The keyboard randomly goes off my phone, so I click that instead. Really pisses me off. And I think my DH prefers the other door. 🤣 Sometimes I don't mind but yeah that's not helpful at key times of the month. I'm also fairly boring though otherwise, I can't even be bothered to be creative any more, which is bad. Because it is better if it's not the same every time. We have a handful of positions we use but really we need to be using more.

So I did POAS. BFN sadly but only 9dpo so will hold a bit of hope! @Haiyaa @bez91

@bez91 HOW do you resist the urge ?😂

@Crazydoglady123 @Minster2012 aww love this bus and all the lovely ladies on it !!

Just abandoned dog walk... 6000 steps but pissing with rain!!!!

Morning ladies,

Taking my seat been reading but not had chance to write a proper reply.

So glad all the appointments are happening and things appear to be moving forward. I’m getting close to POAS territory also but think I am also trying to be in denial so I wait until I’m late for AF and that’s if this cycle is normal.

@blackcurrantqueen sorry about the BFN but 9dpo is early.

Morning all! Thought things were quiet and then realised I'd missed the bus changeover so jumping on at this stop 😂 hope everyone is OK, loving the new title a bit of Spanish always makes my day!

@lucyrp oh deep joy, so much to consider!! Wondering if it is possible to do breastfeeding and formula as a compromise 🤔

@paintfairy yes fanny dagger updates please 🙈 I get that.... sometimes, a bit like a throbbing clitoris? 😂

Still very early @blackcurrantqueen 🤞🏼 I think I resist the urge because I just can't be doing with squinting. I'm a black and white person and after the MCs it would just send my mind into overdrive anything before 12dpo. Good job on the steps, pipping my 1300 😂

@Minster2012 hahah take it DH didn't appreciate it then? If I did that to DH he probably wouldn't speak to me ever again 😆

@Hopeful110 sorry your head isn't in a good place ☹️ get some sun on that top deck, I get what you mean about wearing things, I am lacking confidence these days. Wouldn't recommend the superglue up the foof, my friend is a matron on a ward that's basically for "everything that doesn't tick a box" they had a woman come in who previously in a paralytic state was in her words doing her false nails and fell asleep and somehow got the back of her hand glued to her foof then fell asleep 😂 she lost quite a bit of skin in both areas 😳

@Minster2012 this last week every single night we've had something with a really summery salad and some new potatoes with butter on🤤🤤 it's been sunny here all week until today and its pouring it down. Not feeling great but it's my day off so going to have a sofa day after doing a few jobs around the house.

@Kirky658 I was very naive last time and didn't look at anything else as an option but I was able to EBF until he was 1 year old when I returned to work and he went onto follow on formula. Hadn't even heard of exclusively pumping until a few months ago. Definitely possible to combo feed! A lot of people breastfeed in the day and give a bottle of formula before bed or during the night as formula often allows the baby to sleep for longer ?🤷🏼‍♀️

@bez91 😲
@Kirky658bi did that, it wasn't fun but got to five months
Es Sheridan shape of you and surpringly Justin Bieber in love with you for my morning commute, uplifting and out of the box , for me at least

@Minster2012 well after ovulating 7 follicles on the Clomid this week my ovaries are feeling pretty tender still so he can beg as much as he wants no D is going near my insides atm 🤣 Will post both today for you.

@paintfairy mines about 2 weeks in and struggling! Me personally, I'm enjoying the break 😂🙄

Also, this thread title just makes me want to order Tapas tonight...just saying 😆

@Crazydoglady123 i don't know where you get your tapas normally, but...

@Franklydear I have no idea what the phrase means in the title 😂🙈

@paintfairy the toddler years are definitely not for the faint hearted, they will bring you to the brink of insanity and back many times over! However for every day you want to rip your hair out or for every day you end up in tears there will also be an equal amount of days where you will belly laugh with them and have your heart melt when they tell you you're the best mum (even if you did loose your shit at them just 10mins prior) so it all balances out. The best advice I can give when you have a LO is make friends with down to earth honest mums (like us lot) who happily hold their hands up and tell you when they've had a shit day and their child is being a little horror. There are many others that just pretend everything is always bliss and it makes you feel like shit and that you're not coping if you only talk to them. All parents are just winging it at the end of the day!

@bez91 I jsut crossed my legs reading that superglue story 😲

Did anyone watch Strangers Making Babies on C4? It's basically like speed dating to find someone to have a baby and co parent with......if only it were that easy, we've all found partners we actually love and still having minimal luck on the baby front 🤦‍♀️

Has fun last night explaining to ds the change of the clocks, his take? time doesn't alter, fuck social constructs, but quite keen on the lighter mornings, not his words.

@Crazydoglady123 just trying to avoid the censor, small dicks sandwich
Why my autocorrect always correct dick to duck

@minster2012
That's for the invite to the new bus I'm bringing pizza on this one thou 😂😂😂😂😂 nt long nw to my app have you had a second app with the fertility clinic just looking some idea off what happens 💚

@HollieL567 oooo really, whereabouts in Lancashire??

@Juno231 glad your results were fine but I'm so it's unexplained, I can imagine that being frustrating! Sending hugs x

@Hopeful110 good news on all the tests!! Come on join us in the roof, I'm going to be up here for the next 9 months!

@blackcurrantqueen sorry for BFN, but still early!!🤞🏼

Still early days @blackcurrantqueen, keeping my fingers crossed for you!

@bez91 you have nerves of steel, I am in awe!

@Crazydoglady123 glad the worst is over, I think you should try and order a pitos piqueños from upper local tapas and see what you get 🤣🤣🤣🤣

How is it going @Hopeful110? Feeling a bit more at peace? I don’t think you are allowed to say you are not adventurous in the bedroom when the back door is open for business 😂 do you know what turns me on? DH letting me have a lie in, cleaning the house, making dinner and taking care of DD so I get five minute peace 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Now @Babyghirl, will you be having pineapple on your pizza? My favourite pizza is the traditional woodfired kind (we are hoping to build an oven in our garden) with nduja, fresh mozzarella, salami and rocket but if domino’s then it’s pepperoni passion with pineapple 🤤

@haiyaa
Deffo nt but that pizza is woodfire thou lol my dp likes pineapple on his thou 💚

Oops I almost missed the bus, had to make a run for it! I'm going to sit with @Babyghirl where the pizza is. My fave is goats cheese with caramelised onions and pesto 🤤 I'm on a takeaway ban for the next few weeks whilst I get back into the swing of things but I may or may not have a cracked open an Easter egg already 🙊

How are we all today ladies?
@franklydear loving the upbeat music this morning 😊
@minster2012 I'm with you on the back door 🍆 bad experiences with the ex.. thank God OH has never asked!

Anybody have any go to clothing they have a guilty pleasure for? Mines tights... funky tights... I got 5 pairs coming today .. had a mad splurge! I have a whole draw dedicated to them.. patterned ones bright ones .. mock stockings now got some super footless ones on the way. Kinda feel guilty at the fact I just spent £40 on some 😳🙄

All the sandwich talk is just making me hungry and that sucks because I've got a really high blood sugar this morning so just waiting on my corrections to work before I get to eat but all I want is a cheese & onion crisp sandwich with a slice or two of really shitty processed cheese 😭 fuck diabetes!

@Minster2012 on the toilet front I'm a proper weirdo, I get the worst stage fright in strange toilets! Music festivals are the absolute worst despite the fact I love them 😂 we went "posh" camping at the last festival we went to (we are getting on a bit now) and booked a caravan pitch! I had my own toilet, shower and hair straighteners... bliss!

@bez91 my fanny daggers were thanks to a breech baby stamping on my cervix 😣 don't envy you getting them all the time!!

I wrote a huge reply after reading all of the last bus and then I lost it 🤯 the above is what I can remember 🙈 anyhoo it's finally Friday!! What's everyone having for dinner? I need inspiration!

Oh and on spicing up the sex life, order some toys and leave them on your oh/dp/dhs pillow or get dressed up and lay yourself on his pillow 😜 send a photo as an invite 😂
