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!

@Dollybird89 that was me yesterday 🥴 it lasted two days 😂 snow wow! It's just grey here. Gosh I hope it's not 5 weeks long this time either! Ooh new mattress, fun 🤩 loving @Minster2012 thinking you were watching porn 😆

@Katao so so funny 🤣

So if I had a lot of ewcm now would it mean ovulation has gone, coming or fuck knows ladies???
🤪🤨🤣🤔

Think it's def ewcm not leftover jizz
Pretty sure

@Minster2012💧💧💧 if in doubt 🍆🍆🍆

Gosh not sure DH has it in him @Katao 😜🤪

I did say to him last night "that was our best 'cupping' yet" as in with the ferti-lily 🥳😆

@Minster2012 EWCM means go! Get on it 😆

I'm trying a no grapefruit approach this month along with no OPK and no scheduled DTD. My husband confirmed it was wet enough this morning so I don't think I need to drink the ass juice 🤞 with my cervix being red and the doctor said it's usually a hormone imbalance that causes that, I've came to the conclusion I might have too much estrogen in the second half of my cycle so all the grapefruit consumption could have been contributing to it? I'm probably wrong but we all jump to any conclusion when TTC if it fits 😅

@minster2012 I mentioned the fertility cup thing to my OH and he thinks his swimmers are already fired up me enough not to need a cup lol

Done my usual monthly due date calculator based on my current cycle and look at this horror 😆 who else uses these countdown to pregnancy calculators?

@2020mission I'd take it over Christmas day but no, not great.

@Minster2012 I'm sure you can tempt him 😉

@2020mission I'd be same as @Katao I'd take it over Xmas day too and often first children are late too so I wouldn't worry plus I'm really not gonna be picky!! I only ever get ewcm when I drink grapefruit juice (like this cycle) and I'm just so confused as for the static on sat! When could this mean I might ovulate?? Genuinely not sure if DH might, we've done every day since Friday including twice on sat & that includes when he's been tired & hungover so not got high hopes for quality 🤪today would be fourth day & if we had to do tomorrow I think he might be dry 😂

Hi All. I can relate to those who are feeling flat. I was in rubbish form this week, mainly because where I live (not Britain) other than a week at Christmas I've been locked down since September and haven't seen a single friend or family member in that time (except immediate family at Christmas).

And everyone else seems to be breaking the rules so I also feel a bit silly for sticking to them, but I will continue to do so. I fell out with my brother over it. He's breaking rules but insists that he isn't, and it's the denial that annoyed me. Ordinarily I'd say nothing but I was in a bad mood and felt really lonely so I mentioned it to him and he lost the plot haha.

My new thing is looking at dogs and imagining all the fun things I'll be able to do if I don't ever have children. Husband says I'm being way too negative about our chances of having kids and he's probably right.

Also diet and not drinking went out the window this Easter. Drank my head off yesterday. Probably pickled any little eggs that were brewing! In more positive news I'm tolerating Clomid quite well so far. Early days yet, only CD7 but hopeful that I'm getting used to it and won't suffer like I did in Feb and March.

Sorry for being AWOL for so long! Got in a bit of a funk about ttc and have had some bad endo times. CD7 now so on to the next cycle :)

Hope you are all doing ok

@Dollybird89 love that from OH 😂🤣and on the free boxes from hello fresh can you send your OH one 😉always worth sending one to another email address. I haven't got any other free boxes yet I guess you have to pay for another one! 🤣sounds reasonable!

@Minster2012 maybe you were gearing up to ovulate and got the static but didn't actually and will soon. If you have been doing it every day then I'm sure skipping today will be fine and try for tomorrow instead to cover all bases. I've had months where I've gotten 2 peaks on opks so presumably ovulated after the second peak.

@Minster2012 look out for creamy cm, that should mean you have ovulated and are in the tww. As I don't temp to confirm I find cm the best hint at what's going on.

@Somatronic and @Billythecat sorry to hear you are both feeling low. None of this easy!

Ahhh @Juno231 really sorry about the BFN ☹️ really rubbish with your ace chart too! Hope the bbq goes ok 💕

@Minster2012 if your DH can manage that he’s a hero 😂 my DH wouldn’t

@2020mission I do that kinda unintentionally as it tells you your due date on fertility friend 🤦🏼‍♀️ and always think what an inconvenient date when I actually don’t care when 🙈

Had a productive day here so far. Painted DDs decrepit mud kitchen (several shades of pink - she chose the colour scheme) got a workout in... I subscribed to Sweat last April as got it half price for the year then was pregnant twice and the MCs so had stopped using it. All £90 of it auto renewed last week 🤦🏼‍♀️ (I assumed because it was a year one rather than monthly it wouldn’t auto renew) Apple being Apple won’t reimburse me so I’ve been forced back into that which isn’t a bad thing 🏃🏼‍♀️

Mmmm ok will def DTD today anyway, pretty sure it's ewcm, so will look out for creamy cm then @Katao

never had anything stretch like it, and try for tomorrow just for shits & giggles & as a personal challenge from @bez91 😂🤣😄sounding massively productive there!! We are filling in some bits of mortar here that need doing, well, I'm not, I'm at the playground with DS. Another egg hunt waiting fir him at home, around ours.

@Somatronic so sorry to hear you've been in lockdown longer than us and that your brother is being a bit of a t*at. It's really frustrating, I think the easiest thing is just let others do what they want and you do what you are comfortable with. On the drinking that was me the other week, after the house fell through I needed it and am totally unapologetic for it, I really don't think it makes much difference so don't beat yourself up darling, worse things have happened at sea 😘🥰😊. It's great the clomid is doing good things so focus on that, let your body do it's thing

@Billythecat heyyyyyy you are back, I was going to send fireman Sam up a tree to look for you 🐈‍⬛glad you are ok now & into a New cycle, how's your Easter been?

@Minster2012 If in doubt shag it out! 😉 I think it can be as much as up to 48hrs after your peak that you ovulate so today could definitely tie in if you got your static on Saturday. It won't do any harm to fire a few more swimmers up there just incase, looks like DS and DH are both going on egg hunts today, albeit of differing variety!

Looks like I gotta be persuasive with DH then @DKDK123 🤔🤪

@DKDK123 oh god does it still say snow for you?? It's been lovely here today, sunny and cloudy for the rest of the week too!

@Minster2012 thanks lovely!! Did a long walk today so treat myself to another Easter egg😂 diet starts again tomorrow!

Had a play date with bestie and the kids and she made us cake!!

Sorry about the BFN @Juno231. Hope the BBQ friend wasn't too bad today

I was googling when ovulation happens in terms of ovulation pain and static smilies @Franklydear @Minster2012 and google seemed to suggest 24-48 hours after - do EWCM could be actual ovulation?

My CM was going for it on a walk earlier so I wonder if I'm getting closer to a static smiley...need to get on it tonight!

@2020mission you sound like me, diagnosing yourself with scant google information, I could so be a google dr 😂

Hey @Billythecat how was the move? Sorry to hear about the recent endo, hope it's calmed down again now s

I've had a nice but very quiet Easter, got sunburned today and then snowed on today! Two friends have announced pregnancies but i was ok with it which surprised me!

@2020mission babies are always late. It would be fine! 🤣 I don't want one in December full stop. I just know mine is going to come at the worst time ever, if it ever happens! December 2030 or something! 🤣

And some of the things people write on MN are comedy gold. You could entertain yourself for hours. I'm off to read some more.....

@billythecat hope you are doing OK lovely x
