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

@Minster2012 it was good thanks, how about you? Getting settled into the new house so been trying to sort out the garden and do some painting etc :) I feel vaguely like I have kept up by seeing your insta!

Ooh we are getting kittens! Nice news :) I think we are collecting them in a week. Little tabby and tabby and white- sisters! Will show photos once we have them, so excited!

Have wanted to come back on here for a while but also have just needed to shut my brain off from ttc while the failure hurt! On to the next attempt now and just trying to keep faith.

Hopefully having my parents to visit in May- haven’t seen them since September and then my best friend’s wedding in June so keeping my mind on nice things Smile Have been thinking of you all and wishing well!

Kirky658 · 05/04/2021 19:51

Oooo @notyetamumbuttrying that looks delicious 😍 sausage and mash for us tonight!

lucyrp · 05/04/2021 19:55

@larrythelizard thanks! Move has gone well, still a mess everywhere haha but we feel settled. Nice to have a proper house with enough space (a bit too much tbh- need some babies haha) and a garden to plant my roses in! Getting to know the area but we need to start getting to know people really. Starting the decorating which is fun Smile DH has done the painting so far while I have been digging up the garden which has killed my muscles lol. Hope all has been ok with you?

@Kirky658 hanging in there thanks! Over the last dip so trying to stay positive now! How are you doing?

Ooh I made a very yummy looking apple and berry crumble - can’t wait to eat it! After a weekend of chocolate haha, will have to start again a bit better tomorrow.

HollieL567 · 05/04/2021 20:03

Hey ladies! Sorry I've been quiet since last weds...wow that was a mammoth catch up haha.
I've been super busy these past few days! And also the tiredness kicked in this week...I thought I was meant to get more energy around now lol. And sickness was in full force. But I do feel a lot better just still sleepy!! Thankyou all for your kind words after I had my scan! It genuinely still doesn't feel real at all.

@paintfairy thankyou 💕 so the reason I mentioned the baby's skull is because before my MMC I had a baby and everything seemed fine but at the 12 week scan they noticed the baby's skull hadn't fully formed, after many further appts with a consultant in the days after, they diagnosed the baby with a severe neural tube defect called anencephaly (something I had never heard of) basically where the skull doesn't fully form & the bit of brain that did form was being ate away from being exposed to the amniotic fluid & the baby wasn't compatible with life...if I did go to full term the baby would have only lived a couple of hours after birth maximum, it was all very traumatic as I had to be induced at 15 weeks. So I was super worried about how the baby's skull was on this scan.

@Sausage1990 so glad your epu are being great also! Mine have honestly been fab too and it really does make it an easier process. Let us know how your scan goes honey 💗

@Vil10 wow your garden looks amazing..I'd never have thought about going for those colour's but it literally looks gorge!!

@Minster2012 amazing news on the static smiley...keep getting on it girl haha. We are all so rooting for you!!

Kirky658 · 05/04/2021 20:15

@lucyrp mm mm that also looks super yummy!
@billythecat glad you're over the dip hun. Nothing worse than a bad flare up so you have my sincere sympathies. Glad that the move went well too. We've been painting like mad people the last 2 days, FINALLY finished then we moved the stuff back into our room (been sleeping in our spare room to stay away from paint fumes) and knocked the gloss on the radiator so had to touch it up 🤣

Dollybird89 · 05/04/2021 20:37

@lucyrp that looks ace...

@minster2012 I got a hiit for ya... . Grease work out! It was so funny

Franklydear · 05/04/2021 20:47

Finally, completely clean of algae

@larrythelizard "my CM was going for it on a walk earlier" OMG Ive actually just lolled at that!! Come on peak!!! Yes I guess you are right about ovulation, I just said to DH we need to DTD tonight & tomorrow & he took it rather well 😂😂roll on 6 days in a row 😳I'm gonna need Chad cream & really test if it's quantity or quality theory

@Vil10 I did a small dog walk & emkfit, how many Easter eggs does that equate too??

@Franklydear what was the cake!? The tank looks so clean & pristine x

@paintfairy dec 2030 is ours. I'm calling it.

@notyetamumbuttrying that looks delicious!! As does @lucyrp im jealous! I over cooked my hotlines tonight, I'm gutted

@Billythecat wow kittens!! We MUST have pictures. We have a pet section on the bus. And we are due pupdates from @Vil10 soon surely?! What are they gonna be called??

@HollieL567
Thank you!! Though how I'm really freaked out by my ewcm afterwards so who knows 😄😁🤣🤨I'm so pleased all is well for you, really happy 😘🥰🥳🤞🏻let's hope the sickness goes too soon

@Dollybird89 ive done that one recently, loved it! Might revisit this week, adding to list! Thank you 😘🙌🏻

We've just had snow tonight. Wtf is going on!! I mean I wear suntan lotion all winter (vitiligo) but I had packed away X's coat!! What????

Franklydear · 05/04/2021 21:39

@Minster2012 she always makes chocolate cake, everyone's favourite, the tank thanks, it's really hard work but very rewarding, we might get a couple more fish and a few more shrimps, it's under populated

Franklydear · 05/04/2021 21:40

@Dollybird89 I've fallen off the exercise wagon, I need to get on it again

Dollybird89 · 05/04/2021 21:58

@franklydear I had fallen off but grease got me back on it lol need to start doing more again

notyetamumbuttrying · 05/04/2021 22:10

@Kirky658 it was really tasty ooh love sausage and mash!!
@lucyrp ooh looks delicious 😋
@Minster2012 thanks, it really was! Ah gutted about the over cooked grub! What's hotlines though? 🤔
Glad Dh is on board with all the sex 😛
@Franklydear I've fallen off the exercise wagon too! I'll take inspiration from @Dollybird89 and do that workout this week 💪🏾

paintfairy · 05/04/2021 22:16

@Dollybird89 ooohh I'll try try grease one! I only managed one last week, so need to get back on it!
@Minster2012 🤣 I'll be old and past it by then!
@HollieL567 thanks for explaining. I did think something must have happened that I wasn't aware of. I'm really sorry to hear that. I'm really pleased everything is looking OK for you! It must be reassuring.
@Billythecat welcome back! I'm glad the move went OK. Sorry to hear about the other stuff.
@Katao I finished reading the funny posts. Although they keep adding to it! But I was crying at the pub table one. Had to show DH who thought I'd lost the plot. 🤣

The food photos all look good! My first hello fresh i booked for next week. This week the earliest it could come was Thursday (because of Easter), which is pointless for us. So I thought it was best to have it next week instead!

Kirky658 · 06/04/2021 06:33

Actually super jealous of all this sex! Unfortunately I've had the rather glam thrush since Thursday last week. Chemist refused to prescribe me anything for it so I have to ring my gp this morning in the hope they will!!!

lucyrp · 06/04/2021 06:47

@Kirky658 @Dollybird89 it was called smoky bbq chicken with cheesy Mash and garlicky greens I think! OH prepped it all and cooked it as I was knackered after work. It was lovely !

I haven't been coping very well recently with my hormones and stuff at work is really getting to me so trying to stay on top of it all is a nightmare. And last night had a really terrible sleep between the cat trying to tell me something all night and baby moving 😴 I forgot to mention my cat had to go to the vet last week with a suspected UTI and that was expensive to say the least. Think its finally clearing up now but the mess she was making of her litter every 5 minutes was painful 😭🤣

Kirky658 · 06/04/2021 06:50

@lucyrp mmmmmm nice! Your poor cat though, hope she is feeling a bit better now bless her x

lucyrp · 06/04/2021 06:53

@Kirky658 she's been in the wars this last week bless her, she's an inside cat but she goes out in the garden and on the weekend we were out there most of the day and she got stung by a bee 🙈 🐝 x

bez91 · 06/04/2021 06:57

@Kirky658 ahh hope the GP gives you something to feel more glamorous, I got it quite often in pregnancy. The pessarys always seemed to do the trick for a while.

@Minster2012 hope your DHs 🍆 hasn't fallen off yet

Rare day off today with an actual day to myself. All fun things; dissertation and decorating 🙃

Minster2012 · 06/04/2021 07:17

Ahhhh hotlines @notyetamumbuttrying was meant to be Yorkshire's 🤣😂 we did Sunday dinner yesterday instead!

@paintfairy yes we'll all be old and past it I think 😬

Minster2012 · 06/04/2021 07:20

Crazydoglady123 · 06/04/2021 07:44

@notyetamumbuttrying I had that chicken and mushroom crumble last night too! I'm so proud of my organisation skills...I've booked all my Tesco click and collect deliveries booked and have ordered a Gousto box to try next week instead.

notyetamumbuttrying · 06/04/2021 08:15

@lucyrp ahh your poor cat!! 😢
@Minster2012 haha Yorkshire's make more sense 😂 love a roast any day of the week tbf! Glad the sex is still good, 5 days in a row is impressive! We did that once before but were on holiday, so much easier to accomplish 😆
@Crazydoglady123 ooh snap then! Very organised 👏🏾

Ladies it's appointment day this afternoon 😬 fundings approved so I really hope it's to sort start dates and drugs etc.
Happy fake Monday everyone 😃

Juno231 · 06/04/2021 08:23
