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!

@HollieL567 Thankyou so much! Glad you're feeling better x

@Minster2012 2? 2 full eggs and the bars that come with😋

@notyetamumbuttrying so exciting about your appointment!! Let us know how it goes x

@lucyrp your poor cat!!

@Minster2012 glad your DH's 🍆 is still in tact

Well the start of the Easter holidays for me today, going to see my grandma this morning, then a 5k run with my sister, prep my dinners for the week, then a few house jobs, going to order some new gym wear for the gyms opening next week I think, I cannot wait!! Hope everyone has a lovely day x

@notyetamumbuttrying I hope it goes well for you!

What is all this sex people speak of? We've dtd once this month. ONCE! Obviously had to abstain before hsg, did it once after, nothing since. Never had such an uneventful month. 🤣 But I'm also like- well we don't need to worry about it now anyway.

And Af is here a day early...as she does! No hsg magic for us. The 2+ year wait just gets longer and longer. Time to book the IUI now I think. I just want to hide under the duvet today and eat my body weight in chocolate 😭

@notyetamumbuttrying oooooooo yay for the appointment, fingers crossed you get it all sorted and get dates etc to go 🤞🏻🥳it would have been so much easier on holiday definitely!

@paintfairy tbh enjoy the break sometimes from the sex, do it when you want

@Vil10 def worth 2. That sounds very productive and enjoyable!🙌🏻

@Crazydoglady123 I was going to look into gousto too for the week after next, so let me know how it is!

CM report for this morning is creamy, so I moving OV to yesterday then??
As if we thought TTC wasn't hard enough 🤣😂

Cleaning atm then on with work once DS disappears to grandparents

@MartyMcShy that sounds reasonable. Totally allowed especially at Easter!! Much hugs

@MartyMcShy Ah shite. When can you start it?
@Minster2012 yes it is good to have a break sometimes. Makes it better after! We had moved away from it seeming regimented thankfully but its still nice not to have to worry at all now. The nurse will get me pregnant. 🤣🤣 (if anyone at all can).

@paintfairy haha I'm with you - haven't had any since the day after ovulation (26th March!) and if AF shows tomorrow and I'm not allowed BD before my lap on 27th of April.... Plus I'll feel too bloated/unwell after it so realistically I'm now without BD until May?? Guaranteed that OH will come asking for it on CD2 and be both oblivious to AF but also having forgotten about the moratorium pre surgery.

Funny people talking about DTD, I've been too scared but this past week I've been on it haha, all the sex hormones coming out. Sex dreams every night 😳

In other exciting news, we've just sent off our vines contracts for new house, so hopefully moving in the next couple of weeks!

@MartyMcShy oh no that's rubbish, sorry about af x

@Minster2012 ooh yay for creamy cm! That's exciting. You're definitely covered woop woop!

@Justanothercyster exciting stuff! Are you moving far at all or same kind of area?

@Juno231 27 March for me! 🤣 Your DH might appreciate a rest though! Even if he's not fully aware he's getting one. Men. 🙄
My rhr has changed! Not in an exciting manner by any means. 😆
@Justanothercyster I think I would be worried to as well if I was pregnant. Which is silly really, but literally you don't want to risk anything at all, being it took so long to achieve it.

I wasn't even on the exercise wagon to fall off 🙈

@paintfairy ooh I'll have to check backin with that thread if there is more 😁 thetable was great, could just picture it 😂 loved the banana through the letter box too! 🤣 also in a dry spell, same hsg and the SA so it's been a very uneventful month and now think i have a uti so keeping my legs crossed 😕

@

@Minster2012 I was wondering what hotlines were too! 🤣 sounds good for ov yesterday 😄

@notyetamumbuttrying oh how exciting! Good luck with the appointment, hope you make lots if progress.

@Vil10 you sound so motivated! Enjoy your break.

@MartyMcShy oh so sorry about af take a duvet day absolutely 💯

@Justanothercyster oh exciting on the house progress!

No af here yet. I bought cheapy tests this month so it's shamefully been abit of a poas fest 🙈 haven't done that in months! All bfns of coarse, and all tests used now. Must not buy more! Think I have a uti so need to get that sorted. Any recommendations for over the counter treatments?

@katao OTC treatments only alkalise the urine to stop the pain - having a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda in a glass of water does the same thing. That's my advice :)

Kind regards,

Chronic UTI sufferer

@Vil10 you prep dinners in advance?🙌🏽
@lucyrp remember you are not suppose to clean the litter tray, soz dp....
@MartyMcShy rubbish, just rubbish
@paintfairy we are both on holiday this week, staycation of course, is going well, not @Minster2012 levels but ok, only did it twice last month, no medical procedures excuse just a big hump, but this holiday comes timely as I have ewcm, not getting hopes up but good timing

@Juno231 you’re so clever

"Nurse can get me pregnant"! Love that @paintfairy well it's worked before here (ok ok so we also had another ladies' uterus involved but small matters eh?!)

@Juno231 he'll DEF want it when you don't. Always the way 🤣😂

@Justanothercyster whoop whoop for bring back on the sex band wagon, you've obviously just had a flood of sex hormones back!! So you think the creamy cm means OV has happened?? See I'm nearly 37 and my body is a mystery, this would be the first time I would have actually ovulated I think. Genuinely. Mind blown. You are moving!! That's so exciting you can have that really fun bit of choosing stuff when you can still move around (in pregnancy terms) then decorate a room for baby they won't go into for months 😁😂so exciting 🤪

@Katao is the UTI bad? I always go with the old cranberry juice. And no af yet then? You haven't been madly tracking though have you? Just POAS by the sounds of it! Sounds like @Juno231 is your lady in the know. Infections suck.

@Kirky658 did you get sorted?

How are our other newbie March pregnant ladies? @Florence13 @Haiyaa @happymrsr @Thinkingandblinking @Sausage1990

@Minster2012 yesss to creamy cm, I always get that after ov!

@Katao Thankyou! Sorry for the bfn😩 also I've always just gone for cranberry juice for uti's!

@Franklydear I do, I'm a bit of a freak for it😂 usually do Monday Tuesday Wednesdays on a Sunday afternoon, then Thursday Friday Saturday sundays on Wednesday evening! Weigh everything out equally as I put it in the Tupperware so it's all done for me and I don't need to do it on the day!

@Minster2012 I think the nurse get me pregnant needs to be the next tittle with so many of you heading that way
I knew making a new pregnancy bus, would result in this🤨

@Vil10 I favour the freak out in the morning when you are running out of time method, yours might be better...

@Minster2012 I've just messaged you a code for Gousto. You get 50% your first box and 30% off your first month. There was so many tasty recipes to choose from.

If anyone else wants the code let me know and I can message it ☺️

@Crazydoglady123 ooh I'd love a Gousto code please 🙋🏽‍♀️ we LOVE it ❤️

@Juno231 it's about 25 mins away from where we are so not far at all. Can't waiiiiiiit, it's much more secluded and a nicer area 😍

@paintfairy totally, it's an irrational fear but like you said when you e tried for so long everything feels like a risk to avoid.

@Katao ouch about the uti, that sucks! Not sure about treatments other than cranberry juice as luckily I've never had one.

@Minster2012 definitely! Or so the theory states haha. Tbh I never had creamy cm until my bfp so it wasn't so reliable as temping for me, but keep the faith!

Haha yeah, can't wait until IKEA is open next week to actually look at bits and bobs! We have most of the stuff we need tbh just need a new bed for our new room as our stuff is going in the second spare room. Baby's room will be last I think 😂

@Justanothercyster of course! Sent

@Crazydoglady123 me too please!

@Juno231 sent!

Just a little life hack I learnt recently with all my prep for shielding as much as poss while on my ivf cycle. Tescos click and collect service I always thought when you book your slots a week or two away you had to do your whole order which I was like there's no way I'll know what we'll need in two weeks time! But you just order £40 worth of shopping when you book the slot and then can change you're whole basket around (even delete stuff you've added) up until 11.45pm the night before. Absolute game changer for me...saving me so much time 🙌

Morning everyone
I'm on Annual leave this week just me and kids as hubby couldn't get it off.
We done a lovely water fairy trail yesterday. Not much else happening with me.

@Minster2012 woohoo for static and EWCM mine always went creamy after ovulation and the month I got pregnant I had a massive blob of EWCM even soaked my knickers. Have everything crossed for you lovely lady xx
