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 not ovulation pains, maybe a pre ovulation pain?! Flashy face still today but if I look back at previous months then it should be tomorrow I get a static (I seem to get 4 days of flashy face before a static).

@MartyMcShy just that there's a hen do/wedding/friend get together/family thing in July that will be a bit awkward if I'm in the early stages of pregnancy so I think it'll be Sod's law it'll happen then!!

@bez91 erm, what?! 🤮
@MartyMcShy will it be medicated IUI? If not then I think its straight forward. They scan you leading up to O and then shove it in on the right day. 🤣 She said to me it was easier than the hsg - the getting it in part.

@Vil10 fun! Hope you get on the team!
@paintfairy haha I love rocket 😍
@Katao sorry for the witchy AF! Hope you're ok
@MartyMcShy you're right 😊 good going for booking iui @paintfairy is doing it soon too!
@bez91 I need to do that when we sell the flat and buy a house! Can't wait to sit in another room that's not our bedroom when he's watching football 😂

@bez91 that schmuck story is foul

Clomid migraines began last night. I slept 12 hours and could have slept hours more only I had to get up for my stupid job (thank God for working at home so I could sneak some extra time in bed in) I'm still exhausted and feel brain damaged if that makes sense. My brain feels really slow. Gonna be a long fortnight or so ahead with these headaches. I think I'm going to have to insist on no more Clomid after this round. The migraines are too much.

@Franklydear I might have to start doing that a few times too!!

@Minster2012 I think you should!! Like you say, good socially, bet you'd have a right laugh, and I think it would kinda be like muscle memory? You'll probably be better at it than you think, it might just take a few sessions to get back into it x

@notyetamumbuttrying I'll probably be so unfit when I go back, nothing like running round at C for an hour to show you how unfit you really are😂

@MartyMcShy I would LOVE a chef 😆 I get so tired of deciding what to have for dinner every day, let alone cooking it

I just watched that 'Sort your life out' on iPlayer, I really enjoyed it and now I want to start having a sort out!!

@Minster2012 I think they recommend 1/3 🥑 as a portion... I tend to have 1/4 as I cut it in half, put the other half in a container in the fridge and have that the next day and then the half is split between my husband and my lunch. The third is probably the recommended as it's high fat but it is good fats. Maybe try half?

@MartyMcShy loving the idea of a private chef! Does @Dollybird89 have any free boxes for hello fresh left for you and @BlondePotter?? Then you can at least have easy options for a few, I maxed out the freeness by putting family of 4 for meat & veg & then it gave DH his lunch the day after too 🙌🏻was just delivery cost.

I think it's good on the IUI @MartyMcShy, positive step, I know several ppl pregnant from that & ivf first time (as well as those of us that have taken longer) where it literally just needed some medical help & why the f not eh. Pay your taxes get it back in a nurse getting you preggo right @paintfairy 🤣☺️

@Dollybird89 I think it depends on the dog. My pointer was literally crying to jump out of her crate, was like "why can't I run around I'm fine?" So we had to keep her in her crate & ignore her for days else she'd have ripped her stitches then only let her out into a room by room as she just runs so we really had to "manage it" as we also have the other dog so she wanted to play fight which also wouldn't have been good, but a whippet (that's right isn't it?) are generally not the biggest fans of huge long walks & more snuggly so I guess she will take it well & want to chill more, so long as she's not stretching too much, jumping up (def shouldn't do that even onto a bed & stairs too I'm sure they say no stairs as they have another layer of internal stitches) then should be alllll good. She prob shouldn't test out that new mattress, keep it alll to yourself 😁@clolo OMG I'm laughing at the thought of me trying to lift 30kg pure muscle pointer after op!! Nope she had to jump into footwell of car instead of crate into boot but there was no way I was trying to carry her 🤣😂

@bez91 OMG yes I genuinely thought I misheard the foreskin thing! Errrrrrr say what! But it's basically just for ppl that hoard. Chuck stuff out! Every time I see her I'm just like "how wide IS your mouth?" He must get THE BEST blow jobs 🤣😂
Talking of which what IS CLOSING RINGS???
@blackcurrantqueen @bez91

@Somatronic yes a fog, a medication fog. I know it well. It's horrible. With you there. Can you keep WFH??

@Vil10 when they can train & play properly I will. I've always used IVF as an excuse but I shouldn't.

@BlondePotter DO IT declutter!! We've just done major Decluttering but that puts us to shame. It's easier though when you think no more babies.

Maybe one day I'll lay out the clothes I've kept/bought when pregnant last year, or even bought a couple since. Maybe.
Confessions of a serial ivf-er who believes

@2020mission a 1/4??? Shit. 🤣😂🥑😳

@Minster2012 I definitely always have half one day and half another, great omega 3 :)

You just described everyone on the court last night @Vil10!! It's a good time to go back whilst everyone is out of shape and has forgotten how to play!

@BlondePotter @MartyMcShy if I won the euros (like mega mega bucks) I'd employ a chef for sure!!

@Minster2012 closing your rings is Apple Watch - red one 'active mjnutes' ie moving around, green one is 30 minutes exercise and the blue one is stand up once an hour for 12 hours

I have mega itchy boobs today, thank god I'm working from home!!

I still have 3 free boxes for anyone that wants one :) @minster2012 thanks for that.. she's a greyhound cross with something lol she's spends half the day snoozing other half being nuts.. so probably a lot of cage timeout for her..and I'll have to carry her to bed.. she won't settle otherwise

Love the lemon meme 🤣

Ahhhh @larrythelizard so nothing naughty then!!

Line eyes anyone??? No one even comments on the breaking Covid rules 🤣😂
Honestly on the pill and a good age we can't even get up the duff.

Truly not fair

So, er, is this a line? www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/4212763-So-er-is-this-a-line

@Minster2012 😂 to be fair I'm usually just adding smashed avocado on sandwiches as an extra topping... so today it was chicken, chipotle mayo, spinach, tomato and smashed avocado. You can easily go for half if it's more of the main ingredient of the lunch, like just avocado with eggs or salmon? Or buy small like @Franklydear haha

@Minster2012 @2020mission I look it up, it says 50g a portion, more to do with the extra calories, I shall weight mine next time, I buy small ones cos I only fancy them occasionally and otherwise will die in my fridge, but literally covers a toast and a half without being too generous so ,🤷

@Minster2012 I always think it's better for my sanity that I don't let myself engage with people who manage to 'accidentally' get pregnant...

Tbh I just bought cheap ones Cos I'm a cheap skate they were reduced to 21p @2020mission 🤣😂🥑I didn't really look at the size I just thought "ooooo good fats right?" And green?!

Yup accidentally pregnant ffs @larrythelizard 😩

I think we need younger men. Clearly the issue.

Just gonna watch "emma Willis delivering babies in the pandemic", really make myself feel good whilst cooking 🤣😂

@Minster2012 omg that thread I can't!! 🙈

I know right @notyetamumbuttrying your immediate reaction (like on the thread) is "congratulations" but she's like errrrr nope!

Right food going in for tonight, then to pick dog up from groomers, a variation on a rukmini iyer recipe

@Minster2012 'the nurse got me pregnant and dh wasnt even there!' Can't wait to announce that on fb.... 🤣

And omg that mn post! And she's old! Wtf is wrong with us!? And maybe all I really do need is a 26 year old man? 🤔

@paintfairy just need to find one with a bit of brains, just so I don't kill him too soon

@Minster2012 came onto this thread to see if anyone had mentioned it. Ha! Can I feel sorry for her and frustrated at the same time or does that make me bad...
