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!

@Franklydear you can kill him after? He's not really got a use then anyway? 🤣

I’m so impressed with so many of you being netballers! I’m 4”11 so no chance of me being any good at it I definitely was not chosen first in school!

The meal services sound so yummy, not tried any but do really fancy it! Is it worth it?

I’ve basically just eaten chocolate today haha. I’m blaming the endo pains. I did finally get round to hiding some eggs in the garden for DH- only a few days late for Easter! pain is rather awful over the last 24hrs so hoping it finishes soon. It’s not been this bad in a good while!
So so so excited for our kittens coming home hopefully on Monday. They are going to be called Aster (tabby and white) and Iris (tabby) and they are so cute 🥰 I have wanted some for so long! Got all sorts of stuff including a cat tree with a hammock hahah. It’s very cute!

Very impressed with this netballing ladies! I was a member of a hockey club for a short while but because they were all assholes, rude and not welcoming I didn't go for very long! I could have had potential to be really good but they weren't supportive or friendly at all so I started running instead 😂

@Billythecat aww kittens!! How adorable 🥰
Sorry you're suffering with endo pain, have you had it treated before? I'm getting a lap on Tuesday!
@Minster2012 ooh yummy looking dish!!
@minthumbugs doesn't make you bad at all! That's how I feel too.
@paintfairy please use that announcement 😂

Aw I wish I had something on in July @larrythelizard but I'm in Ireland so I'll be lucky if we're allowed travel outside our county at that stage! There is literally nothing happening for the rest of the year. The boredom is unreal!

I'd love one of the boxes but don't think they'll deliver all the way over here to me. Very kind to offer them though @dollybird89. They look really yummy!

I would plant the biggest kiss on any nurse who got me pregnant @paintfairy 🤣🤣

It'll be medicated IUI @bez91- have to collect a prescription next week. We have to pay privately for all fertility treatment in Ireland so don't think the clinic take a non medical approach coz they have higher success rates with medicated. I am not looking forward to the medication but glad to hear it hurts less than the hsg. The pain there took me surprise. Child birth was less painful 😂

And no it doesn't @minthumbugs! I think we'd all love to fall pregnant accidentally rather than planning dtd with military precision!!!

Watching Thor, hmm Loki, he is only 40, counts as a young one right?

Sorry meant to tag you @paintfairy re the medicated IUI! Will yours be the same?

Also why would anyone keep their sons' foreskins as a keepsake?! Don't think they'll want them when they grow up!!

@MartyMcShy yes mine will be medicated. Injections she said? Along with scans to check what's happening. OPKs to predict ovulation, but if they need to make it happen they'll give you a trigger shot? Then you go in the next day for it to be put in. They will give me progesterone for after too. And maybe I will kiss the nurse! 🤣
@notyetamumbuttrying 🤣🤣🤣 I'll do my best!

A kiss for good luck @paintfairy 🤣 yours sounds similar to me too. I'm not sure about progesterone after though, must look back at the notes. I hate doing opks, they just stress me out!

@MartyMcShy she said to me usually they see how you go first time before giving progesterone. But because I spot and we know it stops it, I'll get it first time as there's obviously an issue. I am interested to see though actually if they did medicate me and my ovulation was stronger, would i still spot? 🤔 And I agree about OPKs!

@paintfairy we kinda said a bit like that on our announcement, we put a picture of the 4 of us (best friend, her hubby, me, DH) & the 2 nurses in the ivf room before the embryo went in on my Insta post &put "this is how we get pregnant, 6 ppl involved" 🤣😂🙌🏻you MUST use that announcement! "The nurse knocked me up 🤭😳"

@Franklydear yep he counts def can't have a stupid one & a good looking one is a must!

@minthumbugs of course you can feel that, we all do, it makes you at home here ☺️

@Billythecat the at home meals are def worth it at £3 for 3 or 4 meals as we have used the free boxes from @Juno231 then @Dollybird89 has some free for others now, so give them a go! I'm doing another set next week. They are yummy & a great change! Especially good for relieving pain, as are kittens. 🐈‍⬛🐈fab names & WE MUST HAVE PICTURES don't forget

@Kirky658 I wasn't an asshole hockey player. An "assertive one" (def aggressive) on the field but not a mean one off

That sucks so much on the paying @MartyMcShy, and no fun for the rest of the year??? Oh and the foreskin, maybe she'll be like, well you didn't get a choice on having it taken off back then so do you wanna keep it now?!!

Oh dinner looks lush @Minster2012! We've ordered a Thai restaurant kit for the weekend (apparently it's Thai new year) that looks delicious!

Ohhh kittens @Billythecat I want to see pictures! My toddler has eaten little more than chocolate today (I think his grandparents tried harder than I did to make him eat to be fair) so you're in good company!

I'm loving all the netball ladies, I've met some really good friends through it after moving places I didn't know anyone.

To be fair @MartyMcShy these things might not actually happen in July but I can hope!!

DH is out, I should be tidying up now DS has gone to bed but I can't be arsed! I'm clearly coming down with DS' cold, ideal for approaching peak fertility and mega shags...oh well, needs must!

Hi, sorry I’ve not caught up. Unfortunately bad news from me. I’ve been having bad back pains and have started bleeding this afternoon. Spoke to midwife and it is most likely (definitely) a miscarriage. I’m gutted as we had just told our parents and I booked in with the midwife literally this morning. They said they would scan me in the morning if the bleeding settles but I don’t have any hope of that. Presumably my cycles will be fucked now as well so that is great.

@Haiyaa oh no, so sorry, it hurts,😢

@Billythecat ahha yessss fellow short arse! I used to be really sporty at school, somehow all 5ft of me won school county athletics leagues in 100m hurdles 😂 sorry about your endo pains that's rubbish ☹️ you did an egg hunt for DH? You're a keeper 👍🏼😊 he should be hunting your eggs though right? 😉

@Kirky658 yes hockey is brutal and the people that play it seem to be too 😂

@MartyMcShy wow that's rubbish that nothing at all is funded 😫 hope there's no pain for you 🤞🏼

I'm really sorry @Haiyaa completely get how horrible it is. We're here 💕

Oh no @Haiyaa I'm so so sorry, sending you ALL the love darling. And it's never good timing but that takes the biscuit. You definitely need biscuit. Lots of biscuit. But maybe it's good you'll have their support? Use it. Let them help with DD if they can, take some of the mental load if possible, tell them IF you want to talk, and IF you don't. That includes asking about TTC again I guess. Let's hope it doesn't screw things. 😘

@Haiyaa 🥺 so sorry to hear that's happened it's just cruel. I hope you're as ok as you can be right now. Big hugs!

Yes @Billythecat did you actually DO the egg hunt for DH then?! Very intrigued!

Less of the hockey player bashing 🏑@bez91🤪

Downside of watching avengers, I am now very horny and after getting up at nearly 11, nowhere near time for ds to go to bed, ovulation time must definitely be here, dtd this morning already

Oh @Haiyaa I'm so sorry to hear this. It's so shit, no platitudes, just hugs x

@Haiyaa incredibly crap timing. I'm so sorry to read your news. I hope you are OK and have the support that you need. 💐

So sorry to hear that @Haiyaa. Hopefully you will have the extra support from your parents having told them. Take care of yourself x

Haven't caught up but @Haiyaa I'm sorry to hear that! Please keep faith! Someone i know yesterday is in the first trimester and started bleeding the other day and was up all night with pain in her tummy. Had a scan the next day and all is fine and just has to rest.
