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!

Found this quite interesting especially with a few of you struggling with strange cycles

@bez91 nope he did BOT appreciate the dildo being shoved up his arse but I used lube I don't know what his issue was, ohh wait, it's not nice ha!! So yeah like @Dollybird89 that's put him off 🤣😂😳

I love your tights @Dollybird89 ive seen them on Insta! I also love my bright dresses and prints, you e seem the 🍆Duns dress but I have a few more I think @Florence13 is a fan too, as I put more pictures up on the blog you'll see more, and obviously my hair has gone a few crazy colours 🌈🥰nothing much else though, DS usually gets all the fun stuff

@blackcurrantqueen very early you know it!

@Babyghirl ooooooo you brought pizza, great shout for a Friday! And maybe @Crazydoglady123 & @notyetamumbuttrying or @clolo would be better to answer the fertility clinic question as ours is slightly different as we've done 3 rounds of frozen transfers recently & one round of stimulation/collection /freezing/transfer to my friend back in 2017 we kinda skip some steps & just phone our clinic on day 1 of my cycle when we want to go now & then they tell me what medication to take to then manage it going forwards. We get our consent forms online where it asks you about how long to store embryos for & if you or your partner dies what the other can do with it & you have to watch online modules each time & answer a quiz at the end of each one to show you've watched it. We only have one zoom call per cycle usually (and even now) to just check the paperwork & go through the timeline. Because we've not gone down the "GP referral route" in well over 4 years I'm not sure it would be the same?

@Franklydear Justin bieber in the morning you saucy minx, I still can't get on board with him, or even on him, I wouldn't

@DKDK123 strangers making babies?? Like you say fucking hell we can't even get ppl we bloody share our lives with to make babies. Jessuuuusss how unfair is the world??? 😣bit totally with you on the toddler mum front I regularly send messages out going "errrrrrr fucking hell why do I want another but then they do something lovely like say 'I love you'🥰'"

@lucyrp those meals sound lovely!

@Madeoftea I have already had countless creme eggs. They go so fast! And great choice of pizza!!

@Gem176 what was the last festival?? That sounds great! You couldn't be married to my fella then 🤣we see some awful stuff in our business 😳

These are the 5 pairs that came today.. i got the same colours in normal and footless 🤣🤦‍♀️ not sure what to wear now lol ( is it bad I waited to get dressed until after they arrived?)

@madeoftea
Your more than welcome to join the pizza part off the bus lol will be planty to go around I love hot hot the hotter the better 💚

@Vil10 in originally from Blackpool Hun x

Look what I've just found hiding!

And @Dollybird89 I would wait to get dressed too. Also wait for a coffee in bed 🤣😂might mean I never get up. Ahhhhhhh nice

@Franklydear 😂😂😂😭😭😭 it all adds up now...🙈 omg can you imagine me ordering that @Haiyaa 🤣🙄

@Babyghirl is it with a private clinic or NHS?

@Minster2012 it's a blindingly good wee festival up here in the highlands, highly recommend! Belladrum tartan heart. Quite family friendly although I've never taken dd, 2019 I got pissed as a fart on pints of red wine (plastic glasses were only pint sized, and one single serve looked silly in it, and it saved standing in the bar q if I just got them to put three in it 😂) then had a risotto and spewed up what can only be described as pink frog spawn 😂 bonus embarrassing story for the new bus! At 29 I should have known better!
In the last 20 mins I've decided I actually have a stronger stomach than I thought.... devil dog ate a cows after birth then spewed it up in my hall! I had to clean it up, I didn't die 💪🏻😂
I found three selection boxes in the cupboard.... would I be an awful mum for not saying a word and munching my way through them?

@Dollybird89 my dd regularly asks why I'm dressed all in black 🙈 she tells me it can't be my fav colour because it's not a colour! She, on the other hand, adores anything colourful and now wants your tights 😂 I love her cheery wardrobe! Manly man oh even sits with her and gets excited picking out cerise leggings with a rainbow stripe for her 🥰

@Babyghirl can I join the pizza party? I'm boring though as I don't like spicy 😂 ham and a load of veggies on a thin base 🤤

Just having a major catchup after a manic week.
Onto the mega important stuff 😂...
I call it a roll although now I live in Leicestershire it's a cob, and 2 miles up the road but over the border in Warwickshire it's a batch. My sandwich of choice of tuna mayo, no butter and loads of salt & vinegar crisps!
Some of your sandwich choices made me question my place on this bus though 😂😂😂

@Minster2012 😂😂😂 about you showing OH how it feels to use the back door, I literally laughed out loud at that!!!

@DKDK123 love that advice, nothing worse than the perfect mum brigade (who you know full well are lying but it still makes you feel shit)

My brain hurts after the catch up so really sorry I just don't have it in me to tag more people, but I love reading everyone's updates and comments 🥰🥰🥰

@gem176 that made my heart melt! I can't wait to see my OH have cute moments like that ... when that day ever comes!
I used to always dress in black and dreary clothes and never brought anything nice... now it makes me feel good being in bright colours.. sod what I look like lol ... I'm a total ugly betty 🤣🤣🤣

@Gem176 OMG your dog, it's heard placenta is really good fort is right?? DO NOT have a home birth and have it anywhere near else it will have the placenta 🤣😂I'm actually rolling! And I'm sure I've spewed a similar kind of frog spawn before! Who queues more times than necessary at a festival, you always get double drinks right?? And what selection boxes. No one saw any selection boxes?? Though you could use the choc for Easter hunt??

I love a BBQ pizza, though also one with Parma ham on mmmm

My Friday night food game won't be upto much, I used the tortilla wraps & some veg from my hello fresh meal that should have been pork tacos last night & made into veggie tacos so tonight I'm using the pork mince, black beans & tomato to make a pasta thing with them instead...

HOWEVER it's sat night food A game tomorrow we are on date night after rubbish week & we are cooking (after toddlerbeast in bed):
-Steak tartare on sourdough

• boullibaise (or however you spell that)
• brownies (these already frozen) & ice cream
• wine /g&t

Raw steak & egg, wine, gotta make me pregnant. Thems is the rules.

@crazydoglady123
You want my 2 dogs 😂😂😂😂 it's NHS fertility clinic just looking to c wat happens nxt as 4 miscarriages and 1 cp 3 years l8r I'm eager to start moving forward 💚

Anybody else want to jump on the hello fresh bandwagon? I've got 4 free boxes ?

@Dollybird89 is there a perk to giving away the free boxes? Just curious if hello fresh offer something to you when you give the freebies away

@Dollybird89 I would love to try one if that's okay please! With shielding before the ivf coming up I was going to look into those boxes as will minimise shopping trips the OH will have to do for us

@Dollybird89 it's so cute, don't get me wrong she can be a menace at times but moments like that make it all worth it! You'll get your baby and when you do your hormones will be all over the place and watching your oh simply holding that bubba will have you sobbing the biggest, happiest tears of your life 💗

@Minster2012 I'm sure I've heard that too but jeez no! I'm seriously considering bleaching my nostrils just to get rid of the smell 🤢
Belladrum 2021 was actually cancelled last night... I got a bit upset! I wanted to go and have "bellydrum" written on a t shirt! Oh tried to tell me I wasn't allowed to go 😂😂😂 how I laughed!
No home births happening here, I'm all signed up for the fully medicated and surgical route 😂

I'm so coming to yours for dinner when I can have wine and raw steak again 🤤 I cooked a fillet steak for 22 minutes the other night 😭 it hurt my soul!!
Selection boxes are best before 31st March.... that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! Also means I can but more Easter choc 😁

Oh and @Minster2012 toddlerbeast.... I'm crying 😂😂😂😂

@Babyghirl They're gorgeous! are they American Bulldogs? I'm not 100% sure what happens from a MC/CP point of view. Mine I met him first consult and he discussed doing more bloods and a Hycosy. The second time I saw him was for my Hycosy which was when he sent me home with Letrozole to try

@2020mission I've no idea it just came up saying I have 4 to give away.. all you pay is postage.. which ain't bad for £40 of food and can cancel after you had your box. I just kept it going lol. If there is any perks I'll let ya know!

@crazydoglady123 inbox me your email and they will email you with your box invite x

@Dollybird89 I'd love to try one too if possible! X

Just grabbing a seat up top, thanks @Minster2012. Gotta have pineapple on pizza, yum!

Nothing much happening here. FW is over according to my apps but who knows if they're right. Think we went all out this cycle so at least we can say we gave it our best shot 😋

I can totally relate to toddlerbeast. My DD is one this week 🙄 I'm counting down to my wine tonight!!

I used to dress a lot in black too but trying to buy more colourful clothes...not that I've bought much this last year coz I've nowhere to go. My DD will only wear pink & purple...unicorns and rainbows only!!!

Hope everyone is doing well!

@crazydoglady123
American bully's xl do you think they want to do that on me to check to c if there something wrong in the womb its self seeing I have had 4 miscarriages and 1 cp is it sore lol 💚

@minster2012 sounds bloody lovely 😋 all this talk is making me hungry 🤤 think we'll have pizza tonight!

@MartyMcShy I was thinking that this morning that I've not bought clothes for a long long time, I could do with a spree. Ahhhha you might have a diva in the making like me, she flat out refuses to wear trousers and will only wear dresses and not just any dress they have to be dresses that are flouncy enough to spin when she does a twirl 😂 such a little tart, she doesn't get that from me.

@lucyrp inbox me your email 😊😊

Thanks for the seat!

I got my latest blood work back today. I had day 21 progesterone done and she said it came back at 40 which means I ovulated apparently! I'm so relieved because I had no idea whether I did even actually ovulate due to PCOS so I'm thrilled.

My thyroid came back normal aswell. TSH is 1 and T4 is 16 which is perfect.

I had a really shit day at work so the doc ringing with good news is has really lifted my mood.

AF due tomorrow so we'll see if she arrives to wreck my buzz
