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!

Haven't caught up properly but @Juno231 comment has literally made my day 😂😂😂🙌 @Minster2012 "Nutella D" has got to be on the next title

@Minster2012 true it's probably better to be tested it's just with work and the pandemic and having just had the bloods and smear... I think if I had pain and more bleeding it would feel more worth it! Hopefully in a couple of weeks I can focus on just the fertility clinic. OH agreed to call and book the SA on Monday. I think he was waiting to see if AF came 😅 now that I'm going to gynaecology he can't complain about dropping off a single SA sample! Glad you're feeling better. I know I'd be so angry about the house too I'm not looking forward to buying now after hearing that and you really would think a family friend was a safe bet. Hopefully something better will come along!

My hawksmoor steak dinner tonight 😋

@notyetamumbuttrying ohh 🤤

@Minster2012 🤣🤣 I think its just bad luck on my end with my other conditions etc. All the other girls are glowing and sailing through 🤦‍♀️ it wasn't like this with my others either 🤷‍♀️ I just think this child doesn't like me 🤣🤣🤣 (and I'm a lot older now but we won't mention that 🤣🤣) xx

@Dollybird89 got it! Thanks.
@Juno231 Seville 2015 sounds more memorable than you are letting on? 🤣🤣🤣 I honestly don't mind but i have to be in the right mood. And yeah the what might come out on the end is a bit of a worry. But then he doesn't seem to care or even check? 🙈
@Somatronic great news on the blood tests! Always good to have something cheer you up.
@Hopeful110 I don't even know what they test prolactin for? Off to Google......

@Minster2012 ah no you see my version of decorating is too choose the paint, buy the paint, do a maximum of 5 brush strokes before huffing off and DH then has to do it. Now you see why he doesn't like it when 'I' decide to decorate!

@Juno231 I imagine 'Seville 2015' being said in the same way as 'the camping trip' on Gavin and Stacey! We tried it a couple of times years and years ago and I liked it once but not the other time. Seeing as I now get piles at the drop of a hat (another of the things that happened when pregnant which have never gone away) it's never going to happen again!

I also wonder if I'm missing a trick only getting AMH and progesterone tested @2020mission. Also off to google prolactin...!

What on earth ? Who's had prolactin tested for ?? Isn't that the hormone that makes milk when you're pregnant?🤯

@lucyrp yeah they've done my bloods for prolactin which funnily enough the nurse said is the most urgent one... and yeah Google says the image attached lol! It's really random haha! Xx

@Hopeful110 that's so odd! I only know that's what it's for as was looking up something for my friend the other day. At least there's a good reason for it and they're not just testing some random hormones !😂xx

@Hopeful110 yeahh exactly, probably checking how un balanced it am 🤣 how are you doing now? Xx

Prolactin is a standard check as part of day 3 bloods. It can be elevated due to thyroid disorders and can therefore prevent you getting pregnant - much like why breastfeeding is meant to get in the way of ttc.

@Minster2012 @Crazydoglady123 glad I made you chuckle 😅. Minster is it the croquet on my insta that gives off the posh vibe? 🤣

@paintfairy ha seville 2015 is when I got engaged so it wasn't too bad a trip. He proposed in the pavilion of Maria luisa Park (see pic)

I think "Seville 2015" was def more memorable than @Juno231 is letting on @paintfairy & @larrythelizard but I'm still with the Olden days version of "Seville 2015" being like a grand tour? (To be fair it sounds like it was, a big exploration tour 😂)

@Catherinettc your wee one is giving you a rough time, we don't talk about the age. Nope

@2020mission I'm pleased OF has agreed to book the SA, it will get better for us all!

Nutella dick fir the next bus title def @Crazydoglady123

@notyetamumbuttrying that looked lovely!!

@larrythelizard do you are my DH in our paint scenario except I do all of the ordering too!

Nothing to report here yet but gonna gather our ingredients for our raw steak date night tonight, new neighbours properly moved in yesterday yay!

Morning fellow bus passengers....all snotty this end, kids, me...DC seem to think it’s Easter now and is demanding eggs...gonna be a loooong day!

That’s just ruined Nutella....😂

Any testers over the weekend?

@Thinkingandblinking ruined Nutella 🤣😂my DS doesn't really understand Easter yet, he's 3 end of July so this year will be THE REVELATION for him as he def knows what chocolate is now 🤣how you feeling?

@Juno231 no it wasn't the croquet I hadn't looked at that, it was just your profile pic with the beautiful hat & the gorgeous flowing hair comment a while back about DHs signet ring I just picture you as a glamorous lady from a period drama with one of those long cigarette holders?! That looks absolutely stunning, what a place, so was the back entrance as a celebration?! To be fair the last time I played croquet we started as a drinking game then it ended up being THE longest game ever 3 hours later we stopped drinking & got so bored 🤣

The dry spell has ended!!! 😁🍆🎉

Tho I need to ask .... anyone else cried after Dtd? Not sure if it just raging hormones or coz I really needed the release lol or tht it was just intense lol 🤦‍♀️

@Hopeful110 I'm guessing you meant to tag me not yourself 🤣 yeah I'm okay thanks, just stuck in this weird thing of time going so slow and so fast at the same time! Xx

@Juno231 that's odd I never had it checked in mine !

@lucyrp 🤦‍♀️🤣 omg yes I ment to tag you! Hahah talk about dummy moment lol ahh yeah I get what you mean, it feels like the month is going so slow but the year is going so fast! Like how are nearly in April already? When's your due date? Xx

@Dollybird89 I mean I don't think I've ever cried😂 must've been a good seeing to!

So I've lost 4lb since Monday!! And I'm expecting af so naturally more bloated, so very happy with that!! Aim was to lose a stone by 24th April, so 11lb to go!!

Lots of investigations going on, things are moving!
My mum had issues with prolactin after having me as her pituitary gland burst or something from the pressure. Fun times! @lucyrp @Hopeful110

@Juno231 Nutella dick 💩😂😂😂😂

@Dollybird89 yay for the release! Go you!

@Vil10 oooh awesome, well done!

Dh had his vaccine yesterday so is feeling sorry for himself. He's moaning because he feels tired and achey and I'm sat here like "yup... welcome to my world" whilst trying not to vomit 🙃 men just wouldn't cope with what we have to go through bless them

Morning people, ds decided on a lay in until 9! Success
On the hormone it makes sense, if you don't get pregnant breastfeeding, if is high for another reason, same result...
I might or might not test in the weekend, feel normal again, I feel periody at times and then normal again, I keep using that word, normal....
Got another neighbours dispute on Facebook, but these are a bit up the road, one complains that the front of the house and back of the garden cameras of the next door neighbor covers her door and garden, asking on Facebook if this is legal, with pictures of the cameras attached, hasn't been next door to ask what the cameras cover, or even if they are dummy ones... waiting for the neighbor to see his property in Facebook and explode

Morning ladies, happy Saturday!

@Dollybird89 I have before, not for a while. I don't know why I'm not even an emotional person 😆 so I think we're normal 🤷‍♀️

@Vil10 result! That's almost 2kg - go you!

@Justanothercyster yea but he is a man, they always get it worse right 🙄

Might test tomorrow at 12dpo but like @Franklydear I'm on and off feeling normal, then not then normal. Today is a normal day.

Anyone got any exciting plans this weekend? We have a morning of sorting the shed and garage out - thrilling. Our new garden furniture came this morning (at 7am 😳) but it all needs assembling which isn't happening today as the cover still hasn't come today so we need to keep it somewhere dry.

@bez91 you are using that word too, what does it mean? Funny that we are both the same...
Today will get the iPads back, being in the repair shop
My sil has found a new Facebook battle, they got a waterdog puppy at 8 weeks and 3 days later died of parvovirus, there's a big investigation on her region about the sale of sick puppies, they even get crooked vets to issue health certificates for them 😲😠

@Vil10 that's amazing well done! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🥳

And @Dollybird89 not ever cried but a release is good, I think it's only something to worry about if you are crying every time!

@bez91 & @Franklydear ive got everything crossed that AF stays away & it's your time 🤞🏻feeling normal is good right?

@Justanothercyster honestly I don't think men could do half the stuff us women do 🙄🙄hope you are feeling better & he is ok, it def can wipe you out! Are you gonna get one?

@bez91 we are just off to get the ingredients for tonight from local food market, you could just about think Covid wasn't here if it weren't for the distancing & masks, it's nice, except a lot of stalls aren't allowed to be there unless food but it's a lovely market & great to "see" people in general

@Juno231 I don't think they checked my prolactin? God the tests really are minimal around here!
@Dollybird89 I've been emotional and weepy before if I'm feeling sensitive, but I've never sobbed.

I keep getting stomach cramps. Have other people found this after HSG? I kind of didn't acknowledge it might happen after, only that day. Its not horrendous (not as bad as AF) but I can feel it. No spotting or anything though.
