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!

Massive congratulations @Florence13! 🤍

@paintfairy like being randomly pinched! I felt it mostly that day and night and then still a bit crampy the following day. I was wiping dye for a couple of days 🤢🙈 it's actually clear so not too unlike ewcm.

@Florence13 oh wow and did you hold out until this morning to test? Can be easier when you don't track as you aren't hyper aware of what dpo you are!

@Crazydoglady123 thank you.

@Katao yes I held out until this morning partly because I didn’t have any tests until yesterday evening and because I’ve been trying to pretend I’m not symptom spotting for the last week 😂 plus I’ve been really busy at work so that helped the time pass.

@Katao see- I've had nothing come out? I really do have a black hole? 🤭 So I'm like- where has it gone? There was nothing on the pad I used that day either. I got some spotting but it was less than anything was needed for, if that makes sense? And i imagined the dye was blue! Literally no idea why!

Oh yaaaay @Florence13!!! Congratulations and sending sticky vibes your way! 🌈💜🥳

@larrythelizard thank you so much ☺️

@Franklydear @Minster2012 thanks, the midwife said she couldn't recommend it as not enough evidence yet so it's up to me. I just don't want to risk anything so early on so I'll probably wait

@Florence13 congratulations! 🎉🎉🎉

@Florence13 congratulations!

I finally tested as AF is due today. BFN. FML.

@Florence13 yesssss 🙌🏼 congratulations 🥳 little discreet BFP in there! Come on bean 🌈

Aaaaaaah the BFP March Madness continues! Congratulations @Florence13 ❤️❤️❤️ Who’s next?

@paintfairy I guessed they would use blue dye too - nice to hear it's not! Imagine the mess in the knickers if it was 😆

Oh no @Somatronic sorry I didn't realise it was today 😕I usually try to remember, big hugs to you it's a right bastard, are you a wine and choc at AF kinda lady??

@Florence13 aww thank you, you've helped me a lot too you know that! I'm so pleased for you 😘we are all hoping these little March beans are here to stay

@Justanothercyster yeah I think from what I've been told overall it's fine but I also think I wouldn't have it in the first trimester just to be safe

@Justanothercyster thank you and I’m due my second vaccine but choosing not to have it with being in the first trimester.

@Somatronic thank you and I’m sorry you haven’t had the same result today.

@bez91 @Haiyaa thank you both.

@Minster2012 definitely hope they are all here to stay, I’ve had a stern word with myself to try and be more positive.

@Florence13 ahhh thats AMAZING news!! Honestly so happy for you lovely!! I understand your anxious but just keep telling yourself today you are pregnant! I have all my fingers and toes crossed for you for sure! 🙏🤞 make sure you stick around xx

@Minister2012 I'm used to negatives now unfortunately. Quite annoying. I wish I knew what was wrong with me.

Wine and chocolate sounds great but I'm off drink whilst TTC and off chocolate and sweets trying to control PCOS. Though all of that feels a little pointless right now.

@2020mission well there was no mess in mine. It vanished into oblivion. I feel disappointed for the lack of blue dye pants. Why on earth i thought it was blue I've no idea?! Because yeah, that's the only colour that shows on an xray. 🤣

Congratulations @florence13, fab news!!

Sorry about the bfn @somatronic. It doesn't make it any easier seeing one when you've had a few before.

I totally thought the dye was blue too @paintfairy @katao 🤣

@florence13 omg 🎉🎉🎉 congratulations that's amazing news. I understand the anxiety tho, I'm there with you. @hollieL567 recommended a book to me, Pregnancy after Loss by Zoe Clarke-Cotes, and I'm only a few pages into it but it's already good. I'm hoping it will be helpful.

Sorry I've not chipped in much recently, with work kicking my arse, generally really low energy & there having been quite alot of chat about tests and investigations, I've not had the knowledge to chip in. But I've been reading, and cheering you on from the sidelines and I'm so so pleased that things are moving forward for so many of you 😘 2021 is our year girls!!! 💕🌈🤞🏻

@Florence13 congratulations 🥳 great news!

@Somatronic sorry about the bfn. Never gets easier does it ♥️

@Juno231 I'm with you on the fear of Nutella dick, someone we went to school with had a Nutella dick incident and was nicknamed 'jobby jabber' forevermore 🙈

@thinkingandblinking I'm with you on the household all floored with the cold this weekend. I've barely moved all day and already want to go back to bed. Doesn't help that with DS being loaded with the cold he barely slept last night. Why can they come up with cures for everything bar the cold? 🤧

@dollybird89 hooray for the end of the dry spell 🥳 must have been tears of joy that things are on the up again.....so to speak 😉

@vil10 do you usually manage to lose so much when you're trying? The reason I ask is the past 5 times I've fallen pregnant I've lost unexplained lbs right before my period whereas I usually put on a few lbs due to water retention on the lead up to my period so I'm guessing the body's working so hard behind the scenes for a jellybean that it may lead to weight loss if you usually get a gain around this time of the month. However it could also be down to all your hard work towards getting to your weight goal (and your very impressive weekly step count!) So either way it would be a win for you, well done! 😁

@Florence13 congratulations 🥳🥳🥳 thrilled for you.

Sorry to hear about the bfn @somatronic, ttc really can suck at times. If you can't have wine and choc then have a big long bubble bath or netflix binge instead.

I'm due AF somewhere between Wed - Sun, my cycles have been somewhat out of whack since Jan's CP. I was so set that I wasn't testing this month even if AF is late as I can't stomach the thought of seeing 2 lines knowing its highly likely not going to stick (history for any newbies: 5CPs (poss 6th as period was late the following cycle but I refused to test) in the past 19months, none lasting passed the 6week mark, unexplained fertility only advice being try losing weight). However now that I'm getting closer to the time of AF I'm torn between do I test so that I have figures to badger medics about, I mean if I reach something ridiculous like 10 CPs surely that means something MUST be wrong!? But as I said before the thought of actually seeing 2lines doesn't fill me with excitement anymore it actually fills me with dread so I really don't want to test. TTC sucks 🤷‍♀️

So just had my private scan and I haven't ovulated. My follicles are now f@#king massive! I don't know what the heck to do 🤷🏽‍♀️ My IVF consultant said on our consultation that I need to ovulate before I can start my down reg injections which are due to start Wednesday (cd21). I've forwarded them the scan and going to call Monday. My left ovary is so huge she could barely fit it on the scan and it's pushing my right ovary and uterus out of place. She said if they pop now I'm definitely going to know about it 😭 I hate Clomid and I wish I'd never listened to my consultant 🥺

Oh goodness @Crazydoglady123, that isn’t good at all! So you are basically a ticking time bomb?

Sorry about the BFN @Somatronic 😞 so wine and chocolate are out, anything else tickle your fancy? Blazing hot bath and a face mask?

@Haiyaa that is exactly what I am 😩😭

Ouch @Crazydoglady123 so what's the next step do they just leave them to pop and you be in pain or is there anything they can give you to make them shrink? Big hugs I know you'll be gutted as you were all geared for Wednesday.

@DKDK123 I don't think there's anything they can give me...just a waiting game!

I just googled 50mm follicle and it comes up about breeding horses...my biggest follicle is the size of a horses follicle at ovulation 😑
