Yoga slurping & keep fit POASticking - TTC unconventionally BUS 33

[Minster2012]

So our valentines treats did the trick & we’ve got some BFPs for February...HORRAY!! 🥳♥️😘

We’ve picked up some newbies who come armed with a flesh light for horses, 🐴a penchant for McSteamy & 2 extra Sausages 🐶🍆for us to add to our rowdy bus.

If all else fails we can send our dogs round the country...stud them to each other cos they don’t understand social distancing and get a hella cute bus loads of pups instead, they can then teach us how to do it!

Grab your popcorn for Married for at First Sight, your briefcase for the horse spunk & make your decision on whether you are McSteamy or McDreamy...🩺

We’ve got the fastest TTC 🚌in the UK & we talk like it’s a WhatsApp group so be prepared...but don’t worry cos long as you pop in and out & say hello once in a while you can sit on top, we’ve got room for you to chill out if TTC gets too much.

We are a rowdy bus of newbies, oldies with history, excited ladies going forwards for IVF & pregnant mates we can’t get rid of and we are now OWED BIG.

And if you see mention of my blog then blame these guys they made me do it...#shamelessplug

@Gensola I'm taking CoQ10 an organic one, evening primrose oil, and & pregnacare pregnancy Cos that's what I have left over & vitamin D 25mg and pomegranate juice! I've been told vitamin e wasn't great? @Juno231 was that you mentioned that? My omega 3 had that in and I take it on and off as I never know what's best. DH takes a men's fertility which is also organic and made of tomatoes 😂

@Tornado2Inc I didn't see your lines this morning did I miss them???

What should the new bus be called??? Though maybe another day at least I hope!

@Minster2012 there are ALWAYS lines there, it's my new thing 😂 Though I admit I did sleep in...

@Minster2012 what a shitty shit day. Hope you drank lots of wine and enjoyed your movie to take your mind off it. And as for the barn, you have just as much right, that lady is a knob.
and yay for flashing smiley!

Had bloody nightmares all night, vampire dogs attacking me, dh getting hit on by young beautiful girls, losing my pup, the lot! Definitely been watching too much Buffy recently 😂

Somewhat TTC unrelated, but this skirt I made for my 3yo yesterday was inspired by @Minster2012

Love the skirt @Tornado2Inc, 🌈 👸🏻 So do you have a squinter?

Nice one on the flashing smiley @Minster2012, now to manifest it into a static!

DH doesn’t take vitamins but might get him on some as we had covid in the New Year and heard it can effect sperm quality.

@Haiyaa kinda/sorta. Then again, I can find a squinter at CD4, so most likely not 😂

@Vil10 the quotes from mean girls are outstanding! I spent my uni days saying them 😂
@Clairey844 haha aww bless your toddler helper, so cute! ☺️
@Minster2012 glad you're feeling better today and that you have plans in place! Good to hear about the flashing opk, let's hope you don't get passed 9 of them! 🤞🏾
@Franklydear I'm glad you're Dh is going to be ok
@Tornado2Inc loving that skirt, well done 👏🏾
@Haiyaa get him on wellman conception or if you want something with real bite get him on impryl or proxeed plus.
@Gensola I take coQ10, vit d and folic acid. Was on vita dha (omega 3 and zinc) but the fishy burps were annoying me 😆

It's my amh and the repeat SA tomorrow ladies 🥳 I'm actually leaving the house and getting on public transport, how exciting!

Morning ladies! 8dpo today and no more cramps! Haven't really got the urge to poas yet, but I don't have any tests in anyway! Also, I saw last night the things that Boris will discuss tomorrow night, about when thinks are reopening etc, and it said about domestic holidays not going ahead until July, which is gutting for me because I love my abroad holidays, however do people remember my dilemma with Mexico, Zika, TTC etc?? Maybe this means I can carry on TTC because Mexico will be cancelled anyway (supposed to go in June). I had an awful sleep last night, I can't really sleep when OH isn't there anyway, I woke up at 4am with my sciatica, in the side I had operated on too, all down my vag and bum, horrible, then OH Didn't get in until 5, so a chill day is definitely on the cards for today!

@lucyrp I hate bad dreams, I feel like they just ruin my day

@Minster2012 yayy for flashing smiley, we can hope right?? And fuck that lady about the barn, does she realise you're Minster?

@Haiyaa sorry about bfn but you're not out yet!!🤞🏼my OH doesnt take vitamins either, I feel like if he was a smoker, or inactive or whatever I'd want him to but he has such a healthy lifestyle I don't just want to be picking at things, obviously if we get to the year mark and we have tests and there's something wrong with his sperm it'll be another story!

@Tornado2Inc a line?? Is there a pic??

@notyetamumbuttrying I still say them sometimes now😂😂 have you seen that I saw it first have brought out a mean girls range?😂 yassss to the tests tomorrow, it all seems to be going so quickly for you I'm so excited!

@Vil10 I wouldn't really call it a line. It is barely visible with a naked eye, but something shows up with maxing out contrast on my phone. This is the best I can get it to show. I have been using these tests for ages and when they are white, they are white. So don't know. They are ICs after all and it's possible I was unlucky enough to draw some 4-5 leaky-dye ones in a row.
Can't see anything on FRER, though that was smu, as opposed to fmu for ICs

Morning ladies
@Minster2012 good plan with the tenant, specially if you don't plan to evict her, there's an interest there for her
@lucyrp arrggggg the dreams, mine is repetitive at the moment, I am making my way on the bus to the vaccine centre but I never get there
@Dollybird89 disaster! I put 3 pounds on half-term, I haven't gone anywhere, not eating more, I really need to start your workouts
@Tornado2Inc sorry, can't see anything, but I never do

Thanks all for the relieved wishes for DH, it really is good there's no heart trouble
Officially on the tww now

I can maybe see a very very faint thing @Tornado2Inc...see what happens over the next few days. Love your tutu! I wish I was crafty but I'm really not!

@Minster2012 a flashing smiley is a start!!

exciting day all round @notyetamumbuttrying - on the way to answers AND leaving the house!

@Vil10 I also love to be abroad but had come to terms with it not happening a few weeks ago (my sister and parents live abroad so no seeing them for the foreseeable!), I've booked a couple of uk things instead - find it bearable having something to look forward to. And at least it means no Zika worries?!

@Haiyaa 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@Franklydear I have been awful lately, lost 3 stone last year and have lost all motivation to not eat shit all the time, need to get back on it.

I'm batch cooking for the week at the moment to the 'best of 2002' on Spotify. It seems I still know all the words to TLC No Scrubs!

@Tornado2Inc great skirt! Love how @Minster2012 is sipping colour into our lives 🌈🤩

@Vil10 aw hun, sorry to hear about your bad nights sleep! Hope your OH shift was ok. Yes I do remember your dilemma. Seems the choice might be made for you then! So pleased he's announcing tomorrow, we'll all be glued to the tele won't we!
Omg a mean girls clothes range?! Love it! That's so fetch 😜
Aww thanks, I'm excited too! It's all go after tomorrow cos we'll have our private appointments early March 💪 and a decision on what we're gonna do and when 😬
@Tornado2Inc you're right with the tests. Can see something on the ICs but not the frer.
@larrythelizard I'm more excited for getting on the tube and seeing a different part of the river again 🤪 I really hope his sperm has improved!! 🤞🏾 great playlist. 2002 was a great year for music. I was doing my GCSEs and thought I was the coolest for having an older boyfriend 😂

Morning ladies, DDOS attack sounds exciting, maybe it's the pissing on our chips women from the AIBU thread 🤣

Not much to report from me, we have got to go to b&m to get chicken wire and fence posts to stop the dog escaping, and my mood swings are out of control, it is literally ridiculous the slightest thing is driving me mental

Hope everyone is doing OK and good news about your DH @franklydear x

@larrythelizard I also have the family abroad, it's awful not knowing when you'll see them again, fil had a stroke in lockdown too, luckily he's recovering remarkably, on the power of like fuck I am going to be dependent on anyone, first time being a stubborn ass has been helpful, love him really

Same here @notyetamumbuttrying but no cool older boyfriend for me!

@Franklydear it's easiest not to really think about it...it's a pretty weird thought though!

AF has turned up, one day later than advertised so luteal phase went to an astonishing 8 days...! Will be pressing ahead with finding someone to test my progesterone levels!

Bloody Mumsnet going down yesterday!!

@notyetamumbuttrying hey! Yep I'm on the COQ10 and pregnacare, and omega3 and choline. All the goodies!! And @Gensola! I've just ordered that book "it started with the egg" as my new thing to try this month. Always need something new to try to feel like things are moving forward!

@Minster2012 hello! I'm back! The pup I want and have wanted for years is a stabyhoun (and @Kirky658, @larrythelizard) . It's mega rare in the uk there are like 250 in the country, but that is up from about 50 in 2016 so they are growing. They look like spaniels, supposed to be great with kids, trainable etc but can be a bit sensitive. Literally I've wanted one for years but haven't had the right circumstances to properly look after one - but now OH has a job where he will be WFH even after lockdown 95% of the time and my work I can flexibly work from home a few days a week, and we have our big new house and garden, finally just about ready!! Although do feel a bit like we are taking on everything at the same time with house, baby, puppy - but on all of these the timeline is a bit hazy still!

What a shitter with the ivf. Absolutely amazing news on your egg reserves though - those are some tough cookies you've got chilling in there!

It is totally understandable that the Facebook post would make you feel down. And those bloody preg announcements - think we all feel the same way about those! That is exciting about the barn conversion - how strange they seemed to overlook you wanting it as a home. Usually that is the preference ?! But I guess if it's a company selling it they just want the ££££. Good to see you are feeling better this morning ☺️ and fingers crossed for your static!!

@MartyMcShy eek we will have to live in the house really as don't have family close by and can't really impose on friends in these Covid times?! But maybe by the time the work starts it would be ok!!

@Justanothercyster nooo to the glasses of water!! 😂 blame the hormones. That double pregnancy story is ridiculous- what are the chances?!

@Vil10 love mean girls!! What a classic!! That is gutting about Mexico (although TTC silver lining) - when is the cut off for the refund again?

@Haiyaa I know what you mean, 10dpo is in theory still early but I also got by bfn yesterday at 10dpo and convinced myself I'm out. I've had bfps at 7, 9 and 11 dpo before - but I don't trust the 7 as that surely is physically too early, and the 11 was a strong line on a frer so I'm sure if I had tested earlier I'd have seen a line at 9/10 dpo. I forgot to test again this morning as I'm so sure I'm out!

@Tornado2Inc line eyes?? 👀 is there a photo we need to see?

@bez91 sorry to hear your spotting and not feeling positive. I have to admit I presumed my af would have turned up by now as was just under 6 weeks when I had the loss so assumed my body would go back to normal pretty quickly. Just not sure when I should seek to do something about it as it’s nearly 7 weeks now without any sign of af.

@Minster2012 I know my body is completely messed up right now. Oh yay for flashing smiley hope you get a static!

@Tornado2Inc hmm I just saw you did post photos - I think the cheapies photo is a bit dark, I can't see anything, but maybe see the tiniest start to a line on the frer if you zoom in loads?! But not sure. Test again tomorrow and let us know!!!

@Florence13 sorry about AF MIA, mine took 6 weeks to return after my MMC last year and even then I was getting faint positives up until halfway though the next cycle (I didn't ov that cycle) so it really messed up my hormones. Try to be patient and focus on looking after yourself and things will get back to normal eventually! Do you have negative tests yet - I did have to go back to the EPU for a scan to check if I had retained tissue as I had those positive tests for so long (they didnt find anything but it was some reassurance).

@florence13 I'm sorry your body isn't settling as you'd hoped. It's hard bit too but try not to worry too much. My period didn't come back until 8 weeks after my negstive test after MMC. It felt like forever and was so frustrating but it will come. 💕

Hi- I'll be hitting a year ttc soon.. can I please have some reassurance that it's okay?? It's making me really sad xxxx

@Tornado2Inc I can see a very very faint line on the IC but not the frer; but as you said the frer was smu that might be why. I'd try and hold off until Tuesday and retest 🤞🤞

@Minster2012 well....heres the cake haha! It actually tastes good to be fair and we put some of OH fav sweets on it too. Excuse my dodgy icing writing skills 🤣

@Amy00 - ooh let me know what you think of the book, I have taken on board most of her IVF recommendations:
Got rid of plastic food boxes and utensils. Will still use non stick pans but apart from that the kitchen is pretty much plastic free.
Low carb Mediterranean diet.
Supplements as above, which are all her IVF recommendations.
Acupuncture booked.
Let’s hope it makes a diff!
