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

@larrythelizard ah, I actually stayed with him for 3 1/2 years but then uni got the better of me and I wanted to play the field. 🙄 He was nice a guy as well, but ultimately I'm glad we broke up as I had so much fun in my 20's and met Dh at 28!
Good shout with the progesterone testing, hopefully they can give you some pessaries.
@Amy00 good to hear! 👍🏾
@amy2503 it's defo ok! 17 months over here but we have male factor. It's actually good to hit the year cos now you can start investigating. Lean on us for a fountain of knowledge too ♥️ there's also a 12 months plus thread that I set up if you wanted to chat to others in your situation too.
@Hopeful110 aw well done on the cake! Looks fab, bet it tasted great too 🤩

I created a new insta account and added a load of ppl that I think are from here. I might actually use it as an ivf journey account, not quite dediced yet but for now follow the flowers 💐

@Tornado2Inc I can see a tiny tiny hint of something on the ic, don't lose hope! Re test tomorrow maybe and let us know x

@larrythelizard oh that must be hard and so frustrating!! We think we're going to book somewhere maybe like Whitby for a few days with the dogs! LOVE tlc no scrubs😂 sorry af showed, what a witch!!

@notyetamumbuttrying even though I'm gutted about the holiday I'm secretly quite happy that the decision has been made for me and I don't have to stop TTC! I'll be at work when he's announcing put I think I can guess what he'll say! Hahahaha brilliant, they have a sweatshirt that says "I'm not a regular mom I'm a cool mom" and I vote you get that when you get pregnant!! Ahhhh I'm so happy for you!

@Amy00 isn't it so good, I'm such a saddo for cliche chick flicks! Definitely a silver lining, it's 8th April, so next cycle will be our last chance as af is due 31st March/1st April! Whereabouts are you in your cycle again?x

Oh and I’ve replaced all my shampoo etc with natural stuff

Have any of my posts shown up I can't see them?

@Hopeful110 Tuesday?!?! Do you know who you're talking to? 🤣🤣🤣

@notyetamumbuttrying yayyy! Hope it all goes well x
Just added you back x

@Vil10 ahhhh sciatica is the worst! Hope you're managing to get some rest today x

@Franklydear glad dh is ok and nothing worse. Good luck this tww!

@larrythelizard sorry about af :( yes definitely get it checked.

@Amy00 I know! Typical!

@amy2503 it will be ok! If it makes you feel better, a lot of us are past that point by a long time so we know how frustrating and sad it feels. It WILL happen for us. Good things take time is my saying for this week x

@hopeful110 that cake looks epic !!

Embarrassing video on Insta 🙈
Thank you for all your awesome support ladies you have given me the confidence boost to do that!

10000steps done yesterday super happy!!

@notyetamumbuttrying what is it called? Thanks so much. xx

@Tornado2Inc 🤣🤣🤣 ok maybe that was unrealistic haha! Try hold off til tomorrow? Lol

@Minster2012 big hugs lovely, hope today is a better day ♥️ yay for a flashing smiley!

@Franklydear glad your DH is OK!

@Haiyaa sorry about your BFN - still early though! It could all still change ♥️

oh God, a spa day would be incredible right now, my back is killing me and a decent massage would really help! Also, I don't know if it's just me, but I would like one day where I don't need to think about what to eat and when. I'm so very tired of meal planning 😂

@Tornado2Inc love that skirt you made! 😍

@notyetamumbuttrying oooh good luck with it all tomorrow! Keeping my fingers crossed the results are good x

@Vil10 aww bless ya, sciatica sucks! Take care of yourself today

@amy2503 don't worry, you're not the only one. It'll be a year for me too next month, but there's been quite a few ladies here who have had their BFP after more than a year of trying so all is not lost!

A combo of MN not working and overall feeling a bit shit kept me offline yesterday. Just feeling a bit...blergh. At the minute it feels like I blink and it's Monday, then I blink and it's Friday and I blink and it's Monday again. Work is just relentless and I'm so tired by Saturday I just flake out all day and then I spend Sunday cleaning and it's back to work again. I'd take a day off but it feels a bit pointless when I can't go anywhere or do anything. We've got a huge project landing at work soon anyway, so I can't actually take time off until after April so it's a moot point really. Just a bit fed up with everything. Need to strap on my big girl pants and just crack on

@Franklydear so pleased to hear your OH is ok!!! What a relief for you!

@Florence13 sorry AF is still MIA. Mine took quite a while to come back!

@InkyPaper oh sweets sorry you're feeling crap, if it makes you feel any better you are not alone !! Let yourself have a day of feeling crap xx

@Vil10 I'm thinking it's a good thing all the cramps have settled for you! Shitter about the sciatica though, im the same such a baby when it comes to being home alone! X

@inkypaper I know exactly what you mean, blink and the weekend is gone. I took a coupe days off last week as the fatigue was getting to me but I can't say it helped as I spent it doing those little jobs you don't get time to do.... It's my birthday on Friday, 27, just don't really feel up to celebrating but we are having a nandos so will look forward to that!

@Amy00 I’ve had negative tests since I started bleeding and having the loss which is why I think I feel so frustrated it’s taking so long.

@Sausage1990 thanks for sharing that hun guess I might have another week or two to wait then will try and be patient. It’s just so frustrating.

@blackcurrantqueen thanks hun if you don’t mind me asking how long did yours take to appear?

@InkyPaper sorry to hear you are feeling fed up but I also completely get how you are feeling.

Hey ladies dipping in after manic morning

Not even gonna bother telling @Tornado2Inc to retest tomorrow I'm just gonna wait for the retest 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻bloody LOVE THAT SKIRT. Can you do adults??

@Vil10 are you not going to Mexico??

@Dollybird89 yes I forgot to say massive well done on the 10000steps yesterday so 10500 or 11000 today?? And honestly fuck me ive just done that booty work out (before a v quick shag before shower, gotta cover that flashing smile!) and can people confirm that you can actually walk the day after??? @InkyPaper @paintfairy did you do it?? Can you walk after?? I'm not sure I can. Dolly you are my inspiration I'm gonna tag you and your lovely vid later for the credit it deserves you are a class act.
☝🏻this lady is doing amazing things

@InkyPaper welcome to the bleurgh club, shall we put our big pants on a stick and wave them in the air in a "we surrender" motion?? Least we have each other to make us laugh, chin up tits out gorgeous 😘

@amy2503 there's lots of ladies here who are approaching, or over the year mark, and got BFPs, we had a moan about it a few days ago, there are lots of other fab ladies in MN too in similar situations. We are all here to support each other & lean on each good times and bad however long we try.
Check out @notyetamumbuttrying's thread, and if you are over 35 and been trying for 6 months you can go to the doctors & start getting tests which is a positive step you are entitled too, or under 35 & trying for a year then the same...talk to your GP. It's really hard & I remember you & your OH work tough jobs, where you've said before the pressure of TTC & work gets to him & makes you anxious...I truly think this can have a big impact on cycles, on TTC and on wellbeing overall so I would urge you to speak to your doctor about your fears as well. It's been such a hard year for everyone we have clung together but I have found myself in a better place since I spoke to the counsellor from our ivf clinic for instance. If I were you I would talk to my gp about your anxieties 😘

@Florence13 I think from negative test it was about 6 weeks both times xx

@Vil10 yeah I get that, I'd feel the same too! Eek I'd love to get that jumper, hopefully one day soon 🤞🏾
@Justanothercyster thank you!! Remind me, was your username newbie before? Two ppl changed around the same time.
@Dollybird89 don't be embarrassed of that video, it's amazing!! Well bloody done girl 👏🏾
@amy2503 ttc 12 months and longer. ♥️
Thanks @InkyPaper I feel the same as you. Such repetitive bollocks at the minute but hopefully the end is in sight now 🙏🏾
Great advice @Minster2012 as always x

@Minster2012 I haven't done the full length one yet. But when I first did a normal workout I couldn't even move the next day! 🤣 I was in agony. I am doing every other day at the moment. Wednesday AF came and I failed. But I did Thursday/Friday to make up for it.
Do you do the cool down video after? I do but I'm still stiff. I'm hypermobile though so I often struggle with things.
Think it's time to do one now actually! Aarrrggghhh.

@Hopeful110 you are sending that cake to me right??? That looks AMAZING!!! Pieces for all us yeah!! Hope you and DH have a fab day

@Amy00 a stabyhund I'm gonna look up, we have a rare pointer and she's fab. Stupid, but soooo good we waited over a year for her & obviously she arrived & DS was born, she was 8 months old. They have grown up together & she adores him. The cockapoo ain't so fussed on DS! He can take or leave him tbh!

Ahhhh now I see your post @Vil10 for Mexico I see, well it's fine you'll be preg then anyway

@paintfairy no I do stretching after as a cool down

@Florence13 sorry to hear you're struggling, from confirmed MMC to my body back to normal was probably closer to 8 weeks, it took way longer than I expected.

@Amy00 ahhhh those stabyhouns look gorgeous 😍 me and DH always joke we had 10 years together before but decided to cram marriage, first baby, major house reno and renovation into 3/4 years

@Vil10 that's a bugger about Mexico. Hope you get something sorted?. I didn't know zika was still a thing tbh so you learn something new everyday! We went on honeymoon just off the coast of South America and that was back in 2016 so condoms all honeymoon 🙈

@Florence13 don't think there's any harm in contacting your GP or could you contact your local EPU/women's health unit for advice?
My spotting has turned into a proper light bleed. Super confused, only CD20 and AF not due until 5th March 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Hopeful110 love the cake!

Sorry you're feeling crappy @InkyPaper life does feel like a bloody merry go round at the moment in the UK I think, I have up and down days more so now than I have done before, sending love 💕

@Gensola we use those takeaway plastic pots all the time 🙈 think I've got a few things to learn!

@amy2503 it's really common for it to take a year as many of these ladies will attest to! And means you can start getting tests - get booked in at the docs to start the ball rolling, can't do any harm.

@Hopeful110 that cake looks fab!

@Vil10 there is still time for your BFP! I'm 11dpo but bfn yesterday and don't feel it at all.

@InkyPaper I know what you mean about work being relentless, I just had a terrible 6 weeks with work, and lockdown coupled with cold wet weather really doesn't help. It's been really nice and mild here this weekend which means spring is on its way plus lockdown is going to start to be eased and vaccines for everyone are on the horizon - basically I'm trying to say we need to cling onto the positives and soon we can go out for pub lunches!!

@Minster2012 I've just done the heartbreak work out, short booty 3 min vid, short arm 3 min vid (that killed me) and the cool down vid. Even my eyes are sweating. 🤣
