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

@lucyrp @catherinettc I am also really struggling with sleep atm. Sleeping in the day then can't get comfy at night, want to sleep on my back but apparently you're not meant to after 12 weeks so trying to get out of the habit. Waking up to pee constantly. Thank god I had a better night last night else I'd be on the verge of tears today!

@Kirky658 sleeping on your back is not allowed from 20 weeks to do with squashing a certain nerve which can cause you and baby problems. But I'm still sleeping on my back for small periods now!

@lucyrp I reckon my midwife is old school when I had my bloods on monday she told me post 12 weeks lol... She also said not to let my heart rate get above 140 in the first trimester which has now been proven wrong 🤣 she was lovely but very old school x

@Kirky658 oh really ?🤣 so many cross wires between different midwives it's annoying! I'm swapping midwives anyway soon and the nee one I'm being given is actually one of the midwives who looked after me in hospital after I had DS I think so that will be lovely. Hopefully she's not as airy fairy. Got to have the conversation with my current midwife about why I'm changing at my 16 week so thag will be fun 😬x

@Minster2012 an email? Are we going to have the tittles pre-approved?

@Kirky658 @lucyrp I can't sleep on my back when I'm not pregnant lol. I sleep on my stomach with my leg in a kinda right angle (stay at school kids 🤣) but obviously can't do this now. I'm counting the days to lying flat out on my belly 🤣🤣 I haven't been sleeping properly for weeks now 🤷‍♀️ bought a massive pregnancy pillow but I get too warm when I use it so I use a cushion between my knees x

@Minster2012 I have such a sweet tooth right now 🤦‍♀️ although weight gain has slowed right down. Showed really early but kinda stopped now. Cant beli6u got in big trouble 🤣🤣 well actually I can 🤣🤣 I knew as soon as I saw the title last night that it would get reported. Some people have no sense of humour whatsoever 🤷‍♀️ I'm sure u have learned ur lesson (not) 🤣🤣 xx

@Juno231 so sorry darlin, family's can be complete knobs can't they! Xx
@Catherinettc ahh ok so not a 10 year old that I'd imagined then 😂
@Minster2012 shit they emailed you, eek!!Noted on the spoilers! Ladies you'll have to contain yourselves then as you'll want to chat chat chat during and after!! There's a mafs thread on here, you may have to join it!

@lucyrp oooo that sounds like fun! I know lol. That's nice you get the same one though that's lovely.

I just made cheese and ham toasties for our lunch, sat down to eat it and the bread had gone mouldy. A 10 minute crying fit ensued. Emergency pizza in the oven. Just can't cope today, work is a nightmare, have a headache, now this! Goddamn hormones!!!!

@Catherinettc neither can I. Hate being on my back but seen as no position is comfortable I try each on in a routine for about 5 minutes each hence the tossing and turning 🤣 I sleep exactly the same way normally! Try to do it so I get my leg on a right angle over OHs leg but he has none of it as he doesn't like sleeping on his back either 😂

@Kirky658 highly doubt she'll remember me but hey!🤣

@Kirky658 I've made cheese grilled sandwiches for lunch, American style, we have meat dinners for a few days so trying to keep lunches veggie, for me, D's could have meat in all his meals including breakfast
@Juno231 your family sounds as shitty as mine, not all thankfully, only remember you when they want something
On the manchild, one of my cousins win, in his fifties, never moved out, never had a permanent job, when his mum had to go into hospital for a couple of days, aunty had to go to clean the house and cook for him, I am actually terrified that when his parents are gone, were gonna have to have the conversation of who's looking after him, not me, definitely not me, we're not close as with all of these he still thinks he's superior and judges all my life choices

Btw I'm at a fertility seminar provided by work - hosted by two IVF specialists. They're def saying to cut back on carbs/eating more low GI foods due to the effect of insulin spikes and metabolic disorders has on egg quality. Exactly what "it starts with the egg" said which I chose to ignore lol.

Maybe my thing for lent should be eating low GI!

@BeastOfBODMAS test! And welcome x

@Juno231 I'm so sorry you are having to put up with that again, and sending you so many hugs on this very difficult day ❤️

@Minster2012 oh bless you. Silly curtain twitchers. Maybe we can still keep the titles fun but not so TMI just to avoid that again.

@Kirky658 oh no hun, not what you need right now! I can so imagine me being like you when I'm raging with pregnancy hormones haha. I think I'll cry about food a lot because I'm not far off that now 😂

Any tips for increasing progesterone? I know we've spoken about it before but I can't remember.

@notyetamumbuttrying to be fair she only looks about 10 years old lol. She's grown this last year but has always been tiny with a baby face. She started school in am 18 to 24 months jacket. Trying to get a uniform for her was awful 🤦‍♀️🤣

This is my girls ❤ (after eldest gave the youngest a makeover 🤦‍♀️) xx

@Catherinettc gorgeous girlies! 😍

@notyetamumbuttrying I know I don't know how I managed that 🤣🤣 and different dads biologically (although hubby brought eldest up since 1 year old) so yeah I'm taking full credit for the good looks cos it can't be dads genes 🤣🤣 xx

@Catherinettc defo you hun 😘 I'm always intrigued in who will dominate as I'm
Black and my husbands white but it really can go either way in terms of looks etc. I'm gonna be so intrigued when/if the time comes!

@notyetamumbuttrying aaw that's class :) 2 wee ones next door to me are mixed race both same mum and dad and are 2 completely different skin colours. Most beautiful kids ever. Takes everything in my power not to steal them when I see them 🤦‍♀️🤣🤣 my hubby would have quite olive skin and goes really dark in the sun. Kids are all raging they got my skin (naturally ginger with freckles here lol) and all burn on holiday 🤣🤣 with the exception of the youngest, she goes a gorgeous golden colour the wee witch 🤣🤣 xx

@Crazydoglady123 Ermm it depends really! If I've been outside a lot that day I find I just can't warm up for the rest of the day and have to sleep in a hoodie! That's good to know though, Thankyou x

@paintfairy so sorry af has arrived for you!!x

@Minster2012 @lucyrp that's lovely and so thoughtful!!

@DOB78 definitely a line!! Congrats!!c

@Catherinettc wow! You hear of that happening with twins but not usually siblings. My sisters kids are mixed race and both the same colour. They're actually a very good mix of the two of them and just so cute! I'd love to post a pic but doubt my sister would be too happy to know I'd shared their faces on a public forum 😆

@justanothercyster one of those days today hun. The dog just disappeared from the garden, no idea where he had gone, went up and down the street, talking to people, no sign. When we walked back up the drive he was in our neighbours garden!!!! Gahhh I've had it today

@Juno231 your family sound a delight. 🤨
MAFS post on here? Where? @notyetamumbuttrying

@notyetamumbuttrying yeah my sister would slap me 🤣🤣 I'm not worried about being outed lol. I don't know that many people 🤣🤣 xx

@Catherinettc @notyetamumbuttrying sorry just eavesdropping on your convo. My dad is white and my step mum is Ethiopian and my bro and sis are so gorgeous in skin tone. I'm so jealous!

@Kirky658 oh no bloody animals! Glad he's back safe now x

@Justanothercyster I have been doing extensive googling on this and it seems that the usual fibre, vitamins (C, omegas, vitamin B6, zinc, magnesium) are key. Also read about L-Argentine but not sure what that is!

@paintfairy 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

I considered giving up sugar for lent (not religious but like the idea of that) but then I accidentally ordered 1kg of haribo 😬😬
