Supporting ‘small changes’ into spring whilst TTC...🌱🌼🌸🍀- Fun Bus 34

[Minster2012]

Last time we actually got reported straight away, for being too fun for MN...was it a week ago?? Maybe 😋😝but they can’t hold us back as the Harry Potter speed bus flies...

We’ve worked out a fleshlight for horses on a MN bus is NOT WELCOME, but how do I know what you have in your suitcase? I’m just the driver, a passenger’s belongings is their own responsibility, and my bags have LOADS of OPKs, loads of pills, fruit, veg, wine, gin & trainers for my workouts.

We aren’t just challenging ourselves to get pregnant & trying to help each other do so, we are also trying to help each other get fitter and sharing small changes we are making in our lives and trying to inspire & support each other with these too...

Have a look at the small changes beside the names and see if you want to try them yourself or add in your own!

We are in this together 🥰♥️🙌🏻💪🏻
Spring is coming, and so are we 😘🦄🍀🌸🌷🌻🌼

@paintfairy I don't actually know about normal tea. I've had it in Earl grey and its fine in that! I think oat is my favourite non dairy. Almond just tastes like amaretto to me so too strong and soya feels like chalk in my mouth 🤢

@lucyrp couldn't drink soya and I'm not an almond fan generally. I'll give it a go!

Happy birthday @Kirky658 🥳 🎉

I can't decide whether to test today at only 10 DPO... need to decide soon before I pop to the loo 😆 it feels too early but I won't enjoy a drink tonight unless I know I'm clear to. It's a FRER

@DKDK123 going to try and speak to my line manager about the furlough note in my HMRC account and see what he comes back with. They have us on "flexi furlough" right now which they funnily enough only brought up late January right when the government announced the furlough would be made public and visible in HMRC accounts! Since February we switched to work 10-4 instead of 9-5.30 but I reckon they are still claiming the full 80% - they won't tell us or give us anything in writing 🙄 I have to be careful though as I don't want to end up unemployed by pushing too much. It's annoying we have to just put up with it or leave.

@2020mission that's appalling, and illegal, is anonymous tip to HMRC an option?
@Kirky658 happy birthday 🎉🎂🍾🍆
@Minster2012 thank you for being your lovely you

I am off to bed, in bestie's orders, I might even sleep

Def to bed with you @Franklydear

@2020mission do you have any other FRERs in if it's beg to test again in few days?

@paintfairy oat milk is the only milk substitute I'll try! the barista version is the nicest though. It's almost a bit nutty? And yes HSG is today! Got the ultrasound at 1030 and HSG straight after. All prepared. Taken two types of antibiotics, drank kefir to help my poor tummy, taken two co-codamols and put big pants on that can fit a sanitary pad lol (I normally only wear thongs). I have to arrive with a full bladder so that's my big concern atm as I wouldn't mind going to the loo right now! and surely I'll need a #2 soon after my morning tea?

@paintfairy yessssssss on losing weight!!!

@Franklydear hope you're feeling better soon!

@Minster2012 yeah I have a pack of 2. I've just went to the loo and didn't test 😅 I'll hold off at least another day. My temperature hasn't jumped anymore today so feeling less optimistic! Good luck with your consultation this morning 😀

Oh didn't realise you had that today @Juno231 hope that goes well. Thongs all the time too?? I gave up on those after my teens. Can't handle the permanent wedgie 😆

I'm impressed that @2020mission has held off testing and that @Juno231 still wears thongs. Well done ladies!

You ONLY wear thongs @Juno231 wow!! I wear them for special occasions!! Good luck!!

Well done @2020mission still got everything crossed for you xx

@lucyrp was MIA myself for a while, sometimes the break is needed. Hope ur well x

@franklydear ah bless, so kind of him to offer.

@inkypaper ur not out until the witch shows so 🤞🤞

@2020mission hows the charts looking today. Go test, u know u want to.

@juno231 hope all goes well today hunni x

Thongs 🤣 I dont even wear for special occasions, my ass would eat them up 🤣🤣 as as for special occasions, the only "special occasion" in the last yr happened in the bedroom so I go commando 🤣

Hahaha I struggle so much with normal pants - my bum eats them up! They just wedge in there and get so uncomfortable whereas I never feel a thong 😅

@Juno231 good luck! I'm interested to know how it goes! I hope it's not too bad for you. Bladder is a concern. Why? I literally cannot hold it once it gets to a point!

Thongs?! Aaarrrggghhh. I can never understand how people wear them. They go right up my arse. I mean, uncomfortably. I think my arse is too fat. 🙈
I prefer the short type pants. Most other things ride up to be honest. Hate it!

I'm with @paintfairy on the short style pants . I feel like I'm being sliced in 2 if I wore a thong 😳

@kirky658 happy birthday 🤗🎂🙌

@minster2012 if you click on your video in tiktok there should be 3 dots on right side where you can share to other apps. Insta is there somewhere. (But I'd remove sound as Insta don't like music on mine and tries to remove it)

@franklydear glad you taken the day to be a potato x get some well need rest!!

@2020mission that is very impressive self-restraint, well done!!

@Juno231 thongs are a very special occasion here!! DH's birthday next month so I think he might get lucky!

@2alreadywantanother no temperature change today but RHR dropping so I'm not feeling very hopeful now. Might hold this afternoon and test then before the drinks just to be sure. My 2-5 days pre AF spotting should be due soon if I'm out.

Honestly @2020mission I'd trust the bbt b4 the RHR to be honest. Ans what's the difference between now and this evening. 🤞🤞 & 🦶 all crossed for u.

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone, been a pretty rubbish day so far. Had to get up to drive the car 30 miles for its service, they've told me it might not be ready till 5 but might be ready before so got to wait around all day for a call, then got back and the dog had eaten the plastic eye off our doorstop and shredded one of my resistance bands.... Its gotta get better right?! 😅

Chocolate spread sandwich is a decent lunch right? It was Cadbury if it makes a difference, and I have scones and cream coming for tomorrow afternoon tea

@franklydear your making my mouth water!🤤 id kill for some chocolate spread right now!
You feeling any better??

@kirky658 that sucks waiting all day! You have anything nice planned with OH for later?

I've just been for a nice mile walk with the dog such a lovely sunny day... I even got my washing out on the line! ( totally an adult when you get excited about that!)
Shopping soon then got to decide today's workout. Not sure which one to do

@franklydear I'm jealous that sounds amazing for lunch! I'm about to do boiled eggs.

@dollybird89 we are having a takeaway nandos and a film night with some chocs and treats so excited for that x

@2alreadywantanother haha such a test enabler for @2020mission ! I'm excited for the test though!

@paintfairy ah well my instructions specifically said to come with a full bladder as they need a urine sample but half an hour before I desperately needed #2 from nerves/tea/kefir/antibiotics lol so was worried about that combo! Managed to do it without wasting any wee so all golden on that front (oooh no pun intended!).

Well that HSG was the most undignified thing I've done in a hospital setting so far. Raised up high on a table in a room with 3 people and naked waist down with my legs in the butterfly position so that a small Indian man could be at eye level with my fanjo lol. Highlight was him cleaning it/wiping it ahead of the procedure, fo sho. Pain wise it was better than expected but still not fun - I genuinely thought I'd poo the table from pain but luckily it only lasted about 30 seconds? That was purely the dye as well, the insertion of the catheter wasn't noticeable.

Dude said my tubes looked clear which is good. In hindsight I wanted to challenge him but my mind wasn't in the right frame for it at the time. I say this as I could see the xrays the whole time and I could very clearly see the outline of my left tube but absolutely nothing on my right? Implying the dye hasn't gone through. But he's the expert!

Ultrasound wise the lady told me nothing about how it went - she did ask some questions though which implied maybe some anomalies? Like she had to clarify with me that I wasn't on any hormonal medication (but from the tone of her voice it looked like something was indicating it - so not just a fact check pre procedure) and then double checked with me how long ago I came off the pill. So I'm not sure if she saw too many follicles/cysts or none at all (I'm in FW so should have some activity). I won't find out until my next appointment with the fertility clinic though.

Only OH's SA left to do and then next steps!
