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 😘🦄🍀🌸🌷🌻🌼

4 BFPs for February so far, still time left ladies

Sorry for the essay ladies!

Aww @Juno231 glad that's over 😅 and nothing bad happened during... I'd be worried too haha. That's puzzling about only one tube dye visible yet he said both were clear? Surely he wouldn't have a need to lie though! So it's overall good news then?

@2alreadywantanother I checked and my last chemical in August I tested at 12 DPO and it wasn't a strong line (I've attached) so holding off until tomorrow at least for 11 DPO. I hope no one skims this and thinks I've got a BFP - it's old, still not pregnant!! 🤣

Thank you ladies, I feel nearly normal again, having an unhealthy day, cheese sandwich...
Call the office, bossboy wasn't there and surprise surprise he lied to me, not going in left them short, but had he told me the truth I would have drag myself to work, so... maybe he was right not to tell me

@2020mission haha I definitely gasped when I saw the pic! I think that's a pretty strong line tbh but totally get holding off. 11DPO should be good though!

@Franklydear I'm glad he didn't tell you the truth then! I hope you feel better soon and bless DS for his offer to help mummy

@Juno231 interesting. Glad it wasn't too painful. Although it sounds very undignified! Yikes. I know what you mean about questioning but you bloody expect them to know? I thought full bladder might be for the scan or something. Urine sample you don't need to be wetting yourself all morning for that, surely? I'm terrible.
It'll be good to know what they see and say. You surely don't need to wait until July for that though, do you? When is SA?

I've my scan on Monday. The way she described (by phone) i should talk over that straight after it, and the SA results too. But whether that'll happen, we shall see. I'm due to ovulate over the weekend so it should have happened by the time I'm scanned. No idea if they can see that? But on one I had before, I was about to and he said there were follicles and it looked normal. I never trust what they say either!

@Kirky658 sounds like my birthday! My car had to go garage and wouldn't start either, when I went to take it. 🤣 Yay. But I hope you enjoy this evening.

Workout complete. I did the walkman one. Thank god it was mostly arm based. I still can't walk.

@paintfairy yeah they should be able to see that there was a dominant follicle even after ovulation - that's what happened to me last time and they said they could see I'd ovulated from my right ovary. I think with a hycosy they can talk you through it as it happens whereas with xrays they have to look at things properly afterwards for the report so tends to not be anything on the spot. My last US though the lady told me then and there everything looked good whereas this one was like right, your doctor will get the report in 7-10 working days... As for urine test - I wasn't wetting myself all morning but also didn't want to go to the loo only 30 min before the sample as I would have struggled then. Likewise I'm so glad I went or I'd have actually pooped myself on that HSG table! We're gonna try and do the SA week after next as I need his swimmers now for FW and so he wouldn't be able to abstain for a test. I'm excited for you next week as it sounds you could be doing an IUI in March already!

@Juno231 When I had my scans at the gp- the first person said nothing. The second actually was a bit more forthcoming. Its not nice sitting waiting to be told really! I just hope they do speak to me after the scan Monday, or i could end up knowing nothing for who knows how long. But I'll have to have a HSG/hycosy booked after that anyway (assuming they don't say we are useless and need ivf) and I assume they'll have to wait until next month because I'll already have ovulated. I think it'll be a while yet until anything useful happens! I'm in no rush though. As long as its moving forward at a steady pace.

@Juno231 only skim reading but I too can't wear any big underwear unless at home and on period. Thongs all day every day 😂 my bum looks horrid with any other type of pants on. And feels gross under jeans I just can't do it. Has to be a thong.

@2alreadywantanother I'm well thank you! How are you ? I didn't notice you coming back so sorry! I'm not very good at keeping up atm x

@Kirky658 happy birthday girl! Enjoy that afternoon nap 🥰🥰🥰

@lucyrp just back the other day and ready to get pregnant 🤰🤣🤣 just onto my tww so 🤞🤞

@2020mission dont do that to me 🙈 I nearly had a heart attack lol

@Juno231 that's good it's all done, it's so hard not to read something into everything they say. Let's hope the next 7-10 days go quickly and then you'll have the results.

@2020mission yeah I scrolled and got all excited for a minute!!

@Franklydear sounds nice, I had chicken curry for lunch, now trying to resist the vegan cookies DH brought back from the bakery this morning...trying to hold off until after tea!

Happy birthday @Kirky658 🎉🎉🎉

@InkyPaper sorry about the bfn x

@Juno231 thanks for the info about your hcg, super helpful to hear that experience. I'm definitely going to make sure I ask questions even if it annoys them now haha. I'm so scared of getting my hycosy because of the pin people have mentioned but I need to man up if I'm going to one day shove a child out my vag 😂

@paintfairy yay to losing weight!

@Dollybird89 we've just been for a lunchtime walk too, glorious sunshine today ☀️

@2020mission I initially skimmed and thought yay! Good luck for tomorrow x

@Franklydear im glad you're resting up today.

@DKDK123 that's literally what we've said! I think it's exactly what we need and who knows, a break could do us a world of good! We've said that, could always stop being careful and start trying whilst we're there!

@notyetamumbuttrying I will do, I'm staying here definitely, I want to keep up to date with all your journeys!! I'm CD1 so stopping from now yeah x

@InkyPaper thanks lovely, I feel quite excited for it so definitely know it's the right thing! So sorry about the bfn, sending hugs x

@Kirky658 happy birthday❤️❤️

@Juno231 glad it wasn't too painful for you!! I've had many embarrassing times in doctors and hospitals, I think now nothing can embarrass me, no dignity left😂 try not to think too much into what they've said, hope the results come quickly for you!!

On the underwear front I wear gym wear pretty much everyday unless I'm going out somewhere, which obviously at the minute is not happening, so always wear thongs so there's no knicker line, but with things you can't see the line like jeans, skirts, shorts, I'll wear cheeky, OH thinks my arse looks mint in them so can't go wrong, then I'll wear full knickers when I'm on my period!

@vil10 haha yes on the gymwear! I've been living in my gym leggings since covid made an appearance. Same with VPL then so thongs work best

@Justanothercyster ha I was genuinely thinking about the birth bit as it was happening. Genuinely though it was just one big cramp when the dye went in - nothing else.

@paintfairy ah sorry I forgot the hycosy/hsg hadn't been booked yet and thought monday was it. Managed to book OH an SA for next Friday so can't wait to be able to email the doctor to let them know all the tests have been carried out (in less than a month!)

@Juno231 I'm definitely impressed by the speed of things!

Has anyone got any gym wear recommendations? I liked at emkfits suggestions but it's not cheap. It's only for home so need decent but nothing fancy?

@paintfairy i got mine from simply be 😁

@paintfairy M&S has good leggings - ie don't slide down, have a pocket for your phone etc. I used by mine from gap but they're like £40 so would only do it when there was a sale and I could apply cashback as well.

@DKDK123 thank you for all the fitbit invites btw - they make me so happy and are definitely giving me a kick up the bum 😁

I like these leggings @paintfairy - they stay up, are squat proof and have pockets! They've just been reduced so I've ordered a couple of new pairs.

Just about to check in and did a scroll down as per @2020mission GET IN GIRLLLLLLLLLLL 🥳😘🙌🏻♥️🙌🏻🥳😍☺️look at that!!!! You beauty!!!

Oh fuck I skimmed 😭😢😢😭😭😢

I'll get back in my box now 😳😂😆sorry @2020mission bloody hope it's that tomorrow

Aww I'm so sorry I feel like I've trolled you all 🤣 ok new rule... no more photos of old BFPs in this thread. Deal? Also @Minster2012 I just saw your workout video 🙌 looked great. Although you look fit already haha so you can't have anything to shed surely!

I'll get on to painting my nails shortly for the weekend 💅🏻

Quick question... you ladies don't wear thongs during workouts do you? Does anyone else also think of that word as flip flops haha

@Juno231 I literally live in gym wear and trainers😂

@paintfairy I love gymshark for gym wear, it is quite expensive but you definitely get the quality! I have a few pairs of Nike and under armour that are good too, a pair from h&m arrived today though and they're really comfy and nice, I just got them for at home and walking I can use my best ones for working out!

I was sooooo exited 😢😭@2020mission & only @skip86 could call them thongs! I'm pretty fit but need toning, Jesus there was one bit, the lunges I couldn't keep up at all! But I've done 4 days straight of HIIT so that's my excuse & I'm sticking to it! There better be a BFP pic from you tomorrow 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

If anyone cares I like a good french knicker & a nice "normal" pant but a nice one. Bright colours OBVIOUSLY @2alreadywantanother commando here is a very special occasion. I was going to defloof today but seeing as I want DH to munch me rotten & sometimes it means I can't DTD after I have just decided he gets what he's given 😂🤣☺️thats marriage for you! Maybe I'll go commando instead.

@Dollybird89 have you recovered after your vaccine now? Back on it tomorrow?!

@Kirky658 what is a plastic eye on your doorstep?? Oooo what's your Nando's order??

@Juno231 that made me laugh, I'm sorry but it prepares you for ivf! In my call with consultant earlier we discussed a HSG an he said sometimes it can not work or show an issue when there isn't one (as in not show anything) as a valve can go into spasm during the test so maybe that's what happened during yours for one of the tubes (the one you couldn't see the dye going through) maybe you can ask? But hey for getting some answers and quickly & SA to do! 🙌🏻

@Franklydear I'm struggling to see how a cheese sandwich is unhealthy??? But glad you feel better!

@paintfairy loving the workouts!! And yours is next week too, so is this your baseline scans? Everything about ivf is undignified 🤣😂

I wear leggings A LOT of the time but normal "everyday ones"?! Then often am too lazy to change into sports wear. Too much washing. I'm such a lazy ass. I know I'm sorry. Burn me at the stake 🤪😆I wear gym wear from Primark & Tesco. Cheap for the win!

So my news.
Apparently I'm a medical miracle.
My AMH has actually increased. A lot. Nigh on impossible. I'm still getting my head round it we've got so much on & he said initially as I've had the vaccine we couldn't do a fresh round of ivf for 2 months after the second vaccine then wait a cycle (so July)
I was in tears but still happy

I prepared to dog walk with my friend
I got another call saying more news in on the vaccine
Long story short we can go again sooner
I can phone on the end of this period to leave dates to go on the next one.

Fuuuuuuuucccccckkkkk

@Minster2012 omg that's amazing news! You really are one of a kind 🌟 get in there!!
