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 😘🦄🍀🌸🌷🌻🌼

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

@Justanothercyster mad dash for impryl now. 🤣
@Juno231 good job your on it! I'm ovulating about now too. Usually do and cm is good. Also horny. Still... 🤣

Wow look at that @Juno231 yess get on it!

I feel finally better and starting checking everything for the week as I've done nothing since Thursday, happy to report that DH has kept everything ticking and I don't need to panic

Glad to hear it @Franklydear its 1 less stress when u know theres someone looking after things when ur out of action

Just had an argument with DH about it. I suggested we try impryl but it's expensive. He then said what's the point because we know its not me (erm? That's a lie being you have low motility) and then went on to say that I'm obsessed, more so than my friend (who really is obsessed to the point its probably damaging) and i never stop talking about it?
I don't think I ever really talk about it? Other than about the appointments (am I meant to not say anything?) and things like this? I did mention this morning that someone on MN was pregnant after taking the impryl and they'd been trying ages but it's not like I go on about us? I never pressure to dtd either (luckily don't need to). Its like I'm not allowed to talk about it? And I can't talk to friends because he doesn't want people knowing? So who the fuck am I meant to talk to? I haven't felt the need to talk on a deep level about any of it yet, so what the hell will happen when I do?

I give up. Men are idiotic.

@Justanothercyster I'm sooo pleased for you, it's such amazing news!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳

@Skip86 im a newbie (ish) to the bus but it's quite clear you're a catch and the fuckwit is a complete tosser, you will no doubt be better without him even if this bit now is hard. You have two beautiful boys and if you have to fake it too you make it smiling through the day, then do it, it won't be too long until the smiles are real.

Bloody hell @Dollybird89 you and your 2ams...not sure id be thrilled about being woken even for 🍆🍆🍆!

Beautiful peak @Juno231!

Glad you're feeling better @Franklydear x

@paintfairy my DH says he is happy I have you lot, so I don't talk to him daily, because it stresses him out,

@Franklydear he moans i come on here. But I have told him I have to talk to someone? But we don't talk about that much. I don't see how I can not say anything when we are having to have hospital appointments etc?

Again, I'm sorry I don't have the brain power right now to reply to everyone separately, but I've read every word and every one of you are just amazing. Thank you all so much.
Sleep time for me - I'm going with 2 tablets tonight, so zzzzzzzzzz.........

Ps anyone other than me think someone should make a movie based on this thread? I'd be played by Margot Robbie, obvs 😜😂

@Skip86 I'll play myself if I can choose who will play DH🤭😜

@Franklydear omg what a genius. I'll play myself and! Henry Cavill can be DH 🤤

@Justanothercyster creates a spike in Impryl sales 😆

@paintfairy I think men find it a really hard subject as to how they could possibly be the factor. I think men just see them doing the job so everything's working. I've had rows with my OH recently over this as he has lower than average normal forms but my consultant doesn't see it as a prob but I think anything he can do to improve them surely will help. I've finally convinced him to take wellman and he's being really consistent taking them but I think men just hate that it could be them. Mine gets funny occasionally too about me coming on here but he doesn't want me talking to my close friends because their partners are his mates and he doesn't want them knowing so is slowly is learning MN helps me. Try not to take it too much to heart. Maybe try and talk to him later about it when things are calm

@paintfairy your friend must have really been looking forward to that smear 😂
I had a nurse fish around for ages during a smear once and had me in all sorts of positions telling me she couldn't find my cervix!? I'm like it's definitely there it's not like it can go anywhere! Had to rebook for another day with the top nurse who was able to find it in seconds so no idea where the first woman was looking 🤔

@2020mission I'd said a few pages ago if anyone had a fitbit and wanted to do challenges just to pm me their fitbit username and I'd add them. Have some set up with me @Juno231 and @Vil10 who have been pushing me hard this weekend. Offer still stands to anyone else who wants to join.

@Haiyaa your chicken looks delicious! Thanks for the recipe, will give it a try.

@Crazydoglady123 I always need a wee after sex even if I've went right before it. When we were ttc I'd try hold off for about 20mins after as I figured any swimmers who hadn't made it up by that point would be weak rubbish swimmers anyways so it wouldn't matter if they were wiped away.

@Skip86 what a gorgeous little family you and your boys. You might have to fake a smile for them in the photo today but one day you'll look back on that photo and smile for real about how strong you were for your boys and how far you've came since then. Life will be different and tough for a while until you get on your feet and find your own groove with your boys but you will come out of it so much stronger and you're worth so much more than a life of lies and control just remember that on the days when things feel tough.

@vil10 what amazing news for your friend, I live hearing stories of one's who get their happy ending after a tough journey.

@Justanothercyster another happy ending!!!! Congratulations, that's not even a squinter! So over the moon for you 🥳 That's just made my day 😁

Ooh good choice @juno231!
@paintfairy sounds like he's hitting back defensively more because of the suggestions it's him than you being obsessed. Delicate male ego and all that. It has to be talked about, especially when you are at the investigation stage and it shouldn't be all your burden.

@Crazydoglady123 he does take wellman atm (I have to buy them like) but I'm not sure who else I'm meant to discuss his bloody supplements with. 🤷‍♀️ The consultant didn't say he was the issue in that its impossible but she did explain the low motility etc. So to sit and deny it? I think he was trying to say we don't know if I have an issue yet (true) but that doesn't mean that he's ok either way.

I think it upset me more that he compared me to my friend. Who has gone on about nothing else for a whole 2 years. And is obsessed. Stressed. I'm not stressed and have never really been bar the first 3 months. I don't even track now or know what CD I'm on unless I check. Its not taken over my life and I'm not desperate for it like she is. So to say that really pissed me off. Being not allowed to talk about it is shit.

@DKDK123 omg. That actually made me laugh out loud! 🤣🤣🤣 Was she just the cleaner?
@Katao yes you could be right. I take stuff as well though. And I was on about getting it for both of us. Because no harm in trying? Idiot

@DKDK123 that's exactly how I feel after. I'm trying to train myself and can go over half an hour now ☺️

@paintfairy my OH did the same a few weeks ago and I had to go get out his letter from his urologist confirming he has a degree of teratozoospermia!!! It was wrote in black and white so he couldn't deny it 🤣 Of course this is something you should be able to talk about with him whenever you need to. It's a big thing. Maybe it's just a bad way of showing he cares as he doesn't want you ending up obsessed with it (I'm not saying you are)?

Ladies....guess what... I just got a follow request from a "Fertility Magic Manifestor" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@DKDK123 this challenge has definitely been a good one!! Going to have a chilled afternoon now though so those steps might slow down! I know I love stories like that too, I teared up when they told us!! I've ordered them a lovely card, hamper and a baby bath and moisturiser set, tommee tippee health care set, muslins, bibs, a snuggly teddy and some cute little bits of clothes!

@justanothercyster get the f in!!!!! Congratulations gorgeous, what a lovely surprise 🎊❤️

@paintfairy giving your DH a virtual slap from here...saying that something helped someone else doesn't warrant you being obsessed!

@paintfairy I echo @Kirky658 ! He's being stupid 🤯

Sorry dipping in and out today @paintfairy so I guess he'd rather you say down (when we can) and talk to all your mates bout it IRL then?? F off mate. Like @Franklydear says most of our DH's/OH's prefer we have sounding boards that AREN'T them.

Just a disclaimer, I can't owe it all to impryl for sure 😂 I mean it might not even be the impryl as it's technically only meant to work after 3 months and he's only half way through that 🤷🏼‍♀️ I hope you and oh can resolve it soon. If it helps, the gynae nurse I saw a few weeks ago said Wellman works well too. Much cheaper.

@paintfairy oh god I'm so sorry if I started something! I feel your pain, men can be difficult sometimes! I'm so thankful the fertility doc told dh he should take it as the ££ was putting him off. Luckily he listened.
Men really struggle to talk about this stuff because they're on the outside, they don't get it like we do x

@larrythelizard thank you!

@Skip86 definitely a movie haha! Hope you can get a good sleep tonight x

@Kirky658 thank you! I feel silly as I've only done one test but I'm just trying to keep as zen as I can 🙈

@justanothercyster with a blazer like that beaut I wouldn't feel the need to do another 😉❤️ how's your DH taken it, I bet he's so pleased xx
