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 that's an amazing line! Congrats!

@Justanothercyster omg that's nearly a dye stealer !!!🥰

@justanothercyster that's so lovely you shared the moment together ❤️ does it seem more real and exciting now?

Scan day for me on weds, starting to get nervous now...

Can I clarify it's not insensitive at all to put a stick pic when you contribute even just a bit every so often 😂🤣 it's only insensitive when you post once then put a stick then go yeah bye!. Or that's what I think anyway. It's EVEN LESS insensitive when you've been around since before the summer FFS @Justanothercyster and we wanna hold a party for you 😆🙌🏻🥳🤩😘☺️😘our bus has a roof for a reason

@Franklydear I'm with you on the long day too! And no pms at all? You'll have to keep us posted on the school front. Got everything crossed 🤞🏻

@paintfairy good luck with the appointment, I hope DH has woken up in a better frame of mind 🙄

So we're geeing on your AF @Minster2012 👍🏼 "banging to death" 😆 DH has already made himself clear he thinks c*ck is almost going to fall off again this month.

@Justanothercyster that is amazingly positive!!!! Yayy 🥳 hope it feels more real now!

@minster2012 if your AF doesn't show up you can have my extra one this month 😂 You may be right there's every chance I did have another CP last cycle as the cycle was slightly longer and I put it down to just coming off another CP in Jan but there's every chance there was 2 back to back.......you know how hostile my womb is, it loves a good CP 'signs of life, shit get it out of here!' Either that or because I'm finally happy and relaxed after our decision to adopt and not having to worry about ttc or tracking my body went ha ha ha don't think just because you're not ttc I can't still be a fuckboy! 🤔 Either way I'm mighty pissed off with this unexpected unwanted AF today!

@justanothercyster loving that strong dye stealer, hope it's feeling more real now 🥰

Fingers crossed on the school placement news @franklydear 🤞

@Justanothercyster that's a brilliant line!
@Juno231 same. I must threaten to run off and be a lesbian at least once a week. 🤣 But then I'm not sure i could live with a woman either! 🙄 Men are ridiculous though.
@Gem176 🤣🤣🤣 definitely true. To be fair I think the pregnancy dating is a bit bonkers. So I suppose men are never going to understand that. But yeah- the rest of it, I wouldn't mind but they don't even make an attempt to know? In one ear and out the other.
@Katao @2alreadywantanother @Juno231 I'm due AF around the same time as well! I reckon I ovulated yesterday. If not, it'll be today. I never manage longer than that! Surely 1 in 4 of us getting a bfp is an actual stat? 🤣🤔
@Hopeful110 thank you!

@Minster2012 thanks! Who knows. Haven't spoken to him. 🤣 I'm still angry. Which could last a while....... I'm going to to try my new leggings and do a workout though.
@DKDK123 that sounds a bit strange?

Sorry @Minster2012, haven't been on in a while. Was making the most of the sunshine the last few days. Walked the legs off myself and my little one!

Nothing going on here really. Waiting for AF who should be making an appearance later this week based on my early ovulation. Have the usual pre af signs too so not holding out any hope. We didn't dtd much either-the early static smiley caught us off guard and then my DH felt the pressure so couldn't perform. Good times...not!! 😂 I'm jealous of the banging to death!! I've realised that we won't have another baby before our DD turns 4 and that makes me a bit sad but I'm just going to get on with things as much as I can.

Congratulations @Justanothercyster, fab news. What a strong line!! Congrats @ttcabroad too, great to see bfps!

Interesting to hear your experience @Juno231 of getting your tubes checked! I'm getting that done in a few weeks so something to look forward to 🤣

@dkdk123, sorry about your v early AF. I might have missed it but are you getting any tests done to see what's going on?

@paintfairy, myself and my sister always say the human species would have died off by now if everything was left to men! Women carry the mental load pretty much all the time I reckon.

Hope everyone else is doing well! Start of March...I love Spring and Summer is only around the corner!!

Morning ladies! Well that was the shittest sleep 😴

However I am now officially fully vaccinated having had my 2nd dose this morning 💪🏻

Update from me, I'm on CD18 and have been doing some opk and so far it's been zero, until yesterday when I got a light 2nd line so I'm hoping my body is gearing up to ovulation soon. I thought maybe I'd be lucky with ovulation this week as both DH & I are off work but alas no joy... We'll just have to practise instead 😉

I'm still buzzing over your news @justanothercyster & loving that frer line 💕

I've been doing some embroidery hoops recently for friends just has pick me ups and I wanted to share with you guys... I know there's a few crafty ones among us. Xx

@paintfairy good luck today! And yeah I've told OH I wouldn't mind if our daughters were lesbians as I reckon life would be better that way. Whenever I've lived with women my life has been so easy!

@Gem176 haha I can't wait to see what OH will think of all the pregnancy stuff, all of it will be so alien to him.

@Justanothercyster holy smokes what a line! You must have implanted early I reckon - those are the best eggies

Had a temp rise today so pretty sure I did ovulate yesterday. Managed to DTD yday afternoon so we've hopefully caught the egg! Will see if OH can manage again tonight as I do worry sometimes that we stop trying too soon.

It's the first of the month btw - am I the only one who updates her budget tracker then? It's like my favourite day of the month lol!

@Gem176 I definitely still have age on my side and hopefully after 10/11 months off TTC it'll be just the break we needed!! I'll be sure to keep you all up to date with when we book and definitely pictures!!x

@bez91 so sorry for the bfn!! Sending hugs x

@DKDK123 your body is being such a fuck boy!!

@Justanothercyster look at that line!! So happy for you x

@DKDK123 wtf is that all about?! Honestly I’m sure our bodies know when we are ttc and just go “well it’s time to go fuck shit up” 🤣😭

@Justanothercyster beautiful line, I think it is safe to say that you are pregnant 😂 would love to hear all your updates.

@Kirky658 try not to be nervous, you’ll have to think of lots of things to do to keep you busy!

Got my fingers crossed for you @MartyMcShy!

Good luck with the appointment @paintfairy, my DH will often say I’m obsessed/need to know every detail about xyz but only because at least ONE of us has to be organised.

If you’re looking for tips to bring on AF @Minster2012, buy the most expensive pregnancy test you can find, pee on it and 6-8 hours later AF will arrive although, results have been seen as quickly as 2 hours post POAS!

Hoping the tube blast has brought some success your way @Juno231!

@Juno231 budget tracker? I do not even know what that is! 🤣 And yeah I certainly wouldn't care if my daughter was a lesbian. I would think she was sensible. 🤣
@MartyMcShy oh yes definitely. They literally carry nothing? Which is why I get even more pissed off. Yesterday he texted me to see if the dog needed food getting out the freezer for dinner (he has raw). I mean- do you need to ask me that? Is there any in the fridge? No. So what does that mean? If you don't defrost it there isn't any. So do you think you need to get it out?
How hard actually is it for them to exist unattended? 🤪
@Sausage1990 sorry about your shit sleep and uncooperative ovulation timing. Rubbish!

Haha this reminds me - yesterday I found daffodils in the veggie drawer of the fridge because OH put them there thinking they were spring onions....

@paintfairy that dog food chat sounds 100% my OH.

@Haiyaa thank you! And God I am obsessed with normal things. I do heavily look into stuff. I did ttc in the beginning. Now it passes me by mostly. But it was all net stuff that he didn't know about! 😂 But any other stuff I heavily research all the time. Trying to book a holiday is a nightmare! I'll narrow it down to about 3 (having looked at a million and read 300 reviews) and he'll decide he can't even be bothered to properly look at the 3 I've found. Because it's too time consuming. Just pick one is what I get. We are very opposite in that respect! 😆

@Franklydear @lucyrp @bez91 @DKDK123 @paintfairy @MartyMcShy @Vil10 @Haiyaa
thanks lovelies 💕

@Kirky658 yes! It's just weird like I thought I would feel different but I don't haha, just tired. Good luck on weds! I'm sure it will all be perfect x

@Minster2012 thanks for your kind words ❤️ just very aware of what it's like being on the other side, but if I can do it everyone can I'm sure! Lots of bfp's and parties to come x

@Sausage1990 thanks hun. Those hoops are so gorgeous 😍

@Juno231 I don't know! I had the WORST cramps on cd10-11 so I reckon it was then. Who knows 🤷🏼‍♀️ as lo BFF as it sticks I'll be happy 🤞🏼🌟
Omg your oh and the daffodils, that got me 😂

@paintfairy ha you sound like me! I research everything to the max and then I get decision anxiety anyway. It's mainly why I hate planning my wedding and then booking travel each year is so traumatic for me lol as I get bad FOMO.

@haiyaa I have work to keep me occupied 😔

@justanothercyster haha get used to the tiredness lovely!!!! That's been my worst symptom. It still doesn't feel real for me I don't think it will till we announce it tbh x

That made me laugh @Juno231 🤣🤣 brilliant!!

@paintfairy... It's like the dog food will just magically appear in the fridge!! I love when things just do that!! I'm the same as you-I'll research things and then wait some more just in case-it drives my DH mad coz he's more spontaneous.

Thanks @Haiyaa but I'm not optimistic. I actually said to my DH the other night that sex has become a chore. We've been ttc for so long now that the romance is totally gone. So sad! Anybody else like that?

@MartyMcShy hell yes women carry the mental load of everything! Men are just wired up differently. Your DD must be the same age as mine. She's been asking for a "baby sister" since before she was 2 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Sausage1990 they are lovely! I'm sure your friends will appreciate the pick me ups. Hope that peak hurries up!

@Juno231 I think that is us sometimes stopping too soon. We'll generally DTD on ov day but then have a few day break I've noticed (unintentionally) ahhh a fellow budget tracker... I usually do mine on payday, 15th for us both so I can try and plan for the month but yes I get excited about it too! Lol'd at your DH and the spring onions 😂

@Vil10 thank you 💕 can't wait to see where you book. You might become one of those couples who accidentally get pregnant!

Good advise from @Haiyaa about how to best bring AF on 👏🏼

@Juno231 I know all men are mostly like it. But god, do you have to ask me everything? Daffodils in the drawer! 🤣 Kind of the same thing? Maybe that's why they do have to ask us everything. Because otherwise they get it wrong anyway! I get decision anxiety too. I am an anxious person but I almost have to over compensate by doing everything so thoroughly? Where as DH is the opposite. He does actually get anxious but does absolutely nothing about anything. So I just can't understand that.
@MartyMcShy mine isn't even spontaneous. Just deals with nothing and wonders why there's a problem later. 🤣
In the beginning we had the ttc/ no romance issue. Worrying about timing it. But I'm lucky DH has a high drive. I don't really but in FW I do. So it kind of just works for us. I stopped demanding set days (because that didn't work anyway) and have just gone with the flow more. So now it feels like we are doing it because we want to. When in actual fact its not really any different! Otherwise it felt like a task- kind of like washing up!

@Kirky658 aww how exciting! Do you know how you'll do it?

@justanothercyster I think we are just gonna keep it simple with a selfie of us and hopefully the dog if he will behave 🤣

Morning. Right so I was using browser on phone to follow and post but I'd have to type full name, once I start to type it comes up but I can't click it, so downloaded the app. It's worse, no name comes up as I'm typing and no notifications on it so I'm st the end each time and have to scroll to find where i was. Any tips please
