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

Think I've just died
DH said his shins hurt so I've just done the greatest showman, I even videod some of it like @Dollybird89 except I thought you videod it normally not in tiktok then put in tiktok so that's a fail. 😂🤣😝

If DH says "you go on top he can fuck off"
🤣💪🏻

I'm here :)

@Juno231 have a look at some of the low impact stuff on fitness blender. I think as long as you don't get too out of puff then anything goes as long as you feel OK (like it's later in pregnancy you have to be careful of normal sit ups etc I think?)

Also I think Helen Flanagan did a prenatal programme on TVFIIT 1 they often do free trials so maybe see if that's any good?

Good effort @Minster2012 - I'm booked in for tonight's gym zoom, it looks pretty core heavy so I will be shit at it!

Very inspirational! ❤️

@DJmum83 I think @larrythelizard meant to tag you above! But I agree - you can do any beginner video - as pregnant you need to avoid crunches, anything requiring too much balancing in case you fall onto your tummy and anything with too much twisting in it as being pregnant releases a hormone that relaxes your joints and so you can injure yourself more easily that way.

Yay for the new bus, ding ding driver @Minster2012

My small change is less staring at my phone 📱 and drinking more water 💦

Xx

@Minster2012 I was very impressed with your workout!!

@DKDK123 that really does suck, did they not mention low dose aspirin? I've seen that come up a few times now in CP discussions. Drastic weight loss won't help fertility either, slow and steady changes 😘 I was still obese BMI when I got my bfp but I'd lost 10lb over the 6 week prior by focusing on eating lots of protein, and regular short workouts/15k steps a day.

My small change is to drink more water 🙌 might help this constipation issue too 🤣

@Minster2012 just done another Barre class after work - sweating like a pig 🐽

Thanks for the exercise boosts ladies! I think hearing life will go back to normal in June made dread being fat yet another summer!

@Crazydoglady123 just sharing this seed cycling image as a handy reminder for which seeds to take through your cycle since you only mentioned the sesame and sunflower... making sure I've not lead you astray from my Instagram post 😅 last thing I want to do is screw up anyone's hormone balance!

And when I say fat I mainly mean feeling super uncomfortable and not fitting into 80% of my wardrobe - I just want to drop out of the overweight bmi range 😬

I got my BFP last week, my first one ever 😄 the digital said 2-3 weeks and today it was 3+. Excitement turned into worry about it sticking but I'm back to more positive now. I'd like to know more about early scans if anyone has advice on that, how many weeks is best?

Thanks for the support on this thread 🤗

Omg just got home... boy I'm shattered!! Catching up now.. @minster2012 love the new thread and all it's positivity!❤
You can upload videos to tiktok you don't have to record them on there.

@dkdk123 I've got a feeling I'll get same response at fertility clinic but my bmi is in the 60s damit!

Today was great... but long!
Got to spend some quality time looking after my dad (and having a cheeky donut!) And made a pit stop at a beautiful country park to walk the dog.

Now to get my feet up!

Loving the Spring positivity vibes 🌸🌺🌼

My challenge/change is to drink more water. I feel like I'm never out of the bathroom at the moment as it is and getting up at least 3-4 times a night for a wee but definitely still not drinking enough.

Also gradually crossing things off my 'odd cleaning jobs' to do list and batch cooking freezable meals before baby comes 🙌🏼

Arghhh why did it double post? It said error damit

Also @Crazydoglady123 my husband is similar with the IVF... I think he thinks we'd be contributing to a future generation unable to conceive naturally and that if it's not meant to be, that's that. I think a lot of people don't realise that there's a number of things can lead to the need for IVF even simply age, so it doesn't necessarily mean your children wouldn't be able to conceive naturally if you don't.

@2020mission ow thank you for that seed cycle image! I'm just heading now into my luteal phase so started on the sesame and sunflower today...added to my "warm" milk & bran flakes 😂 (my acupuncturist told me warm/hot foods only now). I normally eat flax throughout my cycle on yoghurts when I'm allowed cold food so maybe I'll stopped adding it on the second half.
Yeah I totally agree I don't think heading for IVF means it's going to make something hereditary. My family and my OH family have no history of infertility and I got pregnant to my DS within a couple of months coming off the pill. We just need a bit of help ☺️ or I have duff eggs which I keep getting dreams about 🙄

I totally agree @2020mission. I had a fertility appt last week and it seems age is the biggest obstacle for us. I don't think needing ivf is an indicator of hereditary fertility problems. I know people who have had it due to cancer diagnoses, unexplained secondary infertility and age.

I can't see previous pages so I'm not sure who said it about deciding whether or not to keep going with ttc when you have a child already. We had the same chat the other day. Ttc has become very consuming and has put so much pressure on us and how relationship. Having said that, we wouldn't be happy now if we stopped. We would really love another child and sibling for our DD. However, I've made a conscious effort to be more present with her and appreciate her more to try make sure I'm not missing out on her while trying for another baby for so long.

Right I'm sitting down!

So basically lots of us people need to drink more 💦💧and do more exercise, then take a bit of time to be mindful of ourselves I think, perfect ladies!

Yay @Dollybird89 love that! And you are making VERY positive steps about your BMI you will get it down, I'm really looking forwards to how your weight loss continues, it's a long road but you are doing so well babe

Congrats @Ronnii 🙌🏻😘

@Ltay2 yesss to being organised!

@2020mission oooo yes I often through a few seeds in the mix but I doubt enough to make a difference!

@larrythelizard good look on the gum zoom, no lying down!

Thank you @BlondePotter 😘

Yessssss @Juno231 we will get to summer OUT!!

@Gem176 you ok hun?

@larrythelizard we can do it💪🏽💪🏽

@Ronnii congrats!x

Lovely to see everyone making small changes!! We've just finished tea, made the pinch of nom meal lemon chicken and spinach tagliatelle, was lovely!! Now sitting down on the shakti mat with a green tea and fibre one bar and watching Netflix with OH! Hope everyone has a nice night!x

@DJmum83 I think I've sent you a link on Instagram to a page for pregnancy workouts. If not sorry I got the wrong person!

I'm just drinking wine and eating more or less blue steak. Watch me get a BFP now and be panicking 😂😂😂

I love this guess who insta game 🤣

@Franklydear I've still basically got no idea who everything is Cos I can't keep track 🤣😂

@blackcurrantqueen that sounds AMAZING & VERY relaxing environment for a fertilised egg to get comfy! 😝🙌🏻

@Vil10 what is this protein one thing?? I just ate canelloni beans 🤣

I'm chilling with my colouring book
