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

@notyetamumbuttrying I’m sure when my birthday gets here I’ll be more than willing to neck some prosecco and eat cake 😆 I’m the same as you CD 1 today and just feeling sorry for myself! I’m sure we’ll both be feeling better come the 15th and 19th 🥳 also now that I’m at cycle 15 I might be sneaking into your thread 😆

@Vil10 those look lovely 😃 I’m sure they’ll appreciate that!

Can’t get through to the GP after all the excitement of calling today 😂 phone lines constantly busy. My husband got his vaccination invitation through today and I’m glad he’s getting it (he’s type 1 diabetic) but also deep down a bit worried incase it does impact fertility 😬 probably worrying over nothing!

@2020mission come on over now if you like! We don't bite 😁
Ooh frustrating with the call! Ooh don't know how I feel about the vaccine and men. I'd be concerned too tbh cos u just never know do you! I'm sure it'll be fine though if that helps!
@Katao thank you. Glad you ovulated a bit later. I'm usually 10/11 too so it's nice when it's cd12, which isn't often!
@Vil10 yeah I do too! Any excuse to send a gift or a card. I love using Moonpig but being creative is far better! X
@larrythelizard I'm tall too but reckon my crows feet age me 😂 how tall are you? I'm 5ft 7 1/2

@larrythelizard yayyy well done on the run! Good pace too, that’s what I struggle with with having short legs 😂 are you trying to run a few times a week again? I'm going again tomorrow so aiming for 3 times a week.

@Katao interesting on the early ovulating. I think that’s my issue, cycle is still a bit dodgy since MMC surgery and I seem to be ovulating too early. Glad yours is a little later this month 😊 It's a bit more reassuring

@notyetamumbuttrying haha I'm 5ft 7 and am the shortest of my friends! Funny how perceptions differ. I lurk on the other thread but never dare write - partly cause I'm only 15 cycles in and everyone on there seems to have started TTC properly in 2019 but also because I'd feel like I'd be stepping on your toes somehow! I'm sorry to hear about your AMH - although if it helps it really shouldn't affect your IVF! It might yield slightly fewer eggs for retrieval but you need quality, not quantity!

@lucyrp awww yay lovely news 💕

@Sausage1990 haha don't worry I'm not far behind you at 27 😂

@Minster2012 ahh hope af shows so you can get going with it all, exciting times 🥰
Omg those responses haha! Whaaaaat. As dh is a science teacher luckily he teaches sex ed and how it all works, so I'll tell him to make sure the next generations aren't so clueless 😅

@Vil10 Awww that is such a lovely hamper! They are going to be over the moon, so sweet!

@notyetamumbuttrying Aww I know it must be hard but try not to worry too much, your time will come lovely. As Juno said, quality not quantity x

@Katao yay for tww but boo for boring part!

@2020mission Im sure it will be fine!

@notyetamumbuttrying have you ever tried soy isoflavones? I was really tempted to but then didn't want to mess with things before the fertility appointment. I feel like they could help as when I ovulate on cd 10/11 I worry it's not a good egg....but i have irregular cycles and haven't gotten pregnant on the later ovulations either so 🤷‍♀️
@bez91 oh you too? Same as above so? Ever tried anything to delay ovulation?

@lucyrp hahahaa get online shopping girl!!

@larrythelizard @Katao @2020mission aw Thankyou, I love putting stuff together like this! And our friends definitely deserve it x

@notyetamumbuttrying I always use moonpig too but I love a little hamper!!x

@Justanothercyster Thankyou lovely!x

Just done a really quick hiit workout, one of Courtney blacks, if anyone is on insta and wants to try it I'll send it you, it's only like 15 mins but it's good, then I did a lucy Davis glute focused workout too, feel good for it though💪🏽

Thanks @Justanothercyster how are you feeling?
@Minster2012 oh gosh just backtracked to look at that ovulation answers thing 😂 clueless!

Here is our very wriggly little bean measuring at 12 weeks today, everything is looking fabulous ❤️

@Katao I tried soya isoflavones. The tesco ones. Since they are much cheaper than some makes (natures best for example) i do wonder if they are any good. Made no difference to me anyway. I still ovulated about the same time. 🤷‍♀️

@Kirky658 yay! How exciting! Pleased everything is OK!

@Katao I'm ok thanks, just wish I had more symptoms as I've done a test every morning now 😂

@Kirky658 ahhhh how sweet! Little bean 💕

@Sausage1990 long celebrations then, thanks for the info, actually someone at work had that reaction and people have been taking the Mickey that it gives you bubonic plague, I can fight back now
@Skip86 take whatever you need
@Vil10 what you mean there's no room for you in this community? Nonsense
@Juno231 I think 12dpo

@notyetamumbuttrying ooo you got your AMH results, like @Juno231 said try not to worry too much, they also use it as an indicator of what level of drugs to put you on to start with...when my AMH was 2.77 when I was 31 we got wayyyyyy more eggs than they expected based on my AMH as I had reacted well & we were very fortunate that nearly all fertilised & went onto create embryos and we got a child. You run less risk of the dangerous OHSS during stimulation too which can be very uncomfortable & mean transfers get cancelled or postponed.

@Katao I know right, I'm genuinely gonna ask DH later!! & I'm the same when I'm not in the mood for pregnancy chat I skim on, I think that's why this thread works and yes for a potential cd13 ovulation!

@2020mission damn it for no answer but really good for DH, don't forget we need to lookout for ourselves first & foremost as he needs to lookout for you too 😘

@Vil10 🤣😂

@Justanothercyster what other "truths" does DH tell the class for sex Ed?! Let's get it right!

@bez91 short legs is always my excuse for not being able to walk as much/as far/as hilly/as fast /insert other poor excuse to DH 😂😆

@notyetamumbuttrying 5ft 11 and wrinkly! I suspect it might be related to the fact that I'm out in the sun at the drop of a hat...!

@bez91 I pay for 4 zoom gym sessions a week so if I can do 2 I'd be quite happy with that. I am doing a challenge with a friend and in that I have committed to one a week for the next 75 days

@Juno231 I wish I had your friends - I love mine but there's a good few of them who are only just 5 foot!

Beautiful photo @Kirky658 💜💜💜

@Kirky658 😘🥳🥰☺️yayyyyyyyyyy how gorgeous!!! So pleased hun xxxx

So no heart rate worries for ppl please!!!

@Juno231 haha no way! It's me and 2 others in our group, the rest are shorties 😁
Ah come join! The more the merrier! 15 cycles is about right to join. We have some that are just 12 months in.
I don't actually think it's that bad being .1 less than it should be for 35 and technically I am in my 35th year of life even tho not quite had my bday. I think once I get the egg count scan I'll feel better...or worse 😂
@Justanothercyster thank you 😊 how are you?
@Katao yeah tried them once but never again as it really aggravated my ov pain. I think I have endo and have read that Soya products can cause flare ups so it makes sense that my pain was worse when taking them.
@Vil10 can't beat a hamper!! Good going on the workout! I need to commandeer the tv back for mine once the footies finished 🙄
@Kirky658 ahh wonderful news!! 🥰
@Minster2012 thank you, that's helpful to know.
@larrythelizard ooh good height! My sister got all the height in our family at 6ft, she hated it growing up as taller than all the boys etc but think she quite likes it now. Makes her unique!

@Minster2012 after my last wobble my DH has been googling, he initiated 4 times in fw, in case I stop trying instead of tracking, he definitely wants this baby

@Kirky658 aw lovely!! Glad it all went well!X

@Franklydear absolutely not, I'm sticking around here for good😂

@notyetamumbuttrying oh how annoying are men with football, mines currently running round like a mad man trying to get everything done in time for kick off in 5🙄

@Minster2012 just the usual really, they really harp on about STIs, very graphically haha. I wish they'd discuss fertility more though.

@notyetamumbuttrying I'm ok thanks, just trying to keep myself distracted and not worry as much 😖

@Franklydear ah it's nice he wants it as much as you!
@Vil10 very! Mine is now shouting at the tele 😬
@Justanothercyster bless ya, hard to do so keep at it x

@Kirky658 looking great! 🥰🥰🥰

@Justanothercyster ah you might be one of those lucky women who glow and bloom 😉 try not to worry too much about no symptoms yet, especially with those lovely lines you have had 🙂
@paintfairy probably not the miracle cure so!
@notyetamumbuttrying oh really? I get pretty strong ov pains most months so not really looking to add to that 😬 was actually limping one month the pain was so much into my hip.

@Kirky658 lovely scan photo. Glad all ok. Was OH allowed in?

@Kirky658 aww how lovely!!

So how long do we reckon it will be until I get af? Never thought I’d be jealous of you girls that are CD1 but I really am. I thought after getting a negative straight after bleeding that my hormones were sorted and I’d be back to normal by now.

@katao yes he was thank god our trust allowed it as of 3 weeks ago ❤️

Thanks so much for everyone's lovely words we are over the moon xx
