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 😘🦄🍀🌸🌷🌻🌼

@Katao yeah it was horrendous tbh so never again! Agnus castus made me ovulate later but it shortened my luteal phase by 2 days 😬 it's only just bk to normal and this was over the summer. Its been cd11 for a good few months now so I'm happy with that over cd10!! Might bring up early ov at the consultation. No ones asked me when I ovulate, they're just happy that I do I guess!

@katao I haven’t tried anything to delay ov as it only seems to have been the last few cycles, before then my cycles were irregular since coming off the pill so it never really occurred to me. Going to research the soya isoflavones, oh or maybe not seeing @notamumyetbutrying comment, maybe just wait it out a few more months!

@kirky658 oh wow! Super clear scan photo 😊 I bet you're feeling ecstatic!

@Vil10 football, yes. I actually like football myself but DH takes it to the extreme like he’d watch literally any game. We can only get BT sport on one of the TVs so usually he sits in the kitchen and watches it which suits me!

So asked DH “what happens during ovulation” his response "you release an egg and become really hormonal and you might get pregnant but you probably wont " (his response seems to be referring to me ovulating rather than the actual process of ovulation) but yes!

Ok so before I catch up I need to post this before I forget it. I just asked DH what happens during ovulation... & I even clarified "do you want me to take that as your final answer??"

"An egg leaves the ovary and then just strolls about for a bit then goes there's no one here to party with the buggers off 😂🤣"

It sounds like he thinks he's the problem 😂🤣

@notyetamumbuttrying definitely trying to!

@Katao I should be so lucky! 😂

@Minster2012 omg his response haha!

My DH's response to the ovulation question:
"FSH causes the ovary to release an egg then when it matures the LH causes it to mature to a point where fertilisation can occur, it travels down the fallopian tubes to the womb and sits and waits to be fertilised for 12 hours or so'

Can't you tell he's a science teacher 🤣🤣

@minster2012 pmsl 🤣🤣

@kirky658 and @lucyrp delighted for u both 🥰💜🤰

@franklydear sorry about the BFN. How many dpo are u. Could it be too early still.

Anyone on here following rhr. I'm 6 dpo today and mines dipping, but I've never had such a big dip after ovulation this early, too early for af dip, could it be implantation dip?? Wasnt that big when I got bfp.. weird. Started monitoring bbt, late I know but will watch, see if it drops in next wk or so. Prepare for next month.

I know @Justanothercyster 😂😂😂

@lucyrp so cute you got a recording of the heartbeat!
🥰

@Franklydear that's lovely though I think

@Kirky658 FULL MARKS THAT MAN! And he scored an A in his practical too 😆

@bez91 yes well also kinda true 😂and go mad on getting sticks in 😂

@Florence13 I mean I would have thought it would have reset it but our bodies don't work like that 😞🤨how long has it been now?

@Minster2012bit does mean that we are not stopping, and even if I have a wobble it won't be a wasted cycle
@2alreadywantanother it could be too early, by my guess I should be 12 dpo, so I thought it could show, if nothing by Sunday I'll test again, my cycles have been shortened after the CP, maybe just going a bit longer again

@bez91 if you don't usually get ov pain then I doubt it'll have any effect on you. You can take different doses too so you could always start low and see how you get on. But I think waiting for your cycles to do what they naturally do first is prob the best idea first.
Ha love OH response to that question! We should all ask them and post the responses 😂
@Minster2012 ha yes, it's happening! It's defo tonight's task for all!
@Kirky658 omg amazing response! He gets an A*

Dh bamboozled me by asking questions lol! So he said the eggs are released into somewhere. Then asked if eggs are stored in the ovaries or not. Then said they're released from the ovaries and wait in your lining to be fertilised. Should I tell him it's just egg, singular or will that burst his bubble 😂

@Florence13 i hope it's soon x
@Kirky658 ah that great! Glad you got to enjoy it together.

@notyetamumbuttrying do let me know if you learn anything 😉 probably best not go messing with these things really isn't it!

@bez91 hopefully your cycles settle back to normal again soon. I've alwayshad irregular cycles so no hope for me! Strangely last timei was off the pillthey were on thelong side and nowon the short side 🙄

Yes def need to be asking OHs their responses!

Plus I really like this thread!

I'm off to the pub... www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/4182093-Im-off-to-the-pub

Evening ladies!!
Have had a quick scroll through but I'm on work days now and therefore a sleeping hermit
@Kirky658 awwww amazing 🥰 so pleased for you and glad everything is ok
@Skip86 hope the Valium takes the edge off and you manage some sleep
@Sausage1990 happy birthday lovely lady!
@Franklydear next month is yours 💕 sorry to hear about DS' school place too!

Can't believe we are nearly at 1000 again. What's @Minster2012 going to get us in trouble for this time ? 😂
X

DS has discovered stash in BBC 1, so we can't go to bed yet 😭

@Katao so I told him it's just the one egg, he said oh yeah I know, I meant egg not eggs, yeah right mate 🙄 course you did 😏
@Minster2012 I couldn't read it all, was making me want to go to the pub too much 😝

What happens during ovulation?

"When the eggs go looking for the sperm. Your eggs go down your little intestine ... is that called your Fallopian tube ?"

Haha 😆 love it @lucyrp funniest answer!

Evening all how are we doing?

Thought I'd come down from the top deck to say hi

Been resting up with my damned feet .. taking longer than I thought but now have proper foot support and special insoles.

Congrats to @lucyrp and @kirky658 on your awesome scans today woohoo!!!

Well done to all the ladies keeping up with the exercise and @larrythelizard that run!!!! I've got my work cut out it seems 🤣

New bus soon too... wow!!!

Cd114 for me 😑 may even poas just to clarify nothing's happening

Off to hospital tomorrow for OH to see eye specialist so fun times lol

Evening everybody

Finally starting to feel back in the land of the living actually think it's a bug I had and not pregnancy related.

What have I missed?

@lucyrp and @Kirky658 so pleased your scans went well. The weeks are flying in.
I guess Girl for @lucyrp and boy for @Kirky658.

@Dollybird89 sorry your foots been hurting.
Well done on all the exercise and videos your doing great.

@Franklydear so sorry you got a Bfn sending big hugs.

@Juno231 have everything crossed for you this month. Hope the TWW goes quick.

@Minster2012 how's the bus driver doing?
Are you just waiting for AF then you can get things moving?

Sorry if I have missed anyone.

@Skip86 hope your doing ok. Been thinking about you.

@blackcurrantqueen hope your doing ok.

I'm off to bed but I'll try contribute more over the weekend I'm off work for a change.
Night night everybody xx

@lucyrp hahahaha omg that answer was amazing 😂😂🙊 proper cheered me up!! Also that's so lovely your midwife appt went well and you got to hear the heartbeat!

@kirky658 aww so glad your scan went well must be a weight off your shoulders!! 🥰 So happy for you.

Sorry for the semi selfish post guys just feeling pretty down tonight...just so worried an anxious wreck!! I just can't get my head round how I've literally had no sickness this time round at all but yet every other time I get so sick and this is my fourth pregnancy now (no children) so I feel so worried that I've had it so bad every time but not this time..it's just so strange. I shouldn't have but I saw some old MN threads & it scared the hell out of me even more basically lots of people saying how if you usually get bad sickness it's not really a good sign if you don't get it in a subsequent pregnancy 🥺 I'm having my first midwife appt on this Fri so I'm going to try and air my concerns to her about this but honestly just feel really down about it I just don't want to go through more heartache 😭 my next scan is next Friday. I hope this is just a chill baby!! And that everything is perfect but I'm just freaking out today.
Sorry not been so active the app and site been playing up again for me...I've never been able to @ people on my app (Android user) but now the site won't even let me do it. 🙄
Hope everyone else is okay and sorry for my ramblings 😩 xx

@kirky685 gorgeous scan!!! Congratulations! 💕 I agree with @DJmum83 again and I think boy (we also agreed in girl for Lucy)... Only 28 weeks & 24weeks until we find out if we were right haha.

@hollieL567 oh hun it's so normal to feel so anxious. Especially if it feels different. Remember every single pregnancy is different and every baby is different. The fact that you have no symptoms of pregnancy doesn't mean something will go wrong. Anyone who's experienced symptoms and has also experienced loss, knows all to well thag symptoms don't guarantee anything. That sounds negative, but it's not meant to. It's only to reassure you that there is every chance that everything is going as it should. Take each day as it comes with the anxiety, it's really hard to quell that voice I'm sure.
Is there anything you do at the moment to he'll manage anxiety & worry? Xx

Also @hollieL567 how far along are you now? X

@HollieL567 you poor thing, you sound so anxious. Maybe just try to concentrate on getting to Friday when you have your appointment. So much is just out of our control, maybe just try to control your anxiety. Do something calming each day, meditation or a bath or something. Hopefully the appointment will help when you can talk through your worries with your midwife. I'm not trying to belittle your concerns but honestly you can find MN threads to back up anything when it comes to ttc, it doesn't mean anything really about you or your pregnancy x

Hey ladies just thought I would jump on and see how you all were xxx have missed mums net! C

Thankyou guys 😘 I've been doing well so far to keep it at bay only the occasional wobble but it did take over me all of a sudden, the things we all have to go through its so crappy isn't it.
Il be 9 weeks tomorrow going off my LMP but slightly behind from scan measurements, I know there's nothing I can do and I knew that it would be like this if I fell pregnant again with the worry but I guess I just have to take each day as it comes like you say xx

@Minster2012 it’s been 8 weeks now so feel like the witch should hurry up and make an appearance to be honest.

@Katao thanks hun.

@HollieL567 aww try not to panic every pregnancy is different and it is not a bad sign that your not feeling sick. Keep hanging in there and hopefully you will feel a bit more confident after your next scan.
