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 😘🦄🍀🌸🌷🌻🌼

@holliel567 I've not had much sickness at all so please try not to worry I know it's so difficult. Xx

@Florence13 arrrgh it's so frustrating waiting after MC I know. Have you had any bleeding at all like spotting that might have been AF? A friend of mine had spotting post MC which turns out was AF as she fell pregnant a few weeks later. Both my periods on the other hand have been horrific post MC 🤷‍♀️ Hope your body rights itself soon!

@bez91 sorry for the tmi but not really I had some really thick mucous with a red streak through it one time a couple of weeks ago and that’s it. No other signs or symptoms at all. I did take a pregnancy test to check a few weeks ago but it was negative. Just hate the limbo as feel like we aren’t trying.

@Kirky658 haha snap with the science teacher husband!

@lucyrp omg little intestine 🤣

@Dollybird89 oh no! So frustrating for you. Will the gp help bring a period on or are you wanting to let it happen naturally?

@DJmum83 glad you're feeling a bit better.

@HollieL567 I would be hypocritical to say don't worry as that's all I've been doing since my bfp, but try to keep distracted. Every pregnancy is different so no two will be the same x

@Mococo1 all good thanks, how are things for you?

@notyetamumbuttrying he got annoyed when I said I was writing it on here. I said I thought he knew better than that considering the amount I've drummed into him but clearly it goes in one ear and out the other 🤣 although you ask him what any of the abbreviations are and he nails those so god knows!

@Dollybird89 @DJmum83 thanks girls!

@HollieL567 bless him 🤣 it was lovely 🥰 also please don't worry about no sickness. I was always told one gender is lots of sickness and another is none so always thought it normal not have any! I do think I was more sick this time round than last time so not sure how true it is as I'm sure this is a girl 🙈

@Mococo1 hey hope you're okay! How're you getting on? Xx

@Justanothercyster hilarious 🤣😂

@lucyrp that's brilliant 😜🤪

@Florence13 argh 8 weeks, I'm hoping that red streak meant something, maybe like @bez91 said it was your body trying to do something but who knows. Would you want to take something like northisterone to bring it on?

@HollieL567 is your midwife appointment tomorrow? Or next week? We can keep you going! I won't try tell you to relax Cos I can't even imagine how hard it must be for you but we can hand hold

@Dollybird89 you'll soon be back on the exercise horse and walking is good too don't forget, how's the special shoes?!

Hey @Mococo1!

@DJmum83 yes I'm just waiting on AF then calling clinic to start hall rolling but it'll be the following month. I'm ok, bored, and got some other stuff going on which is stressing me out tbh

@lucyrp they must know that nothing is sacred when you're a mumsnetter on the conception threads 😝
@Mococo1 hey you! How's things?
@Minster2012 is it work stresses too?
X

@Minster2012 yes I have to admit I’m getting to that point of taking something to bring it on. Trouble is because I didn’t track I have no idea if I have ovulated or not anyway.

Morning ladies. Just checking in. 7dpo and getting anxious now. Thankfully have distractions over the wkend keep me at bay. Had few mild twinges yest, light cramping. Had full pulling on 1 side this morning. Symptom spotting at its worst 🤣🤣 I'm only torturing myself. But sure we can't help it.

@Florence13 if you do another pregnancy test would it matter? If you had the streak 2 weeks ago then you could leave it another week do one then take some? Or speak to an EPU and see what they say? Maybe a reset is better than not knowing?

@2alreadywantanother ooo good symptoms!! Work stresses and we are keen to try go for an auction property & I don't think it's gonna happen which I'm pretty upset about. Xander's just been kicking me saying "stop working" 🤨and he set our burglar alarm off at 6.45 this morning by running downstairs ahead of us which I'm sure our neighbours loved 😜

@paintfairy how you feeling?! Any side effects from the progesterone?

@minster2012 we have a night set on our alarm so the internal ones dont trigger it but they have set it off loads by forgetting to turn it off b4 letting the dog out 🙈 the front door 1 is the only 1 with 20s to stop. The back is just a screaming alarm. I've resulted in keeping a fob beside the bed to turn off quickly lol

Well I'm having a shocker this morning, went out to leave for work without my car keys, went back and got them, only to find the original set in my hand (we have 2 sets), got in the car and drove off and planning to stop off to buy lunch at the shop, forgot wallet and phone so couldn't pay. Drove home to get them, but did I remember to pack my house keys? No. Drove around the block looking for dh who was walking the dog, took his keys and got in the house, couldn't find phone or wallet, realised they're in my back pocket in my backpack...

Can I go back to bed now?

Morning lovelies,

Just dropping in to say I'm having a wee bit of an IBS flare-up so I may not be around until it eases. Hope you're all OK. Glad your scans went well @Kirky658 and @lucyrp!

@HollieL567 on the sickness front one of my cousins didn't have any with her first but spent most of the time in the bathroom with her second. One of my friend's was the same but the other way around with her two. My mum says she never had any at all with either of hers, so like @Sausage1990 said, every pregnancy is different

Ok, retreating now to spend time with my hot water bottle 😂 hope you all have a great day!

Morning ladies
Cd25 and no pms, af due tomorrow, we might have another cliffhanger in the middle of the night...

@2alreadywantanother ooh fingers crossed lovely!
@Minster2012 ah I hope the auction does happen, guessing there's a chance still?! Best of luck! Eek to the alarm going off!
@Justanothercyster haha too early to blame baby brain?! 😜
@InkyPaper ah I get those too not fun! Sat with my hot water bottle too but cos of period pain. Have taken Co-codamol and ibuprofen and it's taken the edge off, that's it! 😩

@Justanothercyster what on earth?! Have you turned into my DH? 🤣 He does ridiculous things like that. Definitely go back to bed! 😆
@HollieL567 that sounds very stressful! And not good for you. As others say- it differs so much! So please don't worry yet. Concentrate on getting to your appointment as others said xx
@lucyrp brilliant answer!
@Minster2012 I'm OK. Constipated is the only symptom so far! 🤣 But otherwise nothing- still disappearing into the abyss though never to be seen again. Strange?
DH is continuing to be weird though and I'm losing my patience. Last night I said to him (in bed and he was on his phone) can I ask a question? (I was going to ask the ovulation thing) and I got my head bitten off. He said the fact I'm asking that way means it's something he doesn't want to answer. 🤷‍♀️ When the reason i did ask that way was because its ttc related so I didn't want to just ask after the Sunday episode! So I give up there. If it were me I'd be really intrigued as I'm nosy, so no way could I just dismiss it and fall asleep? But apparently he can. Its beginning to upset me if I'm honest.

@paintfairy when my DH is like that he's usually stressing about work, and doesn't want to tell me to not put more on my plate, not that it works

@Franklydear he was stressing over work yesterday actually. Didn't log off until later than usual. He gets very snappy if I have to ask him anything in the day when he's like that. He gets more stressed than he needs to about stuff though and I don't get it. You'll often hear him ranting at inanimate objects. 🙄 So I left him to it really and he was ok until that point?

@paintfairy you're a better woman than me, I rattle him, we all have stresses, you don't get to be shitty with me

@Franklydear I usually do to be honest. I'm quite bad because I'm pretty full on and he tolerates a lot. Yet he's mostly ok with me, but the second he steps out of line i come down on him. So it seems hypocritical of me sometimes. But i usually call him out on it. Yesterday was his birthday though so I was trying to be nice! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Justanothercyster wow what a morning 😂 I must admit I've curb crawled round an estate that I know DH has been working on before numerous times to get house keys 🤦🏼‍♀️

@InkyPaper hope you're feeling better soon 💕

AF has arrived but awful cramping has subsided for now so hoping to get out for a run later

@2alreadywantanother yeah on the alarm but we have one where we can omit diff rooms so the hallway was omitted (as one dog sleeps & roams free in there the other crates in the living room) & it gives us extra time to get to it, DS ran into hall then opened kitchen door by the time we could get to it thus triggering it straight away 😖

@Justanothercyster def go back to bed! Also @InkyPaper you go back to bed as well!

Oooo @Franklydear how long are your cycles usually again sorry can't function right today!

@notyetamumbuttrying I'm gonna try phone today & find out more but no idea really

@paintfairy urgh on the constipation and the DH being a knob jockey. Like @Franklydear says there might be other things worrying him

@bez91 run Forrest run!! 🏃🏼‍♀️

@justanothercyster Oohf, what a morning. Hope you're day gets a bit better after that!

@2alreadywantanother Symptom spotting is an absolute b**ch. Crossing my fingers for you though. Are you an early tester or do you manage to hold out? The only time I managed to not symptom spot was when we had a little vacation and I did a bunch of driving. Got nervous about driving in a new country and forgot to SS for two whole days.

Sorry do have disappeared for a few days (again)! I've realised I hate using mumsnet on my phone so I'm join to start sitting down at my laptop with a cup of tea to catch up. Something about scrolling through a tiny screen... Don't seem to retain things people have said as much.

Looking forward to the next Bus title 👀

@justanothercyster so we are sisters then 😂 sorry you've had a shitty morning

@franklydear I shall look out for your nighttime cliffhanger with excitement!

So bearing in mind I'm actually 12 weeks today I've just been sick for the first time.... Whyyyyyy 😭

@Justanothercyster it can only get better from there right?!

Oooh @Franklydear I'm going to have to type with fingers crossed for you over the next couple of days!!

@Florence13 I'm sorry your body is still being a fuckboy, maybe time to go back to the dr/EPU?
