Bus 35- where womb spring cleaning is not allowed & TTC recycling is aired on the street

[Minster2012]

No mean girls reports to MN last time ladies 😆🙌🏻I don’t know whether that’s a result or not, but seeing as it was the Spring Zen bus I think that was good 🦋🌸🌷🌻

So it’s back to the usual routine & realising men know NOTHING about ovulation, but then again, do our bodies?? Except for the science teachers that is 😉

We are still working on our spring challenges alongside trying to get pregnant and we’ve had great results so far.

Our bus is helping each other get fitter, more positive through sharing small changes we are making in our lives and trying to inspire & support each other with these too...as well as of course being there for each other during the sad times.

Have a look at the small changes beside the names and see if you want to try them yourself or add in your own!

Last month we had some fab BFPs including an OG 🥰♥️🙌🏻💪🏻so bring on March for more of the same please as well as investigations IVF fun for some others...
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

Thanks @minster2012 ❤️👍

@DKDK123 thanks again for the fitbit challenges btw! I'm particularly loving the bingos as I don't have premium anymore 😭

Grabbing my seat 🚌

Taking a seat 💺

Taking my seat and buckling in!
Talking of our small changes, mine was to drink less coke and more water. Well.... I haven't had any coke at all in nearly 2 weeks! I'm now drinking between 2 and 3 790ml bottles of squash juice a day! 😊😁 definitely noticed a difference in my skin too! Also booked my repeat blood test for April 1st and my cb digi opks are blank circle for 4 days now, so for me that's a good sign! As ovulation isn't for another 16 days 🤞

Hey, I'm managing to reduce the tea! I'm down to 3 a day and sticking to that. 😁 Not sure I'm really managing the water though, so that's a reminder!

Can someone explain fitbits to me? Do I get one? I'm talking cheaper though (even second hand) not top of the range newest one out! 🤣

@paintfairy yes get one! I see them for £25 on ebay every now and then. It does steps, activity/workout tracking, heart rate monitoring and sleep monitoring. Personally it really motivates me to get moving - and there's lots of challenges you can set up against other people to keep that motivation up. It's also made me realise how much my weight and alcohol consumption affects my RHR...

Then again I'm quite a competitive and data driven person!

Oooo yes it's good to hear about the small changes @Hopeful110 that's great on the Diet Coke and noticing a change in your skin, WELL DONE 🌟⭐️and @paintfairy too! Fantastic! And I think it's a good idea to get a Fitbit to start with to motivate you and especially if a few ppl are doing challenges it's good

Most work done for today which is fold as in theory it's not a work day but needed to do some urgent work

I think Ive missed a bus or two 😳 moved house and its been chaotic really! Also bump not growing so got sent for growth scans, but baby is a chubbster at 5lbs10 at 34w, so not worried- plus I get extra scans now 🤗

@justanothercyster miised your BFP!!! I can't quite remember but were you waiting for investigations/ possible ivf but its all happened natural? used to be newbie didn't you

have I missed anything else??? Hope you are all well!! A few in our fb group have had their babies, not sure if they have been on

Plus loving the memes from the other thread 😂🤣🥳😘

Hi everyone, please may I jump on this bus? I’ve been a lurker for ages and it was only when I found myself looking forward to seeing how you were all getting on I thought ok this is weird now I should probably just join
I’m 30, been TTC for 8 months with no luck. Regular cycles with an 8 day luteal phase which I’m currently looking into acupuncture for. CD16 right now which means due to ovulate in the next few days (I hope).
Really looking forward to actually getting involved on this bus!

Taking my seat.

@Minster2012 I have no tests but I guess taking one more won’t hurt then at least if I take something for af I’ll feel fine about it. How are you doing?

@larrythelizard thank you, I know think it is time to get in touch with the doctor.

@Sausage1990 Happy Birthday.

@Gem176 those pictures are literally making my ovaries twitch.

@blodyn91 aww lovely to hear from you, glad all is well despite the bump not growing bless you.

@Asthenia welcome to the bus. Definitely join in instead of lurking we don’t bite I promise.

Marking my spot!! Thanks for the new bus @Minster2012

@bez91 I don't like it so you can imagine how frustrated i get😂😂 so sorry af arrived!!

@Mococo1 hey!! How're you?x

@2alreadywantanother it all sounds positive!!🤞🏼

@Franklydear 🤞🏼 for you!!

@Gem176 Thankyou!! They're cute aren't they, always think they're more sentimental too!

@Asthenia welcome!!x

Jumping onboard whoop 🚌🚌

Thanks @Minster2012 I think I'll go for a window seat this time.

@Asthenia also another short luteal phase person here, 7/8 days. I've had 2 acupuncture sessions to see if that helps and an appt on CD20 to check progesterone!

Finished work for the day and so has OH after having his Covid vaccine!😁

Jumping on the new bus at the back.. I missed loads of the rest of the last bus!! Just skimmed over it there.

My appt to check My tubes is in 2 weeks @Minster2012. I'm hoping that af plays ball coz I have to be at a certain stage of my cycle to get them checked. Then hopefully onto iui in April 🤞

@paintfairy, defo get a fitbit. I am way more active since I got one. Find it useful for tracking my cycle too.

@kirky658, gorgeous photo of baby 💖

Welcome @asthenia!

I am so jealous of how fast the vaccine rollout out is over there. It is painfully slow here in Ireland. I'd love if our parents had it. Fab your OH has it @lucyrp!

@MartyMcShy my OH has been offered it because he suffers with asthma but I do know one of my friends who's 23 has an appointment for next week and she has no under lying health conditions but think someone's probably cancelled so they've just got a list who they offer it to on that occasion!

Marking my lurker place 🙌🏼

Not a lot new with me, went into hospital this week to get checked for reduced movements but all is fine and baby boy is back to wiggling away as normal so think he just wanted us to have a little day out! Got a scan booked for tomorrow just to double check as it's standard procedure they said, but I'm glad I get to see him again one last time before he's born 🥰 35 weeks on Saturday so not long to go!

@Sausage1990 happy birthday by the way!🥰🥳

Place marking, will catch up later

Thanks driver!
And thanks for responses to my shocker of a morning! The day was better although I can't help feeling I didn't need to be here today... going to go home and chill soon.

Hope everyone's ok!
