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

@notyetamumbuttrying wow that's amazing!!! Yay for supplements xx

@larrythelizard well it seems the acupuncture has done something if you’re feeling all the things. I feel you on trying to not think about getting pregnant al the time. It’s so hard not to think about it 24/7 when you want it so bad. You’re in good company here doll – we’re all in the same boat!!!

@haiyaa I’im glad your cycles wasn’t quite so upset. TBH I do think it’s probably a bit of both, vaccine & hormones. Although my OPK are starting to get darker and I’m hopeful for a peak in the next 24hrs. And if that’s the case then my cycle might be less than 40days which would be a huge improvement. The more I think about it, my cycles have always been up & down and they were so much worst last year when my anxiety was bad. I think it’s just been so long since I’ve had a normal cycle that I’ve forgotten what is normal for me.

@minster2012 yeah I think it deffo has played a role in wonky cycles and if you’ve had yours then I think it’s fair to say it could be playing a part in delaying things in the way illness & stress does. Gutted about your centre parcs trip needing to be rearranged again – what a nightmare.

@djmum83 oh im glad you’re taking some time. You need to look after yourself and rest up if that’s what your body needs.

@hopeful110 glad you’ve manged to find a solution to OH’s sa but I don’t quite understand why you need to stop all your supplements? Does that mean they want you to stop your folic acid too? Surely that’s counter-productive?

@bez91 god yes a holiday would be lush!!! I’m actually very lucky because my parents have a holiday home in West Wales & my in-laws have a caravan too so we have the option of going away without having to book or anything. I am super grateful and am already excited to go away once we have the green light.

@Inkypaper glad you’re feeling better today and I haven’t tried period pant but my sister loves them so I think I’ll invest in some eventually!

@gem176 haha you and your ball of rage. Don’t want to get on the wrong side of you today!!! Haha . have you got anything nice planned today? Any self-care to help soothe the rage?? ?

@notyetamumbuttrying that’s great news!!! So pleased for you both

@Sausage1990 I need to take folic acid but stop the others, OH sa appt is booked for 23rd March so thats 1 thing down.

Thanks everyone for being understanding and I apologise as yesterday I was frustrated and angry at my body and I've re read my posts and they come across as selfish so I'm sorry if I annoyed anyone 🙏 xx

@notyetamumbuttrying not a teacher, i part own a childcare business with my mum, but I'm in the settings most of the time when I'm not in the office, so I'm in the settings a lot recently with everything going on! Glad you're doing well❤️

@Juno231 hahahaha, I do an early workout sometimes and a big walk! @paintfairy @2020mission @DKDK123 these challenges are so good to keep you motivated and get you moving!!

@Florence13 I think it just depends on the person, nothing is good or bad don't worry x I just have an active job and 2 dogs and a workout makes me feel so good and happy so I try and get them all in x

@2020mission hahaha it was actually a low step day for me yesterday, but all my emails have only just come through that you've all tagged me, literally in this last 30 mins x

@Minster2012 sorry your centre parks has been cancelled again!! It must be bloody frustrating!! How're you doing lovely lady??x

@notyetamumbuttrying omgg that's amazing news!!!🥳🥳

Sorry I've been quiet girls I've just been catching back up with work and getting into routine and it's been manic and I've been so tired these last few days and had an awful stomach!! Also is anyone doing the Courtney black March challenge on her app?? It's amazing!! Just finished the Tuesday 45 min workout, and it was a sweaty one but I feel so good for it!

@larrythelizard @Minster2012 I'm alive! It's been a HECTIC week, work, PhD, side hustle, house... hope my eggs haven't wilted 🤣
You haven't seen my jumper as I haven't taken it off since I finished it 😂 But will post it today, pinky swear!

CD10 here, the next TWW knitting yarn ordered! Bring it on!

@inkypaper yea I did both lh and hcg few days ago and nothing on either damit. Ringing Drs tomorrow to see if I can get some repeat bloods done as I finished my super booster vit d tablets. Maybe I've been moody coz not had sex for almost 2 weeks lol the one day he had off this weekend and he got drunk stayed up late then passed out as soon as he came bed. Also feel a bit mean as I booked dog in at vets for next month to get neutered! Here I am wanted to get pg then taking it away for my poor pup

So confused 🤪 I've had an email to say I've been tagged by @Clairey844 but can't see a post anywhere! Maybe it's MN being weird so apologies if I missed something, it wasn't intentional 🙈

@Ltay2 @vil10 I think old emails that never made it to you are all being released now. I'm terrified of getting mine as I haven't had any notifications in months now!

My MN has gone mad too! Had like 50 emails and old notifications come through in the last hour 😅

@notyetamumbuttrying 🎉🎉🎉 that's awesome news!!! 🎉🎉🎉

@Sausage1990 thanks lovely 😊 yeah period pants are great! Crazy expensive though so definitely hold on and wait for a deal if you want to get them

@Hopeful110 I don't think you came across as selfish, you're allowed to feel your feelings

@Dollybird89 aww bless ya! Yeah ringing the doctor's sounds like a good plan 😊

Hi all, I've been running around like a crazy person now I'm back at work but am catching up each night. Hope everyone is ok.

@notyetamumbuttrying that is such amazing news! Yayayay! Which ones was he on?

I've had a billion emails too! I've not been getting them for a few days.

@Juno231 Ah that would make sense as I've not been receiving tag emails when the new buses start even though I have been tagged so probably got a lot of them to come through too 😅

Just had my scan, I explained about my period and she check my lining and well over 10mm so she said not take the Clomid yet. She said my AFC was 18 too

@notyetamumbuttrying yaaayy! Amazing!

I also have had a million notifications come through all from weeks ago. Super annoying !

@Minster2012 oh that's really annoying! I love CP and can't wait to go with DS and his cousins at some point!

@Franklydear WOW that is some hair! Mine is the longest it's ever been and probably only an inch or so past my shoulders!

@Gem176 it's outrageous isn't it?? Thankfully DH is a bit of a feminist (getting more so since my influence) and will certainly be bringing DS up like that!

@notyetamumbuttrying FANTASTIC!! So pleased for you!

@Sausage1990 yeah I know I'm going to keep plodding along with it...she's a nice lady and it can't do any harm!

@Crazydoglady123 @Ltay2 oh me too I wondered if I'd written something terribly identifying and you were either all warning me or you all knew me 🤣🤣🤣

Ta-daaah! Previous cycle/TWW sweater d-o-n-e 🤟

Oh that's lovely @Tornado2Inc!

@Tornado2Inc that is GORGEOUS

@notyetamumbuttrying wow that is fantastic news!!!! You must be so pleased!

I got my MC clinic appt through 25th March!! Feel like I can calm down a bit now 🤞🏼
Really enjoyed the acupuncture but feel horribly tired today! Another early night for me I think!

@InkyPaper ive actually just ordered some period pants to try out!! Which ones do you have?

@Sausage1990 I've eaten pickled onion monster munch til I feel sick and watched three solid hours of greys anatomy while glaring at my ironing pile, it didn't take the hint spontaneously combust!! This annoyed me further 😂

@larrythelizard a feminist my OH certainly isn't! He's already tried to tell me I can't send a 3 page, referenced document to my consultant outlining why I am choosing a c section based on a combination of medical grounds and personal choice. He was my consultant last time and I spent many months stressed as he was very much against my choice, he's being an arse this time too.
OH also mistakenly tried to tell me I had to breastfeed 🤣🤣 don't think he was expecting to be told if he wants to make a feeding choice then he better grow himself a set of working tits quick sharp! "But my mum did"... good for her, I'm not!
Feminism doesn't register with him until I frame it with "would you be happy if X said Y to DD?" And then it sort of clicks 🤦🏻‍♀️

Love that @Tornado2Inc!

I love it @Gem176 you sound very much like me! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

I FULLY believe that if it were men that had babies there wouldn't be so many 'unexplained' miscarriages and 'unexplained' infertility. I fail to understand how we can send a remote control car to Mars yet can't provide women answers about their bodies!

@Gem176 ha my OH has gotten better over the years but some years back he mentioned that i shouldn't take any painkillers like an epidural during childbirth cause it's not natural.. Oh my word. I told him that childbirth is barbaric and unless he wants his vagina torn from ass to clit he has no say in what I do with regards to childbirth. He's one of those fools that thinks there's no need for feminism as women have it as good as men anyway 😬

@blackcurrantqueen woop we'll have our appointments on the same day 🙌

@larrythelizard 100%, there also wouldn't be this acceptance that having a baby can and will cause irreparable damage to some and it's just part and parcel. Suck it up. I do feel a lot of it is glossed over. They talk about informed choice but how can anyone make an informed choice when the information they give is based on best case scenario for option A and worst case scenario for option B?
If men got endometriosis it wouldn't take up to 10 years to diagnose and there would be some huge advances in treatments by now.
There would also be paid leave for periods.
And then they have the cheek to complain that they have to wait a while in between coming, cry me a river pet 🤣 almost 4 years in and I think he's realised he's never had a partner like me. A yes woman I am not 💁🏻‍♀️ for my entertainment I might bring up using my surname.... if you see what looks like a nuclear reaction to the north later it's his masculinity exploding 😂

@gem176 I'm sending psychic messages to you to share your monster munch with me... Omg I could demolish those right now. Totally agree on the endo diagnosis too!!!!!

So we've just decided to book 2 nights at the hotel where we got married as we couldn't use our anniversary stay last year. It's going to be an early bday pressie for DH's 30th in June so something to look forward to 😀
