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 aww well so you should feel that way ☺️

@Dollybird89 I love some of the YouTube videos for yoga and Pilates, I do prefer yoga but they are both fab for core strength and building pelvic floor muscles.

Good news, I got an autism councillor to help with my appeal, haven't managed to speak with shitty senco yet, which isn't bad, as I will use that against her
Bad news, I had to get new work trousers online as a pair ripped on the inside seam, I had to send one of the boys to the shop to get needle and thread to fix them😲 only female in, so lots of embarrassed looking guys, they didn't even question my hiding in the back for half an hour

@bez91 I'm cd7 so we very nearly cycle buddies again! 🥰

@Sausage1990 enjoy your evening and sorry your work friend is having a hard time 😢
Those peaks looks good !! I get a very quick and not particularly strong peak!

@blackcurrantqueen @bez91 cd 6 here, how long are your cycles?

@notyetamumbuttrying thanks. Yes fertility clinic appointment next week. I was sure it would be cancelled again but no word so looks like it is going ahead 😃

@Florence13 @Justanothercyster @Kirky658 @Vil10 @blackcurrantqueen @paintfairy @bez91 @Crazydoglady123 @Minster2012 aw thank you all so much girls x you are a lovely bunch 😊 I'm ok. I had a bfn at 10dpo so that softened the blow and to be honest my expectations are low these days! Getting a bit crampy now so I imagine af will arrive as expected tomorrow and that at least will make it a 25 day cycle unlike last month's 22 day one so small wins 🙂
@blackcurrantqueen I'm glad you have got an appointment sorted for yourself and thatit is not too far off x

@Dollybird89 I find yoga too airy fairy, Pilates can be great, I find that can be great

@Gem176 @Crazydoglady123 alllll shuddering at the thought!!

@Juno231 how are you feeling? Are you testing tomorrow?

@Sausage1990 ooo are peaking?

@notyetamumbuttrying ahh bless your DH 🥺 you're right thank you, just unusual for me but my body does like to change to goalposts.

@blackcurrantqueen @Franklydear buddies 🥰 usually about 30/31 for me at the moment, how about you ladies?

@Dollybird89 I'd recommend the Les Mills trial! You can pick workouts not requiring equipment and they all have great music and have amendments depending on ability. I think there's even zumba on there? As well as body balance which is a blend of yoga /pilates, and something called Barre which is inspired by ballet practice.

@Minster2012 meh, waiting for AF. 10DPO tomorrow so could test then potentially.

@Dollybird89 I've got this www.amazon.co.uk/Barbara-Currie-Secrets-Yoga-DVD/dp/B00005RKRX?tag=mumsnetforu03-21 and had it years. I like it and it covers all levels really. Its also pretty normal. I need to try and find some on YouTube that are ok, but a lot are a bit airy fairy- like hippy earth people on about breathing. Can't be doing with it. 🤣 I've never tried pilates but I'll look for some to try. So if I stumble across anything decent, I'll let you know!

@Juno231 maybe wait it out then if you feel meh 😬, donnnnnnaaaaaaa worrrryyyyy abbbpuuuudddddaaaa it xxx

@Florence13 thanks 😊
@Franklydear glad you can appeal the decision! What are the timelines for that?
Oh bless you with the wardrobe malfunction. Well handled though!
@blackcurrantqueen I'm cd7 too! I ov early so I'll soon be out of sync with you guys.
@Katao ooh that's great news! I'm sure it will go ahead x
@bez91 I know, it nearly broke my heart hearing that. I knew he felt bad about it all but didn't realise he didn't feel like a man 🥺 our body are fucks boys babe 😂
@Juno231 good luck for tomorrow if you do test! ♥️

@blackcurrantqueen Mine are from Floweret, I got them in their black Friday sale last year 😄 they're ginormous but I genuinely love them. Absolute game changer for heavier days as I find that if I leak out the pad, the pants catch it and save my trousers 😄

@Sausage1990 aww sorry to hear you've had such a long day, hope you've had a relaxing evening to make up for it

@Dollybird89 I'm with @Justanothercyster yoga's great! I follow the Yoga With Adriene videos on YouTube 😊 she does a lot of meditation breathing with it though - I like it because it helps with the anxiety but it's not everyone's cup of tea

@Katao sorry about the BFN ❤️

@InkyPaper 😘
@Dollybird89 also a yoga fan. I do pilates too but find I'm often less in the mood for it, always like the flow of yoga. Another yoga with Adriene fan.

@Dollybird89 Yoga with Adriene is a safe bet for getting started. I've went through a number of her videos... her dog Benji makes appearances providing some extra entertainment but she does talk a lot at the beginning at times.

I personally prefer Julia Marie just because it's less meditative and more about fitness. I don't enjoy a lot of the sitting cross legged listening to all the chat like "trust... trust your power within" that Adriene does sometimes 😆 I just don't have a lot of yoga time so always keen to get into the poses! 🧘‍♀️

Both of them have a number of video collections each with a different focus on Amazon prime or you can find some of them on YouTube too.

While we're on yoga does anyone have any favourite poses? Other than those reclined goddess and shoulder stand sperm holds 🤣

Thanks for all the yoga/Pilates input. Gonna have a browse through the suggested on YouTube tomorrow while OH is at work. Got even more motivation to loose weight.. hopefully going new Zealand in Jan for a wedding and need to fit my fat ass into a plane seat comfortably for the long journey and don't want the embarrassing seatbelt extender.. it's been almost 10years since I flew too

@bez91 25-26 for me
@notyetamumbuttrying I have to put in the appeal before April, and then will be a tribunal before summer
I know! And the trousers aren't even tight, but a couple of years old and wore about 3 days a week every week
@Dollybird89 you are doing amazing, and inspiring me to move more and lose weight too

I might look at the yoga today too, didn't realise you could get some on Amazon thank you!

By the way ladies I know we've done the vaccine thing but just in case I got this through from my clinic yesterday

CD32 here today & a BFN as I guessed I better start testing, I had high & a peak reading on the OPKs around 11days ago, but seeing as I have been feeling some symptoms I kinda let myself feel positive. Shouldn't. Should know better 😝

Morning ladies. Sorry about the BFN @minster2012. I decided to skip my run this morning, just felt too tired. Had a shower after DH left for work then had another hours nap on the sofa. Fabulous ❤️

Morning ladies,

@Franklydear so sorry to about your wardrobe malfunction what a nightmare and especially if they weren’t even that old!

@Dollybird89 you are such an inspiration and New Zealand how exciting!!

@Minster2012 sorry about the bfn if it’s any consolation I have been the exact same until af finally made an appearance. Slightly different from normal but guess the mc made my cycle a bit wonky anyway.

Same, loads of messages yesterday saying I was mentioned 💤

@crazydoglady123 what treatment plan are you on? Ovulation induction? Looking into this atm. Really want the tests to see what's going on.

@Katao 😢 sending hugs hunni

Nothing much to report here, counting yesterday as CD1 as period was very light (just a wipe) then old blood, then more normal yest. A but clotty today, tong small ones but a good few.

Got loads done to front of our house over the weekend. When we bought here, the previous person was renting. Think there was an unofficial agreement he would get 1st refusal to buy. So he done loads to the house, when he didn't get 1st refusal and house went on the market he stripped all. Skirting, doors, sockets (covered with blanks) etc. But he also removed the French doors, the caps of the wall and the gates, (obviously he bought them) we got all inside sorted but hadnt got round to the outside. So last wkend my French doors went on and my gates were made 💕💕 delighted with life lol got my postbox up and my house number. Got the place all power hosed down. Finally getting there we are.

Hit post too quick ☹
@minster2012 hope ur ok hun. Its hard not to grab onto that tiny bit of hope. Sending hugs from 🇮🇪

That ie was an irish flag 🙄

@2alreadywantanother yeah I've done 4 cycles of ovulation induction so far (3 cycles Letrozole, 1 cycle Clomid). I'm waiting for my period to start one more Clomid cycle before starting IVF. Test wise I had to have a Hycosy before I was allowed to start and just had a couple of blood tests. I had no scan monitoring offered by my consultant on any of it but had a cd21 bloods on third round of Letrozole which showed it wasn't making me ovulate so moved straight on to Clomid and was meant to have a cd21 bloods on second cycle but because of my cysts and releasing 5 eggs at ovulation on the Clomid I'm meant to have a scan now on CD12 of this next cycle but af isn't playing the game atm so if it doesn't actually start in the next week I may just abandon the last cycle of Clomid.
Omg how unfair of the previous tenant! I know he's pissed but it's not exactly your fault! Looks lovely now though!

@2alreadywantanother omg. What a dick? Looks good though!
@Minster2012 with the vaccine- shame they haven't got the memo that its giving everyone long cycles! I'm not sure I'd want it in the middle of treatment. Delaying things even more. I think though by the time they get to me, it will be in the middle of everything. Sorry about the bfn.
Yeah it was yoga with Adriene that made me promptly turn off my TV @2020mission 🤣 So if people annoy you @Dollybird89 then don't do that. I've little patience but she made me want to throw her out the window, which is the opposite to what I assume she's going for. 😆

Peak! Peak! We have a peak!!! And on CD11!

Caught me off guard somewhat as I'm out of applicators for lube. Ladies, any advice for creative application?
