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

@paintfairy yeah I'm assuming it's anovulatory cycle as no follicles we're going to ovulate when I had my scan and no corpus luteum. I've had lots of "low" progesterone cd21 bloods showing I haven't ovulated over the last couple of years but always had a normal period and my longest cycle only being 34 days. On my AFC scan yesterday I explained to the nurse what's going on and not sure if a light period maybe but she said my linings too thick to be my period and didn't say any of my follicles were looking like they were doing anything 🙄

@Crazydoglady123 aaarrggghh. How frustrating!

@paintfairy tell me about it! I'd planned things in my head date wise with taking my Clomid and my Clomid scan this month, if I start ivf the month after roughly when I'll be having treatment etc and now I don't know what will happen when. Hate when things like this are out of my control 😔

@Florence13 you're a sweetheart. That's it exactly, when it's been a while you start to assume it won't happen whereas in the early days you assume if you have been near a willy then you must be pregnant 😂

@Minster2012 ya the opks look pretty good. It's so frustrating isn't it when you feel symptoms. I felt pretty nauseous 9 and 10dpo which is what made me test 10dpo. I've been paying attention to my pre af symptoms for months obviously and they are just so inconsistent! Are you supposed yo start meds if no af?

@blondepotter I'm not sure where .. OH used to live there for a while in the South somewhere and that's where the wedding is.

about to attempt the yoga so wish me luck

Quick question.. any of you who have watched desperate housewives.. I'm 're watching it and only just noticing how hot Tom scavo is in it!! 😳

Well I caved and did an IC after lunch as I had loads of lotiony CM. Obviously a BFN, don't know why I bother!

Had builders over this morning to do the trial pits for the structural engineer visit tomorrow. So now my garden is even more of a mess and there's a gaping hole in my master bedroom ceiling lol. Not to mention the two holes in the first floor floors but at least those we can easily cover up after the engineer has been...

@Dollybird89 he was good looking but such a crappy husband that it put me off him majorly. I miss that show though! It's been so long that I might be able to rewatch it without remembering the plot

@Juno231 would an IC done this early, after lunch, even give an answer anyway? 🤔🤣 But that's how I got, which is why I stopped doing it. I'll have to this month though to rule it out. Which looks of stresses me- I prefer the AF surprise. 🤣 The 🕳 🕳 🕳 🕳 don't sound good!?

I've got hurty boobs with randomly feeling sick (not too badly), varying hotness and headaches. It all comes and goes. She did warn me it would happen but I started ok and so assumed it would carry on ok. I guess it builds? Anyway I'm hoping it doesn't get worse because I've got 5 more left yet!

@paintfairy ha I know right? I swear I'd get a vfl at least though. I've got the creamy lotiony CM I mentioned, woke up in the middle of the night cause I my boobs hurt from sleeping on my front (literally has never happened before) and I can't make sense of my cervix atm. Normally it's rock hard at this point but it's very soft and slightly open. Embarrassing really to be this many cycles in and still symptom spot like this haha. I've got my fingers crossed for you though, I really really hope the progesterone did the trick.

@2alreadywantanother your house looks lovely!!🥰 @Juno231 I also felt slightly bad for the tennant but then I guess he shouldn't have started doing stuff until he knew for sure 🤷🏼‍♀️🙈

@Minster2012 sorry about bfn lovely. There's still time 💞

@Juno231 I'm hoping it works, but I still think it would be a few cycles. 🤷‍♀️
Yeah maybe you would! I've never had a line ever. Like I know? 🤣🤣

Just proof I did actually go for my run. I wasn't too slow actually after my reluctance to go, perhaps a morning nap is the way to go 😂

Hold on wtf is a calpol dispenser doing??? @Tornado2Inc what have I missed & why do I feel a new bus title coming on 😂🤣

@Dollybird89 oooo NZ that's so exciting & you def not bf needing a seat belt extendederxdont worry 😘

@Katao you asked if I was to take meds etc after AF, so they said "wait 2 weeks after a "normal cycle of 30 days then take northisterone to bring on AF", no on CD1 I phone them to start scans & get meds to go ON THE NEXT ONE as you have to be ready to go straight away. So after this one there's still another cycle to go. So AF can fuck me over twice by going awol twice basically! We start ivf on the next one ☹️😔not even this one.

@Juno231 you & ALL the holes 😂🤣

@paintfairy did she tell you to stop the progesterone at a certain point then? But they could be symptoms too! Seeeeee fuckers.

@Kirky658 that's fab well done!! 🙌🏻

Ps I'm giving myself worse pain by watching bump baby & me. I might stop & watch the surrogacy thing from the other night. Anyone see it??

@Minster2012 hahaha 🤣 I'm afraid it's as bad as you probably imagined 😂
I ran out of lube applicators and am on my 1st peak day. So thinking of alternatives to inject some fertiliser for hubba-hubba 😂

Don't worry, it will be burned after use 😂

@Minster2012 it really does seem to be sods flipping law around here when it comes to af, anyone who actually wants herto show up seems to end up with her AWOL and under normal circumstances when your praying the bitch stays away she can't wait to show her ugly face!

@Minster2012 so, not your current cycle, not the next one, but the one after that? 🤔 God that seems forever! But then you don't want a December baby anyway, right? 🤣 My HSG next month would mean we have to miss that month ttc. But when I realised it would mean December anyway, I decided it was perfect timing. Having said that I don't want January either. But I'm not affording to be picky here!
She only gave me one box which had 15 in it. Obviously I need to stop it if I'm not pregnant (if AF comes regardless, then that makes it easier) but if by some miracle i was pregnant, I'd need to call up as I would need to stay on it.

I haven't watched the bump thing or the surrogacy one. I'll have a look. But I do watch Emma Willis delivering babies. Which was over the pandemic and I'm kind of pleased I didn't have a baby then, watching it. Rules changing all the time. I think going forwards they have more of a handle on it.

@Tornado2Inc oh def use the calpol applicator & you've obviously not seen one of my first blog posts near new year where my friends & I inadvertently played "PIAP" roulette after somehow my pee cup had got into the mainstream plastic cup use & DH grabbed it to toast in the new year on a walk with our mates 😬I mean it had been washed I guess I put it in the dishwasher & he then put it in the cupboard 🤪😝only I knew 😜

@Katao so yeah it would be the one in theory end of April but not if I don't ovulate & my period goes awol. In theory CD32 af due now. Get that one call them & start getting meds ready for all systems go 30 days later (as you have to start taking meds on CD2 so you need them in and ready at home IYSWIM) but yeah if af doesn't arrive it's like helllloooooo
Like you say. I of course DON'T want AF now with the reason of being pregnant but if not pregnant I flipping want AF to hurry the fuck up.

Arghhhhh 😣😭

@paintfairy god I've not even thought of due dates anymore. Totally wouldn't be picky! Just give me a baby world!! But yeah I didn't know if the progesterone held off AF but I guess not one per day. So let's hope it's more than that! 🤞🏻🤗

@Minster2012🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞 hoping so much for you! Well they say good things come in 3s and we've had @Justanothercyster's amazing bfp and @notyetamumbuttrying's OH's super sperm recovery so who knows......😊

@Minster2012 it might hold off AF and it might not. No way of knowing apparently. Suppose it depends how sensitive you are to it. 🤷‍♀️

@Minster2012 what was the surrogacy thing called and what channel?

@Minster2012 fingers seriously crossed for you🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Ugh I feel meh. Work has been super stressful and I'm just really paranoid about everything. Not coping well at all :( been a bit quiet on here as I'm just mindful that I don't want to upset anyone but I'm just so freaking scared! Apart from tingly nipples and bloating (and lines obviously) I just don't feel pregnant at all and I'm so scared the bean has stopped growing or something. MC is just so common and I'm terrified 😥 I have a scan booked for the 22nd but I just can't help feeling it'll be bad. And work doesn't help!

Sorry for the rant and again I really hope I don't upset anyone as I know I probably seem selfish with so many of you desperately hoping for your bfp (I've been there!) Don't feel you have to reply I just needed to dump my thoughts 😓

@justanothercyster I wondered how you were doing beaut. All you can try and do is to stay calm. That early on I didn't feel pregnant at all aside from slightly sore boobs and tiredness, then from about 7 weeks I really started to feel it. You just have to try and tell yourself there has been no pains and no bleeding so the chances of everything being OK are so good. Remember all you can do is eat well, try and cut down on caffeine and try and go for some little walks etc which will help you to clear your mind - deffo worked for me.

Always here if you need to chat. Xxx
