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

@dkdk123 thanks for the recommendations deffo gonna look into getting some kettlebells and look at the workouts Thanks!!

@kirky658 omg poor dog.. he ok??

Well my 2 week dry spell has ended thank God... OH has day off today and blessed me with lake spermo this morning 🤣🤣♥️🍆 at least it wasn't at 3am... Got a new bra yesterday come in the mail and it's one of them crop top type ones that give your ladies a good boost... on dds..they make them look fantastic! Oh is deffo a boob man lol

@DKDK123 we started doing those test at home too, even ds to get him used to them in case they are still a thing next year and yes, I think is time to start on the tequila...

@dkdk123 @dollybird89 lol he's fine thanks ladies, he was just a bit shocked I think! Luckily we live only 5 mins from the canal so he was absolutely fine after a warm bath. We've just attempted walk #2, much more successful and the sun was out this time. Work time now, boooooo

@Minster2012 I'm so sorry about the auction! It wasn't meant to be and something even better must be lurking round the corner for you! Big storm here too - OH didn't lock the side access gate so it's been utterly and completely broken by the wind... he's not in my good books this morning. It even woke me up in the middle of the night as it must have slammed open suddenly.

Big temp drop today to just about the coverline and RHR has dropped even more. At this rate I reckon AF will start tomorrow and leave me with an 11 day LP for the first time in ages.

That catch up had a lot of heartache, love and hugs to all who need them ❤

@HollieL567 oh no that's awful 😫 I'm so sorry. Sending hugs 💞xxx

@Minster2012 he's got an op today so hopefully will have good news later x

@Justanothercyster 🥰🥰

@Hopeful110 ooo thanks! Il have a look now. Honestly can't remember being in pain like this last time but I was 7 years younger so may have something to do with it 😳😂

@DKDK123 I was very happy about it actually and the fact that sex positions are now comfortable again. Was torture wanting it but not being able to have it because of the comfort isssues. Omg I couldn't cope with that!😳 I will defo make the most of it while I can 🍆
He's a tough cookie nothing we can do now but hopefully he'll be okay. Was his usual self when we video called him so fingers crossed 🤞🏼

Morning everyone.

@HollieL567 I am so sorry for you, absolutely heartbreaking. Massive hugs.

@Juno231 sorry your temp has dropped.

I'm starting to feel a lot better still nauseous but not being sick. But omg the tiredness in going back to sleep after I drop the kids off at school every morning. How will I manage back at work Tuesday.
Have my scan Sunday so I'm excited for that then we can tell the kids.

What else have I missed?

@Florence13 how are you doing?

@Kirky658 and @lucyrp how many weeks are you now? I'm 8 weeks. Really hoping the tiredness and nausea goes soon. Haven't had sex since the day we made this wee one so 1st February I think so bad but just don't have it in me at all. Hubby being ok about it xx

@Justanothercyster totally normal to feel the way you do.
It's an anxious time. How far are you? Do you have a scan booked? Cramps are normal.

@Dollybird89 glad the foot is better, you are doing so well, xx

@Franklydear how's things with your sons school. Sorry it's all getting to you. This has been an awful year. I just can't wait to be able to go out for lunch. Hopefully life be a bit normal soon.

@blackcurrantqueen how are you? Have you got appointment through yet?

@Minster2012 sorry for the BFN. Hope your ok. Hopefully things move forward for you so you can start IVF soon.

Hope I have managed to catch up with everybody. Really sorry if I missed anybody out.

Off for a wee nap xxx

@DJmum83 I'm 17+3 today. My sickness went at about 12 weeks xx

Oh my gosh @HollieL567 that's so tragic! I knew a lady who had similar happen to her and left three beautiful girls and her husband behind. They've grown up to be strong, independent young ladies and their dad is their rock. I hope you're okay.

AF has finally arrived 🎉 having some lovely cramps today for it and have my acupuncture at 12pm and the idea of needles in my abdomen today with the cramps is not something I'm excited about but I will do whatever it takes to get that BFP 💪 Start my Clomid tomorrow and the OH has already said to me this morn he can't wait to see the hormonal me 🙄🤣 Just waiting for my NHS clinic to confirm my scan on CD12 but at least I'm out of limbo stage!

@DJmum83 ticking along, just collecting information to put on the appeal

@lucyrp how worrying. I hope he's OK.
@Minster2012 I watched the nest when it was on. I watched the first episode of the Scottish thing last night. OMG - the baby boxes! I think I'd have a baby just for that?! 🤣 I looked up what was in them, it's amazing. I think i need to move to a Scotland........
Sorry about the house. But as others said- sometimes things are for a reason and it'll become apparent later?
@Franklydear yeah there's only so much lemonade you need. Before you are drowning in the stuff! Never thought about that, with their optimistic saying, did they? 🍋🍋🤣 Drowning in lemonade. That's my new saying!
@HollieL567 I'm really sorry to read that. How awful. 😔 I hope you are OK?
@Kirky658 scared of the lead? 🤣 Poor dog! I have visions of you diving in the canal after him. I bet his face was a picture. They always do that sad look thing. I'm glad he's ok.
@Juno231 11 day LP? Surely not? God ttc is crap. Maybe next month is your month?! It was quite close to the HSG this time?
@Crazydoglady123 🥳 for AF.

Windy here too! Could hear rubbish blowing down the road in the night (bin day today). Thankfully not mine! Nothing else to report really. 11dpo now. Waiting......

@paintfairy yeah it was only 2 days after the HSG this time so perhaps not ideal. 11DPO and no spotting for you is amazing progress though!

@Juno231 I've looked back through cycles and really it should start today. Possibly tomorrow (I've had odd good ones like that). If I get past that it'll be a miracle. 🤣

@djmum83 I'm 13+1 today! Still bloody exhausted. Me and DH DTD last night for the first time in about 2 weeks, I've just been too exhausted tbh. Can't believe you're 8 weeks already time flies!

@paintfairy he's such an idiot honestly, it's a plastic extendy lead so it was like it was chasing him along 🤣 luckily I managed to yank him out. He smells lovely now though after a bath so every cloud! Fx for you for no spotting beaut. X

At least i got sunshine

Sorry to read some of the sad updates💔 virtual hugs being sent your way 😘

@Franklydear beautiful pic 😍

Wow it's literally still a hurricane here 🤣😂

So far today I've hidden from my toddler whilst he's played nicely on his own (the dream) and I've primed the inside of our front door

I've then ignored him when he's played not so nicely hitting the dog as I attempted to the paint it 😂🤣😬 before heading out to meet MIL & leaving it to dry 😝

Go @paintfairy 🙌🏻and yeah the nest was pretty good I thought. Ha ha that programme 😆I can see myself compulsively watching it though. Torturing ourselves and the boxes are amazing! Lidl or Aldi sold them last year too I think, just the boxes, you use them as cots then memory boxes. Brilliant.

@Kirky658 how long would you have left the dog??

@Franklydear have you got good info for the appeal? You said you'd got someone good involved right?

@Crazydoglady123 is the acupuncturist gonna take credit for AF??

@Juno231 sorry for the poor lookout on temp & RHR, it's nearly the weekend! Are you back on wine central or still being good?

@Dollybird89 have you tried a yoga/Pilates yet?

Hi everyone, sorry haven't been on for a while.

Snap @Crazydoglady123, AF arrived for me today too. So looks like the CB peak I got didn't coincide with ovulation coz my LP is around 13 days going on past months. So hycosy booked for next week and then hopefully IUI next month 🤞

@paintfairy, my dd has a december birthday & I never thought that we could have another but honestly I'd take a lovely christmas baby now if I could. After trying for so long I'm not fussy 🤣

So sorry to hear about your friend @HollieL567, so tragic for her family.

Boo to AF coming @Juno231. Ttc is a total head fuck.

Sorry to hear you've been struggling @justanothercyster. Vent away here. The bfp doesn't mean the worry stops-a different kind of worry takes over.

That's crap about the bfn and auction @Minster2012. Just means there's a better house out there for ye I'm sure!

Sorry, I'm sure I'm after missing a load. I hope everyone else is doing ok!

@MartyMcShy mine is January and I hate it! 🤣

@minster2012 yeah I did 20mins of yoga yesterday.. went pretty well I think. Aiming for a hiit workout today :)

@minster2012 lol he was only in for about 20 seconds paddling waiting for me to rescue him.

I'm feeling a bit confused. I've just had my NT test results back after my scan and it's come back with a 1 in 2700 chance of Downs syndrome, which they say isn't in the high risk group (which is 1:150 or lower). Regardless I'm a little surprised it wasn't a lower chance, as I have seen others on mumsnet with 1:10,000! Just wondered those of you who'd had kids how it compared? And @lucyrp @gem176 not sure if you'd be happy or willing to share to put my anxious brain at rest lol x

@Minster2012 haha hitting the dogs?! Such patient pups you must have. It's still blowing a gale here - pretty sure I just saw one of our milk cartons blow across the back garden...

Royally cheesed off with our remortgage process for the flat btw. First they were going to reject us if we didn't provide them with an EWS1 form (you know the one for cladding that's been all over the news since grenfell?). Except we're exempt from having one as we're under the height restrictions - but Halifax would have none of it and demanded one regardless. Luckily our management company had one commissioned in Feb 2020 and the report only just came through last month (!!). We passed the inspection of course but there's mention that some of the balconies (not ours!) have timber flooring and how it's probs best that gets replaced as it could be a risk. So Halifax are now genuinely trying to reject us on based on this - wtf!

First they want a form we don't have to have, and when we've provided it and shown that it passed they just change the goal posts again?!

@Minster2012 oh and wine is back on the menu but at far lesser quantities! So I'd have half a bottle twice a week rather than a whole bottle four times a week like in the run up to christmas lol! So still in my weekly limit :) E.g. tonight OH will be watching the football and I've got my alcohol free beer ready for that!

@Kirky658 I'm not sure that I'll be of any help as I didn't have the tests with my first so no idea on that and this time round mine was 1:10,000. I thought mine was actually quite high as other ladies I know who are much older than me have got theirs back and its been 1:100,000. Have they said no further tests recommended for you ? X

Thankyou all so much for your kind words 💕

@Minster2012 my scan is tomorrow 🤞🏻

To be honest I'm now worrying as I'm at work today thought will take my mind off things and I was covering team leader the one who's also pregnant and suddenly doesn't give a shit about anyone but herself and makes such an atmosphere at work!! Was covering her while on dinner and she was really late back once again and I had a horrible patient on the phone...I took the crap and took it for so long and was trying to remain really polite and professional and calm but then after 15 mins of constant abuse I couldn't stand it any longer so I shouted back slammed the phone down and shouted I'm done with this and slammed the door shut on my way out 😩 so now I'm really bloody worried all that stress will have been bad for the baby and something will go wrong. I knew this was a stressful job to be in while pregnant but so far I've not let anything bother me but this was just ridiculous. One more thing to worry about before tomorrows scan now
